But Godliness with contentment 
is great Gain. For we brought no- 
thing into this world, and it is cer- 
_tain that we carry nothing out.— 
And having food and raiment let 
us therewith be content. 
How does this plain command 
of the Bible fit in with the pro- 
grams and demands of Union La- 
bor? And which is more likely to 
be right in the long run?

PACHYVERIAS 
I do not know so much about 
Pachyverias because these plants 
are hybrids of Echeverias crossed 
with Pachyphymus. One can use 
the cultural directions of the par- 
ent plant, I suppose. 
They are attacked by root ne- 
matodes sometimes. In that case 
new soil must be provided; all old 
root system removed, and then 
scientist 
treat as cuttings. In outdoor plant= * 
ings I put them on raised mounds 
and surround : 
stones. They seem to dislike mud 
on the plant. That is those that.

drainage. Mine never live long in 
pots because our soil is heavy clay

I use leaf mat from the woods 
for drainage material both in hot 
beds, and in the cans I use instead 
of pots. It decays entirely in two 
years. I save all old soil that is 
free from disease, adding super- — 
phosphate and Vigoro, and use it 
over and over. Our intensely hot 
sun of mid-summer seems to ste- 
rilize it and I have little trouble 
with soil packing.

Now that so many of us have 
loved ones in the armed forces, 
where they are now or will be ex- 
posed to all the hazards of the 
war, the subject of what is the 
everyday life of our spirit, after ae 
is released from the body, becomes 
of vital interest. One of the most 
interesting books on the subject, 
which I have come across is 
Heaven and Hell by Emanuel 
Swedenborg. 
The writer was a deeply learned 
as well as a profound 
student of the Bible. ’m not com- 
petent to say if all his statements 
are correct; but where possible to 
check them with the Bible, they 
are in accord. And the book is of 
engrossing interest. Published by 
the Swedenborg Foundation, Inc., 
51 East 42nd St., New Yor*, in 
several different bindings and in 
wide range of prices. If you are 
interested in the subject, better 
write to them for prices.
