Yrs, after seven weeks with hardly a sprinkle we have actually been blessed with a real rain, We began to be afraid, doubting Thomases that we are, that although -sin was all around us it was going to pass us by. You see, that four -inch rain that drench- ed. Toronto Saturday night didn't come our way at all. It was Sun- day night before our turn caste, and believe one, it was like music in our ears to wake up and hear that steady downpour hitting the roof, the win- dowsn a d the front doorsteps. o steps. Some of it came inthe house too, but that was neither here nor there. It also filled the cistern to overflowing so now, for a month anyway, we shall have lots of nice soft water. Of course the rain is too late to help the pasturea much but it will certainly solve the fall wheat prob- lem for a good many farmers. It is still quite hot but I imagine a day or two will clear away the un- comfortable humidity and then we may have some nice fall weather, which will add to the enjoyment of those who are interested in at- tending local Fall Fairs, * * Yes, and next week we return to good old standard time so that In many ways we are getting back to a regular routine following the usual summer upheaval. And speak- ing of summer time, Partner amused me the other day by saying: "You know I wouldn't mind daylight sav- ing time at all if we load it in the winter instead of the summer. Seems to me we go back to standard time just when fast time would be some advantage to us." * . * And from fast and slow time problems we jump to how to save on hydro power. One solution is very simple but it will never be adopted. ',Ve could go back to a self-imposed curfew. We could try going to bed at 10 o'clock. Many of those in the sixty-ish class prob- ably do that anyway but what they save in electric lig't` the young folk burn up in half the time.

There was always something new and different to look forward to; a show was an event; a dance some- thing planned for several weeks ahead.

Instead we must have week -end shifts in industry; shut off the heaters, turn off the radio, put out the lights, save on the hotplates, stoves, heaters and ironing -save in every way pos- sible just so long as it does not interfere with anyone's pleasure.

And now here's a laugh against thyself. I had the kettle on to make a cup of tea. A few minutes ago, thinking the water should be boil- ing, I went out to the kitchen. The kettle was on all right but I had forgotten to turn on the heat. Now who dares to say that I don't practice what I preach! Wasn't I saving the hydro? &SWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 4.

R. Barclay Warren Biography in the Bible Genesis 11:31 to 12: 5; 17: 1-8. Golden Text -In all thy ways ac- knowledge c- knowled a bilk an shalldirect d he thy paths, -Proverbs 3:6. In every nation there have been individuals who helped to shape the course of history. To know the story of these persons is to know the biography of the nation. The choosing of Abram to illus- trate biography in the Bible is a happy one, Few names in history are respected by so many. He was the father and founder of the Jewish nation. Mohammedans ac- claim hint because he was the father of Ishmael from which the tribes of Arabs are decended. To Christians Ile is the `father of the faithful," Bible biographies are frank. There is no attempt to cover faults. Abrant's reference to his wife Sara as his sister, -even though she was his half -sister, --was an attempt to deceive. This was one instance of his lack of faith. However in other acts Abram showed great faith. In response to God's call he left Ur of the Chaldees, journeying to Can- aan, now called Palestine. This land was promised to Abram and his seed for an everlasting possession, But greater than this \4as the prom- ise, "Thou shalt be a blessing -and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed." This is being fulfilled through Jesus Christ, who is a descendant of Abram according to the flesh. Abraham was called to be perfcrt. It was a perfection according to God's standard acid not man's. It was not a perfection of mind but of motive. It is similar to Jesus' state- ment "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ser God." /-low Can 1?
