For more than half a century, the tele.;
phone has served trice fanner well.... in
business ... in emergencies'.... in more
pleasant living.
There was the farmer, for example,
who wrote that his telephone enabled
him to get better prices for his crops.
"It gets me to market in a few
seconds," he said, "and at the best time."
Today, the number of rural tele-
phones is at ad all-time high. When
materials and man -power are again
available, it will be much higher. Tele-
phone service for farms will be even
better than ever before.

trampled upon? We think not, for •t
man of his cruelty both to his own
people and to his enemies could
have no regard for a piece of colored
cotton or silk which represented
everything which should have been
pure, and true and loyal in his
country.
Back .to the very early days of the
history of any country one can trace
the flags Referring to ourselves we
can recall how as little children,
May twenty-fourth was one of the
great days in our lives. In the early
morning some of us at least used to
take an• annual fishing trip with our
father, then we came home to"a
flag decorated house where we
spent some time setting off fire
crackers (I can remember hat at
that time matches were put up in
blue paper boxes, those were good
old days!) Then following -lunch we
were togged up in our Sunday go to
meeting clothes 'and were allowed
to parade the near by streets with
our flag. We were taught in our
earliest childhood to respect the
flag of our country.

headed by the words "Mac-

we ever have disregard for the
of any other nation? Yes, and
ust say deservedly so. Many
flags have been brought to
da and to every country whose
and women fought in the Great

for our freedom. Our troop -

During' recent months traitors
from different countries have been
tried for trlason. Had it not been -for
his age Philippe, Henri Petain, Mar-
otta! of France, would in all probab-
ility have been executed for this
cause. As it is he will spend the
rest of his natural life in prison:

men •but women who have Welt dis-
regard for their nation. The result
of that .betrayal made the world sick
at heart and very fearful the day
France capitulated. That day every
true Britisher will never forget.
We are told that when General
MacArthur enters , Tokyo he' will
take with him the American flag
which flew over the Capita/ of the
United States in Washington the
day Pearl Harbor was attacked. We
can well think of the joy which will
be in the hearts of the soldiers as it
is hoisted over the capital of the
conquered country`.
-There is one definite thing which
a flag represents to any country and
that is the allegiance- of the people
to her ruler. .
As soon as .people of any country
begin lb devide and quarrel among
themselves then their security as a
nation is undermined, civil war
springs up, one government follows
another but yet there is no peace. Let
us be loyal to our flag and the affairs
of our country will go much better.
Throughout the church services
and on the radio both on V -E and
V -J Days so often was heard that
beautiful rendition of Psalm 90:
"0 God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy :blast,
And our Eternal home."
Under the shadow of Thy throne
my saints have dwelt seeure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defence is sure.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come, -
Be Thou our guard while trouble last
And our Eternal home."
.There is a card on which is a
beautiful window depicting Christ as
a .Shepherd. In front of it is a table
on which a candle is casting its light
on a Bible. Beside the table evidently
standing on its staff in a corner is a
very fine Union Jack. Under the
picture is written "Faith of Our
Fathers."
There we have Christ, the Bible,
alight to show us the way and the
Flag of our Empire. There have
been times in World War II when
our enemies, lad it not been for God,
would. have trampled our flag under
their feet, times when we could
very easily have fallen under their
power; there have been occasions
when God's Word has been burned
and torn asunder, but there has never
been a moment when Christ has not
been near to answer our eall of
distress.
To many of the men in tl.e ser-
vices the flag is one of the most
sacred things on Earth.,

On memorial days especially of
the soldiers -flags are carried and
placed en the graves of those who
laid down their lives for us. Does
it ever occur to us that there is a
memorial to Jesus Christ. That
memorial is the Lord's Supper.
There is another flag of which
we have not yet spoken. The flag
of the followers of Christ Jesus.
The same flag flies practically all
over the world. There is no power
which can tear it down. The re-
deemed, of all ages since Christ gave
His command to go into all the
world and preach the gospel are
under and protected by that flag
invisible though it is. No matter
what countries go to war, the flag
of Christ will never be torn down
or trampled under the feet of an
enemy. Eventually it will be Victor
over every flag.
We in Canada are proud to belong
to the British Empire and we have
to be, but are, we marching behind
the Christian flag? Do we belong
to the, forces which wit, one day
live Eternally with *.Christ in that
Horne where war will be unknown?
In the wars on 'Earth. i'nany of our
young men and young women have
laid down their lives in order that
we might have freedom from
tyranny, many of them will be bed
riders or, will carry wounds to the
end; of heir clays, but in the army
of the Lord there will be none of
that. Christ ;Himself has -paid the
supreme sacrifice For us and He has
*offered us free pardon for our.
sins. Will we accept it or will we
continue to march with the 'army of
the world? This is an individual
question. Let us settle it at once,
before it is too late. "PEG"

Slaughter Quotas
In setting quotas for domestic
slaughtering of hogs and cattle the
meat division of the Wartime Prices
and Trade Board has adopted "as a
general broad basis 75 per cent of
the hogs and 100 per cent of the
cattle slaughtered during the basic
period of 1941," according to a joint
statement issued by the Department
of Agriculture and the Wartime

cattle are being slaughtered that the
ration demand requires. '
It was pointed out, however, that
each permit holder will be required
to make weelcly reports to the Board
showing all animals killed.
