CHRONICLES | oy 1 : 4 Gwendoline P. Clarke 0 C . ss Ce . . Well, here we are again--back to ordinary everyday life after a: busy week-end with visitors from the city staying here--that is, a. long week-end, from eayly Satur- day to Monday afternoon, And you know how it is, don't you? You scurry around -with the idea of getting as much of your work done as you can while your visitors are 'sleeping and' then. before you are properly through, one or more of' them 'conies to life and' you set: about getting a 'belated : breakfast, And then you naturally like to- visit for awhile--but oh dear, when you 'do that the time just slips along until first thing you know it is nearly time: for' dinner and you haven't got the last of the break- fast-dishes out of the way. But" late at night--that's when things really. get under way. The men start talking pons or discussing the war, and events, past, pre- sent and' future. The womenfolk add their small' contribution-- whether it is appreciated or not is beside: the: point. Eventually some- one says something about it get: ting: late! but. somebody else sug- gests. another angle to the subject under discussion and away you go again for another hour. Finally a cup of cocoa and a bite to eat rounds out the evening and at long last each person ambles off to his or her bed. The visitors we hope, to sound, carefree slumber, while Partner and I lay our heads on our respective pillows conscious . that sitting up to the wee sma' hours isn't so good for a working man and his wife. Comes the morn- ing and we are more than ever convinced that a hang-over from" fate hours and: toe. much talking jsn't the best thing with which to start another New day. But. there are cows to milk, stables to clean; hens to care for and. eggs to gather, and as the day progresses the feeling of . fa- tigue gradually | wears itself off. You make up your mind you must really: see about getting 'to bed in good time tonight. Then comes after supper and the talkfest be- gins again. First thing you khow ° "jt" is' midnight '~~ and! the secofid: morning is a repetition of the first. Finally you quite, regretfully bid RESIGNED. goodbye to your friends. You no- tice they look more rested and re- .freshed than when: they came. And then you settle down to your work and to catch up on your arrears of sleep how and when you can, : * * * One of our visitors was a man iwho had. never. stayed on a farm : before.- We: found: his comments 1 very amusing. He couldn't think what Partner did "outside all the time. He knew that cows were milked night and morning and that "a farmer had some work to do "which he referred to as "chores" 'but he thought any farmer was 'through by noon and that winter was really a slack time. "I'm com- ing down to the barn to see where you find "all this work," he said. Well, he went to the barn--but it 'was after. the stables had been i cleaned 'and the cattle: watered: and 'bedding put down. On his return 'I asked him if he had really been , to the barn, "Yes," he answered, "and I still can't see where all the work comes in." Partner laughed. "Come down a little earlier «to- "morrow, fellow, and you will soon find out!" . 0» Another of our: visitors was "hardly a "visitor'--since she was our own daughter=--home to cele- ' brate her birthday. One of the first things I asked her was how long she could stay. "Sunday night-- quarter to ten train," was the ans- wer, Came nine o'clock Sunday night and I suggested to Daugh- ter that she get her things togeth- er. She did so--very leisurely. And at that time I began to have an un- easy feeling about the time of the "train; I looked up the paper. Nine twenty-two! "Hurry" 1 said. to Daughter. But instead of hurrying she had to see the paper for her- self as she wouldn't he convinced 'she was wrong. "Don't stand there talking about it," I urged. "The train may be late and we may catch it after all" So I left her to collect her. belongings while I.- ran for the car, They told me I I took the corner on two wheels-- 'which: 1 don't' believe. However; whether on two wheels or four, we got to the station just as the train was pulling out. I imagined the car was as much out of breath as '1 was so we ambled home at a leisurely twenty-five. Daughter "went on the two-fifteen this after- noon. \ Get More: Bacon By Petting Pigs A ~ Make pets of your pigs--and * they'll. produce more bacon fon you, this was the. advice given by "Alfred Hales of Guelph at a 4 Shelbourne agricultural meeting. « According to Hales, a sow will have larger litters and take care : of her pigs better if she is con. tented and happy.

Garden Worm Said j To Be Intelligent: I have just tome 'in from. the garden filled with a profound re- spect for the common sense of the worm, says a writer in The Leeds Yorkshire Post. On the" edge of the pansy bed I found several old lilac leaves stand- ing straight upright in the soil, their leaf-stalk ends uppermost. Nothing astonishing in that? I agree; worms commonly plug the mouths of their burrows with dead leaves. But not this striking fact --in every instance the worm had drawn its leaf into the mouth of the burrow by its tapered (ip, which was the obviously sensible. thing. todo. I should hardly have dared to read evidence of intelligence into "this if I had not the authority of Darwin himself on the matter. He noticed the same thing in his gar- den, made many experiments with wedge-shaped bits of paper and leaves.

All the rest of the material assigned to our lesson falls in that period of His life which was spent in Peraea. Greatness In Men "And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, what were ye rea- soning on the way? But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the greatest and he sat down and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, Ii any man wonld be figst, he' shall -he last of all, and servant of all." They were ashamed to tell the Lord the subject of their disput- ation--who should be chief min- ister. In the presence of Jesus we are all put to silence when we habe been proud, - ambitious, full of controversial spirit. The thought of the love and humility of our Saviour shames us into ~ silence. What is meant by being great? Jesus answered that greatness lies in character, in service--to love and serve all for Christ's sake. In The Name Of Christ "And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and faking him in his arms, he saith unto them, whosoever shall re- ceive one of such little children in my name, recciveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, recciveth not me, but him that sent me."

Radio is a very weird business for the people that are in it. There is an old saying that in radio if you don't find: a crisis on your desk in the morning, you have to start: looking for it before noon. It's. a business in which strange things happen. Take the case of Bert Morrison, star of the veteran spine-chiller "The Shadow", heard Tuesday. nights 8.30-9.00 over CKCL, Toronto... Morrison read a recent news despatch stating that posters have been appearing over- night in Berlin, on the ruins of bombed buildings, walls, pillars -and on newspaper front pages, These posters show The Shadow a man in a slouch hat with big "question mark, which is the Sha- dow's trade mark. No explanation was given but Aftonbladet's Berlin correspondent suggested it was the opening shot in an anti-spy cam- paign. Morrison is now wondering whether the Gestapo is after the Shadow, or the Shadow after the Gestapo. : . . . Radio can bring the people not only the music they know and love, but also the new vital musical creations of contemporary compos- ers whatever their nationality, says Dr. Frank Black, guest conductor of the Cleveland Symphony Or- chestra heard Sundays 9.00-10.00 P.M. EWT,, over the Mutual Net- work and CK(L, Toronto. Dr. Black says "I believe that the most vital music production today is and Russia, There is a reason for this, - Both groups write with an audience in mind because they know that the peopla are the final judges of their music." - - * - Radio's people are all heading towards the Chateau-Frontenac in Quebec for the middle part of this month; when all the radio stations from coast to coast gather at the Annual Convention of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters. Ra- dio, with the terrific job it has done of assisting in the war effort, is continually meeting new war- time problems and the get-togeth- er on the "Plains of Abraham" is to solve some of its new prob- lems, to receive information from heads of. governmental depart- ments as to how radio can best cooperate with the war effort and to plan for the forthcoming year. The results of the decisions arriv- ed at in the Quebec meetings will have a large effect on Radio in 1944. You can rest assured how- ever, that whatever decisions are arrived at, radio's people fighting on. the home front will continue "their outstanding contribution to ! your entertainment and information 'as well'as to our war: effort, of > small account in the eyes of men. We learn that the will of him who receives Christ is in harmony with To see Christ is, to see the Father.

Christ's words condemn all who are actuated by party-spirit, envy, In verse healer and these children required him in neither capacity, But Jesus is more than that, He is essentially the Blesser, whatever form the blessing may takes - The Childlike Spirit "But when Jesus saw it, , , . . he shall in no wise enter therein." Our Saviour is referring to the spirit of a little child, the spirit of h mility, the spint which was nis- sing in his disciples. Every gentle modest child is lowly in thought, ready to be taught. Unless we are humble and receptive like a child we cannot enter the Kingdom. "And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying hands upon them." The true disciple must welcome children, serve them, inferiors in subjection and demane -»-v=»» ded obedience from them on the ground of their superior rank and power. Greatness in the Kingdom of God consists not in arbitrary rule, but involuntary service, It is the christian who is ready to stoop to serve the lowest of God's children who is the greatest in God's sight. Chirst's Life a Ransom "For the son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." The purpose of our Lord's advent was to minister, All His past ministry was but a leading up to the supreme service He was to render to mankind, and for which He came into the world must themselves on. one side or There is no neutral ground Christ regarded this man as being regard as fellow laborers all men who are doing Christ's work in a spirit of love and not of enmity, although they have different modes of working. - Disciples Rebuke Christ "And they were bringing unto touch them: and the disciples re- buked them."
