YGF oF Canadals No.3 Gold Producer Quantity Miced Here in 1938 'Was the Greatest Ever Re- corded in History of the Do- minion = A---- Canada ranked third among the "gold producing countries .of the world in 1938, when the produc. tion of new gold in the Dominion * from all primary, sources totalled 4,725,117 fine - ounces compared 'with 4,096,213 tue ounces in 1937. Tha gross valde of 'the Canadian: output in 1938 amounted fo $166, 205,990 or an increase of almost 16, per cent over that'for the preced- ing year. The quantity and value of .gold pRpduced in Canada in 1938 were the gréatest ever recorded in the history of the Canadian min- ing industry. Ontario Contributed Most Of the 'total output fn 1938 the mines of Ontario contributed 2,896. 477 ounces; Quebec, 881,263 ounc- es; British Columbia, 605,617 ounces and Manitoba, 185,706 ounc- es. Lesser quantities were recov. ered in Yukon, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and the Northwest Territories and Alberta, Sold to Government The estimated average price per fine ounce of gold in Canadian funds was $35.17 in 1938 compared with $34.99 in 1937, Practically all of Canada's newly-minted gold bul lion is sold to the Dominion Gov- ernment through the Royal Canad- fan Mint at Ottawa or the Assay Office at Vuncouver.

PLACE--AL the Sea of 'Galilee. 3. And he spake to then' many things in parables, saying. Invar- iably in the teaching'of Jesus a parable was a picture of things seen, intended --to reveal and ex- plain things unseen. Teaching by parables aroused. attention; caus- ed lessons to remain longer in the memory: =i 3b. Behold, the sower = went. forth to sow; 4. and as he sow- cd, some -seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and de- voured them: 5. and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much carth: and straight- way they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6. and" when the sun was risen, they were . scorched; "and because they had no root, they withered away, "7. And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and chok- ed them; 8. and others fell upon the groudd, and yielded fruit, some 'a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. There are three fore. es at work in this parable: tha soil, . which is of four different kinds; the seed, and the same kind of seed is used in each-of the four soils; and the sower. Here in these few clauses, is enough truth to occupy us for hours and hours, so rich are the words of our Lord, The seed is the word of God, and the different -soils are the various types of people it is sown to, The Kingdom of Heaven 31. Another parable set he be- fore them, saying, The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field:-32. which indeed is. less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, anid becometh a- = tree, so that the birds of the 'heaven come and rlodge in the branches thereof 33 Another parable spake he un- to them; The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven, which a wo- man took, and hid in three meas- ures of meal, till it was all leav- tned, Generally this parable is said to teach that "the kingdom spreads from soul to soul until all are brought under the sovercign- "Hall, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, didd at her home, Kéii- sington Palace, at the age of 91. - Daughter of Queen Victoria, Prin- cess Louise is survived by her brother, the Duke of Connaught, and her sister, Princess Beatrice.

Sharks Enter t Liver Oil, Fins, Skiri and Teeth Bring Catchers Good Profit The common shark, long con- sidered the pest of Florida's-salt - waters, is giving up his liver-to make a $100,000-a-year business. The oil from the liver is: rich in Vitamin A, and is-used in med- icinal compounds.

"Leave. en" here may imply an evil influ. which js weakening the church in the world today. In that case, the meanihg of the .parable is entire- ly the opposite of the usual inter. pretation, Hidden Treasurs 44, The kingdom of heaven- is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which @; man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buy- eth that field. 45, Again, the a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls: 46. and having found one pearl of great price, he went out and sold all that he had, and bought it. The man of these two parables may be the same person as the man of the preced- ing parables, namely the™ Lord Jesus Christ; and we believe that the treasure hid in a field, which we take to be the world, as in previous parables of this chapter, is Israel, his treasure; (Edox. 19: 5). Let us think of the church as the pearl precious to the Lord, which has grown as a small grain of sand has, in the side of an oys- ter, This pearl is still forming in the world today. If we direct our attention to the beauty of our Lord's parables, we shall find them the most com- plete and finished models, "apples of gold in pictures of silver." If this lesson is properly under- stood," we find in it a most solemn presentation: of the wide and deep prevalence of evil through- out the Kingdom during this age, of the need of constant watchful. ness that the werd of God should TRYIN' TO WRITE ALL TH' NEWS TO YOUR DISTANT FRIEND IS, QUITE ATASK= WHY NOY SUBSCRIBE T' THIS © "LETTER FROM HOME FOR, HERZ on Wibe able destiny awaiting all those at the end of this age who are not truly the children of God.

More Than Twenty , Operations Every Day Keep Hospital Surgeons Busy! "One of America's-- Great Hospitals Treats Children Only During a visit to Toronto recently. your reporter called at the Hospital for Sick Children on College Street. I had sedn this Hospital mentioned in news reporls many, many times, patticularly during the great Polio epidemic of 1937. It was high time, I thought,. to do a little private in- vestigation and find out why this Hospital should be so much in the news. WHAT HAPPENS EVERY . TWENTY-FOUR HOURS I interviewed Mr. Joseph Bower, the Superintendent of this busy In. stitution. - He told me that during the twenty-four hour period pre- ceding my visit, nineteen operations had been performed . . . fifty-two X-ray photographs taken . . . two hundred and eighty individual pre- scriptions © filled in a complefely- © equipped dispensary . . . twenty- eight bed patients were admitted +++ « thirty-three children discharged ~as cured . , . more than fourteen hundred meals served . . . ten chil- dren had extensive denlal work done ... 95% of the beds were oc- cupied, leaving only 19 beds free for emergency cases. And, according to the Superinten- dent, the twenty-four hour perjod: was an average one, insofar as lypis cal hospital activity was concerned. VISIT TO PUBLIC WARDS After. this chat on Hospital acti- vity, 1 was kindly shown through -tha Institution, We" visited the Public Wards, the kitchens; swim. ming pool (necessary in the treat- ment of Polio and other cases), the orthopaedic workshop, the dispen- sary and operating rooms. It struck me as being a completely-equipped hospital with much special equip- ment, Every Ward we visited, Mr. Bower would say: "This is a Public Ward." I was quite surprised to Tearn that 95% of thie patients treated -here are in Public Wards. The Hospital Is taxed to capacity with little children whose patents are unable to pay even the low Public Ward rates. The casé history of one little chap 1 had chatted with, while walking through the Ward, was very inler- esting and quite typical. "He was brought here one cold 'Winter day fn 1037. His parents had driven more than a hundred miles In the old farm truck so thelr little child might have hospital treatment. i "After examining the little fellow. our doctors told the parents that he J ee. { that a complete cure would take many months. "Upon hearing that bad news, the ~ (ather and mother were all for bundling the little chap up and leaving for home. They could never begin to pay for that much treat. ment, thoy said, 'We had hoped it might be just a week or so'. "It took quite a while" con. tinued the Superintendent, "but 'we finally convinced the parents that just because they couldn't afford to - pay for the boy's care wad no rea- son to deprive him of the only chance he had to get well, We ask- ed them to leave their son with us and let us worry about the cost of the treatment. "The boy is going home next week after almost two years of cen- tinuous hospital care, many opera- tions, several X-Rays, special diels, orthopaedic equipment, etc. He's feeling pretly fit now and his par. ents have been able to pay but a little toward this wonderful (reat ment. When a sick child necds hes- pital care, he gets it regardless of- race, creed or financial elrcum- stance." This led to a discussion on the operating costs of the hospital, I was given information which is ine teresting and well worth passing on. In round figures, the operating expenses of the Hospital for the past year amounted 16 more than $513,000, The operating revenue--from Pri. vate, Semi-private patients and the comparalively few Public Ward patients who are able to pay, grants {rom Toronto, other Municipalities and the Provincial Government-- amounted to just a little more than $394,000. This means that the Hos pital, although run on the most ef. ficient and economical basis, suffer. ed an operating loss of over $149,000, Part of (his deficit is met by the In. tome from investments made with moneys bequeathed or endowed over a sixty-year period. There Is still a deficit of $00,000. And that is why this Hospital can. duets an annual appeal at this time to secure enough funds to offset this operating loss. It everyone who reads this item could visit the Hospital for Sick: Children and see, as 1 did, what is done here for Ontarlo's little ones, then they would do as I did.
