hae They Were Once Fighting Eenmies Churchill Taken Prisoner By 8muts' Men In South African War A cycle of rapid change was dramatized when Field Marshal Jan Smuts addressed & gatheridg of Britain's parliamentarians and, by broadcast, spoke tg the whole world. The event recalls the fact that the Prime Minister of Great Britain and the Prime Minister of ~Bouth Africa were pnce fighting enemies, In 1899 Jan Christiaan Smuts was a soldier in the patriot army resisting the British in' the Boer War, Winston Churchill went out to South Africa as a war correspondent for The London Morning Post, was taken prisoner * by Smuts' men and, after his es- " monwealth. | cape, joined the British Army as a lieutenant in the South African Light Horse. For both men, in fact, that war was the starting point on the road that brought them together in London last week as co-leaders of the British Commonwealth, Churchill won his first seat in Parliament on the strength of his exploits in the Boer War. At its close he made his first lecture trip to the United States to recount his experiences, and even then expressed his respect for "a digni- fied and honorable enemy." Smuts, on his side, acquired a reputation as an able commander in the field, and in the difficult aftermath of the lost struggle manifested those qualities of statesmanship that served his own country so well "in its evolution from an enemy of Britain to a full member of the British Com- He has served the world no less, for no leader has played a nobler part in what he called the other day "the continu- ing drama_of our age." War Kit Meet Jarvis, alias hardy feline mascot of the U. 8. destroyer "Blue," sunk in the Murphy, South Pacific. Fireman James De Hart, holding "Jarvis," also survived the sinking. (Passed by censor.) Toads Destroy Harmful Insects Do Not Cause Warts and Are Not Polsonus Toads have long been held in disfavor by many people, chiefly because these creatures are rather unattractive, are thought to cause warts, and are suspected of being 'poisonous, relates Our Dumb Ani- mals. But few creatures are as worthy of our protection as toads, The large quantities of harmful insects which they destroy is suf- ficient reason to consider them among the most valuable allies of the farmer and gardener. It is estimated that the worth of one toad 'to the farmer is $20 yearly; and many of the larger toads are naturally worth much more, That sum, too, refers to the toad's destruction of cutworms only. Toads also prey upon tent caterpillars, gypsy-moth larvae, May beetles, slugs and many other pests, . Toads differ from frogs in that they have no tecth, have warty skins, and usually move with less rapidity than frogs. Toads, too, are more terrestri.l in their hab- fts. They also have a habit of absorbing, moisture through the skin, and this is their only means of drinking. : Toads ,make interesting pets, and if treated properly, they usu- ally "attain an age of 30 years or more, They cannot cause warts and may be held in the hand with absolute safety, These warts of the toad serve as protection, since they exude a liquid which makes the creature distasteful . to its -enemles, Children should be taught to appreciate and protect toads, which are readily tamed. LESSON 46 THINGS THAT MAR FAMILY LIFE '" Genesis 4:1-12; 27:1.45; Deuter- onomy 24:1.5; Malachi. 2:13.16; Matthew 5:31, 32; Mark 7:10:12; Luke 12:13.15; Romans 7:2, 3; 'l Corinthians 7:10:16. -- PRINTED TEXT Genesis 27:30.45; Matthew 5:31, 32; Luke 12:13-15 GOLDEN TEXT.--Bear ye one another's' burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--Dates are entirely un- important. in this lesson, and, therefore, we classify these vari- ous passages only in a general chronological scheme, The first passage concerning Cain and Abel is located at the very beginning of human history. The event we consider in the life of Jacob oc- curred about 1820 B.C. The laws of Moses were given some 300 years later. Malachi was written about 400 B.C. All the passages from the Gospels refer to the three-year period of our Lord's public ministry, while the two pas- sages from Paul's epistles; in this lesson, were written in AD. 59 and 60. Place.--We do not know where Cain and Abel were living when . the latter was slain, The family of Jacob lived, for the most part, in southern Palestine. Malachi prophesied in Judah. All of the utterances taken from the Gos- pels in this lesson were given in Palestine. The Epistle to the Romans was written from Corinth to Rome, whereas the First Epistle to the Corinthians was written from Ephesus to the Greek city of Corinth. Deception 80. "And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out fram the presence of Isaac his father, that Ksau his brother came in from his hunting, 31. And he also made savory food, and brought it unto his father; and ho said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. 32. And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy first- born, Esau. 33. And Isaoc trem- bled very exceedingly, and said, who then is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and 1 have eaten of all before thou contest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed. 34. When Esau heard the words of his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. 35. And he said, Thy! brother came with guile, and hath taken away thy blessing." Here we have a family broken up by the outstanding vice of de- ception. There is just one way of avoiding such a danger in our own llves. We must determine in our hearts that never, no matter what the cost, or what the situation, will we stoop to deceive any mem- ber of the household, and then, 4 as the years come tnd go, con- fidence is found to be secure, faith in one another is always assured, and no matter how de- ceitful the world, and business life, and social life, may be, in the home each can trust the other, and rest in the confidence and the integrity of' the entire family eircle. - / Unfaithfulness 81. "It was said also, Whoso- ever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce- ment: 32. but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of for- nication, maketh her an adult- eress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away com- mitteth adultery." Our Lord taught that, in the purpose of the Creator, the two sexes were made for each other so that both to- gether made" up the ideal of humanity and that the holy bond of matrimony was the recognition of this fact in human nature. This tie, which is by anything else in- dissoluable, is by the mere fact of ufifaithfulness dissolved. Covetousness ? 18. "And one out of the mul .titude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me. 14, But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15. And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetous- ness: for 'a man's life consisteth not in the 'abundance of the things which he possesseth." We aré not, told whether the man was making an unjust claim on his brother, but he was cer- tainly making an unjust claim on Jesus, whose work did not include sattling of property. The man grasped at any means of obtain. ing what he' desired, invading Christ's time and trying to impose upon hi§ brother an extraneous' authority. Jesus knowing that oovetousness was at the root of the brother's unreasonable request, takes the opportunity of warning the whole multitude against this prevalent and subtle sin, This trquble in the family eof New R.

It has the, de Havilland ~~ three-bladed hydro- matic type propeller, Offensive armaments may consist of four 20 mm cannon and four ,303 ma- chine guns, ' two men, whose names are not given, had already brought about a spirit of bitterness in the heart of one who thought he had been unjustly dealt with, so that al- ready there is a disrupting force in this home, because of the burn- ing desire in the heart of one of these brothers for property, for wealth, for visible things which in part, at least, at this time were in the hands of another member of his family. He was more con- cerned with possession of this property than he was for the wel- fare of his brother or the peace of the home. Here is another rock, the lust for material possessions, on which many and many a home has been wrecked and many a brother separated from his own kin, for all the years of mature manhood; inculcating bitterness, prompting one to speak evilly, maliciously of those involved in such property assignments. Deliverance from this destructive force can be found by making an honest living for ourselves, by desiring to be right with God, by determination not to offend others even though they have offended us, and then, to wait for God Himself to intervene on our behalf if the right is on our side, Three Deer Bagged By King's Daughter Princess Elizabeth went deer hunting with - her father recently in Scotland and bagged three In one day.

The pre-war per acre yleld was about 36 bushels on about. 1,700,000 -- acres, but this year it appeared to have exceeded 40 bushels on about 2,400,000 acres. - "Such a crop means much to Britain in terms of valuable ship- ping space freed to carry war ma- terials other than wheat to the United Kingdom, although it prob- ably also means that Canada's market for wheat and flour In Britain will suffer curtailment," the bureau said, . In addition to a record-breaking Canadian wheat crop estimated at 615,000,000 bushels, the bureau sald that elsewhere "the high tide of world wheat supplies continues to rise." Tho United Kingdom harvest has been gathered, while a fow weeks hence another river of new wheat will flow from the farms in Australia, "In 1942 the bread-grain supplies are stacked high in favor of the United Nations, while Nazi Ger- many and German-occupled Eur ope produced this year 16 percent less bread grain (wheat and rye) than a year ago, and 25 percent less than the average of the four yoars 1935-38, according to a state- mont credited to the British Mine istry of Economic Warfare," ft gaid. The Australian crop is estimat- ed at 145,000,000 bushels of which probably not more than 60,000,000 bushels will be used at home, "leaving 85,000,000 bushels to be added to the accumulated crops which is believed to be quite sub- stantial. . "A high yield per mere in Aus. tralla, a8 in Canada and the Unit- - ed States appears to have more thn offset the reduction in wheat acreage." Raid Leaves 5,000 - 'Homeless In Milan A Swiss Telegraphic Agency dispatch said the recent R.AF. raid upon Milan damaged all quar- ters of the Italian industrial cen- tre, started 30 large fires and 300 smaller ones and left 5,000 per- sons homeless. . The dispatch said Milan's fire companies made more than 700 runs 'during the bombing in re- sponse to calls for aid.
