The Wildernes of Sin, on the eas : tin side of the Red Sea, on the way to Mount Sinai. Some Of the j.laces mentioned in our lesson have not yet been definite- ly identiiltd. Gcc 1 s Promise To Israel "And Jt-Iiovah spake unto Moses, aying, I have heard the murmur- ings of tie children of Israel: peak un;o them, saying, At even ye s,hall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; ami ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God." Once again the Lord speaks to Moses, telling biffi that through this ex- perfence of enjoying God's bounty the Israt.ites should know that Oo<l was :he Lord their God. The instruction of His people is a primary object with God. He has gifted them with reason, and He expect* to be served with the un- derstanding and the wyll. " is tuauU'eKt '.'.lat every event In His dealings with them is a step in the process of their spiritual train- ing. a ii came to puss at even, thai the emails cauie up. and- Cov- ered the c;.mp; and In tjUe* morning the de lay rQund about 1 the Au extraordinary flight oi was over :he camp. If i& a not- uncommon occurrence that, when wearied; 'hes'fi fflnls droop and settle down for rest, so as to be easily ili.V'bed with sticks, and ev- en caught by the hand. The mir- aculous provision chiefly lay in the extraordinary number, the tMs.muble> arrival, and the pe- culiar circumstances under which these quails came. Mama For The Hungry "And when the dew that lay was Kone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, siuail as the hoarfrost on the Kr<niid. And when the children of Isrnv! saw it, they said one to another. What Is It? for they knew not what ii was. And Moses said unto them. It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat." There isa natural substance with which this manna is compared. It is a deposit from the air which falls in trees, stones, grass, etc., and is generally thick and sticky like henry, but under certain cir- cumstances is concreted into small granular masses. It is collected by the AVabs ami eaten with their unli'uvwird cakes as condiment. It o far lesembles the manna that It comes with the dew: it is never found in large quantities and it docs not fall for more than two months in the year. But the man- na of scripture is generally resard- etl as .1 miraculous substance and not a natural product. Greed and Unbelief "This : the thins which Je- hovah bath commanded, (lather ye of It every man according to his <-'ti:i; an omer a head, ac- cording to the number of your per- sons, shall ye take it. every man for ilieon that are in his tent. And the children of Israel did so, and gaUu-rpd some more, some less. And w ').!) they measured It with an omer. he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathou'd little had no lack; they gathprixl every man according to his eating." No store Is to be accumulated. It was In vain that any 0116 dis- obrv<:d this command. That which was ivMtrved till the second day became rotten. This In Itself was miraculous, as the natural niann.i kept lor a considerable time. If a man trusted God for tomorrow. h How many cherries do you sup- pose there are la an ordinary six- quart basket? Of course you bar* never tried to count them, have you and nor have I but still, take a guess, and then 4 will tell you why I ask. You see, we had a basket of cherries left down town at the home of a friend and when I called for them I found they were al- ready pitted. Now wasn't that a grand surprise? This friend lives alone and it may. have been cur- iosity; I don't know but as she pitted the cherries she counted them, and . . . here comes the answer . . . there were eleven hundred and fifty cherries in that one basket. Can you believa it? So now, ft you have an eleven quart basket of cherries in front of you to pit will tl make the work any easier, do you think, to realize that probably approximate- ly two thousand cherries will slip and slide through your juicy fin- gers before the Job Is done? And here ii another thought. If rhr are two thousand cherries in aa eleven quart 'basket how many cherries would there be on an average tree? It's a silly question of course, but still it does make you realize how, as always, U'i the little things that count. On cherry, and then another cherry, and so on, and so forth, and soon it basket is filled to the- top. And so it is with our day's work. Perhas no Job in itself is very big but yet one after another the tasks are done until by the end of the day we realize we have put in a good many hours of solid work on Just Jobs that make up our ordinary home life getting meals, washing dishes, bathing the baby, kissing the bumps to make them well; ironing, sweeping, dusting, shopping, hoeing, feeding chickens and gathering eggs, and, I hope, somewhere in among; these multiple chores there has also been time for Red Cross knitting and sewing. Even in the busiest day ther should still be time for war work. I say "war work" for want of a better description. Personally I do would be content to stop collecting when he had filled his omer, tempt- ing tas the easily gathered abund- ance would be. Greed and unbelief would masquerade then as now, under the guise of prudent fore- sight. Only he who absolutely trusted God to provide for . him would eat up his portion, and Ha down at night with a quiet heart, knowing that He who had fed him would feed. Water Prom The Rock "And the people thirsted there for water; and the people raur- . 411:1 i-.-<l against Moses, and said, "\VTierefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with l.thirst?" Instead of asking Moses to pray to God for relief, they be- gan to murmur and complain again, as they had previously done, naturally provoking Moses. This time Moses Is driven to ask the Lord what he is to do. "And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone me. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, where-wlth thou smotest the river, take In thy hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock In Horeb; and thou shall smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did sa in the sight of the elders of Is- rael." The abundant provision of water tor a thirsty people, and the bring- ing of it near to them, speaks of God's supply -of wate<r of life in Christ. It Is the bringing of sal- vation near to sinful men and wo- men -Ih Christ through His aton- ing death for them. As from the smitten rock the water flowed abundantly and satisfied the crav- ings of the people, even so from Christ, smitten at the cross, the water of life, as salvation flows abundantly to satisfy the cravings and thirst of hearts. 'Whosoever drinkelh of this water shall never thirst.' VATICAN CITY SPARED BY ALLIED BOMBS not think that war work should be constd- ! is something apart from our ordinary work as some- thing that we will do when we get around to It. I think we should regard it as part of our day's work; as something that must be done ere the sun goes down or maybe after the sun goes down. There Is still so much need for all the sewing and knitting we can do. If one o[ those poor little bombed out children should come to your door frightened, ragged, hungry and homeless how gladly you would take her in; how quick- ly you would get good nourishing food; how frantically you would search the house over for suitable clothes; and how gently you would try to reassure the terror-stricken child that with you she would be safe that you would take care of .her. Am I not right? I am sure I am. I know erary woman wh roads this column would open her heart to any little homeless child if she were to see her. Ah, but there's the rub. W* cannot ott*n tee the ones for wtsom w work or for whom we should work. But we have imagination and we can use it. And if we do. war will quite naturally become part of our daily round. Well, I hava just come from the field where I have been helping Partner to assemble the binder ready for cutting. It was so long since I had helped with this jftb that I had forgotten all the little things there were to do tv un- wind the wheel; to balance the binder while Partner did this thing and that; to put a bolt in here and a hook on there, and so many other little jobs before the binder is ready for action. Finally we were all ready to go and when Partner started cutting I followed tilt* binder to retrieve the first row of sheaves, which are always thrown into the standing grain and must be moved before the second round v cut. Some of them wer light, but most of them were heavy, and quite as much as I wanted to lift, so, when we came to the end of the round I was glad when Partner said: "Well. I guess that is all I need you for this time." Tapping a typewriter Is a lot easier than struggling with a pitchfork. And how U the election coming along in your district? Interest seems to be pretty dead around here. I am not the least bit excited about it myself but, wnen August 4 comes. I'll be out to vote. If we don't do our part then we have no come-back if the government doesu't do what suits us. Don't forget freedom to think and vot the way we please is one of the things our men 41-6 fighting for. So. countrywomen everywhere, let us hie to the polls on August 4. And of course we shall all cast our vote for the right party! CANADIAN CHIEF Maj-<Jen. G. G.

RADIO REPORTER '!x For a number of years the Axis governments dominated the radio waves of the Mediterranean. Long before the British Broadcast- Ing Corporation was aroused to counter-action, German and Ital- ian short wave was pounding out Axis propaganda in the native tongues of the tribes of Northern Africa and the Middle East. And this era of practically unrhalleng- ed Nazi and fascist propaganda came into being long before the war started. The United Nations only began to win the war of radio propaganda in the Mediterranean whi'n. following the landing of United Nations troops in French Northwest Africa, they took con- trol of Radio Algiers. From that time on, as the saying goes, they hava really gone to town with a barrage of United Nations propa- ganda directed to the peoples of the Mediterranean area in numer- ous languages. African and Euro- pean. Moreover Radio Algiers has supplied the "Undcrnround" P '''* of Europe with truthful war infor- mation and encouragement to hang on until their hour of liberation arrives, supplementing thoivby the short wave broadcasts direct- ed to the occupied countries from London and Washington. The United Nations radio propa- ganda to itTily was supplemented by the dropping of pamphlets by aircraft telling the people when to listen, and on what wavelength and also emphasizing the appeals of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the president of the United States to Italian citizens to oust II Duce. It was not until our fighting forces landed on Ital- ian soil that they realized the power of the propaganda which had preceded the military, naval an3 air assault. In many parts of Sicily the populace was out to welcome the United Nations sol- diers. Sisnifiu'int also was the request of a general of the Ital- ian Army, who together with an officer of the Italian Navy asked their captors to arrange to broad- cast their names over the B.B.C. so that their families would know they were prisoners, and thereby safe. A rather amusing incident comes from Nazi occupied Hol- land whore an order was recently Issued by the German authorities confiscating all radio receiving sets. When it was learned that members of the Dutch Nazi party might, upon application, be allow- ed to keep their radios, there was quite a rush of Hollanders to join the Dutch Nazis . . . temporary Radio-Nazis, as they are described by the Government of Holland In exile. * The announcement lias just been made that Judith Evelyn, Broadway Dramatic star of the play "Angel Street" is to take over the currently popular Colum- bia feature, "Madeleine Carroll rwids." heard Monday through Friday 5.00 to 5.15 p.m. over CFRB, Toronto.
