{ Ay e . 1 The Arab Strain" In Saddle Horses By Claris« Allan In The Saskatchewan Farmer Almost all the finest saddle horses in the world can be traced "back to a cross wilt the Arabian breed. This is true of the Orloff of Russia, the hackney and thor- oughbred of KEngland, and the of the United States. To infusions of Arab blood these breeds owe "many of their outstanding qual fos. ' The Arablan possesses physical characteristics not found in other breeds. The most notable of these are the beautiful heads and the naturally high carriage of the tail, Owing to a large brain case and a slender muzzle, the head is of a "triangular shape, with concave curves on the sides, which are especially noticeable under the widely-spaced eyes. The expansive nostrils and broad jaws provide generous room for the windpipe. The fac that the Arablan has a level croup and possesses two less vertebrae in his tail than other breeds, may account for the dfs- tinguished tail carriage. The back of the Arabian is short and his closely-coupled body en. ables him to carry heavy weights. His slender legs contain bones of great strength and density, and his muscular developmnet fs! un- surpassed, weight-for-weight, by any breed. The color of his coat 1s usually gray, chestnut, bay or brown, and he stands from 14 to 15% hands in height. He is par- ticularly noted for 'docility and endurance, * * There 1s little except in size in which the Arabian does not take leading honors. They have fre- quently won endurance races while carrying one-third: their own welght in the saddle. While not so fast as. larger horses for sprinting, they will usually outrun horses of other breeds it the distance fs great and the going tough. Almost unbelievable tales are told of the -Arabian's stamina--on - the road 48 hours without water-- a record run of 48 miles aliay continuously for more than _fhreo months, An instance is known In - which an Arabian ran 522 miles in six days, rested three days, made the same distance again in fivo days . . . rested nine days, and repeated the run for a third time in seven days. * . . That authentic strains of pure Arab blood have been preserved 18 due largely to the efforts of the Royal Agricultural Soclety of Egypt, the Arab Horse Society in England, the Kellogg Institute and the Arab Horse Soclety of United States. The development of the Ara- blan breed commenced on thls continent a number of years ago when W. H. Kellogg gathered to- gether choice - specimens from various parts of the world and established his famous Pomona 'Ranch. In 1932 this.ranch was presented by him to the Depart- * ment of Animal Husbandry of the University of California with a large endowment. With the or- ganization of the American Ara- blan Horse Society many admirers of the breed established studs, ~ with the result that there are now 1,400 registered purebred Arabians on this continent, and the demand is increasing rapidly. Bombings Affect German Morale Older People In Berlin Suffer , Wave of War Weariness Berlin today is a clty of mingled depression and determination, fs the report of the most recent ar- rivals from the German capital, 'For the first time the average Berliner and his wife' have begun to realize what they may be forced to suffer 'in coming months, and this, - coupled with the adverse news' from the eastern front, has caused a genuine wave of war weariness among the elder genef- ation, However, the breach between the old and the young Is now reported wider than ever--while' oldér peo- ple are becoming increasingly real: Jstic about the chances of German victory, the young are steadily more fanatical in thejr detarmina- tion and devotion to the German cause, : All the evidence from the Ger- man capital tends to show that ft is folly to expect any imminent rious crack in morale before next winter, : Travelers who were fin Berlin during the, R.A.F, hombardments Jast month also report the changed attitude of the civilian population toward bombing, 5 Whereas formerly the British did no serlous material or moral damage, recent raids not only caused material havoc, but also soriously affected civilian morale among. a population hitherto with- out experience in the latest Heavy bombs, Morgan and American saddle horse - Going places--That is, if this ancient Chinese wheelbarrow holds together.

Mark 1:17. Memory Verse: Let us love one another. I John 4:7, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The events described in the passage taken from John oc- 'curred in February, A.D. 27; the call 'of the four disciples, record- ed by Mark, occurred in April, A.D, 28, ' Place.--The testimony of John the Baptist and the first call of the three disciples probably took place near Bethany, beyond Jor- dan; the latter call of the four disciples took place at the sea of 'Galilee, near Capernaum, The Lamb of God "On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto. him, and saith, Be- hold, the Lamb of God, that tak- eth away the sin of the world!' Christ is everywhere in the New Testament recognized-not only as the Creator of the world, but the eaviour of the world. He it is who will draw all men unto Him- self. ' , "This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before .me: for he was before me." Undoubtedly John means by these words that Christ first, in point of time, existed be- fore John the Bantist; 'that he was, In other words, none other than the Eternal Son of God. Christ Identified "And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I bap- tizing in water. And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him." This whole incident is very parallel to the transfiguration. In both, Christ is* miraculously glori- fied previous to setting out to suffer; in both a voice from heaven, bears witness to: Him. Christ's Mission -- "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, upon whomso< ever thou shalt see the spirit des- cending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God," John desig- nates Christ as being lifted up above all other beings who had ever appeared on earth--whether nen or angels. "Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his dis- elples; and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God! And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus." The word 'follow' expresses the single act as their choice was made defin- itely for all time. . We Seek God "And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, what seek ye?" Christ will turn from none who in response to his question 'What acek ye,' ean truly say 'Weé seek God.' "And they said unto him, Rabbi "(which is to say, being interpret- ed, Teacher) where abidest thou? He eaith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abodes and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour." In 'come and see" there is a distinct call to the personal act of faith, Com- ing to Christ is trusting Him and trusting Him is seeing Him, look- ing up to Him, Peter's Character "One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrey, Simon Peter's brother. He findeth first his own brother. Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ). He brought him unto Jesus, Jesus looked upon him and said; "Thou art Simon the son of John? Thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter)." The word Cephas means stone. The root of Peter's charac- ter was firmness, which, however, needed to be chastened before Simon could be the man of rock, He did not always show this firm- ness, but Jesus holds up to him his ideal that he may ever aspire to it and believe in himself be- cause Christ believes in him. Fishers of Men "And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and An- drew the brother of Simon cast- ing a net in the sea; for they, were fishers. And Jesus said unto will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they left the nets, and followed him, And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were In the boat mending their nets. And straightway he called them: and they left their father them, Come ye after me, and I' Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and went after them." . . How shall we become 'fishers of men'? Not by our own clever- ness or skill. If we want to be successful fishers of men, we must go to Jesus Christ for the necessary qualifications. Tho question is often asked why Christ, for the most part, chose fishermen, and not men in political power, or. great scholars. "For one thing these men were not bound by the traditions of Judaea, and the Pharisees who dominated there; for another thing, they were men of robust health and rugged nature, who would be able to endure the gréat- est hardships in their preaching ministry, Moreover, there must have been about these men a cer- tain simplicity which would not only commend them to the Lord, but mark them as excellent channels for the outpouring of God's grace upon the Roman world; men who, once coming to a conviction, would be willing to endure everything to maintain it. Christ, both in His own life and in His teachings, seemed to have the greatest appreciation of the dJig- nity of manual labor.

Bingay, In The Detroit Free Press The word "Empire" is the stumbling block for many who do not understand. There is noth- ing imperialistic about Canada or Australia or New Zealand or South Africa; or, for that matter, the United Kingdom in these days. The people of the British Com-- monwealth have worked out their own family destiny. They do not want the United States as part of their family any more than we want them. That does not mean that we shall not continue as good neighbors and staunch friends in a co-operative movement to restore world sanity. = Sense of Unity As that great Canadian, Ste- phen Leacock, said at the begin ning of the war: "The British Empire was never so closely bound together as now, never so far from thoughts of dissolution or secession and is moving in its own peculiar path, into a closer, more organic union. , , .

Officl- ally, spring is here, believe it or not. Cheer up, it won't be long now before you can get busy with rake, hoe and spade. In order to assist in solving food shortage problems this year, government authorities are urging the devel- opment of home, community vege- table plots as a contribution toe the war effort. If Canadians want to have their full quota of lettuce and other pood garden greens, they will have to grow a few things on the side for their own needs. To encourage the grow- ing of home vegetables, the C.B.C, has just initiated a series of Gar- den Talks addressed especially to its women listeners, The speaker for the series is Fustelle Burke Langdon, well known commenta- tor, amateur gardener and long familiar to radio listeners as the "Herb Lady." Her talks will deal with practical garden problems and will be supplemented by the release of a 16-page' booklet "Vitamin Gardening for Victory," to be made available to listeners, upon request.
