BY Rev. Paul Gardner.

IL does not demand much but In re-
turn gives infinitely more than 1t re-
ceives. A legend says that a stinU
priest OF an other religion was ex-
pected to make an Offering to his
prince. The prince approached. The
priest reached into his bag and took
up a handful of wheat. AS he with
drew his hand his avarice caused him
to allow the wheat to pass through
his fingers. When he reached forth
the Offering he had but a few little
grains. To his surprise the prince
him to keep them. He looked and.
behold the few grains had turned
to precious, priceless jems. Then II
was that he cursed himself that he
had offered SO stingily, Even so 10
every offering made to the claims
OF this gospel transformed and given
back to enrich the giver. Thus he
who gives most receives most.
Nor am ! ashamed of its advocates
and its followers. We hold no brief
for those who misrepresent and belle
their profession. But all in all 1t
numbers among its devotees and ex-
ponents the worlds best. They are
they who lead In sacrifices and benev-
.olences for a suffering world. II Is
from their breasts that the milk OF
human kindness fiowes In ceaseless
streams. IL Is they who stand In the
forefront OF every movement for hu-
man advancement. II is they who
count not their lives dear unto them
selves that they may serve their
brethren at home or abroad. they
are the ones who are tlse messengers
of peace to the lowly and oppressed
of the earth. 1t is they who carry
the light of civilization to darkened
places CT the earth and usher In a
new day. The heralds Of the CROSS
are the worlds greatest benefactors
and their CROSS the hope of the
worlds salvation.
o child OF woe, why should you I've
ashamed of this gospel of Christ? Old
Stars n Stripes Is a glorious en-
blem. No man ashamed OF IL volun-
lteered to go with IL. to uphold 1t and

boys that they prayed that they might
bear 1t across the seas, to the renches
and o plant 1t on m mans land. Are
you ashamed of the Banner OF the
Gross? IL not then come to II. Rally

SHOOTING MIGRATORY WILD
FOWL UNLAWFUL AFTER SUNSET

Hunting migratory game birds is
permitted under Federal regulations
each day during the opep season from
half an hour before sunrise to sunset.
Persons found hunting between sun
set and half IN hour before sunrise
are liable to prosecution in Federal
court under the provisions OF Regu-
lation 4 of the migratory-bird treaty
act regulations. A State law recently
passed by the Legislature OF South
Dakota provides that waterfowl may
be shot half an hour after sunset.
The Biological Survey Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
points out that State Legislatures may
pass laws to give mrther protection
to migratory birds. IL such laws or
regulations do not extend the open
seasons for such birds beyond uhe
'tiMts prescribed by the migratory
bird t~reaty-act regulations. Altho
the State law permits shooting from
sunise to half an hour after sunset,
q person so doing may be arrested and
prosecuted under the Federal law, ad-
ministered by the Department OF Ag-
riculture.

passion went from place to. place,
land to land, continent to continent
