PRINTED, TEXT, Exodus 5:22, © 23; 6:1-7; 12:51 GOLDEN TEXT.--Call ypon me in the day of .trouble: 1 will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psalm 50:15. "" Memory Verse; Thou art nigh, O Jehovah. Psalm 149:151, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--1445 B.C. ' Plac:--The Passover feast it- self was observed only in the Iand of Goshen where the Jews were then living, but the plagues recorded here, of course, occur- red throughout the whole land of Egypt, and the conversations that are recorded here 'probably took place in the city of Zoan, known also as Tanis, where was located Pharaoh's palace. Moses' Prayer "And' Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, where- fore hast Thou dealt ill with this people? Why is it that Thou - hast sent me? For since I came \to Pharaoh to speak.in Thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast Thou delivered Thy people at all," Moses was discour- aged with the want of immediate success, which led him into a bold . complaint against God; first for sending him; and then for fail: ing, as it seemed to him, to keep - His word in the deliverance of the people. Jesus knows our weak- < nesses and is ready to help. He knows what it is to have suf- fered and wept over a stiff- necked people -- He knows how to be touched with this feeling of our infirmity, . God Reassures Moses "And Jchovah said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaol® for by na. strong hand shall he.let they go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of the land. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah: and I ap- peared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by My name Jecho- vah I was not known to them." Tho direction which Moses now received from God- conveyed a fresh assurance that God would certainly atcomplish His purpose; it gave a fuller revelation of His character as Jehovah, with the special promises which this im- plied (6:2-8).; and it renewed the commission to Moses to undertake the work, accompanied by encouragement and assur- ance, In His relationship to man, God manifested Himself, and He was known as Jehovah--as "He Who is that He is," in other words, as unchangeable, when after cenutries of silence and after the condition of Israel in. Egypt had become almost hope- 'less, He showed that He had not forgotten His promise given to the fathers; that He had all along been preparing its fulfillment; and that neither the resistance of Pharaoh, nor the might of Egypt, could' stay His hand. } "The Seal of God * < "And I have also established THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson @ CAT EATS A RABBI THE SKIN. 16 LEPT' LYE ANSWER: A gunny sack. = ' % WEXT: Painting on cobwebs. | RADIO REPORTER ror It has always been said in radio circles that about the quickest * way to find out whether a pro- gram has an extensive listening audience or not, is to make a very obvious mistake . . . have the 'announcer give the wrong time + « « describe Winston Churchill as the Prime Minister of Czecho- slovakia . . . make a jibing re- mark about some particular politi- cal party, or religious sect .. .. or soraething 1'ke thar.

You've probably beard the show, a quiz affair, in which the studio and .ir audiences compete for valuable cash prizes. The question was "With what ani. mal was the Scottish writer Rob- ert Burns associated? . .. and the answer acknowledged correct by the maste: of ceremonies was "a spider." .Shades of Scottish his- tory! It only took a few seconds before the telephones began ring- ing at CFRB, and irate Scotsmen in rapid succession pointed out that it was Robert Bruce and not Robert Burns who gained inspire ation from watching a spider. While we're on a sabject sug- gested by quiz shows, it 'seems appropriate to mention that there have been fewer summertime casvalties among" them than anong any tha: types of radio entertainment. For instance, all the popular quiz shows on CIRB are carrying right through the ~ warm weather, including "Spin to Win," "Treasure Trail," "Super my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned, And moreover I have heard the groaning of the chil- dren of Israel, whom the Egyp- tians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant, Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I wlil redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments: and. I will take you unto me for a people, and 1 will be to you a God; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians." This is henceforth to be the word of encouragement, of au- thority, and of "fellowship ". to Israel.

The CBC and privately owned stations who have been working together in the national agricultural interests appear to have done quite an effective job. Girls from the city have flocked to the farms right after school closing, to lend a hand during the summer months, Farms say they can use them all and more, The respense - from 'teen age boys, however, has not been as good as the farmers hoped for. There is still plenty of opportunity where- by young 'lads can offer their services during the harvesting season. How about it, boys?

Now don't think this column is just another story, because it- isn't. It is real--written by an honest-to-goodness farmer's wife who knows, and has experienced, the same problems, the same hardships, and the same joys that have come to you, day after day and year after year. You may think T am a stranger to you--perhaps I am--but I hope I won't be a stringer very long. However," let me tell you this: YOU are not a stranger to te. No, for if you have lived all your married life on a farm, then I know you. If you have sometime lived in a small town or city, 1 know you. If the Old. Country gave you birth and your heart just aches over the devastation of well-loved places, then I know you very well indeed. Or if you come from the praivie, I, too, know something of the heartache -that grips you when you think of the vastness that you knew; of that intangible something that you cannot describe but which you know to be the soul of the West. or If you have a son, a husband, or brother in the Army, Navy or Air Force, I know only too well the anxiety that is yours, [ know how you practically live from one mail time to another, and how long the day when the expected letter docsn't arrive.
