play the hypocrite but let uf sound u utile horatio alger at si rather make him in our lives what e call him with our lips if be our lord and master per formed the lowliest and most dis agreeable service for others for thoae under him we too must stand ready to perform the lowliest services for all others are we ready to do if oh bow we rebel if men do not give us the honor and respect and place that we think are our due let us seek rather to do service for others then we shall have the right to call jesus master and lord but if we seek honor rather than to be humbly useful we shall have no right to call jesus master and lord how deep an impression this incident made mr unwin is vice president in chars of finance for the canadian pacific and president of their growing air line he came out from kent enc land at sixteen and in 27 years reach ed his preeent job lie was a railway clerk at ohspleau in 1908 he won the military cross for bravery in the first great war starting out as

scheme to do a tremendous job ant is not greater than his lord sottlth the least disturbance and at a every christian should be satisfied minimum of cost to the taxpayer with a lot as lowly as that of our there wew wheels revolving within canada call for 35 million pounds f waste fats lord how often we see professed servant of jesus assuming a dignity and a greatness that our master dis carded the practice of christ like humility in service brings blessedness i in the heart h 1 will come again 14 1ol the 14th chapter of john is the richest vein in the mot remarkable gold mine in the world the bible the first clause of v 1 is the keynote to the chapter especially of vs 127 the lives of the united nat lorn tol- ulers airmen and sailors mostly de pend upon the speedy respodfle to this sos- fats and alls are the raw material from which glycerine u produced glycerine is the basic and indispens able ingredient in the majority of our explosive if everyone in little ax two ounces otwaste cooking at in a week it will vroduce glycerine required for the gun powder to smash adolph benito and toja there is enough explosive hidden in ten pounds of wast fat to fire forty- nine antiaircraft shells in the past we have received most all our fat requirements from the far eastern sources now cut off by the japs cocoanut oil and copra fxomthe fhllllplnes palm oil from dutch bast indies and malaya tung oil from china perma oil from man churia and japan as in so many other material problims this los of our normal sources of supply of fats and oils bi vltall important to our war efforts and economy our problem u to replace all of this loss it is being replaced partly by some imports from our rood friends in central and south america i but the biggest source of all has never been fully tapped that source ts in our own kitchens needless to soy this canada wide campaign depends almost entirely on the home front on the continued efforts of ecrone in canada this is a challenge to every canadian housewife restaur ant and hotel owner for it is their job to see that this fat u saved out of canadas frying pans and broilers from the dripping of steaks and chops beef and pork and lamb roasts chicken and turkey duiks and geese must come fat for glycerine so urg ently needed to make explosives for shells and bombs and depth charges to win the warrand that adds up to deadly proportions for hitler and co individually we may look at the small atnount we are able to save dally from dripping and from other sources and decide that it hardly seems worthwhile let us all re member that if every perosn in can ada saves as little as two ounces of waste fat in a week it will be an adequate answer to this national war effort and appeal saving waste fats is one of the simplest war aids asked by your country ana it is one of the most important ones on the home front so join the proud ranks of the kitchen commandos your uniform may be only a plain apron but it can be as gallant an outfit as the togs vnd helmet of the bombardiers in a flying fortress wheels policies to be determined be fore mr unwlns crew got going then there had to be directives to those who would do the actual work in rillm and towns from sydney ns to victoria dc k just imagine the confusion not to even think of your own feelings if you had come in from the farm on n blustery dayand some inefficient i if patriotic volunteer worker got your j card all hailed up but all this had unwin outfit wasnt a bit disturbed about canadian cts reaction to this decision niitrstillin iscaaapsmk they had to be sure that every town of 500 people bad at least one distributing centre that cities of 100- ooo or more bad offices located stra tegically to accornpaodale busy peo to avoid bottlenecks even going so far as to issue instructions that doors in the places decided on were conveni ently located to avoid congestion we wouldnt think of things like that out our way do you know i was even shown bow instructions were seat out on how the tables were to be arrang ed to handle people quickly the administration for instance had to figure out such things as re turn of cards from ration book no 1 responded and saved the nation mil lions of dollars which can be convert ed to tw planes guns and other i of war the success of the whole scheme ww depend he said pon the resourceful and on the hard work which every contributes they rely on that here in this montreal headquarters of con sumer rationing aa an outsider looking in i felt they had e a sys which aimed at simplicity combined with ef fective control i didnt think i had to bother these people with questions on the why and wherefore of rationing the necessity is plain logic and doesnt take any undue reasoning in previous and following articles the picture of canadas wartime personal and collective economy is painted just as factually as i can reat war nevertheless he remains make it from on the spot if youor i want to criticize methods that s a democratic privilege so hop to it if you feel the urge but at least you are getting a lit 1 1 of the background i hope tata fa the fsnrth off a aeries f picks up at 70 for

potbellied between might fitly be entitled stove the distributing chief np- thoughl for the comfort and en- pointed by jour own local ration rouragement of believers during the board had definite instructions on absence of their lord the remain der of v 1 contains jesus infallible prescription for heart trouble the who truly believes in god and believes in jesus christ will never bejwar effort just think of it all these troubled in heart isa 263k we can take our choice between believing hearts and troubled hearts when faith comes in anxiety goes out a number of specific comforting t hough u follow the first is that heaven the fathers house ts a large every tiny phase of the operation and so did the other volunteer workers who are doing or did something w hlch is their contribution to the folks working without remuneration thats the home front for you it means a big saving to the taxpayer too mr unwin told of the different sets of conditions which had to be provid ed for in distribution for urban and place with room enough for us all as rural centre that was worked out well as for jesus the second is that j beforehand with leeway given the jesus is coming back personally to take us to that place the temporary separation is to be succeeded by eternal reunion v 3 he does not send for us he comes himself any one who has learned to interpret scripture by scripture can easily satisfy himself that the coming here spoken of is the personal second com ing of christ by n careful compari son of v swith 1 the 4 16 it the return op our lord has ever been the blessed hope of believers titus 2 11 jesus here speaks of it to banish heart troufae and when paul speaks of it of interpreting this passace he closes with com fort one unother wth these words iii the way to the fatlur 46 the third comforting thought is that they knew the place where he was going and how- to get there v 6 is one of the mountain peaks of scripture it tells us the way to god jesus himself is the way we get to god through him and in no other way that way is open to all chs j 10 9 6 37 how jeaus is the way the bible makes very plain ok gph ix 18 ileb 10 19 2a 2v matt 1127 jno 17 3 3 ileb 1 13 he is not only the way but the i truth also he is truth incar- j local distributing chief because he knew local conditions better than the fellows in ottawa or montreal the htary behind ration flanks do vou know that the kings printer started delivering ration books to the administration between janu ary 20th and 26th at the rate of a million n day with the distribution damlnlonulde set for february 19th to march iwt you know yours if what was in each book they were in cartons of 1500 books lach handed in s0s there had to he provision i was told for additional sheets in regulative quantity of course for underground soft coal miners and dia betics just imagine the detail in- xolved and still in this set of mon treal offices with is clatter of type writers and ringing of phones there was radiating all over canada with decision and clarity of purpose but an absence of any bedlam a distribu tion of ration cards so vast as to stultify the imagination unless one was on the scene as you know the no 2 book was not mailed out but you folks had to come and get it some of us just hate to put ourselves out and the administration realized that they realized also that canadians do not nate other messengers of god teach have to be gestapoe d into anything the truth jesus is the truth if i and are amenable to reason and why then we are to know the truth we shouldnt they be with a war on if must know him col 2 3 jno 17 we want to play rummy in the back 3 he is also the life he not of john blacks real estate office the merely gives life but is the life government doesnt move john s if you wish life you must take him premises to your doorstep so mr as soon as you have taken jesus you i l have life 1 jno 5 ii 12 if you have hot taken jesus you may have way for nineteen centuries men and existence but you have not life if you are anxious to know what life real life eternal life la look at jesus and you will see 1 jno 1 2k this then is the formula for all people those who come to jesus in pure simple earnest faith find that in him there is the way to god in him is the lord and they will soon be able truth about god and in him is the give a reason for the hope that women have been testing these wo and they have never failed them there is much stress on christian evidences these days well we are not afraid of this demand all men and women of today have to do is to accept jesus as their saviour and to is life of god it is a manifestation of within them they will continue the grace of god that our salvation long time of testimony which has and eternal
