In July, 1932, we again successfully held 3 Lone Scout Camp at Ebor Park, near Brantford, when Lonies from all over the province attended and had a good time. This comp was not held in 1931, so we made I step forward in being able to renew it. We ar' fortunate in having a large number ot keen and hard working Pa- trol Leaders in the lead ot the many Lone Patrols throughout the province. and we certainly appreciate the good work they are doing in their communi- ties.

Scientist Describes New Vital Life Rays Tlantic City. N.J.--Claim that he has discovered vital "lite" rays in radiations beyond the shortest visi- ble rays of light was made by Dimini- try Bérodin. of New York. before the American Association for the Advance- ment ot Science. These invisibk rays. he says. are responsible for the "mutations" of heredity, the changes which cause every person to be dinerent in some details ot appearance and character from every other person on earth. These "mutations" are caused by alternations in "genes" the deter- miners ot hereditary characters tor all men, animals, and plants. The rays he said are generated by all living bodies and hence reach and change the genes.

THE MASTER or MIND, Mark 1:21-28. H. THE MASTER or BODY, Mark I: 29- 34. III. 1m: seem or POWER, Mark 1."3ir INTRODUCTION - Today’s passage does two things: (a) It gives a pic- ture of a typical day in Jesus' life at this time. A Sabbath day is chosen The rapid succession of incidents em- phasizes the ceaseless activity and) the strain under which the Master) was laboring all the time. (b) It stresses that consciousness of power and the authority which characterized Jesus ever since his baptism at Jor- dan and his eonfliet in the wilderness. In every case he is the masterful per- sonality who is more than equal for every situation. l'." was MASTER or MIND, Mark 1:21-28. On the Sabbath Jesus, as His cus- tom was, went to church. The ser- vice. as usual, was in charge of the local elder. Seeing Jesus in the con- gregation. and evidently knowing him as one likely to have something worth- while to say. . he asked Him Fr, speak. Rather short notice'. The ei- fe't of Jesus' address was electric. Verse 27 expresses the astonis.rry ment of the people because Jesus did not insoke the name of some other spirit which the man's demon would obey. This was the usual method. Juus looked for no other name. He had within Him.clf the power to heal and to soothe. II. THE MASTER our son. Mart 1: 29- M. After the synagogue service, Jesus, with some of His diseipres,.went to the home of Simon and Andrew. He was not yet recognized as P healer of bodily disease, but since the senior woman was the real head of the house, her illness was mentioned by way of explaining her absence. Marl; vividly records Jesus' response, "He came, took her by the hand, raised her up." At once the fever left her, and she busied herself with those du- ties which her illness had made for the time impossible. Convalescence from fever is usually very slow. But so great was the strength that Jesus was able to arouse that this woman went immediately to her work. Once more the God-filled spirit of Jesus proved to be the master. The Lews about the healed demon- _ and Simon's mother-in-law spread like wildfire throughout the city. To this new healer the sick wen. hur- ried in crowds-at sunset, when the Sabbath was past. It was considered a sin to carry a dead body through the streets on the Sabbath, but per- missible to carry a living person on a litter. Nevertheless it .5 probable that the people assumed that Jesus would be reluctant to heal on the Sabbath, or they themselves would consider it wrong. Therefore after sunset (v. 32) they brought their sick folk. With them came Iso the "demon-possessed.'] Mark's theory is that the demons, being supernatural, knew who and what Jesus really was. One Jesus always insisted on silence re- garding the cures, v. M. We can well believe that He shrank from the pub- licity which His healing ministry brought Him.

IH. THE SECRET or POWER, Mark 1:35. It does not help us any, either inl our u x'srstanding of Jesus, or in our l own efforts to live like Him, to be toldl that He was able to do all that iii) did simply because of His divinity. ‘If he could tap resources which are closed to us, then His oft-repeated ttlr. pool to follow Him becomes meaning. less and mocking words. Conventional Christianity is always tempted to place Jesus where it is easy to adore ‘Him, but impossible to .emul-tte Him. Verse 35 indicates the secret of Jesus' power. It was prayer. a secret discoverable by us, too. When Jesus was alone, He was always praying. Worn out by the exhausting events of the day, He was conscious of the need of spiritual reco by. Hence, when His tired disciples were asleep, He stole any to some solitary place to be alone with His Father. For exam- ple, see Luke 6: 12. Intimate and frequent communion with Ilis Father Jesus regarded as the secret of spirit- ual effectiveness. "Why could m - we cast Him out?" asked the puplexed and unsuccessful disciples, Matt. 17: 19. They had "followed the directions," but nothing had happened. This was Jesus' explanation: "This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Jesus, with no organizat'on or ma- t-rial equipment such as we possess today, brought healing to mind and bedy, and gave men a new spirit. To His disciples he said, "Greater works than these shall he do . . . John 14: 12. He would tever have said so if He had not meant it. When we, with His spirit, begin really to draw on our spiritual resources, our results will be “amazing,"_too.

How long will it take to get; the nitrogen out ot the loll that has been accumulated by these crops BO as not to give too heavy a growth to the tobacco plants? What analysis ot ter. tlllzers would you recommend and at what rate per acre? Would it be of much benefit to have my Boil anal- reed? Anirwer,--it would be impossible to give a definite answer regarding the period required for nitrogen exhaus- tion in the soil that you mention. This might be Judged by the growth of the legumes and other crops that followed in rotation it you an get any record ot this. it would be of distinct advantage e:) you to send samples ot this surface 8 in. soil and the next 12 in. to our laboratory. We will tind the amount of nitrogen in the soil, the organic ‘matter. the easily soluble phosphorus and the soil reaction. This will our able us to render you much more de- finite advice. Take about one pound sample of the soil at a depth ot about 3 to 6 inches. and another sample at a depth of about 8 to 10 inches. It your field is fairly uniform get a number of top soil samples and mix them, semrl ing us a quart ot the mixture. Do like. wise with the subsoils. The standing committee or tobacco fertilizers last spring recommended 600 to 700 lbs. per acre of 4-12-8, or 900 to 1000 lbs. per acre of 3-8-6. This fertilizer is best applied with a drill on either side ot the row. G. W.--Just how does sulphate ot potash act on the tobacco plant and what is the relationship between sul. phate and muriate? How much sul- phate ot potash would there be in a 3-10-5 fertilizer tor title tobacco? Answer.-Aetual experiments and measurements show that sulphate ot potash as a source ot potash in a ttue tobaceo fertilizer produes a leat which will burn with a clear whitish ash. When muriate of potash is used the ash is a darker colour and the burn ot the tobacco is not nearly so good. Jn other words the tobaco will continue to go out when ignited.

Webb, the architect, addressing the Royal So- ciety of Arts recently, poirted out another and little known reason. It was that Queen Victoria herself wasl responsible for the fact that no Lon. don building can at present be built higher than eighty feet to the top of the parapet. with two storeys in the roof in addition. One day the Queen was looking out of her window at Buckingham Palace when she saw that white-glazed brick structure, Queen Anne's Mansions.
