V t. EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL When it says that this new is being "renewed unto know- ledge," it means that a true Chris- tian, united with Christ, seeking- the things which are above, and putting off wicked habits, coma* to know what it means to suffer with Christ, what it means to hav fellowship with Christ, the holi- ness of Christ, the love of Christ, the hatred of Christ for sin, th* righteousness of Christ. We will never know Christ as we ought to know him except w* begin to live the life Christ has called ui to live. God's Elect 12. "Put on therefore, as God** lect, holy and beloved, a h*art of compassion, kindness, lowli- ness, meekness, longsufferina;." A heart of compassion is a heart sensitive to the suffering and needs of others. Kindness ia tk* character which offers sympathy and invites confidence. Lowliness, The Stars and Stripes wave proudly over a shell-pocked fort at Port Lyautey, North Africa, taken from Vichy French troops after a dive bombing attack, as American soldiers patrol the occupied area.

The Christian Church was born in the summer of th* year in which our Lord died, A.D. 30. The Apostle Paul wrote I Corinthians about A.D. 59, and his Epistle to the Colossians was written A.D. 64. Place. The particular church portrayed for us in the earlier part of the Book of Acts was, of course, the one of Jerusalem. Corinth was one of the great cities of Greece. Colosse was a city of Asia Minor, which Paul more than once himself visited. Thing* Which Are Above 1. "If then ye were raised to- gether with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ i, seated on the right hand of God. 2. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on th* things that are upon the earth. 3. For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4. When Christ, who is our life, shall be mani- fested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory." The centre of our life is to be focused on Christ, the ambition of our life is to please Him, and all con- tacts we make with earthly things are only that we might liva nor- mal Christian lives, things always being considered incidentals, not the things to which we are at- tached, or the things we desire above everything else, but simply means for carrying on this human life which God has given us. De- parture from this world is the end of our relationship with material things, but it means for the Chris- tian the entrance into the presence, of Christ. Thing* of Wickednc 5. "Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uiu'leanness, passion, evil desire, and covetous- ness, which is idolatry; 6. for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: 7. wherein ye also once walked, when ye livcil in these things." If we are (K'li'i mined to set our minds on things above, not on things on the earth, then certainly changes will have to be made in our life, from tlu- life- we lived lie fore Christ came into our hearts, to the life that Christ expects us to live as He redeems and indwells us. Paul sets forth this life in symbolic* language, picturing the old life to be as a garment that must be put off, and the new life as an- other garment that should be put on. 10. "And have put on the new man, that is bein.ir renewed unto knowledge after the linage of him that created him: 11. where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circum- cision and unriirumcisioii, bar- barian, Srythinn. bondman, free- man; but Christ is all, and in all." is th* attitude of a soul which has lost its pride in the discovery of the mercy of salvation, meek- ness, the !!. of submission under trial; longsufferingf, th* temper that is opposite to that haste Of spirit which gives the man no time under pressure- of pain or of wrong to remember what U due to others and to the Lord. Chrict-like Forgiveness 13. "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye." Genuine Christ-like forgiveness is a graci- ous act graciously performed. Peace-keeping and peace-making are the two graces here enjoined. The principle of forgiveness is that of our Lord's teaching and of the prayer He taught His dis- ciples (Matt. 0:12-15). 14. "And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness." If these virtues were thus exercised, in the ab- sence of love, they would be frag- mentary, shallow, and would hav* no guarantee for their own con- tinuance. Let love come into th* heart and knit a man to the poor creature whom he only pitied be- fore, or to the enemy whom h* had at the most been able with an effort to forgive, and it lift* these other emotions into a nobler life. The Word of Christ 15. "And let the peac*of Christ rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful." Whatever mars our tranquility, ruffling the sur- face so that Christ's image is no longer visible, ii to be avoided. 16. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one an- other with psalms and spiritual songs, singring with grace in your hearts unto God." The Word of Christ means the words which Christ Himself spoke and all those words of the New Testament Scriptures which have to do with our life in Christ. This Word does not dwell in us richly unless w* make room for it, memorize it and meditate upon e v ery syllabi* of its precious revelations. 17. "And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, Jo all in th* name of the Lord Jesus, giving* thanks to God the Father through him." Whatever we do in heart or act, let every part of it be don* in the name of the Lord Jesus; not simply in religious service, but in the business of daily life; not simply in deeds such as alms-giv- ing or sacramental communion, but in every act, in solitude, and in society, in daily toil, in occupa- tions of trade. It is compara- tively easy to do a professedly Christian act, but far more diffi- cult to do every art in a Christian spirit. | THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson : . N J BY NEA SMVIC . s.

Develop Great Tungsten Mine Proper-tie* Controlled By In- ternational Tungsten Mine* Limited Have Substantial Reserve* Six hundred thousand dollars worth of Tungsten! Deposits of that urgently needed mineral val- ued at this figure are estimated to lie between the surface and th* fifth level underground, and In ore dumpe, on properties control- led by International Tungsten Mipes Limited. This estimate of ore reserves was calculated by the well-known government geologist, Dr. A. W. Jolliffe, of the Depart- ment of Mines, Ottawa, and Is based only on development to date. Further development, it 1* believed, should put in sight sub- stantially Increased tonnages of tungsten ore as mining Is carried to greater depths. Moreover, the property posses- e a high-grade gold content It was originally developed as a gold mine and has already pro- duced gold bullion to the value of over J300.000.00. An Important factor In the tung- sten situation is that. In order to increase domestic production, tha government has thrice raised th* price celling on this vital metal, and today it is wojth $2.650.00 per hort ton of 60% tungsten trio.xld* concentrates. Here is a property which ha* already produced tungsten, with substantial reserves in slgut, and with indications that continued de- velopment will furnish further large tonnages, and with a gold production that will add material- ly to the Company's revenues. In brief, those factors are present which make for a decidedly profit- able operation. King Solves Problem Of Crying Babies In the dignified quiet of th* Grand Hall at Buckingham Palac* a piercing cry occasionally shrill* above the soft background music of the Guards' string band as the King decorates men and women at an Investiture. It is the protest of some hero's baby, thoroughly bored with its first Royal ceremonial. Mother and child have to be escorted out to an ante-room by officials of the Lord Chamberlain while the in- fant is comforted. Because such incidents Jolt the month ritual of Court ceremoni- al, responsible officials suggested to the King a rule forbidding babies in arms and young 1 chil- dren. But last week the King, know- ing the difficulties of not-well-off mothers, who perhaps have no- where to leave their children, re- fused his sanction to the complete ban. sagely offered instead "sug- gestion" that babies ar* not "en- couraged" at Investitures, leaving It possible for mothers to bring their children when necessary though reducing the probable number of future squawks. THE BOOK SHELF TURNING LEAVES By Ellen Proctor The old house seemed to domin- ate the small Minnesota town. It had been there go long and was so much finer than its neighbors that the whole community took an almost proprietory interest in it It belonged to the big sprawling Livingstone family; seven chil- dren, and each one boiling over with a different kind of energy and ambition. The story is dominated by th* two oldest sisters, Julia and Gabrielle. Gabrielle ia a ijuietly sensitive girl who is willing to suffer any drudgery in order to become a singer. Julia's shrewd mind guides her unerringly toward the luxuries of life which her father has never been able to provide. Their devotion to each other and to the family as a whole holds off the inevitable clash of their natures until the family finds itself facing a startiingly dramatic climax.

RADIO REPORTER BT REX FROST "White Christma*" everyone has heard and enjoyed the sweet music and lyrics of this very popular song of the moment. In- spired by the spirit of "Whits Christmas" a special series of dramatic broadcasts between now and the festive season are to b* presented over CFRB every Tues- day 10.25 to 10.55 p.m. Thes* programmes depict episodes em- phasising the activities of Brit- ain's younger generation under wartime conditions. The drama- tizations are written by George L. Watson, a young Toronto author and playwright who is standing on the threshold of a promising career. The series of "Whit* Christmas" programmes will sea- sonably remind their listeners of the "Christmas Cheer for British Children" Fund. Speaking of programmes which lend a colourful interpretation to war-time Great Britain, it is in- teresting to note that Norman Corwin's widely acclaimed Colum- bia series of presentations titled "An American in England" is to be extended for five broadcasts . . . every Tuesday evening 10 to 10.30 p.m. until the end of the year. The noted CBS producer, director and writer returned re- cently from England where he apent four months directing the former series of broadcasts to America over the shortwave facil- ities of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The series will deal with the effects of war on the life of small unnamed towns and villages of Britain, will indicate the changes which have taken place in the material, spiritual, commercial and moral life of the communities of tha tight littl* island and will reflect the activi- ties also of Britain'* farmers and her men of the aea. Most stations of the Columbia Broadcasting System will carry this series. For listeners who may not wish to dwell exclusively on tha more serious and tragic aspects of th* world of today, the CBC prevents a variety of programmes weekly in lighter mood. For inatnc% Serenata, a breezy galut* to South America listeners i heard over th* CBC network Mondays at p.m. "Three LittU Sisters" with their minds on the boys in uni- form entertain cheerfully every Tuesday at 6.30 p.m. That inter- nationally celebrated Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin St. foregathers in jovial mood Wed- nesdays at 9 p.m. The CBC's now well known Ten-Ten Swing Club meets every Saturday at 3 p.m. (CBY only).

The "Gospel Choir" sings the old songs we all love to hear.
