The Sermon on the Mount was ad­ dressed by Christ to or believers.

No longer are they content to waste feed and spoil good hides by permitting grubs to live in the backs of their cattle.

(Psa. 103:13.) Of whom is God the Heavenly Father? Many people have a mis­ taken idea of the answer to. this question. A popular expression is: "The universal Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man.” But there is no sanctum for this in the Bible; it does not teach that God Father of all men, or that are brothers. Seven different books Bible are drawn upon, in this lesson to show us what God's Word teach­ es as to the Heavenly Father; Psalm Isaiah, Matthew, Luke, John, Ro­ manis, Hebrews. From these Scriptures, written by six or seven different men, the first and last of whom lived more than a thousand years apart, vet all sup- ernaturally and infallibly inspired by the same Holy Spirit, .we find the same divine teaching concerning God the Father. God is not the Father of all men, but only of "them that fear Him”; "that wait upon the Lord”; that, as disciples of Christ, "seek first the kingdom of God and his righteous­ ness”; that look to Christ as Sevior and LoTd; that are bcm again of the Holy Spirit; that show they are "of God” by believing and loving His Son; that have come unto the Father by the Son; that are "led by the Spirit of God"; tened as sons of their Father. These striking the lesson passages, and must understood If we are to understand what the Bible teaches about the Fatherhood of God. The lesson Psalm tells of God’s great blessings of forgiveness, re­ demption, healing, love, mercy and many good things, incsuding the re­ moving of our sins from us "as far as the east is from the west." But God does not do this, He cannot do this except for those who trust Him in reverential fear. Then, "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.” The prophet Isaiah, declaring that God, "the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is angry, declares also that this omnipotent God "giveth power to the faint.” But unbelief cute men off from God. and that are chas- God because He is facte ail appear in be Shingles!

More interesting than the average count, however, is the fact that in 1934 there were 547 head out of the total of 736 tirely free these cattle that spring. two or three grubs were found only these individual grubs received treatment, thereby greatly reducing the amount of powder required. Any heavy infestation of the cattle was found only on that section of the island where the untreated cattle were taken. Sixteen heads were en­ tirely free from the grubs.

To Nicodemus, religious teacher, yet one who had believe in Christ Messiah of Israel and Saviour of the world, he Lord said: "Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God . . . That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that u hich is born of the .Spirit is spirit” In other words, Christ was teaching Nicodemus that our natural birth, from our human fathers, does not make us children of God, but only the birth from above, as we are born again by the Holy Spirit when we receive Christ as Saviour. For "as many as received Him, to them gave He power to .become the sons of God even to them that believe on His name.” (John 1:12.> But the most unequivocal, unan­ swerable and convincing pronounce­ ment in all the Scriptures on the subject of the Fatherhood of God is found in our Lord’s words to the Jews who were rejoicing Him. They were plotting to kill Christ, and He told them plainly: "Now ye seek, t-o kill Me, a Man that hath told you the truth.” They were running true to form, He said, as He declared: "Ye do- the deeds -of your father.” They countered by saying: "We have one Father, even God." Then came this terrific indict­ ment from the Son of God: “If God were your Father, ye would love Me ... Ye are of your father ye will do. He was murdered from the be­ ginning. . . . He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” Paul gave inspired teaching when he wrote: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” The Spirit always honors and glorifies Christ points men to Him. Finally, if we are truly God’s dren by faith in His Son as our lour, we must expect Him to with us an any true father deals with his children: chastening us for our good.

That grubs were killed on 703 head of Cattle, or an average of 22.7 grubs per animal. Severn 1 animals had over 100 grubs each oyi actual count From the information he has re­ ceived he has received regarding all these various efforts at warble fly control, Dr. Stevenson estimates that a half million, or approximately 20 per cent, of Ontario’s 2,500,000 cat­ tle were treated for warbles during he spring of 1934. As already stated, this year’s cam­ paign starts now. With the exper­ ience gained from last year: with the impetus given to the work bi' last year’s results; with scores of farmers in the areas where treating of the cattle was most general re­ porting that they did not see the cattle running in the fields in the characteristic wild chasing caused by the heel fly; with scores of others Stating that- they omyi saw cattle running once or twice as compared with the previous more or less daily occurrence of this chasing in hot weather, there is eyery reason to expect that at least half of Ontario’s cattle will have the grubs killed in their backs this spring. Five counties, Oxford, Elgin, Bruce Waterloo and Middlesex, ready reported under way for wide 'campaigns not all of the extend the areas treated last year and if individual farmers who have not yet treated their stock at all will discuss the results obtained with those who have, treatment will soon <be so general that the killing of warble fly grubs will be as much a matter of 'common farm practice as the killing of the Colorado pota­ to bettie on the potato crop. Warble flies may not be entirely driven from the province but they will be reduced to such numbers that they no longer cause untold suffering to cattle, with serious losses in milk flow and growth in the summer from the fly, and serious damage to hides and meat by the grubs in the winter. But why all this sudden enthus­ iasm for the removal of the warble fly pest? Why, if these control measures are so effective, were they not applied years ago? The native warble fly and its more damaging blood relation, the European warble fly or heel fly, has been a fairly common pest attacking Ontario cat­ tle for twenty-five years or more. There are several- reasons for this delay in any general attempt to bring the fly under control. Up un­ til about fifteen years ago only a few scattered research workers knew the life history .of these flies and the re­ lationship between the grubs in the backs of cattle and the flies that at­ tack the cattle when on pasture in the summer. Of even more recent date has been the discovery, of der­ ris root powder as a safe, effective and easily applied method of killing the grubs in the backs of cattle. At­ tempts to squeeeze the grubs out by hand were made spasmodically but were too slow and accompanied by too much pain and discomfort to the animal to be widely adopted or thor­ oughly carried out. Lastlyi, it has only been as the flies and grubs be­ came .ni’ore numerous and definite figures were obtained from packing plants and other damage to hides production, that how expensive a become. On March 24th, 1932, Dr. Steven­ son held a meeting in a little school on Barrie Island and described to farmers who attended, life history of the measures might be ganized campaign grubs on the backs in the community, council was taken as the organiza­ tion unit, each councillor holding himself responsible for enlisting the interest of all the farmers in his district to make certain that all the cattle were treated under the direc­ tion of Dr. Stevenson. Treatment started on March 25, on the farm of Percy RunnaWs, who had taken the two-year course at the ■Ontario’ Agricultural College. A total of 179 head were treated that day and on them were found 2,318 grubs. The second day, 277 cattle werso treated, with 4,730 grubs. And so it went until the whole island .was covered, with the results given The first year’s treatment reduced the grabs found the following spring from nearly twenty-three per head to just over nine. The 1933 treat­ ment of the same cattle still further reduced the number of grubs to an average of 5.86 .grubs per head and some untreated cattle had been taken onto the island by a careless individual in the meantime, The AILSA CRAIG CHURCH RECEIVES $100 REQUEST under the late Miss of London 19 34, Miss Ailsa Craig United Church receives a cash .bequest of $100 terms of the will of the Betsey Hannah Edwards, who died on February 4, Edwards leaves an estate valued at $6,385.43 and composed entirely of personal property, The bulk of it is divided among sisters and nieces.
