Nazi U-boat crews are acquiring a healthy respect for patrol
planes of the R.C.A.F. who scout Canada's east coast as the toll of
subs sunk or damaged mounts daily. The crew shown here reported
the most recent successful attack in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. "The
depth charges functioned correctly"—was their laconic report. "Skip-
per" of the aircraft was Flying Officer R. S. Keetley, of ?'inose Jaw,

Some Good Advice
On Wood Cutting
"On farms where wood is still
burned it is a good plot to get the
trees felled, trimmed and skidded
as soon as fall ploughing is fin-
ished, so these logs can be easily
got at to draw them to the wood
yard near the house," says the
Hon. Duncan Marshall. "The days
of cutting wood with cross -cut
saws is over—it now is being done
by a small circular saw rigged in
a frame for the purpose. Once
the logs are at the wood yard it
only means a few hours of a wood
bee to cut them. Get this done
early and the blocks can be split
easiest when they have had some
heavy frost. Much better, of
course, if the wood is green. Live
trees should be cut only, however,
when there are no dead ones in
the wood lot to cut. A small piece
of bush is a fine asset to any farm
and saves an annual expenditure
for fuel that seems to be growing
larger. Everything should be
ready for winter this year, as
1942 will- be remembered as •a
good year on the land."

come of evil, but overcome evil

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—The martyrdom of Ste-
phen tool: place, probably, A.D.
36. The Apostle Paul wrote the
Epistle to the Romans A,D. 60.
Place.—Stephen was martyred
in the city of Jerusalem. The
Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle
from which a passage is taken
for this lesson to the Christian
church situated in Rome, the great
capital of the Roman Empire.
Renew The Mind
1. "I beseech thee therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual service.'
As Paul undertakes to describe
the Chrsitian life, he begins with
the body which has so much to do
with the life we lead.
2. "And be not fashioned ac-
cording to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove
}what is the good, the acceptable
and perfect will of God." We
are according to what we think
and .when our mind is renewed
or changed, then we are changed.
The result is that we are enabled
to test and determine what is
God's good and acceptable and
perfect will for us. Anything
less than, or contrary to, the will
of God is not for our good, is not
pleasing to Goci and is not com-
plete.
Measure of Faith
3. "For I say, through the
grace that was given me, to every
man that is among you, not to
think of himself more highly than
he ought to think; but so to think

as to think soberly, according as
God hath dealt to each man a
measure of faith," The wise and
prudent man will remember that
his position in the community is
dependent not on any merit of
his own, but on the measure of his
faith, and that faith is the gift
of God.
Life Among Believers
9(a). "Let love be without
hypocrisy," Christians are not to
love others by merely saying they
do, hnd then living in such a way
that it is clear they do net, but
they are to love men in truth,
9(b), "Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good."
This admonition is Something for
us to do. It requires an effort,
Humanly speaking, it is so easy to
cleave to the evil and let go the
good. But if the spirit of God
indwells us, we will, by our new
nature, shrink from the evil and
we will plan our life so that good-
ness may attend our way and call
vs to a higher place of life.
Brotherly Love
10. "In love of the brethren be
tenderly affectionate one to an-
other; in honor preferring one an-
other," Christians should love
each other with the same sincerity
and tenderness as if they were the
nearest relatives.
11. "In diligence not slothful;
fervent in spirit; serving the
Lord." There is nothing so in-
excusable in the Christian life as
indolence in the service of Christ.
12. "Rejoicing in hope; patient
in tribulation; continuing sted-
fastly in prayer." Hope, patience
and prayer are not only duties
but the richest sources of con-
solation and support.
Virtue of Hospitality
13. "Communicating to the
necessities of the saints; given to
hospitality." From the very be-
ginning hospitality was recog-
nized as one of the most import-
ant of Christian duties. The
Christians looked upon themselves
as a body of nnen scattered
throughout the world, living an
aliens among strange people, and
therefore bound together as the
members of a body, as the breth-
ren of one family. The practical
realization of this idea would de..
nand that whenever a Christian
went from one place to another
he should find a home among the
Christians. One necessary part
of such intercommunion would be
the constant carrying out of the
duties of hospitality.
14. "Bless them •that persecute
you; bless, and curse not." Per
a perfect illustration of this truth
in our Lord's own life, see Luke
23:34.
15. "Rejoice with them that re-
joice; weep with them that weep."
Christians must never think that
concern for our spiritual life
should ever lead to indifference
to the experiences of other people.
16. "Be of the same mind one
toward another. Set not your
minds on high things, but con-
descend to things that are lowly."
For communities and for indivi•
duals the cherishing of the spirit
of amity and concord is a condi-
tion without which there will be
little progress in Christian life.
Life In Man's World •
17. "Render to no mean evil for
good. Take thought for things
honorable in the sight of all men."
Do not' drift into inconsistency,
Watch against what others may
fairly think to be unchristian in
you.
18. "If it be possible, as much
as in you lieth, be at peace with
all men." To keep the peace will.
be hard at times but it will be
worthwhile.
19, "Avenge not yourselves, be.
loved, but give place unto the
wrath of God: for it is written,
vengeance belongeth unto me; I
will recompense • saith the Lord."
God has long ago settled the whole
matter by exacting justice from
wrong -doers. Not one will escape.
In every case perfect justice will
be done.
Victory of Love
20, "But if thine enemy hun-
ger, feed hint; if he thirst, give
him to drink: for in so doing thou
shalt heap coals of fire upon his
bead." In thus doing you will be
taking the most effectual von-
, geance; the idea of vengeance be-
ing 'transformed' so as to become
in fact the 'victory of love.'
21. " Be not overcome of evil,
but me vil god."

On Christmas Eve bells will
ring out over the city of Toronto
and over the national network of
the C 11 C belis from the
Hart House carillon in the Sol-
diers' Tower, J. Leland Richard -
eon, well known earilloneur will
play the twenty-three bells of the
Memorial Tower commencing at
7.16 p,m. Mr. Richardson studied
the art of the carillon in Belgium,
one of the oldest homes of the
bell and bell -playing, and it is
said that he has committed to
memory more than a thousand
melodies of the bells. Somehow
or other we always associate
Christmas Eve with the pealing
of bells, dere will be an appro-
priate opportunity to enjoy a
charming prelude to the Day of
the Great Festival itself.
*
Another highlight pf Christmas
Eve will be the singing of "Silent
Night" and "Adeste Fidelis" dur-
ing the Music Hall programme
which gets under way at 9 p.m.
and will be heard over the facili-
ties of the C.B.C. The singer of
these charming carols will be
none other than that dean of
vocal melody, Bing Crosby. Some
time ago when Bing was asked to
record these well known hymns,
he was a bit worried about public
reaction to the singing of sacred
music by an artist whose name is
associated with popular songs,
However he was soon to be re-
assured. The sale of the records
was soon to top that of any other
records Bing had ever made. Last
year the profits from these record-
ings were used by him to finance
entertainment for soldiers . a
generous gesture.
The big highlight of the Christ-
mas Day programme will be, of
course, the all -world broadcast
scheduled from 9 to 10.15 a.m.
It is one of the most pretentious
productions ever scheduled in the
sphere of radio broadcasting, will
provide pickups from five contin-
ents, and may be heard from
practically every broadcasting sta-
tion operating in countries where
the English language is spoken or
extensively understood. The pro-
gramme is patterned to reveal tc
the world at large .the manner in
which the United Nations are, ob-
serving Christmas DaylP As just
a few of the special features it
will include interviews with fight-
ing men in China, Russia and
North Africa. It will portray a
workers' playtime period in a busy
factory of England, .It will bring
carols from en Anglican Cathe-
dral. It will take you to a sol-
diers' party in London, a Scottish
celebration in the Land o' the
Heather, as well as to bring mes-
sages of Christmas goodwillor-
iginating in Canada,' South Africa,
New Zealand and India. From
mercilessly bombed Malta, that
unsinkable aircraft -carrier of the.
mid -Mediterranean as it is called,
will come the good cheer of a
children's Christmas party. The
presentation will conclude with "a
message from a distinguished
leader of the British Empire. His
identity will be made known
later." " So at least promises an
official bulletin. Who will it be?
Two guesses, and you can hardly
be wrong.
The All Star Christmas party
of the Columbia Broadcasting
System announced from 4 to 6
jr.m. Christmas Day will certainly
be sky-high in popular appeal toe.
Already some of the best known
entertainers of the North Ameri-
can ether waves are scheduled to
participate. Under the well known
M.C. Don Ameche such popular
artists as Bob Hope, Bette Davis
and Abbott and Costello will be
brought to the microphone in a
programme which promises scin-
tillating entertainment, Very ap-
propriately it's named the "All
Star" Christmas party. CFRB,
Toronto will carry the show.

And lest we forget. The day
after Christmas is always one
when we all sort of sit back and
relax after the pressure of the
Festive Season, Even Santa
Claus, we imagine wants to take
it easy fon a day or two after his
busy activities. It is specifically
to Santa Claus, and to thousands
of C.B.C. listeners as well, that
Songstress Gail Meredith,.. Satur-
day evening 7.15, will dedicate a
programme of "Songs to Remem-
ber" . those quiet old loveable
melodies of which we never tire
and very appropriate to the
after Christmas "mood."

THE BOOK SHELF
THERE IS TODAY
By Josephine Lawrence
Josephine Lawrence has given
us an American couple who can
be found today in every city and
town in America—a couple with
courage and faith who are faced
with the problem of whether to
snatch what happiness they can
before the service calls or to post-
pone marriage for the uncertain
duration. She surrounds her
couple with kindly and unkindly
neighbors that include hoarders,
hysterical club -women war work-
ers, engaged couples, and the out-
standing figure of Mrs. Toni
Fitts who would rather parade,
wear a uniform, serve on corn,
mittees, do up bundles for far
away places than keep house for
her husband or help the poor.
Candace and Andy, who bravely
marry with the draft staring them
in the face, crowd their happiness
into the months that remain be-
fore the dreaded hour when Andy
is milled. Scrimping and saving
to snake both ends meet, their
baby Michael is born to them just
a few days before Andy is in-
ducted
nducted into the service.
That charity begins at home
and that young couples are en-
titled to marriage and a share of
happiness: in spite of the war is
the main theme of Miss Law-
rence's tender yet realistic novel
of America today.
