Purified With Mud

Ancient Greek priests purified sin
ners by smearing them with mud.
Mud pressed together by tremen-
douS pressure becomes slate, which
is used to roof buildings, make black
boards, crayons and many other
articles. Certain wasps, called daub-
ers, use mud to build their nests.
Men have even made adobe houses
of it. The floor of the ocean is COW
cred with great mud deposits. Most
of these are blackish-blue, but some
are brown; others red, blue or green.
Nature traps animals in mud,
which preserves their bones. Scien-
lists dig up the bones and read the
secrets of the past.

Form Of Indian "Adontion"

One form of adoption" not I'M
common among the Ohio Indians,
was instituted by old squaws who
had lost their husbands and who
could not find a new one available
in their own tribe. The woman
would have a party Of men 60 out
and capture a white man, prefera-
bly, white leader, and bring him
to her. At the Indian camp, amid
ceremonies that would sometimes
last for four or five weeks, the white
man was not only adopted into the
tribe but formally married to the
old squaw. One phase of the cere-
mony was the immersion Of the new
conner in a stream so that the white
blood might be washed from his
veins. If the captive refused to
marry the squaw he was put to
death, so he usually consented, but
at the first opportunity would eS-
cape to his former home.

well under its young and energetic

Tradition of St. Johns
Fires Faithfully Noted

The prehistoric tradition of st.
Johns fires in France, appropriated
from paganism by Christianity, is
faithfully observed, writes the Paris
correspondent of the London Sum-
day Observer. Boys and girls go
round the village begging for fuel
for the bonfire. A bunch of wild
herbs at the top of staff is set up
in the middle. AS the flames rise
towards it, the girls of the village
try to snatch flower from it, just
as it begins to be singed, or else
they win throw q flower through
the flames and try to save it, burned
a little-for this is Indispensable
but not burned up. To do so brings
luck, and means marriage within
the year.
The old people carry away one Of
>the scorched embers and keep it.
They will even sprinkle it with holy
water. Others will scatter a few
sparks from the fire over the hem
roosts. This will make the chickens
healthy, according to the tradition.

Scent Attracts Animals

Many fur-bearing animals, such
as the marten, mink and fisher, are
far too wary to 60 near trap set
in the ordinary way. To catch them
a scent is necessary. This is made
from many different substances,
such as musk, asafetida, oil of anise
"a plant of the parsley family, and
common fish oil. Trails of these
scents are laid from all directions
to the trap. When a fur-bearer
comes along, it smells the scent,
which is sprinkled sparingly on tree
trunks and bushes, and follows the
trail until it steps into the trap.

parable Oh Tie SOOu SHSpnSIu pre-
sents the whole day in the life Of
the shepherd and his flock, morning,
noon, and night, and typihes the
ministry of Christ on our behalf in
the varying circumstances of life.
1. In the Morning John 1910.
Flocks were sometimes kept in
the field at night, as was the case
on the night when Jesus was born
in Bethlehem. But ordinarily they
were brought into a sheepfold where
many flocks gathered for protec-
ton. Thieves would climb the wall
to steal sheep, but the shepherd,
when he came in the morning to
lead forth his flock, entered in by
the door. He called out his flock
by name and they knew his voice.
1t is said that only a sick sheep
will follow stranger, which may
explain why so many false isms Of
our day appeal to the sick and lead
them away from the Good Shep-
herd.
Do you know his voice? Have you
responded to his call? Win you fol-
low him? Decide now.
III. In the Heat of the Day wv.
7-10).
Perhaps the sheep need to enter
the fold to rest, if so he is the
door. But they may wish to 60 out
to the pasture-again he is the door.
Belonging to Christ is not bondage.
If any man enter in by Christ, the
Door, he is free to go in and out, to
find pasture, to live for and to
serve him.
''The Door," What striking fig
ure! 1t is a means of entry, the
only way in. Every door has two
sides and the side we are on de-
termines whethsr we are inside or
outside-saved or lost. Children
used to sing, and still do:
One Door and only one,
And yet its sides are two
Inside and outside,
On which side are your
III. When Night Comes wv. H.
16).
The wolves come out as the shad-
ows gather. They come to kill and
to scatter. Where is the shepherd?
If he is only a hireling, serving
for what may ''be in it, for him,
he will flee. How perfectly this pic
lures religious leaders who, in spite
Of their swelling words and ingra-
tiating manners, desert the flock in
the hour of adversely. Fair weather
friends are they, who disappear
when darkness and danger appear.
In the darkest hour Jesus is near
est at hand. He never fails. He
has no fear, for has he not tasted
the bitter death Of Calvary's tree
for you and for me? He is the
good shepherd. He giveth his life
for the sheep. Those who have put
their trust in him shall never be
put to shame.
Because he has given his life for
the sheep we must not forget nor
neglect the truth found in verse 16.
There are "other sheep that have
not yet been brought into the fold.
They mHst be brought in, and we,
on his behalf, must bring them, that
there may ''be one fold and one
shepherd"
