the getngettrwi herald wed rieajay evening october 9th 1940 timely topics for women bt bjtfbbara bajnss thanksgiving havtf you ever stopped to think of the extent to which we ol this a generation are indebted to the toil and perseverance of our noes- tors never in the worlds history have so many material comforts been available to so many people things which are largely taken for granted new but which someone sometime first saw as an ideal and strug gled and endured hardship to create we know how to make the earth bring forth harvestssuoh as have never been known before and as a result of newer and faster means of transportation ttteseproducts can be enjoyed everywhere ttte heavy work of production is no longer done by hand but rather by machinery everything we use is quickly and economically made in factories and never has the world been hooded with such a wide variety of consumers mods we have good water supplies good drainage and sanitation good roacutgpod hospitals we have electricity m run our machines to pro tect us from the cold and darkness that made primitive man afraid in summer trains and buildings can be airconditioned to a delightful cool ness we haye made machine of exquisite precision by whose help we fly through the air speak across th world and record our thoughts and ac tions we can expect a much longer and healthier life than that of those who laid the foundation of our modern civilization our forefathers were old ttielr bodies exhausted at an age when we are still young still team ing still useful medicine has now with few exceptions conquered disease and laboursaving devices make our dally work light education has attained a high standard and newspapers magazines radios movies broaden our knowledge of the life of past ages of distant- places ftri of a thousand natural facts men of the past longed to know i best of all we have leisure to enjoy music and plays and books and the great outdoors yes there are many things we enjoy today without remembering to be grateful to those of an earlier age who made them possible nature baa been largely conquered and her bounties adapted to men s needs but the times bring problems of thir own of what value are au the material comforts of the present if man cannot solve the problem of how to live with his fellowmen in justice and friendship if all the great lifegiving gifts of the past are turned to- weapons of destruction more terrible than have ever before been known ctviumtlpn faces a new challenge the task of obliterating for ever from the face ot the earth those evil forces which in recent times have sought to deprive mankind of his right to life liberty and the pur suit of happiness man must not fail in this new challenge this enter prise which demands so much sacrifice so much arduous effort civill aation must not fall by its own achievements surely in the great democracies of the world there will be found enough able resolute spirits to carry on the progress of the past ages in to a new triumphant phase a phase in which the good things of our civilization will be made available to all the inhabitants of the earth by thus doing can we best show our gratitude for the rich heritage handed down to us by our fathers balancing the family budget i overheard a remark the other day that set me thinking a youmj t woman welldressed and smart looking was talking to a friend and this is what she said after being married for years i had at last been able to make my budget work and now up go prices taxes ar about three times what they were and plop goes my budget every month i have been getting fur therbehind my husband says if i don t soon get the thing balancing a gain hes going to handle the money himself id iust like to see if he could do any better t this remark made me realize that many other homemakers are fac ing the same problem as this young woman in many cases incomes have remained what they were before the war made so many demands upon us and the problem now is how to rearrange the budget to cover in creasing costs the new taxes and donations to the red cross and other war charities i brought this question up for discussion when a group of friends were having tea today and after much consideration they agreed this was the best way of handling the matter first estimate what the extra taxes increased costs and donations to war charities will total up to in a year then calculate what it would amount to each pay day deduct this amount from the pay cheque and put it in a special fund to cover these extra expenses pretend then the pcy cheque has been cut to this extent and make up a new budget accordingly rent food and other overhead expenses cannot readily be reduced and may need u have added to them the al jowance made above insurance and savings are essentials you will not want to decrease what part of the budget ttien is to suffer from the cut the logical place to cut down is on the luxuries

the money is on hand to pay he new taxes when due to buy war stamps or bonds when the government asks foi a loan and to support our war charities to make this possible it may be necessary for each member of the family to forego some accustomed pleasure or desired lux ury but if we are truly anxious to oring this war to a triumphant conclu sion we will gladly make the needed sacrifices book review unionjtfojr by clarence k streit union now was first published in england just before the war broke out but has been more widely read in america in recent months since the possibility of a joint citizenship of britain and the united states has been discussed it is a book all should read it would be an ideal subject for a study group mr streit maintains that the only thing which can save civilisation is tie union of the leading democracies among whom the desire for law and order is strongest he presents a plar not for an alliance of gov ernments or states but for a federal union of individuals with a common ci defence currency communications and customsfree economy as the nucleus of world government he suggests 1216 democracies bordering on the north atlantic because ci they are the most experienced and advanced politically 2 they have strong natural bonds drawing them together 3 they have close financial and business ties i they have the same heritage of personal freedom as other nations earn the right to join this union they too will be admitted the author points out how immense are the resources of these de mocratic peoples and what power they would have if united against ag gressor nations mr streit 1 an american political journalist who has had excep- opportunity for contact with hie facts on which his arguments are he offers us a farreaching and ambitious plan for curing the ills of tbe world today union now is a book which may luve a profound in- fluence on our future let me remind vou to have what we want is riches but to be able to do without is-

grace of god was upon him homi and church 41 42 the nazareth home in which jesus lived as a boy was humble but it was a pocket of intelligence joseph th carpenter was a manly man and his shop was in reality a school for jesus mary was a remarkable woman if we may judge by the magnificat and her few appearances in the gospel story connected with the synagogue in na areth was a school which jesus would attend after the age of seven ye alwaya his thoughts turned to the tmple n jerusalem the centre of the religious life of his nation for year he would be told that at the age of twelve he would be tiken to jerusalem to become a son of the law certain hymns 01 psalms would be learned to be sung during the ascent to the temple at last the day arrived when the journej of eight miles from naza relh to jerusalem was begun in that galilean family there was a close partnership between the home and the church they worked together for the welfare of the c 111 id asking questions 43 37 a growing boy can ask more ques tlons than a vise adult can answer the world is so full of a number of things and each one of them calls fo ex pi a nation we are told nothing of the ceremony in which jesus became a recogned son of the law he would be one of many but we are told that he was so interested in the temple that when the caravan started on th return journey he remained behind after three days joseph and marv found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors both hearing them and asking them questions the boy that is made to feel that he is forever in the way at home when older people wish to talk or read who is made to feel in church that religion is only for grave theologians or for good little girls may be pardoned for possesslnffput a dim conclousness ot the fathers personal interest in him he has not been made at home in his fathers house shadows before 48 50 our judgements are made according to our point of view to the doctors of the law in the temple at jerusalem the questions and answers of jesus were surprising by reason of insigh and mati rlty to joseph and marj there was relief at finding the missing boy with some impatience at the de lay to jesus however the inciden was a revealing of his life destiny during that visit to the temple it had become clear that his vocation in life had to do with religion in som dim way that did not become fully clear until his baptism he oecarn conscious of bis divine sonshtp joseph and mary did not understand what he meant when he spoke of devoting his life to the things of the father it may be that the future was not all seen even by jesus but the sense o direction had become clear ear adolescence is the period in which great and permanent decisions are made about work conduct and reli gion home and church may join to gether to give light and leading about supreme choices the hidden years 51 52 some modem biographies give pic lures of the hero s development year by year with details as to education play and religion we have no such specific information as to the youth of jesus writers using historical imagination try to build up a pic ture of what happened but the period irom ages twelve to thirty in the life of jesus remain the hidden years of course they were not empty years jeiuwa learning 1 trade growing a soul fashioning convictions his public ministry shows how fruitful were these years of prep aratlon the hidden years also comfort us in the obscurity of humble dally toll jesus spent six years in a shop for every year he spent in public as a teacher work has a large place in the building of character jesus was content to be subject to joseph and mary discipline was learned through obedience bis growth was many- sided but in perfect balance jesus increased in
