■ it largely because of its attractive

■And a Shetland certainly is a shape-

1 of attention when in the hands df a
master or mistress that when young
’ gave his or her pony food and water,
! brushing and combing; also considera
tion as to weight of burden, distance
to travel, conditions of road and
weather. Undoubtedly a pony is a
great educator for a young person.
One authority states that the proper
way to select a pony for a small child
is to get one from six to eighteen
months of age and let it grow up with
its master or mistress. At the latter
age it may be broken to the saddle
and ridden by a child of light weight.
When omy a year old it may be driven
moderately to a cart or buggy. A
pony is easily broken to harness, the
process can be shared in by the child.
The Shetland may be broken by be
ing played with, by the children jump
ing on its back, by their hitching it to
a sled or cart. Dr. S. B. Eliot of the
Belle Meade farm, Markham, Va.,
says: “If a young pony is given to
a little child, they will grow up to
gether and become the best of friends,
each acquiring confidence to the ex
tent that the breaking to saddle and
harness is hardly noticed by either.”
In its native land, the pony is
known as “The Sheltie.” At the age
of two “The Sheltie” is considered
grown-up, but this earlj’ maturity does
not mean early decay, for a Shetland
not only has much endurance, but, too,
is noted for its length of days, living
to be 30 and 40 years old.
A colt ready to leave its mother can
be purchased for from SSO to SBO.
the continual commingling of these is
less effective than if by a gradual ac
cumulation the characters of a few
families are centered in the bull.
Masculinity, with which is associat
ed sexual vigor and general health, is
1 a quality quickly recognized, but diffi
cult to define.
NOTICE TREES THAT
ARE SMALL BEARERS
Highly Desirable That Grower
Should Become Familiar With
All Trees in Orchard.
; Notice the fruit trees carefully. See
which tree bears heavily, ripens on
time and matures a high-grade of
fruit. Notice the trees that are shy
bearers, the tender trees susceptible
to disease and Insect injury.
It is highly desirable that the fruit
grower become thoroughly familiar
with the tendencies of the various
trees so he will know how to treat
them. Trees are much like animals.
, A person can always get better re
sults with animals if he understands
their peculiarities.
Furthermore one always wants to
know the good trees and the poor
trees. The poor will need be replaced
as soon as practical. The desirable
, trees bearing large crops of hlghly-de
sirable fruits may be reproduced.
Propagation should be from the best.

WHl^^rOSpel

Director of the Practical Work Course,
Moody Bible Institute. Chicago
TEXT—So as much as In me Is I am
ready to preach the Gospel to you that
are at Rome also.—Rom. 1:16.
The Greek term which the word
ready translates, does not have in it
so much the idea
of preparedness
as it does eager
ness. It gives us
a picture of the
apostle standing
as it were on tip
toe facing the im
perial city, his
countenance ex
pressing the pas
sion of his heart
to preach the Gos
pel to the people
of that city.
I can imagine
as the apostle
stands like a
hound at leash,
eager to be off, someone tugging at
his cloak and saying, “Don’t go to
Rome, Paul, to preach the Gospel of
the cross. They will laugh your story
to scorn. Rome, remember, was the
home of Cicero, and his orations are
still studied there, an/i Seneca is dis
coursing in the streets. Go to them,
Paul, with a little sociology, religious
pathology and ethical culture, but not
with the word of the cross.” And
Paul answers back: “I am not ashamed
of the Gospel of Christ, for It is the
power of God unto salvation to every
one that belleveth, to the Jew first and
also to the Greek.”
There are people today who tell us
that the Gospel of the cross doesn’t
meet the modern mind. Well, I may
know little of the modern mind, but
I do know a great deal about the
modern heart, and one thing is this,
that it is still “deceitful above all
things and desperately wicked,” and,
thank God, I know what can meet its
needs and that is the cross of Christ.
The trouble, friends, is not with our
heads but with our hearts; let them
be cleansed by the blood of Christ and
the modern mind has no difficulty in
understanding the story of the cross.
Problems there may be, but the heart
that knows the cleansing power of the
blood clings in simple faith to the
Cross of Christ.
Then there are those who say that
the Cr.oss of Christ does not meet the
problem of today. What problems are
there today that wete not the prob
lems of yesterday? What about the
moral corruption of the times? Is it
any worse than it was in Paul’s day?
When the apostle was eager to go to
Rome, lecherous, reprobate Nero, who
had sunk almost to the nethermost
hell, was on the throne. Yet Paul was
not desirous of going to Rome with
a moral mud scow, but with the Gos
pel of Christ. He knew what some
moderns do not know, that reforma
tion follows regeneration, and so he
was eager to preach in that corrupt
city the Gospel of the cross. What
a lesson to some would-be preachers
of today who, not knowing the power
of the Gospel to regenerate society,
are trying with their puny scoops to
cleanse the cesspools of iniquity, when
they have at their command the dyna
mite of God. We might just as well
try to batter down a fortress with a
popgun and toy pistol as to attempt to
overcome the forces of evil in the
world by any moral reformation which
leaves out the cross of Christ.
But what about a world immersed in
pleasure? Will the Gospel reach such
a world? As Paul stood facing Rome,
mad with pleasure, he said, “I am
ready to preach the Gospel to you that
are at Rome also.” And yet the city
was almost altogether given, over to
pleasure. During the reign of Claudi
us, who preceded Nero on the chrone.
the gladiatorial games became almost
an insane frenzy and in Nero's time,
as we know, it was no better. Paul,
however, was eager to go there with
the Gospel. It is a great challenge
that the pleasure-loving world gives
the preachers of today. How shall
they meet it? Slmll they, In extrem
ity, try something else besides the
Gospel, or is the Gospel still the pow
er of God unto salvation, even unto a
pleasure-loving world? One of the
saddest sights to behold is a ministry
that has abandoned the Gospel and
substituted in the place a sociological
shovel and a pathological plaster. If
hell ever laughs it laughs at such a
substitution, for It knows that make
shift:; will never meet the world’s
need and defeat hell.
Come on, preachers, the world chal
lenges us, let us meet the challenge
with Paul’s “I am ready to preach the
Gospel.” What Gospel? Why, the
Gospel of the cross, of course, for
there is none other. And with Paul
let us say, no matter what the world
may say, we are not ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ. Why not ashamed?
“Because it is the dynamite of God.”
That means it has in itself the power
to do business for God. No wonder
Paul, facing intellectual, corrupt,
pleasure-loving Rome, said, “I am
ready, I am not ashamed to preach the
Gospel to you thtit are at Rome also."

CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK, UGH!
ITS MEM MD SALM
Straighten Up! Don’t Lose a Day’s Work! Clean Your Sluggish
Liver and Bowels With “Dodson’s Liver Tone.”
Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. Take

day’s work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile crashes into it, break

awful nausea and cramping. If you
feel sluggish and “all knocked out,” if
your liver is torpid and bowels consti

stomach sour, just try a spoonful of
harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store or dealer and get a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone. Take

WASTE INVOLVED IN ILLNESS
Serious Matter to Which Far Too Lit
tle Attention Has Been Given
by the Country.
A spectacular event often attracts
public attention, while routine matters
of larger magnitude go unnoticed. For
instance, the whole country was re
cently acutely conscious of a question
of wages amounting to $50,000,000. It
was an important question and the
sum involved was vast.
But take another question involving
wages—the question of the illness of
workers. Public health bulletin No.
76 pf the public health service of the
United States estimates on the basis
of inquiries here and abroad that the
average industrial worker loses about
nine days a year on account of illness.
This amounts to a loss to the .work
ers of the country, it is estimated, of
$800,000,000 a year. If by better sani
itation and safety devices the time '
could be reduced one-half, there would
be a saving of $400,000,000. Yet it is
exceedingly difficult for health authori
ties to arouse interest in the question,
simply because it concerns everyday
matters that lacks the excitement of
a threatened tie-up of transportation.
