t\l * Today‘s Chairs Are Convenient Convenionce rather than bizarre â€" atyle characterizes the most recent chairs in the contemporary manâ€" mer. Although interest in period styles is still strong, the modern mode, too, is popular and already reflects its own changes of fashion, says the New York Times. Origâ€" inal designers, sometimes with new types of construction, are featured in the shops. Since the custom of buying suites of furniture all in the same design is giving way to selectâ€" ing different pieces to make an ensemble, it becomes essential to have a variety of choices in chairs. DESIGNED TO FIT BODY Allâ€"upholstered chairs are now more slender in line, but because of new types of padding and spring construction they provide the same grateful ease as the older, overâ€" uphoilstered types. Chair backs and seats are designed to fit the conâ€" tours of the body more comfortâ€" ably than formerly. For example, the backs of the new chairs are inâ€" clined at a greater and more luxâ€" urious angle. BACKS ARE LOWER The backs of both easy chairs and side chairs are lower than they were some time ago, bringing them into scale with small rooms. But for thoese who like an easy chair with a back high enough t> rest one‘s head against, there are modâ€" .ern style tallâ€"backed chairs.

PRINTED TEXT, Luke 3: 3, s 817, 21, 22. GOLDEN TEXTâ€"Bring forth thereâ€" fore fruits worthy of repentance. Luke 3: 8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€"It is gonerally understood that the climax of John‘s ministry, and the baptism of Christ, occurâ€" red between the summer of A.D. 26 and the spring of A.D. 27. Place.â€"The ministry of John the Baptist for the most part was in the wilderness of Judaca. The exâ€" act place where Jesus Wa$ bapâ€" tized is not known, but it is thought to have been not far from the city of Jericho, and of course on the Jordan River. John‘s Ministry John the Baptist appeared, and shortly our Lord also, at a time when the world was ruled by the most powerful government, the Roâ€" man, that the world has ever known. The priesthood of Israel was as corrupt as the government which she hated. Israel was in & tragically deplorable condition, cerâ€" tainly needing light, ‘cleansing, & new word from God which would convict her of her sins, and preâ€" pare her for receiving the Messiah. At this time the word of the Lord . came to one who had beon anâ€" nounced, even before his birth, 48 the forerunner of the Messiah, John the Baptist, who was found at this time in the wilderness. He: had been there at least ten years. One day he roused himself under the mastery of a pressure upon him from above and the messenger of the living God began to proclaim _ his message. Luke 3: 3. And he camo into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remisâ€" sion of sins. The Rite of Baptism This baptism of John‘s was an entirely new rite, and highly sigâ€" nificant. The Jews were accustomâ€" ed to ablution as the outward sign of inward purification ; but John made it a universal rite. The first word of his ministry was, Repent; his baptism was for those who had repented; it foretold the purificaâ€" tion of mind and heart which comes from the washing away of our sins in the blood of Jesus Christ; on the part of man, delivers a declar ation of â€"sin renounced; on the part of God, of sin forgiven. $. Bring forth therefore fruits worthy ~of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We ‘ _ have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise UD children unto Abraham. The Jews had so exalted a conception of their privâ€" ilege as children of Abraham that they could scarcely believo it poSâ€" sible that any son of Abraham should ever be iost. John pointed to the rocky plains around him, and declared that God who had made Adam from clay could make sons of Abraham from those stones, 9. And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. The tree here metaâ€" phorically referred to is of course Israel; the time. when the axe is laid at the root of the trees is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ; the fruit of which John here speaks is true repentance and belief in the Messiah, showing that the heart is right (that is, that the tree is bearâ€" ing fruit is intended). Practical Application 10. And the multitudes asked him. saying, What then must we do? 11. And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food," let him do likewise, ' 12. And there came also publiâ€" cans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do? 13. And he said unto them, Exhort no more than that which is apâ€" pointed you. Publicans were taX collectors, attempting to squeeze ‘out as much graft as possible, 14. And soldiers also asked him, sayâ€" S y R U V e SUNDA Y SCHOO L LE SS O N ing, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violepce. neither accuse any one wrongfully; and be COnâ€" tent with your wages. His Testimony to Christ 15. And as the people were in expectation, and all mean reasonéed in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ; John answered, saying unto them er; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unâ€" loose. This new prophet increased the hopes of deliverance; then the mysterious whisper went round that this was the Christ. (None dared ask the stern prophet, until at length the rumor became of naâ€" tional importance, and the deputaâ€" tion from the Sanhedrin ‘waited upon himâ€"John 1: 19).

In Canada, during the past deâ€" cade, many a farmer has revised his estimate ‘of pasture and learnâ€" ed that with rational fertilizing and grazing management it. may be‘ made the mast profitable crop on the farm, providing an abunâ€" dance of palatable, more nutriâ€" tious feed over an extended grazâ€" ing season. With the introduction of pasâ€" . ture improvement it was customâ€" ary to make the fertilizer appliâ€" cation in spring, a practice that still continues on many farms. But the results of experiments‘ indicated a distant advantage in the full application of a mineral fertilizer, â€" notably the O0â€"16â€"6, while some relied on straight suâ€" perâ€"phosphate for the heavier soils. Where the herbage conâ€" sisted mostly of grasses the fall treatment was sometimes followed by a dressing of Sulphate of Amntonia or other nitrcgen fertilâ€" izer in‘ spring. o omg f MORE VIGOROUS GROWTH In the fall of 1939 pasture trials to determine. chiefly the value of nitrogen in the fertilâ€" izer applied at this season were commenced at a number of points in Ontario and Quebec, the rate and weight of growing being esâ€" timated periodically during ~ the â€" season by. the aid of protective cages placed at several sites in each plot. ‘Although the records are not complete, it is possible to draw general conclusions from the â€"data available. . r ; The outstanding feature in evâ€" ery trial was the‘ more advanced and vigorous growth of the ferâ€" tilized herbage, noticged in early spring, and the marked superioriâ€" ty ‘of the grazing throughout the season. In two or three instances where but little clover was preâ€" sent in the herbage the influence of the nitrogen in the fall fertilâ€" izer was quite marked at first but less so as the season advanced. The choice lay between Oâ€"16â€"6 and 2â€"16â€"6, the former preferable where clover or other legumses were plentiful, the latter where grasses made up the greater part of the herbage. Radio Irons Out Schedules Unexpected repercussions of the Federal Power Commissioner‘s rulâ€" ing continving daylight saving time where it is established in Ontario and Quebec, were successfully ironâ€" ed out by the Canadian Broadcast: ing Corporation. The ruling threw a monkey wrench into plans, for winter proâ€" grams requiring coâ€"ordination with time in other provinces and in the United States where clocks were moved back one hour to standard time. 4 ; SAME AS ATLANTIC TIME Generally speaking programs of the C. B. C. have been based on Eastern Daylight time in the sumâ€" mer and Eastern standard time in the winter. Now they are continâ€" uing throughout the winter to be based on Eastern daylight time. The effect has been to base them on Atlantic standard time. Thus in the winter days before the war, if a program were preâ€" sented over a national hookup at $ p.m. E.S.T., it would be heard in Halifax at 9 pm. A.S.T. and in Vancouver at 5 p.m. P.S.T. Now this program is presented at 9 p.m. ED.T. which will beâ€" 9 p.m. A.S.T. and 5¢p.m. P.S.T.
