SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON CHRISTIAN ATTITUOB TOWARDS POSSESSIONS Luke 16 : 1-31 Printed Text: Luke 16 : 10-2S. GOLDEN TEXTâ€" "Ye cannot Mrv« Qod and Mammon."â€" l.ukp Iti : IS. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" January, A.W. 30. "•Isce. â€" I'evaea. We siudy in this Icsdon two par- Abies, the parable of the IJuJust Steward, aud the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Probably more parables si>okeu by our Lord are biased upon iuriilents counect- •d with the usd of property sDd money than arc n-lated to any other single aspect of our daily lite. Tlite l8 one ot the many evi- dences wc have showing Christ's Interest in the daily occurrences of human expovience, and the Im- portance which He attached to â- what man do with their material potessions. Many mystica In dif- ferent ages have attempted to per- suade men to live apart from earthly poeeeesious, to g\rt no at- tention to them, to poesesa noth- Inc, seek for nothing, never en- (age in bufilness, never to own property, and to give their time entirely to meditation and prayer, preferably in aome secluded cave or desert oasis. Not »o our Lord. He taught men how to live In the drcumstancea which surround all ot us, and that ia why so much of His teaching concerns what we do with our bodies, our time, our possessions, and our relationehlps to those with whom we come In contact. The True Riches Luke 16 : 10. "He that Is faithful in a very little is faithful also In much: and he that Is unright- eous in very little is unrighteous also in much." The essential fi- delity of the heart is the same â- Whether it bo exercised in two znites or in a rogal treasury. 11. "If therefore ye have not been falth- lul In the tinrlKbteous mammon, wlio win commit to your trust the time riches? 12. And If ye have not been faithful in that which to another's, who will give you that which is your own?" True riches of the spiritâ€" the abundant Ufe â€" do not come to the person •whose soul is pegged down to money-gruibbiug. Directly, verse 11 means it we are faithless in tjie Insignificant charge ot putting our money to the best use, then we are not deserving ot the true rich- e«. Only One Master 18. "Xo servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, aud love the other; or else he wUl hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Thi« statement ia also found in the Sermon on the Mount. To servj is to give one's obedience and allegiance. If a man lives for the acquisition of money, hto heart Is In his money, his love Is there, so that at the same time his heart cannot be yielded to Qod, he cannot be loving God with all hta being, and he cannot serve Ood In any right way. Misuse of Property 14. "And the Phariseea, who were lovers ot money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 15. And he said unto tiieoi, Te are they that justify yourselrea In the slgiht of men; but Ood know- •Dh your hearts: f<Mr that which Is exalted among: men Is an abom- ination In the sight of God. Extern- ally Uie Pharisee (like many people In Canada today) pretwid- *d to be righteous, but internally they were robbers, cruel, misers, merciless on the poor, hard on their creditors, doing anytlilng to acquire wealth. Jesus meant here that property, when made to exalt men, when unlawfully acquired and unrighteously used, when It results In the building tip of vast estates and palatial homes only for selfish purirases, is an abomination of Qod. Rich Man and Lazarus 19. "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed lu purple and flue linen, faring sump- tuously every day. 20. And a cer- tain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs came and licked bi!< gores." What a contrast here, so evident In our world today, between the wealth At the one and the poverty of the Other nun. 22. "And it rajne to Kss, that the beggar died, and at he was curried away by the ftogeis Into .Aiirahum's Ijosom: and the rich man also died, and was Mried. And la Hades he lifted np â- la eyes, being la torment, and BMtii Abraham afar off, and Laz- arus In his bosom. Both men died. All men have to |l«. Wealth never can lavs a hu- man being from the hour of de- parture from this world. After ieatb, why did the rich man suf- nr, while I^zanis enjoyed the Miss of being present with the â- aints of God? ('drtalnly the rich ilau was not in Hades liccause he (aa rich.

Portrait by Karsh, Ottawa. with Abraham, in peace, because he had been poor. The rich man was simply like millions ot other people, a man who had lived for himself and had eliminated God from his lite. Soviet Union Leads Europe^ Birth Rate Russia claims to have the most prolific parents in Europe and uses its census, recently complet- ed, to prove it. Since 1927 the population has increiased by 24,- 000,000 and is now 170,467,186. During the same period the popu- lation of the rest of Europe rose by only 32,000,000. Moscow and Leningrad almost doubled their numbers. Baku's birth rate increased 33.9 per thousand, and that of Moscow 28.5, whereas London and Paris could show only 13.6 and 11.6, respectively. DaUy War Cost At Three Million Ottawa Forecasts Increase in Expenditures During 1941 "Democracy has to prove its worth for the world now, not for any local community." â€"Pearl S. Buck. War outlays by the Department ot Munitions and Supply alone are now running at the rate ot three million dollars a day, It was stated at Ottawa last week and likely to be expanded. This covers Canadian and British orders. The return ot Hon. C. 0. Howe waa followed by consultation with the manutacturera ot those line* the output ot which Is likely to be increased. The Minister had been In IiOn- don for over a month finding out what most Is required. At Glas- gow on his departure, Prime Min- ister Churchill stated that It was not big armies but munitions and equipment which are the large needs for 1941. His appeal was ad- dressed to manufacturers in Am- erica. RADIO BEPORTER By DAVE BOBBINS HONEY-VOICED A new singing star has blos- somed on WBEN's horizon â€" Edith Ballachey, honeylvolced songstress who is heard Sunday afternoons at 8 o'clock. Edith's story is that of a "radio Cinder- ella" â€" an inspiring singer who took a regular audition, was told she would be "kept in mind", sang a couple of times with the studio orchestra and presto I was signed to a sponsored series. The songstress studied in grade schools in Ossining, N.Y., and was graduated from Alma College, St. Thomas, Ontario. She received a degree in music from the University of Toronto, wher she majored in piano before turning her attention to voice. â€" o â€" AROUND THE DIAL On* of the best of the Sunday night shows is still â€" Columbia Workshop â€" heard over the CBS chain at 10.80 (Standard). This program of dramatic piec- es and novelties brings to thous- ands of radio listeners the best in broadcasting technique, featur- ing radio stars in scripts from the pens of outstanding writers. This type of shop augurs well for the future of radio, as it gives a clear-cut picture of air shows at their best. â€" o â€" Remember! FJvery Canadian should make it a point to tune in some of the Win The War pro- grams over the CBC chain each weekday morning at- 9.15. It will tell you how you can do your bit. Then too, every Friday night during February at nine o'clock (daylight) the Win the War com- mittee will present an allstar show that will be worth hearing.

"The new station, which will be 10 times a« powerful as CBY, puts Toronto in a better position from the point of view of our sen'ice," Mr. Murray said. Form Notes . . Crow Soybeans For Home Use Soy beans may be used either at> a hay crop by cutting the plants when the pods are about two-thirds filled, or the seed may be allowed to ripen and be fed as an addition to the grain ra- tion. The Ultimate use will de- termine the method of planting. If an annual hay about equal to alfalfa in feeding value is de 8ired the seed should be drilled in similar to oats at the rate of about ninety pounds per acre. Seeding should be done about May 15. When the plants have reached the proper stage cutting may be done after the dew is off and the hay allowed to wilt be- fore raking ipto windrows. Com- pleting the curing in windrows appears to be the most satisfac- tory method. Where a high protein supple menl to the grain ration of live- stock is desired, soybeans will be found to replace such feeds as linseed and cottonseed oil meals. Whole soybeans should not be fed to bacon hogs, but soybean oil maal may be sa^fely lued in this case. Whole soybeans contain about 35 per cent protein and 16 per cent oil. This high oil con- tent is objectionable in bacon production. FOR FEED Soybeans fox feed should be planted about May 15 in rows 28 to 30 inches apart at the rate of 30 to 40 pounds per acre, states, C. W. Owen Dominion Expert: t mental Station, Harrow. Crosa cultivation of the rows with * spike harrow having the teeth shaped backwards during the early stages of growth will aid in controlling weeds. Later row cultivation may be done as re- quired. When ripe the seed may be harvested with a binder or preferably a combine if available. Whether the crop is grown for hay or grain, the seed should be inoculated with a culture of soy- bean nitrogen fixing l)acteria be- fore planting. If this is done the full benefits of the legum- inous properties of the crop will be realized. â€" Experimental Farm News. Kilt's Origin Not Scottish Claim Is Made That Gar- ment Was Brought to Scot- land In 200 B.C. From Athens The kilt is so much associated with the Highland Scottish regi- ments that there is a general be- lief that it is purely of Scottish origin. That is far from being the case, however, and a Scottish historian, inspired no doubt, by the exploits of the crack Greek regiments which wear a cere- monial dress resembling a ballet girl's skirt, has been looking into the subject, writes the St. Thomas Times-Journal. He makes the remarkable statement that the Scottish kilt is actually a de- scendant of the Greek soldier's skirt, having been brought to Scot- land about 200 years B.C. by Gathelus, son of the King of Athens. IRISH LAY CLAIM It appears that Gathelus, "al- armed by the fame of Moses," fled the country, taking with him Jacob's Stone which Jacob had used as a pillow. He had married Scotia, a daughter of the Phar- aoh of that day. Mr. and Mrs. Gathelus, or Prince and Princess Gathelus as they more probably were, first went to Spain and then to Ireland, where, for son)e years, the Stone was used in the coronation of Irish kings. Other Greeks went to Ireland, and from there they went to Scotland, there introducing the type of skirt worn by the Greeks on cere- monial occasions. Thus the orig- in of the Highland dress; although the kilt did not become the habit of the soldiers until about 200 years ago, when the heads of the clans, who customarily wore the kilt themselves, adopted it for their private armies. ANCIENT ASSYRIANS WORE IT II i« also known, however, that the ancient Assyrians wore a species of kilt, and drawings of men wearing it have been found on pottery end friezes. Several Balkan peoples wear a pieated dress which they call the fustan- ella. Irishmen, too, wear kilts, 80 they probably got the idea from Gathelus before the Scots did. The output of the leather tan- ning industry in Canada in 1939 was valued at 125,684,972, an ifn- crease of SO per cent over the preceding year. Preliminary estimates place the gross farm value of the Canadian tobacco crop in 1940 at apprort mately $10,400,000. THe Pt>wMeT \A/HEN TO US, <CMA/A/(ar ii'tt gX3B aFISH ooova/ 'JU9StU9 SCAUPS, ott.
