'Atomic bombs used on Japan?' That is what he said, and when we heard of the devastation wrought by that small, but mighty, bomb we could hardly believe our ears. But that is week-old news now and the world is just recovering from the jolt it re- ceived when the use of atomic energy was announced, Yes, we are recover- ing from one jolt, but the "atom" is going to give us many more jolts in the next twenty-five or fifty years. Already it has had a telling effect up- on Japan, and at the time of writing the world is awaiting the news of Japanese surrender. The atomic bomb is blasting the day of surrender. Now what has all this to do with the church? For many years the Church has been told, from within and without, that it must not concern itself with social interests. Its duty was to preach religion. But those days have gone! Religion, and christianity in particular," cannot confine itself within the four walls of a church. It must reach out into the lives of men. Now we find that the lives of men are to be greatly influenced by the use of atomic energy. That brings chris- tianity and the atomic discovery face to face. We are already aware of the fact that if the atomic energy is right- ly used it will be a great boon to humanity; but if it is wrongly used it can mean the total annihilation of the human race. Christianity is civilization's answer APPLICATION TO LIFE Rev. E. G. Bruton to the atomic bomb! It is absolutely imperative that the world's inhabi- tants be taught the proper way of lite. That means that you and I and every Une else must learn the true way which Christ Himself set before us, If Christianity is given a real place in the hearts of us all, then we may be sure that the "atom" will be used as an instrument in the hand of God, for the salvation of mankind. That doesn't mean that by the atom we will be saved, but it does mean that we will not be utterly destroyed from the fa of the earth, Let us turn to the very pertinent words of our Lord in St. John 6:27-68, "Work, not for perishing food, but for that lasting food which means eternal life." Then He is asked, "What must we do to perform the works of God?" "This is the work of God, to believe in Him whom God has sent." It is our Lord whom God sent from heaven to give life to the world, for Jesus said "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will never be hungry, and he who believes in me will' never be thirsty again." All those who - par- take of the great benefits of the sacri- fice which Christ made for us upon the Cross will be enabled to live the life in accordance with the will of God. It is that quickening dnd sustaining spirit of God that is needed by all of us as we go forward into the "atomic age". For separation from God means death and destruction, but union with God means life, both here and here- after. ' For several years the Port Perry, Reach and Scugog Agricultural society has been sponsoring a Field Crop Competition. This year's is the larg- est yet. There were 361 bushels of No. 1 Registered Ajax oats distributed to 32 farmers. in Reach and Scugog Townships last spring. The Depart- ment sent Mr. Gordon Hancock, of Peterboro to judge the Competition this year. This was a big job. They are a splendid lot of oats, and some very heavy crops. Some were badly lodged which cut down the score. Some had failed to leave a space between the plot and another variety. This also cut down the score. He was also very hard on noxious weeds, especially Wild Oats. He judged for seed much more than for crop. If he had judged for the best and heaviest crops the report would have been much different. The following is basis of the score: Purity of variety, 10 pts.; freedom from other kinds of grain 10 points; freedom from rust, blight, etc., 15 pts; freedom from weeds, 26 pts.; stand of crop, vigor and uniformity, 40 pts. Total 100 pts. FIELD CROP COMPETITION The following is the result of the score as received from the Depart- ment: W. E. Martyn, 92 pts.; Roy Robert- son, 91 pts.; J. H. Wilson & Son, 90 pts.; Ernest Phair, 88 pts.; Lloyd Lee, 87 pts.; Roy Hart & Son, 86% pts.; A, Bruce & Son, 86 pts.; Fralick Bros., 86; W.

Baird, 76; Clifford Redman, 78; Anson Gerrow, 72; Robt, Baird, 71. 76% of the prize money will be paid for the standing crop and 26% for grain shown at the Port Perry Fair, on Labour Day, Sept. 3rd. Bring in a bushel of the grain, it is a good way of advertising seed for sale, 'A VERY PLEASING CELEBRATION The following brief address, given by Mr. J. E. Jackson, outlines the pur- pose and program of the day's cele- bration: and he remained in New York, work- ing there, until he had money to com- plete his journey. Coming to Ontario, he lived first at Port Perry, and Scugog Island where he worked for Crozier Bros. and has heen in Orillia for the past 24 years, where he had since lived, He was married in Toronto to Migs Elsie Lit- tler, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Littler, of Orillia, and sister of Mrs. Wm. Dodsley. Besides his wife, Mr. Lang is sur- vived by one son, Pilot Officer Leonard Lang, who was married in England to an English girl only a month ago, and is expected home shortly; a daughter, Miss Joy Lang, at home.
