Island of Borneo Attacked By Japs Second Largest Island In the World Has Inexhaustible Natural Resources / Borneo has come into the news with the Japanese attacks on the Northen coast, says the Stratford Beacon-Herald, As another move , in Japanese tactics of surprise, this initial attempt to land strong forces on the big islands fits into the general picture of Tokio's de termination to Allies before their greater resour- «Les begin to tell. To achieve the conquest of Borneo would réquire more power than Japan possesses, The island is the second. largest in the world, It has an area five times that of Ei More than three-quarters of it, a territory seventeen times the size of. Holland, is under Dutch rule, But the Northern coast ¢mbracing the three protecturates of North Borneo, Brunei-and Sarawak, is British. Below these protector- ates and stretching across the girth of the island, is the Kapuas Mountain range, a formidable bar- rier between the British and Dutch areas. Though there are produc- tive oil fields in Sarawak, which might relieve the Japanese short- age, the inexhaustible natural re- sources which Japan covets lie to the south in Dutch Borneo. British Borneo is neither well developed nor well protected, The British have recently moved troops into the region and built militray airports in Sarawak. But the real defence is the strong- hold of Singapore. It cannot now send the needed aid, either by sea or air. But "if Singapore stands, the Japanese will find it difficult if not. impossible to ge- cupy Borneo.

THE INFANCY AND BOYHOOD OF /JESUS. -- Matthew 1, 2; Luke 1, 2. 4 PRINTED TEXT, Luke 2: 25.35, © 39, 40, GOLDEN TEXT, Jesus ad vanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men, Luke 2:52, s THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Tinik, -- The aununciation to Joseph and to Mary probably took place in 6 B.C, Our Lord was born in the winter of 5-4 B.C, The visit to the Temple at Jerusa- lem, when Jesus was twelve years old, is thought to have occurred in April, A.D.. 8, Place. -- The annunciation to Joseph and Mary took place in Nazareth some seventy miles north of Jerusalem, where Jesus lived until He was a mature man, The birth of our Lord took place in Bethlehem six miles below Jer- usalem, The circumcision of Christ, and all events connected with the Temple at the time of His birth, took place in Jerusalem, To what place in Egypt the holy Lady fled we do not know, Adoration of Simeon 25. And behold, there was a man in. Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26. And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27, And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law, 28. then he reteived him into his arms, and blessed God, and saith, 29. Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace; 30. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31. Which thou has pre- pared before the face of all peo- ples; 32. A light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 83. And his fa- ther and his mother were marvel- ling at the things which were spoken concerning him; 84. and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against; 35, yea and a sword shall pierce - thine . own - soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed." of this aged saint, except.what is here recorded by Luke. He is de- scribed simply as righteous and devout, as looking for the Mes- siah, and as moved by the Holy Spitit to believe that he would . not die before he had seen the Messiah, Guided by the Spirit to the courts of the Temple, he no sooner saw Jesus there, than the. words of the famous Nunc Dimit- tis rose to his lips; Whilst Mary was wondering at the meaning of such words, Simeon turned to her and foretold the diverse results of the mission of Jesus, A stum- bling block and an offense to some, it would be the inspiration of a new life to others; and with her own blegsedness would mingle anguish unspeakable, In the is- sue the de@pest needs of many souls would be excited and met and men's heats would be probed, enriched and 'satisfied. By what sign Simeon was taught of the . spirit to recognize the child of Mary as Christ, we are not told. In his song Simeon does not pray for death, he thanks God for per---- mitting him to see what many pro- --phets- and kings had desired to see and were not permitted,. the. . "salvation" tie had promised; and - having seen it, he says that he is ready to go when God wills, The singular sweetness, the calm beau- ty of the song of Simeon has al- ways been recognized and for ag- -es it has entered into evening ser- vice of the church. Both the An- glican and the Roman Catholic churches have appointed it as a "hymn at vespers, teaching us to live every day as if we knew it to be our last; and embracing Christ in faith, to thank God for Him and to be ready in peace to flepart in him, Growth of Jesus And when they had a all things that Ere according to the law f 'he Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazar- eth, 40. and the child grew, and * waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the Grace of God was upon' him." _ The Saviour of the world, God's 8on Incarnate, grew up physically © in the most normal way, with nothing to mar his bodily deveopment.

A "Brass Hat paradoxicaly enough, may not have any brass (gold braid or leaves) on his hat at all, Generally speaking, though, a Brass Hat is a senior officer on the Staff. He may-be recognized by colored "'gorget patches" on his lapels and a band of the same color aound' his cap which varies to the branch of the Staff to which he be longs, We'll go into that detall later-- it only came in here, like "Dusty" Rhodes, as an illustration or the sort of thing, amongst others, that this column will interest itself In | from week to week.

A Normal Boy In Luke 2: 41-52 is the only account we have of any event be- tween the early childhood of Jesus in Nazareth and His baptism, which probably took place at the "age of thirty. This is probably the first time that Jesus beheld the city of Jerusalem. It may be that He went up every year there- after, but we do not know. And where would the Son of God be found? In the Temple 'of God, in the midst of the teachers, "both hearing them, and asking them questions," The entire text clear- ly implies that Jesus did not know everything when he was twelve years of age. He was a mormal boy. He grew in wisdom. At the same time, we do not believe there was any actual ignorance in the mind of Jesus. He knew God perfectly as a boy of twelve. He also knew Him perfectly as a man' of thirty. Furthermore, our Lord knew definitely at this time what -He"had 'come to éarth to accom- plish, just as He knew definitely throughout His life the purpose for which God had sent Him. His hear! directed Hint into what should have been the holiest place in the City of Jerusalem, open to one not a priest. By His conver- sation, He indicated that His life, even at this early age, was dom. inated by the will.of His Father. Nevertheless, though He knew{- God, and knew Himself to be the Son of God, and the Messiah announced by the prophets, yet He returned to Nazareth with His parents, and remained obedient to | --them-as-a- perfect: boy--- SF pre It's easy enough to figure out for «feature, which will come to nd | A Wels; Column About This and That In The Canadian 'Army : co 2 80 It followed several other Bug: gestions into the discard. the Adjutant-General, the Chiet of the Afr Staff, some Air Force of- * ficers and ground crews who have 10 brave thé weathér regardless of rain and sleet, I watched a trans. port aircraft descefid In the «lark. neds at Ottawa, Out of the plane stepped Defence Minister Ralston, back from England.

Canada Produces Most Aluminum Canada's production' of aluin- um has increased five times since the start of the war, bringing her up from third to first place among the producing nations of the world, John Bassett, jr., told the Royal Montreal Club at a lunch recently, Mr. Bassett said the United. States would not at- tain the Dominion production fig- ure before March, 1942,. Before the war, he said, first place alternated between Ger- many and the United States, He. observed, however, that Canada's output would not remain 'static 'when' the U.S. regained premier production honors. Mr. Bassett outlined the devel- opment of the aluminum industry on its present continent-wide scope, from the creolite sotirces of Greenland to the bauxite mines of British Guiana, In this connec- tion he noted the great develop- ment of the which only 1b years ago was a farming area, Hydroelectric devel- ~opment in the Saguenay had to- day reached 1,250,000 h.p. with a potential output of 1,750,000 h.p.
