THK T.E.SSON IN ITS SETTING Time â€" The gospel entered Eur- ope by the preaching of Paul at Philippi, probably in the jear .\.D. 51. The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians was written in O.D. 64 or 64. Place â€" The main event of our lesson occurred in the city of Phil- ippi, a famous Roman colony in northern Greece, the territory k.nown as Macedonia. Faithful to the Lord "And on the Sabbath Day we went forth without the gate by a river side If ye have judged n e to be faitliful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. .A.nd she constrained us." Lydia was not ashamed to con- fess her Lord in baptism. Failure to confess Christ from the begin- ning has been the cause of many forsaking Chribt or becoming mere nominal Christians. Lydia was anxious to know more of the truth of Christ and thus she offered hos- pitality to Paul and his compan- ions. How beautiful she expresses herself! If you have 'judged me to be faithful to the Lord', that is, if you trust me as being a genuine behevcr, come and have fellow- ship with my household. Gain In Christ "Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. Yea, verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus my Lord: for whom I suf- fered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ." Anything that would compete with Christ as his Sav- iour, Paul renonnc s, counts it as loss. To know Christ was far more excellent than to possess all his SWHEET VENGEANCE With his warships back in majoi f ction for the first time' since the (jark days of 1942, the sound of I heir guns scoring direct hits on laerman vessels trying frantically •to evacuat« troops from Sevastopol was undoubtedly sweet music to the ears of Vice-Adml. Filip S. Okty- abrsky. above, tough chief of Rus- sia's Black S«a fleet. past privileges. Paul looked on tliem in com,jarison as less than nothing. In Christ was great gain, incomparable gain, for he found in Him the things he had failed to find in Judaism. Righteousness Through Christ "And be found in him, not hav- ing a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith." To pile up a righteousness by t^ie accumula- tion of individual righteous acts is hopeless, but to receive righteous- ness from God through Jesus Christ is the fina'. deliverance of a man from dependence upon Iiis own struggles. Paul's Earnest Desire '"That I may know him, and the power of resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, be- coming conformed unto his death." To know the risen Lord in all His risen power was the earnest desire of Paul. He also desired to share the fellowship oi" His suf- feringSr to enter into Hi= sorrow ir the great work of redeeming a lost world. In his experiences the Apostle had the prospect of death continually before him. Truly he was being made eomformable un- . to His death. Paul Presses On "If by any means I may attain unto the ressurection from the dead. Not tliat I have obtained, or am already, made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold Oil by Christ Jesus." Paul distinctly asserts he has not reach- c' perfection, it is a state that al- ways lie ahead. He yearns to gain the glorious prize for which Christ apprehended him on the Damascus road. lie knovis that by grace he will be found perfect in Christ in the last day. The High Calling of Goo "Brethren, I count not my.self yet to have laid !iold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to things which are before." Like the runner who looks not back but keeps his eyes on the goal ahead, so Paul forgets the tliing.» of the pats and keeps his eyts on the goal ahead. Perfection, eternal fellow- ship with Christ, these lie before him. "I press on toward the goal un- to the prize i the liigli calling of God in Christ Jesus." The prize of the racer was a crown of olive or laurel. The prize of tli. Chris- tian is an incorruptible crown (I Cor. 9:24). God had called the .\postle to this high and heavenly effort even as he calls to us to loolc i eavcnward for the Saviour. W'c think the other fellow lias more luck than we do. It may ho th.'^t he h:\~ more pluck. Giirdeii_Notes General Care The mo.st important job, after a garden is planted, is cultivation. There arc other?, too, and^ they' should not be neglected but of all of them, the experts agree, tmiely cultivation heads the list. The major object is not just to destroy weeds, though that is a valuable by-product, but to stir up the soil, to check evaporation, let in air and to generally produce a healthy environment for the growing plants. After heavy rains, which will pound the soil flat and encourage hard surface baking when the sun comes out, it is especially desir- able to go over the garden with a cultivator. In the small Victory plot or flower bed, cultivation can be carried out with a hand tool. Where the establishment is larger, a rake, hand-drawn cultivator or a horse or motor-power scuffler or cultivator will do the worK. Most professionals make it a regular practice to cultivate once a week during June and early July, and especially after each heavy rain. One should be careful, however, not to work the soil when it is still wet and soggy. This will do more harm than good as it is liable to pack the grouii.I into hard lumps which will bake in the hot sun. It is important to w:>it until the gardeh soil remains moist but not ni'.iddy. Buying Plants For tpiick results, the use of started or bedding plants will help. These may be secured from the i.eareit seed firm or florist or pro- fessional gardener. They are plants from seed sown indoors, usually in a hotbed or greenhouse, and are well grown when set out- doors as soon as danger from frost is over. They now come In a great variety of both flowers and veget- ables. Only by the use of certain started plants is it possible to get flowers and vegetable maturity in some parts of Canada. Petunias, for in- stance, would hardly reach blooming stage in most parts of Canada if sown from seed outdoors. The same is true of tomatoes, and pos- sibly of cabbage and other things. In transplanting these ffom the flats or baskets in which we buy them, one should water well, and if the sun is hot -t is a good thing to provide a little shade for a day of two. Also, if these plants are in flower or are very tall, it is advisable to snip off flowers and pinch back main stems to encour- age stocky growth.

BftDIO REPORTER =w...v One oi the outstanding jobs that is done in Canadian Radio Broad- casting, is the work of the com- mittee which lines up the Victory Loan Broadcasts. These have been an outstanding part of eve:y loan drive, to date, and the broad- casts for the sixth Victory Loan now in progress have surpassed all others. We have heard at tim s the Guy Herbert odd spot of criticism ai)Out the cost of bringing American Radio Screen and Stage stars to Canada for these broadcasts. This criticism is entirely without aijy back-ground because the only.- cost involved is the actual traveHiiig expenses of the artists who come here. Not one of these outstanding st.ars has ever been paid. In addition to the chore of coming to Canada and working on the broadcasts and toiling countless hours of rehearsal, long and ted- ious travelling in some cases, these American Stars make personal ap- pearances, at no cost t« the gov- ernment, at our Naval, Army and -Mrforce centres and our War plants, and take just as much in- terest in Canada's War effort as they do in their own. So instead of any criticism there should be heartfelt gratitude to these Stars for their contribution to Canada's War effort. .\s a matter of fact it was a trip in aid oi Cajiada's War Loan tiiat nearly cost comedian Jack Benny his life. He came to Canada with a terrible cold but in spite of this insisted carrying on with lis ssjied- ule of engagements. Not only did he carry out his original schedule but he added a number ot extra ones with the resnl he contracted pneumonia and was dangerously ill for some time in Chicago on ' is way back to Hollywood. The nrraiigcmcnts for securing the stars are in the hands of a joint committee . consisting of represen- tatives from Canadian .Association o f Broadcasters, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and the .Vdverti.iing Agencies oi Canada. Most of the credit for securing the stars should go to Mr. Guy Herbert of .\1I-Canada Broadcast- ing Facilities, who spends many weary hours with the \ ic; ry Coin- iiiittoe of the United States, in .«e- curiiig the best a-ailahle talent for C.Tnada's War Lo n Shows.

Bridge In Italy Engineer's "Dream" "The Royal Engineers Dream" is the nickname of a bridge, now be- ing used in the fighting in Italy, which was invented by a British engineer. It can be put. together in a few seconds, flung over a river or chasm, and can support the heav- iest artillery and transport. Its sections are portable yet strong. Details are still secret, and the in- ventor anticipates its wide use ill peacetime in construction work. /', OTTOMAN EMPIRE' HORIZONTAL 1 Depicted country. 6 Its capital. 12 Fruit. 14 Eared. 16 Part of "be." 18 Provided. 19 Hostelry. 21 Musical note.. 22 Parent. 23 Two fives. 25 Electrified particle. 26 Money of accoiuit. 28 Peri. 29 Boat paddle. 31 Completes, 33 Model. 35 Bones. 38 Astronomical instrument. 39 Tear again. 40 Vegetable. 41 Poker otake. 43 Fiber knots. 44 Soft mineral, 46 Dance step, 48 Not high. 50 Compass point.
