Love Never Faileth. I Corinthians 13:8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. Moses was born, pos- ibly, about 1571 B.C., though of this date we are not sure. The Ten Commandments were given, if this date is correct, in 1491 B.C. Joshua delivered his last ad- dress in 1-127 B.C. The last part of the book of Proverbs may have been written about 1015 B.C. The incident taken from our Lord's life, when He was twelve years of age, is to be placed about A.D. 7 or 8. The Apostle Paul wrote hU Epistles to the Ephesians and Colossians about A.D. Co. ' Piace. Moses was born 5u the land of Gosheu, and was placed, when a baby, among bulrushes in some one of the fingers of tha Nile delta. The Ten Command- ments were delivered at lit. Sinai. Joshua delivered his last address at Shechem. The incident taken from our Lord's life occurred in Jerusalem. The book of Proverb* was probably, f 'or the most part, written in the city of Jerusalem. Ephesus was a great Greek city in the Roman province of Asia; Colosse was located in the same province on the Lycus River. Shechcin was a city located in central Palestine, in what later came to be called Samaria. A Mother's Faith 1. "And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. '1. And th woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three mor.ths. 3. And when ih could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bul- rushes, and daubed it with slim* and with pitch; and she put th child therein, ami laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4. And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him'." The Israelitish people were in great disfavor with, and suffer- ing great physical hardships un- der the Egyptian government then in power. A law had gone forth that every male child born to the Hebrew people should Be put to death. When there VIM born this baby boy, known later in history as the great prophet Moses, the parents had faith that God had some great purpose for the child. After the child had been put safely in the ark, the ister was set to watch, not with any thought of harm that might come, but simply to see 'what would be done to him.' The mother returned to her house fighting back her natural anxiety by a faith in God that could not fail her. Household Worship of God 1 1. "Now therefore fear Je- hovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the pods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah. 15. And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: hut as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah." Joshua was a perfect example of doing himself what he was now preaching to the Israelites that which they ought to do. This is the privilege of a man holding great power, in high posi- tion, being honored by an entire nation, to publicly declare that, for himself and his household, he would be found serving the Lord God. Inasmuch as our lesson particularly concerns the family, emphasis here may be placed on the phrase "and my house." Of course, no man can compel the adults of his household to worship any one God. but a father can see to it. while his children are under his roof, that they do at- tend Sunday School, that they art* present in the house of the Lord on the Lord's Day. that they do hear the Word of God read, and pray IMS offori-d. every day, around the family table. The Love of Husband* 28. "Even so ought husbands to love thiMV own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: 29. for no man ever hated his own flesh: but noiivishoth and cherisheth it. even as Christ also the church; 30. because we are members of his body. 81. For this cause shall ik man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and the two shall become one flesh." The Apostle Paul lifts this whole subject up to the highest conceivable plane when he compares the love of husband for the wife with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ for th Church. THUNDERBIRD TOTEM Sergeant Clifford Hicks, of London, Ont., one of the R.C.A.F. pilots now standing guard in Alaska, poses for this picture with the Thunderbird totem which the unit has selected as its official good luck piece. U. S. and Canadian airmen work together for the defence of the northern outpost. This mutual loyalty and love is to be perfectly human; but also, if it is as it should be for Chris- tians, it is to be inspired by what is perfectly divine. Parent* and Children 1. "Children, obey your par- ents in the Lord: for this is right 2. Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise), 3. that it may be w .11 <vith thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4. And, ye fathers, provoke not your chil- dren to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord." Obedience is the law of childhood. It is, in great part, the child's religion, to be practised 'in the Lord." The rever- ence and love, full of a sweet mystery, which the Christian child feels towards its Saviour and heavenly King, add new sacredness to the claims of father and mother. Jesus Christ, the Head over all things, is the orderer of the life of boys and girls. His love and His might guard the little one in the ten- dance of his parents. The wonder- ful love of parents to their off- -pring, and the awful authority with which they are invested, come from the source of human life in God. U.S. Hands Passport To Vichy's Envoy In Washington the Vichy French ambassador's passports were hand- ed to him last week, thus making formal and complete the break in relations with the United States. State Secretary Cordell Hull disclosed that all Vichy French ships in United States ports had been taken into protective cus- tody.

President At the western-most tip of Africa, saym the Stratford Beacon- Herald, lie* Liberia, the little re- public founded by Americana for their freed slaves, developed under their moral protection, the little capitol. Monrovia, named for th fifth U. S. president Miles of good road have been built, million* of rubber trees have been planted, the health of the natives improved, and religious and sociological or- ganizations hare contributed to their welfare. But now that Amer- ican troops have landed at Liberia, which u south of Dakar, the Nazis behold Uie move with loud charge* of "pure rape of a free state," since every tiling which does not contribute to Nazi advantage is always wrong in Germany's eyes. 350-Mile Coastline For seme 350 miles extends the coastline of Liberia, and for 170 miles inland penetrates iia terri- tory. Along that entire length of coast there is no good harbor. The surf breaks tumultuously along iti stretch of shore, and reefs and eand bars make it dangerous. Til* rivers bring silt to their mouth* and block them. Rugged head- lands rise from the water, the palm j wave. Most of the settlers are along the coastal belt, and in the clay soil just beyond they raise coffee. A Plateau Country Liberia is a plateau country ris- ing some 1,500 feet above the sea. grown densely with forests and visited by heavy rainfalls. Trees grow to a Sleight of 200 feet, and are splendid examples of '.ielr pecies. boti because of their equatorial position and the abund- ant rainfall. There are cotton trees, many kinds of palms, about 22 different kinds of trees and ttrubs producing rubber and trees which yield large, edible nuts. Coffee grows wild aa well as cul- tivated. Pineapples, oranges, limes, papuws, alligator apples, avocada pfears. breadfruit, banana*, yams. weec potatoes are plentiful. The ground orchids and the tree orchids are profuse among the wild jungle lands, and in fact all flowers bloom with a brilliance and abandon la Liberia. Bright- winged birds fly through the for- ests. Wild creatures of amazing number make their homes in the almost impenetrable woodlands, called the beat forest country of all Weet Africa. Canada Breaks Vichy Relations Termination of diplomatic rela- tions between the Canadian and the Vichy Governments was an- nounced by Premier Mackenzie King in a statement last week which referred to the Laval Ad- ministration as "A German puppet government." The French minister who has been in Ottawa since early in li>40 was informed by the prime min- ister that because those "in nom- inal control" of the French Gov- ernment had ordered resistance to the United Nations forces in North Africa It was "perfectly clear that there no longer exists in France a lejra! or constitutional government in any sense repre- sentative of the French people, but only a German puppet gov- ernment." Therefore the Canadian Gov- ernment "lias ceased to recognize the present government at Vichy as being the d jure Government of France and diplomatic rela- tion with Vichy are accordingly terminated."

CFRB 860 on your dial RADIO REPORTER By REX FROST Programmes may come and pro- grammes may go, but Amoe *n Andy go on for ever. Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, to give them their proper names, have just passed the 4000 mark, completing thereby one of the longest series of programmes on record in radio broadcasting. Naturally they have their troubles thinking up new scenes and new situations. However they've adopted a philosophical attitude in regard to -the difficulties they encounter in the writing of their episodes . . . "We've done 4000 scripts" they say "and we can manage one more" . . . which ii another reminder that not only do these famous black-face come- dians present their numerous characters themselves, but they actually create their own situa- tions and write their own scripts. These C.B.S. favourites, who are heard over CFRB, Toronto, Mon- day through Friday, 7 to 7.15 p.m.. seem good for a long time to come. In the year 1877, Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Great Britain declared in the House of Commons at Westminster .... "The health of the people is really the foundation npon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend." Yes, good health is always a national asset. In wartime it is a vital weapon. The old adage that a oldier marches on his stomach ia equally true in these days of total war to the industrial worker and the war-time home-maker. Be- cause there are thousands of people all over Canada with leai time for marketing and planning menus, and because improper sel- ection of foods may lead to re- duced national efficiency, the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion is focussing attention on thii important question of nutrition ia a new broadcast feature, entitled "The Hiiiden Enemy." Dr. Eliza- beth Chant Robertson, noted Can- adian authority on nutrition to advisor to the series of C.B.C. broadcasts to be heard every Wednesday evening at 10.15. Tn programmes are not presented im the old-fashioned dry manner la which the subject of nutrition ha* been surrounded, but are offered as cheerful litle sketches . . . not without humour . . . illustrating the necessity of balanced diet ia a campaign to step up the energy of Canadians serving in industry, in offices and homes, as well aa in the armed forces. The seriea should be of particular interest to the ladies. A few weeks ago we reported a change hi the time of the popular "Treasure Trail" broadcast, which is currently heard over CFRB, To- ronto, and an Ontario network, every Wednesday 8.30 p.m. Now we have to report a change in th personnel of the broadcast. Rai Purdy, well known dramatic artist and radio programme producer, who has been, associated with "Treasure Trail" since its incep- tion, ii now a member of ilia Majesty's Forces. By coincidene* Rai Purdy's successor. Jack Ful- ler is :t?amed with Ai Savage. Jovial Jack is now announcer for Jim Hunter. Quick-witted Al ia a former associate of the Tele- gram's Talking Reporter. The now popular Hex Battl* has "battled" his way to popular appreciation both as a band leader and a concert pianist. We hear many comments these days re- garding the series of programme* currently :>eing presented by Rex Battle. Monday and Friday eve- nings, 7.45 to 3 p.m. over CFRB, Toronto and a network. Here is a programme which will appeal t those who enjoy better class music rend .'ed through the medium at the : -ory keyboard. A new series of discussions of Air liaid Precaution Measures * .tly being heard over CFRB every Friday night at 10 o'clock, sponsored by the Ontario Com. mittee of the Civilian Defense. Corps.
