S. writes: sketch of a handy device which saved me several dollars when I needed a large V-belt pulley. Any one who needs a large V-pulley and who is handy with a welder can make one from two discarded disc harrow blades by cutting the center Following is a AF/tUO OIS* BLADE "O' I I i ! w H-555 DISK BLADE'A" HANDY V PULLEY from one blade and welding the re maining ring on the reverse side of the other blade, as shown in the dia gram. It can then be welded to a hub that fits the shaft to be di'iven. For a smaller pulley, simply cut a smaller circle in the first blade." Note by I. W. D.—Sure a very smart idea. Would probably be easier to get a good fit on the shaft by welding the large pulley to the side of a smaller V-pulley, and thus make a double V-pulley. SMALL GARDEN WEEDER F. D. writes: 'Here is a handy garden weeder we made from an old kitchen fork by bending the tines as shown and sharpening the edges or 0(/r&z>£ 77n/£S m of the outside tines for cutting weeds. I use the weeder to pull out weeds from carrots, beets and so on, and it will get weeds out close as with one's fingers. It sure saves my hands and finger nails."

M. writes: "When grain sacks need fixing, I patch them with over all material I make a thick paste of flour and water, put the pieces on the wrong side of sack, and then press with hot iron until dry. This will last years if they don't get wet." PLANT SETTER and point the end. It saves time and trouble and does away with blisters." PATCHING GRAIN SACKS Thoughts on Life Practical Results Of Christianity By DR. JOHN HOLLAND MOST OF US remember the Ara bian Nights stories. Aladdin's lamp was fascinating for our childhood days, but the electric lamp is bet ter for driving away the darkness of night. In a similar way, we are trying to get away from the realm of magic to the realm of practical fact in our re ligion. We are trying to find out what part of our religion will work best in the practical tests of every day living. Love, sympathy, help fulness and kindness are the fruits of the Unseen Spirit of God. There will always be mystery. We see but a little way into the realm we call supernatural, and often we quarrel about what we do see. I often think that Christianity has stressed too much the human doc trines by which we seek to under stand the Infinite and dwelt too little upon what we can understand of the practical workings of Christ's re ligion. Gospel Does 3 Things After giving over half of my life to its study, the Gospel of Jesus seems clearly to me to do three things which every man in the world needs done within his heart. He needs help in being good. Love alone will change the direction of our thoughts, until we arè ashamed to live below our ideals of goodness. Daniel Webster said, "God grants liberty only to those who live it and are always ready to defend it." If we lose freedom in this country it will be because we don't deserve to have it. Those ideals of goodness shine more brilliantly in Jesus' life than in any person who has lived on earth. In fact, it was the perfect goodness of Jesus that made men first believe Him to be Divine. The practical result of a perfect pattern is that when men see the beauty of the perfect they ashamed of their imperfection. A ^ ew tears in my mother's eyes after I had done some unworthy deed helped God to work in my boyish are heart the miracle of a changed mind. We can never measure bur minds by anything imperfect. Christ is the norm of all practical goodness. Doing Good Each person needs the impulse for doing good. I find that most of do what our natures impel us to do. I have found that the great pleasure to doing a good deed is in being the sort of person who would want to do it. Doing good has a refining power within us. Our Master said: "He that doeth my will shall know of the doctrine.' us There isn't any other way of knowing any truth per sonally. Then, each person needs to know how to make good. Everywhere that Christianity has gone men and wom en have improved. The forces that destroy human character and useful ness-are checked. New ways of hu man success have arisen in peoples' hearts. A man may be in rags when is converted, but he will not wear rags very long afterwards. "The Wall Street Journal" points out that the primary basis of credit is "character." Christ's religion, accepted in the mind and heart, will help any per son to become his best possible self.
