MITCB1eT T, Comniaaiosera.. ° DWt4S-3-E Grace Before Meat • Several times in the paper recently we have seen articles written on this subject. We are quite convinced that the habit of saying grace before we par- take of the•meal which: the Lord has provided for`us is fast beeom•- ing historybut there are still many home in which the custom 'is re.. tained. A patient in a. hospital recently said; "If ray tray is brought. in while I have visitors 1 always' ash' who ever is there, to ask God's' blessing on the food and never once has anyone been unable to say !'Grace". , Al minister to whom she was speaking said "Well, that is remarkable". Then he went on to say he never visited . hs a home and had a meal there but what someone asked the blessing. usually it was himself, but in many cases Ire did not know whether it was asked whenhe was not there or whether it: was omitted. Is the bles- sing asked in your home before - you eat any meal of the day? Some of us can remember in our young days visiting- in homes where the head of the house very reverent- ly asked God to bless the food..I recall when a very young.ehild visi- ting in such a home and at the close of grace being said the father of the home said=<to. one of the children, "Janet, while I was•'asking the blessing yon were looking over the table to see what you would ask for first". Afterwards in speaking to my Mother about it, for we were taught to close our eyes when the blessing was being . asked, I' said. "How did be know Janet was looking over the table if his eyes were closed when he was talking to God.". Is it right to teach +children to. ask the -blessing? If they are not trainedin, their, tender years how are they going to know what to. say as hey grow older? These are many' ffathers. who shirk this res. ponsiblity entirely. They have not accepted Christ and are like people in lands, where Christ un isow n. Theysit down to a .meal which God has provided for them and, be- gin to 'eat without. any ;acknowledge- silent of thanks to the God who has given them everythingrthey possess. The mother in some eases is a 'Christian and is anxious that her ;sons and daughters will grow up to acknowledge God and will train the children to say "Grace". Would you not think the father would be ashamed? .01 -ie visits a home like that and -sits down to a meal with. a sense of pity for the hpsband and father. Fathers you have. assumed the responsibility of parent hood. You, with your wife must account to God for at least theearly train- ing of your children. How can you Make that accounting if you neglect Ilam in the • home? What -a wonderful memory it is for us' •as we recall those, very tender moments when • ilVfother or Father first taughtus to say our prayer. It usually began., "Now I lay onedown to sleep F pray the Lord my soul to keep If 1 should die before I wake I pray the Lord my. soul to take. , It may be that the dear one who taught us that has been for many years in the glory land, but the PEG' Lord's Prayer together with the thought contained in those four lin- es- have been the foundation of all our prayers. , A simple table prayer which may be used for children is.. "Our. Heavenly Father we acknow- ledge Thy .goodness and ask for Thy blessing on the food which we are about to partake Amen As children grow alder they should be encouraged to add their own "supplication to the ,prayer they have ,been taught. It is somewhat difficult to form a prayer or as grace for one who has come to the age of understanding. To those who have. not accepted' Christ it is merely a form, but when we have answered the knock by Jesus 'at the door of our hearts then we will have no difficulty in thanking Him for all His gracious goodness to us. A grace before meals . prayer which could be used as a foundation for adults could be the following or something similar. Our. Heavenly Father it is with a spirit of thanksgiving that webow humbly in Thy presence. We are grateful for the :food which Thou has supplied for us.. Will Thou bless this food to our use and us to Thy service Amen Dare .we sit down to a meal with- out thanking God for it when we think . of the thousands of people who to -day are at the point of star- Ireton? tar-ration? WO ,are careless, ungrate- ful _and indifferent to the sorrows. and troubles of others if we can do so. We read so many times, in the letters from our ,brave boys and girls overseas that they have' shared, their -boxer from home with' children and families in France, holland and: Bengium. With what, gratitude they receive it and bow thankful they are for it, and yet we will partake of a good meal here and will not leven thank Goal for it or •ackaow- ledge Ilis goodness in keeping our land free from the i der. What hat are we thinking abou // ,. Wewonder how He cane er rho/any kindness towards us. Our, Saviour is a God' of 'love. If we would only realize that how much happier we would be. In oldenWiles it, was indeed a 'home of avickedness where the bless- ing was not asked and. they, had much less for, which to be thankful' than we, have. How ungrateful we are! At times children. have .grown to manhood and 'womanhood in a home where the blessirg has always been asked. Then they have married and gone into a home cf their own. Either one has not been used to having "Grace" said with the, consequence that•in that home : the blessing is never asked. Young men and youn g women when youjoin hands,' in wedlocic always take God into your ,nine with. you. May He be at your table and may. He through you bless the :food of which you are about to partake. Then there conies the question! of eating in restaurants or other public places: Does that need to s o n us from ,asking God's blessing on our: food? Will we 'show to those around us that, we are followers of Christ or are we going to tell them isamegareasasaii in our attitude that we are ashamed of Him? It should not mutter what those around think of us:. It is out duty as a believer in our risen Lord to bow our head and ask His bless- ing on us and' on the food Be has given us. May God forgive us if we ever sit down in any -public place to eat what, Christ has supplied for us and do not thank Hirai for it. We deserve nothing better than those poor soul's who are suffering prac- tical starvation in the war zones, They are enduring such hardships because they happened to be in the path of, Hitler. How thankful they. would be if they could hays one good meal like we have and yet we take it ail for granted. The following story came but in one of our • daily papers recently. There : is an example of saying grace that came: to my ndtiee while attending University of Toronto which has never left me. A Japane`se Canadian, a member of my year and a most able .student, 'vas often un- avoidably late for luncheon, at which meal no formal' grace was offered at Burwaslr Hall. Yet in the presence of the professors at the high table, and •surrounded by hundreds of loW students from various' faculties; he would, bowhis head and quietly offer thanks for the meal.I never. observed any 'other person in that dining hall copy his example. My conclusion was that this Jap- anese -Canadian under graduate Thai more conscience and normal courage than the rest,of us. "I cannot understand the care That keeps me safe from; every harms I only know I: rest within The shelter of His Arm, I cannot see the mighty power Godmanifests uponKis throne I only know my hand is held Safe clasped within His. own."

That blunt statement may come as a surprise, to, sante Canadian readers, but on examination there will be found sound common sense to back it up. Germany emerged from the last war with. its industrial capacity, un- scratched. -Tis fact the war streng- thened that capacity, broadening it and renewing it. w Contrast the sitdation this •time, Factories :an T d transportation systems have been completely -des- troyed. It will take years to rebuild the of some of them are ever built. The same will .be true of Japan ;be- fore this conflict is over. ' We will have to watch. Germany; and Japan, but. provided we do this intelligently; there will be little to fear 'from that quarter. The real menace, as this Washington obser- ver points . out, would be a serious rift" among the ` victors, • and es- pedally any that might tend to throw erre of our main allies into an alliance with either . Germany or Japan. That danger must be 'avoided at all costs. It can be avoided! Hpresent war- time -co-operation artime.-co-operation lis continued into the peace. .It can be, continued pro- vided each of the big"powers take the other into its fullest and frank- est confidence, A real and perman- ent , •understanding: between Great Britain, the: United States and Rus- sia is ' absolutely essential if the world is to rid of war. s How Many Jobs Do You Offer? • (From Financial Post) Whaley Eaton Service reports tint, a U. S. industrialist is suggesting that, while Government-owned plant should be leased on competitive bids, the bids should not be in terms of money, but •"in terms of the number of jobs 'iwhioh each bidder would guarantee to provide." The bidder would put up nothing more than the operational capital for, say, a year or possibly merely a &eerier- mance bond. One argument advanced for this scheme is that it would prevent the acquisition of plants for the purpose of closing them down. All such novel devices, which promise to foster high levels of employment have their attraction. In Canada, all major parties aro. i "fall - committed to full em kazren-t" p oy policies. The public- temper of our time will not again tolerate masse unemployment. But there is something very much more important and infinitely more rewarding in providing jobs for all the Canadians' who after the war will require them than •special devic- es and fresh restraints like that suggested by the ll. S. industrialist. That is making enterprise at- tractive; providing the incentive to expand business or start new busi- hess. That means fostering •a busi- ness climate in -which enterprise has a reasonable chance of success; giving the enterpriser reasonable assurance that the rules of the game won't be changed while the game is in progress and that his business will not be crippled or killed off by government decree or an overload' of taxes some years hence just as it is about to arrive at the point :of•sue-I `No delusion is greater than the notion that method and indo,st-y can make up for lack of mother wit, either in science • or in , practi- cal life.—T.
