When a man wants to get rid of a wife he can think up all sorts of excuses. But at least he should give her another chance to be the sort of wife he wants, If this prob- lem faces you, tell Anne Hirst about it--at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St., New Toronto, Ont, Modern Etiquette Q. Is it absolutely required that a person give the reason .for de- clining dan invitation? - Alt is not obligatory to do so, but if the person would like to have another invitation sometime in the future, it is better to explain the reason for being unable to accept this time. Otherwise, some hostess- es might resent a plain, blunt re- fusal, . Q. When are bread or rolls serv- ed at dinner? g A. As soon as soup is served, the rolls or bread are passed.

No; it should be concealed in the palm. If thé knife is held: cor- rectly this is easy. Never be guilty of pressing the forefinger dwn on the back of the knife's blade. The hand and all the fingers belong orily on the handle of the knife. . Q. Is it proper for the bride-to-be to take part in her wedding rehears- . al? A.

Traditionally, women are the ones who set great store by "matters of social pomp and prece- dence, wangling invitations and gencrally being treated with the de- ference they figure. is due their rank, Men like to pose as scornful of such carrying on.

R. B. Warren, B, A., B. D. ABRAHAM, GOD'S PIONEER Genesis 12:1-9; 13:14-17 Memory Selection: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. --Hebrews 11:10. This quarter begins the first unit in a comprehensive study of Old Testament history. The lessons of this unit begin with Abraham and trace the beginnings of the Hebrew nation to the conquest of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua. After this quarter, these historical --studies--will-be resumed-inzthe third quarter of 1952. The aim. of this quarter is to discover the signifi- cance of God's selection of the: na- tion Israel and to- know God as revealed in the early years of that nation. This study is particularly interesting today because of events concerning the Jews. Into the tiny land promised to Abraham and his - seed forever, the Jews have come at the rate of 21,000 a month during the first months of this year. The land, about one-tenth the size of England, is being transformed so * ~that the desert _is blossoming as the rose. Israel-grown flowers are being packed and air-freighted to Europe - and the United States. Israel and California are the only two areas that cultivate flowers the round. Three vears ago, 15,000 acres were devoted to the growth: of vegetables. Now 43,750 acres are so used. The output of the Haifa Oil. Refineries is expected to reach 2,500,000 tons a year now that the new cracking plant has goye into operation. Abralam is revered by more people than any other figure in his- tory. He is the father of the Jews. The Mohammedans respect him be- cause he was the grandfather of Ilasu, from whence came the Ara- bic" nations. To the Christians he is the "Father of the Faithful." His right to this title is seen in this lesson. At God's call he left "his kindred and "went out, not know- ing whither he went." But he be- lieved God. Through his seed came Jesus the Messiah, the son of Mary whd conceived of the Holy Ghost. In Him all families of the carth are blessed. Abraham was God's - pio- neer. Throughout his wanderings he had his eve on the eternal reward, the city whose builder and maker is God. z : Ottawa--Please Note The effect of inflation is to in- pose a capital levy on certain forms _of thrift. It falls hardest on certain | social classes. Thus, -in a sense, a war can be financed by debasing the value of the coinage as well as by imposing heavier taxes. It is much easier for politicians to follow inflation than taxes. Where inflation hurts most is in lowering "the value of life insur- ance policies, savings bank funds, mortgage and other bonds, pen- sions and annuities. Inflation is primarily a tax on thrift. Those injured are the whites collar classes, unorganized workers, pensioners and annuitants, and sim: ilar groups. They receive the sade number of dollars, but can't buy so much. --From=~ The Monitor. «1 Christian Science CHECK ASTHMA SYMPTOMS ANYTIME! Any: time= - anywhere!
