The lesson text is one of the
most beautiful of New Testa
ment stories and the record of
one of Christ’s appearances aft-
' er the resurrection.
It was the afternoon of the res-
' arrection day when two disciples
. en their way from Jerusalem to
jCrrmiaus wefe overtaken by a
, stranger who fell into their
stride and walked with them. It
was natural that they talked of
1 the wondrous happenings that
i day in Jerusalem. The eyes of
the two disciples “were holden
J that they should not know” Jesus.
They told the stranger of their
* vanished hopes, of the dreams
fthat had fled when Jesus was
crucified. The stranger listened
T attentively, then, rebuking them
- lor being “slow of heart" to
'understand the scriptures, began
1 with Moses and expounded all
: die things concerning the Mes-
t siah.
r As any stranger would have
jinne, Jesus, when the home of
T the disciples was reached, '
1 “made as though he would go
4 farther." But they urged him
; to turn in with them, and when
. they sat down to meat, Jesus was .
r known to them in the breaking of
4 bread. And immediately Jesus
* vanished out of their sight.
J It is significant that Jesus ap-
* peared unto those who were
\ thinking about him. So may you
tand 1 think much of Jesus that
* cur minds may become fit places
for the presence of Jesus.

Garden Work
For
April
most important result of
producing vegetables on the farm!
is the improvement which may be'
expected in the health and food
habits of the family—not the
■wing of money spent for those
applies. Medical "authorities and
food specialists say that to be
laalthy and strong and active one
should eat plenty, of fruit and
'REjstables.
Hints .
Do not allow tomkto plants to
Etov long legged. Transplant them
toother boxes or frames and give
xoom to become stout-stemmed
sod stocky. If well hardened they
soay be set in the 4 open ten days
esxlier.
In setting tpmato plants do not
follow the old rule of setting only
as they stood in the seed bed.
This is not deep enough. A good
tomato plant is about eight inches
Don the root to the top, and a-
bout as large as a lead pencil.
Jklants set in this manner will
h^ve root enough to resist drought,
besides roots will come along the,
part of the stem that is under the
ground.
i^ariy kinds of vegetables that
were planted in February and
March, such as beets, cabbage, 1
carrots, cauliflower, Kale, lettuce,
mustard, peas, spinach, etc., need
to be cultivated • fiequontly and 1
thoroughly and should be given a
aMe dressing of nitrate of soda.
Shatter this between the rows
without getting it on the plants. 1
Cultivate the ground with a wheel
hoe. -
You can kill as many weeds and
pulverize as mudh eru^t In an hour
with a wheel hoe as you can in at
least three hours .with an old-
fxshioned weeding hoe.
In order that an. unbroken sup
ply may be had, ipake another
planting of the vegetables planted
during March. Beets from seed
may be transplanted when they
are too thick and missing places
filled or new rows set.
Make Plantings Npw of the Fol
lowing vegetables:

Only player likely to beat Ty
Cobb's all-time batting records
is Ted Williams. In his four
seasons with the Red Sox he has
piled up an aver
age of .356, only
11 points shy of
Cobb’s figure.
Ted is only 27,
with at least ten
years of league
ball ahead of
him. He stands
6 feet, 3 inches,
: :M weighs 180
pounds.
Ted Williams Ted is aiming.
.at a .400 aver
age. “When you are shooting at
a target, why not pick the top
one?" he queries. “I still think
I am toe greatest hitter base
ball has ever known. I’m work
ing on my hitting all the time.
The minute I am satisfied with
what 1 am doing, that means I
am over the hill. I don’t care
what I hit—I want to do better.
No one can afford to stand pat
and be satisfied."
The New York Giants paid
$25,000 for Monty Kenedy, 23-
year-old southpaw, from the
Piedmont League. . . . After
grooming him for the first team
all through the training season,
they have decided he is not yet
good enough, and have sent him
to one of their minor league clubs
for seasoning. New York race
tracks will require a movie of
every race from start to finish
this season. . . . The intention is
to discourage fouling and other
forms of crookedness.
Three American soldiers
competed in the internation
al winter sports in Switzer
land. . . . They were skiers.
. . . While they didn’t win,
they made a good showing
by placing 13th, 14th and
15th. The first six-day bi
cycle race since the war be
gan will be staged in Chicago
April 28 to May 4. Snch big-
name pedalers as Torchy
Peden, Jules Audy, Erwin
Pesek and Tino Reboli will
compete in the grind.

From 1919 to 1925 Passiac high
school won 159 games in a row.
They averaged 60 points a game.
