Siarks By Another busy week has passed climaxed with a carload of city "visitors for Sunday dinner. Daugh- ~~ ter was out with some friends, one of whom works at the same muni- tion plant as Daughter and we rather felt that it is the opinion of her Aglends that ,we, her par- ents, do Tot realise how great a - responsibility our daughter shoul- ders in the position that she oc- cupies, nor how hard she works. 3 Well, we do know that Daughter : works long hours, that. she seems older than her years and .that the nervous strain sometimes gets her down, but it is impossible for us "who have no knowledge of the work to realise the extent of her responsibility. In fact Partner and I can hardly believe, even yet, that we have a grown-up family, But *. we undoubtedly have just that! - Here is Daughter, half her moth- er's age, and yet with knowledge and 'experience along certain lines that I never had nor am I 'likely = to have, And our son--well he {is _ Just the same as his Dad was 1 = twenty-five years ago--Corporal ; Clarke, of his Majesty's Canadian } Army, except that his Dad was {n hospital while Bob, I am glad to say, Is still. hale and hearty.

No doubt his time will come--perhaps much sooner than we expect. . * * It is nice to have visitors who live a different sort of life from our own because from them we the world gets along. Perhaps they, in turn, learn something from us, For instance yesterday we nat- urally got on to the. subject of the supposedly high wages paid to munition workers and we are told that a single man earning $41 a week, actually finds in his pay en- velope, after income tax, {nsur- ance, and compulsory savings have been deducted, the princely sum of $24. When you consider Ahat out of that" $24 a young man probably has his board and lodging to pay, transportation charges, laundry, clothing, and other personal ex- penses, then he certainly wouldn't have very much left from his cheque, would he? . * * Compare a munition worker with a farm hand earning from ten to fifteen dollars a week. There are no deductions from the farm hand's pay envelope, his hoard and lodg- + ing is free, his washing is probably done by the farmer's wife and since he is right on the spot, there are no transportation . charges. Yes, it he be so inclined a farm hand can really save money. In fact, I know one young fellow who So It can be done. . . . We also learned something about coal yesterday--and why we got on to the subject of coal was only too obvious. Really, I don't know what this place will be like it we burn soft coal all winter, As one person put ft--"the soot Is Just like snow only that ft comes down black." If the soot were only outside I wouldn't mind but f{t leaks through the joints of the stoveplipes and the smoke rises in. to the room every time we make the fire up until every place {is black.

The development is being en- couraged by wmple stores of feed grains available in the West in recent years and improved prices for dairy products, Although the eastern provinces have been the main producers of cheese, butter and other dairy products, the June statistics show- ed that of thc 3,794,700 dairy cows in Carada, 1,248,400 were located on the praivies. On the basis of most recent reports from dairy correspond ents nad observers, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics said far- flung military and construction operations in the region have caused an unprecedented demdnd for fluid milk in Alberta, Old Silver Pennies Found In Ireland News comes from Ireland of the finding in- County Clare of a hoard of about 1,000 silver pennies dating between 1150~and 1250. Some are described as bearing King John's head and some the head of John de Cour- cey, Prince of Ulster. Silver pennies are rarely found now- adays and these probably were minted in Dublin, _ They date back to the days when there were Kings of Kent in the eighth century. On the obverse was usually a cross, and .the coins often" were cut into halves and quarters along the lires of the cross, to act as small change.

The discourses in John were ut. tered two days later, Thusisy, April 6. Place--All the words of our Lord recorded in this lesson were spok- tn In Jerusalem, The First Command "And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning to- gether, and knaqwing that he had answered them Well, sked him, What commandment Is (he 'first ot all? Jesus answered, The first is, Héar, O Israel; tHe Lord 'our God, the Lord Is one: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy sou}, and with all thy mind and with all thy strength." Our Saviour quotes the Iintro- duction to the Ten Command ments (Deu. 6:4, 6) as the first command, not as forming one of the commandments, but as con- taining the principle of all. All true obedience depends on the correct "knowledge of God. None can keep this commandments who is ignorant of His nature and His perfections. Thus o%r Lord begins with the doctrine of the unity of God. We are to love God supreme- ly, more than gll other beings and things, and with all the ardor pos- sible. Fm The Second Command "The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." The love of God includes fn itself all other bor has over against it a love of self. This self-love monopolizes the man and the command 1s to subordinate it to the love of God, and to co-ordinate it with the love of man. ~~ "The Scribe's Reply "And the scribe sald unto him, Ot a truth, Teacher, thou hast well sald that he is one; and there is none other but he: and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, .and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, {3 much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices." °° This reply shows that the scribe was not without spiritual insight. He saw that true love and obed- fence were far more important than ceremonialism, Jesus' Answer "And when Jesus saw that he HITCHCYCLER ON THE NAPLES ROAD The National Safety Council wouldn't like it, but an alia cyclist imitates a common Canadian expedient, hitching nonchalantly onto the back of a war-bound British 26-pounder near Naples. answered discreetly, he sald unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question The deep Insight which the scribe had shown revealed he wanted but little to make him a disciple, But © it 1s not sufficient to be on the borderland of" discipleship; -we must leave the world with its pleasures and sins and step right over the border and Into the King- dom, The New Commandment "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another. Even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." The measure of Christ's love to us is . to be the measure of our love to one another. "By this shall all men know that ye are my. disciples, It ye have love one to another." When the world sees believers loving one another and living In harmony, ft knows then that they arecthe fol lowers of Christ. Jesus' Promise "It yo keep my conphandments, ye shall abide 'in my love; even as I have kept my Father's com. mandments, and abide In his love." Obedience is the condition of abid- ing in the Saviour's love. We can- not live In the enjoyment of His "love if we do things contrary to His will, "These things have I spoken un- to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full." Jesus desired that their joy might be perfected through thelr steadfast loves and obedience. The Command Repeated "Ye are my friends it ye do the things which T command you." The greatest of all privileges is to be known as the friend of Christ but this privilege is only granted to those who are obedient to God's commandment, "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." Our love to one an. other should show fitself in the common ways of life--in- acts of love and kindness. A deep realiz- ation of our Saviour's love inspires us to show love to all men. Supreme Love "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." The love of Christ surpasses all earthly love; for He died not only for his friends but for lis enemjes: not only for the good, but for sinners. The Book Shelf "UNDER A LUCKY STAR By Roy Chapman Andrews Dr. Andrews jolned the staff of the American Museum of Natural History in 1906 and he retired from that institution in 1941. His first Job was to sweep the floor of one of the laboratories, his last job was Director of the Museum; and his life in between was devoted almost entirely to building the" Museur: into its present position of world eniinence. Prior to the famous Asiatic ex- peditions, Dr. Andrews traveled all over the world, mostly collecting scientific information on the whale, The animal had been known for centuries and hunted for gen. erations but it had never been studied systematically, and his re- search provided the basic data on the subject. The expeditions into unexplored Asia occupied In all a period of more than ten years (1916-1928). In scope (practically every natural science was advanced by the An- drews expeditions), in number of personnel and amount of equlp- ment, in new discoveries and mu- seum specimens, the Asia project is unequalled in the history of scientific exploration. From ft stems the author's great post-war ambition--to found an internation. al organization for the exploration of the still largely untouched hin- terland-of Asia. Under A Lucky Star...
