DIRECT ARMY'S 6TH VICTORY LOAN From coast to coait in Canada, in the United Kingdom and in outposts of the fighting fronts, members of the Canadian Army are swinging into the Army's 6th Victory Loan campaign. Directing the drive are, Major- General J. C. Murchie, C.B.E.. Vice-Chief of the General Staff, at the left; and Lieut.-Co!. 0. H. Rainville, E.D., of Montreal, national chair- man of the Arn-.y Victory Loan shown at the right. In the Fifth Loan, the Army at home and o verseas invested nearly IS'/a million dollars in war bonds. 'lime was xvlicn it was a in:ittcr for pride to Idok at your pass-book and find a good balance to your ircdit. Now it isn't something of wliicli to I)c |iroud any more but rather soniothing of whieli to be ashamed. Idle money at the Ijanic doc!-n't do .iiiyone any good â€" neil)!cr ourselves, our cuuntry nor the boys wlio are figliting for us. But take that money â€" however little or nuicli â€" use it to buy \ic- tory Uonds and then you can listen to Victory Bond propaganda with a clear cuIl^cieIIce. I have often heard people say they get sick and tired of listening to the radio when a victory loan is being launched. Is it really victory bond sales-talk that bothers them, or an uneasy conscience? I wonder! Others say "Why should I lend money to the government when I see evidence of wasteful spending on every hand?" Well, there is no denying the fact that our money does often appear to be spent, not wisely, but too well â€" but that seems to be one of the fortunes of war no matter what party is in office. In any case two wrongs never yet made a right. If we pick holes in government expenditures as an e.\cuie for not supporting the Victory Loan then we are a.^ much at fault as those we blame. One thing is certain â€" most of what we lend to the government is used for tlie purpose for which it was intended other- wise Canada's war effort would have collapsed long ago. * * • So, if I may be preniitted an opinion, I would say tlie best thing we can do is to help put this new Victory Loan over the top. Never mind keeping something back "in case of an emergency" â€" if an einer- gcncy arises we can always cash in on a bond, or better still, use it as security to borrow from our bank. Then when victory conies wt shall feel that WE have had a share in it. Or, in the event of â-  reverse â€" which we must e.xpect occasionally â€" our conscience will not reproach us by saying â€" "Well, what did you do to stop it?" Those who have boys "over there" sometimes feel that that h as mircli as should be exi)ccted of them. Others feel, and surely rightly so, that the very fact that their boys are away makes it more imperative fur them to do all that it humanly possible to back them up. There arc still others v.ith no one in the furces â€" wouldn't it be ROAMING ROMERO ? ^ A native newsboy at a spot "somc- whcro in the Pacific" at first didn't recognize his customer as famed icreen star Cesar Romero, but when he did he reacted like any U. S. youngster with â€" "Sign here, please f" Romero, now a Coast Quardnman aboard an assault trans- port, autographed the youngster'a natural tor them to feel that they should make even greater sacrifices to help the cause lor which others are fighting. .'Ml will share equally in the victory, but what of the cost? ♦ * *• Farm people should remember that right now they are in a priv- ileged class. Many farm boys have been granted e.xcmptions â€" and we also have special gas cate- gories â€" but we .should remember that special privileges also carry with them special obligations. Men and boys have been deferred â€" some- times on compassionate grounds but generally because the government thinks they are needed where they are. In no case is deferment granted for the pmpose of personal advantage to the individual con- cerned. But . . . well, sometimes the result is a little hard for others to take. However, along comes another victory loan â€" one more golden opportontiy for those left at home to back up the boys who are v.inning the \\ar the hard \\o.y. Thcir's is a sacrifice of blood. Ours is â€" or should be â€" a sacrifice of sweat, toil and tears, .\nything we gain financially should go back to the government in Victory- Bonds, to equalize as nearly as we can the greater sacrifice going on day after day in the firing line, in the skies, and on and under the seas. • « * In lig-htcr vein ... we have man- aged to get a pup at last. It won't be yellow and white, it isn't a male, and it is just about as scared as a jack rabbit. It's name? Well, I think it will have to be Lassie, because, from present indic- ations I shall spend half my time say-.'tf; "Lassie â€" Lassie . . come home'." Maybe a timid pup will evcnlually make the bes: sort of Jog. Hut that rci'i.Tins to be seem. u. s.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" I'he vi>it of Paul to Thes- salonica occurred about A.D. 50, and his hirst Epistle to the 'I'lies- saloniaiis was written, presum- ably, in A.D. .'jI. Place. â€" Thessalonica was a city of Greece, in what a known as Macedonia, on the sea coast, about a hundred miles west of Philippi. Paul's Message "Now when they had passed through .\mphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews. And Paul, as his custotii was, went in unto them and for three sabbath days .jeasoncd with them from the scriptures, opening and alleging that it behooved the Clirist to suf- fer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, said he, 1 proclaim unto you, is the Christ. " It is in the Scriptures alone that we have the truth concerning Christ. In dealin;.; with souls our reasoning nuist he based on the ScriiUurc.-. if we are to help them. Paul's message seemed to be con- cerned primarily with three great themes, all relating to the Lord Jesus; the atoning work of Christ, which is our salvation; the resur- rection of Christ, which is ouf hope; and the Deity of Christ, which makes Him oitr Lord. Many Are Converted "And some of them were per- suadctl, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great nuiltitude, and of the chief women not a few." Some 'con- sorted', that is, threw in their lot with Paul. They were ready to confess by this act that they had believed the trullj concerning Christ, and at least received Him as their Messiah. "For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain." The word 'vain' liere means 'empty', that is, void of substance and pow- er. A great deal of prcach'ng is vain, or empty, because it gets no results. Paul's preaching resulted in a great multitude of converts ia this pagan (ircek cii.v. Faith Given Courage "But liaving suffered before and been sliamcfully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we wa.xed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict." The verb 'wa.xcd bold' implies the undaunted hearing of tlie mission- aries and the outspokenness with which they faced their opposers in the delivery of God's message.

EADIO REPORTER 1..... POP Thai's Where Pop Stows II While still young in years, Edgar Guest or Eddie as he is known to the broadcasting fraternity is a veteran of the Radio Industry. Few people in Canadian Broad- casting have served as long as Ed- die has with CKCI-. While he is now I'roaranuuc Director of CKCL, succeeding Maurice Kapkin who has gone into free-lance announ- cing, believe It or not luldie broke into Radio as a piano player. .•\s far as we can find out. Eddie is the first piano player to become .1 I'rogrannne Director. When !dilie first broke into Radio he broke in early, about 7 a.m. with the setting-up exercises from Toronto Central Y.M.C.A., which were conducted by Oscar Pearson. There's no truth in the rumor that ICddie used to do his broadcasts attired only in pyjamas. * » * Eddie Guest's home tow-n was Ottawa, the capital city of the Dominion, hut not being a politician he left it at an early age. He is an alumnus of \ ictoria College where !ie took an .\rts course, specializing in languages. Like everybody else in Radio, he just sort of grew into the industry. He became first an announcer on the staff at CKCL as a result of his Physical Training progranmies and became chief announcer, and now Hus succeeded to the "boss's" chair in the Programme Department. Outside his family which num- bers four. Eddie's anil)ition is to was more than natural courage â€" they wa.xed bold in God. Faith in God, in His Gospel, gives confi- dence and courage. "For our exhortation is not of error, nor of imcleanness, nor in guile." Paul spoke nothing but the truth, 'not of error'. Paul was con- scious of the purity oi his motives, 'nor of unclcanness'. There was no guile, no craftiness in Paul, â€" all was open and above board. Paul's Supreme Aim "But even as we have been ap- proved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who prov- eth our hearts." Paul ever remem- bered that he had boon intrusted with the Gospel by God Himself and that his supreme aim must be to please God. "For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covet- ousness, God is witness; nor seek- ing glory of men, neither from you nor from olhers, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ." Paul did not flatter men as he presented the Gospel; he was not covetous in his preaching work, that is, he did not want money; he did not seek praise and advance- ment froiai men. "But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children." Be gentle with the fallen, with children, for gentle- ness opens a way into the heart for Christ to enter. Secret of Paul's Success ''Even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we weie well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were be- come very dear to us." Here is a p.irt of the secret of Paul's great missionary success â€" he offered the gospel and his own soul in love. "For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and liay, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gosjiel of God. Ve arc witness- es, and God also, how holily and righteously and unblamably we be- haved ourselves toward you that believe." Paid, not to he a burden to those to whom he preached, earned his own living by working with his hands as a tentmaUer. None could accuse Paul of acting meanly, dishonestly, unjustly. Paul was so sure of himself in Christ that he could appeal to others to follow him. Living To Please God ".\s ye know how we dealt with each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, a'-.d encouraging you, and testify- ing, to the end that ye should walk Worthily of God, who calletli you into his own kingdom and glory." .Notice thai the life which I'aul urges his converts to strive for is the very kind of life that he him- self was living. He lived to plesise G.hI. /*3 LIKE ANOTHER 1^:1 HEt.PI NIC), JUST A MOUTHFUL somewhere, sometime, operate a c. icken farm. He has given a good deal of time and study to this jjarticular industry and hopes some- day to have enough time in his busy career in Radio to actually operate an egg laying factory of his own. Eddie has been featured in many broadcasts of his own but per- haps has been best known for his .Movie Mutterings and Topics of Conversation. We did find out f. om Eddie that at one time he was a Sports .\n.iouncer, and re- cords show that Eddie made the first Softball broadcast in Toronto, but in those days Sports Broad- 'casting didn't pay off so well. Ed- die gave this up to b;come a re- gular, station announcer. We a.-.kcd Mr. Guest just what he thought the future trend in pro- gramuies was going to be. He feels that the modern trend in drama can stand some improve- ments, and is constantly working with his Dramatic Director to ef- fect these improvements. He also feels there is not enough time given on the air to good nuisic and too much time given to Boogie Woogie. Having had a part in the training of Canadian artists who have gone to the American networks and made good, he is ever o the look-out for new talent with new ideas, and hopes that more Canadian stars will be discovered and., will become international fav- ourites. The broadcasting industry wishes Eddie Guest good luck in his new job â-  as Progrannne Director of CKCL.
