This lett only slim supplies available in British Coltunbia, England and California. BULB INDUSTRY COULD • EXPAND Ono authority ventured that within five years British Colum- bia's expanding industry might be sufficient to look after the tulip demand. In the meantime -- "There's' nothing much you can do about it," he said. Right now we only have sufficient supplies to meet 10 per cent. of the de- mand., GO IN FOR PERENNIALS?

PRINTED TEXT, Luke 15 : 1-10 GOLDEN TEXT; -The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was !oat, Luke 19 : 10. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. --January, A.D. 30. Place. --Same Plane in ream. ' The grief people experience over things they have Jost depends up - an the Value of these things, How much more valuable than any pvoperty Or even a domesticated animal is the loss ot a soel-aa man or woman becoming an absolute shipwreck, abaudoned, by men and without God or hope. The hearts of all studying this lesson should be stirred ng with a desire to go out and seek men who know not Cline. The theme of the parable inthls lesson Is the grace of God - the objectof the chapter is not so .teuch to show how men are ' saved, but why they are eavel, Three Parables Luke 16 : 1, "Now all the pub - limes and sinners 'were drawing near unto aim to hear bine" (A publican in the New Testament was a Jew in the employ of, the Roman Government collecting tax- es, generally 'from fellovr aesve, Inc the enrichment of the heted officers who were enforcing the laws of the Gentile power upon these conquered children of Israel. TheY were utterly despised be other Israelites. Shiners here were those not living in conformity with the Levitical Law). 2. "And both the Pharisees and the scribes raunnureel, saying, This man re- ceiveth sinners, and aateth with them." What our Lord now is about to say contains first a precious mess- age overflowing with hope, and radiant with the love of God for these poor publicans and sinners who needed God so much in their lives. Up to now they had been prevented from coming to Him bY all the legalistic paraphernalia which the Pharisee insisted upon. This m es sage was Inc the Pharisees and scribes, too, to show them how far from the will of God they were in condemning the Lord :Jesus for mingling witbi such people as they despised. All three of these, parables move about one word as it were, namely, the word "lost' -.a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost man. Tile sheep wanders away heedlessly, not of set purpose, but drawn onward by one tuft of sweet herbage atter another, till it has got out of sight of the flock and hearing of the shepherd. So many men stray away from God and Christ, not delibere, ately, but simply because they fol- low inclination and the desires of the flesb. The coie, on the other hand, rens away by mere gravita- tion, without volition; fuel many men fall into dark corners o/ Rill almost as mechanically. But under belt the careless straying of the sheep and the mechaelcal tolling away of the "drachma" lies the selfishness aed unbridled living of the prodigal. All three parables must betaken together." The Lost Sheep 3. "And he epake unto them this parable, saying, 1. What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and Iliac in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until Ile find it? 6. And when lie hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6. And when he cometh home, he cattail together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them Rejoice with me, Inc I have totted my sheep which was lost. 7. I say unto you., that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance," Time joy of success is proportioned to .the difficulty, the doubtfulness of at- taining It. All the hazards and sac- rifices of the search are repaid by this recovery of the lost. There is no joy comparable to the joy of successful love; of love, that is to say, not only recognized and re- turned, bet which succeeds in utak- Mg the object of it as happy es it desires, and does so atter many repulses' and misunderstandings and hazarde. This is Cod's greatest joy. It is taken. tee mean here that the "ninety and nine" had already been saved. The Loat Coln 8. "Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth' not light a lamp, and sweep. the Meuse, and seek diligent- ly until she find it?" The general inference from this and the pre- ceding parable Is that each sbnnor IS So precious that God and His ministers regent no efforts Inc great to reelable such, men who today are exactly aks coins out of circulation. They are making no contribution to life, use- less ludlvidcials, retylus upon ttis belief that they are not influencing anybody tor evil, These people are good enough when found, like the cote, and pet Into circulation, Joy Over One Sinner 9. "And -when she hath found it, sire calleth together he friends and neighors, saying, Rejoice with me, Inc I have found the piece had lost, 10. Even so, I say tuato you, thee is joy in the pres- ence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." The sheep could not have come beck unless the ehepberd ,Itad sought him; the coin would never have been found in this instance unless the woman had looked' Inc It; but in the case af mankind, God must leave scan to decide for them- selves *whether they will come to Boy Scout Founder Dies After Leng 31 Illness Lieut -Gen.

But repentance Is necessary first on their part before they can come and find him. Retired Farmer Loves Knitting Has Done It Since A Lad - Easy on the Nerves, Says Nehemiah Ogden of Union- ville - Only a Sideline Knitting is not a woman's monopoly! Nehemiah Ogden of Unionville says so. He is _a 72 - year -old man who has been knit- ting for 64 years and can out - knit most of the women in the locality, it is alleged! And most of the women admit it! "I started knitting when I was a boy of -eight," he states. "But had to teach Myself. I hid in the barn while I was doing it, because any boy caught knitting in those days would be severely disciplined. Why even today the women seem to think they should do all the knitting, Personally I think machines would serve just as well and save time." Mr. Ogden spent most of his life as a farmer in the area. Knitting has been strictly a sideline. He is turn- ing over his present knitting out- put to the local Red Cross or- ganization. Until two years ago, Mr. Ogden was active in farm work and even now takes care of an acre plot with chickens and other small stock. His wife does the housework at the cosy home, and both are keenly interested in current affairs. Knitting is easy on the neves, this male ex" - pert admits. But he says, it hasn't lengthened his life. "Fresh air and lots of work (lid that." Sawdust Pastry TIow would you like to. spreed ou your bread a pat of butter made from coal?

Get Witnesses, Drivers Told Lawyer Gives Advice To Motorists Who Are In Acci- dents The cards are stacked against the motorist who has an accident unless he takes precautions both before and afterward, John L. O'- Brien, la,C. told 'members of the. Montreal Progress Club in a re- cent address entitled "The Auto- mobile Driver Is Always Wrong." In the case of accident to a pedestrian, he said, the motorist was presumed to be at fault, and unless he could prove other- wise he had 10 pay. Too many persons did not carry any emin- ence, and many more did not carry enough, because the mod- em tendeecy was for ciente to vow larger. Ile advised motorists who be- came involved in collisions with other antinuchlles to get the names and adresses of witness- es and Measure any marks on the road. If the motorist thought himself at fault, be should not say so and try to settle Inc the damage on the spot for a few dollars, This might only cense the other party to run up needless expense and the law provided that any settlement made within 15 days of an accident was not worth the paper on which it was written. Flaxseed Crop Shows Increase 8,600,000 Bushel Yield Is Largest in Canada Slime 1930 'Vile production of flaxseed in Canada for crushing purposes fluctuates widely from year to yea. Thio is due in pant to climatic conditions but mainly to the wheat and flaxseed price ration. During the past few years the price situation has fas vored the production of wheat ratites' than flaxseed with the result that the acreage under flax was relatively low, states W. G. McGregor of the Dominion Experimental Farms. In the spring of 1940 however, the situation seemed to promise bete flax prices in 'relation to wheat and 'as a 'result the Acre- age increased appreciably. Coinciding with the increased acreage there was a high average. yield per acro with the result that Canada produced the largest 'flax - peed crop since 1930 with a yield of about 3% million bushels of excellent quality. wzrz, IMPORT LESS During the past, decade Canada has imported belt linseed and linseed, oil so that stocks on held - are negligible. The paint, varnish and allied 'industries consume about 2,000,000 bushels annually. Building and industrial' activity, in recent yeses has increased this consumption So it is esti- mated that the total coneumption in tee past year exceeded' 3,000,- 000 bushels, With the rapid de- Velopment of war industries in Canada, an improvement is in prospect Inc the current year.
