GAME WARDEN FAvoRs
$3.50 LICENSE

State Game Warden LeCompte is
reported favoring a change in the
hunting license setup in the State,
doing away entirely with the coun-
ty-resident license, and sell only q
Statewide license at $3.50 to be
purchased by every resident Of the
State who wishes to hunt. Non-resi-
dent licenses would be continued.
Warden LeCompte believes that In
this day of rapid transportation
with the automobile the $3.50 Ii
cense, permitting the holder to hunt
anywhere In the State, would en-
courage more people to hunt out Of
their own counties. In addition it
would equalize the cost Of the priv
ilege Of hunting for every resident
Of the State. Baltimore hunters now
must purchase Statewide license
at $3.50. The resident of any coun-
ty may buy license to hunt in his
own county ct $1-25.

tinued uninterruptedly for more

NEWS IN THE WORLD
OF RELIGION
BY w. w. Reid

Because the publishing of Bibles
has come to a practical standstill on
the European continent, while the
bindery of the British and Foreign
Bible Society, in London suburb,
has been destroyed by an incendiary
bOmb-with the loss of not only
stock, but of most of the machinery
1.-The American Bible Society is busy
with emergency projects" to meet
some of the calls coming from all
parts of the world. Recent under
takings of the Society include 13O,-
Spanish Bibles, 10000 New Testa-
ments and 10000 gospels in Rus
sian, $4,000 Gospels of st. John for
Greek war prisoners, 900 pulpit
Bibles for American army chapels.
10000 Bibles for southern France,
and the reprinting of the Slovak
Bible.
The President of the United Stat
es, by act of Congress, is to be hon
orary chairman of the Muhlenberg
Bicentennial Commission which In
1912 will celebrate the two hum
dredth anniversary Of the arrival in
America of Ds. Henry Melchoir
Muhlenberg. DR.. Muhlenberg planted
the Lutheran Church all along the
eastern coast of the United States,
and organized the many scattered
churches of the faith which had
been organized in America even
prior to 1742. His family gave
America many of its outstanding
early religious leaders, including
DR.. William A. Muhlenberg, Pro-
testant Episcopal clergyman, and
founder of the noted st. Luke's Hos
pital in New York City.
The Board of National Missions
of the Presbyterian Church in the u.
s. A. has made twenty grants total
ing more than $4,000 from spec
ial emergency fund to help churches
adjacent to defense industries to
help care for new situations that
need added building or added min
isterial or teaching personnel. In
some cases specially trained workers
have been provided for limited per-
iods; in other cases whole build
ings have been remodelled so that
they can care for the religious needs
OF defense workers, their families,
and especially their children.

Divine Assurance

A DICTIONARY defines "assur-
"A ance," in part, as ''firmness of
mind; steadiness; intrepidity;
courage; confidence" How greatly
mankind needs Spiritual assurancel
Is it possible of attainment? If SO,
whence and how may it be obtained?
If the assurance of good, of a SUI
preme power, has been gained by
even one individual, does not this
fact give promise of the possibility
that everyone can gain the true con-
cept of spiritual supremacy?
Christ Jesus maintained divine as
surance throughout his ministry.
Among others who have emulated the
Masters example was the Apostle
Paul. As recorded in the Acts of the
Apostles (8:1, 81, Saul, who had con-
sented to the stoning of Stephen.
"made havock of the church, enter
ing into every house, and haling men
and women committed them to
prison." Later, through the illumina-
ton of the Christ, Truth, realizing
the wrong that he had done, just as
assiduously as he had let himself
be a tool for evil designs Paul be-
came an advocate for the supremacy
and infinite power of God, divine
Love, as revealed and exemplified by
Christ Jesus, the Way-shower.
The practically of Paul's divine
assurance is shown in the incident
recorded in the sixteenth chapter OF
Acts, in which Paul and Silas, being
prosecuted and lashed with many
stripes, were thrust into the inner
prison, their feet made fast in stocks.
Did they indulge self-pity, fear, re-
venge? No, they made Of their plight
an opportunity to realize their di-
vine right to peace and safety. At
midnight they prayed, and sang
praises unto God" (Acts 16:25). What
perfect assurance they had gained
from their obedience to God through
following Christ Jesus example!
Their experience recalls a message
expressed in these comforting words
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 99):
Ellis tender love and watchful care
Shall free thee from the fowler's
snare,
From every harm and pestilence."

"At our farm we have q peak capac-
ity for 5000 layers" he says. Twelve
years ago it was decided that too much
Of our laying house space was wasted
the latter half Of the laying year, our
pullet rearing equipment was empty
too much of the year, and that our
chick brooding equipment was useless
ly standing idle for months at time.
Too, labor wasn't being used efficiently
or economically"
Year round brooding and rearing OF
pullets was suggested and has been
practiced successfully ever since, MAX
ing it possible to keep our laying houses
filled to capacity.
To prove that summer and fall
started pullets are profitable, johnson
has production and gross income flg-
ures on broods Of chicks started In
four different seasons at the Purina
Experimental Farm. These figures In
clude the average egg production pei
bird during the first laying year, and
the value Of these eggs figured on pre-
vailing middlewest Eat the farm" prices
furnished by the q. 8. Department Of
Agriculture:
The midland journal., 1942-01-23

"These figures show that chicks
started in the spring are no more
profitable than those started at other
seasons" johnson asserts. mo one
seems to be able to give a sound rea-
son why this shouldn't be so. Brooding
costs are slightly higher for fall
Matched chicks, but lower costs for sum-
mer chicks helps balance the brooding
cost for the entire year. Fall-hatched
chicks usually have the advantage Of
going through their first year Of pro-
duction without molting."
On the basis of Pllrina Experimental
Farm results, and using q. 8. D. A.
10-year average egg prices, he esti-
mates that the yearly income per 100
hen capacity can be increased approx
imately $85 by starting four broods Of
chicks per year over the old-style plan
Of starting one brood year.
