GHBONIGLES of GINGEB FABM By Gwendoline i Clarke .Some weeki ijo by and at the end of them you feel as if you had done nothinu, been nowhere, and seem nothing and no one. This definitely has not been one of those weeks. Every day h:3 been fuU to its close â€" and beyond it. « « « Wednesday I was just putting the finishing touches to the dining- room, which I had been papering â€" when in walked our son again. He had interrupted his furlough at home to visit his girl friend. Now he was back a^ain to wind up his leave. In the afternoon Parmer and I had tj go away on business, jo that was one day gone. On Thursday, if it rained. Bob and I were gohtg to Hamilton to get tne car wheels straigtened up. If it were • fine Bob was going to work the last of the land with the tractor. The day dawned and it was neither wet or fineâ€" just foggy and damp. We went to Hamilton. When I came back I had all my work to do. But still the trip was worthwhile because we got the car wheels fi.xed although we almost had to go down on our knees to persuade the man to do it. Friday Bob fiiiiilicd working the land and Partner completed his b.ing-de- layed spring seeding. I was washing nearly all day â€" for our- selves and for the .\riuy. That's what I thought anyway from the" array of khaki that got itself into my washing machine â€" and a hand power machine at that, don't forget « * « Early Saturday morning Daugh- ter and a friend arrived for the week-end. The house was a shambles â€" but there was nothing I could do about it â€" at least, not all at once. However the, weather was grand and the whole family was outside more than it was in. But not sitting around â€" dear me, noâ€" our visitors make themselves very useful. Daughter swept and dusted the downstairs rooms for me and then started in to weed the garden. K K « While ill this was going on. Partner, son "Bob and friend Bert went to work on a job that had been worrying Partner for some time â€" mostly because he wasn't able to tackle it alone. Partner will do nearly anything but he does like to have both feet on the ground. .-\nd this was one job where there was no telling where your feet might be. It was trim- ming a tree â€" a very big tree â€" in the centre of the front lawn, and every time there was a bit of wind we have been afraid it would come down and wreck the roof of the house. Bob did the climbing â€" and the sawiiijj â€" .iiid presently one great tiuib after anot^ier came crashing to earth. .\fter dinner there was the wreck.»ge to clear away and all three men were busy chopping, sawing aud carting. Aaii aow, to look at the tree you would hardly know it had been trimmed at all. tiiere :< so much of it left. » • .« Sunday ait.Tuoon Bob went off to visit a favourite uncle iu To- ronto â€" the rest of us went for a short but lovely drive through the country. We might have been driving around yet if Partner had- n't been there. He was the only one who knew which way to go wiieu we got onto strange ground. Of Course Daughter and I had to iuive tlie car stop several times so we c\>uld pick wild flowers. .After all. who could drive by nodding columbines and sweet-scented phlo.x* .\fter supper there was the usual scramble to crowd a lot more into a little time.

Time. â€" I'Ve Second Epistle to Timothy was written at the end of the .\postle Paul's life, probably ii .\. D. 67. Place. â€" This Epistle was, of course, written from the city of .'^cme, and wi-s ser.t to Ephesus, tcr Timothy was living in that city at tills time. Enduring All Things "Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Teshs." Timothy is not to be strong iu his own st-engt* , he is not charged to be self-riliant he is to realize his own w-^akr.ess and draw upon 'The grace thi: is in Christ Jesus. "\nd the things which thou hast heard from nje amon^ many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men. who shall be :tbl« to teach others also." Is it not a beautiful trait in Pal's character, that in the hour when martyrdom was near he was concerned not about himself, but about the con- tinuance of the Word and the Kingdom of Christ. Soldier of Christ "Suffer hardship with me. as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No soldier on service entangleth him- self in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who en- rolled him as a soldier." -As soldiers of Jesus Christ we are to endure even unto the end and as we endure so we become strong, hardened, able to face anything. Even as soldiers going into battle, the Christian warfare de- mands our entire thought and attentiotL Our supreme aim must be to please our Heavenly Captain in ail things. Christ, The Sinless Sufferer â- â- Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, ot the seed of David, according to my gospel: wherein I suffer hardship tinto bonds, as a malefactor ; but the word of God is NEW FLAG OF ROYAL CANADIAN ARMY CADETS The new flag of the Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, shown above.

Directly below the maple leaf and rolled inwards is th« scroll in gold, with the Cadet motto "Acer Acerpori". (As the Maple. So the Sapling) in green. Below the scroll is the numi>er of the Cadet Corps in black Ara'oic numerals. Liot bound." Christ has not only endured every kind of suffering, including its extreme form, death, but He has conquered it all bjc rising again. He is not only the sin- less sufferer, but also the trium- phant Victor over death and hell. "Therefore I endure all thimis for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory." Paul endured many things that thousands of sin-enslaved men and women in The Roman Empire should obtain salvation by Jesus Chris:. Promise To Sinners "Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall de- ny him. he also will deny us." This verse affirms the eternal fact of His life. His uidissolubte rcsurrec- tion â€" life, as the secret and strengtli of tlie hfe of His believ- ing tollowers. It looks upward and onward to His everlasting reign in glory, and to the promise that the sinners He has saved shall actually share that glory with Him. Proof of Ministry "But be Thou sober in ail things, suffer hard.ship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry." Ti- mothy was ever to be vigilant and sober. He wouW have need to watch in all things, and especially to watch his own moral and spirit- ual life. N'o opportunity is to be Io>t in preaching the glad tidings ot the Liospel. .\s Timothy became an example to his flock, and his mi- nistry was profitable to the conver- sion of sinners, so would he give full proof of his ministry. Ready to Depart "For [ am already 'jeing offered and the titne of my departure is come". Paul feels The hour of hii martyrdom has come. The shedd- •ng of his blood was to be a:i otter- QUEEN MEETS A 'TREE' TALKING Looking more like a tree than a human being, a heavily camou- flaged British sniper stands at attention as Queen Elizabeth chats with him during inspection tour of airborne units.

I havt kept rhe faith; henceforth there is laid up for me the crown Of righteousness, which the Lord, tb« ri^tteoas judge, shall give to m« at that day: and not to tne only, but also to all them that havejoved his appearing." Paul further im- presses the fact that his earthly career is ended; and he refers ta that career, not merely to express his rightful satisfaction, but to en- courage Timothy to follow his ix- ample.
