High School Boys Needed On Farms Thousands of Ontario Farmers Need Extra Help For The " Summer Season 3 Thousands of high school and collegiaté institute boys are ur- gently needed for Summer vaca- tion work on the farms 6f Ontario, according 8 .an appeal by Alex Maclaren, director of thie Ontario Farm Service Force, who is deep- ly concerned: over the shortage of farin help to take care 'of the | bumper crops expected in 1944, Applications have been received from thousands of farmers for boys to assist in their work dur- ing 'the busy Summer season, the number being far beyond all pre- vious records, boys working on their neighbors' farms last year now want boys to assist them, so well did the boys do their work last Summer. First Call For Help The first call for help is boys to fill the Farm Service Force Camps. One of these, with 70 boys enrolled, is already in operation at Burlington and an- other last week opened in Leam- ington. Other boys' farm ser- vice camps will be opened in May and June in Harrow, Blenheim and Holland Marsh, and several hundred boys are wanted - for these, Opportunity For Boys The great demand, however, is for boys to work on 'individual farms "throughout the province. These farms are carefully checked as to living and working condi- tions by the field placement offi- cer of the Farm Service Force, to ensure! that boys going to them will "have the best of treatment, are being of- these farmers Excellent wages fered to boys by and this affords an rendering an essential national service in the production of .food and at the same time saving a substantial amount" of money dur- ing the season. .

PRINTED TEXT, Acts 19: 8-10; Eph, 2:4:10, 8:14-19, GOLDEN TEXT--We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10, Memory Verse: He hath -made everything beautiful in its time. Lec- clesiastes 3:11, ' THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The visit of Paul to Ath- ens described in Acts 19 took place about "A.D. 53 or 34. The Epistle which he wrote to the church at Ephesus was written about ten years later, Place.--Paul wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians from his impris- onment at Rome, Ephesus being the great cities of what was then called Asia, now known as Asia Minor. Labor In Ephesus "And he entered into the syna- gogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading as to the things concerning the kingdom of God." The subject of Paul's. preaching was all that related to the kingdom of God, the new: dispensation, the doctriwe and church of Christ. By 'persuading' is meant 'endeavoring to convince. Summary of Work "But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. The final manifestation of the hardened heart is to speak evil of the Christian faith, For three "months Paul confinued his exhor- tations to stoney-hearted hearers, but when their obstinacy turned to hostility, he left them. Paul sep- arated his disciples, for there could be no fellowship between believers and unbelievers and continued reas. oning daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus, All Heard The Word "And this continued for the space, of two years; so that all they that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks." The result of this prolonged labor was that all who inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, Paul is at the height of his great miss- onary activity. "But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us." In the previous verses Paul has described the dark and hopeless state of the Gentiles-- 'dead in trespasses and sins', the children of 'disobedience and of wrath'. What a contrast is intro- duced by the little word 'but', Darkness gives way to light, des- pair to hope, wrath to mercy. Sin- ners though we were by nature and practice, God loved us, Saved By Grace . "Even when we were dead through our trespasses, made aus alive togetheg with Christ (by grace have ye been saved." God in his grace has quickened, has saved those who have truly believed, "And raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus." The true Christian as a member of Christ's mystical body, though toiling and suffering on earth in the body, is, in the life of Spirit with Christ in Heaven. "That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Throughout eternity we shall ever be making new dis- coveries of God's love and grace, The Gift of God "For by grace 'have ,ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory." Paul states clearly and con- sistently that by works no man can be sdved, therefore, since salvation cannot 'be of merit it must be" of grace, it must be a salvation which God in mercy provides, Daily Obedience 'For we are his workmanship, creatéd in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them." Our life is to consist not in the occas- ional doing of a good work 'here Garden Notes GARDEN PESTS Beginners are inclined to worry too much about insect and other garden pests, experienced garden- ers believe, True, there is almost one special insect for every plant that grows in Canada, As a rule, however, if we keep our garden growing and healthy through reg- ular cultivation, in many cases the plants will owgrow: most of the damage. But some dusting or spray- ing is advisable to ward off heavy attacks. Usually "we can purchase ready-mixed materials, The import ant thing is to get these applied just as spon as damage or pests first appear. ON GUARD The small garden, both flower and vegetable, but more especially the latter, is very subject to pest damage. Sparrows may pounce on the lettuce, cut worms girdle the tomatoes, grubs attack the carrots or beets, One must be on ? guard continuously because if we are not ready to go 3 into action the in stant the attack oc- curs, it will be too late, Indeed with certain pests like sparrows, starlings and cit worms it is best to be pre: pared in advance. Often a scarecrow or a few bits of fluttering rags, or a little brush spread over garden or lawn will' scare away birds. In some cases lettuce and such tempting lines are 'grown under a wire netting, which -i8- removable for cultivation. ) Paper collars arqund 'the: stems of tomatoes and cabbige just above and below the surface of the soil will protect against cut worms, but a poison mixture secured from any sced store is better. Special dusts can also be purchased for protect- ing cabbage, celery, cucumbers and melons, "a A good general guard against pests is cuftivation. Cut worms and many other grubs don't like to be stirred up. : « z --a and there, but is fo be a course of daily - obedience. Prayer For Power "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God." . Paul prays that believers may be strengthened- in the inner man--in heart, mind, and soul. The idea is that spiritual firmness and vigor may be given, that we may with- stand all evil, bear trials cheerfully, As the body needs to be strength- ened every day with nourishing food, so the soul nceds to be strengthened by supplies of Divine grace. This strength is given to us through the Holy Spirit who dwells within us and is to us as Christ Himself. Paul's prayer is that his conVerts may be 'filled' with all moral and spiritual quali- ties which God designs His people to. possess. He desires that we may be full of His love, joy, grace, wis- dom, power and glory, China has 5,000,000 armed <ol- diers, including 800,000 guerillas and 600,000 regular troops, operat- ing .in supposedly enemy occupied territories.

Ll] LJ LJ Discouragement over our present unsettled weather led me to look up last year's seeding dites and | find we sowed our first spring grain on June 12. This is May 15, and we have one field sown and about two acres in another field so I guess there is still hope -- ex- cept that it is raining again! It is too bad the weather docen't stay fine long enough for the farmers to finish seceding because the men say the land is in ideal condition and_any- grain that has been--sown is growing splendidly. It is difii- cult for farmers to know row to work to the best advantage. In some cases where neighbours have agreed to work together one man has his seeding done while the other hasn't started. That is likely to happen any time and the one who is left has to be a pretty good sport to take it. Co-operative farming is a-fine thing in principle but. if the weatherman doesa't co-operate too there is just a chance the scheme may create a little bad feeling. It just depends on what plans have been made beforehand and willing each man is to take chances -- and accept the result! - » * - how The country is really lovely theee days.

Well, perhaps not, because what IT might say wouldn't be fit for publication anyway, You see my chickens are now seven wecks old and high time they were roosting. To encourage them I took away their first low roosts al replaced them with the proper ones, slanting them in the approved fashion and placing wire-netting underneath to force the chickens to perch on the roosts jnstead of - going into a huddle on the floor. When at was nearly bedtime for the chicks I went out togsee what. they were doing. I was very well satisfied because about half 7 of them were roosting and I "thought that was pretty good {or a start.
