TAKE TIME TO Mediate
Quiet Hours to Act as a Spiritual d.
rectory to Put One In Right
Direction.

Not long ago / had an experience
that set me to thinking about the
use OF prayer and periods Of medita-
ton. l had an important conference
to attend and realized that my time
was limited in which to reach the
place Of my engagement. found
l had somehow mistaken the ad-
dress, and knowing that l was get
ting late, ! thought to save time by
inquirng. Several persons whom I
met and asked were ignorant of the
building wanted. Finally became
fretted and ran into a grocery store
to Inquire II they knew the name
of the person l was seeking. The
grocery clerk did not seem to know,
but he said. "Have you looked into
the directory7" He handed me the
book, and very soon I located my
party and went of wondering why
I had not thought to save my time by
consulting the directory before.
When one thinks about It, Jesus
seemed to use the quiet times Of
prayer as spiritual directory. He
realized evidently that, despite the
needs that pressed upon him from
the people whom he came to serve,
1t saved time to send them away
occasionally and betake himself to
the still air of the mountain for
meditation and prayer. - Christian

WHAT ELECTRICITY MEANS
TO ONE FARM HOME

The house in which our family Of
six is nov living was built by my
father in 1867. 1t was substantially
constructed, and was considered a
very fine home in those days. In 1867,
however, there were very few of the
home comforts and .,onvenicnces
which we know now. Light, for in
stance, was furnished by kerosene
lamps. Water came from we'll with
a wooden pump, about scventy-fvc
feet from the house; later windmill
was installed at this well, supplying
water for a constantly increasing
amount of stock Later still came
the large round-wick coal-oil lamp
which gave out more and better light
and the water system was improved
by the addition of a rain water els
tern with hand pump at the kitchen
sink. These various improvements
were adopted as rapidly as they PROV
cd practical.
Ever since electricity came to be
extensively used to light city homes
| have been determined to have it
on our farm. There were, however
obstacles in the way Of getting it. The
lighting companies could not easily
extend their lines very far into the
country, and the early type of isoat-
cd electric plant, formed by getting
a generator and running it by belt
from your farm engine, didn't seem
to me to be thoroughly practical and
efficient. In addition there was the
trouble Of wiring house and barns,
and Of getting suitable fixtures.
But these obstacles are no longer
in the way. Thanks to the electrical
engineer, there are isolated electric
light and power plants on the mar
ket which can be bought for less than
the cheapest automobile and which
give the best Of service without much

care and attention. Furthermore,
house wiring has progressed to the
point where any house, old or new,
can have entirely concealed wiring at
a reasonable cost and with very little
"tearing up"
These improvements were the ones
that led me to put in electricity. We
got our plant about six months ago
and installed it in the pump house
about half way between the main
house and the barn. The engine and
generator, which are assembled in one
unit, rests on solid concrete base,
and the storage battery, consisting of
sixteen glass jars, is placed on two
shelves along the wall. Our plant,
which cost $275, is a self-cranking
one that starts when my twelve year
old boy presses switch on the
switchboard. We put kerosene in the
fuel tank every time we start it and
a little oil in the crank case about
once week. Occasionally we put q
little pure water in each Of the bat
terry cells. This is all the attention
we give it, We run it about three
times a week and I figure that the
running cost is about $1.OO to $1.25
per month.
Our wiring, all Of the Concealed"
type, cost US $50. I understand that
many farms have been wired and
equipped at a much lower cost than
this, but believe that concealed wir-
ing, conveniently located switches,
plenty of lights and the best of fix
lures throughout, are we'll worth the
added cost.

IN MEMORrAM.

Last Sunday morning at two O'clock
God needed one more little Eastee
Lily and He chose little julius Allen
Shorter, son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A.
Shorter, for His little angel blossom.
He was precious little jewel on
earth to US, but the Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh and while we loved
him 0 so much we would not have
him back. 1t was hard for us to part
with our little treasure, but we only
know that he is sweet little angel
in Heaven to wait our coming Of a
later day. We miss him, yes precious
little darling we miss his little fun
and sweet little laugh. Mama cannot
feel his little arms around her neck.
He was always little sufferer, but
through all Of that he had a sweet
little smile for everybody and Satur-
day evening few hours before he
left us he smiled and tried to greet
his little groupe in Heaven. Precious
little Jul we loved him so much, but
God loved him best and claimed him
for His own. He was eight years
and seventeen days old, was budded on
this earth to bloom in Heaven. Sweet
little darling he is gone but is not
forgotten and all that careful and
loving hands could do was done, but
God knows best and His will must
be done. Mother.

ment on our farm, including the plant,
wiring, fixtures, lamps, motors and
other appliances, cost us about four
hundred dollars. But I want to say
this: that it's the bost four hundred
dollar investment I've ever made.
Electricity gives us the best light
we have ever had wherever and when
ever we want it. 1t saves all the
trouble Of cleaning, filling and carry
ing. kerosene lamps and lanterns, and
it does away with the danger of fire.
This is particularly. true in the barn.
1t saves half the time It used to take
to do the chores.
And electric power, coming from
our motors, has relieved us of hours
of unpleasant and tirfng work that
we used to consider a regular part
of the days work. know that when
was boy it seemed to me that I
walked miles every day, carrying
water from the we'll to the house and
to the barns, spent hours at the
churn, and turned the grindstone long
enough to sharpen all the scythes in
the state. Wash day used to take so
much of our women folks time that
nothing else in the house was attend
ed to. Now our electric washing ma
chine has made it much easier and
shorter task. House cleaning used to
mean dust caps and commotion. Now
vacuum sweeper does the work.
But better and more convenient
light, and labor saving power, are not
the real meaning of electricity on our
farm. Through these things it has
made our life easier, more comfort
amle, more worth while. We all have
more time to rest and to read Owe
always intended to study the farm
papers more carefully, but never did
until we got electricity. And, best
of all, our children are going to stay
on the farm where they can now have
all of the conveniences that used to
be offered only in the city.

Columbia, will be in Manning next
