. since way back in Hawick: British: Knitwear Centre This Town TR scaxdfd In. vented Sweater and Cardi gan; Colors Are Dictated by Tweeds ' \ ' In the silvery north where Scotland and England meet lies Hawick, the stone town which in- vented the sweater and cardigan, classic women's sportswear, Hawick, the centre of the' knit. wear industry in Britain, began ifs first factory for making knitwear goods. during the 18th century, Principally it made warm knitted stockings: for men, Now, how- ever, the knitting machines turn the wool from Cheviot lambs and sheep of the border hills from the dull, grey and brown look of the old knits into rich or tender shad.' es dyed for fashionable women. BEGAN IN 18th CENTURY . Wool comes to Scotland from all parts of the world, while the Cheviot sheep now is reserved for tweeds made so fine that they can be tucked or even shirred, Cash- meres that come to Hawick from Tibet are styled by London, through London's great style de- signers, and Hawick's mill work- ers make them into fashion gar- ments. - PALE PASTEL COLORS Colors in knitwear are dictated by, the color blends of tweeds, be- cause knitwear is more often worn with tweeds than with anyiling else, So much are cardigans and pullovers influenced Ly tweed colors and patterns that there are whole new ranges which copy ev- ery detail and every tone of a good check tweed. In the pale pastel colors, Shet- -land knits are probably the best. But as well there are the chenille pullovers and cardigans, long- haired angora sects and lambswool sets in pale colorings.

Beads In-Water Grow To Pearls But It Won't Work in Bath Tub, Says Expert on Cultured Pearls , Did you know that pearls cap be "grown" from ordinary, everyday beads? And did you know that it takes seven to 10 years for a bead to turn into a pearl? A lot of peo. plo have been engaged in this work 1890 when a Japanese scientist discovered that mother nature could be tricked, So F. E. Belsham, jeweler, in- foimed a recent lunchecon-meeting of the Toronto Uptown Optimist club, RECENT DEVELOPMENTS "Telling of _the romantic back. ground of man's search for -pearls through the ages, Mr, Belsham ex. plained the more recent develop- ment of cultured pearls.

Place.--Antioch in Pisidia was about one hundred . miles from Perga, in Asia Minor, located near the River Anthios, in the district of Galatia, called Phrygia. (This city must be always clearly distinguished from the other An- tioch, located" Syria, from whence began his missionary journeys). = I¢onium was about ninety miles southwest of Anfi- och; Lystra was about thirty miles further south of Iconium, and Derbe twenty miles still further "to the east, Opposition to the Gospel Acts 13:44, "And the next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God. 45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blas- phemed." Probably many of the Jews that were at first favorably disposed to Paul's message had reacted against him under the in- fluence of the rabbis during the week. Nothing is specifically stated here about the rabbis, but they were beyond doubt the in- stigators of, and the ringleaders in, the opposition, as in Thessa- lonica. Doubtless these rabbis in- dulged, in unkind personalities, and made it plain that Paul and Barnabas were going beyond the limitations of pure Judaism in their contacts .with Gentiles. God's Word Spreads 46. "And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God to you. judge yourselves unworthy of cternal life, lo, we turn. to the Gentiles, 47. For so hath the Lord commanded us, sayings I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be - for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. 48. And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were or- dained to eternal life believed. 49. And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region." ' Turning Point . At this hour occurs one of th turning points of early Church history, the turning of the Apostle Paul from the Jews to the Gen- tiles, a turning directly in the will of God, for long ago through the Prophet Isaiah (42:6 and 49:6, echoed in the adoration of Simeon at the time of our Lord's birth-- Luke 2:31 and 32) it was fore- told that the Messiah would be not only a Saviour to the Jews, but a Saviour of all men, a light shining to the Gentiles through the darkhess of their sin and ig- norance, This does not mean that Paul ceased from now on to enter into the synagogues, and to preach to the Jews--not at all. But it does mean that th ajor part of his life from now til his death was spent Jn preaching to the citizens of thé great cities of the Roman Empire, where Gen- tiles gathered together in multi- tudes to hear him, outside of the synagogue, Jewish opposition to Paul continued to increase, finally leading to his death, and more and more he was compelled to carry out the original program God had intended for him, to preach 'a full salvation to all men regardless of race or descent, The phrase 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed" has down through the ages given rise to a gros) deal of theological disputa- tion. 50. "But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief' men of the city, and stirred up a persecution - against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders. ~ 51. But_they. shook 'off the 'dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium." Shaking off the dust of the feet implied dis- approbation and rejection, 52. "And the disciples weré filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit." Wherever men are saved, men are rejoiting, No conceivable, eircum- stances of life can ever snuff out or destroy that joy. in Faith is First Gal, 3:23. "For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. 27. Far as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. 28," There ean be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye are all one man in Christ Jesus, 20, 'And if ye ave Christ's, Writing SN » a pattern of death in the skies is this battle-hardened British anti-aircraft crew, part of the garrison at Tobruk, besicged for weeks by Axiy, ground and air forces. then are ye Abraham's seed, heihs according to promise." The Galatian people were fickle, Those to whom Paul is now particularly speaking were the Galatian Jews. They had shown a tendency to go back from Christianity to Juda- ism, and Paul's purpose here is to show them the folly of such a re- turn. He reminds them that be- fore they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, they were prisoners of the Law, and the Law had for. its purpose to bring them .unto the Lord Jesus Christ, who would. be able to save them, justifying them by faith in Him, Having Christ for their Savi- our, these Galatian Christians had the following: 1. they were abso- lutely justified before God; 2. they had become the children of God by faith in Christ; 3. they had been baptized into Christ; 4. they had put on Christ, i.e., Christ had become for them their very life; 6. they were all one in Christ; 6. being in Christ, they had become truly the spiritual seed of Abraham; 7. they were now the real heirs of salvation ac- cording to the promises made to their fathers. What more could these people possibly have or want? Why leave Christ and go back to the Law when in the Law they had known none of these things? = Saskatchewan is joining the sheep fraternity.

A month's work in sodding and planting can be ruined in one cess of rolling and tamping goes on again. There's only one sure way to protect the landscaping that makes a yard or lawn look fin. ished, That is a retaining wall. And just because a retaining wall is primarily a support for earthworks doesnt mean that it must be unsightly, A modern re- taining wall is, or -should be, a decorative feature of the scape. Protect Landscaping The height of a retaining wall depends upon the amount of earth that must be held up. If the em- bankment rises steeply from a sidewalk, the wall should be fairly high. If the slope is gentle, a very low wall will suffice. In either case a strong, goodlookng, decorative wall can be built, Two Types There are two kinds of retain. ing walls, generally speaking: The solid, monolithic type and the masonry type. Either of these is completely efficient, and choice between them will depend largely on the appearance of the house and yard, - For instance, if the house is built with masonry walls, the rec- taining walls might be made to match it both ip design and color. If the house is stucco finished or surfaced with some other even. textured material, the retaining walls can be of the monolithic or solid type. This, of course, depends upon personal taste, For masonry walls, units of dif- ferent sizes can be placed together "in interesting patterns, with smooth oi rough-finished joints. In the solid wall, decorations may be formed in the wall when it is placed. Exposed aggregate or tex- tured surface is often desirable. When modernizing your home, beauty and permanence should be one of the- governing factors. Expansion Of Hydro Cited Power in Canada Nine Times Greater Than in Last War Hor¥ W. L. Houck, yice-chair- man of the Ontario Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission, said in a recent address at Niagara Falls, Ont., that the electrical capacity of Canada at the present time is 9,400,000 horzepower, nine times as great as it was in the First Great War. Speaking before the convention of the Ontario Optometrical Asso- ciation, he said that the commis sion of which he is an execitive has a total capacity of 2,000,000 horsepower, 20 times as great as during the last war. This meant, he said, power to _ take' raw materials from the earth and to machine them into muni- tions. "It means airplanes and explo- sives, and the efficient operation of our expanding chemical indus- try. [It means, finally, uniforms for our troops, food for our people, fuel for the flames of democracy." Stains on Stucco Can Be Removed Three methods have been sug- gested for removing linsced oil stains from stucco. (1) Slice good laundry' soap very thin and dissolye it in boil- ing water. With a sponge or soft bruzh apply this to the stained surface. Rub until the stains disappear, then rinsg the-surface immediately with clean" water, (2) Obtain a prepared liquid paint and varnish remover. Using this on a clean cloth, wipe the stains off, then, .with a fresh cloth, wipe the surface dry. (8) If the stains are particu- larly stubborn, dust on a thin. coat of powdered alkaline paint and varnish rémover.
