CHRONICLES of G1NGEB FARM Well, here we arc again--back to ordinary everyday life after a busy week-end with visitors from the city staying here--that is, a/ long week-end, from early Saturday to Monday afternoon. And you know how it is, don't you? You scurry nround with the idea of getting as much of your work done as you can while your visitors are sleeping and then before you are properly through, one or more of them comes to life and you set about getting a belated breakfast. And then you naturally like to visit for awhile--but oh dear, when you do that the time just slips along until first thing you know it is nearly time for dinner and you haven't got the last of the breakfast dishes out of the way. But late at night--that's when things really get under way. The men Start talking politics, or discussing the war, and events, past, present and future. The womenfolk add their small contribution-- whether it is appreciated or not is beside the point. Eventually someone" says something about it getting late but somebody else suggests another angle to the subject under discussio:: and away you go again for another hour. Finally a cup of cocoa and a bite to eat rounds out the evening and at long last each person ambles off to his or her bed. The visitors we hope, to sound, carefree slumber, while Partner and I lay our heads on our respective pillows conscious that sitting up to the wee sma' hours isn't so good for a working man and his wife. Comes the morning and we are more than ever convinced that a hang-over from iate hours and too much talking isn't the best thing with which to start another new day. But there are cows to milk, stables to clean, hens to care for and eggs to gather, and as the day progresses the feeling of fatigue gradually, wears itself off. You make up your mind you must really see about getting to bed in good time tonight. Then comes after supper and the talkfest begins again. First thing you know it is midnight -- ana the second Finally you quite regretfully bid RESIGNED goodbye to your friends. You notice they look more rested and refreshed than when they came. And then you settle down to your work and to catch up on your arrears of sleep how and when you can. One of our visitors was a man who had never stayed on a farm before. We found his comments very amusing. He couldn't think what Partner did outside all the time. He knew that cows were milked night and morning and that a farmer had some work to do which he referred to as "chores" but he thought any farmer was through by noon and that winter was really a slack time. "I'm coming down to the barn to see where vou find all this work," he said. Well, he went to the barn--but it was after the stables had been cleaned and the cattle watered and bedding put down. On his return I asked him if he had really been to the barn. "Yes," he answered, "and I still can't see where all the work comes in." Partner laughed. "Come down a little earlier tomorrow, fellow, and you will soon find out!" Another of our visitors was hardly a "visitor"--since she was our own daughter--home to celebrate her birthday. One of the first things I asked her was how long she could stay. "Sunday night-- quarter to ten train," was the answer. Came nine o'clock Sunday night and I suggested to Daughter that she get her things together. She did so--very leisurely. And at that time I began to have an un- train. I looked up the paper. Nine Daughter. But instead of hurrying talking^ aboutg'it," T urged. "The to'collecthtr belongings while" ran for the car. They told me I took the corner on two wheels-- which I don't believe. However, whether on two wheels or four, we ALLIED TANKS LIE IN WAIT FOR NAZIS who receive people who are of small account in the eyes of men. We learn that the will of him who receives, Christ is in harmony with the will of God. To see Christ is to see the Father. (John 14:9), to receive Christ is to receive the Father (Mat. 10:40), Not to receive Christ is to reject God himself. (John 12:45-48). For Or Against Christ becau'se he followed not us. But Jesus said, forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a able quickly to speak evil'of me." Christ's words condemn all who are actuated by party-spirit, envy, 40 we see that ail men must range themselves on one side or the other--with Christ or against him. There is no neutral ground with Him, and we must regard doing Christ's work in a spirit of love and not of enmity, although they have different modes of Disciples Rebuke Christ "And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them."

The results of the decisions arrived at in the Quebec meetings will have a large effect on Radio in 1944. You can rest assured however, that whatever decisions are arrived at, radio's people fighting on the home front will continue their outstanding contribution to your entertainment and information as well as to our war effort. healer and these children required him in neither capacity. But Jesus is more than that, He is essentially ths Blesser, whatever form the blessing may take. The Childlike Spirit "But when Jesus saw it..... he shall in no wise enter therein." Our Saviour is referring to the spirit of a little child, the spirit of h mility, the spirit which was mis-. sing in his disciples. Every gentle modest child is lowly in thought, ready to be taught. Unless we are humble and receptive like a child we cannot enter the Kingdom. "And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying hands upon them." The true disciple must welcome children, serve them, learn from them, and catch their humble, trustful, loving, receptive The Servant Of All "And Jesus called them to him .... shall be servant of all." The ruling class of that day held their inferiors in subjection and demanded obedience from them on the ground of their superior rank and power. Greatness in the Kingdom of God consists not in arbitrary is the christian who is ready to stoop to serve the lowest of Cod's children who is the greatest in God's sight.

THE LESSON IN ITS S'ETTNG Time--Our Lord's teachings to His own disciples, as recorded in I chapter nine, were uttered in Autumn, A.D. 29. All the teachings and events of the remaining part of the lesson took place in February and March, A.D. 30. ..Place--Our Lord's announcement about His forthcoming death took place in Galilee. His discourse concerning greatness was uttered in Capernaum. All the rest of the material assigned to our lesson falls in that period of His life which was spent in Peraea. Greatness In Men "And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, -what were ye reasoning on the way? But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the greatest and he sat down and called the twelve: and he bVfirst* he shall he' last of all. They were ashamed to tell the Lord the subject of their disput- ister. In the presence ot Jesus we are all put to silence when we habe been proud, ambitious, full of controversial spirit. The thought of the love and humility of our Saviour shames us into silence. What is meant by being great? Jesus answered that greatness lies in character, in service--to love and serve all for Christ's sake. In The Name Of Christ "And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he saith unto them, whosoever shall receive one of such little children whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me."
