LESSON IV THE CITIZENS OF THE KINGDOM.â€" Matthew 5:1-16 Golden Text.â€" Kven .so let your light shine Ijefore men; that they may see your good works, ind glorify your Father who is in heaven. Mutt. 5:16. THK LKSSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" Spring, A.D. 27. Place.â€" On an unknown moun- tain, possibly in Judaea. The Sermon is undoubtedly the greatest single di!<course ever ut- tered by any teacher or statesman or philosopher in the whole history of the human race. It is not, how- ever, the sum and substance of Chri.stianity. It reveals, instead, B divine ideal and a perfect .stan- dard of conduct. 1. .\nd neeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him: 2. and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying. 3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. To be poor in spirit means to be in inmost reality con- scious of need, of dependence on God. Christ begins his portraiture of a citizen of the kingdom with the eensciousnes of want and ain. All the rest of the morality of the sermon is founded on this. 4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Christ refers here to those who feel, who are sensitive to the griefs and joys of others. 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Meekness is here given place as the first of the social vir- tues. It is the grace which opposes patient gentleness to hatred, in- jury or antagonism. Striving; for Something Better 6. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. It is remark- able that it is the hunger and thirst for righteousness, and not the possession of it, that is pro- nounced blessed. Such a longing ia sure to induce the person who feels it to strive hard for the ob- ject of his desire. We ought nev- er to be cotent with our moral and spiritual condition. We must ever have a hunger and a thir.st for jomething better. 7. Bles-sed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy. Mercy is more than meekness. It is really love in exercise to the needy, csp3eially the unworthy. It embraces pity, charitable forbear- ance, and is revealed in acts, in words, in tears. Poverty of spirit, sorrow, hunger after righeousness, bring deep experiences of God's gentle forbearance and bestowing love, and will make us like him in proportion as they are real. 8. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they .shall see God. Cleannes.s of mind and sincerity of puriwse are implied here. The attitude of the will here is all-important, and is the key to the pos.session. Only the pure in heart can stand in the inner circle and see God's face. Peace To A Troubled Soul 9. Ble-ssed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God. We might define peace roughly as the cITcct of God's nearness to an untrouble<i consci- ence producing the sense of for- giveness, moral tranquility, of jea- lousy overcome. 10. Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousne.s.s' .sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11. Blessed are ye when men shall re- proach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. Re- joice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the pro- phets that were before you. How- ever great the less and suffering persecution produces, it is blessed because of the compcn.sation it brings in the purifying and en- richment of the character. It tries the Christian faith, and brings out its finest (|ualities. Effect* of Christian Character 13. Yc arc the salt of the crth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it lie salted? it ia thenccforih good for nothing, but to be cast out and trddden under foot of men. Salt keeps things from going rotten (c.«pecially in tlimatcs like (Jalilce). Jesus' dis- eiplcs wero to be the custodians !>f moral health, to keep commu- nity life from going rancid. II. Ve are the light of the world. A :ity set on a hill cannot bo hid. 15. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the atan<l; and It shineth to all men that are in (he house. Ifi. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who in in heaven. The \aluc of m light 1!^ illumination.

First Canadian Troops Land In England â€" 1914 ,!'>"»' Just 25 years ago Oct. 8, the first Canadian troops landed at Plymouth, England, anxious to do their part to help the empire emerge victorious in the conflict of 19 14-18. Tourist Trade Up As Dollar Drops Decline in value of the Canadian dollar In the United States Is un- derstood to have caused a large decrease In Canadian travel to that country, although figures have not been received yet from the Un- ited States Immigration author- ities. But tourists from United States have entered Canadr. In Increas- ingly large numbers. Immigration authorities at Ottawa said last week that while returns are not complete, the Influx of American travellers was much greater in July and August as compared with the same period in 1938. Increased travel from the United States In recent weeks Is due not only to the appreciated value of United States money in Canada but to war conditions which pre- vented many holidaying Americans from going to Europe, immigration officials said. Wheat Crop Spurs Trade Out West Buying of Implements and Do- mestic Needs Already Swel- ling The wealth of Western Canada's 1939 wheat crop has begun to make itself felt in the retail trade centres of the Prairie Provinces. A preliminary estimate indicates that the new crop will pour more than $246,000,000 Into the pockets of prairie producers. The appraisal is based on the last Government survey ^vhich estimated Western Canada's wheat yield at 432,561,000 bushels. Farmers Buying Machinery Many farmers who have finished storing their grain or who have completed delivery to country ele- vators and terminals, are turning to towns and cities to replenish their stocks of machinery, (.loth- lag and other necessities. Farm Implement and machinery dealers report that while business has not been as brisk as it was last year, sales are picking up and are expected to reach satisfying levels before long. Railways Benefit Mall order houses also aio be- nefiting from the promising crop which is filling farm pursc-s all throughout the west. A largo mail order firm advises that It has now found It necessary to hire addition- al help to CDpp with the rush of the business. Railways which are moving the wheat from farm communities to 'ermlual elevators at the head of the Great Lakes are employing hundreds of extra men. Pay cheq- ues of steady employees have been fattened with overtime entries. Britons Eat Lots Of Canada's Cheese It Meets Their Requirement of Quality â€" Canadian Ched- dar Ranks Second in British Favor Total consumption of cheese of all kinds is much higher In the United Kingdom than In most oth- er countries, amounting to an an- nual average of approximately 425,000,000 pounds. Imports of cheese into the United Kingdom in 1938 totalled 2,928,114 cwts. of which New Zealand supplied 1,639,- 486 cwts. and Canada 678,130 cwts. In reporting this to the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce, G. R. Paterson, Acting Canadian Ani- mal Products Trade Commissioner at London states that, "Canadian Cheddar cheese enjoys a premium over other imported cheese of this type. During 1938 the average pre- mium was 1.35 cent per pound. The condition has been largely due to the fact that Canadian Cheddars are considered second only to best farm-made English and Scotch Cheddar by many British consum- ers. Want Matured Extra-Quality It meetr their requirement >of quality. i The report states further that "the Canadian position would ap- pear to be comparatively satisfac- tory. Home production is Indicated to be less than in 1938, and con- sumption slightly Increased, due, it Is suggested, to some extent, to the present program of military train- ing. There would seem to be some opoprtunity " more well-matured extra quality Can?dlan Cheddars finding favour with consumers who in the past have demanded high quality home-produced farmhouse Cheddar. Present production of the latter Is very limited, and Canad- ian Is the only type capable of tak- ing Its place." Coffee gi-ounds are now used for making soap in Germany.

Spelling of Defence Now that "defence" has be- come one of the most used words ia the language, some wonder why to Canada it is spelled in two ways, says the Toronto Star. The original word was "defens," just M hence was once hens; pence, pens; and dunce, duns. From the original word two spellings emerg- ed, "defense," the more common form in the United States. The official Canadian spelling as used in Ottawa documents and report! is "defence." Australia is spendiag $500,000 on a national fitness and healtk campaign.
