OUR DAY OF GRATITUDE ! *The 9th of November was Mary , Lou‘s birthday. This year it happenâ€" ed to be Thanksgiving Day too. Mary Lou‘s big brown eyes sparkled with anticipation whenever she thought of _the double celebration. Mother had said that she might spend the day with grandfather and grandmother, and any day spent with them was â€" sure to be a happy one for Mary Lou. Father and mother could not go with her because two of their longâ€"ago schooimates were coming to visit them during the Thanksgiving ho.iâ€" days; but Mrs. Stone, a near neighbor, had offered to take Mary Lou to grandfather‘s house the Saturday beâ€" fore Thanksgiving. | _ "I have some disappointing news for | you, dear," said mother. "Mrs. Stone | just telephoned that one of the chilâ€" | dren, Bobby, is sick, and she won‘t be able to go to town toâ€"day. I am as sorry as I can be." "Hello, Skeezics!" he boomed in his jovial way as he turned the bend in the road. "Mail‘s heavy this mornâ€" ing. Let‘s see. Here are two papers and a letter for Mr. N. A. Moore; and an appe and a stick of peppermint candy for Miss Mary Lou Moore." Mary Lou was much excited over the prospect and eager to tell her friend, the mail carrier, all aboutrirt. "Oh, thank you ever so much, Mr. Sims!" Mary Lou said. "There are so many things to enjoy all at once that I‘m afraid my enjoyer will wear out. I am going to have such a good time Monday!" And she told him all about her plans for the double holiday. Mary Lou was awake early Satur-‘ day morning and pattered across her room to look happily out of the winâ€" dow at the bright fall sunshine. After breakfast she helped mother pack into the oldâ€"fashioned alligator bag the things that she wou‘ld need. She was so eager to be off that she had her hat on her smoothâ€"brushed curis and her coat over her fresh gingham dress fully an hour before it was time for Mrs. Stone to come. Mary Lou was swinging on the gate and feeling most impationt when mother opened the front door and called to her. Â¥ | _ "Welâ€"wellâ€"welt," boomed somebody‘s | cheery voice. "If there isn‘t litte i Miss Rainâ€"inâ€"theâ€"face instead of little . Miss Sunâ€"onâ€"the brow who usually , swings on the gate."

"We.l, now that‘s too bad, Mary Lou," Mr. Sims iooked thoughtful} and for several moments frowned intently at a screw on one side of the windâ€" shie‘d. Then the frown disso‘ved, and his face crinked into a smile. "Hasn‘t your father some sca‘les somewhere round to place?" he asked unexpectedily. _ _ _ __ Why do you ask such a funny quesâ€" tion ?"

"So I can te‘l how much postage to put on you," was Mr. Sims‘s matterâ€" ofâ€"fact reply. "You can send chickens and dogs and cats and all sorts of other things by parcel post, so I don‘t see any reason why a little girl can‘t ~"But why do you want to know how much I weigh?" asked Mary Lou. be sent to her grandparents in the same way. Call your mother and we‘il have you ready to mail in a jiffy." What an exciting plan! Mary Lou: ran for her mother and the aliigator bag. It took only a few moments for the mail carrier to explain the arâ€" rangement. For twentyâ€"six cents posâ€" tage he would de‘liver Mary Lou to her grandparents, who lived ten miles farther along on his route. The day after Thanksgiving he would stop for the little girl on his return trip and bring her back home again. With mother‘s pleased consent he cancelled the stamps for postage, bundled Mary Lou and the aligator bag into his car, and they were off. That _ Thanksgivingâ€"andâ€"birthday allâ€"inâ€"one was never to be forgotten by Mary Lou. e‘ oh.

DAY ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Conference at Windsor Reviews Situation and Selects Comâ€" mittee to Formulate Program of Action. Folowing the tour of the areas in Ontario, Michigan and Ohio intedodi with tha corn borer, delegates from a dozen states, the Province of Ontario, and the United States and Dominion Depts. of Agriculture, met at the Prince Edward Hotel, Windsor, in conference, to consider plans for the future control of the European corn borer. Over a hundred persons listenâ€" ed to a review of the investigational work being done, and the control meaâ€" sures adopted, and also took steps to provide for more effective work in the future. Officia‘:s responsibel for scouting‘ work in the different infested areas : reported their findings. There are, large districts in Pennsylvania, New| York, Ohio and Michigan in which the borers have been found. j In all districts, the spread has been so large and certain as to bring deâ€" pression to corn growers everywhere throughout the country. This was true in spite of a season not especially adapted to the rapid multiplication of the insect. It is predicted by entomol-' ogists that a favorable season will carry the pest over large areas of cornâ€"growing territory. REGULATORY WORK EFFECTIVE. Federal and provincial officials have two duties: Sending out scouts in thel border territory to locate newly inâ€" fested townships, and posting officials on roads leading out of infested disâ€" tricts to prevent carrying corn with borers to new areas. While the insect lnaturally spreads by the moths flying to uninfested territory and depositing }eggs, the rate of spread can easily be lspeeded up by automobilists carrying ‘corn containing larvac hundreds of miles and there starting iso’.ntedi breeding areas. To prevent this as far as possible, quarantines were established by the federal government in coâ€"operation with the state departâ€" ments of agriculture. Last year, over ‘ two and a half million cars were stopâ€". ped and from them, 171,000 ears of corn, containing 2,000 corn borer larâ€" vae, were taken. In doing this, there has been some friction; but usually the difficulties have been ironed out satisfactorily. The steamship comâ€" panies, operating on the lakes have faithfu‘ly burned all refuse from the dining departments of the boats. Rairoad officials have also coâ€"operated to the fullest in the proper disposal of garbage from their dining cars. From the conference it was evident that the burden of the control measâ€" ures must fall upon the farmers themseives. It is not improbable that, to keep the pest within reasonâ€" able control, drastic changes in farm November 8. Paul‘s Farewell at Mileâ€" tus, Acts 20: 138.

INTRODUCTIONâ€"After the riot at Ephesus, occasioned by Demetrius, Paul left the city and proceeded Maceâ€" donia to Greece. Having thus reachâ€" ed the farthest point of his Third Missionary Tour, he p.anned to reâ€" turn again by Macedonia and Asia to Jerusalem. The return journey was remark?}e for more than one reason. First, Pau‘s mind was deeply imâ€" gressed by the conviction that God ad now a special purpose for him in going to J erusalem. Secondly, he was equa.ly sure that suffering and trial awaited him there. In city after city the Christian prophets, speaking in the Spirit, were announcing that "bonds and affiictions," that is, imâ€" prisonment and persecution, were deâ€" stined to befall their beloved apostle. But, as Paut himseif said, his own life was of® litte importance compared with the task of finishing the aposâ€" tolic task which the Lord Jesus Christ had given him to do. â€" C .

PAUL WARNS OF SER:OUS TIMEs COMâ€" ING, 25â€"80. V. 25. Paul is convinced that none of these presbyters of Ephesus wil see his face again. The happy days durâ€" ing which he preached the kingdom of God are over. What he says now must be of the nature of a last address. uues e ces cand se in t l f vnt him from delaring to them "the whole counsel of God," Consequently, if anyof the Ephesian people have remained impenitent to the soemn call of Christ, it is not his fau‘t.

Loud demonsrtations of grief "the break from all as they take farewe‘ll ntly, ‘of the great apostle, whom they are management may be necessary. For instance, in Ontario, where the corn is cut and put into the silo or fed out and the refuse reasonably we‘l disâ€" posed of, the increase in the number of borers was far less than where the corn was hogged down. It seems cerâ€" tain that a general po‘licy of cleaning the premises each fall of all vegetaâ€" time growth in which borers may winâ€" ter, will u‘timately become the regular program of farmers where this pest reigns. $ Whether such control work will be vo‘untary or compuilsory, remains to be seen. Massachusetts has a law compe‘ling farmers to fallâ€"plow their { corn ground. This law, according to reports given at the conference, is effective. _ Ohio‘s spring cleanâ€"up measure appears to be giving favorâ€" able results. The aptness with which farmers learn the things to do, and the general spirit with which they go about the matter, will, to a large deâ€" gree, decide the course necessary to pursue. The contention was made by Penn-: sylvania and New York de‘egates that the cleanâ€"up work was the comm\m-1 ity‘s job. The fact that this work is of more consequence to the other felâ€" low than to the owner of the farm already infested, seems to confirm this position. If this position is taken, then some method of financing the cleanâ€"up is necessary. er Wâ€"'lfl‘fle'fi.b are certain definite things with respect to this pest for the farmâ€" ‘ 5. P.anting corn that matures in a . short period of time at the latest posâ€" |sible date reduces the percentage of â€" borers. _ 1. He should cut his corn stubble as short as possible, to leave the fewest number of larvae in the fie‘d. p 2. The corn should be put into the silo where the action of the juices deâ€" stroys the pest; or, it should be fed out and, in the spring, all the cornâ€" sta‘k butts and cobs shou‘ld be piled and burned. Shredding the fodder and the careful working of the refuse into the manure pile, a‘so destroys a high per cent. of the larvae. i Farmers living in infested areas louglxt voluntarily to practice these measures religiously. â€" 3. Late powing of the corn field is effective in disturbing the life cycle of the insect. This measure has been proven effective in several districts, as reported at this conference. 4. Where the ground is not plowed, the breaking down of the stubble by dragging a log or stee: rail over them when they are frozen and, if possible, the colecting and burning of the stubs furnish further means of control. estly exhorts the e‘ders to a serious discharge of their pastoral duties, The Ho:y Spirit of God has called them to be "shepherds" or guardians of the sou:s of Christ‘s people. They are therefore responsible to God for these souis, and must never forget that Christ gave his life for the sheep, even the humblest of them. _ * Vs. 29, 30. What makes Paul so‘ urgent in pressing these duties 0n| the Ephesian elders is that he foreâ€" sees a double danger threatening thel spiritual life of the Christians of: Ephesus. (1) A danger from with-} out; fierce "wolves" lget.ting in and de-‘ stroying the flock. Here the reference probably is to Jewish antagonists, who | will raid the church with their re-I actionary teachings, and engineer perâ€" secutions against the Christians, thus, temPt.ing the weak to fal} away from Christ. (2) A danger from within;} false teachers rising within the Chrisâ€" tian community itse‘f. Here the refâ€" srence is probably to those who will argue that Christians do not need to keep aloof from ido‘atry or from the organimed heathen guilds, thus menâ€" acing the purity of Christian life. A‘ glance at a letter written to Ephesus some years later (Rev. 2:1â€"7), will show that these warning were not unneeded. II. PAUL COUNSELS TO SELFâ€"SACRIFICING SERVICE, 31â€"38. V. 31. The Ephesian e‘ders must, therefore, "watch" or keep their eyes open, remembering how for three years, Paul himsef had watched for their souls, stinting himself of sleep, and grudging no pains or "tears" lthut tfiy mig‘ht lay hold of the kingâ€" dom of God. * a ; _ V. 85.
