Miss Folk taught the primary far two years, and her are delighted that the bar future boms. by John Joseph Gsincs, M D VENTILATION Ventilation in winter is a prob lem of first importance. There is no doubt that ill-ventilated apart ments make for ill-health? Rarely do we find a family now-a-day* without one or more sufferers from respiratory infections. I want to emphasise at the out set however, that warm air does not mean impure air, by any mean:; neither may we look on cold air as always being “fresh air.” One of the essentials of air in the living- room is, that it be comfortable to the occupants; great or sudden variations in temperature may be exceedingly harmful. Circulating air is better than stagnated; the outlet for over heated, or foul air should be at the highest point in the living apart ment; the inlet for out-door air at the lowest. If front doors are opened and closed frequently dur ing days and evenings, plenty of out-door air may be admitted in that way; and, air should be hell .inside, long enough to be wanned by the heating-plant. It is there fore evident that, the outlet for air should be smaller than the opening for intake. 'Hie closed room Is generally to be looked upon with suspicion. No - matter iT it be a public hall, a church, a theatre, or any place used on occasions. Public halls should be treated with formalde hyde two or three times a week; the air.ahould be changed daily. A bedroom should alwavs be left wide open after occupation,—the beti ding thoroughly “aired” and fro . quent sprinklings with a solutio:; of formaldehyde may prevent many a respiratory infection. People know Otoe things, but so mnr.y L Jesus Calls Fcur Men to Follow Him. • 1. Who they were (tv. 16,19). Simon and Andrew, John and James, two pairs of brothers. It is usually! 1 wise to engage In the Lord’s service In fellowship—ftf pairs. This is not only necessary for effective testimony, but for needed fellowship on the part of workers and protection of the wit nesses. 2. From what they were called (w. 16. 20). They were called from positions of definite service. God always chooses His servants from the ranks of the employed.- ' 8. To whst they were called (v. IT). “To become fishers of men.” These men no doubt had been succeseful as fishers. The qualities which made them good fishermen, namely, pa tience, bravery to face the storm at night and perseverance which led them to toll all night, though nq fish were caogbt, would make them good fishers of men. Winning souls for Christ requires great patleuce, brav ery and perseveran<*. Becoming fishers of nlen Is the most Important business In the world. It is the hard est work In the world to do. 4. The cost of obedience to Christ’s call (tt. II, 20). Obedience to Christ’s call meaift sacrifice, painful separation, to give up all business lr;erests and leaYfe their father behind. Regardless of the cost they yielded prompt obedi ence. They pot t:elr trust In Him who called them, betleUng that He was able to supply all their needs. 5. Their reward (v. IT). These four men have wielded won drous Influence In the world. Their names have become Immortalised. Had they remained at their bbsinees they would only have been humble fishermen. II. Matthew iecamaa a Folfower of Jesws (Mk. 2:13-173 Matthew was a despised tax gath erer under the Roman government. For a J»w to fill such a position whs to become unpopular Since they re garded taxes {Mild to the Romnn gov ernment as unlawful extortion, a mem ber of their race engaging in the busi ness of tax collect Ion was to be ex- (MMied to shame and contempt. 1. observe the abruptness of this call (v. 14). Whljc sitting at hts place of busi ness he heard I he call of Jesus. 2. The definiteness of the call (v. 14). It was to follow Jesus. To follow Jesus means to learn of Him and to engage In service for Him. X His Instant decision (v. 14). Matthew did not stop to reason on the question, hut rendered definite and instant obedience. He openly gave op his business and identified himself with the Lord. Happy la the man who baa the good Judnseot to in stantly respond to the call of the Lord even though it may be costly. Mat thew made a feast and invited many of his publican friends to meet Ida newly found Saviour. This had a two fold objective: (1) An expression of grateful appre ciation to the Lord for His saving grace. (2) To bring his former friends and associates Into touch with his newly found Saviour. It is natural for those who have found the Lord to desire to bring their friends into touch with Him. III. Walking at Jesus Walked. The Supreme Teet of Abiding In Him. (I John 2:6). Abiding In Christ means to have ex perienced the life of God In Christ, to have come Into contact with Christ’s personalhv ah’^’ to be con sciously living in fellowship with Him. Christ’s oneness with the Father and His devotioi} to His will is the su preme and grand example. Anyone who pretends to abide in Christ, who la not walking as He walked, is not entitled to the claim of Christian. The walk of the Christian Implies the whole of his life. The reality of our profession la determined b/ the con sistency of our walk. A college authority says college an fail, not for lade of learning, but \for lick of CHARACTER. There is not enough discipline In ’ universities, Dr. Brown tells the Union College Alumni Association- Colleges treat boys from 18 to 23 though they were men, whereas usually they are children. On the other hand the West Point Academy seems to overdo discipline. A first-year cadet, A. J. Van Leeuween, trying to VanJ straight and stiff enough to plc&se his superiors, strained too' hard and broke his jjeck. M Y« Mutt Be Born Again” Wesley, who, It Is said, preached three hundred time* from the words, “Ye must be born again,’’ wjm asked. ’’’Wesley, why do you preach so often on *Ye most be born again’T“ Be cause," said Wesley, “ye most be born FOB RENT.—Four-room cottage ia town of Barnwell, conveniently locat ed to business section; water sad lights—Apply to B. F. Davies, Barn well, S. C. And be ye kind to one another, teo- larted. forgiving one another, as God for Christ's sake bath Young West Pointers, stiff and straight, are fine to seo and grati fying to their superior officers. But it is an agile mind rather than a stiff neck that makes a great sol dier. Napoleon was slouchy, also Frederick the Great Lord Inchespe says raisc'onaries are to blame for the unhcavcl against Britain in China. This calls indignant denials from bish- dps and others. Everybody should know that misisouaries have done girat good, not only spiritually but ma terially in ths Far East, especially iu a medical way. They have taught natives to take care of their oodles *u well as tlieir souls. Some of them, it is true, have made money. The seven greatest sugar fortunes made in Hawaii all belonged to descendants of intelli gent missionaries. But what is there wrong about saving the souls of heathen and making a fortune, honestly, at the same time? One, or ton, talents should not be buried. The Bible says so. Major Coupal, President Cool- idge’s physician, says some Egyp tians had falFe teeth. He has a set found in the Nile mud made < by the Greeks who now sell you fruit and other things. Such teeth were rare. Even In George Washington’s day the mak ing of them was very clumsy. The ancients went through old age without false teeth or eye glasses. No wonder they called old age “the hateful road. 1 ’ » The Egyptian Chamber of Depu ties has psiMed a cotton limitation law, and for three years cotton planting in Egypt will be cut down two-thirds. The Government thipks that the best way to solve low-price problem. Some may starve—but that is part of the game. Hers, thus-far, Government de cides that the best thing to do about cotton fanners is to do noth ing. That also works, sometimes.
