THE HEN-MAN 95 By R. H. WILKINSON Hell Syndicate.?WNU Service. THERE exists in America a certain type of person who. born and raised in a city apartment, possesses what is known in the vernacular as a yen to own a small place In the country, firmly believing that he can buy a few chickens, raise a few vegetables and live there, commuting to and from his metropolitan job, for about one-third the cost of existence in his city apartment. This is a splendid idea, especially that part about living one-third as cheaply as in the city. It has its other advantages* too. There is. for example, the matter of fresh air, fresh dairy products, plenty of space to move around in, freedom from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's a pity that the plan hasn't, can't and never will be developed profitably. I mean the moving-to-the-country bug. Steve Holton was attacked by the bug. Steve had become fed up on city life. He was a bachelor, young and handsome, and was forever chasing about from party to tea to dinner, to theater, or any other of the dozen places where handsome and eligible young bacnelors are welcomed. Steve was fed up. lie wanted a breath of fresh air: wanted to get up with the sun, drink in the crisp morning air, tend to the viuvKciis unci eaten cne i :;>u train to town and hi* broker's office. lie wanted to spend his evenings routed comfortably before a cozy Are, get in some good reading, go to bed, at nine o'clock and sleep the sleep of the just. Also, he wanted to economize. The cost of living in town wasn't giving Steve much of un opportunity to save for rainy days. This plan of Steve's was swell. Too bad it couldn't work. Steve talked the idea over with Jim 31cDevitL Jim had tried the same thing once, hut far some unknown reason was buck in his city apartment. .1 iin approved of Steve's idea without a moment's hesitation. "Croat scheme. You'll like It. Steve, out there. Fine way to live. Fact is, ] i ll have the missus buy her eggs from you. You can bring them in every morning. Help you get started." Sieve's dreams soared. Ho pictured himself laying aside a tidy sum from the profits on his eggs. Hood scout, 31m. Steve also called on Rus Whltcomb. litis and his wife had tried the llvingin the-country Idea. too. And Uus, like Jim, approved and applauded. Sure, he'd buy all the eggs Steve could raise. Fresh eggs from the country! Boy, nothing could be better. latter that same night Jim McDevitt called Uus Whltcomb on the telephone and the two of them held a gleeful conversation. So old Steve had got the bug, eh? Well, let him find out for himself. Won't do him any harm to get stung. He'd never rest till he got the craving out of his system anyhow. Resides, It was comforting to know there were other fish grabbing at thai same live-cheaply-ln-the-country bait. On the following Sunday, Steve chartered a drive-yoor-own car and motored out In the country. Along toward mid-afternoon he chanced upon a little place in the town of Medvale that seemed to suit his exact purpose. There was a white house with green Winds and a picket fence around the front lawn, in which a half dozen shade trees reared themselves. Behind the house there was a barn, several outbuildings and a rather large henery. Steve hunted op the owner and wai astonished and delighted to discover the place could be rented for less than one-half of what he was paying at his present apartment. He sowed the thing up at once by making a substantial deposit and signing a six months* lease. A month later Steve was established in his new abode apd tremendously happy. Two dozen Rhode Island Red chickens clucked contentedly In the heneryShrubs had began to flower and the hade trees were bursting forth their buds. Ah, yes, Steve was far happier than he ever dreamed he could be. He was going to bed eerly, getting up early, reading a lot and learning a u ' feathers and pick each other. Freshl; pulled feathers have a slight saltiness | but the blood has more. To stop thi feather pulling and picking, says a cot respondent in the Uural New Yorkei hang a piece of fat pork low enougl ' for the hens to reach it?two or thre pounds for a flock of 30 to 40 hensp and keep water by them all the time ?

GOLDEN TEXT?1 have showed you all thing*, how that ac laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember i.h? words of the Lord Jesus, how he said. It is more blessed to give than to receive.?Acta 20:35. PRIMARY TOPIC?A Poor Rich Man. JUNIOR TOPIC?Giving Jesus First . Place. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?The Right Use of Money. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?Stewardship of Possessions. The lesson title Is likely to be mis* understood and the teaching misapplied. Jestis did not directly, nor by i Implication, tench that eternal life : can be obtained by parting with possessions. In his dealing with the young man. Jesus showed him his erroneous notion as to personal goodness and endeavored to reveal unto him his own essential nature. I. A Certain Young Man Came to Jesus (v. 10). ! For a full view of the characteristics of this man see Mark 10:17-30 and l.uke 18:18-30. 1. His virtues. a. Courageous (Mark 10:7). Fie was of high standing, a rich young ruler (Luke 18:18. 23). To come to Jesus at this time meant to this young man ! ostracism from national fellowship. II required rea! courage. I | b. Earnest (Mark 10:17). lie came and knelt before Jesus. ? i c. nign aspirations (v. 10). Ho wanted eternal life. There was an I aching Told In his soul In the tiihlst t of pleasures which affluence brings. . I d. Pious and uioral (v. 20). From youth up he professed to have conj formed to God's holy law. e. He believed that .lesus could Inj form him of the "good thing" to be done to inherit eternal life. M *2. Mis mistaken notions. . J a. About Christ (v. 10). ne es, teemed Jesus to be good but did not , apprehend hira to be God. : | b. Concerning himself. He was selfl righteous. He thought he was good i and that he could do something good. , c. Concerning eternal life. lie thought that eternal life could be ob, talned by good works. II. Christ Dealing With the Young , Man (tv. 17-22). 1 Jesus skillfully led the young man k to see his errors and then put his k finger on the weak spot in his life. > 1. Jesus' question (v. 17). "Why j calleth thou me good?" Without giving him a chance to answer he dej clared that only God was good, as If ; to say. "I am good and therefore 1 am God." j 2. Jesus' answer to the young man's i question (vv. 17-20). "If thou wilt en9 ter Into life, keep the commandments." I Jesus here met him on his own ground, ? namely that of the law. The law re? veals sin and thus shuts the mouth of a self-righteous sinner (Rom. 3:10). I The law curses Instead of saves (Gal. | 8:10). The gospel was given to save # I men from the curse (Rom. 1:10, 17). g , 3. Christ's command (v. 21). Replying to Christ's citation of the comt ! mandments of the law the young man B glibly asserted that he had kept them t all from his youth up. In Christ's y 1 command to go and sell his possessions and distribute them to the poor, ^ he put his finger upon the weak spot 4. The young man's decision (v. 22). He decided against Christ. In the su^ preme test he chose his wealth. e III. The Relation of the Rich to the Kingdom of Heaven (vv. 23-20). This teaching concerning the peril 'a of riches was most timely. Covetoust nets was fast taking hold of the people. Judas was well under Its sway, 1. It Is difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom ( . 23, 24). Thij difficulty lies not In the possession ol ii j riches but In trusting riches. The step !- from possession to trusting Is a verj i- short one. Riches are deceitful (Matt - 13:22). The tendency of Increasing 3 wealth Is to destroy the nobler life ol 8 the soul. It lulls Into security (Rev t 3:17); It leads to self-indulgence (1 r Tim. 6:2), and to pride (Ezek. 23:3) J Entrance of the rich Into the king dom la possible though difficult (tt 23. 26). It Is possible for the grace el God a. To sanctify ricbee. t b. To ao open a man's eyes that hi may see his downward course and re pent s c. To change a man from self-seek tng to self-sacrifice, d. To make men humble. n IV. Rewards for Following Chris d (rr. 27-30). ,t Those who turn their hecks opoi d their country and possessions fot a Christ's sake shall receive a hundred fold to this life and eternal life f? the world to come. ? Page Three Claim Paper Violin I* of Superior Quality A violin made from the gummed paper used in orthopedic appliances has been shown in Vienna, and It In claimed that it possesses a tonal quality comparable to instruments made from selected woods by the host Italian craftsmen. The acoustic properties of the gummed paper were accidentally discovered during the manufacture of orthopedic appliances and the violin was made as an experiment. While it Is possible to construct easily enough from paper an instrument rigid enough to permit of use as a violin sounding hoard, the purity of tone could not be gauged without a test. Popular opinion regarding | the nature and qualities of woods employed in old violins have recently been controverted by scientific tests. Kven trained musicians cannot readily distinguish between the notes obtained from a "Stead" and other highly prized makes when properly tuned and played.
