PRINTED TEXT, Luke 17: 1-4, 11-19 COLOEN TEXTâ€" Be ye kind on* to another, tenderhearted, forgiv- ing each other, even a* God alto in Christ forgave you. lipliesians 4: 32. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€" All tho aveuti; spoken of in thki chapter occiineJ bMwcen January and March, A.D. 30. Place. â€" The teaching and Lhe prophftlc utteranct's of Christ in this chapter wo-re glvon in Poraea; the miracle of the healing of the ten lepers occurred near the l>or- der of Sam.'irla. Tho first two verst>s of the les- son might be found easily the most practical of the entire chapter. In them Kc arc taught a lesson we ail need tn have continually bih- phusize^l iu our own hearts and lives â€" namel.v, the terrible con- deunation wliich Cod will mate out to those who cause the followers of Christ, the children of God, to tiumble, to fall into sin. Offending the LittI* Ones Litko 17: 1. "And he said unto his disciples. It is Impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come; 2. It were well lor him if a millstone wer» bang- ed about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than tlvat he should cause one of these little ones to stumtle." What a large branch of a tree would prove to a traveller driving forty mllei an hour down a highway, It thrown suddenly across his path, li what an occa£ioa of stumbling would ba to anyone in tlie moral realm. The Terse implies that w« have a dir- ect influence over other people, more extensive in some people than in others but, nevertheless, defiiute and direct. Furthermore, we are responsible for the influ- ence which wo exert upon other people; the Lord will certainly hold us responsible winen we canie other people to stumble la walkiuK the road of life. By the phrase "these little ones," our Lord re- fers probal)ly not only to children, t>ut to the children of God and e«- pecially to those who have just hegun their Christian lite, or those who are, as it were, still weak la their faith. Forgiveness • Seven Times 3, 4. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And 1{ he sin against thee seven time* In the day, and seven limes turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou Shalt forgive him." There are two specific injunctions in these two verses: we are to rebuke thos* •who liave mistreated us; If they repent, we are to lorgive tUem. By rebuking others, our Lord means we are to first point out the <act of the sin Itself, and then, sec- only, we are to reveal taottuUy to this person iiow deadly the guilt of that sin is. Forgiveness is based on the man's repentance. U the man shall sin seven times, and say be repents, we are to forgive him. Better to secure the aanotity and heauty of our own character bf being ready to forgive seven times, even though the man Is not sin- cere, than by refusing forgiveness to a truly repentant soul, be in danger of becoming a stumbling block In his way. Miracle of Healing 11. "And it came to pass, a* they were on tho way to Jerusalem, that he was i>assing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. 12. And as he entered into a certain village, there met hUu ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off: 13. and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14.. And when he saw them, he said unto them. Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it cam« to pass, as they wfvnt, lliey were cleansed." What we are particularly inter- ested in in this passage is tlie strangv command of Christ to these Lepers that they should go and •how themselves unto the priests. In the first place there is here, a keen trial of faith. With no signs ot restorntinn as yet upon them, they were bidden to do that whicli Implied they were jerfectly re- Stored, In tholr prompt obedience, theiy declared plainly that some weak bcglnningH ot falUi were working In them. Where Are Tht Others? 16. "And one ot them, when he Mvw that he was healed, turned teok, with a loud voice glorifying Ood; K. and lio fell upon Uls face «t bla fe«t, giving blm tlianks: and M was a Baraaritan. IT. And Jesus MMwering said, Wore not the ten sieansed? but where sie the nine? il. Wsrs there none found that returned to glv« glory tn God, save this stranger?" The others were ^•r^aps afraid that now the Masr- •r would faave a cinim upon tliem 4ad would begin to pre!>R It. Me Who had given them their health tlfht dtmnud their loyally; and •y were not ready to yield It. Ring of Steel Guards Britain From Invasion Expert o.)inicn is practically unanimous that an invasion of Britain will be attempted this spring or summer. The same experts concede that it will be a costly undertaking, for Britain is prepared now as shs never was before. Around her shores are powerful guns, tank traps and other devices that are designed to make it uncomfortable for tres- passers. Not the lea&t important in the steel ring of defences are the batteries of mobile howitzers held in readiness at various strategic P'jints whence they can be rushed to any part of the defence lines that need streng:thening. ABOVE you see some of these stubby, but power- ful gruns in transit and<in firing position. At TOP, a howitzer mounted on its mobile carriage oeing taken over a snowy road. CENTRE, un- loading the gun at its position. BOTTOM, a battery all ready to shower out the "welcoming confetti." They may have felt their Bene- factor was no longer necessary to them now that the pressure of ur- gent want was past. 19. "And he said unto hUn, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole." The nine, too, were healed â€" ^but their faith pro- duced nothing more. This man's trust remained, brought the fruit of gratitude and was on the way to still more. This man was on the way to full salvation. now, have a controlled price of about 10 cents a pound.

Our Blind Spot E\eryone is partially blind. That is to say, there is a small "blind spot" in every human eye. You can test it for yourself by making two black spots on a sheet of paper, about eyes-width apart. Hold the paper at arm's length, close one eye and stare fixedly at one spot. Yoa will be able to see both of ;hem. Now slowly move the paper nearer to your face, still staring at one spot. At a certain point the other spot will completely vanish from sight. The brain is slow to" "wipe off" an image which the eye has recorded. If you stare at a bright red spot for a while, then glance up at the ceiling, you will see the same spot apparently floating in the air, but it will appear green instead. When you go to the cinema, you do not see actual "moving" pictures, but a rapid succession of still pictures, each slightly different from the previous one. There is a mo- mentary black-out between each, but the brain is not quick en- ough to observe it, and this "re- tention of vision" produces the illusion of movement.

This program is heard in this part of Ontario from CKOC. â€" o â€" rADIO RIVALS The radio listening public is certainly faithful to its air- lane favorites. Once again, Jack Benny has been chosen favorite air comic for the eighth consecu- tive year â€" while Helen Hayes is again the number one dramatic star, and the perennial Guy Lom- bardo is again the favorite band leader. Fred Allen's Star Theatre now rates as the chief rival to tha ' Benny program, with Fred Waring's show listed as the best fifteen minute prog:ram. The fall of the mighty is exhibited in Charlie McCarthy's drop from near the top to ninth place. Other well-known shows that rated near the top were Informa- tion Please, Bob Hope, the Bing Crosby Hour, Fibber McGee and Molly, the Philharmonic Orches- tra and the Monday Radio Theatre. Advice Given About Flowers Should Improve On Our Own Native Varieties Which Are Used to American Climate Many ot Canada's most beautiful flowers and plants were native American wild flowers which were bred and beautified by Europeans, "something of which we should be ashamed," Henry Teuscher, direc- tor of technical services at the Montreal Botanical Gardens, de- clared last week iu a lectuid givaa in co-operation with the Carueci* Corporation ot New York. "Not only should wa ourselves be able to recognize the beauty 31 our American wild flowers befor* a European plant breeder improve* them and sells them back tj us, but we would get much better re- sults with improved rarietiea which were bred here in America and were adapted to our cllmatie conditions," he said. A point brought out by Mr. Teuscher was that "contrary to tb* common belief none of the Golden- rods ever did or ever could causa hay fever." IN LIGHTER VEIN: "Boy, was his face red', . . .'
