THE WONDERFUL BOOK.
II Has the Power to Speak to People
Of Every Race, Condition and
Every Age.

The Bible is the universal Book OF
the wide world. In hundreds OF Ian
guages and dialects, heather countries
are today reading It's pages, and n
great army of missionaries is %expound-
ing its truths.
When Doctor Patton was printing his
first New Testament in the Aniwan
language, Chief Namakei, an old man,
eagerly watched the missionary, and
one day he said: Does 1t speak7"
YES" said Patton. at can talk now
in your own language" "Oh, let It
speak to me-let me hear 1t speak"
Patton then read a few lines, when the
old man cried: at does speak, Oh,
give 1t to me !" Grasplng the book, he
turned 1t round and round. Then,
pressing 1t to his heart, he shouted
ooh, make It speak to me again 70 Is
not this the greatest work Of the mis-
slOnary, making the Bible speak to
men7
1t is said that more than five hun
dred thousand sermons are preached
every Sunday from texts taken from
the Holy Scriptures. Any but n divine
book would have been worn out ages
ago, but the more the Bible is used,
the better 1t is liked. The cry every
where today is, Come over and help
usl" All the gates are open to the
Christian soldier sent of God, carry
ing with him the World Of Power and
preaching Christ to every creature

TAKE TIME TO Mediate
Quiet Hours to Act as a Spiritual d.
reetory 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. l thought to save time by
inqulrlng. Several persons whom l
met and asked were ignorant Of the
building l wanted. Finally l 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 directory" He handed me the
book, and very soon | located my
party and went Off wondering why
/ 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 a spiritual directory. He
realized evidently that, despite the
needs that pressed upon him from
the people whom he came to serve,
II saved time to send them away
occasionally and betake himself to
the still air OF the mountain for
meditation and prayer. Christian

many silver properties that have not
been worked for years would pay well
at the present price of the white
metal.

An enemy shell hit an American gun
and caused casualties. Some of the

The American batteries have been
firing rapidly in return. The visible

casualties have been caused in the
German lines than the Germans have
inflicted on the Americans.

GOOD ROAD WORK IN WINTER
Maintenance Of Dirt Roads Is Prob.
lem Confronting Farmer-Mak-
ing SpIit-Log Drag.

One of the problems confronting the
farmer is the question of maintenance
OF dirt roads. Not only should dirt
roads be maintained during the spring
and summer months, but the winter
| months as well especially is this true
where there is not an overabundance
OF snow, which conditions exist with
many of our readers.
The King road drag may be used
with much benefit during the winter
months, just after thaws or rains.
Good work can be done at this time
of the year because the soil Is crum-
bly, or mealy and pushes easily toward
the center Of the road.
II the road has been properly cared
for during the summer and fall, 1t will
be only a slight task to drag 1t dur
ing the winter when conditions are
right. At that season of the year there
is little for the work team to do and
In early spring the roads will be In
shape to turn water and permit of
early drying. In fact, the winter
dragged roads will be dry and hard in
the spring when neglected roads will
be soft, rutty and springy. There is
no best time to drag roads. Go after
the work and then drag whenever you
can during the winter; then your
roads will be in good shape next
spring. Make spllt-log road drag
and keep 1t going on the highway.
ID. Ward King, the inventor Of the
drag, gives the following directions
for making a split-log drag: Take
the two halves Of split log, ten or
twelve inches thick and seven to nine
feet long. Set the halves fiat sides
to the front, fasten 30 inches apart
with strong stakes, the ends of which
are wedged in two-inch auger holes,
bored through the slabs. Put solid
plank platform on the stakes for the
driver to stand on. The hitch is made
Of strong wire or chain, the long end
fastened to stake over the top of the
front slab, the short end should be put
through a hole made in center of the
slab and near the end to prevent the
back slab fitting forward. Face four
or five feet of the ditch end Of the
front slab with iron. An old wagon
tire, worn share of road grader, or
any piece Of fiat steel will answer for
this purpose.
AS general rule, always haul the
drag at an angle of As degrees, NOV
