R.BBatelay Warren The Gospel Moves Westward Acts 13; 4-5; 14; 1-3, 19-23. Golden Text:- And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles: Acts 14: 27. One of the most thrilling stories to be found anywhere is that of the apostle Paul on his missionary tours. He was chosen of God to take the Gospel to the nations other than the Jews. On Cyprus, the dep- uty desired to hear the word of God. A false prophet sought to turn the deputy from the faith, The boldness of Paul's ministry is illustrated in the manner in which he addressed the sorcerer, "0 full of all subtility and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all.righteous- ness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the stat for a season." Pod was a man of indomitable courage. In Antioch and Iconium he told the Glad Tidings and many be- lieved but the unbelieving Jews raised up opposition against them and drove them forth, At Lystra we have a striking euample of the fickleness of human nature. At first, the heathen, impresed by the healing of a cripple, sought to sacrifice to Paul and Barnabas, regarding them as gods. But later, persuaded by Jews from Antioch and Tconium, they stoned Paul, dragged Mm out of the city, and left him, supposing that he was dead. But Paul wasn't dead. He got up the next day went on to another city telling of Jesus Christ, the mighty to save. Then he returned, visiting the cities from which he had been driven, "confirm- ing the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God." Yes, here was the man who had persecuted the church, changed in heart. Now, moved by Cod's great love, he devotes his strength to tell others the Good News of Salvation. May Be Means of Saving Your Life As part of tine nation wide in- formation service designed to com- bat the increasing nnunher of un- necessary deaths from cancer, Canada'., first cancer information centre was officially opened verettth in Toronto, His Worship, the Mayor of Tor- onto, officially opened the LiTTLE RED DOOR, located at 809 Yonge Street.. Little Red Door is the name given to the cancel information centres which have been success- fully operated in the United States for some years, and it is hoped that the Toronto centre will be the fore- runner of similar centres throughout other parts of the Dominion, A graduate nurse, Miss Ruth Cont- eron, will be in attendance. The centre was opened recently with the approval of the Canadian Medical Association, Experts agree that many lives could be saved in Canada each year if the public realized the necessity for precautionary measures and preventive examinations, and it is hoped that every man, woman and child will benefit from information obtained at the Little Red Door. As part of her duties at the new centre, Miss Cameron will melee available to the public all infortna- tion, booklets and other material pertaining to cancer control, will interview patients and refer those requiring care to hospitals and clinics, The opening of the first informa- tion centre in -Canada was made pos- sible through the untiring efforts of the Toronto Women's Committee of the Canadian Cancer Society under the chairmanship of Mrs, Egmont L.

And then along comes Louis Bromfield, well- known author, and owner of Mal- - ober Farm in Ohio, and tells a Canadian audience that bad farm- ers are largely responsible for low farm prices and that "during the next' 25 or 30 years bad farmers will be eliminated, leaving only the farmer who is a scientist, a special. 1st and a business -man," From other reports we notice a trend towards encouraging farm- ing of a large scale. Does that mean the gradual ousting of the 100 - acre farmer? Surely there is room for both types.. In business we have our Baton's and Simpson's; Woolworth's and Kresge's-all of whom help promote competition. Fut where would we be without our small town merchants ... or without our small acreage farmers? We think the farmer should make every effort to be a good business- man -on a small scale. But de- liver us from commercial farming as a pattern for agriculture. We might as well have collective farm- ing and done with it. There are many large farms in Ontario, with beautiful barns, wonderful live- stock and the very latest in ma- chinery. They are the show win- dows of agriculture, and we are proud that Canada can boast of so many. Yet it is the small farmers who are responsible for the bulk of agricultural products, It was the small farmer to whom the govern- ment appealed for increased pro - 'duction during the war years; and also --in the post-war period th feed the !Hungry peoples of the world. Now there is a surplus •of farm produce in this country, and we are told, in effect, that the farm- er must learn to shift for himself and not depend upon government support or government subbsidies. .Well, 1101 all" farmers want sub- sidies anyway -we realize only too well .that we help pay for ,them. But neither do we like this idea of kicking a man when he is down. Falling markets are bad enough but to insinuate that farmers have been short-sighted and are theni- selves to -blains, is adding insult to injury. It makes me think of the plight of an old soldier in Kip- ling's Barrack "Room Ballads- "I done my six years' service, 'Er Majesty sez: 'Good day- c You'll please to come when you're rung for, Aind 'ere's your 'ole bacic pay; And fourpence a day for baccy- an' bloomin' generous, too; An' now you can make yer fortune - The same as your officers do." Farmers, too, have done their yearts of service -so now they can be discharged and left to their own devices. But if there should be an- other war -then the farmer would get a lot of back -patting once again, and the old soldier be encouraged to rejoin the army, There is ' another aspect 1 don't e p like In the present mix -up -and that is the depressing effect it must have on the younger generation. For years, now, everything has been done to encourage young folk to stay of .the farm. $n fact, we had come to the place when the rising generation was beginning to realise AM /denting weight not be such a bad idea after all. But what encour- agement is there now, when almost every day something comes to light which seems to spell blue ruin for the farmer? Personally, I don't think things are that bad, because there is more to farming than dollars and cents, but that knowledge is something which comes only with the passing of time. - Some years ago Partner and I at- tended a meeting near here. I think it was in the 30's. We listened to several speakers telling farmers how to get the best returns for their work -just as we are being told today. Then Professor Graham, formerly of the 0.A.C., spoke briefly. Dr. Gra- ham did not -dwell on the problems confronting farmers but stressed the fact that "farming was a way of living." There was more inspiration in his few remarks than- in all that had been said before. It may be nec- essary for a farmer to be a scientist, a specialist, and a business -man, but he is also an idealist and a philoso- pher -or he wouldn't be a farmer. And his idealism, and his philosophP of life will carry him over the bumps , when science, specialization and business ability have let hhn down. I was amused when I read in the paper that Louis Bromfield was pre- sented by the Canadian Author's As- sociation with a copy of Peter Mc - Arthur's "In Pastures Green," , I wondered what these two would have in common -Louis Bromfield, farm efficiency expert; and Peter.' McArthur, well -loved friend and champion of the ordinary, everyday farmer. He, too, believed in farming "as a way of living."

Behind a public house at \Vinton, Bournemouth, 'Mrs. T. C. George works every day for a few hours in dungerees and a turban, building a permanent shrine to the memory of Battle of Britain pilots who were stationed in the area during the war. She does all the work herself and. not until 1952 does she expect to complete the tiny chapel which will be 12ft, long . and 8ft, high. The walls are of breeze blocks and ce- ment. Wood for the roof will be part of beds used in the hotel's air-raid shelter. The whole of the shrine, inside and out, will be covered with mosaic made from fragments of pottery in soft green and tosrquoise blue, Mrs. George told a reporter, 'When completed, it will not be a public showpiece.

Good -day, sis'l" Twice As Shy As The Chickadee Arnong the winter birds which patronize a feeding station, few have a more ingratiating manner than the little downy woodpeckers. They are like bright-eyed, shy, slightly awk- ward youngsters trained to mind their manners and watch their words, They are dressed in black and white bib -and -tucker, and the boys among them have red caps. They come to the grain board in swooping, little bursts ' of flight perch there, look around, and choose perhaps one seed. Then they spot the suet. That is their meat, literally. They work around it like acrobats, in every conceivable position, pre- ferably upsidedown. And then they are off again,'usually to the nearest apple' tree, where. their. chisel -beaks probe unerringly to the dormant larvae of borers waiting for spring. The downy is only a little larger than a chickadee; but he is' twice as shy. He comes seldom to the feeder when other birds are there, and he.. is one of the few birds which sel- raise a ruckus over food. Perhaps he knows that there is enough, ' if not plenty, to be had by working for it in any orchard, even in win- ter, Certainly he is not one to take all his steals at the free counter; he comes and goes as he pleases, even at the suet box. And he is provident enough to find himself a hone in a hollow tree ,and spend the winter nights in that snug shelter: If there ,is valid criticism of the dowdy it is' that he is too. quiet. His song is'simple, with no more -than a dozen notes all told. But it is a sweet song, 'double sweet in winter, and.its quality is good cheer, Perhaps it seems so sweet simply because w , have to wait and listen Hunn'idifler Evaporation of hater from in- visible pores of lightweight ceramic material maintains proper humidity in dry air or dry roosts, claims the manufacturer.
