In 'caching the lessons the teacher must tet John’s central purpose and bend ?very lesson to It Happily the writer bus plainly declared It In chapter 20:30, 31. It is twofold. 1. To prove that Jesus Is the Christ, the Son of God. 2. To show that eternal life is to be obtained through faith In Him. With this twofold object before him. John proceeds lawyer-like, to lay down his propositions and then to intro duce his witnesses, one by one. to establish them. The section for obr j lesson Is the prologue to the Gospel according to John,. 1. The Pre-existent Word (vv. 1-4). The Eternal S6n is called the Word of God because He is the expression of God to man. He is the one who utters to men the Father’s will “the only begotten Son which Is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him” (v. 18). Observe: L The Son Is a Person Separate From Hie Father. There is at the same time an Insep arable union existing between them. 2. The Son Is Eternal. He was with God in the beginning. He did not begin to exist when the heavens and the earth were created, neither did He become the Son at His Save the Surface and You Save All “Women are much more beautiful than men.” . “Certainly, that’s natural.” “No, its artificial.” Tom Applegate parked his brand new flivver within ten feet of a policeman, and yet it was stolen!

The subject of pruning cannot be understood until the essential princi ples of the practice are clearly appre hended. It is often said, that pruning is unnecessary; \this is true if one desires to grow brush. If he desires to grow fruit, and particularly good fruit, he must bring about the proper conditions for 'it; and one of these •necesrary conditions is a plant pro perly trimmed, and under control. The only proper*juruning is one that is applied in something like the same proportion every year, and that begins the very year in which the plants are put into the ground. Trees alter nately neglected and heavily pruned are kept in a condition of upset that is likely to interfere with the best sat isfaction in frflit-growing. The aim of pruning is to keep the top open to remove superfluous and interfrering parts, to maintain a size and shape that admits of easy spray ing and fruit-gathering and other la bor, to eliminate diseases and injured branches, to encourage the fruit-bear ing wood. How to accomplish these results is to be determined through your County Agent and by actual practice. A good pruner has “an eye” for the work, and he undertakes it carefully as an artisan skilled in the operation. Pruning is not carpenter ing. It is easy to overdo pruning. It is not primarily the removal of wood, but the working out of a purpose. Pruning is mostly for training in young trees, and “as the twig is bent case but it is that of a Clinton resident. Who could ask for a better example? Mrs. Joe Chandler, 61 Florida St., says: “The: first symptom I had of kidney trouble was bachache. When I swept, sharp pains shot down from the small of my back and fairly drove me wild. I was'-nervous and had pains in the hack of iny head and dizzy spells baptism, for He was before all things j ac hing I am puzzled as to whether or (Col. 1:17). j no t j should give him a Christmas gift. 3.

He Is a being equal with God and one In essence with Him. 4. The Word of God Is the Omnipo tent Creator. By Him were all things made, fce ! world and nil tilings therein.

He Is the eternal fountain from which all life has been derived. do not wish him to think that I expect ed a gift from him. Please advise rite. G. W. * * * If I were you I should not present the young man with a Christmas gift until he gave me one. It is most un wise for a girl to take the first step In these matters. place in the usual commercial planta tion. Pruners should ^ways understand how the fruit-bearing. wod is borne. In the cane fruits—rasberry, black berry, dewberry—the fruit is borne on canes that grew the. previous year; and when this fruit is being born, lither canes are growing from the crown of the plant to bear the fruit the succeeding year.

II. The World’s Attitude Toward the Word of God (vv. 5-13). 1. Men are Insensible to the Pres ence of the True Light (vv. 5-1U). So dense is tlie Ignorance of mankind that tlie presence of tlie very Lord of Glory is unrecognized. Christ not only made the world but was in the world directing and governing the whole creation before tlie incarnation. He is the preserver of all Its forces mid Interests. Being thus unrecog nized, Qod in His grace sent John the Baptist as a witness that all men might believe (vv. 6, 7). God was not willing ihat men- should grope In darkness, so He sent a man with a true testimony to point out that light to them. 2. The , Desperate Wickedness of Man’s Heart (v. 11). The Word was rejected the dun sen nation. They would not receive the one whom Qod had anointed to be their King. 3. Some Received Christ and Thus Became the Sons of God (w. 12, 13). While the nation rejected Him, some Individuals embraced Him and were crowned heirs of Immortal glory. In this section we are shown how men become children of God. It is not by blood relation with the Covenant peo ple “of blood”j (grace is qpt In herited) ; not by the efforts of their hearts, “the will of man; but of God.” The flew birth is God’s work; man cannot change himself, neither can one man change the other. Both ladies should sit in the back seat. (2) The gentlman should get out first and assist the ladies. Dear Miss Flo: When one is writing a letter which is longer than one page, on two or more year’s growth. Peach es • bear on last year’s growth or shoots. In pruning the wounds should be made close to the branch or trunk, and no stubs should be left. Large wounds, of 2 or 3 inches and above, nihy be painted or waxed for protect ion against the weather. In general structure, the tree may be opdb-centered with no leader, should the inside of the note paper , w hich is a favorite form for appl&j, be used, or the outside page. If the j cherry, peach and plum, inside should be used, should the se- j The pruner should remove superflu- cond or third pages be used.

Is it good form to begin a letter “Dear Miss’”—without any name. D. R. * * * III. The Eternal Word Boeamo In-, carnate, “Made Fleeh” (vv. 14-18). 4n these verses we are taught the Eternal Word became the Incarnate Son. The eternal Son of God be came man, born of a woman. He passed through chiidhood and youth into manhood. He was tested; He suffered and died In order that He might become Identtfled with the race and lift It to Christ, and thus restore the broken fellowship. This incarnate Son tabernacled among us. If the letter is longer than one page, the third page should be used. If the envelope is heavy, and not transpar ent, the back page can be used after the first, and then the sheet can be turned xnd written on as if it were one lon^ sheet. (2) The date should never be abbreviated. (3) No, the person’s name to whom you are writ ing should appear jafter Miss. Dear Miss Flo: When invitations for a wedding are being sent out, should one be sent to a person who is in mourning? A. R. * * * Just as a matter of .courtesy, the person who is in mourning should re ceive an invitation. However no of fense should be taken if the person so and badly injured limbs, at least one of the limbs when two cross “and rub, hanging limbs that are much in the way, one of badly forking limbs, and some of the limbs in parts that are much crowded. Pruning is a good way in which to renew neglected orchards, but aside from this, it is often advised that very old and weak trees be rejuvenated by cutting the whole top off and leaving horns or stubs one to three feet long. This may work, but in most cases it is not worth the while. It takes too long, the results are too uncertain, and probably the old tree will not pay for the trouble.
