Some Suggestions That Will
Increase the Yield, of Eggs
(Continued from Tuesday.»
AFTER a pullet-is developed and has been brought up to a laying stage
she can easily be made to lay nearly every day. provided she is
supplied with all the necessary elements to complete an egg.
A hen that has been moved from one place to another where she can
not get her usual daily ration or is deprived of the necessary elements
to complete an egg each day will usually fall off laying until she becomes
accustomed to her new surroundings and can supply her system with suf
ficient materials to complete the egg that should be produced every day.
Eggs are usuallv formed in large clusters and a hen will lay a great many
before becoming broody if she has the right material, especially during
the time these eggs are being formed in her system. If the proper food
elements are supplied she will convert it into eggs in abundance, but un
less this is done, a hen will often fail to produce eggs and after a certain
stage the eggs often revert back to food for the system and are never
produced. If such is kept up long a hen will cease to be profitable and
often never be a great producer any more.
Therefore, it is very Important to know the contents of an egg and
furnish your hens with foods that contain a balance ration, but supply
them these materials separately so they can get them as their system de
mands and convert these feeds into eggs. But remember that this can
only be done by a W»n that has the necessary make-up and breeding behind
her and is capable of producing eggs. No ainount of good will make eggs
for hens that hare passed their usefulness out of condition to lay.
Seventr-flve per cent of an egg is composed of water, and they should
be supplied with pure, fresh water all the time, or fed a certain amoupt
of food that contains a lot of water. Another very important item is lime
to complete the shell after the egg has been fully matured. A hen cannot
produce an egg or will not so unless the shell is perfected, and if tha
food consumed bv vour hens does not contain a sufficient amount of lime
it should be supplied them in the form of crushed oyster shell, crushed
lime rock or bv feeding grain or mixed foods that are rich in lime-forming
elements. If one will notice a hen just after she comes off the nest they
will usually see her drink some water and then go to the feed hopper (if
a self-feeding hopper is sued) and eat a certain amount of materials that
her system demands. In doing this she is taking Into her system Imme
diately after producing an egg the necessary elements to complete the egg
the next dav. It is interesting to watch a hen select the different foods
ea» h dav when she has before her a variety suited to ’nature’s demands.
\ hen is simplv a machine, and if she has in her the right materials
and is supplied with the right kind of fuel she will convert It into eggs for
you that will show a profit over the cost of her keep, but how few of us
ever realize the importance of studying the poultry Industry and getting
at the real truth connected with profits and losses. Any one who keeps up
with the methods and records of the great egg-laying contests that are
being conducted In different parts of (he country will see the Importance of
•looking after these little details, and will find the keeping of poultry a
great study. And as the price of both poultry and eggs Is worth while look
ing after In this day and time we
must go into the mysteries of this
work deeper if we expect to get the ewC-o
best results. ■ " 1

Last week 1 told you tnat X was once
more on the job, didn’t I? Well, 1 did
not count on la grippa Thia is my
nrat lime out of oed and only yester
day did Dr. Walker succeed in breaking
tne fever.
But one’s "ailments" are interesting
to nobody on earth but the patient 1
hate to say so, but the good time
wasted, by men and women, in telling
the neighbors, or* suffering friends, all
tbey went through is positively sinful.
The Farmer xs busy in the garden.
Too sticky to barrow, so he is forking
in a paper of mustard seed and tur
nips in the loosest corner. This has
oeen a hard winter on man and beast.
The drought last year made fall plant*
ing late, and the almost incessant rains
of February made the pessimists draw
down the cornyrs of their mouths and
talk hard times, but I’ve yet to see one
stop whisky or tobacco while preaching
poverty.
“Honey, you can’t get your new sec
ond reader, papa hasn’t the money,”
And "papa’* had a new bot
tle of whisky that cost more than two
second readers. When reminded of the
fact be acted like he bad been Imposed
on. “But if I had bought the book
where would my whisky money liave |
come from?” Self first, last and al
ways. That's why seme of our southern
states stand sc. low in* the educational'
s tatistics.
There are a great many nice up-to- j
date people in this valley, but somehow'
it has been like oil and water Compul
sory education nor the anti-shipping law
are not a day too soon.
My scripture lesson for today is: “We
that are strong ought to bear the in- j
firm!ties of the weak, not to please our-1
selves.” And it has been proved by'
some of the family all of last week.
When the medicine began to come every 1
half hour it took one person’s time. Eva
was lovely, but from 8 till 4 school I
duties demanded her time. Laura was'
strong enough for breakfast and dinner,
but when Saturday came Important
business demanded the Farmer's pres
ence In town; he had not been there In a
month and there were bolts and nuts
and crossbars and seed for the oat
patch that had to be on hand today. Eva
had to see about school affairs, so
Harvej and Mamie lent me thelriflfteen
year-old daughter. She took hold like a
veteran, made a chart and ax'ted like a
trained nurse. It put me to thinking
-T»out some of the girls I know.' Their
mothers thought it too much trouble to
begin with them when they were tod
dling after them. Don’t overwork the
children, but don’t be too lazy to teach
them the things thAt you do.
In every family of at least flve their
is a certain amount of sickness, and
the “well one” will enloy helping give
medicine, holding the battle, or getting
a damp cloth for the patient, and then
when mother's time comes she has a
comforter right at hand. That is bet
ter than the story a father told me
about his headstrong girl. But T said
she Is only fourteen; you should make
her mind. ’“There is no power on earth
to do that,” he sadly answered, “she
has had her way too long.” So take
this lesson home. They a’re sw'eet and
winsome in their little determined
ways, but look to the future and teach
them the ten commandments. Let them
be well grounded and you will have
children to rise up and cal) you blessed.
And they will -be men and women of
honor and stability. You can not mea
sure one's worth by his money, all of
us know people who will do most any
, thing for a dime. The man who works
hard and keeps his family In comfort
usually has time to haul the widow a
load of wood, or plow her crop once.
• and these hre the sort that God looked
upon and found good. You know that
' there are some peovle who go all Over
the community lightening the burdens
of others who would be truer Chris
tians by staying at home and making
a crop. There is no Christlan
' ity in getting in dent, having the
family suffer while the father or moth-
I er has chased clear out of their beat
Ito sit up with some one. This habit
of sitting up iji more a social affair
> than actually necessary. As a general
I thing I mean. All of us know some peo
j pie that as soon as a member of the

to go. and the best in the pantry is
set out for them. Nurse your own sick
as long as you can.
This is not what I Had in my heart

BUTTEJt AJFD OLEOMABGAB.INE
As I was going to catch the trolley
car to Marietta, Go., a few days ago, I
glimpsed a lot of butter In a grocery
window marked 30 cents a pound. It
was beautifully prepared, as attractive
looking butter as you ever saw. As I
was paying 35 cents for plain country
butter in my town the butter arrested
my attention. As I examined closely
I saw the mark that is required by the
pure products law, which told me it
was margarine.
I did not buy that day but I aim
to give the margarine a test one of these
days.
In reading a late congressional record
there, was an Illuminating debate in the
senate on the respective value of real
butter and margarine, which interested
me very greatly. I find that margarine
in the north and west, especially in
mining camps and on ranches is a
staple article of food and is highly
praised It does not get rancid like
the fggular cow butter. It will keep
swaot much longer, and now, that the
price of butter has soared so high, the
difference In price Is a valuable item.
Thousands who cannot buy butter can
purchase the margarine, and to those
who like it there is only a trifle of dif
ference as to taste. Senator Wadsworth
of New York, said the following words:
“I have had some experience. In the
state of Florida upon one occasion hav
ing planned a trip I will say from the
haunts of civilization in a climate warm,
moist and soft. It was necessary to de
cide about our cooking, etc. We pur
chased oleomargarine Instead of butter
because it lasts longer in a hot climate
and is equally palatable. Many outfit
wagons carry constantly oleomargarine
rather than butter to the cowboys on
the ranches, who are the hardest work
ing men on the earth.’
The debate came about In a bill to
control the fraudulent sale of margarine
as pure butter, and I was surprised io
read about the high value placed on
margarine In other sections of the coun
try, where butter making is a valuable
product, running well the millions
of dollars.
HOW THE DOG WOW THE LAWSUIT.
A gentleman living in Canada had a
fine collie dog that he rated at 31.000.
Having business in New York, he
brought over the dog and left him with
a friend, as it is difficult to / lodge dogs
in fine hotels.
Being in a strange place, the collie
either escaped or was stolen. The po
lice traced the dog to a man’s house In
the Sronx and the house owner refused
to give up the dog. (
A court trialgthen came on. one party
claiming the dog and the other party
refusing to tell where He got the collie.
The man who raised the deg, and his
friend who failed to hold him in his
stable, were very indignant, and finally
the three men were lined up and the
court sent for the' dog.
At first the collie licked the shoes
of the man who found him. and seemed
to show pleasure by shaking his bushy
tail.'
Suddenly he espied his old master
and stood erect as if thinking. Mr. Fox.
the owner, called out “Come here. Dan!
With one bound the dog cleared twelve
feet of space between himself and his
owner, flung himself against his aide,
sent his hat and epeetacles spinning,
and with low growls of contentment and
happiness, he snuggled hls head under
.the hand that patted him.
The judge said, “I guess there is no
further question as to who owns him.”
So Dan found his beloved master.
I once had sueh a collie. His grand
parents carrte from Canada, and he was
the finest dog ever known in our family.
His attachment to me was simply pa
thetic. When I would enter the house 1
his joy knew no bounds. If I had on |
a white dress It soon had footprints all |
over It. T never saw such a knowing
dog.
He was dreadfully afraid of thunder j
and lightning. If he could put his head
under my apron and shut his eyes, he
would be still, unless for trembling. If:
I did not allow him to stay near me he |

FOR a moment Howard Boyd’s kind
ness overwhelmed me. I had not
expected it. For I could not deny
that I had treated him unfairly. From
the first, when he had met me, he had
shown me a deeper and more sincere
regard than the other young men of his
set. It was I who had deceived him.
His chum, June White, had seen me and
been attracted to me. He had asked
me to theaters and parties. And I with
out telling Howard of his Invitations had
accepted them. At last June and I had
been caught in a net of our own duplici
ty. Howard, calling for nte one evening
while June was still in my home, had
seen through the curtains of my front
door the shadow of our embrace. He had
not protested. He was too much of a
man to reproach me. But I realized
when I saw his face that 1 had really
hurt him. There on my own doorstep
he had turned away from me, and from
that day to this, when I had encountered
him on the street, I had not seen him.
Meanwhle life had been teaching me
many things. I could be grateful now,
that my eyes once more met Howard
Boyd’s, that I had taken the lesson to
heart. I hod learned the true worth of
June White and discarded him forever.
And 1 had found my own dignity and
self-respect through the labors with
which I now supported myself.
“Di!” exclaimed Howard, "what in the
world have you been doing to yourself?”
I think he saw almost at or.e glance
that my clothes were shabby and my hat
very worn. It went to my heart that
Howard saw these things, yet he drew
closer to me. I smiled at him as best
I could.
“I am a wage earner these days,” 1
told Howard, and my voice quivered as
I spoke.
“What do you mean?” Howard asked
quickly.
“I couldn’t stand it at home any long
er,” I explained. ”1 mean things were
too easy for me. 1 was doing things I
ought not to do, and it mqde me asham
ed. But I couldn’t seem to break away
from it. Why, Howard, I was going out
some place nearly every night; parties
and all sorts of things. I wasn’t earning
any money, and I was taking presents
from nearly all the men I knew. I tried
to stop it and couldn't. It seemed best
to me to wipe the slate clean. So I
packed my bag and left home, and—here
I am.” I tried to laugh lightly. “By
working nights,” I said, i“I manage t o
make about sl2 a week. I have found
out I am not worth much, Howard. The
best I can do is to address envelopes
for an insurance company.”
“Address envelopes for an insurance
company,” exclaimed Howard, blankly.
“Why, Di, you can’t get enough money
for that even to eat properly!”
“Oh, yes I do!” I told him. “I just
had my dinner, and I am going home
now to do some extra work because I
want the money for clothes.”
Howard laid his hand gently on my
arm.
'"Cut the work out for an hour, DI,”
he suggested, “and go for a little drive
with me. The air will do you good;
you will •work all the better for it after
ward.”
I hesitated a moment. With Howard
I knew the old life of parties and motor
rides might still hold some lure for me. I
I liked the boy enormously. He was
showing me now a sympathy in loneli
ness that was very sweet. Yet I also
knew that his stratum in society was
financially at least above mine. His peo
ple were rich. Howard, barely out of
college, had never earned a cent in his
life. He was young. I was attractive
to him. A marriage between us his peo
ple would regard as a mesalliance. What
then could come of a resumption of our
friendship? Well —for the moment it
would have to remain on the knees of
the gods. Certainly Howard’s suggestion
for a brief outing with him was too
tempting to refuse. Fifteen minutes
after I had met him we were seated
together in a taxi, the top of which
had been lowered. The air was cool on
my face. And gradually the sense of
Howard's companionship made me feel
peaceful and at rest. We talked of many
things; of my changed life, and of How
ard’s days which had, gone on much as
usual.
Almost at once I began to feel there
never had been a parting between us.
There was only one change. Howard no
longer put his hand over mine, nor
slipped his arm about my waist while
talked. The explanation came just be
fore he left me at my door.
“Di,” said Howard, “may I come and
see you some times? I would like to be
friends with you awfully. And I want
to tell you that. I haven’t kissed you to
night, not because I didn’t want to just
as much as ever, but something, your
work or the way you have been living,
has made you awfully sweet. You are a
lot dearer than you used to be. Di. You
are a ‘regular girl’ now. And a chap
like myself don’t kiss Tegular girls’; he
has too much respect for them.”
I felt that the handcldsp Howard
gave men in parting was a sort of honor
badge sign of what I had become. I had
worked for it. I’d earned it. My eye
lashes were wet with tears of happiness
as I turned away and walked up my
own front stoop.

THERE followed, after my chance
meeting with Howard, the grad
ual growth of a simple, happy
girl and boy companionship between us
His attitude toward me, since he had
learned of my work, had entirely chang
ed. In the old days our evenings to
gether had been hectic. He had called for
me at my mother s home, taken me at
once to some restaurant or hotel, and
there we would dine and dance until all
hours. The theaters we frequented were
of the glittering, musical comedy va
riety. We seldom reached home before
3 or -4 o'clock in the morning. Now
this had all changed. To begin with. I
had to be at my desk in the insurance
company by half past eight in the morn
ing. If I were to be fresh for my work
the next day it meant retiring before
eleven o’clock. Therefore, when Howard
took me to theater now he would not al
low me to have supper afterwards ft
kept me up too late. Also we were seeing
some of the really well written and well
acted dramas.
We fell into away. too, of spending
less money than we had previously. I :
don’t know whether Howard reasoned U .
out himself or not, but I think that he
intended this as a sort of pledge of
his greater respect for me. It woula I
have seemed foolish to spend $lO or sl’»
for orchids as he often had done be-.
fore, when now what I really needed was.
a new suit or a pair of shoes. We were j
way past the point where Howard would '
have dared to suggest buying clothing
for me. He would have hurt me cruelly
had he done so.
Indeed, although 1 scarcely realized
it myself, my feelings for Howard were
deepening beyond friendship. Nor did 11
dare to look very closely at my own,
heart. I would still have told myself,
that marriage between Howard and my-j
self was impossible. I knew, of course. I
that he had no earning capacity of his
own. Certainly his people, who were!
very rich, could' not be expected to take j
me into their household and care for me. i
Probably, I told myself, Howard s mother |
and father would wish him to marryj
some wealthy girl of his own class. .
Yet 1 may say now, in perfect frank- |
ness, that Howard’s money no longer |
matiereed to me In the slightest. I was
glad to go for a motor ride, or to the I
theater with him, although I would have I
been equally content to walk in the.
park, arm in arm, or to sit through the j
evening beside him in some moving pic-j
ture house. Just at this time I was, i
as a matter of fact, only drifting. I!
realized I cared for Howard more than
I should. But I cared too much to let
him go. I did not dream that his feel
ings for me were anything other than
those of a friend. Also I half realized
that if this were true and Howard
did not love m«», somewhere in the fu
ture was a very bitter heartache for
me.
I told myself that it did not matter.
Anj r price I might pay for these days of
happiness would not be too much. Then
ca*ie the awakening.
Howard and I were walking home after
dinner. hand was on his arm for
actual support. I was dead tired. The,
day at the office had beeq hard. And |
for five nights before I had been work
ing until almost 1 o’clock in the morn
ing to earn some extra money for cloth
ing, the need of which had become im
perative. Probably I never looked plain
er in all my life. My eyes were cir
cled. The color was utterly out of my
lips and cheeks. indeed I had sat
through dinner with Howard almost
dumb. I was too tired to laugh or joke.
Bwt apparently Howard had not noticed
my fatigue. He had gone on talking
of this and of that. Only through a sort
of extra solicitude over what I ate, and
whether or not my chair was comforta
ble, could I guess that he knew how I I
really felt. Now we were walking home. |
But still he had not said one word In pity
or sympathy. He helped me up my
front stoop. Then I turned and held
front door. Then I turned and heeld
out my hand —
“I am much too tired to ask you In
tonight, Howard,” I said. ”1 am afraid
I am not very jolly company, anyway.
I’ll rest up a little and you can come and
see me soon again; In a day or two.”
For a moment Howard did not speak.
His eyes grew wide and very soft, as
he looked at me. His voice was low and
trembled a little when he spoke.
“Di,” he murmured. “I am not going
to be able to stand this much longer,
dear! Oh, sweetheart, how tired you
look!”
I don’t know whether or not I an
swered Howard at all. I do know my
lips quivered childishly. Tears of utter
weariness gathered in my eyes. It
wasn’t for effect. I couldn't help it.
In another instant I felt Howard’s
arni around me and he had kissed me.
What could I do but cling to him?
“Dear,” I heard him whisper, “Oh,
my dear- —!”
No. 81 —Dawn of a New
Life
e- No one has ever paid too big a ♦
♦ price for real love. -a-
HOWARD’S words had been like a
key in a golden door. Suddenly
my heart seemed flooded with sun
shine. 1 couldn’t but know that he lov
ed me. Since 1 loved him. I could not
but be glad. Away at the back of my
mind, had 1 dared to look at them, were
forebodings aplenty. What this love
of ours could bring is, I could not
guess. Unhappiness for me seemed al
most certain. I could not imagine that
Howard's people would permit him to
marry me without strong protest. As
a matter of fact my affection for this
sweetheart of mine was sufficiently un
selfish to impel me to give him up at
whatever cost to myself if it were to
prove that such a course were better
for him. But at the moment when his
lips touched mine, I only knew that
something very beautiful had happen
ed. I loved him. He loved me.' It
seemed enough.
Certainly we must have been in the
clouds on that first night of the realiza
tion of our affection for each other.
Howard did not even tell me that he
loved me. He kissed me and left me.
I went upstairs to my humble little room
in a sort of rosy dream. I remember
staging at the reflection of my face in
my mirror for a long while. I don't
know why I did It. I think I looked to
see some startling change In my own ex
pression, now that this thing had bloom
ed in my heart.
But next night Howard was waiting |
for me in the hall, down stairs, of our |
office building. He came to me at once |
when I stepped from the elevator. I ■
thought the expression of his faee seem-1
ed very grave; although there came a
light in his eyes at sight of me. I |
called a good night to several of the |
girls who were lingering in the hall.;
Then Howard and I fell into step to- !
gether as we reached the street. I 1
raised my eyes to his face a little shyly. [
He loked down on me and smiled.
•'Well, DI,” he said, “I guess we are '
In for it! I went straight home last i
night and told dad we were going to be
married.” At this I caught my breatn.
But Howard went steadily on. “You
might as well know first as last,” ne
continued, “that the old man didn’t seem ■
particularly delighted at the prospect. ’
He told me if I was going to have a wife!
I’d better take care of her myself. As j
a matter of fact, sweetheart, I am afraid i
you have let yourself in for a very bad j
bargain. It may be several years be
fore I can earn enough to take care of
you, and give you the things you ought '
to have.”
I managed to slip my hand into How
ard’s as we walked along. 1 gavj his
fingers a little squeeze. I
“I wouldn’t care if you never earned :
a cent as long as you live,” I told him. 1
“I have been poor now for a good, long
while. I don’t mind it,” I laughed a lit- (
tie shakily. “As a matter of fact. I
rather like it,” I said. "It’s good for ;
me. But I care for you so much How- i
ard that I wouldn’t want to do one thing !
that is bad for you. If your father is 1
angry, and you think it is better to give
me up, I won’t say one word to keep
you.”
Howard's voice was low. but very;
steady, when he answered.
‘Look here. Di," he said, “my love for j
you is the only thing that matters to I
me in this whole, wide world. Whether j
dad stays angry at us or not doesn’t >
matter. Some day he w-111 know that he j
wouldn’t think vet;y much of me. if I
gave you up, any more than he would i
have had his own self respect if some- !
body had made him give up mother. No ■
sir! We’ll fight It out, Di,- if you don’t
mind. It’s high time I went to worx,
anyway. And it isn’t as though I were
just working for money, sweetheart! I'll
be working for you. too. That’s what
makes a chap willing to do anything
You will stick by me. though, won’t
you ?’’ :
’To the other side of beyond,” I an
swered.
I meant it.

March 4th, 1917
John 6:1-14.
GOIZDEN TEXT: “Give us thia day our
daily bread.” Matt. 6:11.
DB. MARIOX McH. HULL
|
I John makes a big pump again in
j point of time and brings us down to a
; year later, just before the third Pass
! over of our Lord’s ministry, at the
| close of nearly two years of public
j life. Shortly before this Jesus had sent
i the apostles on ahead of Him on a
third tour through Galilee. They had
, accomplished such marvelous works that
i news of their Master reached the ears
| of Herod who* had been responsible
for John’s death. His guilty conscience
pricked him and he declared that tills
was none else than John raised from
the* dead. About this time the apostles
returned, and, in order to have a little
time for rest (for the people thronged
about Jesus so that He had neither
time to eat nor sleep). He took them
i in the boat and carried them across
the lake to its northeast corner not
only that they might have a brief
season for rest, but also that He
might withdraw them from the terri
tory of Herod.
The people, however, did not give
Him time for rest, for by the time the
j boat reached the shore, multitudes had
gone around the northern end of the
lake some three or four miles, and fol
lowed Him and His disciples up to the
mountain side. They were joined by
numbers of others moving In caravans
on their way to the Passover, each one
desiring some blessing at His hand. As
He turned and looked upon this great
multitude He had compassion on them,
for they were as sheep having no shep
herd; and instead of taking the much
needed rest, He healed those which
were sick and taught the people all day
long.
THE TEST OF CHARACTER
Evening was now drawing on and all were
1 weary and hungry. His disciples came to Him
I —they were merely human; we must not blame
them—and urged Him to send the people away
•hat they might go into the surrounding vil
lages and buy food. J etv. knew what He was
going to do, but tn order to Tejt character. He
asked Philip. ' When shall we buy bread that
thee might eat?” Now I’bilip yas a shrewd
business man. The ifttle lines that we have on
him show that he was apt to scorn the ex
pectations of faith. He had splendid qualities!
It did not take him long to calculate that all
that they could secure amongst themselves was
$25, that that would buy a certain quantity of
bread and that that quantity of bread distribu
ted amongst this multitude would give each
one of them a bite. The trouble with Philip
was thm he took no account of the resources
of Jesus. What Jesus wanted him to say was,
"Master, we have $35. That is not enough by
itself, bat with Thee it will be enough." But
Philip missed his opportunity..
How many of us must rid ourselves of the de
fect of our good qualities? Don’t you know some
ousiness man whose judgment on a purely busi
ness proposition is almost faultless, but who
nas so little faltb that he takes no account of
the resources of Jesus when it comes to a spir
itual proposition? He must rjd himself of
the defect of good business judgment before he
can appreciate what faith in Jeeus will bring.
There are men today wuo are absolutely moral
ind upright, whose lives from a world standpoint
are exemplary, but they must rid themselves of
that defect before they can be saved. They
have got to come to Jeeus like the most guilty
sinner and ask for pardon. Good qualities,
therefore, are all right in their place, but we
must not let them stand between us and Christ.
Just about that time Andrew—he was emi
nently practical always--came vp an l " said,
"There is a lad here teat has brought a lunch
with him. He has five pieces of bread
sardines.” There was just a little bit of ex
pectation in Andrew. Here la something, he
said but then when he looked at the crowd and
away from Jesus he added, “What is that amouj
sc many?” . ■
Jesus had instructed His disciples to make
the people sit down on the grass in companies
of fifty. In that way ’they could be easily
served. The number was in the neighborhood
of 15,400, for there were 5,000 men besides the
women and children, and on an occasion of this
kind when they were on their way to the pass
over, whole families went. It is reasonable to
supppose therefore that there were at least
twice as many women and children as there
were men.
Then Jesus lifted up His eyes to heaven and
prayed* No. He offered thanks, and then He
began to break the bread into pieces and to dis
tribute the fish. It took some faith on the part
of the disciples to start out with this little bit.
but they were willing to obey, and because
they were they had the joy of service, for as
they carried the broken pieces of bread and of
meat to the companies, they saw with satisfac
ticn that each one was being fed and filled.
That they sat down was an evidence of ths
fact that they got a full meal. It was not
jvst s snack standing, but a full meal sitting
down. • . .
I like to think of that lad who had the
lunch. Can y u not see ids eyes getting big
ger and bigger, as he saw that little luncn
of his becoming sufficient for this great mule
utude? ,And i wm guarantee tuai he an
more than five biscuits and two fishes. It
wah not .nu'-‘!i of & lunch tbst be bnxight
with him to satisfy a hungry boy. It Is more
than likely that his litti" insides bulged with
fifteen, oarlev loaves and ten fishes!
I also like to flilnk of the smile on Jesus
face as He saw with satisfaction the peop’c
bling fed to the full. Possibly He gave some
extra piec.ts to some of the children as they
ran up to Him. At any rate, He was made
joyfiil in seeing the others having their needs
supplied.
THE JOY OF SERVICE.
When every one had as much as they co'uM
eat and refused any more because they wild
| not eat It. TI? told His disciples to gather up
‘ the fragrm nts that nettling be lost. Now
1 these fragm nts were not the serai* left by
I the people, but they were the pieces wbk-n
I He had continueii to break, but which they
■ had not used. And wbeu they gathered them
1 up there were twelve baskets full, one bas
ketful for each of the disciples for- the nect
I day’s meals. And they still had their $35.
| not a penny had been sptnt.
This is the only miracle which is recorded
|by all four evangelists. There must be some,-
I thing, significant in this fact; and there is,
for truly It was a revelation of Himself as
the Son of 'Sod, for who else than the Son ot
i God could h ive taken the lad’s lunch an I
1 made it suffice for 15,000 people, and then
i bad twelve basketsful over?
I There are one or two other things, however,
which He reveals in this. That He prevents
!as well as ieals. He had furnished healing
■ to the sick' bodies of these people dnring that
day, but now by giving them food He prevents
! sickness coming into their lives, for stam-
I t'on bv lowering resistance, is one of the most
' prolific causes of disease. Then He gave the
i same food to all. There were Pharisees high
' in office and authority: there were the humb-
I lest peasants: but each one had the same.
Perhaps one of the most precious lessons
J out of it nJ is the part the disciples played
!in it. God is waiting to give you just the
saifle jov tnat He gave them that day if von
i will obey Him. You may think it is impos
sible with rhe infinitesimal resource* that you
i tiave to accomplish anything, but if you will
’ place them at His disposal and then obey
everv impulse which H* gives you. you will
find' them r.,ultiplying in your hands so that
I they will suffice for the needs of those about
I you. Give Jesuw all that you have that He
i may gi T * Tf> n all that He has.
Ontario Women Seem
Certain of the Ballot
TORONTO, Feb. 28.—The women of
: Ontario were virtually assured the
right to vote when the government,
‘ through Premier Hearst, last night en
-1 dorsed the bill of J. W. Johnson pro
i vidlng for equal • suffrage.
; The premier said the government
' would thy to devise some plan under
i which women might vote at the next
' general provincial election.
I The opposition already has announc
ed itself favorable to equal suffrage
! and now that the government has fal-
I len into line the measure is expected
; to pass the legislature virtually without
opposition. .
“Having taken our women iqto part
nership with us in * our tremendous
task.” said Premier Hearst, in announc
ing »the government’s decision. “I ask
can we justly deny them a share in
the government of the country, the
; right to have a say about the making
of the laws they have been so heroically
trying to defend? My answer is, I think
not.”
