were newcomers to the community.
The young wife said TO me, 20, am
SO homesick to see mother. We have
lived here for four months and not q
'pworfaH Has been III my house. Z
There is pathos, my friend, in those
words. You may not be in need OF
new friends yourself, but that is no
reason why you should be st1ngy with
your friendship.
1t is a mean man who will run you
down behind your back, but he is
quite respectable by the side of the
low-down rascal who runs and tells
you what has been said.
No man ever preserved his youth,
or anything else worth preserving by
doing nothing. The best way to keep
as young as possible is to have some
thing useful to do. The reason that
so many retired farmers age so quick
ly after leaving the farm is because
they have nothing to do but just loaf
around and pass away the time. Time
is a mighty dull and burdensome thing
to possess when you have no use to
put it to.

they are sure that it will not last long?
You can never tell how good man
is by the way his dog loves him, nor
by the way his wife brags on him in
company.
If you have grievance keep it to
yourself and it will vanish pretty
soon. 1t is the exploited sort that
takes root and grows.
Winter often holds on good while
after its backbone is broken, prob
ably because of the enjoyment to be
had in lingering in the lap of spring.
Corn, clover and cattle might do as
a slogan for the farmer, but he must
not forget that the horse, the hog and
the hen also deserve honorable men,
ton.
1t never makes farm girl any the
less refined to know how to handle
and take care of horse, and it makes
her a great deal more self reliant
and Independent.
Old Bill Williams says his garden
spot always looks the best to him
when the ground is frozen so that
there is no excuse for his wife to ex-
pect him to work in it.

Some folks never pray for rain

they just cuss the drouth.
Dyed beard or hair always looks

The sort of husbands good many
of us are, my friend, leaves US with

predisposition in that way let him
watch the springtime sun come up
and 60 down in glory, or attend the
song of the early robin calling for his
mate, or keep watchout for the jon-
quils coming up to bid goodbye to the
passing snowdrifis, or look on at the
boys playing marbles in a sunshiny
place. A grumbling heart in the
springtime is as out of place in this
good old world as a frost in hay-mak-
ing time.
When a man declares he hash 'tany
good neighbo and you wish to see
the reason for it, just look straight at
him.
It takes long time to restore lost
confidence, and then it is apt to show
marks of the restoration, like a gar
ment that is patched.
Youhave probably some new neigh
bors this spring. Be neighborly with
them. Find time to take the good
wife over for a friendly visit with
them pretty soon. Life is too short
to be selfish. just your own affairs
are too little to be all wrapped up in.

The man who uses up lots of time
arguing politics never gets any profit
out OF it. The one who will not en-
nance his patriotismin the least, nor
the other his righteousness.
March pigs need dry, warm place
and all the sun they can get. Care
must be used to guard against the
sudden change from the warm sun to

A sharp disk does good work, but
care should be taken to see that the
sharpening is done so that the temper
is not drawn from the cutting edge,
otherwise the first days work will
put it in as bad shape as it was before
sharpening.
The disk drill is good machine,
but it is not for the farmer who farms
by the calendar or by the moon. The
drill, in order to do good work, must
be used when the fields are reason
ably dry. "Mudding it in" is out of
the question when the drill is used.
1t never pays to be pessimistic. Es-
pecially is the spring of the year no

 ing matters for this meeting.
 Last night l was in old idol ridden Kompira and had a good quite meeting with a fine crowd of men in one of the hotels. This also represents the work of the newspaper man just baptized. The zeal of this good brother certainly makes us feel good. He has secured an opportunity for me to address the students of a private high school at Zentsuji. The pastor of the church in Takamatsu was ordained re- gently. His essay was the best sent in by any of the ten candi- dates. Ten men were examined, three were graduates of our Kobe School and all of them passed with honor. This is a fine showing for Kobe. The attendance at church services is good and all the Christians are rejoicing. One of the Christians is a blind man and he is doing a lot of personal work. People come to see him, and he gets out his Braille hymn book and teaches them to sing. Some of the people" he says, 'are slow to learn. and often l sing until my head aches, but l want them to become believers" Just think of what this brother is do- | ing even with his great handi- cap. Does not his example force us all to do more for our Master?
 | We abaptised another leper at the colony a few days ago. One Christian leper was transferred to another colony, 90 now we have but four Christians there. One is the official representive of the colony and is always con- suited by the authorities in matters concerning the lepers. All the baptized Christians have good moral records and have the respect of the authorities. It was rather difficult for me to decide to baptize the lepers, but God gave me grace sufficient to do it.
 On account of the war, funds are coming in very slowly for our Marugame church building. 1, and so nothing much is being done in that direction. How ever we firmly believe that God will provide this building when we can no longerget along with out it.
 Friends, we want your prayers. Sustained jby your prayers we can do a greater work for the Master. We are 1 here to serve Him. Help us by your prayers to serve Him faith fully. We extend to you the best wishes of the season, and hope that Christmas will give you anew vision Of your Saviour that will. make you < still more l efficient in His service.
