Prepare Soil Early
TN GARDENING an early start
is important. Size up your gar-
den to determine what can be
done to improve the soil.
Spade or plow early. Any soil
is enriched by manure. Clay soils
are improved in texture and
sandy soils are improved in wa-
ter-holding capacity by spading
under manure, rotted leaves or
lawn clippings, or rotted garden
refuse.
| Complete commercial fertilizers
are everywhere available. Ask
your dealer for fertilizer suited
to your soil, and get from him
definite instructions on how to ap-
ply it.
It is important to use fertilizer
cautiously. According to Harold
Coulter, vegetable expert, an ex-
cess is often harmful.
Garden preparation effort is
wasted if you do not plant seeds
from dependable sources. Select
your favorite varieties at the
nearby store before the supply is
depleted. Make sure they are
freshly packed.
In planting, a primary consid-
eration is to have the soil favor-
ably moist—damp, but not wet.

Lesson for January 30
MINISTERING TO SPIRITUAL
NEEDS
LESSON TEXT—Mark 2:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT—Son, thy sins are for-
given—Mark 2:5.
PRIMARY TOPIC—When the House Was
Crowded.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Who Can Forgive Sin?
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—Bringing People to Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
ChrlsUanity'g Concern lor Spiritual Health.
Man is so constantly concerned
Vith his physical nature, the needs
and interests of his body, that he is
prone to forget that there is within
him a spiritual nature which is in
fact his real self. The body which
is the temporary dwelling place of
the soul is most important—but rel-
atively it is of but slight signifi-
cance when considered alongside of
the spiritual life of man.
Our lesson presents the Lord Je-
sus as being rightly concerned with
the needs of the palsied man's body,
but his act of healing was incidental
to the infinitely more important act
of forgiving his sins. Consider him,
for his was indeed
I. A Hopeless Case (v. 3).
Incurably afflicted and helpless
physically, but far more deeply af-
flicted spiritually was this poor
man, for he was still in his sins. No
man was able to heal his body, only
God could heal his soul. He was
indeed hopeless until he met Jesus.
He knows no hopeless case. With
God all things are possible, and
Jesus Christ is God.
We are even as was this man,
for without God we too are without
hope (Eph. 2:12). Let us face the
facts and admit that unless we are
saved through Christ we are eter-
nally and completely lost.
II. Impossible Conditions (vv. 1,
2, 4).
We say that the circumstances
surrounding this man were such as
to make it impossible for him to
reach the Lord, for so they would
have been apart from the spirit ol
divine urgency which impelled his
helpers to cut through every excuse
and brush aside every hindrance.
"Where there's a will there's a
way." Had these men been con-
trolled by convention they would
never have put their friend at the
feet of Jesus. But note that before
taking up the roof they tried the
door. They tried to use the proper
entry, but it was blocked. It often
is—sometimes by customs, some-
times by religious ceremony, often
by vain philosophy.
III. Immediate Conversion (v. 5).
At once Jesus sees their faith and
forgives the man his sins. God al-
ways welcomes and honors faith.
Note that Jesus—who as God had
the power to forgive sins—immedi-
ately cleansed him from all un-
righteousness.
This man's affliction proved to be
his greatest blessing. If he had not
had the palsy he might never have
met the Lord. Suffering properly
borne may be a means of grace.
JTV. Secret Criticism (vv. 6, 7).
What a serious thought it is that
the unspoken word which we think
we have hidden away in the heart
or mind is known to God. "All
things are naked and opened unto
the eyes of him with whom we
have to do" (Heb. 4:13). "There is
nothing hid that shall not be known"
(Luke 12:2). What does the Lord
see when he looks into your heart
and mine?
Their theology was faultless—
their reasoning was logical, but
their premise was wrong. They
were right in saying that only God
could forgive sin. But they were
wrong in assuming that Jesus was
not God, and therefore a blas-
phemer.
V. Miraculous Confirmation (vv.
8-12).
Forgiving sins was harder than
healing the body, but these enemies
of Jesus lived so much in the realm
of the physical that they missed
that important truth. He meets the
challenge of their unbelief by going
into their own limited field of ob-
servation. They were not able to
test the effectiveness of His forgive-
ness of sins. They did not believe
in Him, hence they would not re-
ceive it by faith.
Let us remember that the inci-
dent took place in the early days of
our Lord's ministry. While we do
not condone their hostility to the
tender and loving service of our
Lord to humanity, we can under-
stand their slowness to accept hia
claims to divine power. In our
day we have no such excuse, for
all gospel history is available to us.
God help us that we may not sit in
the seat of the scornful and "de-
mand • sign" before we will be-
iievt.

IN THE sketch at the upper left
you see the pieces of a daven-
port slipcover fitted with seam
lines pinned. The material is
wrong side out as the welt or cord-
ed seams must be stitched from
the inside of the cover.
Before the seams around the
front of the arms are pinned as at
A the arm cover edge of the seam
must be gathered as at B. It is
important to allow just enough
material so the arm cover fits
easily.
The cable cord that is covered
with bias material and fitted into
the seams to make the welt may
be purchased at any notion coun-
ter. The material to cover it must
be cut on a true bias and stitched
in place as shown here at C. The
cording foot attachment for your
machine must be used for this
stitching so the sewing will come
close to the cord. The next step is
to either baste or stitch the cov-
ered cord to one edge of the right
side of the seam as shown here
at D. Then, using the cording
foot again, stitch the seam as
shown. Clip the seam edges
around curves so they will not
draw.
It will be necessary to leave an
opening in the back to be fastened
with snaps. Openings must be
arranged on the underside of the
seam cushions as shown here at E.

"The happiness of men consists

Count Tolstoi.
Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Cold
Millions have found in Calotabs
a most valuable aid in the treat-
ment of colds. They take one or
two tablets the first night and re-
peat the third or fourth night if
needed.
How do Calotabs help nature
throw off a cold? First, Calotabs
are one of the most thorough and
dependable of all intestinal elimi-
nants, thus cleansing the intestinal
tract of the virus-laden mucus and
toxins. Second, Calotabs are
diuretic to the kidneys, promoting
the elimination of cold poisons
from the blood. Thus Calotabs
serve the double purpose of a
purgative and diuretic, both of
which are needed in the treatment
of colds.
Calotabs are quite economical;
only twenty-five cents for the
family package, ten cents for the
trial package.—(adv.)
Cold Potatoes
The man who has not anything
to boast of but his illustrious an-
cestors is like a potato—the only
good belonging to him is under
ground.—Sir Thomas Overbury.
CHEW LONG BILL NAVY TOBACCO
Command of Self
No man is free who cannot com-
mand himself.—Pythagoras.
