Many Children Growing Up
Without Reigious Influence
Due probably to thee, fact that a
large percentage of the boys and
girls of our country are growing
up outside the !pale of religious
influences.. religious leaders have
been feeling the urge to do sonie-
thipg for the children besides what
Is being done in the Sunday sehools
'and in the occasional home, says
'the Lindsay •Peat. Far be ft from
us to discount the value of our
"Sunday schools but the fact is
patent to all that many children
never enter the doors of our church
schools Then, too, due to war
conditions — fathers overseas and'.
mothers in war plants, children are
being left. like Topsy; to just,
"grow
No doubt having these factors
rder consideration, the Lindsay,
Board of Education a few months
ago asked the local •Ministerial As-
sociation to consider giving 30 -min-
ute period of Bible instruction to
the 'children of our local public
school's. This challenge was gladly
accepted by our focal ministers
who began this new course on
Wednesday morning. As a begin-
ning. instruction is being give

It is .understood that the course.

good' will result from this instruc-

Malta Saved By
Force of ':Prayer
Malta's long resistance against
overwhelming Axis odds was at-
tributed directly `to the force of
prayer, by Sir 'William illiam Dobbie,
former governor of the island,
in a. broadcast talk.
"During the two years of the
siege," said General. Dobbie, "1
was very conscious of the good
hand•of God upon us. I am sure
that the continued safety of Malta
was .ultimately due to His divine
protection. .
Dobbie, who held nightly Bible
• classes on bomb -scarred Malta, is'.
sure that he is not alone• in his
convictions. "Many others share
it with me," he said,"and we are
glad to acknowledge it humbly,
and thankfully."
"I am convinced that God does
still answer prayer' I believe that
reeognitien of this fact was the
;'secret of the spirit, 'endurance
and fortitude. shown by so many
persons in Malta.
"Lessons which we can draw
from this epic story are: firstly.
a stout heart still produces great
results;• secondly, co-operation in
efforts and a determination to
help each other is vitally import-
ant, especially in times of stress;
and thirdly; acknowledgement of
God through Christ, and trust in
Him is now, as ever, the, thing
which matters most"

TIPS FOR CHECKUP
Or FARM -MACHINES
By H. W. Kitching, A.A.C., Guelph.
Every farm machine is a f%ghtiing
•nachine. A' battle may be lost if a
•ank baeaks down, so may.a crop be
'ost while a binder is being re-
-aired. Every farm machine , must
e. in fighting trim when it goes
r't1 action next year. New machin-
r is practically a thing of the
ast for the duration. This means
'sat existing machines must be put
the best possible condition and
iven the ' best of care.
With this in mind, the [week of
- j ember 16th to 21st has been
-ignated as • Farm Implement
heel}-1Jp Week. Now, when most
' otir machines are through work
>r this year = while troubles en-
untered during last season's op-.
-
-ations are still fresh in our minds
-is the time to check each machine
horoughly, order needed parts and
e that. it • is. properly stored for
he winter. • .
•
The following: points are suggested
a a glide . in .carrying out this.
check-up:• ,
1. 'Check main frame ='lion loose or
missing• bolts and '.bent or broken '
braces:. Tune vias, when a broken
bolt was just one .less bolt in 'a -
world of bolts, nuts and cog wheels,
to be had for a sum of cash and a
trip to town Now it ;may -mean not.
only a loss of time but the loss of
a crop- A drop of penetrating oil
will assist greatly in tightening loose
rusted bolts. For those that persist
in working loose,a lock .nut or lock
:va_her - is a worthwhile addition.,
Many broken parts, such as frame,
7r-' ,, „r-. , ,t,lldd_be re-
oaired by acetylene or electric weld-
ing. This procedure may save many
'sounds :of valuable metal. "Welding,
facilities and, materials are at a pre=
rniurn however and any work of this

n� rriediately.
.2. Clean. ' machine thoroughly:
Caked mud and greasemay cove;
worn or broken parts. It also helps
-etain moisture which will rust the
7artt so covered. Fertilizer distrib-
uters should be given: particular at-
tention and in some cases may have
t9 be ;disassembled for' thorough
cleaning.
3. Lubricate thoroughly. Clean out
all oil holes and, grease, #ttings and
give the machine a thorough lubri-
cation: Thus, all delicate bearing
