I wondered that such peace could be, But Faith said gently, “Don’t you see, They really cannot live with me ” —Copied. The Valley of Silence “Go thou into the silence: there shalt thou find thy true self . • . and God. o I I walked down the valley of si lence, Down the dim, voiceless valley alone; And I heard not the fall of a foot step Around me, save God’s and my own; And the hush of my heart was as holy As hovers where angels have flown. II Long ago I was weary of voices. Whose music my heart could not win; Long ago I was weary of noises, That fretted my soul with their din; Long ago I was weary of places Where I met but the mortal or sin. 111 I walked the world with the worldly. But T craved what the world nev er gave; And I said: “In the world each ideal, That shines like a star on life’s wave, Is found on the shores of the real, And sleeps like a dream in a grave.” . THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS IV And still I pined for the perfect, ; And still found the false with the true— j I sought, mid the human, for heaven, But caught a mere glimpse of it’s blue; And I wept when the clouds of the mortal, Veiled even the glimpse from my view. V And I toiled on here, tired of the human, And moaned mid the masses of men, Till 1 knelt a while ago at an al tar, And heard a voice call me: —since then I’ve walked down the Valley of Silence, That lies far beyond mortal ken. VI Do you ask what I found in the Valley? ’Tis my trysting place with the Divine; 1 fell at the feet of the Holy i And softly a voice said ‘‘Be Mine ; , And there rose from the depths of my spirit An echo, “My heart shalt be Thine.” VII Do you ask how I live in the Val ley ? I seek. I believe and I pray j And my tears are as sweet as the dewdrops That fall on the roses in May; And__ my prayers like perfume from a censer, Ascendeth to God, night and day. VIII In the hush of the Valley of Si lence T dream all the songs that I sing; And the music floats down the dim Valley, Till each finds a word for a wing. That to men like the dove of the deluge, The message of peace they may bring. —Selected. The above is to be used as my autobiography expressed in poe try. Mrs. C. E. Annis. March 27, 1930. OUR SHORT SERMON o My heart is glad and rejoices for I have accepted God’s prom ises to help me in every need. We know that God loves us, that it is our divine birthright to be healthy and to have all the comforts of life, but do we act ually accept the promise “I . • . will heal him,” do we actually de pend on the promise “I will lead him also, and restore comforts un to him”? Accepting God’s promises is more than knowing these truths with the mind • it is knowing them with every cell and fiber of our being, with every beat of our heart. Accepting- God’s prom ise of healing is to know- that His life is our life and that we cannot be anything other than strong, vital, and well. Accepting God’s promise of guidance and supply is to know that He is the guiding light of our life and that as we look to Him we make only wise and just decisions, that for every need He has the supply. Accepting God’s promises is knowing that God and we are act ually one. I . . . will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him.—lsa. 57:18. Lt. Jollay Visits Parents o Lt.

Tests have shown that irradiated birds have a tendency to level out the peaks and valleys of the egg laying season with the gain reach ing to 15 per cent, most of which comes during the winter months. The greatest use on the poultry farm has been in the brooding of chicks. It has been proven that not only has mortality been greatly re duced by the application of bac tericidal lamps, but that vigor and gain in weight of the chicks has been materially improved. Even when the lamps are kept op erating over the roosts all night, the hens rest perfectly, and gain in general health. The lamps have been given thorough tests on indi vidual poultry farms and tests are now being conducted at various state experimental stations. These invisible bullets of light, sprayed by the sterilamp ultraviolet tube, has given the poultry raiser a new weapon to fight his present high rate of mortality. Agriculture In the News W. J. DRYDEN While a method of extracting sug ar from sugar beets was discovered by a German chem t pn 1 ist in 1774, it was I x<yr\ J not until 1870 that the first successful factory was built in States. A new hybrid 'UJagraL promising 20 per cent increase in yield, and the pill form of sugar beet planting, prom ises to place postwar sugar beet raising on a profitable basis. The pill's coating contains fertilizer and insecticide, with the seed in the cen ter. Among the uses of sugar beets and their by-products are galaetu ronic acid, citric acid, carbonate of lime, rubber, road base, bombs, powder, plastics, penicillin base! medicines, adhesives, alcohol, elec trodes, castings, textile, varnishes, radio tubes, and the Nazis made for tification cement from the pulp.

Quick Blood-Building By the feeding of abundant ribo flavin or vitamin 82, in addition to ample protein, iron, copper and the B-complex vitamin known as py ridoxine, it is possible to effect re markably quick recovery from the type of anemia of livestock caused by hemorrhage, according to work at the University of Wisconsin. In the past, it has taken from six to eight weeks to regenerate the blood after hemorrhage, or even after transfusion.

Wrapping screen wire, veneer, or roofing paper around t trunks will prevent this damage. Michigan State Agricultural College has this to say: Those w o desire to protect trees from rab hist may find that mixing seven pounds of resin to one gallon of ethyl alcohol will provide a mix ture that will protect trees from rabbits. The resin is pulverized and mixed with the alcohol and let stand for twenty-four hours in a warm room. No heat should be applied, as this not only is dang erous but will drive off enough alcohol to alter the composition of the mixture. One gallon of this has been found to be sufficient to treat 150 to 200 two-year-old trees and can be applied with a small paint brush.
