FURTHER DIRECTIONS FOR
COMBATING FIELD MICH

Traps for field mice can be used
only on limited areas. In the case Of
large tracts, recourse must be had
to poisoned grain. One ounce OF
sulphate of strychnia dissolved by
boiling in pint of water and an
equal quantity of cheap syrup add.
ed will poison half a bushel Of
wheat or corn. Cracked and crushed
corn is better for this purpose than
the uncrushed kernel. This grain
should soak in the poisoned liquid
several hours and then be allowed
to dry. Grass growing about the
base of a fruit tree encourages the
presence of mice. as does also early

Faith Must Show Itself.

II the church is salt, then the church
must be different from the world
around 1t. If the church is light, then
the church must be unlike those who
have not committed themselves to the
leadership Of Christ. When Chris
tians say the same things which un-
believers say, and do the same things
which scoffers do, they cease to be a
leavening force In society. II faith
in Christ is to have any meaning. 1t
must show itself in the creation of a
new type of man. A Christian should
have something in him not to be found
In any other human being. Unless he
is more in disposition, aim and con-
duct than those around him. he Is not
giving the world the impulse or guild
ance which humanity is In need Of
Broadway Tabernacle Tidings.

SCOUTS GROWING RAPIDLY.

In spite of the fact that of the
scoutmasters and other scout officials
a large percentage volunteered for &C.
tive service Immediately following the
declaration Of the war, and another
large percentage was called to the
colors by the first draft law. the rec
ords show that today the Boy Scouts
of America has 43 per cent more scout
officials than 1t had on the day war
was declared and 66 per cent more
scouts than it had on the day war was
declared.
For every man who will go, each
community will have at least five or
more men who have the same quail
ties of leadership for carrying on the
work. 1t is not necessary for them
to know scouting from the technical
point Of view in order to efficiently
serve as scoutmasters. They can Sc
cure experience by following the same
course as their predecessors. The war
has proven not only in England, but
here in America, that between so and
60 there are scoutmasters even bet
ter than younger men.
Today there are 440, 800 men and
boys as compared with 272,O31 on
April 6, 1917. What will the records
be In one year? There will be at
least 714.OOO men and boys IL this
percentage of increase Is maintained.

THE READY BOY SCOUT,

A hall to the lad who always does his
bit!
When there Is work, he hustles into It
With the zest of a batter who Is swing
ing for a hit
The ready and the steady and the heady
Boy Scout.
He's often small. and he's never very
big;
He's always square. and he cannot be .
prig;
And when there is digging you ought to
see him dig
The ready and the steady and the heady
Boy Scout.
Tho woodland lore is a bit Of what he
knows;
He loves the nag and follows where It
goes;
He's a man in the making. the very best
that grows

SCOUTS HELP POLICE CITY

When the patrolmen Of Cincinnati
went on strike. the city was left in .
very serious situation.
The city officials called upon a num-
ber of civic organizations for assist
ance. including the Boy Scouts Of
America. The following editorial from
a local paper indicates how well they
did their work and how much 1t was
appreciated:
Saturday morning boy scouts were
On duty as traffic officers at street in
tersections In downtown Cincinnati.
"The boys went at the work with the
energy and enthusiasm which were to
be expected of them. AS these lines
are written, one Of the youngsters Is
bossing the traffic at the corner OF
Sixth and Walnut In way that brings
smiles of approval and encouragement
from passers-by.
"Reeulation Of traffic Is a necessity
In Cincinnati. Law-abiding people will
obey the orders Of the boy scouts on
traffic duty and try to help them in
thelr work. II there are any small
enough in mind to impose upon the
boys. it Is more than probable that
they will find the undertaking both un-
successful and costly"

LESSON FOR DECEMBER IS
Joseph FoRolvEs HIS BRETH-
REM.

also fsrgive you.-Matthew STA.
DEVOTIONAL READIN0-Genesis a:

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-Genssis y:
Ia: Ephesians A:sl. 50.
Z. Joseph piseIoses His identity -
His Brethren wv. 1-3).
He treated his brethren harshly at
flrst. his purpose being to ascertain as
to whether they were the same cruel,
heartless men as before, and to
produce penitence In their hearts. They
keenly felt their guilt and heartily re-
pented OF their folly. Judah's pathetic
appeal overcame his apparent harsh
ness, causing him to disclose his iden-
tity Being unable to restrain his pent-
up emotions he orders every one from
his presence. This act on the part OF
Joseph troubled them it ought to have
made them glad. Their sins prevented
1t being a time of JOY for them. This
most beautifully illustrates Christ's
dealing with his brethren, the Jews.
Just as they who had rejected him and
sold him were compelled to come to
him for aid, so when the great tribula-
ton comes, Christ's brethren. the Jews,
will cry unto him for aid Daniel 1927;
1874; Matthew "a :21; Zechariah II 10
14). Joseph dealt severely with his
brethren to test them and bring them
to repentance. So Christ will do with
the Jews Hosea 5:15; Ezekiel % 10
%. AS Joseph's love was behind his
harsh exactings, SO back of Christ's
treatment of the Jews will be his great
love for them.
u. Joseph's Efforts to Assuage the
Grief Of His Brethren wv. 4-S).
When Joseph revealed himself to his
brethren, the remembrance Of their
sins pierced them through. Joseph's
first question was about his father.
This shows that his desire was to put
their thoughts far away from their
crime. He invited them to come near
unto him, and assured them God had
overruled their crime in sending him
for their salvation. They meant it for
evil, but it was part Of Gods plan for
good. This does not excuse them from
the guilt Of the sin. In some future
time Christ will become reconciled to
his brethren, the Jews, and be their
Savior and benefactor Usaiah IL 10
16). Peter, on the day Of Pentecost.
showed that the Jews treatment OF
Christ was such, and that Gods over
ruling providence had turned 1t out
for good. Just as Egypt was obliged
to come to Joseph for sustenance and
become servants for Pharaoh through
him Genesis Al 1920, so will all the
world yet come to Christ for his bless
ing, and be reconciled to God through
him (Isiaiah 2:24; II 10; Psalms
72:7-17; Zechariah IA :16).
~. Joseph Sent His Brethren With
Good News to his Father wv. 9-15).
AS soon as Joseph's brethren knew
him and were reconciled to him, they
were sent with the glad tidings to
their father. He assured them that he
would nourish them and that they
should be near him. They were direct
ed to tell of his glory. Jacob would
not have mourned the death of Joseph
had he known of his glory. He now
gave them the kiss Of reconciliation
and they were permitted to talk with
him. Reconciliation precedes com
mupion.
