",And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilder- ness, even so must the Son of roan be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in 'Him' should not perish, but have 'everlasting life."

The great neglect of my life has been that I was so many years be- fore I gave any heart to God. I was about twenty-five when I with spine other young men attended an Evan- -genetic service conducted by two not- ed Christian men. At the close of the talk .one of the men tame down and spoke to us. Two 'out of the five that night acknowledged Christ as their Saviour, but the others of which I was one just laughed. That night I could not sleep, my conscience bother ed me. My memory went back to the times my dear Mother, now Iong in the Glory Land, used to talk to me about the higher things of life and I could see her lovely face as she would say, `May God Grant that you will see it before it is too late, for if you do not accept Him, you willhave to spent Eternity apart for Slim, and in the region ruled over by the devil.'

For this region the ceil- ing prices become effective en Aug 7 for peaches and plums and on August 14 for peass. On there dates the ceiling prices are applicable to both domestic and imported fruit of this type.

Hello Homemakers! We are really doing 'a thorough inspection job der-, ing canning operations. Safeguarding rho food that is being stored in jars means rigid inspection of each step in hone preserving. Vegetables require special attention. If.you did not can any of the veg- etables at the beginning- of the sea- son you may want to store some of the second crop in sealers. Although acid vegetables each as, pickled beets, red peppers and tomatoes are readily processed in boiling -water bath, the non-acid vegetables should be done in a pressure co°oker. However, if you, have stnalI jars with a perfect seal, success maybe assured by the water bath method, if every precaution is used. Important :canning rules for the safety of vegetables are: o pea= a per ec sea ;. e jar rim and top matt he smooth, even , no nicks, no imperfections. 2.

Honey Ceiling Prices In order to: clarify some misunder- standings thsit have arisen in con- nection with the new ceiling , prices of honey, W. Harold McPhillips, pri- ma and supply representative for Western 'Ontario, has stated the pri- ces the consumer can be charged in the purchase of No. 1 grade white honey.' The maximum price of this grade of honey when sold inbulk, is .15e a pound. when it is packed in a one pound glass container, the ceil- ing price is .240; in a two pound glass container, the ceiling price is .46e. Two pounds of No. 1 grade white honey, packed in any type of container other than glass' has a maximum • price of .42c. The ceilinp price of comb honey in stau- dard• sections, 4 inches by 414 in- ches'or 4 inches by 5 inches, is .40c. ammunition for hunters is expected to be small this year, according to information released by the War- time Prices and Trade Board. A limited amount of small arms am munition -will • be given sportsmen after September 1, but .sales will be made by permit only. Permits will not be made .available before August 15, and will be issued only for guns registered permanently in Canada. Comb Honey According to a recent announce- ment made by W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontario, comb , honey has been removed from the list of ration - td preserves, when it is offered for sale in standard sections 414 inches by 44 inches, or 4 inches by 5 inches.. Cut comb honey, however, and ex tracted honey are still listed as rationed commodities, on the basis of two pounds per preserves coupon. Mr. McPhillips also announced that special vouchers for the purchase of honey by mail order can be seem- ed from local ration boards in ex- change for four preserves eoupons, each voucher being good for the mail order purchase of eight pounds of honey. v Small Arms Aniniunition Owing to the requirements of farmers who must use ammunition Beekeepers Must Register Beekeepers who produce 4,000 " pounds of honey or mine annually, must register with their nearest branch of the Ration A nsinistra. tion, in Kitchener, London or Wind- sor, and must file a months sales report. Anyone who produces less than that amount of honey annually must register with his local ration board. Registrations may be made either by snail or in person. Those who registered from last year are not required to do so again this year; but they are still expected to make their monthly reports on honey sales and ration coupons collected, in ac- cordance with the instructions issued by the above mentioned office.
