THL LESSO.N IN ITS SETTI.NG Tmicâ€" Sprint', A.D. 27. Mace. â€" On a mountain, the ex- act location of which is not known. 1. Judse not, that ye bi not juugeu. The strict meaning of the v.ord "judge" is to distinguish, decide." The Lurd forbids any. of his subjects making final judgment about any 'lumun being, 'i. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what ir.e:^sure ye mete, it .«hall be meas- utcu unto you. On the day of ju(. ..ment those critic^ who have 'nes-sctcd to judge themselves will be found to be full of sins and sh>-rt-comings which at last receive their just punishment. 3. And why bcholdest thou the mo e that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother. Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? 5. Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. By "beam" here is meant a beam of wood used often in holding up the roof of a house; a "mote" is a speck of dust. We aio all prone to sus- pect ir the conduct of others pre- cisely those failings of which we are frequently guilty ourselves. 6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither east your pearls before the swine, lest hap- ly they trample them under their feet, and turn and rtnd you. Here is a caution against the opposite extreme to what Christ has just been rebuking. We must not juuge others, but we must not heedlessly expose sacred things to pel-sons wholly wanting in appre- ciation and sure to reject them. "Pearls" here may be taken as precious truths which have become our own. Nevertheless we can talk .to the worst of human crea- tures about the Lord Clirist -vith- DUt casting before them the holy things of our own "xperiences. 7. Ask, and it shall be given " you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, anu it shall be opened unto you: 3. for every jne that asketh recei- veth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. For a parallel passage . _jee Luke 1 1 :9-13. Our Lord does noC however, guarantee to us any- thing at first asking. God does not open his treasury to the tap of a careless hand whicl. just touches the doer and then passes on. Pr..yer is not a momentary wish or a transitory whim. It is th^ utterance of a confirmed and per- sistent and unwearying longing. If you want a prayer answered, you must -go on praying. The Gospel is full of the kind of pray- ' er God yields to, '>. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him a loaf, will Rive him a jtone; 10. or if he shall ask for a fish, will g\\Q him a serpent? 11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him. More and more as life advances we perceive, as we cling to our ideals, how God has all ihe while bee-^ bringing them to a larger and nobler realization than we ever imagined. 12. All things therefore what- soever ye would that men should do unto you. even so do ye also unto them • for this is the law and the prophets. As Jesus came to- ward the close of his Sermon on the Mount, he gathered together all ..he social teachings of the ser- mon and ali the social teachings of the Bible, and bound them to- gether into the Golden Rule. The Ruie is applicabif to every rela- tio.iship of life. Jesus expects us to live by it in the home, in the school, in the ccnimunity, in the eocial c»«cle. in the church, in business, in industrial life, and in national and nttentational aifairs. He oxpocts Ui< to practise toward all men of all ciasscs, all races, ail oreeds. IS. Enter ye in by the narrow gau- : for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that inter in 'hereby. 14. For narrow is the gate, and straighten- ed -.he way. that Icadest unto life, and few are they that find it. Man has the freedom to choose whether he will take the road that leads to » verla.sting life or the road that leaii^ to destruction. The broad »sV Is the way of our own sel- fish, sinful doing: the nan-ow way is ' -e way that God provided. ar.ii .n that way i.i Jesus Christ, and ;- s re«leep»Jnc. delivering work for '.If. 1st Canadian Division Commander Visits Toronto Major-General A.

RADIO NOTES AND NEWS By MADGE ARCHER THE PUBLIC DICTATES Canadians and Ajnericans are the most radio-spoiled people in the world. They ar& liko precocious children who cry for what they want, and agaiu when they cannot get what they want. No thought is given to the hundreds of millions spent every year on their eutertain- meut and the catering to th'Oir wiihes. For in America it is the public that dictates the type of pro- grams that are broadcast. Where else in the world can 150,000,000 people depend upon a consistent season of complete operatic broad- casts? For this is what we gel from the Metropolitan each Saturday af- ternoon during the winter months. Through these broadcasts we are becoming familiar with the whole treasure ot operatic masterpieces. Finest Symphony, Drama Every week we are treated to two concerts respectively by two of the finest symphony orchestrtw ill the world, one of these directed by the greatest living conductor. Needless to say this refers ot the NBC Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. In drama, too, we are treated very generous- ly. Thousands upon, thousands of dollars are spent weekly to give us viiriety entertainment. Sponsors spare no expense to engage talent like that ot Edgar Bergen, Jack Benny, Kudy Vallee and a host ot others whose names you know as well as I do. Most ot them we in Canada, can hear on our network. On the whole we have little to complain about. The CBC makes every effort to bring us the great programs ot the American net- works and, barring a few sponsors ot products without markets In this country, we hear just about ev- erything worth while there is to hear.

Pioneer Deaths Occurred Early Our First Settlers Didn't Live To A Ripe Old Ageâ€" Theory About Their Healthful Diet Exploded Popular belief that pioneer set- tlers of this country lived to a ripe old age in spite of the mea- gre diet on which they subsisted has been exploded by Dr. J. J. Talman. Ph.D.. assistant librarian at the Univeisity of Western On- tario. . Few Reached 90 •'Most deaths in pioneer days were recorded at the ase of one year or less and the next cycle of high mortality came at the age of 18, very few reached the age of 90," he declares. Opinions given by the Western librarian based on findings he had made from searching of old par- ish registers and an average reached by pioneers was 27, he said. The same result was obtain- ed from thrci different registers. A search of the Christian Guard- ian of the period before 1839, where deaths of older citizens were recorded gave an average age of 32. A large percentage of these people died of tuberculosis, he said, according to a doctor who read accounts of their dcatlts. Man.v appeared happy and cried out on their death bods. Too Much Salt Pork "People didn't thrive on the diet of tho.^o days," Dr. Talman con- tinued. "What did they die of? You can't raise a child on salt pork and potatoes and those were the main items of the diet of that period." He Avoids Dots Eligah Sanson!, 49, of Ciiarles- ton, W.Va., believes in spelling names according to your hand- writing ability. Held for federal grand jury ac- ticn on a charge of operating a still, he was asked by officers if his naive were not spelled "Eli- jali." "Nope," replied Sanson), "I spell it with a 'g' because it's eas- ier to write." How To Fatten Up Your Turkeys Start A Month Before Selling Them â€" Birda Thrive Best In Open Tuskeyg thrive best iu the open, even during the fattening period, and the fattening period should start a mont'a before It ia Intended to gel! them. Fattening should be commenced gradually with mashes la the morning and at noon, lud whole grain iu the evening. When turkeys are shut up in pens they very often go off their feed and fre- fluently die. Recommended Mash A recommended mash for turk- eys is made up of equal parts of ground oats, barley meal, corumeal and wheat brau. Buckwheat may take the place ot barley. Mix thor- oughly and moisten the mash with water or skimuillk abo- two hours before feedin. Enough liquid should be used to make the toed crumbly and not sticky or sloppy. The mash should be given ia thor- oughly-cleaned "V" shaped troughs and no more teed should be served than the turkeys can clean up. The same mash may be used tor the morning and noon feds. Whole com is the best grain for fattening but it should not be fed heavily It the weather is warm. Along with regular feeds, the turkeys should have plenty ot fresh water and grit. Royal Estates Become Farms How To Select The Best Hens How can the best laying hens be selected in culling? This ques- tion was asked of C. E. Bohde, of the Missouri College of Agricul- ture recently. He answered as fol- lows: At this season of the year, early-molting hens of the yellow- skinned variety will be ob3e^•^•ed as having much yellow color in their beaks and shanks. The am- ount of yellow coloring indicates the length of time these individ- uals have been on a vacation. The deepest colorings denote the longest vacations, and usually the poorest-producing hens. Good, profitable hens present quite a contrasting appearance at this time of the year. These in- di\-iduals have a rugged, rough appearance. Their feathers are dry and inclined to be brittle. Quite frequently the main tail and wing feathers have been worn ox broken off. The short feathers at the base of the comb are frequent- ly missing, giving a bald appear- ance, and the beak and shanks of birds of yellow-skinned varieties are practically devoid of any yel- low color. They appear bleached, because these individuals have been producing eggs at a rate which resulted in the placing of all the yellow pigment, obtained from their feed, in egg yollts rath- er than in storing it under the skin on visible body surfaces. Handling and examination of these individuals will also reveal the desirable characteristics of width and depth of body, bright, clear eyes, and heads which have a clean-cut appearance and with beaks which are short, slightly curved, and strong. Marriages In September Up 68V2 Per Cent First Month of War In Canada Showed Cupid A Busy Man Cupid and nis bow and arrow did a land office business during the first month of the war. the Dominoin bureau of Statistics disclosed at Ottawa. "The first month of war quite evidently plunged many Canadian young people into the sea of ma- trimony in advance of their orig- inal intentions," said th.> bureau. "During September the number of marriages throughout Canada was 7,966 which was 68% per cent, more than the September total a year ago." Births registered in 66 cities and towns having populations of 10,000 or more numbered 7,458 in September. Deaths were 3,935. In September, 1938. births were 7,226, deaths 4.016 and mar- riages 4,729. Measures approved by The King for increasing production ot food on his private estate* have been announced by the British Ministry of Agriculture. i:arly this year, in response to the Goverumeat's appeal tor in- creased domestic food production. 50 acres of grassland were put un- der plough at the King's Sandring- Uam estate. Since the outbreak of war on additional SO acres bar* been, or are about to b», ploughs ed. In addition, the acreage of a^ able land on the estate waa !•• creased by 30 acre* earb in IMI. To Increase Oomeitic Output Additional land will b* pUc«4 under plough at Balmoral, but M* extent has not yet tieen decided.
