And lien 't a:ii>ti,er .-urprise. L)o the boys in the Armed Forces en- joy only popular music? It doesn't look like it. Recently station CFHH received a letter from one f the training centre.'- of the Royal Canadian Air Force. In it the writer asked if it would be possible fur the Station to loan his school a number of recordings of symphonic orchestra-. Kemark- Ing that many of the boys at his Training <Yi,tre were \er\ tired of the i|iiuntity of popular music whirh came over the air, lie sug- gested that either the Station should include more proguiinmei of classical music, or alternative- ly, loan some of the symphonic transcriptions in iU Recording Library to the Training School. Airmen would thereby be able to play the records for tht enter- tainment of those who enjoyed the better class of music. Still on the subject, of musical preference, gome time ago a far- mer in the United States tried the experiment of turning on a radio in hi<- barn at milking time. He claimed that as a result of the xperimeiit. he was convinced that his cows ifave a l.-i'-gcr quan- tity of miik.

An or- dinary box of matches, wrapped in a single sheet of paper, burst into flame while it was being sorted at a base post-office in Canada. Fortunately, because the stuff was quick to act, no one was hurt and no damage was done. Had that fire occurred dtep in the hold of a vessel at sea as it might have a ship could have been lost and hundreds of men carried to their deaths, thousands of ton of war mater- ials destroyed, countless letters and parcels designated for men in the Services sent to the bottom. That box of matches, sent ille- gally, if thoughtlessly, through the mails, would have done the work of a German torpedo from under-sea, a (Jerman bomb from the ky, or one secretly-placed aboard ship. Kaiser Plans Huge New Cargo Plane A gigantic cargo plane capable of flying almost three-fourths of the way around the world without stopping IE the latest Henry J. Kaiser scheme. The United States' No. 1 ship- builder, now entering- the airplane field, said recently his engineers are drawing up plans for such a plum-, and it could be In produc- tion before the war ends. It is conceived as a 282-foot fly- Ing wing, without body, without tall. Four engines developing 8.000 horsepower would power the craft. Fully loaded, it would weigh lV. r ).f'ou pounds. "Loaded with only fuel. will be able to fly 17.000 miles without topping," Kaiser said. '.'Loaded wllh fuel and bombs, It can bring to Tokyo the havoc and destruction that were visited on Pearl Harbor. ... I want to build It for the future, but I want to start building It now for war. I Intend to build now, while th war Is still raging," Kaiser da- clared. OUR RADIO LOG TORONTO STATIONS CKAr Montreal 730k MIIIHT HAYK CFRB 860V, CBL 740k flkOl, BJOk.

The healing of the lame man at the Temple occurred a few weeks later. Exactly when Peter and John were an i, and brought before the Sanhedrin, we cannot specifically say. It may have been late in A.D. 30, or early A.D. 31. Place. Jerusalem, and, in part, the Temple. Peter'* Intruction "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what ihall we do? And Peter said unto them, Kepent ye, and be baptized very one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission f your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Sm'rlt." Bap- tism follows belief, and certainty is not a saving ordinance. Only faith can save uf. liajitisni is a lign of the washing away of our ins, a public acknowledgment that we are henceforth to be iilcn- tified with Jesus Christ, an ex- ternal rite symbolizing our being identified with the body of Christ. God's Promiie ''For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, ovi-n as many as the Lord our God ihall call to him." Peter knew from the beginning that the Gentiles were to be ad- mitted to the same privileges as Israel. But Christ's commission aid that tliry wore to preach first In Jerusalem and Judca. Peter's Admonition "And with many otlnv words h testified, and exhorted 'hem, aying, save yourselves from this crooked generation.'' What Peter here meant was lliat these people hould accept the Lord Jcstiv Christ as their Saviour, and thus be saved from the doom which was to fall upon I.rai-l because of its rejection of Christ, climaxing in the destruction of the city of Jerusalem some forty years later. "They then that received this wont were baptized : and there were added unto them ia that day About three thousand souls.'' The- number need cause no surprise. Many of these new converts may have been in m tunsc believers already, but had been restrained by timidity or irresolution from an open profession of their faith. The Hour of Prayer "Now Ptter and John were go- ing up into th temple at tha hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man that was lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which 1* called Beautiful, to ask nljns of them that entered into the temple. Who aecing 1'tUr and John about to go into the temple, uked to receive an aims. And Peter, fastening his ye upon him with John, said, Look on UB." Normally, one becomes not only accustomed to seeing beggars, but omcwhiit impatient with them, Not so Peter. Like his Lord, he law into tha inner life of this poor creature, and i'elt that lie not only should be delivered of hi* lameness but that he should know the Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostolic Miracle "And ha gave herd unto them, Xpecting to receive something from them. But Pter said, sil- ver and gold have 1 none; but what 1 have, that I give tliee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Mankind has been primarily beholden to tho'se who have possessed little of this world's goods, but have abound- ed in Tuiili, and uttrr.uuv. and knowledge, and in all earnest- ness and in love.'.. There is one marked difference between the manner of our Lord's perform- ing miracles and the manner in which the apostles, performed them. Jesus d'lViUi! cures Him- self by merely speaking a ivord from His own personality and in Hia own power. His disciples effected cures by speaking in Hia name. Peter's words are typical of the spirit which should ever animate the Christian preacher or teacher. They turn the attention of his hearers wholly away from themselves and exalt Jesus Christ alone The Apostles' Boldness "Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and tl:ey took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus." This has been the experience of the Church in different parts of the world in every age. Leaders of false religions have attempted to top the mouths of those who were bringing in light and truth, love and redemption. The Christian Conscience "But Peter and John answered and said unto them, whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye: for we can- not but speak the things which we saw and heard. And they, when they had further threat- ened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified. God for that which was done." In this first tonflict between the Church and earthly authority, they assert a great principle that the Chris- tian conscience is the supreme court of appeal. The answer of fiunyan, when imprisoned, and forbidden to preach was, 'I am at a point with you. If I were out of prison again to-day I would preach the gospel again to-morrow, by the help of God.'
