The Pure lit !kart
Matthew 5:8, 27-37p. Luke 9;61.62.
Our memory selection gives the
Subject cif our lesson: "Blessed
are the pure in heart;, for they'
shall see God." Matthew 5;.8.
Jesus was a heart specialist. In-
deed, his emphasis on the neces-
tshitey cohfieat fpauerteorbs eianrtwws as counreonOgf
the disfavor of the religious lead-
ers of the day. Theirs was a
religion of observance of many
laws and rules affecting the ex-
ternal. Jesus called for purity of
heart They recognized the sin-
fulness of murder but Jesus
called for more than refraining
from murder, Ire said, "Lave
your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do •good to them that
hate you, and pray for them that
despitefully use you and perse.
cute you,"
When the Apartheid question
of South Africa was being die-
cussed in the United Nation;
the Indian delegate reminded the
members of the great percept,
"Love thy neighbour."
Whereas the religious leaders
viewed• adultery as a sin, Jesus
traced its evil to the heart, say-
ing, "Whosoever looketh on a
woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her al-.
ready in his heart." Obscene
literature and much that comes
out of Hollywood - which has
many famous adulterers - feed
the fires of adulterous thinking.
The religious; leaders sanc-
tioned divorce as long as the
man gave his wife 'a writing,
Jesus saw divorce as an irregu-
larity and, contrary to`the Divine
plan for marriage. He, cons
demned divorce on, every ground
except adultery.
By nature man is sinful. Out
of the heart "proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries, fornication;
murders, thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lascivious•
ness, an evil eye; blaspherny,
pride, foolishness." We need for-
giveness for these sins. "If we
confess our sins He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all un-
righteousness. The -disciples re-
ceived this Inner cleansing when
ba,ptized with the. Holy Ghost on
the day of Pentecost: "ptuifyins

Man Powered Flight Starts
A New Age of Flappers
by Tom Cuilen
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
London - Is it a bird? Is it a
plane? Is it Superman? Some
Britishers hope it will be a
"superman"- flying like a bird.
While the Soviet Union and
the United States hasten to reach
the moon, Britain, in some ways,
seems more concerned with just
getting a man off the ground un-
der his own steam.
Present aerodynamic studies
which indicate such flight may
'be possible, have inspired Henry
Kremer, wealthy British indus-
trialist to offer a $15,000 prize
for the first British Common-
wealth subject to complete, a
.figure-eight flight in a man-
powered aircraft, around, two py-
lons spaced a half mile apart.

_similar venture.

Hartmann hasn't yet tried 4-

trols which flap the wings, but
he has had his ornithopter out

car at 40 miles an hour. '
Terence Nonweiler, an earo-
nautics lectutere, offers a more
scientific' approach. Nonweiler
has designed a machine which is
known as the "heavenly tand-
em."
It is a' two-man craft, resem-

Per capita consumption of

18.3 pounds in 1943 to 26.6
pounds its 1958 following appli-
cation of grading and marketing

E. D. Bonnyman the Canada
Department of Agriculture, told
the United States turkey indus-
try. *
Mr. Bonnyman took part in
a panel at the National Turkey
Federation convention at Min-
.neapolis. Over' 6,000 attended.
He •told the Americans that
while the regulations could not
be credited with all the• increase
in consumption, they were a big
contributing factor. Consumers
reacted favorably to' purchasing
poultry on a graded basis, he
said, and the policy had a stand-
ardizing effect on overall mer-
chandising.
year, 8,1363;178 carcasses were
graed.
The increase over 1958 was
close to 2,110,000.
* * *
A Canada. Department of Ag-
riculture report shows, that on
'the national scale, 29.5 per cent
were Grade A, an increase of
nearly one per cent over 1958,
and 48.3 per cent were Grade
B1 - seven per cent higher.
* *
Elgin Senn, chief of the Grad-
ing Section, Livestock Division,
said that changes in official
grades last October 5 would
have little effect, on the overall
percentage, since' a wider range
of weights of Grades A and B1
were balanced by a tightening
up of the back fat measurements
for the lighter carcasses.
"We will have to wait a year
to know accurately what effect
the changes in grades will have,"
he explained.

Gardening Is.
A Growing Business.
To the man or woman who
grows them, plants mean far
more than a patch of color. They
sometimes seem to take on a
personality of their own. Thieves
once grabbed a bunch of dahlias
from engineering company exe-
cutive Conrad E. Faust's garden
in Atlanta. The next day, his
wife spotted the culprits - by
recognizing not the thieves, but
the flowers. "Dahlias are just
like people," Faust explains.
"Each one is an individual."
The postwar back-to-the-soil
movement springs partly from•
an atavistic creative urge. "It's
like a fever, this hidden urge to
plant," says nurseryman Frank
A. Smith of Atlanta. Speaking
for gardeners, Dr. Maurice
Weiner, a Detroit' pediatrician
who rises at 6 on summer morn-
ings to tend his 600 rose, bushes,
calls gardening "a primitive re-
action" from modern tensions.
"Everyone wants beauty, and
flowers let them have it," adds.,
president William Harris:of New
York's Goldfarb's, one of the
few among the 25,000 U.S. retail
nursery firms with a multi-,
million-dollar business.
The trek to' suburbia gave this
primeval passion an outlet.
"There are just more gardens
now," says Vaughan's Charles
Keegan. And the industry has
followed the customers. Seed
stores, Dr. Carleton notes, have
virtually disappeared from the
cities (though other retailers still
stock seeds for the window-sill
set). In their place, "garden cen-
ters" have been springing up -
huge, supermarket-style affairs
that cater to every garden whim.
Goldfarb's `first outlet of this
type, Harris• recalls, developed
25 years ago by accident when
Sunday drivers began stopping
by his firm's Long Island green-
houses. The fifth and latest' in
the firm's Eastern chain of "Ar-
cadian Gardens," however, was,
no accident. Spotted on a' New
Jersey highway, it cost approxi-
mately $1 milion and Harris ex-
pects 'to do $2,750,000 worth of
business there this year.
wings, according to ancient
Greek legend. He soared too
high and the sun melted the
wax-fixed wings sending him to
his death.
Leonardo da Vinci tried his
hand, at designing man-powered
flying machines in 1505 In 1900,
a Frenchman plummeted to• his
death by diving off the Eiffel
'Tower in a bat-like costume with
flapping wings.
The only successful man-pow-
ered flight recorded is that of
two German engineers who man-
aged to fly 200 yards in 1936 by
pedaling •a Weird, contraption.
Roughly, there are two British
approaches to the problem: the
fixed wing and the flaping wing.
A leading, wing-flapper is
Emiel Hartmann , a London
sculptor, who has designed what
he calls an "ornthopter" 'which
iously ' offers a light-weight ma-
chine design with an inflatable
wing operated, on the pedal' prin-
ciple.
The rules governing the $15,-
000 Kremer prize favor all-or-
nothing sportsmanship. Inflat-
able wings and oxygen masks
are out. No storing of energy
before take-off is allowed, except
a deep breath. Also, "no part of.
the machine shall be' jettisioned
during any part of the flight."
There is no limit to the num-
ber of crew, but "no crew' mem-
ber shall be perMitted to leave
the aircraft any time during
take-off or, flight."
Attempts are to be made over
level ground and in "still air,"
defined as a wind up to 10 knots,
and the aircraft must be in cOn-
tinuous flight over the entire
course.
Archdeacon Used
Stolen Sermons!
The Reverend Dr. Pale' began
to mount the pulpit steps. There
was a sound of suppressed laugh-
ter from the under-graduate eon-
gregatian of Christ's •College as
he missed the first step, stumbled,
recovered himself, and then,
dropped his sermon tiole:?;'
Dr. Paley glared at the congre-
gation. Silence fell. He began,
The sermon was good, very good.
Throughout, the preacher read
from his notes, His voice was
uneven and whenever he made a
gesture it Came near to being
ridiculous,
Later that Sunday the Doctor
received several theology stu-
dents in his rOPM5f
"That was a very fine sermon
you preached this morning,"
said one pale youth.
"Yes," replied Dr, Paley, "It
was one I stole."
"One you stole, sir?" gasped
the scandalized youth,
"Certainly," snapped the Doc-
tor, "I make one sermon and
steal five."
"But, sir," protested the out-
raged-candidate for Holy Orders,
"don't you break a command-
'ment? Isn't it against your con-
science to pass as yours the ser-
mons of other divines?"
Dr. Paley shrugged, "I can't
afford to keep a conscience, my
boy," he admitted.
Nobody could quite understand
Dr. William Paley. After a brilli-
ant performance in the examina-
tion halls he had. become a great -
figure in• the academic life of
Oxford.
He had an international reputa-
tion as an author who wrote
learned works on theology, philo-
sophy and ethics. In fact, one of
his books,• "Evidences of Christ-
ianity," was compulsory reading
for any youth aspiring to enter
the university.
When Dr. Paley was a youth,
his father, the headmaster of
Giggleswick Grammar School,
Yorkshire, gave him this bit of
advice. "Take care ,of thy money,
lad."
The. schoolmaster 'believedin
the destiny of his brilliant son.
"He will be a great man," he.
proPhesied, "for he' hai the clear-
est head I ever met with."
When the learned Doctor stalk-
ed into the offices of the book-
sellers' - for in the eighteenth
century it was the booksellers
who did the publishing - they
looked on him as ripe for a raw
deal. A Reverend gentleman, a
scholar from Oxford. What would
he know about business?
How wrong they were!
"We have read your learned
treatise, Doctor," said one book-
seller to whom he had submitted
a manuscript On moral philoso-
phy, "but, alas, for such works
there is but a limited public.
Even so, I am prepared to offer
you $1500 for the copyright."
Dr. Palei rose in wrath, up
set his chair and blundered to-
wards the astonished bookseller.
,"Give me my manuscript" he
shouted. "Five hundred pounds,
you say. Robbery!"
Later, Dr. 'Paley wrested no
less than $3,000, from another
bookseller, who profited well, as
did the Doctor, 'for the book
went through fifteen editions!
A strange man indeed was the
great Dr. Paley. When he rode a
horse through the streets of Ox-
ford he frequently fell off. When
he dined at High Table he Often
upset his wine and, sometimes
even.broke his glass. He was in-
ordinately ,clumsy in everything
.1edid In due course,Dr. Paley died,
full of honeuri. The years rolled
on, and generation after genera-
tion of students went into the
bookseller's shop to buy the Doc-
tor's "Evidences of Christianity,"
without knowledge of which' it
was impossible to enter the uni-
versity.
One day Hallam, the great
friend of Lord Tennyson, point-
ed out that he had spotted large
paa'sages from the• writings of
the great German scholar, Puf-
fendort in one of Dr, Paley's
works.
Then sotiething curious hap-
pened.
In 1750 a German saholar,
Nieui,Ventyt, had published a -
learned work; '-Religious Philo-
sophy." It had been translated
into English, but had been a dis-
Mal flop and was soon forgetten
until a odd copy turned up.
