Interchangeable. In time, words be-

have revised versions" of the Bible,
adhering more closely to the orig

Hebrew manuscripts have been
found since our King James Version

We smile at the illiterate preacher,

advocates of the verbal inspiration
of the Bible are confronted by the
question, Which version do you
mean? The English, the German,
the French, the Chinese, the Greek
or the Hebrew?" Literal inspira-
ton can be claimed only for the
original copies of the Scripture.

Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN

When read the story of the feed
ing in the wilderness it reveals to
me much more than historic event.
I see in it significant truth that
reaches out to untold thousands
stranded in the wilderness of life.
1t is expressive of blessing that
may fill not only my life but the
lives of all mankind as it reveals to us
a fountain of JOY and delight from
which we may draw necessarily in
good times and bad times alike. AS
a divine promise it is a very en-
couraging declaration.
The sense of hunger is the one
human factor that will absolutely
not be appeased by promises or argu-
ments. We can understand that the
wage-earner, in selfish world where
each individual (family) more than
ever must be on the lookout for him.
self, is held in the grip of fear be-
cause of the small margin between
him and starvation. The hungry can
not be fed on stories. When told
of the assurance, expressed in this
story, that there is ample provision
in the world to fill the need of our
wants, they will naturally ask for
proofs Our faith in Christ to tarry
with Him is the only proof that is
needed. Christianity is personal faith
in Christ applied in all walks of life
and against all odds we may be called
upon to face. Proofs mean nothing to
those who refuse to call life by its
own name when they see it.
The fear, think, is justified, at
least in a human sense. No human
agencies such as legislation, social
security enactment, labor unions, etc.,
have been fully able to cope with it.
In our sinister way of calculating
things we sometimes anticipate de-
feat even before we have tested our
ability and our resources. Of course,
it is hard facts that must be dealt
with. If, in family of five, there
is food only for four, we know that
the fifth member must either Starve
or steal, unless there is prevalent in
the attitude of all the members a
congeniality to share what they have,
be it ever so little.
The problem of fear and insecurity
is today, as it has been for ages, the
gravest problem confronting humane
ty. Jesus saw in it the monster that
would constantly make this world,
and life in it, very problematic and
difficult, even selfish and COMPETE
tive, and therefore, as long as fear
remains, we shall have as its conse-
quences, unchristian conduct, war,
hunger and suffering.

Paris green is also a fine cut-worm

five ounces of bran moistened with

the lawn will be better for it.
I could tell you how to kill the
earthworms, but I won't, as the cure
would probably kill many robins and

Flower gardeners are a lucky lor

Flower gardeners are lucky lot!
No hobby is more healthful, more
thrilling, more economical. Whether
you have a two-by-four plot of
ground in your back yard or an
estate that is measured in acres,
flower gardening will take you out
of-doors in healthful sunshine. There
you can fill your lungs with the fresh,
balmy air of springtime. You can
know the thrill of sinking a trowel
into the rich, mellow earth, of plant
ing. seeds and transplanting seed
lings, of watching them grow into a
glorious succession of riotous colors
from early spring until late fall.
You are indeed fortunate to be a
flower gardener.
Beware of Night Raiders.
BY George E. Luxton in Sunday
Tribune and Star Journal.
Our gardens are suffering an un-
precedented invasion of the common
garden slug. The slug is present in
greater numbers at this time than
I have seen for years in this part of
Minnesota, although in gardens have
visited south and east of here they
are common pest.
These slugs belong to an animal
group called the mollusks and are
related to snails and oysters. In fact
they greatly resemble snail with
out shell. They are gray Shiny
creatures, one or two inches long.
During the day they lie hidden
under small stones or leaves and
sometimes just under ground.
1t is at night that they do their
destruction, working on tender leaves
of plants. A few of them in one
night will completely strip foot
high petunia of all its leaves and
blossoms leaving only the harder
stalks. 1t is amazing how quickly
they work.
Often the destruction is blamed
on caterpillars and cut-worms. Last
week neighbor implored me to
come over and look at his window
boxes, (much as would like to I
really don't have much time usually
to act as trouble shooter). We found
no caterpillars, but as soon as it was
dark we found seven slugs rapidly
devouring one petunia.
Another neighbor was having the
same trouble which he thought was
caused by night-crawlers, a HARM
less large earth-worm or angleworm.
Flower plants can be cleaned of
these slugs by spraying with lead
arsenate or bordeaux mixture. Air
slaked or coarse sand around the
plant will also help.
The slugs lay their eggs twice a
year and will soon cause great deal
of trouble in garden unless killed.
The dampness has brought forth
an army of slugs but these are easily
controlled with slices of raw potato
sprinkled with Paris green and placed
under the foliage at night. Remember
any remedy containing Paris green is
a poison so gather it up each morning

Youth Needs Training

School systems are operating un-
der an outmoded and antiquated
theory of preparing youth for voca-
tons, DR.. Edwin A. Lee, director
of the National Occupational confer
ence, told congress of Northwest
educational administrators, recently.
He told his hearers that the pres
ent system for education provides
training for about 40 different occu-
pations, but that the problem of the
school today is to prepare youth for
a greater variety of occupations.
A dictionary Of jobs, he declared,
published by the federal govern
ment, lists about $4,000 possible
means of occupation.

WHEN MOTHER HANGS
HER WASH

How well do remember, when I
was but lad,
when mother put the boiler on to
wash,
She sure accomplished wonders, with
the outfit that she had,
even to my daddy's overalls, b'gosh.
No matter how besmeared, she would
wash them anyway,
till there was not single spot or
speck of dirt.
Seems like hear her singing, as if
twas yesterday,
when wringing out go-to-meetin'
shirt.
There were laces and fine linen, if
recollection serves me right,
that were fiten' for a damsel or a
pope,
She scrubbed them in rain-water till
they were purest white,
with old-fashioned cakes of home
made laundry soap.
The bed-sheets got sousin' along
with sister Mary's dress,
Bills pants were soaked in concen-
trated I've,
If you think that they were ruined
you have got another guess,
as she flung them to the breeze to
get 'em dry.
But such doin's now are over, tho
memory still remains,
the Monday wash-day fingers in
my mind,
Of the wooden tub and wash-board
that removed the worsest stains,
in those happy days that now are
left behind.
Now a patent dasher does 1.-THE
systems not the same,
that brightens up that Sunday
change of mine,
And the old-time zest is lacking with
its gusto and acclaim,
when mother hangs her washing on
the line.
