A day later she deposited another egg in the same spot. Court employees turned their backs on the anti- pigeon drive and provided a makeshift nest. The judge even issued an order threatening con- tempt action against anyone who disturbed the nest. When two little squabs, right, appear- ed ore morning, they were promptly dubbed "Habeas" and "Corpus."

He had jufit got nicely launched iato a aales' talk on modern farm- ing machinery when the farmer kcid up his hand. He pointed down tbe field to where a row of open doors in a long implement^hed di- Tslged a couple of tractors, a one- -way cultivator, a combine and other kindred faim machinee. The salesman was dumbfounded. Taking off his hat to scratch his head, he exclaimed incredulously: "Well, what are you nsing this 'ball for?"

Bat unless I happen to look out at exactly the right minute I won't know whether John comes in or not. That is what the wind does to a farming area. The men here are nalfnay through seeding. Probably they would have been finished except for being hindered first by rain and then a breakdown with the tractor. I shall be glad when they are through â€" all these rush jobs sort of keep everyone on edfte. Lost time during seeding â€" even only half a day â€" can make a lot of dif- ference to the growth and harves- ting of a crop.

Yes, there is plenty of op- portunity to see thrills and spill* on a one-hour drive along our high- ways. And yet, just the day before, we had been out looking at a car with the idea of making a purchase. -\s it happened the man who wanted to sell the car was away but came home while we were waiting. He came along the road driv ng at seventy or seventy five m.p.h. â€" with the "rad" boiling like a tea- kettle. Needless to say we didn't want that car!

Our little hah'-ton pick-up is the hand est thing to have around on the farm, but it is a long way trorn being a pleasure car.

Otherwise I don't mind â€" I never have been over-burdened with false pride. On our way home from I'oronto we ciinie through one of those new housing surveys wher. a frienti of ours is waiting for his new home to be completed. I suppose mo?: of the houses that we saw were aronnd nine or ten thousand dollars and a« we looked them over I womK-red ho A many of them would still be standing by the time tliey â- .-.ere paid for! Of course, they will have all the latest, built-in stream-lined conveniences which is what attracts people today â€" and one couldn't ask for anything nicer â€" if they are built t.i last. 1 wonder ... For my part I would sooner have an older house in a more settled area and fi^ it up to suit myself. But it is a good thing we are not all alike or there would be little expansion or pro- gress in this world. Speaking of houses reminds me of the modern way of moving which I heard about only recently. Keigh- bours of ours are moving down to Montreal. I imagined them having an awful time packing and crating, ready for the job. To my surprise I learnt that the movers do it all and unless they do the packing themselves they will not accept responsibility for loss or breakage in transit. It seemed so strange to go ito a house, knowing the people were moving out and see everything •til! in place, except the curtains! New Gadgets and Inventions You'll Probably Be Seeing ELECTRIC RAZOR.

"Build- A-Plan," model home kit, enables 001 LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren •WATCHING AND PRAYING IN GETHSEMANE [•>.. -4I*!*,; Mark 14:32-42 Golden Text: â€" Watch ye and pray. ;est ye enter into temptation. T'ne spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:J8. I "Gethsemane" will always be re- I menibered as the place of great agony of Jesus. Here bore upon Him the full realization of His mission. It was not the prospect of death that brought the bloody •V. ,-at to His brow, but the bearing of : ie sins of men. In this hour when He cravtxl and needed human sympathy most, his disciples fell asleep. He asked them to watch and pray, but three limes He re- turned to find them sleeping. Said He, "The spirit truly is ready, buT tbe fle.'h is weak." Je-'us knew the truth of that sta.enient in His own experience. Ax fir-t He prayed. "O, My Father, if it ije possible. let this cup pass from .Me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt." Here was a humati shrinking from the bitter cuiJ. The second time He prayed, "O, My Father, if this cup may not pass away from .Me. except I drink it. Thy will be done." Here is e.xemplified t'le triumph of the spirit over the flesh. .\t no time was there rebellion to God's will, but the flesh was weak. Later, angels ministered unto Him. When Jfsif^* faced this great crisis. He prayed earnestly. He gained strengtii for the trying hours of the morrow. If we would have poise and calm in life's strug- gles, we must learn to pray until we -lave found strength in God. We cannot think of Gethsemane without feeling a deep gratitude to Jesus Christ Who suffered so for us. He alone is our Saviour. "It was alone the Saviour prayed In dark Gethsemane. Alone He drained the bitter cup .^nd suffered there for me. Chorus : • -Mone. alone. He bore it all alone; He gave Himself to save His own. He suffered, bled, and died alone.
