'Paul was addressin people who "had been delivered from 'paganism, Some felt they could ° eat of the meat dedicated to idols without any harm to themselves They would have no cohscious- ness of the idol. But other weaker ones were troubled when they saw their fellow Christians in the idol's temple. Paul made his great appeal, "Through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethern and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ." Some argue that there is no harm-in--drinking liquor as long as you don't get drunk. (Drunk- enness is one of the things of things which it is said, "They which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Gal. 5:12). But what is drunken- ness? The experts demonstrate that a very small amount of al- cohol affects the brain. The indi- vidual is "impaired" though not "drunk" as that term is usually understood. The committee -arranging the 'Sunday School lessons did well to include Paul's statement on fornication in this temperance ~lesson. It was a live issue in the wicked seaport city of Corinth. History, biblical and profane, il- lustrates the point that a drink or two increases the -possibility of fornication. The brakes don't work so well. Inhibitions and moral restrajnts lose 'their effect and the in yields to the lust of the flesh, -. If one may trust the findings of surveys, about three quarters of young men and half of the young women indulge in this sin before marriage. What an in- dictment Bgainst our civilization. How dare we call it Christian? No wonder so many marriages founder. We need a revival of old-fashioned Bible ed Bible religion. Easy Work Helps Weeds seem to thrive in any weather. Many people get dis- couraged early,' especially when they see these 'pests crowding out their flowers and vegetables. One should take hope from the fact that one thcrough weeding will bring the situation well under control. But means pulling the weeds out by the roots or cutting them off be- low the soil's surface with a cul- tivator or hoe. This first and thorough job is carried out after the newly seeded flowers and vegetables are nicely up, say with their second or third set of vidual more readily' literally. this- i DXA Ra HARE ARATE) Safety DemonstrationSgt. Charles F. Pearsall, Director of Toronto Traffic Safety Council, conducts a class in safety regulations. These students are preparing fo enter this year's Traffic and Safety Quiz at the Canadian National Exhibition. The Quiz is open to school students up to the age of 16 years, and there will, of course, be cash prizes for the winners. This is an opportunity for students to earn a little extra money and af the. same time help make this a safer country where children may run and play at home and at school. For details of this competition send a request to the Canadian National Exhibition. A copy of the prize list with entry forms will be mailed out free of charge. The envelope should be-marked "Women's Division." cinder or gravel. With any of these the main thing is to place firmly and level with .or slightly above the surrounding grass, so that the lawn mower will trim or even run right over easily. Where the traffic is light- "er, one can simply use grass for the, strip of well grown, well fed tough grass. It is surprising the amount of wear this will give. In lots of public gardens grass paths are used to divide the flower plots and they are seldom worn thin. Where cin- der or gravel is used in paths or driveways one can eliminate grass and weeds by-sprinkling heavily with rock 'salt or treating with some of the weed sprays Hints t Experienced gardeners have all sorts of little tricks that will add to the interest and satisfaction of gardening. One of the oldest is to soak seed before planting. This applies especially to vege- table seeds like peas, beans, beets and lettuce. By soaking for a very few hours just before planting, germination is hastened and sev- + eral days are saved. With carrots and beets it will help to prepare the rows with special care, dig- ding out the poor- or hard soil to a depth of six inches or a foot, and _ filling with rich soil with plenty of humus and manure. In - such the seeds will germinate quickly and the young vegetables 'grow without being crowded. Because this special soil is very open there will be less need for thihning and the roots wili grow straight. With melons, cucumbers just . and squash we usually sow in: specially rich hills with some old rotten manure if we can find it. With all bedding plants, it is a good plan to pinch back after transplanting, and especially to remove any flowers or buds. This pinching encourages stouter and Government Sponsored Loans "Available To Ontario Farmers What Kind of Loan Do You Need?

Vast Unknown Land Below The Equator By now I had read enough to know that "llanos" was the name of the vast region of plains that stretch away from the Eastern Andes towards Brazil and: Vene- zuela, I had almost mastered the proper liquid pronunciation of the double 1. But I had yet to learn just how wide and wild these. plains dre; how like a sea whose ports are at the -moun- tains' edge. We had yet to know the thrill of that open wind- swept land where one's nearest neightbor is a day's ride away on horseback; land that is' val- ued by the- number of cattle on it. The country is not unexplored nor yet uninhabited. From the days of Quesada's army on. peo- "ple have passed through or settled here. . . . In remote huts you will stumble on people from England, - France,' Sweden, or .even Syria. But the counicy is so vast that they are swallowed up in it. . Just then we came upon a . herd of cattle being driven up from the plains to feed the .peo- ple of Bogota, and had stop the -¢ car to let the stream of bobbing heads, backs, and horns flow by Behind walked the herdsmen, barefoot, with a ruana, a square piece' of blanket with a slit in the middle for the head fold- ed and carried over one' shoul« "der, and a leather lasso over the ~ other. . ... : Past "the last chain it 'began {0 J forever shut in by towering mountains. * seem as though we were on a magic road that would: keep us twisting and We had been driving more than four -hours, practically without stopping: Bogota, Caqueza, Chi- ' paque, and the sandwiches were only pleasant memories We were stiff from bracing ourselves against the turns when suddenly we rounded a curve and stopped short, on the edge of--ncthing.

NEW monies For the inexperienced mother .a baby in the -house is some- . times a fearful thing and causes her to worry and lose her sleep. "These warries are normal, but many: of them are unnecessary For example! There is a soft spot, called the fontanel, on top of a baby's head and many moth- ers fear they will injure their baby if this spot is touched or pressed. The fontanel is tougher than you think i will come to the af¢ell-nourish- ed infant, handled in the ordin- ary way. New mothers worry because their baby's eyes move inde- pendently. of each other. This is normal" and occurs because the muscles that control a baby's eves are 'still weak. However, as the muscles get stronger' this defect disappears. A true cross eye is much more noticeable and does not _disappear.- If h baby's eyes don't line up properly at the age of a year, an eye spe- cialist should be consulted. You may think there is some- thing wrong because your baby's legs look "bowed." All new babies' legs look this way be- cause they "tuck them up" be- fore they are born. A baby still does this when he is asleep or relaxed; his knees bend out and the soles of his feet face each other. His legs will straighten out as his muscles grow stronger Another new-mother worry is a baby's flat feet. This too, is normal, because a baby is born with a built-in arch support. This pad. of fat makes his feet look flat. It will disappear as he grows and his arches gets strong enough to support him without this aid. ==--Spitting up is another mater- nal disturber; something - most new babies do. And it doesn't really mean anything he spits up is sour; stomach juices makes it this way. If baby vomits a large amount it really alarms a mother but this is not serious if the baby is otherwise well and happy. However. if he continues 'to vomit large amounts each day, your doctor should be consulted. - A mother worries wien her baby hiccups, while the baby is | placid about it. Hiccups just seem to be necessary to a new baby. He hiccups if he eats too fast, eats too much, if he swal- lows air. "The 'thing to do for hiccups is to give him some warm water. Trust yourself and have fun with your baby; common your no. harm . "longer. and it~ doesn't matter either if the milk "sense won't When you are - worried "vonsult - your' doctor. JOHNNY WON'T PLAY WITH OTHER CHILDREN: "My - four-year old Johnny won't play with other children: = He pe hn INA lead you "Rsteay. : tags after me=-the---whele--day-- wanting me to amuse him. I've "told him I had .work to' do and I've tried definite play periods without success. What = would you suggest 1 do . now?" asks Mrs. J. T. Why not let Johnny help you with your housework? He could dry silver, scrub potatoes, empty ash trays and waste baskets. . Thank him and praise him for his help. Buy him a toy tele- phone that rings when dialled and have him 'phone to you from his 'other-room "office." You'll perhaps learn what is worry- ing or frightening him, if you listen to what he has to say. In a few days try school with him. You be the © teacher and as you go about your work Johnny can sit at his desk. In this way you can talk to - one. another while Johnny does things for himself. Soon you can invite another child to your- school. Perhaps in a couple of days, if Johnny is happy with the other child, your pupils can play "recess" on the porch or in the yard. Don't try to rush things and don't lose interest in John- 'ny's doings nor leave him on his own 'too: long. 'You don't want to get him upset again. Most likely Johnny's first recesses will be short. However, when he realizes that you are inside -working and that he can -see you or call to you he'll play Don't scold, punish or call him 'fraidiy cat or sissy it he won't stay out with the chil- dren very long and don't dis- cuss this problem when Johnny is with you or can hear you. Try these suggestions and if Johnny doesn't respond, you should consult your doctor. In- cidently, have you been "sneak- ing out" on Johnny' or leaving him often with strange sitters? Or perhaps he's not eating enough of the right foods or gets enough sleep. Of course, some four-yedr-olds go through a clinging-to-mother stage which -may last two or three months.
