Springs of Comfort.

They are in God. He is the Father
of mercies and the God of all comfort,
"As father pitieth his children, so
the Lord pitieth them that fear him,
for he knoweth our frame, he re-
membereth that we are dust" When
the heart is burdened with a great sor-
row, when cherished hopes are blight
ed, when the pail of disappointment
and death enshrouds us, then human
sources of consolation fail to meet the
great need. When tout of the depths',
the soul cries for help, there is only
One who can hear and render timely
aid. These divine supplies are reached
through faith, through living, loving
communion with the bountifui Giver,
Fellowship with God is the balm for
bruised hearts. "Let not your heart
be troubled; ye believe in God, believe
also In me-" A living faith unites us
to the very heart of God. 1t opens to
the bereaved and troubled untold
sources of strength and consolation.
S'od Is our refuge and strength, q very
present help in trouble; therefore, wifi
not we fear" "All my springs are in
thee.s 7-s

The poor man who seeks to help,
even in the smallest way, but with a
right spirit, his fellowmeD, is of in
finitely greater worth to the race than
the man of millions, whose chief aim
and end are his own pleasure. A poor
and aged man was seen planting an
apple tree and was somewhat rudely
acoosted by stranger who said, "Why
do you plant trees when you cannot
possibly live long enough to eat the
fruit of them?n The poor man raised
himself fand leaning OH his shovel, said:
someone planted trees before 1 was
born, and l have eaten the fruit; l
now plant for others, that the memoir
ial of my gratitude may exist when
am dead and gone" That is the
Christian point of view.

The people over on the western slope
have been busy during the fall and
winter In sprigglng up their orchards
with good coating Of whitewash
which Is made in the ordinary manner
and. Is diluted to about the consistency
of thin cream. II a large surface is to
be covered, especially ifit is difficult
to reach, a direct delivery nozzle is
used and the operator stands several
feet away. But If 1t is desired to cover
the surface eveningly and neatly, the
McGowan nozzle is more satisfactory.
Any nozzle which will pass the lime
and copper bordeaux mixture will also
distribute whitewash which serves not
oply as defiector Of the suns rays
which are often detrimental in forcing
the buds before they are ready to come
out but the coating is also considered
invaluable as protection against frost.
It has been found that four or five de-

The late Ambrose L. Thomas, the
noted advertising expert of Chicago,
once told story about two doctors in
an address on advertising.
''To illustrate my point" he said,
apropos of an advertising error, "I'lp
tell you about my friend Bones. Bones
was taken down very bad, and, his
family physician being out of town, a
specialist was called in. But the FAM
lily physician unexpectedly returned,
and he and the specialist entered
Bones room together. They found
the man in high fever and partially
unconscious. Each put his hand un-
der the bed clothes to feel Bones's
pulse, and each accidentally got hold
of the others hand.

physician.

WHEN Mr.. Guggenheim of Colo
RADIO sits himself down in the
Senate chamber, the guides may
point him out to visitors as re-
markable and even unique figure.
"See that man holding the green
book in his left hand?" they will
say. That's Guggenheim of
Colorado, the only man who ever
bought a seat in the Senate and
proudly admitted the transaction
afterwards" The frankness of
Guggenheim would be more re-

were not quite so shameful.-Ep-
