-- ' « hs "e Gathering 'Bee-Bread' Possessed by the glory of the world, knowing all the scents of springtime of which man realizes but one or two, seeing all the colors and living movements of Na- ture awakening to reincarnate life, the bee, rapturous with the in- effable wonder of her mission, the bee shot down into the valley along the side of the stream and into the Golden Tree. The tree was what country people call "palm"--a variety of willow, covered with large opening buds, each 'one heavy in golden pollen. As yet; only the first of "them were open, but on these the * yellow dust was so thick that va- rant airs scattered it like sifted lour, This "palm" pollen has 'an an- sient name. It has been called bee: bread for many centuries--certain: ly back to the time of Shake- speare's Merry England, The bee- bread pervaded the tree with a wonderful, exceeding faint per- fume, * exciting even to human be- * ings, 'and to the bee the very breath _ of existence. . . . She hurled herself onto the big-- gest of the buds, scattering a thous- and golden grains; miserly of each one, as her all-seeing eyes watched them daintily descending, yet the wild joy of uncountable others brushing against her, drenching ~ her with their perfume and smoth- ering her bodily as she plunged among them. . . . On her - hind legs were little pollen baskets, . . . These baskets were protected by lids of hair, and were 30 placed that the maximum disposable could be placed there without spoiling the bee's delicate flying trim, Thus, while earrying a burden equal to a fair proportion her own weight, she could make dway against the gusty winds and sudden, blinding showers of springtime without being overset and hurled to the cold ground, from which, &f overloaded, she might never have risen again: Seizing the blazing grains of pols, len, she stuffed them nto the baskets' so fast that her movements could hardly be followed by human eye. . .. The bee, who had filled her bas- kets brimming over, and moved jerkily with huge knobs of pollen. behind her legs, paused for one de- liberate second and savored her tri- umph, She was the first bee in that tree--the very first to discover this" incalculable bounty of new bee- bread. Pollen had been brought in, from aconites and crocuses and other flowers, but that was only the earnest of the harvest to come. Now it was™here--enough pollen to re- new completely the community as- surance of life into the summer, . With a whir, she sped Ah again into the sky. Using that un- canny sense of direction that en- ables a bee to fly directly home, though she may have zigzagged. over fifty meadows, this little pioneer darted over the hillside to- wards the oakwood from which she had come.--From "City of the Bees," by Frank S.

Barclay Warren Jesus Rises From the Dead Mark 16:2-7; John 21:3-4; 7-12 Golden Text: But thanks be to God, Which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor, 15:57, A beautiful Australian Jewess, Caroline Jonas, heartbroken be- cause of the unfaithfulness of a lover, determined to commit; suicide that very night, As she was going up the steps of her hotel in Mel- bourne, a young woman heard her sigh deeply and began a conversa- tion, with her which ended with her giving her a New Testament. She assured her that it would tell her about a wonderful friend who .would help her. She went to her room and started to read. When she came to the story of the cruci- fixion, she was breathless with fear and yet with hope, and thought that Christ would come from the cross and defeat His enemies yet. When she read that He was dead, she closed the book .in despair. She returned it to the giver, saying, "You are welcome to your book Your Christ is a dead Christ, but when our Messiah comes, He will 'be a" living Messiah." She was urged to read further. When she read of the resurrection, she fell to her "knees, exclaiming, "O God, 1 believe that Jesus is our Messiah." The cross is meaningless without .the empty tomb. If Christ could not conquer death, then He cannot free us from the total effects of sin. But He vanquished death and hives forevermore. When Jesus said, "Go tell My disciples and Peter," his special niention of Peter-must have been comforting to this man who had denied Him. Nevertheless, Peter, with others went fishing. Peter would have to be doing something. Then Jesus appeared on the shore and though théy had taken nothing all night as they obeyed his direc- tion 153 fish were taken in the net. On reaching shore they found that the resurrected Saviour had pre- pared them a meal. 2a, eit 2x Jo i He -Wuzzy--C Lk witli war spear and nate w.ech, 42, son of a reformed Solomon Islands head hunter, arrives in New York with a GI haircut, pastor Robert Salau, left his h®me island, like the other fuzzy ey his 12-week tour of the U. for the.

Clarke We haven't had a "million dollar rain" yet, but we have had a shower which might possibly be worth a hundred dollars, more or less--just enough 'to show us what a little moisture can do. The morning of our first little sprinkle T had been out to the vegetable garden, looking longingly and despairingly at the long rows where never so much as a single seed had sprouted--and that after two weeks. During the day we had a little shower. About an hotir later, for some unknown reason, I wandered off to the garden again: --and what did I see but little shoots of this and that coming up yin every row. My eyes were fairly popping . .. I just couldn't believe it--what 1 saw was almost akin to Jack and the beanstalk. Things ocouldn't grow that quickly! But there they were--and --I - wasn't dreaming. However, such phenome- i nal growth didn't last long. As you know, the weather changed, it became cooler, and, although there was rain all around us, we didn't get any more here, so our little plants got discouraged and quit growing. Today we got a bit more rain. It all helps and we are thankful for small mercies--but what we want is a real good soaker. Partner says the pasture is terribly dry with scarcely any growth at all. ever, we haven't turned the cows out yet, so at least what little grass there is isn't getting chewed off. Ah, those cows--and calves! A few times lately, Bob has ..been "working late with his truck so I | ~have been down at the barn helping Partnér at chore time. 1 can't say I do much in the way of work ... but since we still have five calves boi around, my job is. to see that those same calves stay with - their right mothers. They start out all right--when fet 160s¢ each calf goes straight to its own mother and loses no time in finding the source of nourishment.

Then are sllowed to run arotund-- providing they run in the right di- How-¢ rection. Watching these calves exercise is really something. They get in the feed way--a long passage with hay piled up at the end. They chase each other in, and over, and around the hay. They race back then stop dead in their tracks. | really think Nature must have pro- vided calves with booster brakes-- they stop so suddenly. But when it is time to return to their pen, our unpredictable little calves lose all power of locomotion. They be- come absolutely immobile--or if they do move, it is always in re- verse. Partner tugs and tugs at their collars, with little or no result. Then he gets slightly annoyed and propels the calves forcibly. from the rear. Suddenly, without any warning, the calves kick up their heels and away they go, with their tails in the air, and Partner in hot pursuit--hot in more ways than one. Since I have been helping Part- ner a bit at the barn, Honey has taken to visiting the stables. How- ever, we quickly discouraged her sociable intentions. Cows, calves and horses are enough, but if Honey should get mixed up with them, that would be just too much. Honey likes to play with our house cat, but what would happen if Honéy should start chasing our barn cat around while the cattle were in the barn I wouldn't like to say. Somebody might get killed-- and it probably wouldn't be Honey. We intended shipping one of our veal calves out this week, but when we phoned the trucker he said, "It will be the middle of the week before I can pick it up--Tuesday is a holiday, you know." _ A holiday! . . .

I think it as Solomon--somebody in the Good Book, anyway--who is quoted as saying "Of the making of many books, there is no end"; and around this time of year, after glancing at various cookery eol- umns appearing here and there, one is inclined to think that "shortcake recipes" might well be: substituted for the word "books." Still, who am I+ that 1 should try: and be different; so here's a recipe which, I imagine, might be new to some of my readers, It's called POT SHORTCAKE Sauce 2 tablespoons butter 3 cups strawberries 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour Shortcake 1'. cups Hour 3 cup sugar 4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 'a cup butter S5 cup milk | beaten egg.

Reat this mixture hard and pour over the strawberries, This can be then covered tightly and cooked on the top of the stove, or it can be baked in a moderate oven for 25 minutes, Not a very scientific sounding recipe, [I'm afraid, with those "eighths" and "third," but very good eating, for all that, as I'm sure you'll agree. All the way from England comes this next recipe for tarts that are really delicious.
