CHRONICLES of GINGEB FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke Well, here we are again â€" back to ordinary everyday life after a busy week-end with visitors from the city staying here â€" that is, a long week-end, from early Satur- day to Monday afternoon. And you know how it is, don't you? You â- curry around with the idea of getting as much of your work done M you can while your visitors are ileepinR and then before you are properly through, one or more of them cornea to life and you set tbout getting a belated breakfast. And then you naturally like to visit for awhile â€" but oh dear, when you do that the time just slips jllong until first thing you know it \m nearly time for dinner and you haven't got the last of the break- fast dishes out of the way. But Ulte at night â€" that's when things feally get under way. The men ttart talking ijolitics, or discussing the war, and events, past, pre- ient and future. The womenfolk add their small contribution â€" whether It Is appreciated or not it beside the point. Eventually some- one Pays something about it get- flng late but somebody else sug- gests another angle to the subject under discussion and away you go again for another hour. Finally a oup of cocoa and a bite to eat rounds out the evening and at long last each person ambles off to his or licr bed. The visitors we hope, to sound, raicfrce slumber, while iPai'tncr and I lay our iieads on our respective pillows conscious that sitting tip to the wee snia' hours isn't so good for a working man and hi-i wife. Conies the morn- ing and we are more than ever convinced that a hang-over from late hours and too much talking Isn't the best thing with which to •tart another new day. • * * But there are cows to milk, stables to clean, hens to care for and eggs to gather, and as the day progress'-s the feeling of fa- tigue gradually wears itself off. You make up your mind you must really see about Kotting to bed in good time tonight. Then conies after supper and the talkfest he- gins again. First thing you know ft is midnight â€" and the .second morning ii a repetition of the first. Finally you quite icgrcthilly bid RESIGNED I.iciit.-tieneral E.

And then you settle down to your work and to catcli up on your arrears of sleep how and when you can. « * » One of our visitors was a man who had never stayed on a farm before. We found his comments very amusing. He couldn't think what Partner did outside all the time. He knew that cows were milked night and morning and that a farmer had some work to do which he referred to as "chores" but he thought any farmer was through by noon and that winter was really a slack time. "I'm com- ing down to the barn to see where you find all this work," he said. Well, he went to the barn â€" but it was after ,the stables had been cleaned and the cattle watered and bedding put down. On his return I asked him if he had really been to the barn. "Yes," he answered, "and I still can't see where all the work comes in." Partner laughed. "Come down a little earlier to- morrow, fellow, and you will soon find out!" * » • Another of our visitors was hardly a "visitor" â€" since she was our own daughterâ€" home to cele- brate her birthday. One of the first things I asked her was how long she could stay. "Siniday night â€" quarter to ten train," v,as tlie ans- wer. Came nine o'clock .Sunday night and I siiggested to Daugh- ter that .she get her things togeth- er. She did so â€" very leisurely. And at that time I began to have an un- easy feeling about the time of the train. I looked up the paper. Nine twenty-two! "Hurry" 1 said to Daughter. But instead of hurrying she had to see the paper for her- self as she wouldn't lie convinced she was wrong. "Don't stand there talking about it," I ur^cd. "The train may he late and we may catch it after all." .So I left her to collect lu-r helongiiigs while 1 ran for the car. 'J'hey told me I took the corner on two wheel.i â€" which 1 don't believe. However, whether on two wheels or four, we got to the .station just as the train was pulling out. I Imagined the car was as much out of breath as I was so we ambled home at a leisurely twenty-five. Daughter went on the two-fifteen this after- noon. SUNDA Y SCHOOL LESION Jgsyg TEACHES TRUE ^^REATNESS ^^^^. February 20 ^' ^ark 9- 30â€"10: 45. PRN'TED TEXT.â€" Mark 9: 33- 38; 10: 13-16, 42-45.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTNQ Time â€" Our Lord's teachings to His own disciples, as recorded in chapter nine, were uttered in Au- tumn, A.D. 29. All the teachings and -events of the remaining part of the lesson took place in Feb- ruary and March, A.D. 30. ..Place â€" Our Lord's announcement about His forthcoming death took place in Galilee. His discourse concerning greatness was uttered in Capernaum. All the rest of the material assigned to our lesson falls in that period of His life which was spent in Peraea. Greatness In Men "Aiid they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, what were ye rea- soning on the way? But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the greatest and he sat down and called the twelve; and he saith unto tliem, If any man would be first, he iliall be la:.t of all, and servant of all." They were ashamed to tell the Lord the subject of their disput- ationâ€"who should be chief min- ister. In the presence ot Jesus we are all put to silence wlien we liabe been proud, ambitious, ful! of controversial spirit. The thought of the love and humility of our Saviour shames us into silence. What ij meant by being great? Jesus answered that greatness lies in character, in service â€" to love and serve all for Christ's sake. In The Name Of Christ ".\nd he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he saith unto them, whosoever shall re- ceive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." Christ favors and honors those ALLIED TANKS LIE IN WAIT FOR NAZIS Near the Mussolini Canal, south of Rome, tankmen of the Mlied Fifth Army lound a shallow ravme and paiked their vehicles whije they scanned the plains back of Actiuao, Italy, for signs of the enemy. .y.-.zze forces are now on the way to Rome. who receive people who are of small account 'n the eyes of men. We learn that tl e will of him who receives Christ is in harmony with the will of God. To see Christ is to see the Father. (John 14:9), to receive Christ i^ to receive the Father (Mat. 10:40), Not to re- ceive Christ is to reject God him- self. (John 12:4J-18). For Or Against Christ "John said unto him. Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us. But Jesus said, forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me." Christ's words condemn all who are actuated by party-spirit, envy, enmity, uncharitableness. In verse 40 we see that all nien must range themselves on one side or the other â€" with Christ or against him. Tlicre is no neutral ground Christ regarded this man as being witii Him, and we must regard as fellow laborers all men who are doing Christ's work in a spirit of love and not of enmity, although they have different modes of working. Disciples Rebuke Christ "And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples re- buked them." The apostles regarded their master as a teacher and a healer and these children required him in neither capacity. But Jesus i> more than that, He is essentially the Blesser, whatever form the blessing may take. The ChUdUke Spirit "But when Jesus saw it he shall in no wise enter therein." Our Saviour is referring to the spirit of a little child, the spirit of h.mility, the spirit which was mis- sing in his disciples. Every gentle modest child is lowly in thought, ready to be taught. Unless we are humble and receptive like a child we cannot enter the Kingdom. "And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying Iiands upon them." The true disciple must welcome children, s.erve them, learn from them, and catch their humble, trustful, loving, receptive spirit. The Servant Of AH "And Jesus called them to him .... shall be servant of all." The ruling class of that day held their inferiors in subjection and deman- ded obedience from them ou the ground of their superior rank and power. Greatness in the Kingdom of God consists not in arbitrary rule, but in voluntary service. It is the christian who is ready to stoop to serve the lowest of Cod's children who is the greatest in God's sight. Chirst's Life a Ransom "For the son of man also came not to be ministered imto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." The purpose of our Lord's advent was to minister. All His past ministry was \>ut a leading up to the supreme service He was- to render to mankind, and frr which He came into the world 'to give His life a ransom for By means of a radio method, scientists have meusiued the elec- tricity in the atmosphere 160 miler above the earth. RADIO REPORTER ?.,,... Radio is a very weird iiusiness for the people that are in it. There is an old saying that in radio if you don't find a crisis on your desk in the morning, you have to start looking lor it lieforc luKui. It's a business in which strange things liappi-ii. Take the case of Bert Morrison, star of the veteran spinc-chillcr "riie Shadow", heard 'J'ucsday nights 8.:i0-'.i.0(l over CKCL, Toronto. Morrison read a recent news despatch stating that posters have been appearing over- night in IScrliu, on the ruins of bombed buildings, walls, iiillars and on newspaper from pages. These posters show The Shadow a man in a .•slouch hat with big fjucstion mark, which is the Sha- dow's trade mark. No explanation was given but .Xftonliladci's I'erlin correspondent suggested it \\a> the opening shot in an anti-spy cam- , paign. Morrison is now winidering wlu'llitr the (icstapo is after the Dr. Frank Black Shadow, or the Shadow after the Gestapo. * * * Radio can bring the people not only the music they know and love, but also the new vital musical creatiinis of contemporary compos- ers whatever their nationality, says Dr. I'rank Black, guest conductor of the Cleveland Symphony Or- clie>tra heard Sundays 9.00-10.00 P.M. EWT., over the Mutual Net- work and CKCL, Toronto. Dr. Black s.iys "I believe that the most vital music production today is takiii;: place in the L'nitcd States and Russia. There is a reason for this. Both groups write with an audience in mind because they .know that the people are the final judges of their music." * * * Radio's pcojile are all heading towards the Chateau Frontenac in (Jiicbec for the middle part of this moiitli, when all the radio stations from coast to coast gather at the Annual Convention of the Canadian Association of Broadca'sters. Ra- dio, with the terrific job it has done of assisting in the war effort, is continually meeting new war- time problems and the get-togeth- er on the "Plains of Abraham'' is to solve some of its new prob- lems, to receive information from heads of governmental depart- ments as to how radio ran best cooperate with the war effort and to plan for the forthcoiiiing year, 'i'he results of the decisions arriv- ed at in the Quebec meetings will have a large effect on Radio in 1914. Vou can rest assiued how- ever, that whatever decision.^ are arrived at, radio's people fighting on the home front will continue their outstanding contribution to your entertaiiruent and information as well as to our war effort.
