Burn Fence Bows. The scoursre of chinch bugs is get ting closer every year and all that j can be done should be done to prevent them gaining a hold in this portion of the country. The burning of dry refuse such as the weeds that grow along fense towb, and other dry mat ter in which they must find a place to nest thru the winter will prevent them from accumulating. Geo. Lloyd in speaking about the matter said that he had an idea that the farmers would pay no attention to the warn ing until after the bug had come and then it would be too late. And say, the matter of burning the fense rows would assist in keeping the roads from drifting full of snow and that is worth the work.

Brigg H-M-M-H-H-H-I- Golden Text: Come" over into Mac edonia and help us. Acts 16:9. A Call for Help This generation well knows of the world war; they are well informed as to how it started; they know of its intensity, and also the great cost in lives, treasure and suffering. We are now learning other costs the de moralizing of society, the lack of re ligious sentiment, the increasing ten dency to crime. Last year, it has developed, over 10,000 murders were committed in the United States all of it attributable to the crime wave sweeping the country. A cartoon in one of our metropoli tan papers a few days ago depicted the fact that in London in 1922 there were only 15 murders committed, 12 of which were followed by con viction and the death penalty for the slayers. In New York, the next larg est oitv in the world there were 260 murders committed that year, and only three convictions resulted. We know lax enforcement of the law is responsible for a portion of this and that a vigorous policy of en forcement would to a very noticeable degree minimize the number of mur ders being committed over the coun try daily. However the enormity of crime now staggers our conception of existing condtions. It has been estimated that there will be 11,000 murders committed in the United States during the cur rent fiscal year which will end next July 1st. This is appalling. What .tan be done to stop this gigantic crime wave? i People have no regard for the law. The prohibition law is disregarded; the sanctity of the home is violated, and the marriage relation is held in lightest regard; property is not safe .iron; the hands of murderous villains .and many think it a little thing to debauch your daughter, your sister !or your wife. Crime stalks abroad in the open light of day. I Churches and church people dis cuss questions of church policy; they even quarrel over practices and prin ciples of their respective churches. They search the Holy Bible for some thing to beat the other fellow's logic. when there is but one thing that will cure this sin-sick age. It is not capi tal punishment, by hanging; not the lelectric hair; not life sentences that 'are "life"' sentences and will keep sterilization will do it. but it must he the sterilization wrought by the nslei of je8us Christ, the Son of Gort j jany have taken the "Keeley cure PI1y to lapse into drunkenness aud dcbauchery again. The way to ure OKe.s self from crime jn all its fcriRR is tne nure and unadulterated KOftpei of Christ not some subter- jU?e Paul says. "Walk by the spirit and vp shall nQt fulfill the lusts of the flesh." When one shall love his nelghbor 38 himself, the knotty prob- lem of crime control will have been , d , f gaint revolution was in progress Paul and his three corn- Timothy, Silas and Luke, ies. were looking for a missionary job and they immediately answered the call and carried the jrospel into a new continent.

But, v.ithal, faith m the lowiy Aazarene lias grown and every nation has prospered just in proportion as they have extolled the Christ. Many sins hare been committed by people who have claimed they are Christians, iut none in tne spirit 01 tne master, Saint Paul and his party imme- diately found a place to preach, m the new country and receptive ears for the blessed message which they brought of a crucified and a risen Christ. The first convert was a busi- ness woman, and while she was a silk merchant, after her acceptance of the Christ, following the gospel story of Saint Paul, she always found time pnd opportunity to contribute of her time, her work, her subsistence and herself for the cause of the one who thas given his time, spent his years working, and finally given his life jthat the world might be saved, j Thfa was the frst conversion and ;the first disciple- made in Europe.
