' Xoxv all the pi»b- licans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him." (A â- publican in the New Testament â- â€¢fls a Jew in the employ ot tha Roman Government collecting tax- es, generally from fellow Jew«, for the enrichment of the hated o!ficers who were enforcing the laws of the Oentlle power upon these conquered children of Israel. They were utterly despised by other Israelites. Sinnera her* wer* thoee not living ii conformity with the Levltical Law), i. "An4 both the Phariseea and the scrlboa murmured, saying. This man re- celreth slnntrs, and eateth wltb them." What our Lord now Is about to •ay contains first a precious mess- age overflowing with hope, and radiant with the love of God for theee poor publican* and sinnera <who needed Ood so much In their lives. Up to now tUey had been prevented from coming to Him by all tha legalistic paraphernalia which the Pharisee insisted upon. This message was for th« Pharisees and scribes, too, to â- how them how far from the will ot God they were In condemning the Lord Jesus for mingling wltli such people aa they despised. All three of these parables move about one word as It were, namely, the word "lost"â€" a lost sheep, a lost ooin, and a lost man. The sheep wanders away heedlessly, not ot set purpose, but drawn onward by one tuft ot Bweet herbage after another, till It has got out ot sight ot the flock and hearing ot the shepherd. So many men stray away from God and Christ, not deliber- ately, but simply because they fol- low inclination and the desires of the tleeh. The coin, on the other Hand, rolls away by mere gravita- tion, without volition; and many men tall into dark corners of sin almost as mechanically. But under both ths careless straying ot ths •beep and the mechanical rolling away ot the "drachma" lies the seltishneas and unbridled living o< the prodigal. All three parables must be Uken tocretber." Ths Lost Shsap 8. "And he spaka unto thain this parable, saying, i. What man of yott, having a hundred sheep, and having lost on» ot them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, untU h* find ItT k. And when he hath found it, ho Jay«th It on his should&rs, rejoicing. I. And when he oometb home, hs oalleth together his friends and hi* neighbors, saying imto them Rejoice with ms, for I have found my shoep which was lost. 7. I say unto you, that even so thers shall be joy In heaven over one sinnor that repenteth, mors than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance." The iof of 8ucce«s Is proportioned to the difficulty, tlie doubtfulness of at- taining it. All the hazards and sac- rifices ot the search are repaid by ths recovery ot the lost. There Is no Joy comparable to ths Joy of successful love; ol love, that la to say, not only recognized and re- turned, but which succeeds In mak- ing the object of It as happy as It desires, and does so alter many repulsoa and misiindorstandiDgs and haEai'd*. This Is Ood's greatest |oy. It is taken to mean here that the "ninety and nine" had already been saved. Ths Lost Coin t. "Or what woman having ten pleoes of silver, if she lose one ^sce, dolh not light a lamp, and flweap tbo lioiise, and seeic diiigent- If tintU fche tliid it?" The general tnfarence from tbi» and ths pre- ying paraM* is that each sinnsr |s so precious that God and His tolnlstera ragard no efforts too (rest to reolalm su^. nsn who today sra exactly Ilk* Coins out of cironlation.

He is pictured with Lady Baden-Powell during a visit to this continent. shs calleth together her friends and neighors, saying, Rejoice with me, tor I have found the piece which I had lost. 10. Even so, I say unto you, there Is Joy in the pres- ence ol the angels ot God over one sinner that repenteth." The sheep could not have come back unless the shepherd had sought him; the coin would never have been found In this Instance unless the woman had looked tor It; but in the case ot mankind, God must leave men to decide for them- selves whether they will come to his waiting love and grace or not. God seeks sinners, ot course. But repentance is necessary first on their part before they cau come and find him. Duke of Windsor Wore Crayon Stripes Fashions set and worn by the Duke of Windsor are much fol- lowed in the men's wear world, and in view of the prominence of suits indudih? tailored ones, in the women's field, it is worth piving a second look to the suit he was photographed in on his re- cent visit to Miami, Fla. The suit, with its low end wide gorge, is a clue to current edicts in men's fashions, and the use of the wide, strong white ray- on stripe of the cloth is interest- ing. In gray it is worn with a matching gray shirt, with maroon tie, printed in gray and white flower spots.

Form Notes . . . Crop Association's Seed Exhibition Farmers having surplus seed of high quality for sale are urged to have it cleaned and graded immediately and to submit a sample to the Seed Display to be held in connection with the annual meeting of The Ontario Crop Improvement Association, King Edward Hotel, Toronto, Feb. 10-14th. The object of this seed dis- play is to help the grower with a surplus in finding a market with buyers who are looking for high quality seed. The Ontario Plowmen's -A.sso- ciation and the Association of Agricultural societies are hold- ing annual conventions during the • week at the King Edward Hotel and the Ontario Provincial Winter Seed Fair will also be held that week. Hundreds of farmers will attend these events, many of whom will be looking for good seed. TO HELP THE GROWER Only varieties which have been accepted for registration or cer- tification may be included in the display and all seed must be graded. The sample to be dis- played in each case must be re- presentative of the bulk lot for sale and the quantity shall be as follows â€" grain and corn 2 qts.; clover and grass seed 1 qt.; po- tatoes 10 lbs. Suitable containers and tags will be supplied; samples will be on display during the entire week and an attractive catalogue list- ing all seed offered for sale will be prepared for distribution. It is expected that there will be a keen demand for good seed during 1941.

That is what the Germans are doing. Their new experimental coal - butter consists of 64 per cent, water, 17 per cent, mineral oils, 16.5 per cent, starch, and 2.5 per cent, salt. And for coarse synthetic flour they advocate a 20 per cent, admixture of sawdust, plas- ter and Baltic sand added to or- dinary flour. Flaxseed Crop Shows Increase 3,500,000 Bushel Yield Is Largest in Canada Since 1930 The production of flaxseed in Canada for crushing purposes fluctuates widely from year to year. This is due in part to climatic conditions but mainly to the wheat and flaxseed pries ration. During the past few years the price situation has fa- vored the production of wheat rather than flaxseed with the result that the acreage lender flax was relatively low, states W. G. McGregor of the Dominion Experimental Farms. In the spring of 1940 however, tlie situation seemed to promise better flax prices in relation to wheat and as a result the acre- age increased appreciably. Coinciding with the increased acreage there was a high average yield per acre with the result that Canada produced the largest flax- seed crop since 1930 with a yield of about 3% million bushels of excellent qualitv. WILL IMPORT LESS During the past decade Canada has imported both linseed and linseed oil so that stocks on hand are negligible. The paint, varnish and allied industries consums about 2,000,000 bushels annually. Building and induslrial activity in recent years has increased this consumption so it is esti- mated that the total consumption In the past year exceeded 3,000,- 000 bushels. With velopment of war Canada, an improv prospei^ for the It la ot particular Canada to have production of this conserving needed the rapid de- industries in ement is in current year, advantage to an increased raw material, foreign ex- change for those materials which cannot be produced in the Do- minion.
