APRIL SECOND.
The Making Of Christian; His Fe4
-Iohn 6. 47-58: 2 Tim. 3. 14-17.


John 6. 47-Ss; 2 Tim. 8. 14-17.
This lesson is a part Of one Of t
pubic discourses Of Jesus. In the ii
fou- verses Jesus shows that what tn
mama was to the fathers who receiv-
ed it by eating, himself is to all souls
who receive him by faith. Mamma was
temporal life to the .Israelites; he u
eternal life to all believers. In the
next two verses he goes /, ,ep farther
and Identifies the bread with his
flesh. Then in the Natter part OF our
lesson he adds his blood. The evil
dent meaning is that whoever receives
Christ by faith becomes q partaker
of the body and blood Of Christ; that
is, he receives eternal life and the
benefits of the resurrection. In
Timothy we have the same thought
presented under the figure OF the
Word. We are to feed upon Christ
and his Word. In other words, our
food is spiritual food received Dy
prayer and Bible study. They are
able to make wise unto salvation.
The soul must be fed as well as the
body. The results of starvation Is as
apparent in the religious life as IN
the physical. Weak, fabby, apd lean
souls are as possible, and indeed
more common, than lean bodies. As
a rule. we care for the body better
than the soul. We can no more build
up a strong spiritual life without sogl
food than we can be strong physically
without material food. The making
of a Christian depends largely on
what he eats. Our scripture suggests
That he eat spiritually OF Christ.
By this we mean an act OF faith by
which the soul appropriates to itself
Christ as a life within. We also mean
that he spend much time in prayer.
by which he receives strength ana
grace by personal touch with jesus.
The old mama was found for the
body: but this new mama is for the
soul, and is to be spiritually received.
1t suggests the value Of prayer and
meditation as means OF spiritual
growth. No soul can be strong who
does not pray much. He must be q
partaker of the divine nature.
That he study the Word for help.
Paul calls Timothy's attention to the
fact that it was his knowledge OF the
Scriptures which had given him such
a character as he possessed. They
had the power to make one wise unto
salvation. And as minister or
teacher all inspired Scripture was
profitable. The Scripture-filled minis
ter was one who was thoroughly
furnished" It is so to-day. And
what is true of the minister Is true OF
the layman. The strong man is he
who prays much and studies his
Bible much. Eating must precede
exercise and usefulness. Are we
feeding the body and starving the
soul?

The Rev. W. Carlile, head OF the
Church Army, and who had special
audience of King Edward, the other
day. relates the Argonant in an inter
view recalling remarks by the Bishop
of London and Ripon to the effect that
fashionable marriages where duties
of life are shirked and where mar.
riage was made a mockery, were even
more terrible than those irregular
marriages which the church had not
sanctioned, said: "The love of ease
and luxury among the upper classes
is mainly responsible for the nations
decay. The refusal Of mothers to &C.
cept the responsibilities Of mother
hood is, in my opinion, nothing less
than child murder. I weep to think OF
it; London becoming another Hercul.
aneum. another Pompeii. II we don't
mend our ways our fate will be none
the less terrible"

Lettuce From DaInpening on.

Where lettuce and cabbage are
started in beds rich with manure there
will be large proportion of the plants
that will be affected with fungus dis
ease. All such plants should be started
in beds where the soil is poor, then
they will grow slowly and the stems
will become sufficiently hard to resist
t.:.is disease. If truck growers will al
ways apply German Kainit to the land
before planting lettuce seed it will re-
duce the dampening off or tops from
falling over. When plant has damp
ened off take it out of the bed, also the
soil Immediately around it, and this
may remove the cause and prevent the
disease from spreading.

what Teosinte Is.

.pNosintc is botanically closely related
to common corn, and is called a grass,
although it grows ten feet high. 1t Is
a native of Central America, but has
been cultivated in the South. It will
hardly produce seed in Alabama, but it
will make a wonderful quantity OF feed
for stock. At the Georgia Experiment
Station it produced $4,000 pounds of
green forage per acre; at Mississippi
Experiment Station as high as 44,OOO
pounds Of green feed per acre. The
seasons in Alabama are not long
enough for teosinte to mature seed. 1t
grows best on rich soils and in hot,
rainy seasons.

hypnotism, while from the third there
seems a possibility that these insects
may be able to remember and recognize
individuals of their own kind after a
separation of several years. The re-
actions of ants to vibrati&ns is the

Upon investigation by the chemist
of an extensive railroad system re-
sarding the best protection Of struc-
tural work from rust, it was found
that the value of the various paints
used was directly dependent upon the
size of the particles of pigment, that is,
to the fineness to which it had been
ground. 1t is common idea among
paint users that grinding in oil is pref
erable to dry grinding. Experiment,
however. showed that dry grinding,
especially when combined with floating
to remove large particles. was much,
more efficient than the same grinding
done in oil.

Pleasure in Washing the Dishes.

In the first place, have big tray,
clean underneath so it will not mark
the table cloth, and before you COM
mence to clear away the dishes bring
it in and set on the table. Have on
it a lard bucket in which to scrape
all the scraps.
Gather up all the knives, forks and
spoons and place them together on
one side of it, Scrape the plates and
stack together-saucers, cups and all
of the same kind together. Get all
the soiled dishes out to the kitchen
table or sink.
Put the salt and pepper bottles
away, looking to it that they are
wiped off and filed, if necessary, for
the next meal.
Have the water comfortably hot and
make a good lather. Then wash the
glasses, drying them without rinsing,
on thin, soft, perfectly clean old tow
els, then wash the cups and saucers,
next the spoons, forks, etc., and plates
which scald off and dry quickly. Scour
the carving and butcher knives with
sapolia-and then go after the sauce
pans.
If you are good about planning you
will wash your sauce pans as soon as
you have used them and put them on
the back part of the stove to dry.
Wash them inside and out with sapo-
lilo each time you use them, and they
never have a chance to get to the
place where it takes long to clean

Answers.

Mrs. H. B. W-Two teaspoonfuls
of boracic acid, dissolved in one pint
of hot water and added to foot bath
will take away the swelling and re-
lieve the pain in your feet. Rest
them as often as possible. When
ironing take chair.
Mrs. H. b. RI would advise you
not to attempt to make your spring
cloth dress. With your household du-
ties you will find it serious under
taking and the making of wooden ma
terials needs really expert hands. Get
dress ready made from town. You
can get one for about what your ma
terials would cost, and it will be
much better made than it is possible
to do it at home. A we'll made skirt
and jacket, which can be discarded
on warm days or worn during the
cool ones which so often come in our
Washington climate, is the best all
round thing to have.
