A PRAYER FOR AIRMEN 0 Thou within whose sure control The surging planets onward roll, Whose everlasting arms embrace Tlta sons of every clime and race: Hero Thou, 0 Lord, a nation's prayer For these Thy children of the air! Thou at the impulse of whose will A troubled Galilee grew still, Thy chart and compass shall provide Deliverance from storm and tide: Hear Thou, 0 Lord, a nation's prayer For these Thy rangers of the air! Across the ocean, dread and deep, Above the forest's lonely sweep, Or when through serried clouds they rise And hidden are from mortal eyes; Hear Thou, 0 Lord, a nation's prayer For Thy crusaders of the air! Uphold their shining argosies Upon the vast ethereal seas; r:compass Thou their valiant wings in all their brave adventuring; Har Thou, 0 Lord, a nation's prayer For these, Thy children of the air! —Written by Kathryn Munro in 1028.

APPLE JUICE, THE CANADIAN BEVERAGE Many authorities have called at- tention in the Press to the valuable qualities of Canadian .Apple Juice, saying that it is rich in vitamins and health giving but none, one thinks, has told •of its molt important function, namely its capacity for supplying the potassium lost by the muscles, after fatiguing and unusual exercise. Everyone has probably had the ex- perience of soreness and aching of the muscles after the first day's horseback riding, the early game of golf or of felling trees in the forest, This soreness is due to the loss of potassium sustained by the soft muscles. The only effective remedy is a supply of .potassium to fill the 1 gap. Each pint of apple juice contains Inine grains of potassium, an amount greater than that lost in the unusual ' exercise. The dealers in apple juice ! should print this information on the containers of this tasty and most ! valuable beverage incl thus increase the market for a valuable hone product, BUY BRITISH AND CANADIAN! S1'. I'ATIIICE'S DAY March 17th is St', Patrick's Day and Irish people all over the world will be celebrating. St. Patrick is the patron saint of the Irish race and has become for them and other peo- ples also a symbol of war against sin. The serpent was the creature which icr its evil conduct was condemned by the Creator to travel on its belly. Tradition tells us that St. Patrick lilt Scotland to become a missionary in the Emerald Isle and, discovering that there were snakes in the country in abundance, made up his mind to drive them out. Every son of Ireland Mumsucs the thrilling story of how he accomplished this. Another very unusual thing about. Ireland is the haunting beauty of its music. The ,Irish people have given to the world sad and plaintive mel- odies that are known and sung every- where, The harp is traditionally Irish anal that beautiful stringed instrum- ent has found a place not only on. the Irish flag but also on the Royal Standard. Unwieldly as it is to carry around, :it yet has its place in the hone of every family of distinction, in Ireland. In this country we erre familiar with it in stringed orchestras and the. email; portable harp may still be found in many homes front Beast t to coast. - There are about a million and a quarter people ct• frisk origin in Can- ada.

Comparatively speaking, there ere t net so many Irisin. in Canada as there used to be, it seems thab the Irish emigrant has been wandering to the - United States more than to Canada. 'the 11131 Census shows that there were only 108,000 in the coontry who were, born in Ireland, whereas there was 280,000 people born in Scotland turd 724;000 in Tngland.

The carr ing out of that sentence meant th Jesus Christ suffered all the agonie of a death on the cross in order tit each one of us might have an Etert happiness. For some time prior to his death on Mount Calvary Jesus had had as his closest companions twelve dis- ciples whom Hee had chosen to carry on His work when the time came that His Earthly ministry should be fihished. • Sad as it may seem there are many to -day who have very 1!ttle knowledge of either Jesus Christ or the twelve disciples. Several, at least, of these apostles were outstanding in their characters, and later had a large part to do in the inspired writ- ing of the Bible. Between Jesus and John, one of the youngest, there was a mutual bond of affection; Judas, who betrayed His master was among them and Peter, who denied his. Lord was noted for his imptilsivenesl. it is to Peter that we turn out thoughts to -day. n that we are saved, Then when w. 1- know we are saved when Jesus has al made things so simple and easy for st us 'why will we insist on sitting by oe the fire of the • enemy and ni re- maining silent when • we should be u y - at at Merit Although in. Peter's talk with Jesus he had declared "I will lay down my t life for Thy sake," yet when the time came when Jesus needed him most Ire tools refuge in the camp of the enemy. We believe that had it not been for John, the beloved disciple, that Peter would not have been al- lowed into the court at all, but John had influence and thinking that Peter ryas following hint he went or: in where he might be near his beloved, during the court proceedings, but •Potei' stayed behind. He was feeling the chill of the air. He had followed Jesus almost to the place where he might have been at least some com- fort to Him, to where Jesus might have met his sympathetic gaze when He needed him most. John was there but Peter had followed "afar off" and was warming himself by the five of the enemy. We have no right to judge Peter, in fact we are somewhat relieved that Peter was among the disciples for he was one of the twelve who is depicted as always hurrying frith - is deitectod as always hurrying hith- er and yon. Useless rushing took up a large part of his life and it seems contrary to his nature to find him sitting quietly by the fire of the enemy while his Master was on trial for His life. Was it fear (hat kept hint there? Was fear a part of his nature? Had this characteristic ever manifested itself before? We read of him try- ing to walk to Jesus on. the water. Like many of us he was always ready to start something, but fear entered his heart, and before the object was attained he was sinking', Then again, we wonder if when Peter saw the court assembling Ice thought, "Jesus has shown His power even over death and nothing can hap- pen to Hun now, He will come through safely." What could his thoughts have been as he sat at the of the enemy, and when one ifter another accused him of being t follower of Jesus, and be vehensent- y denied it? Again we ask ourselves was it feel, of what the consequences might be to hint or was it the thought that Jesus did not need any speaking for Him : It is just simply because we are following 'afar off'. We, remain out at touch with Jesus. We neglect our prayers, We allow other things to keep us away from our daily reading and from the medi- tation of the word of our Saviour. It was easier ,for Peter to sit by the fire of the enemy than it was for Him to go in and standnd with the crowd. In spite of it all we have a strong pity for Peter, when we think what he must have felt like when he heard the cook crow and realized what Jesus had said to hits. "Before the cock crew thou shalt deny 'Inc thrice." The remorse which entered his 'heart must' 'have' been 'terrible. As the trial of Jesus proceeded and when He was crucified on the tree we really have no way of telling that Peter suffered. mentally, Following the resurrection joy unspeakable sur- ely carie to hien. When. Jesus sent the message "Tell my disciples and Peter". 'My disciples' would 'have included Peter but Jesus wished to send a special message to Peter. Peter 'Who: had been so impulsive, Peter who had made such strong as- sertions of love for his Master; Peter who had warmed himself at the enemies•fire; and worst of all. Peter who had denied bis Lord, and yet Jesus sent the message, not only "tell my disciples", but "tell my disciples and Peter." It brings to us a great joy for we '1,•noiv that the time will came when Jesus will call for us personally. Although ave have be- trayed Him yet He will forgive us. Is it not worth our while to cease following 'afar off' and make Him our daily companion? "Be strong!

In the opinion of the Board the picture is capable of being used—and is, in fact, presently being used in Canada—not for purposes of entertainment or education but for political propaganda. In proof of this, a copy of an advertisement published in Vancouver, B.C., papers under the sponsorship of the Vancouver Liberal Association is shown hereunder. CAt IT L THE T You have heard the politicians talk on Canada's War Effort An independeni and accurate news rool now showing gives a Complete Picture of Canada's Warr Effort Every Canadian should see this picture and realize that the accomplishment is the work of one man aawv009123:Msv.. am ( Fit csin,ilc) in the Montreal Star of March 1, 1940, there also appeared an advertise- ment reading in part as follows: "Special March of Time 'Canada at War', sponsored by the Dominion Government now showing daily 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sunday 12 noon to 2 p.m." Moreover, the film "Canada at War", No. 8 in March of Time features, was released for exhibition in advance of No. 7—which is a picture with an American appeal, The release date of "Canada at War" was said to have been advanced three weeks apparently to permit of the display of the film during the Dominion election campaign. The action of the Board of Censors in prohibiting the exhibition in Ontario of the March of Time picture "Canada at War" follows the precedent adopted in the Ontario provincial election of 1937, during which time the Liberal Government of Ontario refused to permit the exhibition of films. and pictures which gave vivid accounts and displays of C.X.O. activities and scenes of violence in American industrial centres. The showing of the 'pictures would have been to the undoubted advantage of the Liberal Government which was opposing C.I.O. activities in Ontario. Yet the Ontario Liberal Government banned the exhibition of the films and pictures. The Board of Censors of the Province of Ontario would be false to its duty if it interfered in the wartime elections campaign by placing its Stamp of approval on a film such as "Canada at War," which in this time of grave national peril is being used and exploited for purposes of political propaganda.
