"If we are to remain In secure possession of this priceless. heritage," he continued, "wo must become active conserva - tonists," There was nd doubt that somo 'flowers had been brought to the brink of extinction by wanton disregard of the need for conserv- ing them." n Chareh Breakfast ---- The men's ¢lub of the First Parish Church of Scituate, Mass, have discovered a new formula for increasing~¢hurch atten dance, Announcement /tha't members, personally, "would serve breakfast before 'services: increased attendance 125 per cent and brought 28 /riew members into church, the largest single unit since it was 'founded, The menu: 16 dozen ambled eggs, bacon, corn 'muffins, doughnuts and coffee. . . d | UNDAY CHOOL ESSON LESSON V ISAIAH GIVES GOD'S INVITATION: Isalah 55 "La Printed Text, Isa. 65:1-11 Golden Text -- "8eék ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near. isa. 55:6, ° . , ; LESSON IN ITS SETTING Timo --- Not definitely given, but probably about 701 B.C, | Place -- Jerusalem, S S L lesson are the things which all men in every ago most deeply long for, and strive for, -- joy in their cwn hearts, prosperity in thelr lives and in their nation, and abiding peace, These are the things that God wants men to have, but they can be permanently possessed only it the way of the Lord here unfold- is followed. INVITATION TO DISILLUSIONED Isa. 55: 1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come yo to the waters, and he that hath 'no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that |__which saflsfleth not? hearken dili: "gently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul de. light itself in fatness, Three Ines. capable realities, existing In the soul of every man without God, are here set forth in strikingly picture is described as thirsting, as hun. - gry, and-as having exhaustéd his resources upon those things which failed to bring the satisfaction he expected from them.

Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your souls shall live: and I will make an everlast- ing covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David, 4. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples a leader and comman- der to the peoples. 5.

SEEK THE LORD 6. Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near: 7. let the wicked for- sako his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;. and let him re- turn unto Jehovah, and he will haye mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly par- don, Here is the very center of our wonderful chapter -- the climax, as ft were, of the gracious invita. tions here extended by an infinite- ly loving God. Four things God asks man to do: to seek the Lord, to call upon the Lord, to forsake the, ways of wlokedness, to return to the Lord, Four things God pro- mises it man will do what. God asks: it he secks the Lord, he will find him; {f he calls upon the Lord, he will be heard; if he forsakes his way and returns unto the Lord, (od will have mercy upon him; and God will abundantly pardon him, 8. For my thoughts are not your ~ thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah, 9. For as "the heavens aro higher than the earth, so are my. ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts, God's way of dealing with sin is-lifted hove all hnman example, It surpasses all our own thoughts, God's pardon is undis- turbed and unhindered by any sense of personal resentment, though sin is an offense ag. inst him; in its freeness, fullness, his pardon melts away also that which it forgives, 10.

"The Canadian Conservation As? sociation was brought into being at this meeting, Among its founders was Prof. V. C. Wynne-Edwards, ot the department of zoology at Me- Gill University, and B. W. Taylor, Quebec provincial biologist and di rector of fish culture. JXPERTS WORK ON IT One of the first objects of the association will be to obtain accur- ate information on all the sporting and conservation groups of the Du- minfon. The association hopes to act as an advisory body for the whole- of Canada 'on problems of conservation involving birds, ani- mals, fish, forests, and, as well, tho problems of soil and water conser vation, which are important in some parts of Canada. The association has a limited membership and includes sports. mon, hiologists, foresters, engineers and other experts, aswell as mem- bers of the. civil service.

While several excellent pro- grams of this kind afte featured during the week -- three in par- ticular stand out in our opinion. First, Revuedeville from CKOC on Sundays at 2.30 is' worth a _half-hour_of anyone's time in our opinion -- and a close runner-up is the Let's All Go To the Music Hall show on the CBC chain from Toronto on Saturday nights at 9.30. Both of teed showe feature well-known British stars in songs and stories -- that sparkle! Then there's a good variety show direct from the Old Land on Saturday afternoon at three -- when the BBC offer the Garrison Theatre.

Thursday -- Talk of The Wild West Deglamorized McGill Study Leaves Us Only the Wide Open Spaces to Conjure With -- No Real Cowboys Devotees of wild west films and literature are due -for a distinct shock when they read the latest volume from McGill University, en- titled "Pioneering in the Prairie Provinces." It is the joint work ot Dr. C. A. Dawson, head of the de- partment of sociology at McGMl and Miss Eva R. Younge, research as sistant in tho department of soelal research, The book is one of a sec: jes of nino-on the gener al topic * 'Car nadian Frontiers of Settlement." Tho "wild and woolly West" "is deglamorized to the 'nth degree in this latest sociological -study, a product of several years research work in the Prairie Provinces, The volume humorously points out: "Scenes are still enacted and deeds are celobrated fn song by cowboys and cowgirls, many of whom have nevér been west of Brooklyn or To- ronto." HARD TO MAKE LIVING Under the heading "Typical Com munities in Action," the volume states that "the. favorite social ga- thoring is the -dance," and "in the summer-time the big event is the annual sports day." No mention is made of the colorful round-up, but there Is detailed description of the task of making a living and of the trials and difficulties which face pioneers and thelr descendants in building up tho fabric of communal ~Hfe. The highlight of the "progress" it seems, is the mounting load of debt as living standards go upward. Farm Notes Beauty Culture For Farm Homes In a remarkable address by Mr. C. H. Hodge, editer of the Farm- er's Magazine, Toronto, on the oc- casion of a recent meeting of the Quebec Horticultural Federation, in Montreal, the topic was the beautification of farm homes in Ontavio. With the aid of coloured lantern slides the speaker describ- ed the transformation of the petitions sponsored by his paper. As Mr. Hodge expressed it, we owe to our children the enduring memory cf "an attractive home, one that in after years they can recall with pleasure and pride, Mr. Hodge showed how marvel- lously the appearance of a faym home can be improved by a little trimming and painting, by tidy- ing up around it, giving some carve to the lawn and especially by planting. flowers, The other day the writer hegrd of a man who of- fered a house for sale at $3000.00 and found no bidder. He then spent £40.00 on a paint job and sold the house easily for $1000.00. Surroundings of the Home The Ontario. Crop Improvement Associaticn -has for its "Better rural conditions through crop improvement." It is a strange anomaly that many a farmer who takes great pleasure and pride in his thriving field 'érops, cultivated and fertilized with consumate care, is indifferent to the immed- iate surroundings of -the- farm house. Thanks to Mr. Hodge, it may now be said that "the-old new" ' Plans Are Laid For 1941 Census War or peace, the decennial cen- sus of Canada will be taken on the schedule in 1941. Officials of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics ave busy preparing foi the counting of heads and the compilation of hun- dreds of. volumes of figures which give a complete picture of the growth of Canada in wealth and in population, On June-2, 1941, some 16,000 en- umerators will start ringing door bells from coast to coast, asking questions and filling in the answers -on big sheets of paper. They will count, not "only the men, women and children fu-Can- ada, but the horses, cows, pigs, sheep and poultry.
