Every saved sinner is privileged to dwell by faith in Jeru- salem, City of Peace. and to-feast upon the good things provided by the king. but while we stay in these mortal bodies we will never get over our lame- ness. but will have to say to the end. “i know that in meâ€"that is. in my fleshâ€"dwelleth no good thing" (Rom. vii. 18).

He found that there was a son of Jonathan who was lame on both feet, his nurse having let him fall when he was five years old as she took him up to flee with him at the time of his father's death (II Sam. iv. 4). His being lame because of the fault of another reminds us that the whole race is lame on both. feet be- cause Adam let us all fall. He was at this time at Lo-debar. which signifies no pasture. and that is where all sin- ners are. His name also signifies the condition of every sinner. David sent to where he was and brought him into his presence. and Mephihosheth fell on‘ his face and did reverence. So the sinner when brought face to face with the Saviour (that is by faith) feels like saying. as Peter did when overwhelm- ed with loving kindness, “I am a sin- ful man. 0 Lord" (Luke v. 8). David's restoring to him all that he had for- feited because of Saul reminds us that all we lost in Adam and more is given back to .us in Christ and all in grace for His name’s sake. live?” But when the child died and the will of God was known then he said: “Wherefore should I fast ‘2 Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him but he shall not return to me" (verses 133 :23). When those dear to us are sick and we cannot tell what the will of God is for them and us it be- comes us to wait earnestly upon Him for their health. but always in sub- mission to His will. When He has made plain His will, whatever it may be. it becomes us to say, “Even so, Fa- ther," for we know that "as for God. His way is perfect" (Matt. xi, 20: PS. xviii, 30). In verses ‘24, -5, we have the two names of Bathsheha’s next child. Solomon and Jedidiah. The lat- ter. as in the margin. signifies “be- loved of the Lord." for the Lord loved him and sent by the hand of Nathan to name him. The Lord called him Solomon before he was born. saying to David. “Behold. a. son shall be born to thee who shall be a man of rest. * * * and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days" (I Chron. xxii. 9). He said. “His name shall be Solomon," which. according to the margin. means “peaceable.” There are just seven men in the Bible story who were named before they were bornâ€"five in the Old Testament and two in the New Testament. Find the others and consider them. Let us give the rest of our time to the very suggestive story of Mephibosheth in chapter ix. When David came to the kingdom he made inquiry for any who might be living of the house of Saul that be When we remember that “the thought of foolishness is sin" and that a sinful look is in the sight of God equal to a sinful act (Prov. xxiv, 9; Matt. v, 28) and that. as C. H. Spurgeon said. “Whatever the Lord Jesus Christ would not think or say or do is sin,” it leads one to cry out. “God be merciful to me, a sinner." and to say. "If thou. Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord. who shall stand?“ (Luke xviii. 13; Ps. exxx. 3, 4.) But the comfort is that He can make the 'vilest whiter than snow (PS. Ii. 7). It is interesting to note that. while the child yet lived. David fasted and went and lay all night upon the earth. for he said, “Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me. that the child 'may Text of the Lesson, ll Sam. xi,22 to xii, 7a-Momory Verses, xii, 5. 6, 73. Golden Text, P8. li, 10â€"Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Steams. Instead of assigning us a helpful les- son, such as chapter viii, which we briefly touched upon in our last. or the beautiful story of David’s kindness to the son of Jonathan (chapter ix), the committee has given us in this lesson one of the worst phases of the human heart, which is always and only de- ceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jer. xvii, 9, 10;. He who alone knows and can search the heart has caused this and all similar records to be written that we might see more clearly that all are sinners and that there is none righteousâ€"no. not oneâ€" but that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners and that the greatest sinner may be saved and the greatest backslider forgiven and re- stored. To find such a development of our sinful human nature in such a man as David after all that the Lord had done for him is truly humiliating and should lead us all to say. "Woe is me!” for who is there to whom the prophet might not say concerning this or some other phase of our sinful na-: ture. "Thou art the man” (xii. 7). i SUNIJAY SGHWL run I “I have taken the opportunity lof consulting a number of clergy lwho know the country lads well. 'They have all expressed the same .opinion. The lads are already [greatly improved by military ser- vice and better feeding. They are greatly pleased with themselves. iThey are tasting what seems to ’them a more interesting life than they knew before. Whatever they become after the war, they will not return to what they were. it is therefore not a temporary, but a permanent shortage of labor that has to be met. It must be met. I believe, by improving wages and conditions so as to at- tract labor to the countrv: and this improvement had better be. begun at once and. on a Svstem- atic scale. Also education should not be curtailed, but in every way improve-:1 so as to make rural edu ~ cation a better preparation for rural life. To meet the shortage bv withdrawing boys prematurely from school on a large scale is a disastrously reactionary measure which 'it will be hard, to reverse.” I can-not but feel. The ground of this anxiety lies in the considera- tion that the existing shortage is not likely to be temporary. In other words, I do not believe that the young men who have enâ€" listed for the War are likely to return to the land, under the old conditions, after the war. “I have been endeavoring to ascertain the facts more D; easel-.3 Such enquiry as I have been un- able to make increases the anxiety There have been many protests against this suggestion, notably bv ,Bishop Gore. who in a letter to The Times, says that he has iust visited one school where the seven boys at the top of the school have been thus withdrawn. He adds: ' One of the many social problems create-:1 by the War is the lack of labor in our countryside and the suggestion is being made that the lack shall be supplied by the labor of children who should be at school. “Let there be no mistake.“ savs the Daily Citizen. “This great war is not going to leave social orob- lems in the old place. The effect of it will be searching and deep. The spirit of the people. of the great masses of the people. has been roused by this war as that Spirit never was roused before. These great masses of the people have. been and are realizing them- selves as never before. When sons and brothers come back, as they will, the veterans of victory, the man who reads history in tne na- tion’s eyes will'meet with a new expression. Whatever these toilers of the fields and of the meaner streets become they cannot be what they were}? ' WHEN THE ENGLISH COUNTRY LAD RE] URNS By home mixing saving of 25 to 35 be effected. Commercial fertilizers can-not be depended upon profitably to maintain the soil; hence their ex- clusive use is discountenanced. Such in brief are a few of the conclusions arrived at bv Dr. Shutt, but to get real benefit from the circular application should be made for it to the publications branch. department of agriculture, Otta wa. The lesson is: Grow a legumin- ous crop in the rotation. as all other crops, save the legumes, leave the soil poorer for their growth. ' Manure is worth most when first voided. Rational farming involves a rotation of crops. Investigation has proven the hiszh manurial value of clover, al- falfa and other legumes. It is not wise to “bury” the manure. a shallow ploughing un- der is more advisable. The manure is most advantage- ously applied for the root or corn crop in the rotation. The amount of manure on a farm being insufficient, ireq-uent light dressings are advisable in- stead of larger ones at longer intervals. Rational farming is “mixed” farming. Barnyard manure is the most effective of all fertilizers. The liquid portion of the man- ure is the most valuable. Use sufficient litter in the sta- bles to absorb the liquids. The division of chemistry of the Dominion department of agricul- ture has issued another of that useful series of circulars by Dr. Frank Shutt. Dominion Chemist. This one, Circular No. 8. deals with “Manures and Fertilizers," and, like all .the work of the Dr., is at once explicit and practical. The first section is devoted to a description of experiences at the Central. and other Experimental Farms. and the second is devoted to a summarv and to advice that fit the farm and profit the fol- lower. Here are a few sentences given in sententious form that illustrate the conclusions ar- rived at and the counsel given 'bv Dr. Shutt: Manure and Fertilizers fertilizers a per cent. can Ration For Chicks. After the fixst week the chicks may be fed four or five times a day from the following mixture: Cracked corn or kafir, twenty pounds: cracked wheat. twenty pounds; pinhead oat- meal. ten pounds: beef or meat meal. ten pounds; fine charcoal, two pounds. It is very essential that the young poults be examined at an early date for large head lice or gray lice. Noth- ing so quickly sans the life of a young turkey as lice. The pests are usually found on the head or under the Wings. Dust the poults with a good insect powder at least once every two weeks until eight weeks old. In warm, sunny weather fresh lard in small amounts may he applied safely on top of the head, on the legs and beneath the wings. Green food of some” kind must be provided right from the start. Grass of their own picking does not meet the requirementsof the poults until they are well advanced in growth. Young clover, onion tops, dandelions and lettuce leaves, chopped fine and fed at every meal the first two or three \veeks, will always prove satis- factory.

After a few weeks of this bill of fare, ground wheat and oats are added to the ration. ‘Com- mercial chick food is also given occa- sionally for variety. The principal rule to observe in feeding poults is to give them just what they will eat up clean in a short time. Each hen and her brood of little poults ought to be kept confined for a few days, or longer if the weather is wet, in dry roomy coops. The coops should be tight around the bottom, since the young turks are naturally inclined to wander and will take ad- vantage of any openings of escape. Once out they are unable to get back again and they quickly become chilled. In order to afiord full protection from dampness, as well as from rats and weasels, coons with floors are to be preferred. Cleanliness is very essential for young turkeys and therefore the coops should be given a thorough clean- ing frequently. Newly hatched poults require no food for twenty-four hours. Nature has provided for this, and even for a longer period. When ready for food I have secured good results by feeding hard A turkey hen can incubate from fifteen to eighteen eggs, and a chicken hen about nine turkey eggs. The eggs hatch in four weeks, often in twenty- six days. The newly hatched poults are delicate and tender, but good care will save most of them, writes a Na- tional Stockman correspondent. Tur- key hens, if managed properly, really make better mothers than chicken hens and after the arrival of warm weather each hen can safely mother twenty or more poults. THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUNG TURKEYS x, h‘fl I” ’l‘w.“ When turkey hens manifest a restlessness and a desire to roam place empty barrels, turned down on one side. in fence corners and out of the way places, especially in the orchard or along hedges. The in- terior may be darkened and par- tially obscured from View by brush carelessly thrown about the en- trance or old boards set up at one side. It is best to gather the eggs every day, substituting chicken hens’ eggs in their stead. Keep the eggs in a cool. dry place, ex- cluded from the light, and turn daily until a setting is obtained.
