Dear Members Of the NJ. B. Column:
am sorry you could not all be st the re-
union to receive Zilla's hearty welcome TO her
lovely new cottage, To enjoy the beautiful
view from the piarra and the walks In the
grove, to feast on the good things and to meet
old and new friends. The shower OF the af-
ternoon drew us closer around the cheerful
open Gre. where we were introduced by Aunt
Madge to larger circle.
n. l. H., I was glad to hear q message from
you, for it recalled many years ago when |
was teacher in q little school in our native
town and you visited us for an afternoon.
And, Aunt Emma. am sorry you are en-
during . visit of the buffalo bugs. Thirteen
years ago I discovered that q room which had
a red carpet on the floor was full OF them. It
was a chamber. the only finished room on the
second floor. But even before had recovered
ON the mingled terror and perpleIity, ! had
thought OF plan which ought to kill them.
So proceeded to carry mp stairs two tubs.
In each tub put brick laid fat with water
enough to reach the top. One was in the
middle Of the buffalo bug room, and the other
in what we call the outside chamber. Beside
each tub put n bag Of sulphur TO be close at
hand when should need IL a short time
after.
Then brought mp two kettles OF glowing
fire Goals, placing one on each brick. snatch
ing the sulphur bag by the tub in the inner
room poured its contents on the Goals and
rushing out, before the fumes could reach
me. had similar smoke in the outside room
and then hurried down stairs.

neighbors as he passed and out came father
and son Joining the mad race. The front door
bell rang violently and rushed to answer it.
The man informed ne: "Your house is all
afre; the smoke is coming out all over the
roof" calmly told him What 1t was and he
drove away. glad, | hope, that his efforts we're
unnecessary.
Next day when the smoke had cleared away
no buffalo bugs were to be found, and have
! seen no traces Of them there since.
During the rest OF that summer and for
several summers following, once a week we
religiously shook, over a white sheet, every
garment in the first floor, clothespresses, and
once in great while were rewarded for our
diligence by finding q bug. but nowadays
we pay no attention to them, and I do not
know we have any.
There may be other cures for buffalo bugs.

do hope that you who are suffering from
the pests will soon be rid Of them. sincerely

am sure Aunt Emma will be glad Of
these directions, and those who are not
troubled with buffalo bugs will enjoy the
letter and be glad to hear again from ID.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.
Prayer Meeting Topic Fo, shs We.
Beginning Oct 3, 1909.

By REV. s Il DOYLE
Topic---Life lessons for me from the
book OF Ephesians--EpA ~. Ia 4-S2
Inasmuch as the rta of this book
is not found In some manuscripts and
further that it contains no personal
salutations. Ephesians Is thought by
some to have been circular letter.
sent first to Ephesus and then to be
read in other churches Of Asia Minor
This was not uncommon with the
Apostle Paul In Col ~. l6, he in
structs the Colossians after reading
their letter to send 1t 70 Laodicea and
also for them to read his letter to the
Laodiceans. But while we may not
hold this opinion we can see from the
character Of the Epts1e that 1t was
well adapted for such purpose.
Ephesians was NOT written because
of any peculiar difficulties in the
church at Ephesus. II Is a strong.
stimulating letter to gentle Christians
encouraging them to walk worthy OF
their high calling tn spite Of the
many temptations to lapse into pagan
ism. For those at Ephesus 1t was q
difficult matter to live sincere CHRIS
tian life Ephesus was the great port
of asia Minor. Its people were rich
and licentious and fanatical There
was the statue Of the goddess Diana.
and their religious fanatjcism was seen
when in a Demonstration against Paul
thousands cried out for bcua Great
Is Diana Of the Ephestans- But the
Ephesians must have been faithful,
even amid such unfavorabse Surround
ings. for Paul has no woed Of censue
or condemnation for them - for the
Corinthians. They should thus teach
Us a great leeso1- Ths worlds allure
ments are many. but u is not a
means Of grace to help us on to Cod
Like the Ephesians, We should stand
fast Instead Of Conforming TO this
world we should walk vusthy o8 the
high calling OF God.
Ephesians naturally falls into tvo
divisions, Of three chapters each: L
Doctrtnal II. Practical In the doc
rinal part Paul exalts the glorious In
heritance to which the Ephesians were
made heirs by the death and resurrec-
ton and exaltation Of Christ: be con-
trasts their condition as Christians
with that Of their former condition as
pagans, and speaks Of the mystery
which made It possible for them to be-
come Christians, praying. after the
manner Of the Locd's Prayer. that
they may enjoy DE highest spiritual
privileges. In the practical part be ex-
horts them 10 unity. warns them
against certain fmmoralit3ea. urges
them In all the relations Of Life to con
secrate themselves to God. and, that
they may Withstand the wiIes Of the
devil b put on the whole arnor OF
God The study Of this book cannot
but result in a spiritual uplift % every
