Matthew 16:21 Peter's faith could not follow this and he said;-- "Be it far from thee, this shall not come unto Thee." Verse 22, and Jesus rebuked him saying "Thou art an offence unto me, for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that bé of men." St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:14 states;-- "The natural man (meaning the unconverted man) receiveth not the things that be of God. They are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them because they are gpirtually discerned." What a challenge to ourselves!

SUGAR and SPICE WITH A SPLASH A chap from a paint company phoned the other day and asked 'me to write an article on house- painting. At first I was a little nonplused, as I have never painted a house in my life. Then I remembered the ham. One time the hog farmers asked me to write an article about pigs. I agreed. My wife snorted, "What do you know about pigs?" "Exactly," I retorted. I sat down and wrote an account of the life and times of a hog that for sheer ignorance of the subject has never been surpassed. But the hog farmers liked it. And that Christmas I received a twelve-pound ham from a packing company, as a gift. While I was chatting with this paint man on the phone, my mind began to race along these lines. "If a little feature on hogs produced a beautiful ham, surely a few hundred words on house-painting would be good for a house, Or at least some paint. And I have to pain the trim on my house this spring. So . While it is a : tel that there isn't likely a man in North America who has spent more time not painting houses than I, it is not quite true that I have never painted a house. At the same time, it is not quite true that I have painted a house. Let me explain, One summer, in a period of acute mental depression, I spent my entire vacation try- ing to paint the trim on the ancient, sagging heap of first and second mortgages we'd just bought. It was during the first nauseating bloom of the do-it-yourself sickness. The whole country was full of sweating, cursing, frustrated men struggling to assemble everything from golf carts to b50-foot yachts from their "handy home kits." I was hooked, too. I decided to paint the house myself. Achieve personal satisfaction; bask in my wife's praise; save all that -money. There didn't seem to be much to it. "A\few gal- lons of paint and you won't know the ofd place. Probably double its value." I rented ladder, bought brushes, paint, and turps, as we old house- painters call it. The house trim was about 60 feet off the ground. I climbed up to have a look at the old paint. Half an hour later, my wife came out to call the kids and found me there, clinging with both arms and hoth legs to the top of the ladder, white as chalk, moaning piteously. She had to call the fire department to get me down, I lowered my diye and decided that, for that year, it would be enough to paint the window frames on the ground floor. First , I had to scrape, where it" was blistered and cracked and peeled. Did you ever try to scrape By BILL SMILEY flint? In hell? It was the hottest summer in 30 years. I'd scrape for half an hour, clear a patch four inches by four, then climb down, dripping, and go in and fetch a cold beer. As I emerged, instantane- ously ,three or four neighbours would emerge from hiding behind their hedges and join me, tongues hanging out. To cut a long story short, I got two and a half windows done that year. It cost me about $200 for. dried-out brushes, spilled paint, ruined clothing, and all that beer. : The next summer, I sensibly hired a couple of painters, They did a bang-up job and didn't even charge extra for all that paint they put on the brick- work, the windoy-panes, the lawn, the vines, and the children. But the whole business gave me a lasting interest in house-painting, and I formed a few maxims I'm happy to pass along to the novice. First of all, you must have the proper equip- ment for house-painting. Two basic items are a house and some paint. A third thing that makes the job bearable is a wife who likes painting. Oh, yes, one more thing. You should have a swimming pool. Drain the water and fill the pool with turpentine. - You'll need it, every drop. Happy house-painting. --Toronto Telegram News Service
