USELESS DEBATE
BY Walt Mason

I'd like to sit discussing creeds
with you, friend, but alas! If ! did
that, know the weeds-would spoil
my garden sass! You'd doubtless
show me that Pm wrong, if we
should talk all day, but winter will
be here ere long, and must stack
my hay. | wish / had the time to
list while you, my friend, explain,
The divers points that have missed
concerning this campaign; the dire
oppression we endure-I know not
what il means: but winters COM
ing, slow and sure, and | must
thrash my beans. With you I'd
seek some shady spot, and turn
some language loose, discuss the
which ness of the what, and other
things abstruse; but, if | did, my
neighbor's pigs would enter my do

DIsSOLvES BONE IN THROAT

Sitting at a planked shad dinner
in Yonkers, laughing guest drew
bone into his throat and he be-
gan to strangle. Someone suggested
that the sufferer swallow frag
ment of dry bread.
"Oh, no." exclaimed an Ossining
man. Don't give him bread. 1t
might catch the bone and it might
not. Give him something that is
sure to give relief" Beckoning to
waiter he said: Bring me a
lemon, cut in two" And it was
brought without delay. Taking one
section, he offered it to the choking
guest and told him to such the juice
and swallow it slowly. Directions
were faithfully followed, and in
about quarter of minute the
afflicted one placed the half lemon
on his plate, looked into the anX-
ious faces around the table and
smiled.
"Well, Joe," said one, ''how about
it?"
"It's gone," was the reply, "the
bone has slipped down."
"Not exactly that" said the Ossin-
ing man. "The bone slipped down,
all right, but it was melted first by
the citric acid. / never knew it to
fail to dissolve fishbone. You can
test the power of lemon juice by
dropping some on the fishbones you
may have lying on your plate"
Several diners tried the expert
ment. In each case the acid reduced
the bone to liquid gelatine.

Jesus awaits the gathering of the
Church. over whom He is Head. He,
with the Church. His Body, will con-
stitute the great Mediator. who will in
augurate the New Covenant, after COM
pleting His better sacrifices" (He-
brews TX. 49, The first Of these was
His own hesh: the remainder IL the
flesh Of His Church; thus He said to
Saul Of Tarsus. II am Jesus whom
thou persecutest" See also Ephesians
D. 00-32
When the foreordained number Of
His members. shall have passed to Him
beyond the veil. then the great Medi-
ator will be completed. Then blood
atonement will be applied on behalf of
the world. and Divine Justice will ac-
cept that ransom-price. Thereafter the
world will be free from the death SEN
tence. Forthwith Christ will establish
His Kingdom for restoring all that was
lost In Adam.
No longer will 1t be true that the
world lies In the Wicked One; thence
forth the world will be under Messiah's
Kingdom. Satan will be bound. The
knowledge Of the Lord will ill the
earth, and every creature will have op-
portunity Of return to the Fathers
House. The wilfully disobedient win
be destroyed in the Second Death.
I'VE Have an Advocate"
1t will be observed that the Church
is separate and distinct from the world
and developed as the Body Of the Medi-
ator. The Church is called to become
partaker Of her Redeemer's sufferings
and His divine nature. She was, by
nature, children Of wrath even as 9th
ers," hence needs Divine mercy also.
The invitation of this Age Is to suf-
fer with Christ, to sacrifice earthly in
terests and hopes, to be dead to the
world with Him. and thus to be made
sharers with Him in His heavenly
glory and Kingdom.
But none Is worthy to offer sacrifice
nor could God accept imperfect sacri-
fees; hence the Divine provision Is
that we present our bodies to the High
Priest for sacrifice. He then becomes
our Advocate, ana. In harmony with
The Divine will, accepts us as His
flesh" and sacrifices us as such. imput.
ing to us Of His own merit to cover
our blemishes. Thus the Church is
accepted in the Beloved" Thus suf
fering with Him as His members. we
receive also share with Him in His
reward as members of the Body of
Messiah. the Mediator, Prophet. Priest
and King. through whom Gods bless
ings are soon to be dispensed to the en-
tire groaning creation, under the terms
Of the New Covenant. An apprecia.
tion of the Divine arrangement helps
us greatly to estimate our privilege Of
suffering with Him, that we may also
reign with Him.

SO MUCH NOISE
BY Walt Mason

Just contemplate that bald-faced
hen; she struts and cackles in the
pen with endless brag and bounce;
you'd think, the way she whoops
around her egg should weigh hum
dred pound, whereas it weighs an
ounce. Oh, why should any jim
crow fowl stand round for hours
and clack and howl because she
laid an egg? For eggs are trifling
things, by heck. In summertime It
takes peck to bring a lonely mess.
The bald-faced hen keeps up her
gait; the rooster gets his voice on
straight and does some yelling too;
and all the other hens join in and
help to swell the frightful din, the
Earring howdydo! And all this
noise that shakes the earth about
an egg that's maybe worth a frac
ton of a dime! Could anything be
more absurd than is the fool do
mestic bird which cackles all the
time? And yet perhaps the cack-
ling hen is not more trifllng tnan
the men who for an office run, who
daily raise a tiresome noise describ-
ing fully to the boys the wondrous
things they've done. They'd have
us think they saved the state from
some unseemly, awful fate; they
save il would again; but all the
boasts YOU analyze, are on level
with the cries of that old bald
faced hen.

There are signs that the time ID not
far distant" said William e. Meehan.
former state commissioner Of fisheries
and present director Of the public
aquarium In Fairmount park, when
farmers will consider fish culture az
important part of their calling az
the raising of grain or potatoes or
poultry. When that day arrives the
fish industry of Pennsylvania will rank
as high as any other industry. There
are few farms in Pennsylvania with
out springs, a stream and swampy
land of which no use Is made and upon
which the farmer pays taxes without
any return. Most Of the streams and
the springs and the swamp land could
be utilized for the rearing Of fish. Un-
der intelligent care an otherwise use
less piece Of wet land can be made to
yield as much, acre for acre, as tn

MANY DEMANDS DURING JAN
UARY. FINANCIAL AS

The month OF January. according To
the secretary OF the Calumet Associ-
ated Charities Bureau, was fully "a

number OF appeals for aid. Miss Han
sen. in looking over the records for the
month finds that no less than ~ fam
lilies sought relief through various
charity channels. Fortunately the as
ISOLATION was enabled TO cope with the
demand.
Permanent employment was found
for the head OF one family and tenn
porary work for seven other persons.
The secretary paid So visit TO homes
during the month, going as far as the
Mohawk location. Miss Hansen states
that the association is in need of cloth

pecially childrens. She wishes the
general public of Calumet TO make
note OF this fact. and render any as
slstance that lies in their power.

Hansen states that many poor fami-
lies under ordinary normal weather
conditions, had made provision for
enough fuel to last them through the
winter owing Ia the unusually cold
weather however. their supplies have

suffering in many families just now,
owing TO lack of means 10 keep tho
homes warm.
The local association is doing every
thing in its power to help needy fam
lilies. but still requires much help. An
urgent appeal is made to local resi-
dents to aid the association i'm contin-
uing its good work. Donations Of
clothing. particularly ehildren's, fuel,
or money will be thankfully received.
All that is necessary is a telephone call
