- "reminder of th Arabian Locusts Menacing Egypt An Editorial In The Water town (New York) Times Swarms of locusts gathering in Arabia and Yem and threaten fog to descend on Egypt are a strange contra- diction in life whereby the foolish things of the world may cghfound the wise, and the weak thing: con. found things which are mighty, ly as are the bombers of Qoering, this winged outfit, though each unit. is Yundreds of times smaller than the machines of the fleld marshal, is capable of doing exceeding damage. Whoever wishes any 'visible proof of thelr accom- plishments has but to recall their activities In the screened version of Pearl Buck's "The Good Earth." The insects came in clouds and ate everything that lay before them, while the poor chinese farmers fought them: as they could with fires and smoke. The sight of those greedy, crawling creatures and the sound of thelr grackling were some- thing to haunt the beholder for long after, The British are on guard against the locusts, and ready on their own metal wings to fly on and report of their move- ments. Nor Is it the first time that locusts have been known to the country of the former Pharaohs, 'When the Children of Israel were In the bonds of the Egyptian rulers a plague of locusts was visited upon Egypt. An east wind brought them and "there were no such locusts as they." They "covered the face of the whole earth so that the land was darkened; and they- did eat every herb in the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left, and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the fteld, through all the land of Egypt." That was too much for even Pharaoh and he was repentant and asked ta be relieved of this awful curse, Then came a mighty west wind which drove the locusts into the Red Sea and as the story goes' "there remained not one locust in _all the coasts of Egypt." If the Arabian-gathering locusts could be dragvn Into the service of the Allies ey might today: be- come helpful in the aging of an- other ren for liberty. : . 11: To Resume Airmail Service To U. K. Airmail service from Canada to the United Kingdom via New- foundland and Eire--the north ern route--is to be resumed at once, Postmaster General Jock has announced. The' service will be operated twice weekly in each direction, but under present conditions no information. respecting dates or other details of such flights will - be revealed. Resumption of the trans-At- lantic airmail service, suspended' early in the war between Canada and the United Kingdom, will save many days over the exist- ing airmail service via Lisbon, Portugal. The mail 'planes will span the 2,600-mile. stretch over the At- lantic in about 24 hours, it is an- ticipated, and through connec- tion with trans-Canada air mail network, via the Pacific coast with Britain in about two days, Approaching Summer and more favorable weather conditions will ensure regular service and a high-- degree of efficiency, the Post Office Department anticipates. The air mail rate from Canada to the United Kingdom is 30 cents a half ounce or fraction thereof, which includes convey- ance over Canadian domestic routes when necessary. Cellular Rubber Extremely Buoyant A new life raft made of newly discovered cellular rubber which - will hold 30 persons and has twice the buoyancy of cork was dis- elosed. in New York by the United States Rubber Company. Because of the extreme lights ---ness of the cellular rubber--com- posed of millions of small cells filled with nitrogen gas--the raft ean be thrown overboard in a torpedo sinking when there is not time to launch a regular lifeboat or raft. The new form of hard cellular rubber is also being used as in- sulation under decks of mosquito type torpedo boats, and the soft material in life jackets for the United States Engineers, Also a fire resistant, hard cellular rub- ber is being used -as supports of melf-gsealing tanks in airplanes, It has structural strength, is a non-conductor of heat, will not _ absorb moisture and is resistant to rot, 'acids, and termites, It ean be cut by a band or power saw or planed like wood, and can be manufactured in a soft or hard form or in soft synthetic where ofl is present.. An import-. ant use after the war will be in wall boards for building. 3 4 Tr * Lee tad] ret Ad) % we 1 elt SEA 4 HARE v 2G Léa ey 3 is Fh IIS, po A 3 a -- 5 = ER ee == Eerie Mu- - oy ~tinudlly obey them. ~~ tn moc wIT=Z Bei ) A (0) (0) ze LESSON 20 TUESDAY: THE DAY OF wi CONFLICT » Matthew 21:23-23:39 PRINTED TEXT Matthew 22:41-223:12 GOLDEN TEXT. -- The stone which the' builders rejected, The . same was made the head of the cornér. Mark 12:10; _ THE'LESSON IN ITS SETTING "Time.--Tuesday, April 4, A.D, 80. ~ Place.--In Jerusalem, 'probably in the temple. 41. "Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42, say- ing, What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David." By the word Christ, our Lord meant the Messiah, for the Hebrew word Messiah was translated in the Greek language as Christos, both words meaning the 'anointed one.' That the Messiah is the son of David is clearly taught in Psalm 110, and in 2 Sam, 7, and is con- tinually referred to in the New Testament. The Son of David 43. "He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying, 44. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet? 45, If David then calléth him Lord, how is he his son? 46. And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions." Then Christ asked them, if the Messiah was to be the son of David, how could they account for the fact that in this very Messianic Psalm, David who wrote the Psalm, speaks of his son the Messiah as Lord. How could a man have a son whom he referred to as divine? The son might call the father Lord as his master or superior, but how could the father, a king, speak of his son in this way? I David's .Lord } This question of Christ was a revealing question. Their con- ception of Messiah was a wrong conception, They came to him about their politics, they expected a Messiah who would lead an army, and break the yoke and set them free; but the said, You do not know your Messiah. You think of Him as coming in Dal vid's line, but He is more than David's Son, He is David's Lord. Exhorting the Multitude 1. "Then spake Jesus to the multitudes 'and to his disciples, 2. saying, The scribes and the Phari-- sees 'sit on Moses' seat: 3. all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not." Christ here is careful to distinguish be- tween the office of those false religious teachers and their actual: practice. : He recognizes that they are worthy of being heard, as far as they upheld the Mosaic Law. They were said to 'sit in Moses seat'; that is, to be acting in his i place and to proclaim his laws as teachers of the revealed will of God. In so far as they were true to such a sacred office they were to be obeyed. It was their prac- .-tices however, which were to be especially their failure _ avoided, to follow their own precepts, To Be Seen of Men 4, "Yea, they bind heavy bur- dens and grievous to be borne, and lay them Gp-men's shoulders; but they thensélves will not move them with their finger. 5. But "all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the bor- ders of their garments, 6. and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats -in the synagogues." "The héavy' burdens here referred to are the manifold, and often ridiculous, interpretations of the law of Moses, which these re- ligious leaders insisted that men must obey; elaboratd laws con- cerning washing, "the Sabbath, business relationships. - Men could not -even remember the different laws they enacted, much less con. Phylactery signifies in classical Greek a guarded post, then a safeguard, finally" an amulet, as guarding against evil. Christ, The Master 1 "And the ealutations in the market places; and to be called of men, Rabbi. 8, But be not 'ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren. 9. And call no man your father on the earth: for one. is your Father, even he who is in heaven. 10. Neither be ye called masters, - for one is your master, even the Christ." What our Lord prohib- its is desire for the. distinction involved in being recognized as a religious teacher, Servants of Men 11, "But he that is greatest: among you shall be your servant. 12, And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted."

It's a fact, Perhaps not quite a fact from the strict angle of the clinical records of many - that would accompany a médical statement, ~ bat---dt- least for the purpose of this essay--a fact! : . . The statement comes from a faithful worker in the Ottawa Blood Donor 'Clinic of the Red Cross. Five days a week at that establishment streams of men and women go to offer five-sevenths of a pint of blood to be made into plasma and.shipped to Enland for Canadian soldiers and bombed , Britigh civilians, | For some reason or other -- largely psychological in the opin- ion of some of the volunteer work- ers--soite of the donors faint. It can't be from loss of blood--many a soldier has lost more than that enough to "bawl out" the sweat. ing stretcherbearers for clumsi- ness. It is hardly likely the rea- son is delicacy--for, in most cases, the fainter is apt to be a big husky male, while a little half-pint of a woman js not bothered at all At the Montreal clinic on one occasion six men were sitting in the rest room enjoying the hot, sweet tea or coffee that 1s given to each donor while he rests for a few mniinutes following bis turn on the table, when one of them keeled over. He was followed in a matter of minutes. by four of the remaining five. What has all this to do with the Tndividual Citizen's Army? Quite a lot! For one thing--and I should make it clear that many more people give their blood without fainting than do faint--the- giving of blood is a definite and easy piece of soldiering that we can do in our spare time. For another, this gives one ex- ample of why it is necessary for us to go easy on the sugar---there are many better uses to which It can be put than just sweetening beverages Two facts--that it is against the law to hoard sugar, and that the Red. Cross Blood Donor Clinic can put sugar to good use--were brought homé to Montrealers re- cently when more than a quarter of a ton of sugar was handed over to the Red Cross by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. It had been seized from a hoard- er who was fined $100 and costs for "withholding from supply." After the fine was paid there still remained the question of the sugar. While the fine had expiated the offence it was still not possible for the owner to keep the sugar. It is against the law to have more than two weeks' ration of sugar in your possession, Hence the windfall for the Blood Clinic, which now has a year's-- And do you know what that year's supply will do? The clinic send to Toronto for processing 400 units of blood per week. That means that 400 blood donors get 400 sweetened bever ages to help them recuperate and by simple multiplication it shows that the once-hoarded sugar will play its part in making possible the shipping of 20,000 pAnits of blood plasma to where it is most needed, Not all of us are handy enough fo a blood clinic to be able to offer our blood--neither is every soldier in the front line. In fact it takes quite a number of soldiers behind the line to keep one at the front. ~-- Of course in these days of mobile warfare it is sometimes hard to tell if the front line is in front, behind or at one side so every soldier, even if he belongs to what was a non-combatant service, is now trained to fight.

Wheat Acreage Cut In Western Canada Decrease of approximately 800,000 acres in Western Can- -ada's wheat acrcage from last year is estimated. in a prelimin- ary survey by the agricultural de- partment of the Canadian Pacific "Railway made public in the first of the railway's weekly crop re- ports, The report says Manitoba's acreage may be about 11 percent down, Saskatchewan's about three percent and Alberta's about two percent.
