N It comes entirely from the sugar beet Industry which has been greatly expanded over a number of years. Liicolnshire has the largest acreage of any counly growing beets and it also has a number of sugar beet factories. A Ministry. of Food spokesman sald he understood the situation is so satisfactory that no sugar is being imported, Britain's present annual sugar consumption is a wartime secret. The weekly ration amounts to 11. 760,000 hundredweight annually. This: does not include the amount allotted to hotels and boarding houses and for industrial purposes. The average weekly pre-war con. v ~--spumption was 2 1-4 pounds per head, Imports in 1938 totalled 47,447,661 hundredweight. while Britain's 18 sugar beet factories produced some ~ 10,000,000 hundredweight that year, : Mapping « of Canada Project Under Way A Mapping and examination of many thousands of square miles of Canadian territory is being un- - dertaken this year by the Depart-. - ment of Mines and Resources, 'Twenty-seven . geological parties "and nine topographical parties have heen assigned to the work.

The Idea is to furnish Britons with a suit which will save cloth and labor. It is the brainchild of 8.

Linings would be whittled down and there would be only one button on each sleeve, Pockets would he without flaps. The trousers would have no cuffs, _ There would he no buttons for sus- penders or ag they are called there, braces, and there wouldn't be helt- loops. 8. Klein says there are cer- tain sélf-supporting detatls which will save the day. So all the Englishman needs is money, clothing coupons and. hips enough to-keep up the trousers.

We might speak of the book of of the word of God; of Genesis, all fundamental, re- vealed truths originate, so in the book of Revelation, do all funda- mental truths terminate, The book records a series of mighty battles, ending in one tremendous and final victory, with all sin being put the throne forever.

Church at Ephesus "The Church at Ephesus, which was founded by the Apostle Paul, is commended for its good works. its labor, its patience in the midst of trials, and its abhorence of evil men, They, like the Lord, had hated the works of the Nicolaitans, a group of an impure and licen- tious e¢haracter, which would bring into the Church the corruption of paganism. In everything it would . seem the Church had been walk- ign worthy of the name of its Lord Christ, But one thing was wrong. It had departed from Its first love. First. love Is the abandonment of all for a love that has abandoned all. A warning follows that, if the Ephesian Church did not repent. of . this departure from the. Lord, she. would be extinguished. been. There is no Church, nor any semblance of a group of believers, in Ephesus today. It is Rothing but ruins, "+ Church in Smyrma 8.
