Nearly every verse of the 37th
Psalm is crowded with sound sense
and good cheer. 1t will bear frequent
reat.ing and honest needing in liie's
petty annoyances.
Fret not thyself." Evildoers there
are about us. Let not yourselves
down to worry over them.
Evil forms within itself a poison,
which in time will prove its own de-
struction.
Rest in the Lord" Be patient
when he is at work, knowing full well
that he can bring to pass what he
undertakes.
EVIL men may prosper for a time
They may heap up riches. But Goi
will take their deserted gains and
make them the Inheritance of the
meek.
To say that the former days are bet
ter than the present is to discount
Gods influence on earth and to cast
discredit upon his faithful colaborers.
How easy it Is to pick flaws! So
natural is it that some people create

a little, narrow, uncomfortable world,
fit only fer those who enjoy misery.

possibly discover any progress any.

Home-Made Gnrden Tools.

Here are some ingenious little home
made contrivances for the garden sent
in by readers who devised them and
used them in their own gardening.
A Simple Lawn Sprinkler-A spadinG
fork stuck securely into the ground and
the nozzle of the hose put through the
handle of the fork makes a good stub
stitute for a lawn sprinkler.
An Easy Wedding Devlce-If seed
beds are too wide to be easily weeded
from the sides get an inch board eight
inches wide. and long enough to reach
across the bed from path to path. This
should be set up or end cleats made
high enough TO raise IL above the young
plants. Then saw a small box frOU
corner to corner. diagOnally, putting g
three-inch cleat under the bottom front
end. This, placed upon the board
makes a comfortable high-backed chair,
from which one can weed on either
side without injuring the plants With
ones clothes.
An Oyster Can For Weeds-To re
move tiny weeds and loosen the sol
about rose bushes without injury tt
the rootlets. use an oyster can, resting
the bottom against the palm of one
hand and working with the sharp, cir.
cular. open mouth of the can.
\ Handy Little Sieve-This is made
from an ordinary cigar box. The bot
tom is taken out and in its place wire
window screening stretched, the edges
of which are doubled over and tackled
on to the sides Of the frame close tc
the bottom. For sitting the top soil for
a small seed bed or box as well as COW
erlng the seed, 1t Is invaluable.
Pancake Turner For Weeds-One
of the best wedding tools is small
stiff pancake turner. 1t slips easily un
der plants and cuts the roots of the
small. fine weeds.
\ Use For Old Bottles-For covering
rose or other cuttings take large bot
ties. Saturate a woOlen string with
kerosene and tie il where you wish the
small neck of the bottle broken off; ap-
ply match and II will break of
smoothly. These are also excellent for
covering a delicate plant when first
planted Hellotropes have been saved
In this way when they were almost
dead.
