Needs More Loftmen 60 Birdmen Have Answered Call To Train Pigeons Filly pigeon fanciers from coast to coast have answered the call af the Royal Canadian Alr- Force for 70 loftinen to man'/the R.O.A. ¥.'e newly-enlarged pigeon-division, Officials at Ottawa headquarters sald none of the men has been enlisted yet, pending full investi- gatlon of their records of ability, They described thé response as "good" but said. the R.C.AF is anxious to obtain more applicants, Response to the call, made sey. eral weoks ago, has been heaviest from Ontario, especially Toronto, Hamilton, and London. Edmonton leads the west but officials de- eeribed as "disappointing" the re- sponee from the Atlantic region. Age No Barrier The majority of the prospective recruits are men of more than 40 years of age. Recruiting officials . sald, however, that age is no bar- rlor, providing the men are In good health and willing to serve fn the isolated areas of Canada's east and west coasts, where the pigeon service is most needed, The men will traln pigeons to carry mapa and messages from patrol aircraft to their home bases. One of the difficulties of the recruiting officers Is to get de- tails of records made of birds flown by those applying for en- Hstment. Many of the men haye raced birds In the United King- dom but have no records on this alde of the Atlantic. Production of newspaper clippings on con- tests and flights helps solve the problem. NEXT!

And he lighted certain placem=and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of tho stones "of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down In that place to sleep." Meditating much and praying much, Jacob had on this Journey drawn near to God, and is at last accepted. The Interest in Jacob's life lles in the gradual fmprovement and progress of his "character. Jacob's Dream 12. "And he dreamed; and, be- hold, a ladder sot up on the earth, and the top of It reached to heav- en; and, hehold, the angels of Qod ascending and descending on it. 13. And, behold, Johovah stood above It, and said, I-am Jchovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whercon thou Hest, to thee will 1 thy eced shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt: spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the "gouth: and In thee and in thy earth be blessed. 15. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee bring theo agaln into this land; for 1 will not leave thee, until I en to thee of." up to heaven. It tells him that engers of Elohim and descending,' of thelr thelr faith and hope and trust; and bringing down to them help and comfort and blessing. At the 'head of the ladder Jehovah him- self stands, The word is that used in chap. 24:13, and signifies that the Deity was not there accident- ally, but that He holds there His permanent "station. Finally, Je- hovah from His heavenly past confirms to Jacob all the prom. Ises made from the time when Abraham left Ur of the Chaldees, and assures him of His constant presence and protection, i Jacob's Awakening 16. "And Jacob awaked out of "his sleep, and he said, Surely Je- hovah is In this place; and I know sald, How dreadful is this place! this is none-other-than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven," Jacob did not say God came to me in the night, God has visited mo, God was here yester- night and now has gone, He did not awake to. the consclousness of a visit; He awoke to the con- sclousness of a presence.

And he was afraid; and. thing that he found out that night the sanctuary; but He Is near us tha gleaming of the glory of Hla . faco at the holy shrine; but le 1s surely with us In the den of wick- edness. Not alone In tho sanctuary, but where the multitudes gather in deflance of His law; Ie is there. This 18 the truth to which Jacob ; awoke. - 18. "And Jacob rose up éarly in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under hls head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oll upon the top of it. 19, And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first. 20. And Jacob vowed a vow, say- ing, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 21. so that I come again to my father's house "In peace, and Jehovah will-be my God, -22. then this stones, which I have set for a pillar, shall he God's house: and of all that thou ~ shalt give me 1 will surely give the tenth unto thee." Jacob's response to this Divine revelation shows that, in spite Qf everything, he had that in his soul which reach- ed out towards the Divine will, however unworthy and wrong were tho methods that he used. It Is a great thing that Jacob real- izes his need of God and that he makes this resolution, under what- ever condition, acknowledging God #8 his God and pledging himselt to God's service, Ten 1s the whole: a tenth is a share of the whole, The Lord re- celves one share as an ack- nowledgment of his sovereign right .to all. Here It is represented as the full share of the king who dwells with his subjects, Thus Jacob opens his heart, his home and his treasure to God. These are the simple" elements of the true religion, The spirit of pow- er ,and of love, and of a sound mind, his begun to reign in Jacob. Churchill Preparing Acgount Of War Prémier Churchill is reported to' be preparing his own account of the war, to be published when victory is wen.

The Unexpected Several years ago, says the Christian Science Monitor, two prosperous New York business. men were taking in the sights of London. As sometimes happened with that type of visitor, they found much to criticize by com parison with things they had seen in America. Their disdain reached its height before the plain, unpretentious exterior of the Prime Minister's residence on" Downing street, "What a home for a Prime Minister!" one of them exclaimed. "Yes, and look at that car!" said the other. . : In front of the residence stood a small runabout, "Why, in New York, a grocery clerk' would be ashamed of own- ing nothing better," the other added. : Just then a well-dressed man came out, got in-the car and drove off, . 2 "Who was that?" the visitors asked a near-by. policeman, Mr. A.
