"The Christian's Use cf Leisure"
Neb. 8:10-17; Mark 6:20-32.
This topic has never before been
studied in the Bible school. It is
forced upon U3, cf the leisure that
lias come to the masses. Machinery
has lessened the hours of labor and
will lessen them more. But we have
come into this happy condition quite
unprepared to utilize it wisely. The
average man cr woman does not
know how to use his or her spare
time to the best advantage. The mat
ter must be studied and the study
must begin with youth. People now
must te educated for leisure as much
as for vocation. All the Scripture
material should be used to solve this
problem, "How to Use Our Leisure."
Lev. 23:39-43; Neh. 8:9-18; Zach.
8:3; Matt. 11:G-19; Mark 6:30-32;
I Ccr. 10:23-33. In the first scrip
ture. Lev. 23:39-43. God enjoins
people to take a eight day vacation.
The Harvest Home or Thanksgiving
festival, during which time the Jews
were to live in booths or tabernacles,
in commemoration of their dwelling
in huts, going through the wilder
ness, and the giving of "Thanks" for
the harvest gathered. The key-note
cf the passage i3 "Ye shall rejoice
before Jehovah your God." That is
the thought which we are to take
Ircm it into our rest and recreation,
we are to rest and rejoice as in the
presence of the Lord, and in such a
way as will please him. Without
him, rest becomes mere sloth and
recreation becomes mere frivolity.
With Lini they become beautiful
preparations tor tne joy oi ceaven,
and the "rest that remained for the
pecpio cf Gcd." (Heb. 4:9). The
second passage, Neh. 8:9-16, teaches
us that our joys, recreations and
pleasures are to be shared with oth
ers; we get only a part cf the profit
ourselves.
All blessings are enlarged by un
selfishness. Sunday is not only a day of rest;
it is a day of exulting in God, and
that is true worship. A3 the people,
under Ezra, read the Bible, they be
came conscious of their shortcomings,
Vut resolved to live up to the law.
This was a great revival, reminding
i:s of great revivals cf former da3s
cf the great outdoor meetings, camp
meetings, assemblies and other great
gatherings.

eternal past and the eternal future;

trust and .play.
In Math. 11:10-19, we see our Lord
watching children at their cports and,
remembering his own childish games.
Jesus watches us while we play. He
knows how wc fee!, and what we
say. If we are bad and cross and sel
fish and hard to please, he knows it
and doesn't like it.
The playground i3 a good place to
show how (unselfish and patient and
kind and gentle we can be. We find
a pleasing picture ia Mark 6:30-32.

they had worked hard preaching.

Jesu3. When he saw how tired and They found the patient confined to
exhausted they were, he suggested a! his bed and not table to get out al-
period of rest. We also are to report
to Jesus. He sands, us to our tasks,
and we are able to c.ome back and
talk it ever with him, all cur suc
cesses and failures. How fortunate
we are in having such ia counsellor
so gentle and patient, so under
standing and wise.
Christ's plan for his disciples
"rest" is one of the many examples
of the kindly thoughtfulness of Jesus;
one of those touches of soft human
ity which bring his life into the midst
of all we knew and love in home.
There are three elements of rest pro
vided for those who are able to gain
leisure communion with outward
nature, true human fellowship and
closer and simpler access to Christ
himself. To sum up the whole mat
ter, St. Paul brings it down to this
one simple sentence: "Whatsoever ye
do, do all to the glory of God." (I
Cor. 10:31).
The Christian has no choice in
the matter; as his life is not his
own, it belongs to him who has re
deemed it he has "presented his
body a living sacrifice, holy and ac
ceptable to God." (Rom. 12:1). He
would not go where Jesus would not
go, nor do what Jesus could not sanc
tion; ever and always would he Eay:
"What would Jesus do?"
Would a Christian disregard the
admonition cf Ps. 1:1: "Walk not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand
in the way cf sinners, nor sit in the
seat cf the scornful?" No! "His de
light is in the law of the Lord, and
In hi3 law doth he meditate day and
night." (Psalm 1:2).
In all joys and pleasures and lei
sure, a redeemed soul will be about
the "father's business," redeeming
the time.

Of our life3 wild, restless sea!
Dzy by day, his sweet voice soundeth

f Bureau Notes
4 Copy furnished from Office
JU of County Agent Waiuscott
Hew to ISakc Ksns Lay?
Maj:y calls have come to the Farm
Bureau office the past two weeks,
asking, "Hew can I get my hens to j
iy :
Of course this is a very timely
ouesticn with erxs celling fcr 24c
1
ner dozen. One cf the reasons fcr tni
iia i
price i3 because too many peop
didn't ark, "How can I make myj
hens lay," two months ago. As a
result cf these calls many field visits I
have been mado by the agent and ;
some of the findings are: Tho old;
hens have laid well during the sum- j
mer and late fall and are now in a ,
molt. They are consuming the feed;
that should be going into some pros-;
ipeetivo good pullets. A hen will lay
cn the average about as many
5SS as a pUnet so the clj hens should
have been given a ride if the pullets
needed the rccm and feed and the
r .vntr did r.ot v.hh to keen them fcr
his heeding pens.
Overcrowded conditions, 'insuffi
cient feed of the right kind and poor
homing facilities are the three chief
roa::or.n why pullets are not laying.
Thin out the less desirable pullets
and old hens that are out of produc
tion and not being kept for breeders
and make plenty cf rcom for the pul-l?-t3.
A hen necs about three r.quare
feet cf ficor epace in the hou;e.
Even though we have more feed
c:i Ca?s county Tarms than we have
had for four years, thousand.! ct
Ihens are going hungry. It is ea.-y
ce that in order to fatten a steer
r a hog, feed has to be kept before
them all the tima and of the fatten
his grandpar-j h kind. The came thing goes for
a h;;r gvje niU3t iy feed at all
J tIme3 and of th3 kind that pro-luce.!
f g2. The more feed you can get into
her system tho mere eggs you get;
out. What she picks up at the grain
elevator and hog lot puts her in the
Fteer class fcr producing fat and not
eggs.
A good ration that i3 economical
iz: Ground corn 20 0 ILs.; ground
oats, 100 lbs.; ground wheat. 100
lbs.; ground alfalfa, 100 lbs.; tank
age or meat scraps, 100 lbs; salt, 10
lbs.
There are many other good rations
but four cf these ingredients are
available on most farms. Bran can
be substituted for the wheat if nec
essary. This ration, kept in good
feeders and plenty of them, will pro
duce eggs when ether conditions are
favorable.
The third reason why pullets are
rot laying is because cf poor hous
ing conditions. A dark, clammy
house will not lend any help to the
hen in purchasing eggs. Many houses
can be easily fixed up by tearing out
the partitions, putting some muslin
or glass frames in front, putting a
straw loft above if tha roof is higher
than S or 9 feet and by banking tne
house with manure, straw or dirt.
Yes, all of these things should
have been done in September but it
is not too late to start yet.
Seedling Trees Again Available.
Farmers in Cass county have or
dered 30.000 trees through the Farm
Bureau and extension service for
windbreaks in the past Cve years.
These seedling trees are again avail
able and every land owner should
make the starting of a windbreak a
part of his ppring program. It is a
real weather protection, fuel saver
in winter, and adds beauty and
homincs.3 to his place.
Practically the same varieties that
were offered last year will he avail
able this Epring, C. W. Watkins, ex
tension forester, says. Though some
red cedar seedlings will bo available
for planting, the distribution of this
variety will be restricted to western
Nebraska in order to help prevent
the spread of cedar rust among apple
tree3.
In tho past six year3 it is esti
mated that Nebraska farmers have
planted approximately twelve mil
lion reedlings for wocdlct and wind
break purposes. Last Jprir.g 930,000
were distributed in practically every
county in the state. Favorable
weather conditions mada ideal grow
ing conditions and tha percentage cf
survival was large.
Tax Primer Available.
Tho first four copies of the Uni
versity of Nebraska tax circular is
availabla at the Farm Bureau office.
Farmers are already calling for this
publication. One office caller Eaid, "I
have found that the other fellow's
views may misleading on the tax
proposition and if we want a change
we need to know what and how the
present system works, eo I want to
study the question myself." .
The circulars will cost 5c each or
50c for the set of 12.

WESGGTT;S
Start a "Fix-It" Club.
Nebraska boys and girla nro to
have a new 4-II club, a cemmittco of
rrkuitural extension agents an
ncunced today. Ths new project wiM
fit in particularly well with the
times, j
Like the content of the new club
ip;i-o.iS, the name of the new project
is to be just a common, everyday rort
of name. For want cf comcthing
mere dignified, the committee decid
ed th-3 new club Lhouid be known as
a "F;x-lt" club.
Ju.:t what the "IT" that is to bo
fined will include, has not been def
iii'tely decided. The committee has
started work cn hundreds of sugges
tions that have come to it. At pres
ent they are looki.:g on nine main
divisions, including repair of farm
an ! farm home equ! mcnt, building?,
cl- thing, house furnishings, removal
of fire and accident hazards, a gen
eral cleanup of the farmstead, pest
control, and home and community
reereaiion.
Cames, stunts, and tricks to pro
vide entertainment for the family
and for smail groups cf people are to
be a definite purt cf the Fix It club
project. The committee felt that re
creation on the farm during the de
pression needs fixing as much as
material things.
Written lessons will include defin
its instruction regarding specific re
pair jcbs. Members and leaders will
have to scratch their heads and use
their ingenuity in working out prob
lems not mentioned in the lessons.
Contrar yto usual 4-11 club custom,
the lessens in the new project will
rot be put out in sequence. Mem
bers and leaders can ctart their ac
tivities at any season of the year and
have plenty cf timely things to do.
The committee hopes to have the
written material completed by the
first of February. This club will be
organized and carried out on the
regular 4-II club basis. It Is de
signed to help give the young folk3
that are through school but just stay
ing at home, comcthing worthwhile
for the winter months. If there are
five or more young people in your
neighborhood why rot get ia touch
with the farm bureau and let them
help you organize a "Fix-It" club.
