A FARM WIFE CHATS TO WOMEN By Gwendoline P. Clarke Hullo, evcryoody! I suppose you folk who live in urban cen- tres would be ready to take my head off if I were to say, ''Darn these holidays, anyway they are nothing but a nuisance." Well, I won't say it because I know if you work in a store or mn office you look forward like everything to that day to your- self. So I won't begrudge you your holiday. Hut to people /ht/ live on a farm a bunk holiday isn't a day off at all it's just a day that we have to remember so as to m^ke sure there is enough bread and meat and other things in the house until the store* open again. And it's a day when we don't get our mail delivered and for the life of me I never can remember on which holidays mail is deliv- ered and when it isn't. So I gen- erally go trudging down to the road to make sure anyway we don't take any chances on miss- Ing our mail if our youngsters are away from home, do we, Mothers? Well, I was sort of caught n:t|>- ping Labor Day week-end. 1 thought about the holiday too late. Hy the time I went shop- ping for extra supplies there wai hardly a thing to be bought any- where. Ant. then Daughter phoned that she would be home for the week-end ! And or dear, it wa to hot and sticky during those few days that even the bread I did have went mouldy. But we man- aged, and we had one grand visit. Tuesday night I took Daughter back to the outskirts of Toronto. Had she gone by train it would have cut her visit short by six hours. That's the beauty of a car -you can come a. id go as you please providing, of course, that yoa don't get a blow-out or some- thing, or your gas coupons don't ran short. We have had a car for a good many years now and I still marvel at what can be done with it. Take Tuesday, for in- stance. VVr left home just as Partner was going to the barn. He had horses and cows to get In. chickens to feed and cows to milk, and yet before he was up from the barn I had been almost to Toronto and back approxi- mately fifty-six miles, and at no time was I going more than thirty- fives miles an hour. On the road we parsed no less than six cars with lire and engine trouble. I imagine there were other folk who were marvelling at what a car could do, but possibly not In the same way as I was! After the week-eiid was over that left me with just one day in which to get ready for a birthday parly Hint I was giving for our Women's Institute to celebrate its tenth anniversary. And I can tell you I made the dust fly that day! It was H wartime party- -a sort of Red ('roi-s Quilting, ben and tea party Combined. 1 had three quilt!" set up and every woman was set to work as soon as she arrived. Of course our menfolk Iways say a innllii.i: party is nothing more than an excuse to get iogether to gossip! Well, I mu.M admit tongues were wagging I think we discussed everything from Italy's surrender to baby diapers. Yes, there was fun and lainrhtcr, and (|iie*tionii aj>out where our boys were and how they were getting along. Neigh- bor met neighbor with whom she hardly had time to exchange greetings all summer. Two quilts were finished and the third one nearly done, and during a brief business meeting it was decided that we would fill twenty ditty bags for the Navy League. So whatever the men may say I think we managed to put in a pretty good afternoon's work. What do you think, ladies? Harvest work is not yet com- pleted in this district. We still have our barley to get in and some of our neighbors have theirs to cut. The ground is very hard and dry so dry that very little wheat has as yet been sown. Farmers are worrying already about what to feed their stock next winter. Yes, 1 know there is Western grain that we are urged to buy, but the farmer who has to buy grain isn't likely to have much for all his work when his eq;g and milk cheques come in. And dear help the farmer who has to buy a cow! It takes a lot of milk to pay the price of even ono old hossie. So, go easy on your milk and eggs, Mrs. City Housewife, for the supply is get- ting shorter every day. One inch of rain represent! more tlian 100 tons to the acre. HAPPY EYETIES Truckin' on down the st roots of C'atuniu, tlic.se Italian soldiers literally danced into captivity as they surrendered to British.

Let us go Into the houso of Jelur ah. Psalm 122:1 THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time. The Sermon on the Mount was delivered in the sum- mer of A.D. 28; the interview w-itli the rich young ruler was Feburary. A.D. 30; the two verses from John's Gospel are a part of a mes- sage Riven the first week of April A.D. 28. Place. The Sermon on the Mount, on a mountain near Caper- naum; Ihe interview with the ruler took place in Perea; the events of John 5 occurred in Jerusalem. Old Testament Law "Think not that I came to des- troy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to ful- fil." Not merely were the require- ments of Moses to continue in force, but also all that was taught by the other Inspired writers, the prophets. No part of the existing scriptures was to be set aside "For verily I say uuto you. Till heaven and earth pass away, one Jot or one tittle shall in no wis pass away from the law, tilt all things be accomplihhed." The ex- pression 'one Jot or one tittle' has been aptly compared to our English saying, the dot of an T or the cross of a V. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so. shall (>< called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom q heaven." If a man teach that any command- ment of Ood is unimportant, pos- sibly behind his teaching is tlia fact that he himself is breaking that commandment. No man teach- es a commandment with power If he U breaking It In his own life. True Rightrousnesi "For I say unto you. that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of eaven." God Is the absolute and eternal standard of right. Consequently, human conduct is righteous. an it conforms to Ills will and approxi- mates to His character. Christ'* Answer "And hehold, one came to him and said, teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him. why askest thou me concerning that which Is good? One there is who Is good: but If thou wouldest outer Into life, keep the commandments." Christ knew that what thin man wanted was a master, and man has only one Master Hod whose commandments must be kept. "He saith unto him. which? and Jesus said, Thou shall not kill Thou slialt not commit adultery, Thou slialt not steal. Thou shall not bear false witness. Ilonor thy .father and thy mother; and Thou shall love thy- neighbor as thyself." Disobedience to these lawn means Kin in the slKht of Qod. "Tho young man n:ilth unto him. all theso things have I observed what lack I yet?" The young man Is dimly aware of something wanting, whether In his obedience or not, at all events in his peace; and he Is right In holicving that the reason for the conscious void Is something wanting In his con. duct. Christ's Two-Fold Command "Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which tlion hast, and give to the poor, and thou shall have treasure in hoaven: and come, follow me" We should understand that this command of our Lord's to the young man to sell all that he had Is not necessarily what Christ says to every person, or indeed, to ev- ery one who Is wealthy. The reason It was Insisted upon for this cer- tain young man was that ho had Hindu wealth his idol.

RADIO REPORTER By REX FROST For some considerable time there has been animated discus- sion in North America "regarding the virtues and vices of public ownership as compared with pri- vate ownership. In war-torn Great Britain, It is perhaps significant of the character of a fighting people that Parliament as well as the Press are currently taking time out to mull over the pros and cons of the government controlled radio network known as the Bri- tish Broadcasting Corporation. The argument has been stimulated due to the fact that the Charter of the B.D.C. will expire shortly. It's rather Interesting to note two characteristic arguments which represent the exchange of viewpoints. One periodical which criticises the B.B.C. on the score of "timidity" goes on to remark . . . "Part of the remedy lies in encouraging the growth of per- sonalities on the air. instead of doing everything possible to pre- vent it. Individual broadcasters should he allowed to do their best to Interest, to please, if necessary to annoy, instead of being neutral voices reading scripts from which anything calculated to offend any- body has been carefully removed." "American Broadcasting has life and more variety than the B.B.C." it goes on to say. Then It points out that the reason for this is that the four big American networks compete most fiercely and directly for the listener's and the adver- tiser's favour, and both liveliness and variety are the result. Com- petition might achieve this with- out advertising, but advertising without competition certainly would not, it ventures to suggest. All of which summed up affirms that competition, whether It's In radio or any other line of endeavour. Is the soul of business. And advertis- ing in any form Is the soulmate of competition. September is the "come back" month of radio. So Its rather un- usual to hear of well known pro- -.IVMIUI- . leaving the air. Yet that is the case with the popular C.B.S. ceptance of Jesus, then we must part with it. Refusal To Obey "Bui when the young man heard tho saying, he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions" Why did he go away? Because he decided that his wealth, and all that it would buy. was more necessary for him than eternal life. Ho was willing to give up all the sins of which he was not guilty but he loved money more than he did Ood. Secret Of Eternal Life "Ye search the scriptures, be- cause y think that In them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; find ye will not come to me. that ye may have life." It is our plain duty to read the Scriptures. Men have no right to expect spiritual light If they neglect the great treasury of all light. The need of the human heart Is just this of which the Scriptures speak eternal life. It is that which the rich young ruler longed for. It is that which our Lord Insisted upon us being absolutely essential, hut It could not be found outside of him. team of "Vic and Sade" which left the air last week.
