A FARM WIFE CHATS TO WOMEN y Gwendoline P. Clark* Early this week our son re- turned home from his holiday in Quebec and I am convinced it would take a magician to keep up with his coming and going around home. One minute he is in the field with the tractor and the next thing we know he is streaking down the road with the car for oil; or a repair, or may- be only to mail a letter. Into the house for dinner, and then before Partner and I have hard- ly started he is through eating and away again. Sitting still is like some sort of punishment to him. He is definitely a young man in a hurry but to go where and to do what ah, that's some- thing that nobody knows. When a man is in the army it's a case of "Their's not to reason why their's but to make reply." * But back to the farm. Most of the week has been taken up with ploughing, dressing chick- ens and all the hundred and one ordinary chores that have to be done from day to day. Thursday or Friday I forget which Daughter phoned that perhaps she and some friends would be out on Sunday to dinner. That was fine we were delighted. Came Sunday morning and we overslept! That was a bad start. Then before Partner came into breakfast I was working around the cookstove when sud- denly down near the floor I saw fire! * * Perhaps I should explain that in our dining-room we have a huge open fireplace which we do not use. To close it we have a big piece of galvanized sheeting right across the fireplace which is kept in place by boards along th sides and bottom. It was the sheeting that was red hot in one place and one board was smould- ering. I knew Partner was just coming up to the house so I threw water on the hot spot un- til he arrived. Then we took the sheeting away and there we found a nice red fire on the hearth an accumulation of soot which had by some means become ignited. There was no danger once the shteting and framework were taken away so we sat down to breakfast. But after breakfast Partner decided that the fire- place would have to be cleaned out. Nice job for Sunday morn- ing, wasn't it? * And then there was the kit- chen floor to wash. It just had to be done because no matter how careful anyone is- and Partner is careful soot has a way of scat- tering itself around the floor. Well, somehow or other we got ourselves out of the mess, but I moved around so fast that once when I caug'ht sight of my- self in the glass I noticed I had the appearance of a well-boiled beet. Fortunately our visitors were late in arriving so that I was ac- tually ready for them when they came. Of course after they got here our troubles were forgot- ten such is the charm of a friendly little get-together. Now they have gona again Son Bob has also done the dis- appearing trick so here we are alone again, Partner and I, the dog, the cat and the radio. Do we sound lonely? We may, but we're not, because you see, Partner and I are a regular old Darby and Joan. GWENDOLINE P. CLARKE. Simple, Well-Chosen Word* Are The Best Iu developing a vocabulary, as In everything else, quality is to be preferred to mere bulk. There is little to be said for knowing thousands of words If the words themselves arc such bastard growths as "finalize." "motivate," "keynote" and the like. Eloquent men are those who use good worils with skill. Shakespeare wrote many of his finest passages in the simplest of language, but he knew how to use plain words with ex- quisite art. If any man seeks to improve his chances In life by building up his vocabulary, let him remember that quality in words is far more important than quan- tity. Peterborough Examiner. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON TRUTHFULNESS AT ALL TIMES November 28 Exdou* 20:16 23:1, 7; Matthew 5:33-37; John 8:42-45 GOLDEN TEXT Wherefore, putting awy fal.ehood, speak ye truth each one with hi* neighbor: for we are members one of an- other. Ephesians 4 :25. Memory Verse: ThoU, Jehovah, hast made me glad. Psalm 92:4. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time The Ten Commandments were given in 1445 B.C.; the Ser- mon on thj Mount was delivered in the summer of A.D. 28; our Lord's words about those who refuse to believe in Him were uttered in mid-October, A.D. 29. Place The Commandments were g-iven on Mount Sinai; the bermon on the Mount was preach- ed not far fom Capernaum; the discourse from John 8 was spoken in Jerusalem. - Lying Is Forbidden "Thou shalt not bear false wit- ness against thy neighbor." When we repeat our suspicions of an- other as though thos ' are the truth; when our words are not warranted by the facts; when we \indicate ourselves by laying the charge falsely on others, these are a few ways in which we bear false witness. "Thou shalt not take up a false rei-ort: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked." One should refuse to countenance in any way any act of injustice. The innocent and righteous are to be protected against their per- secutors. To be the cause of their death by making false accusa- tions against them would bring God's punishment upon the guilty person. The Use of Oaths "Again, ye have heard that it v/as said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths." This means 'Thou shalt not swear to a falsehood.' "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the Throne of God." Our Saviour is evidently not referring to judicial oaths but to the com- mon custom of swearing in pri- vate conversation; of swearing on every occasion, and by every- thing. No Oaths Necessary "Nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jeru- salem, for it is the city of tha great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make on hair white or black." Because Heaven, earth, Jerusalem, were so closely re- lated to God they were sacred, and to treat swearing by these as a trifling matter was to trifle with God. "But let your speech be. Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one." What our Lord means here is that a man should so live, and his reputation for truth be so sound, that all he would need to do is to say 'No* or 'Yes* in answer to any question, in a courtroom or in a private con- versation, and he would be im- plicitly believed and no oath would be necessary. Christ The Truth "Jesus said unto them, If God vere your Father, ye would love me : for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 1 ' Their attitude to the Son of God was moral proof that God was not their Father. If they were the children of God they would love the Son also. Our Lord empha- sizes the fact that it was not o His own self-determination He came into the world. He came because it was the Father's will He should come. The Unbelieving Jews "Why do ye not understand my speech'.' Even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning. And stand- eth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh * lie, he gpeaketh of his own; for he U a liar, and the father thereof." Christ spoke of 'Heavenly things' and because they were minding: only earthly things HU language was strange and foreign to them. Until their hearts were changed it was a moral impossibility for them to understand spiritual truths. The implication of this verse is: A man who aligns himself with the evil one, is doing what the devil wants him to do. A man who lies is an enemy of God, is taking sides against God. They Will Not Felieve "But because I say the truth, /*. believe me i.ot." They would listen to the devil and believe a lie, but the Messiah speaking the truth they would not believe. Their manner of living, their love of sin, their pride these made it impossible for them to receive the truth. To the man who loves sin the truth is repulsive because it rebukes him, and he prefers to believe a lie. The Book Shell WHICH KIND OF REVOLUTION? Bv W D. Herridge This is a call foi immediate action by the American people. Mr. Herridg* has believed for tei. years that in the battle against want and unemployment English- speaking democracy has been fighting with one hand tied be- hind its back. Our wealth in natural resources was great enough to lift the people to a new level of security safe and lasting. But we are using only part of the resources because under our economic system profits come first and production sec- ond. The common man, in the present war, has seen how much wi can produce, so he will not again be willing to live in an economy of scarcity. English- speaking democracy has failed and must be regenerated; other- wise to deny the common man an economy of abundance we must go to Fascism, and if English- speaking Fascism is to prevail, it must defeat anti-Fascist forces the world over. Revolution is in- evitable, says Mr. Herridge. Mr. Herridge knows what he is talking about and says it with the staccato burst of a machine gun. Many won't like what he has to say, *>ut no reader can come away from the book with- out feeling profoundly moved and stimulated. Which Kind of Revolution? . . . By W. D. Herridge ... Mc- Clelland & Stewart Limited . . . Price $2.00. Alberta Beet Crop Worth $6,000,000 Five thousand workers, a cos- mopolitan army of r a nadians, British, Americans. Scandinavi- ans, native Indians, Chinese, Jap- anese and some 500 prisoners of war, have just about completed the fastest beet harvest in the 25-year history of the sugar in- dustry in Southern Alberta. The BAOIO REPORTER 87 REX FROST v.%. Likely you recognize them . . . the "Sunday a: Sseven" team of Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, who are now settling down to a Hollywood winter after the opening broadcasts of the season in New York. Apparently Jack's principal worry is that his arch enemy Fred Allen will be back on the air Decembnr 12, as lack puts it ... "To spoil the Xmas season"! Earlier in the season there was some doubt regarding Fred Allen's return to the airwaves ... a question of heav\ movie com- mitments and the fact that the jovial funster has not been en- joying particularly good health of late. We learn that most of Fred's old gang will be on hand to go visiting with him down Allen's Alley and to partake of the fun that's always provided in the final ten-minute sequence of the Sunday evening half hour show. Fred Allen will be featur- ed over the Columbia Broadcast- ing System, including CFRB, at y.30 to 10 p.m. Sunday evenings. * * A very definite reminder that Christmas is in the air and on the air. Last Saturday Santa Claus commenced a series of tri- weekly broadcasts over CFRB. . Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- day 4.45 p.m. will bring that hearty jovial laugh which is Santa's theme song together with the mirth and merriment which harvest is expected to be worth well over $15,000,000. A long stretch of dry weather in midsummer cut down produc- tion, but a higher sugar content of the crop is expected to boost output beyond the 110.000,000 pounds of sugar turned out in the 11)42-43 season. This year, Southern Alberta seeded 29,300 acres to beets, and production is estimated at be- tween 320.000 and 330,000 tons, compared to 342,285 tons obtain- ed from 27,511 acres in I'.M'J. At the moment, officials are confident tne 1!)43 sugar yield will pass the 110,000,000-pound re- cord set last year. Average beet tonnage this year is 11 tons to the acre, but the sugar content of the crop is placed at 18 per cent., compared to 16 to 17 per cent, last year. form his stock in trade. We'r told he'll pack his three 15-min- ute broadcasts with as muck merriment and laughter as ever. * Calling all book lovers . . . , Dr. G. G. Sedgewick, head of the Department of English.
