THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS. McCONNELLSBUBO. PA. '3J Only About Half the Steer is Beef Live Weight 1200 pound 100 Dreied Weight 672 pounds of Beef When Swift & Company buys a steer weighing 1200 pounds, only about 672 pounds goes to market as beef; the other 528 pounds consists of hide, fats, other by-products, and waste. When the packer pays 15 cents a pound for a steer, he sells the meat to the retailer for about 24 cents. But the packer gets only about 6 cents a pound for the other 528 pounds. This means that the packer gets about 16 cents a pound for all the products from a steer for which he pays 15 cents. The difference of 1 cent per pound covers the cost of dressing, preparation of by-products, freight on beef to all parts of the United States, operation of distributing houses, and leaves a net profit of only about 4 of a cent per pound on all dressed beef sold. Large volume of business and utiliza tion of parts that were formerly wasted, make this achievement possible.

Tho printed text (14 :l-0) mny prof itably be used by the primary, Junior nnd ltitermcdlute grades, but tho adult classes will more profitably confine their study to chapter 13. In order to nvold confusion In this study, let It bo clearly borne In mind that two mat ters are presented the destruction ol Jerusalem by tl o Itomnn armies nnd the glorious return of the Lord. The two are sometimes so closely Inter woven as to make the threads difficult to dlsentnngle, but If we sec the color ing In the graphic picture of the de struction of Jerusalem ns adumbrating tho revelation of the Son of God In glory, we shall have no serious trouble. I. The Occasion ef the Prophecy (vv. 1-4). As Jesus was pnsslng through the temple for the Inst time on bis way to tho Mount of Olives, where he gnve this discourse, the disciples reminded him of the splendor of the building, to which he replied that not one stone should bo left upon another. When seated upon the mount three disciples came privately with a threefold ques tion, according to Matthew 24, request Ing further Information. 1. When shall these things bet 2. What Khali be tho sign of thy corning? 3. And of the end of the ago? Tluit which follows Is given In an swer to these questions. II. The Characterlstlcg of the Age During the Absence of Chrltt (vv.5-23) 1. Appcarunce of deceivers (vv. 5. C). Since .Tesns went back to heaven many false Chrlsts from tlmo to time have pressed their claims as being the Christ. As the ngc draws to n close these claims doubtless will increase. 2. Wars and strife among the na tlons (vv. 7, 8). Tho history of the centuries since Christ Is written In blood, and the river Increases In volume as tho ago goes on toward Its consummation., Jesus warns against making any particular war the sign of his coming. Many good people have seriously blundered In this respect because they did not heed this warning. 8. Earthquakes nnd famines (v. 8). Though these calamities grow In crenslngly severe ns the dnys lengthen, the Intelligent, believing disciple Is not surprised or alarmed, for these are the precursors of a new order, the birth pangs of a new age, the estab lishment of the Kingdom of Christ upon this earth. Let the child of Ood In this present darkness look up, for his redemption draweth nigh (Luko 21 :28). 4. Universal evnagellRm (v. 10). The gospel of the Kingdom, accord' Ing to Matthew 24 :14, shall be prench- ed in n!l the world for a witness. This Is not the Gospel of tho grace of God which we now preach, but tho new evangelism which shall be proclaimed by elect Israelites Immediately pre ceding the coming of Christ to estnb- llsh his Kingdom (see Kev. 7:4-10; Horn. 11 :15). B. Universal hatred of the believing Israelites (vv. 10:13). They shall be severely persecuted. Civil government shall bo against them, and even their relatives nnd near kin KhaD hate, hunt nnd kill them. Their one duty, notwithstanding, shall be to preach the Gospel, depending upon tho Holy Spirit for wisdom and power. For this specific duty they nre sealed with tho seal of God In their foreheads (Kev. 7:3). This will he tho real I'entecost, of which the outpour ing of the Spirit at tho beginning of tho Church was n type (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:10). Eternal salvation is prom ised ns nn encouragement to fidelity (v. 13). It Is the great trlbulutlon (vv. 14-23). Tills Is the consummation of tho ago Immediately preceding the glo rious appearing of Christ. Out of tho missionary propaganda of converted Israel shall eventuate the unpnralellod horrors so glowingly pictured here. I antd's "abominations of desolation" Is tho anti christ, tho "man of sin" (Daniel 0:20, 27; 11:30; 2 Thess., 2:3, 4) will direct this reign of horro. In men's desire for deliverance from this rvlgn of terror they will be easily led nstrny by false Chrlsts who shall pe culiarly appear at this time. III. The Lord's Glorious Return (vv. 24-27). This Is tho superlative event, tho one to which all prophecies have point ed, and all ages aro moving with un failing precision. It will usher In tho golden ngc of which tho wlso nnd great of nil ages have dreamed, and for which they longed. Tho coming of tho Lord will put an end to earth's sorrows; wars and strife will not end until tho kingdoms of this world be come tho Kingdom of our Lord and his Christ (Kev. 11:15). This event will bo accompanied by great physicnl dis turbances and Jesus will gather his elect from the end of tho earth. IV. Applications of the Prophecy (vv. 28-37). 1. As these events multiply In tho earth wo know thnt the coming of the Lord draweth nigh (vv. 28, 21)), as the putting forth of the leaves of tho fig tree prove tho approach of summer. 2. Tho Jewish race shall retuln Its Integrity till the end (v. 30). Tho perpetuity of Israel is the mlr- I nclo of the ages. 8. Certalutj of fulfillment (v, 81), Studying the Bible By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE Extension Department, Moody Bibla Iutitut. Chicago TEXT-Si arch the Bcrlptureg. John 5:39. All Christians should give some time to the study of the Bible and If our study Is to be profitable n cer tain preparation Is necessary. This prepara tion consists first of n heart de termination to rend tho Hook. This Is a funda mental law of I'.llile study, so simple that It Is sometimes set aside, to our great loss. There Is no way of under- ......wit.... 4t. W except us we read It and rereud It nnd reread It. It re quires n heart determination to do Unit, for our threefold enemy will rise up nnd say "no" when wo at tempt to read the Hook. The world will say "You aro too busy" or you will think "There nre too many Important things requiring my time to use It reading the Iilttle." Slimy look to the preacher to give them their spiritual food. The Lord does give his people pastors but tho pastor's study can never take the place of one's own Individual study. The world will do what It can to op pose the rending of the Hook. The world has a subtle ability to fill our lives so full of seemingly Important things, will bring so many crowding opportunities for the use of our time that we need a heart determination to make time for Itihle reading. The flesh will also oppose It We become so tired physically. It Is a remarkable thing that ono enn sit down with an Interesting book nnd be come so absorbed In It as to rend far Into the night and not feel sleepy. Kut how quickly the flesh wants to sleep nnd how the head nods when we would reud the lilble for on hour or two In the evening. The devil also will hinder If he can. lie will suggest the difficulty of understanding what we rend; will say the Illble is a closed book to our minds and do oil he cun to bring dis couragement I'.ut If we nre to come to an understanding of the truth and keep our souls strong und healthy, we must read and rerend the Book Itself. Not books about the lilble, nor ex positions by man, but the lilble itself. In the second place, we must have a heart determination to allow the Book to mean what It soys. We must permit It to define Its own terms. We must make It explain Itself. It will answer questions concerning the words and terms It uses. We go to the Bible unconsciously prejudiced. We think we know the truth and naturally suit pose what the Bible says ought to agree with our thought. If It does not agree we are In danger of forc ing Into It our own Ideas rather than let It mean whut It says. We come to It too often for confirmation Instead of Information. I do not mean that one shall determine to accept nil it says ut once, nor to believe nil It says at once, but I in can that we shall al low It to mean what it says und to deflno its own terms whether that agrees with us or not And soon we will find thut we ugree with It. In this wny much confusion will be avoid ed. In the third place, there must be n heart determination to allow It to speak to oneself. If I am to study tli6 Illble profitably I must allow It to spenk to me nnd not try to dodge. We are all more or less adept ns spiritual dodgers. The Incident, recorded In the fourth chapter of St. John is a very human picture. Our Lord en gnges the woman lu conversation. She Is hesitant about It because It Is a strange thing for n Jew to speak to a Samaritan, but she enters Into the conversation. Gradually our Lord goes n little deeper Into her history until finally he puts Uls finger on the sore spot. She tries to escape the Issue by attempting to sidetrack htm. The mo ment he gets his finger on the sore spot, she says "Our fathers worshiped In this mountain and ye say thut In Jerusalem Is the pluce for worship." That sounds religious and Interesting, but It Is a mere subterfuge to avoid tho Issue. We will do that In our minds to dodge what the Book says tJ us personally. It Is dlllleult to allow tho Book to spenk to our own hearts but Bible study Is valueless and Indeed danger ous unless It is allowed to bear fruit In our lives. It cannot be studied merely us literature. This then Is tho needed preparation fur profitable Bible study n heart determination to read tho Book to allow It to mean what It says and to penult It to speak to our own hearts. INCREASE IN WESTERN CANADA LAND VALUES But Forty and Fifty Bushels of Wheat to the Acre. During the past year there has been a greater demand for farm lands in Western Canada than for a number of years past. The demand Is for good fnrm lands Improved or unimproved. And at un Increase of from ten to fif teen dollars nn acre more than the same lands could be hud for a couple of years ugo. The rise In the price of every kind of produce grown on these Western binds, in some cases to double and in others to treble the price prevailing be fore 1014, have attracted nnd nre ut trnctlng in ever-Increasing proportions the men who are anxious to Invest their money, nnd apply their energies In the production of wheat for which tho allied nations are culling witn voices which grow louder nnd more anxious ns the months roll on, nnd the end of the war still seems distant. Beef, and more espoclolly bacon, nre required In ever greater quantities, and the price of nil these things has sonrd, until it Is not a question of what shall we produce, tint how much can we produce. Even should this world calamity be brought to n close In- six months from now, It will be yenrs before normal pre-war prices prevail, nnd meantime self-interest if not patriotism Is turning the minds of thousands bnck to the land. The in evitable consequence has been the rise In vulues of hind, especially wheat land. The Calgary Herald, commenting on these conditions suys: "From Inquiries made from lending dealers In farming und ranching prop erties, and from the Information gath ered In other ways, It is known thut the value of all land wheat land, mixed farming properties, nnd even good grazing land has risen In the Inst two yenrs 40 per cent. Wheat lands In some districts hnve practical ly doubled In price. One dealer In fnrm lands recently sold three sections for $70 an ncre, one extra good qunr ter went ns high ns $00, and nnother brought $100. These nre, of course, large prices, but that they will be equaled or even surpnssed In the nenr future Is beyond question. There Is a feature about this rush to the hind from which (he most solid hope can be drawn for the success of the move ment The proper tillage of land, to produce large crops In a climate like otirs Is now understood nnd practiced ns It never was In the early days of the province. It would seem too thnt with the Increase of land under culti vation, the seasons nre changing and the rainfall becoming greater and more regular. "Crops are being harvested, especial ly In Southern Alberta, which would have seemed Impossible to the old-time farmer, with his old-fashioned ideas of breaking and seeding. And nt the price now set by tho government for wheat and which possibly may be In creased during the coming season, the return to the practical skilled agricul turist must necessarily be very large. "Whnt matters $10 or even $20 nn ncre extra on wbent land when a re turn ns high ns 50 bushels nnd even more mny be taken from every ncre own? With hogs bringing $20 n hun dred pounds; beef on the hoof nt $12, nnd mutton $10, while wool under the new government arranged system of handling nnd sale brings 05 cents n pound (and these values cannot fall to any great extent for some yenrs) the demand for land will continue and vulues Increase In a corresponding de gree. "There has never been In the history of Canada n time so favorable for the farmer ns the present ; self-Interest, the Inspiration of patriotic feeling, the nld freely extended by tho govern ment, who nre permitting the Import of certain agricultural Implements free, all these tend to still further raise the price of Alltertu land." Advertisement THAT CHANGE IN WOMAN'S LIFE Mrs. Godden Telle How If May be Passed in Saf ety; . and Comfort. Selecting a Farm. In n recent examination of eight grade pupils, on the subject of agricul ture, the question was asked: "What nre the principal things to bo considered In sebetlng n farm?" One youngster answered emphatical ly, but with ouestlonable spelling: "You must get good ground. Don't get ton much clay soli. And good niildluL'son the farm, nnd n good fensc and n good well and no large hill on It. You must get n cattle barn to. And clnst to town and cl jst to road.

If the- nation Is nt wnr to make, ns tho presl dent says, "the wifrlil safe for democ racy," may I not sny thnt it Is tho clinch's mission nt nil times to labor, In the words of another, "to make de mocracy safe for the world?" For de mocracy Is a great force, nnd like nil other forces may become n very dan' genius power. It, too, must become consecrated by the divine spirit to the service of nil mankind, of all clnsses nnd nations of men. That consecrn lion Is the church's responsibility. Tho Bishop of Gc irgln.
