-- THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COL'BORNH, ONT., MAY 4, 1944 DIRECT ARMY'S 6TH VICTORY LOAN From coast to coast in Canada, in the United Kingdom and in outposts of the fighting fronts, members of the Canadian Army are swinging into the Army's 6th Victory Loan campaign. Directing the drive are, Major-General J. C. Murchie, C.B.E., Vice-Chief of the General Staff, at the left; and Lieut.-Col. G. H. Rainville, E.D., of Montreal, national chairman of the Army Victory Loan shown at the right. In the Fifth Loan, the Army at home and o verseas invested nearly 19% million dollars in war bonds. CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM for pride to look at your pass-book and find a good balance to your credit. Now it isn't something of which to be proud any more but rather something of which to be ashamed. Idle money at the bank doesn't do anyone any good-- neither ourselves, our country nor the boys who are fighting for us. But take that money -- however little or much--use it to buy Victory Bonds and then you can listen to Victory Bond propaganda with a clear conscience. I have often heard people say they get sick and tired of listening to the radio when a victory loan is being launched. Is it really victory bond sales-talk that bothers them, or an uneasy conscience? I wonder! Others say "Why should I lend money to the government when I see evidence of wasteful spending on every hand?" Well, there is no denying the fact • that our money does often appear to be spent, not wisely, but too well-but that seems to be one of the for of what two wrongs never yet made a right. If we pick holes in government expenditures a.-, an excuse for not supporting the Victory Loan then we are as much at fault as those we blame. One thing is certain --most of what We lend to the government is used for the purpose for which it was intended otherwise Canada's war effort would have collapsed long ago. So, if I may be premitted an opinion, I would say the best thing we can do is to help put this new Victory Loan over the top. Never mind keeping something back "in case of an emergency"--if an emergency arises we can always cash in on a bond, or better still, use it as security to borrow from our bank. Then when victory comes we shall feel that WE have had a share in it. Or, in the event of a reverse--which wc must expect occasionally -- our conscience will not reproach us by saying--"Well, what did you do to stop it?" Those who have boys "over there" sometimes feel that that is as much as should be expected of them. Others feel, and surely rightly so, that the very fact that their boys are away makes it more imperative for them to do all that is humanly possible to back them up. There are still others with no one in the forces--wouldn't it be ROAMING ROMERO If ■, recognize his customer as famed" screen star Cesar Romero, but when he did he reacted like any U.

All will share equally the the Farm people should remember that right now they are in a privileged class. Many farm boys have been granted exemptions •-- and we also have special gas categories--but we should remember that special privileges also carry with them special obligations. Men and boys have been deferred--sometimes on compassionate grounds but generally because the government thinks they arc needed where they are. In no case is deferment granted for the purpose of personal advantage to the individual concerned. But . . . well, sometimes the result is a little hard for others to take. However, along comes another victory loan--one more golden opportuntiy for those left at home to back up the boys who are winning the war the hard way. Their's is a sacrifice of blood. Ours is--or should be--a sacrifice of sweat, toil and tears. Anything we gain financially should go back to the government in Victory Bonds, to equalize as nearly as we can the greater sacrifice going on day after day in the firing line, in the skies, and on and under the In. lighter vein ... we have managed to get a pup at last. It won't be yellow and white, it isn't a male, and it is just about as scared as a jack rabbit. It's name? Well, I think it will have to be Lassie, because, from present indications I shall spend half my time home!" Maybe a timid pup will eventually make the best sort of j.:g. But that remains to be seem.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The visit of Paul to Thes-salonica occurred about A.D. 50, \.D. 51. Place.--Tli f hmfdTed' miles west of Philippi. Paul's Message "Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews. And • Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures, opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, said he, I proclaim unto you, is the Christ." It is in the Scriptures alone that we have the truth concerning Chr'st. In dealing with souls our reasoning must be based on the Scriptures if we are to help them. Paul's message seemed to be concerned primarily with three great themes, all relating to the Lord Testis; the atoning work of Christ, which is our salvation; the resurrection of Christ, which is our hope; and the- Deity of Christ, which makes Him our Lord. Many Are Converted "And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas; ami of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women ndt a few." Some 'consorted', that is, threw in their lot with Paul. They were ready to confess by this act that they had believed t h e truth concerning Christ, and at least received Him as their Messiah. "For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that.it hath not been found vain." The word 'vain' here means 'empty*, that is, void of substance and power. A great deal of preaching .is vain, or empty, because it gets no results. Paul's preaching resulted in a great multitude of converts in this pagan 'Greek city. Faith Given Courage "But having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold, in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict." The verb 'waxed bold' implies the undaunted bearing of the missionaries and the outspokenness with which they faced their opposers in the delivery of God's message. This A FIGHTER PRAYS RADIO REPORTER By AL LEARY While still young in years, Edgar Guest or Eddie as he is known to the broadcasting fraternity is a veteran of the Radio Industry. Few people in Canadian Broadcasting have served as long as Eddie has with CKCL. While he is now Programme Director of CKCL, succeeding Maurice Rapkin who has gone into free-lance announcing, believe it or not Eddie broke into Radio as a piano player. As far as we can find out. Eddie is the first piano player to become a Programme Director. When Eddie first broke into Radio he ■'■broke in early, about T a.m. with the hich attired only in pyjamas, Eddie Guest's home town was Ottawa, the" capital city of the Dominion, but not being a politician he left it at an early age. He is an alumnus of Victoria College where he took an Arts course, specializing in languages. Like everybody else in Radio, he just sort of grew into the industry. He became first an announcer on the staff at CKCL as a result of his Physical Training programmes and and i i's" chai four, Eddie ml.itio 'was more than natural courage-- they waxed bold in God. Faith in God, in His Gospel, gives confidence and courage. "For our exhortation is not of guile." Paul spoke nothing but the truth, 'not of error'. Paul was conscious of the. purity of his motives, 'nor of uncleanness'. There was no guile, no craftiness in Paul,--all was open and above board. Paul's Supreme Aim "But even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with .. the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who prov-eth our hearts." Paul ever remembered that he had been intrusted with the Gospel by God Himself and that his supreme aim must he to please God. "For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covet-ousuess, God is witness; nor seeking glory of men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ." Paul did not flatter men ~a~s"he presented the Gospel; he was not covetous in his preaching work, that is, he did not want money; he did not seek praise and advancement from men. "But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children." Be gentle with the fallen, with children, for gentleness opens a way into the heart . for Christ to enter. Secret of Paul's Success "Even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us." Here is a part of the secret of Paul's great gospel and his own sotil in love. "For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holilv and righteously and unblamably wc behaved ourselves toward you that believe." Paul, not to be a burden to those to whom he preached, living by working Nor. e could accuse Pa Living To Please God somewhere, sometime, operate a c. icken farm.
