Two Canadians' 34,000-Mile Sail Aboard a 68-Foot Ketch -- Trip Lasted Year and(A Half "~The Ahto, a 068foot ketch, de- posited 11 round-the-world tra. . vellers at. Greenwich, Conn, last week, including two young Can- adians and two-year-old Teddy 'Walter, son of the skipper. They tame back exactly one year and a half after sailing out of that port on a junket that carried them 84,000. miles over most of the seven seas. The master and owner, Ahto Walter of Greenwich, 28-year-old native of Estonia, said the voyage ad been uneventful and' he would like to set out again over the same course "tomorrow if I could get as fine a crew as ['ve had this time." The crew includ- ed James Baillie and William Ma- Crae of Oakville, Cnt. BOYS FROM OAKVILLE Teddy was 14 months-old when his mother, the former Margaret Duff, of Greenwich, carried him aboard on November 2, 1988, a: the start of the voyage and now he is a tall, tanned, wiry young: ster who trods a heaving deck as tiemly as his mariner father.

Jer. 31:33, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- Between 597 and B87 B.C. Place -- Jerusalem. In this lesson we find a remark: able illustration of the infinite wis. dom, the foreknowledge, unchange- ableness, and omnipotence of God,! determining . froth "the beginning what he will do even to the. eud, by his power bringing to fulfilment the plans which he has foreknown. God planned the very finest pos- sible life, the greatest prosperity, for his children Israel. 'Chapters 30 and 31 belong toge- ther and speak of one - common theme, 'the vestoration of Israel The beautiful picture of Israel In new strength and prosperity, Ia peace. and abundant joy, in free- dom from her enemies, with her sins put away, has never yet been accomplished, The chapter there. fore cannot refer to anything that has thus- far taken place in the history of Israel, GOD'S LOVE FOR ISRAEL "7 The Lord throughout this chapter \ people. When men respond to such a love as is here ascribed to God, then joyous praise bursts from the heart, prosperity is visible on ev- ery hand, and men will be found go- joyous worship, . THE NEW COVENANT Jer. 31: Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Is- rael, and with the house of Judah: 32. not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day 'that 1 took them- by the hand to bring them out of the land ot Egypt: 33. But this is"the coven- ant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah. 33, But this is the covenant that I "will make with the house of Israel atfer those days, saith Jehovah: I will 'put my. law In their inward parts, and in their heart will I also write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34. And they shall teach no more ev- ery man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Je- hovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for 1 will forgive their inlquity, and their sin will I remember no more. The new covenant here referred | to, and quoted in a very significant passage by the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, is, first of all, cor- tainly a covenant not with- the church, but with the house of Is- rael and the house of Judah, as is explicitly stated. The old covenant is the law-covenant, which the Lord did not make with Gentiles, but with Israel exclusively. The new covenant is of grace. The ground ot this new covenant is the sacrl- ficial death of the Lord Jesus Christ, his blood, as we learn from his own words when he instituted the supper, He died for that nation, and therefore all Israel will yet re- celve the promised blessing of this now covenant, This prophecy is therefore still unfilled, for Israel does not enjoy this new covenant naw. covenant is a covenant, in its final experience, in which soul shall be rendered fndependent of the external law and of the hu- man interpreter; the law of God within, written on the heart, receiv. ed by direct revelation of the will of God within the spirit. THEY WILL BE FULFILLED 35. Thus saith Jehovah, who giv- eth the sun for a light by day, and tho ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; hosts is his name; 36. If these ord- inances depart from before me, salth Jehovah, then the seed of a nation before me for ever. 37. Thus salth Jehovah: If heaven up "above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast oft all the seed of Israel for all that Tho leading thought in this pas. sage Is that the reign of law which we recognize in God's creative work has its counterpart in his spiritual + kingdom, The sfability, and perm. and earnest of the fultiiment of his Reondses to Israel as a people, The Now Covenant of pardon ahd fllum- " {natlon is to be, what the first cov- enant was not, eternal in {ts dur. atlon, : We should now read Paul's pro- found exposition of the promise of God's covenant with Israel In the eleventh chapter of Romans, Asbestos production in Canada during January, 1940, amounted to 26,651 tons In January, 1038. is clearly speaking to - Israel his | 'tng vp the house of the Lord for | RADI "where, and front -- three " brings you an Another IntGrpretation: The new the human .

One of the chief dangers from flies lies in their varied food ha- bits. Not only do they feed on all "kinds of filth, but will alight on the most of the food laid out on the table for a meal, contaminating everything they touch. EFFECTIVE FLY SPRAYS To control this dangerous pest, fly traps, door and window screens, fly swatters, sticky papers, polson- ed baits and fly sprays are used. An effective and safe bait is made * by adding a tgaspoonful of forma- iin to a pint ofjwater or dilute milk , in a saucer. It should be placed out of reach of children, Fly sprays made of 13 pound of flowers of pyrethrum to a gallon of kerosene aro effective. Tha best control of housellies is by eliminating their breeding plac- es. The most important of these aro manure piles and garbage dumps. Manure storage should be s0 constructed ns to discourage breeding and the pile treated with borax solution, Garbage should bo stored in fly-proot containers Jit disposed of.

Improving Pastures _ As War-Time Policy Better pastures for cheaper production and higher profits is a logical wartime agricultural programme for the Canadian farmer. Grass is the cheapest and most nutritious. livestock feed pro- duced on the farm. Thus, this year, with the increased need of conserving grain _ for feeding, grass assumes a place of more" than usual importance. A desirable type of pasture is one that enables thé, dairy or beef herds to satisfy their require- ments sufficiently rapidly to per- mit of their spending many hours beneath the sliade trees, chewing the cud -in absolute contentment, says G. R. Snyder, soil chemist. TYPES OF PASTURE In districts where the soil is high in lime and favourable for red clover, high yielding, short rota: tion pastures are most favoured. Premliminary preparation for suc- cess with this type calls for the application of a liberal amount of fertilizer, according to the nceds indicated by a soil test. _ Dr. 0. McConkey "of the On- tario Agricultural Cpllege, sug- gests the use of a light nurse crop, usually oats or barley and a seed mixture composed of and sown at the rate of: alfalfa G Ibs.; red clover 4 lbs; alsike 1 Ib; timothy 5 Ibs; brome § lbs., and Kentucky Blue 3 lbs, per acre. A more permanent type of pas- ture mixture consisting of en- tucky Blue, €anadian Blue, tim othy and wild white clover is fav- oured for beef cattle pastures and | is the most practical and. econ- omical type for areas of strongly acid soils and high rainfall. Wild white clover is an exceedingly nu- 'tritious legume and thrives when moisture js plentiful; v2 Infants Are Quicker Than Adult Monkeys A tentative conclusion that in. fants are quicker to grasp an idea than are adult monkeys, was re. ported to the Middle Western Psy- chological Association. Dr. Ben Weinstein, of the Uni. versity of Wisconsin, said that he had subjected two children, 37 and 34 months old, and two four. year-old monkeys to similar tests and that the children" had proved more apt. et By William Ferguson | This Curious WORLD F 4 " Ze.
