Forgive us our trespasses, sinuer speaks to liis Saviour;

Prays for all the world before he prays for his own daily bread. 

 Gives up his own will before he asks for a selfish tiling, then he 

 asks bread so he may be able to do something for others. 



Do you know that the soul that tries to carry its own burdens

We are making wonderful strides in our knowledge of poultry 

 husbandry. Unquestionably there is vastly more, however, to be 

 known than we know at the present time. We must look to the 

 practical solution of these problems that confront us, and some of 

 them are exceedingly difficult and serious through a combination of
