Utilizing Rice HuIls.

Experiments have been made with
rice hulls in combination with differ
ent binding agents, but while the re-
sulting briquets gave every satisfac-
ton from the standpoint Of heating,
yet the initial cost of the various bind
ing agents made their cost too high
for practical purposes. The expert
ments, however, are being continued,
and it is hoped that in the future a
briquet can be manufactured thai Will
be satisfactory from an economic
standpoint.

turn off the water, the rod is usually
under the sink or in the basement, and
unscrew the faucet; take off the worn
out washer and slip on new one and
turn your water on again and presto !!
the work is done and no repair bill to

DAY OF rejoicing
The Character of Our Sowing De-
i termines the Quality OF
: Our Reapings.

"They that SOW in tears shall reap
in joy."-Ps. 1865.
Harvest joy does not come from the
tears which accompany our seedtime,
but from the faithfulness with which
we SOW even in the midst Of sorrow.
!Sheaves do not grow from tears but
from seed.
It is important that we hold fast to
the truth just stated, for we are prone
to withhold our hands in the days Of
sorrow. Such days are frequent.
Clouds are everywhere. 1t seems that
the sun will never shine again. Hope
of harvest has almost died away.
"What's the useT we say, and we are
tempted to make no further effort.
blinded by discouragement,w weakened
by disappointment, we sit down and
lbemoan the fate that has befallen
us. Thus we postpone or make I'M
possible the joyful day which might be
ours, the day of rejoicing in an abun-
dant harvest which grew from faith
full sowing.
The Day of Sorrow.
Not so the Jews in Babylon. Great
was their sorrow and distress. Upon
the willows by the rivers they hung
their harps, those musical instruments
by means of which they expressed
their JOY, for they could not sing their
national hymns in strange land; yet
in their deep sorrow they began to sow
seeds OF desire, seeds Of resolute pur-
pose, seeds Of righteousness, that they
might be fit for communion with Je-
hovah in their own beloved land. In
Babylon they remembered Zion and
how their own willfulness and sin had
been the means of sending them as eX-
lies; but instead of giving up in de-
spair they began to prepare for new
life as a restored people in q restored
fatherland. SO they made possible the
jubilant songs of deliverance.
The Reason for Joy.
It was not the tears in Babylon
which brought them their rejoicing
1t was because they had turned from
their folly and discovered the truth
which had been stated to them so
often, that ''hiS salvation IS nigh them
that fear him." What blessings come
out of these days Of tears if only we
make wise use of the sorrows that
come to us! Headstrong and dis
regarding God III the pride OF their
own strength, calamity had come upon
them; but we can almost see these
sorrow-stricken people encouraging
one another to turn again unto the
Lord. teaching their children the truth
which they had neglected to follow,
and, as consequence of such sowing,
they were rejoiced to see that truth
springeth out of the earth; and right
.eousness hath looked down from
heaven"
There is q sowing in joy-or that
which is called joy-that yields harv-
est Of tears, sowing to the wind that
yields the whirlwind. But the sowing
of right thoughts, right purposes, right
desires, even though there is no JOY 1T
the time, always yields the peaceab!e
fruits of righteousness and fills the
mouth with laughter and the tongue
with singing-Rev. James L. Clark,
d. D.
