Spaces Are Vast - In Pacific Ocean IIRC, y Japan's Wap of Conquest A 1 Daring Adventure, Says The i New York Tires A small boy who was asked to describe the Pacific Ocean did so by writing on his, examination pa- per - the - simple sentence: "The Pacific Ocean {8 vost." How vast it is few of us redfze. The fore- shortened maps are .published to show in detail the relationships be- tween the archipelagoes and 'the peninsulas of the Western Pagific and the China Sea inevitably tend "to create a false -impression that Japan's offensive against Singapore and the Dutch East Indies is being conducted in her own back yard. In a sense: it 1s; but it Is an enormous back" yard. Becaus ethe Far Eastern theatre of war is so far from us we are apt to think it is very closo to Japan, forgetting that our thinking is based on relative rather than actual distances. The Pacific is s0 big in fact, that islands situat- ed at great distances from us do not. have to be very close to Japan. For instance, Australia and New Zealand seem upon a casual glance at a map-to be almost as close together as Jamaica and Cuba, yet it is a fact that they are sev- eral days apart by fast steamships, And Singapore, the main objective of Japan's extensive operations in the Western Pacific, is 3,300 miles from Tokyo, about the same as the distance from New York to Lon don, In undertaking 'a war of conquest go far from. home, Japan has em- barked on a daring and perilous adventure. The task of keeping open her lines of communications to her distant battlefronts is one which will keep her naval forces busy. And always, as long as Brl- tish and American sea power ex- ists, those lines are If they can be cut, her armies now threatening Singapore, the Nether: lands Indies, Australia, New Zea- land and the Philippines will wither and die like branches cut from a tree. : : Lieut..General A.

Auto Production New Order Direct Result of Shortage of Strategic Raw Materials Clarification of a sweeping gov- ernment order under which passen- ger automobil production in Can- ada will be stopped within the next three months is expected to be given shortly by motor vehicles controller J. JH. Berry. Under the plan, Munitions Min- {ster Howe announced manufacture will be discontinued as soon as existing inventories of already fa- bricated, parts are assembled--by the end .of March or early in April. Monthly preduction rate, mean: while, must be reduced to one-half the 1941 output. Mr. Howe also announced that creation of .a, "pool" of new pass- enger automobiles for emergency purposes will begin at once, These velcles will be made avails able only upon obtaining a permit trom the motor vehicles controller, and will be released only to indl-- viduals whose duties are.of an es sential nature and who. require an automobile to perform them. ~The new order was described as a direct result of an acute shortage 'of steel, rubber, and other strategic raw materials. "No further restrictions. have as yet bezn fmposed on truck produc tion," the statement said, "Trick o6Ltput was brought under control last, month in an order which limited 1942 prduction of trucks under 10,000 pounds gross 5 rating to 50 per cent of the 1941 pd age to the number pro: last yea 2 g total and trucks of 10,000 pounds Bro ; of the older buildings ihuahua, Mexico, have en- threatened. | J by nr not 2 SU A SC 0 LE oO LESSON 1V : THE TEMPTATION OF. JESUS Matthew 4: 1.11; Mark 1:12, 13; © Luke 4:1-13 PRINTED TEXT, Matthew, 4:1-11, GOLDEN TEXT.--For we have « + . one that hath been in all 'points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The spring of A.D, 27. Place.--A wilderness, probably on the west side of the Jordan, though its location 18 not defin- itely known. Satan's Desire 1, "To be tempted of the devil," Satan's 'deep and con-- stant desire, as the enemy of God, is to thwart God's purposes, to prevent God from saving men, and to make it impossible for the Kingdom of God to be fulfilled, 2, "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered." We should always bear in mind that our Lord's temptation gecurred .imme- diately after His baptism, that is, immediately after the hour He was officially anointed by the Holy Spirit to undertake his great ministry. The number 'forty' frequently recurs in the serip- tures in relation to circumstances not altogether dissimilar from 4his event, 3. "And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the son of God, command that these stones become bread," The.temp- ter puts the matter in this form in order to invite Jesus to estab- lish the fact by a miracle and in order to intimate that he certain- ly has the right thus to satisfy his hunger, - Jesus was tempted work a miracle in order to re- ~Mleve his, hunger. But he never performed miracles merely for his own benefit; they were all wrought to do good to others, and to attest his divine mission. 4. "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." In each of the three temptations, Christ answers by quoting a passage from 'the ~{--0ld-Testament-Seripturesi--What-- is this word of God which we are to flash through all falsehood like the thrust of a gleaming sword? It is the word of divine truth; it .is. the word of divine promise, laying: God's strengthen- ing comfort upon the heart. Note carefully that the moment Christ wields the Word of God, Satan ceases a particular temptaticn. 65. "Then the devil taketh him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6. and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall hoes ol give his angels charge concerning thee: and, on their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone." Jesus stands on the lofty pinnacle 'of the Tower, oriof the Temple porch. He is surveyihg the scene and by his side is the tempter, watching him. This was the time to act upon his trust. But so to have done would have been not trust--far less the hero- ism of faith--but presumption, Such temptation as was here pre- sentdd to our Lord can occur in our gwn lives. > Fo "Unity "of Scripture 7. "Jesus said unto -him, £.5in it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God." Once again our Lord turns to the arm- ory of the Word of God. Only as we enter into the unity of Scriture, as it balances, completes and explains itself, are we armed against error and delusion, excess or defect. 8. "Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high moun- tain, * and showeth him ald the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them: 9. and he said unto him, all these things will I give "thee, if thou wilt fall down and - worship me." The one thing that Satan wanted was so simple to state yet so vast in its implica- tions, namely that Jesus should fall down and worship him, Whom we worship, we serve. By bowing down we submit to the one before whom we throw ourselves pros trate. Should Jesus have bowed his knee to this monster of in iquity, then he would have come under Satan's power. Two Principles 10. "Then saith* Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." This passage reveals the two fundamental prin. ciples dominant in our Lord's life, namely: an intimate knowledge of what the will of God is ih any particular crisis of 'life, and, sec- ondly, a determination to adhére to the will of God, no matter what 'the cost might be. When these two principles are domim- ate in the life of any believer, that life is safe fro collapsing in the hour of femptation; that life will be one constant triumph, of increasing strength and of 'gilver in their walls to make olition highly profitable, © abiding joy. into the holy city; and he set him | role of bridegroom, Yes, it's Andy Hardy--all grown up and playing the real life The 21-year-old film star is pictured with his 19-year-old bride, the former Ava Gardner, of Wilson, N.C,, shortly after their wedding in the Presbyterian Church of Ballard, Calif, - Winston Churchill Values Punctuality Premier Winston' Churchill is one of the world's busiest men and to such men punctuality is a virtue.

This is the supplying of Government Approved vegetable seeds, for use in British Scout Victory Gardens. * *® * One of the outstanding forms of war service rendered by the Boy Scouts of Canada during 1941 was the "shore leave" camp maintained near Halifax, on the "Lone Cloud Scout Reserve" for the benefit of sailors of the con- voy fleet. Some 1,500 ratings from ships 'of all types were given governl rest days ashore, for which the warmest appreciation was expressed by men and offi- "cers, - In a number of cases ap- preciation .. took the. 'additional form of .a substantial donation from a ship's eanteen fund, voted by the men tliémselves. The 'sailors 'Were accommodated in eight Adirondack shelters, an officers' hut and a mess hall com- plete with galley. Three of the eight shelters were paid for re- spectively by the Canadian- Gen. eral Council, the "Scouts "of Mon.* treal and the Halifax Rotary: Club.
