He had teen Philip perform mir- acles, but had seen no instance until now in which that power had been transferred to other?. Peter Rthultei Simon "But Peter said unto him. Thy ilver perish with thee, because, thou ha&t thought to obtain the gift of (iod with money. Thou hatt neither part nor lot in 'his mailer: for thy heart is not right before (lod." Here is a douhle revelation, first of Peter's own heart, and then of Simon's heart. Peter had many faults, but a love for money was not one of them. This was the tragedy of Judas I.'.enriot. Peter may hava made- many blunders, nil at times proved bimself u coward, but one thing he knew, that the gospel of Christ was the gospel of holmes.", ml that whatever power he bad, or anybody el-i \\ould have, in tin- namo of Christ, must be by a divin* bestowal, through the. Holy Spirit, in the name of Christ, not something mechanical, not somu- thing to be bought, not something which could he pasned automati- cal y from man to man. It is <> thing to ask Ciod for divine power, that w may use it for II ui iflory in saving souls; it is another thing to leek spiritual power for our- ehep, that, we ourselves may ho exalted nnii, t nun, that our own reputation may lie enhanced, or, w<n>t of all, thnt ouv iiu-onie might he multiplied.

"For I see thnt llnni art in the gall of hittenn-ss anil in the i>otid of mii|uity." This pus.sagt- umild imply that Simon hint gune from one evil to another.

The First Parachute Jump From Plane Jumping from balloons by means of parachutes is nearly as old as are balloons themselves, and for many years parachute jumps were a feature at fairs. During the last war British air- men made about 800 leaps from observation balloons which were hot down or caught fire, and in only three instances did the parachutes fail to open .... But parachute jumping from planes was not done, probably because of the speed of the machines and because the technique had not been developed as it is now. Strange to say the first record of a parachute jump from a plane wa* that of a woman, Misa Sylvia Boyden, who volunteered to try It at a peace celebration ip Lon- don after the war. She went up In a two-seater Avro, and from 1,000 feet made a perfect land- Ing. Her feat attracted so much notice that she was invited to give demonstrations in the United State* where she made many uc- ' ewful leaps. RADIO REPORTER By REX FROST Hlp the Hoyal Canadian Navy. Your $100 Victory Bond will pay for lifeboat ration kit* which will feu 14 men adequately for ight day*. With Canada's fourth war-time winter radio season coming to a close it is noticeable that many changes are creeping into the broadcasting schedule. Old win- favourites are already leaving' the air to be replaced by new programmes and changing sche- dule* will become more and more apparent by the end of May. It i* surprising however that many of the big network programmes originating in the United States will continue during the season when we spend more time out of doors. War with its emphasis on important news from the fighting fronts, and the limitations which gasoline rationing have imposed upon travel have had the effect of keeping more people alert to the usefulness of their receiving ets. * From the United States comes r.ews that the National Broadcast- ing Company and the Columbia System are enjoying an unprece- dented boom. There la keen com- petition amo.igst sponsors not only for the most desirable broad- casting' periods, but even also for the hours of a less desirable na- ture. Many commercial concerns sponsoring big network shows are carrying on through the summer in order to make certain of their time for next winter season. As the American chains have Cana- dian outlets, it looks as though this summer the standard of pro- grammes in the Dominion will be higher than usual. Many people who predicted that, with the dwindling of consumer goods, ra- tioning and o on advertisers would tend to disappear from the air. have found that the reverse is the case. While many program sponsors have little or nothing to sell, they apparently believe it is good business to keep their names before the public. What is true of radio i true also of the press. Advertisers in weekly newspapers might be well advised to watch **st the big fellows nre doing. * Many of ua hava heard play- by-play descriptions of sports vents, and we've been treated to running radio descriptions of parades and celebrations and * docn and on* other events of public Interest. Now it appears that commentaries on this grim business of war are likely to be broadcast on a regular schedule direct from the front lines. An announcement made recently by the C.B.C. says that A. K. Pow- ley, chief editor of their Central Newsroom, is to leave shortly for London, England, where he will head the oversea* staff. The well- known Canadian war correspond- ent Matthew Halton, formerly of the Toronto Star will ffecome identified with the new C.B.C. set-up, and will follow Canadian troops into scenes of action in which they may become engage*! in the near Mure. Mattiiew Hal- ton has already gained fame for his coverage of the war in many zones. As plans arc being made at present, descriptions of coming battles will be recorded on th spot in the fighting lines and th discs rushed to London, from which point they will be beamed by short wave transmission across the Atlantic for relay en the C.B.C. National network. Thus will Canadians be given a mor* ! alistic understanding of the bitter struggle in which we are now engaged. * Lovers of good music, laet Sunday, welcomed the Columbia Symphony Orch< first back to the airwaves, when this stellar musical aggregation began its seventeenth season on Sunday afternoon pro- grammes. During the coming month* the Columbia Symphony will be conducted hy Harold Bar- low. The list of guest ar.Lsts si- ready announced is one of dis- tinguished proportions. CFRB, Toronto will carry this enjoyable feature 3 to 1.30 Sundav after- CFRB also announces a change :n its scheduie Monday through Fridays 5.45 to 6 p.m. to include the Columbia dramatic feature "Mother and Dad." Here to a programme of quiet, friendly philosophy of home and family of the type which should be of par- ticular interest to listener* tn rural Ontario. During th Grout War it took about 4,000 horse power to run a division. Mechanization of the forces now requires over 17,000 horse power for the same nnit. Money is power when you invest it in the new Victory Bonds! *'OF ALL THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF CANADA THE GREATEST IS ITS PEOPLE" Today, as Canada passes through ihe shadow and storm of war, she places her faith in the greatest of all her natural resources her people.
