a 1 I _-- _ 'Music Lessons In Time Of War Sir Ernest MacMillan, Prin. cipal of Toronto Conserva. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON tory, Says Children's Le Interrupted Now Will Be Re- gretted Later -- Valuable To Education « Discussing the question of musle * fessons In war time, Sir Ernest MacMillan, principal of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, recently had this to say: "In this war to pre- serve clvilization, when everything we have been taught to value is at stake, no sacrifice is too great to ensure a victory. The war is being fought so that our children will live in a better world, It would be a tragedy it we, in defending the civilization we treasure, failed to hand on the-terch to those who follow after us. Every essential side of our children's education must be preserved at all costs. CALLS FOR CO-ORDINATION "A child whose lessons are fn. terrupted after he has begun to learn to play and sing will have more trouble in picking up lost threads In music than in most other subjects: music calls for a co-ordin- ation of faculties more exacting than most subjects and every year lost means a serlous setback, In 60mo cases it y be that what began as a temporary economy may turn into a permanent loss. "Music may seem a luxury fo some, because by its very nati:e it calls for a certain amount of individual instruction; but no edu-' cational subject has proved more universally of value than music. The late President Eliot of Harvard University called music "the best mind-tralner in the curriculum" and statistics bear oyt the claims of ex- porlenced educationalists that, broadly speaking, boys and girls who study music are likely to be better than others at their general 'studies." Canadian Destroyer Commander Praised Nephew of , Prime Minister King, Comm#énder H. N. Lay, mander of the Canadian de- stroyer Restigouche, received high praise when he brought the battle scarred Restigouche home 'to 'a Canadian port from Europ- ean Waters, British authorities gave the entire «few -of the ves- . sel high praise for their work in European waters.

Prov. 4: 23. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING, Time. No definite date can be given for the writing of these chap- ters, but the author of most of the book of Proverbs, Solomon, flour ishpd about 1000 B.C. lace.--No geographical location is mentioned anywhere In this chap- ter. i The emphasis throughout the op- ening section of this chapter, as in. deed throughout the entire book of Proverbs, is on the priceless value and Infinite importance of wisdom, Wisdom has been defined: "In all the complex relations of human life and conduct, to know * and do God's will." Wisdom is to understand, so far as it Is per- mitted to man's finite Intelligence, the manifold adaptation and har- mony, the* beauty and utllity, of God's works and ways, and to turn our knowledge of them to practic. al account, d In this lesson we have a remark- able illustration of the {infinitely surpassing value of parental In. struction, especially In the matters of true character and religious faith, : . Rewards of Wisdom Four, inevitable blessings are promised in thls chapter to those . who truly and consistently embrace such wisdom fn their own life, and let it Instruct them {n all that they plan and undertake: 1, Wisdom will keep such a person from trembling; 2, Wisdom wlll make such a man's life balanced and sane and healthy--whatever he un- dertakes will succeed; 3, wisdom will bring honor from his fellow citizens to such a man; 4, finally, such a man, asjhe goes on in years, will find his whole lite beautified and adorned with a character of strength, a character tried and test- od, a heart at peace because God is known and trusted. " Two Paths of Life The father here informs his son concerning the .two paths of life 'and which one to follow, Prov, 4: 10. 11. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in paths of uprightness. 12, When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straightened; And it thou "runmnest, thou shalt not stumble. Widening of the steps is an Oriental figure for the bold and free movements of one in prosper- ity, as the straitening (narrowing) of them is the constrained and tim- id action of one in adversity. 13. Takeo fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life. --.. 14, Enter not into the path of the wicked, And walk not in the way of evilmen, 15. Avold it, pass not by it; Turn from fit, and pass on, 16. For they slecp not, except they do evil; And their sleep Is unless they cause some to fall. 17. For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of 'vlolence. Instruction of a positive nature urging the son to walk in the way of wisdom is now followed by In- struction of a negatiye form, warn- ing the son to keep far, far away from the path of wicked men. 18. But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shin- eth more and more unto the perfect day. 19, The way ot the wicked is as darkness, They know not at what they stumble, The path of the righteous begins like the light of dawn. It Is sma!l in its bédginning, The new-born Christian is like a rising sun strug: gling through the mists of morn. Life of True Integrity 20, My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21, Let them - not 'depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heaft. 22, For they are life unto those that find: them, And health to. all their flesh, 23, Keep thy heart with all dll. igence; or-out of it are the issues of lite, = . «- The fountains and wells of the East were watched over with spec: fal care, 'A stone was rolled to the mouth of the well so that "a spring shut up, a fountain sealed" became the type of all that is more jealous- ly guarded, So It is here. The heart is such a fountain; out of it flow the fssues of life. ? '24. Put agvay from thee a way- ward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee, The Hebrew word here translat- ed "wayward" means literally dis- tortion, and the phrase {indicates a twisting of the truth; pervérse lips are those that turn aside from the truth, . 25.

Weeds: Farmer's Perpetual Enemy Weeds are the farmer's per- petual enemy and must be fought continually says John D. Mac- Leod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agricul- ture, Toronto. It is unfortunate that nature endows weeds with more ability to maintain and per- petuate themselves than it does cultivated crops. Here are a few figures as quoted in the "Seed World" showing the reproducing qualities of weeds and the number of years they will maintain their germinatien: Seeds per plant Life Dock 8,000 40 yrs., plus Pig Weed 12,000 40 yrs., plus Mustard 20,000 40 yrs., plus Peppergrass 14,000 40 yrs., plus Buckthorn 2,000 40 yrs., plus Dodder 5,000 20 yrs., plus Smartweed 2,000 25 yrs. Sorrell 3,000 20 yrs. Thistle 9,000 20 yrs. In England it was discovered weeds lived in the soil 68 years, The United States Dept. of Ag- riculture planted 107 varieties of weeds and 51 grew after 21 years, proving that weeds once in the soil have an excellent chance to produce at some period. Here are a few disadvantages of weeds: 1. Rob soil of fertility. 2. Make harvesting difficult. 3.-Cut down yields, 4. Reduce quality of crop. 5. Reduce value of land. 6. Take needed moisture from the soil.

A Seed Shortage Coming In 19427 Dominion Agricultural Sup. plies Board Believes Certain Bl-ennial Field Roots May Then Be Short -- Cabbage, + Beets, Cauliflower, Parsnips The Seed Supply Committee ot the Agricultural Supplies Board, which was formed after the out. break of war last September, has been fallowing closely Canadian seed supplies of cereals, fibre flax, forage crops, field roots and garden vogetable® seeds. For the seed sea- son of 1940 normal seed supplies were found- available and the pros- pects for 1941 seed supplies now are favourable. Cayetul investigation of soed stocks on hand, seed fmports and exports and contracts for delivery in 1941 and 1942 indicate a prob- able shortage in 1942 of cortain bt- ennfal field roots and vegetable crops including Mangel, Swede, Gar- den Bect, (Cabbage, Cauliflower, Parsnips and also two annual crops Radish and Spinach, DUTCH SUPPLIES CUT OFF Respective seed shortages from these crops are due to the cutling oft of supplies from Holland and Denmark and to uncertainty as to quantities that may be imported from Great Britain. This situation was reported to the Agricultural Supplies Board, at the conference with representatives of Provincial Departments ot Agrl- culture, held in Ottawa, July 18 to 20. It was agreed at that time that as an insurance against possible shortage in 1942 the production of seeds In Canada from approved sced stocks of these crops of cer- tain definite quantities under a joint plan between Provincial Depart. ments of Agriculture and the Board should be undertaken. The Province's Grain 'Harvest Western Ontario, Water Soaked, Is. Weeks Behind 8chedule -- Central and Eastern Areas Report Much Better Progress Western and Southern Ontario, water-soaked and with less than half of its spring grain crop gar- nered the first week end in Sep- tember, showed marked contrast with the counties in Central and Eastern sections of the Province, according to the weckly crop re- port issued by the Department of Agriculture. Carleton, for cxample, report- ed "splendid harvesting weather." Frontenac reported "80 per cent of the threshing is completed," while in Leeds "milk production is falling somewhat due to dry- ing of pastures." Prince Edward reported "rain is badly nceded." In Northumberland, more than 90 per cent of spring grain crops had been harvested. ENOUGH FEED FOR STOCK? Agricultural officials were hopeful that enough grain was to be harvested in Western and Southern Ontario to supply feed for stock, but were not betting on it. They definitely feared that the sections would not be able to produce seed grain for next spring. Potatoes throughout these entire districts were being at- tacked by blight, and, it were es- timated, scores cf fields would be a total loss, The survey reveals that hun- dreds of acres of fall wheat, which normally should have beea harvested in July, were still in the stook. Sprouting had start- ed in every county in the two areas.
