Paul is urring th» Corinthian Chrisâ€" tiars, most of them bis own children in the faith, to avoid evilâ€"doing of every kind. He warns e secially against sins of .mp ity, such sins as affeet both mind and body. He takes high ground. "Know ye not," he says, "that your bodies are the members of Christ," 1 Cor. 6:â€" 15. And in our Golden Text, "Know ye not that «our body is th« temple of the oHly Ghost which 41 in you, which we have of God, and ye are not your own." When a man Lelieves that with all his heart, he will endeavor to keep himself physically and mentaliy clea*. He will endeavor to keep himself fit for the uses of the Master, a fit instrument for service, a temple for the indwellâ€" in of his Holy Spirit. _ _ _ 1. ABSTINENCE â€"ON PRINCIPLE, Dan. 1: 8â€"20.

Here the Christian community is thought of as the body of Christ, or as the ten;’)le of God in which his sri:it dwells. The apostle exhorts, therefore, to keep this temple, the common life of Christ‘s followers, free from defilement, from "envying, and strife, and Civisions" (v. 3), and as members of Christ‘s body to exercise our various gifts in harmonious coâ€"operatior, each desirâ€" ing to serve the other as all serve Christ. Compare als, 1 Cor. 10: 17; 12: 12â€"31; Eph. 1: 22, 23; 4, 11â€"18. I. ABSTINENCE ON PRINCIPLE, Dan. 1: The story of Daniel tells us that a number of Jewish youths of character and ability, ant of high rank were taken by order of Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem to Babylor to be educated there and trained for the king‘s > vice. Three years of training were prescribed with residence and enterâ€" tainment in the palace. Four of these young men are mentioned by name, of whom Danie!l was one. Now the Jews had byen, as many of them still are, very careful in observâ€" ing their laws regarding, clean and unclea i foods. See Lev. 11: 1â€"47, and Deut. 14: 1â€"21 for the laws, and comâ€" nare Kuak 4: 4 â€"and Acts.I0:. 14. pare Ezek. 4: 14, and ‘The question arose, th ciately, whether or not they the keep strictly to the customs and | of their homeland and their fath or eat the king‘s meat, and drirk wine which was set befove them.

Whatever we may think of the necessity or value of such abstirience we cannot but honor the steadfast adhosonce ofâ€" these young men to a high principle of reâ€" ligion and of clean 1i :inf. The parâ€" ticular rules governing clean and unâ€" clean foods may not have been imâ€" portant (Rom. 14: 17), but the exerâ€" cise of temperance, of discipline, of cise of temperance, of discipline, of selfcontrol, at the dictation of conâ€" science, was of the highest importance. sci;r}\‘ce. was of the highest importance,| *"""â€" e prince of the eunuchs thought| The case is different whe their healith would suffer (v. 10) and‘to tracing minor pheystic:lma?ulu;om;: that he would be held resnonsible.

No man is without law to God, and it is in the lad recoznition of that higher law, written in no statute book, that he finds freedom. Paul draws un illusâ€" tration from the custom of the races.

Let them Now we have the conclusions drawn from a scientific and exhaustive study made in the Food Research Laboraâ€" tories of New York. Experiments with a hundred young men were conâ€" ducted for months and the results arofully noted and tabulated. One general and (for most people) gratifyâ€" ing conclusion was established. It is that coffee is not the cause of any orâ€" ganic disease. It does not harmfally affect the beart or stomach or kidâ€" neys, True, in the case of persons with a highly organixed nervous sysâ€" |tem, excessive coffeeâ€"drinking does {lead to heightened blood pressure and \disturbance of circulation. But there lis nothing necessarily alarming about that. The admonition of 2 Tim. #: 1, all will take to heart who minister in the church of Christ Be strong . .. endure hardship . . observe the rules. Perhaps no report of investigations laid before the meeting of physioloâ€" gists at Boston will be read with more gencral interest than that on the efâ€" fects of coffee upon the human sysâ€" tem. _ For the moment, ressarches concerning cancer and other diseases will seem of minor importance. . No question affecting diet has probably been so much discussed, with so few positive resuits arrived at, as that of coffecâ€"drinking. the life to come. The faithful saying, or "sure word," v. 9, is rendered by Moffatt, v. 10, "We toil and strive because our hope is fixed upon the living God, the Saviour of all men." This, then, is Paul‘s counsel that Timothy commend and teach the kind of exgrcise and selfâ€" disciplite which promotes trve piecty, himself setting the example. And this is that he may both save himsel{ and ibem to whom be ministers, v. 16. _ Paul is writing words of friendship and wise counsel to his younger friend «nd fellowâ€"wouker,, lTimothy. ..

Facts for Coffeeâ€"Drinkers THE DEMANDS OF VIRTUE HONOR, 1 Tim. 4:7â€"12; 2 T Tim The Empire Marketing Board are doing an excellent service for the apâ€" ple growers of Canada. An advertiseâ€" ment widely distributed in British newspapers, posters, and in other forms calls attention to the pyramids in the shop windows of glowing fruits in rosy reds, warm yellows, and melâ€" low russets. Those wishing crisp apples are recommended to ask for Golden Russets, When softer fruit is wanted Jonathans are recommended, and for cooking it is suggested.to the buyer to ask for Starks and Fallaâ€" waters. Confidence in the packing of Canâ€" adian apples is expressed in the adâ€" vertisement, which states that at the back of those jolly pyramids the apâ€" ples are as good as at the front. Readers are assured that if they were to gather the fruit for themselves they could not pick and choose better than their Canadian cousins can do. PORTABLE HOG CABINS. While a substantial hog pen is necâ€" essary on a farm where pigs are raisâ€" ed to any extent, it is of great advanâ€" tage to make use of smail moveable cabins, particularly for housing brood sows under winter conditions or under summer conditions when on pasture. The small cabins are also useful as a shelter for growing pigs in summer: when on dry lot or pasture. The Doâ€" minion Animal Husbandman, in his Report for 1928, published by the Deâ€" partmet of Agriculture at Ottawa, recommends a cabin with a floor area ’of fifty square feet. A cabin of this size will comfortably house five adult brood sows when fed outside and given the run of the yard. Such a structure has been found at the Experimental arms to be inexpensive and in many instances may be constructed from material which is fourd on the farm. The Aâ€"shaped cabin popular some years ago has lost favor at the Exâ€" perimental Farms as the sloping roof is apt to be broken away by the hogs when crowding insic.. The walls should be perpendicular for three or four feet with a ridged roof above. COST OF PRODUCING FARM CROPS. In a study of the cost of producing farm crops in Eastern Canada, it was discovered that hay was the cheapest crop to produce and potatoes the dearâ€" est. The production of seven crops shows that per acre expense to have been $19.95 for hay, $25 for sweet clover silage, $29.86 for oats, $38.140 for oats, peas and vetch silage, $47.02 for corn silage, $59.72 for mangels, ADVERTISING _CANADIAN APPLES. Farm Notes ADAMSON‘S ADVENTURESâ€"By 0. Jacobsson. and $78.35 for potatoes. The study was made by E. S. Hopkins, Dominion Field Husbandman, and two of his assistants, A. Goslin and J. M. Armâ€" strong. The results of their work, covering several years, are recorded in a new 48â€"page. bulletin numberd 115 of the Dept. of Agriculture at. Ottawa. ~The cost factors studied inâ€" clude the use of lana, fertilizers, laâ€" bor, and machinery, and such other incidentals as enter into the cost of the particular crops. These results were obtained by doing the work in the modern fashion and using good seed and doing the work well. In the case of the potawoes the yield was 264 bushels per acre, which made a cost of about 8 cents per bushel. The inâ€" vestigation included a comparison of cost as between small one and twoâ€" horse equipment and the wider and larger machinery operated by three and four horses and tractors of varâ€" ious sizes. In discussing the advanâ€" tages of the tractor the authors exâ€" pressed the view that one hundred acres of cultivated land is about the smallest area that would justify the operation of a rmetor. This acreage, it is pointed out, is of the average for general farm conditions,. One of the main advantages found in the use of the tractor is that it enables the farmer to keep his work up to date. In general farm practice there are im ny jobs that can be done more economically with horses than with the tractor. The place of the tractor, it is believed by the authors of the bulletin, is to supplement the work of horses and to provide power for belt work where conditions warrant its purchase. Canadian eggs have earned a fine reputation in the Mothér Country as a result of the care that is taken in their production and in the grading and methods of marketing. From now on they will be required to meet a keener scruting in the British market. In accordance with a new regulation‘ put in force by the British govern-‘ ment all imported eggs have to bear‘ an identification mark placed on each individual egg. Mr. W. A. Wilson, the Agricultural Products representaâ€" tive for Canada in Great Britain, has expressed his view of Canada‘s prosâ€" pects under the new regulations that have been introduced by the Merchanâ€" idise Marks Act and ‘he Grading and }Marking Act recently put into force.

This, he says, is a direct outcome of the new "marking" laws, which has enabled consumers to know what they are buying, Tke production of fresh eggs in Englana, however, has but a limited season. When these no longer meet the demand, Mr. Wilson is quite hopeful that such Canadian eggs as are available will find a ready cemand on account of their known good qualâ€" ity.. The present time, however, Mr. Wilson regards as one when producâ€" ers, dealers and experters should exâ€" ercise their utmost care so as to enâ€" sure that the eggs go forward only in the freshost condition possible, Churches of Scotland to Unite; Merger Favored in Plebescite Edinburgh, Scotland.â€"To ascertain finally the decision of the congregaâ€" tions of the United Free Church of Scotland on the subject of the imâ€" pending union with the Church of Scotland, the Free Church congregaâ€" tions which indicated a desirs for a further expression of opinion were authorized to take a plebiscite. The result announced was that of the 1,441 congregations in the church 117 desired a plebiscite; of these 64 were in favo: of union and 33 against; 19 made no return and the remaining one had no preference. Consequently the consummation of union, fermally agreed upon last year, will proceed, the Duke of York, as high commissioner of the Church of Scotland, taking a leading part in the ceremonies next month.
