Lesson February 2nd Lesson:Luke 15:11-24 .... G.T, v 32. , by REV. GORDON PEDDIE, B.A. 1. How does the action of the younger brother in taking his "port- ion of good" and leaving his father represent all human sin? Answer: The sin of man from the beginning is to claim as his very own the gifts orf God, and to seek to live by these created things, independent of God's Word; as though, separated from the Father, the might have per- fect freedom like "gods" (Gen 3:5). 2. Does God act as a cruel God if He permits us to go to the limits of folly and become beset by unbear- able trials? (vv 13-16; Rem 1:24f.) Answer: No! But it is just God's wonderful Love which permits us to descend into the valley of trouble un- til, truly humbled for our proud re- beIiion, we turn again to Hini (as the Son turned again to the father whom he had wronged) and seek His mercy. 3. How does the father in the par- able present a true picture of God's action in Christ as was described. earlier in the chapter by the action of the shepherd and women? Answer: Just as the father in the parable goes out to welcome and for- give the repentant son, so God sent forth Jesus to seek and to save there that are lost; and that is why Christ commonly was found receiving sin- ners and eating with them (v 2.) 4. Whom does the elder brother re- present in this parable? Answer: The elder brother 'repre- sents the Pharisees and the scribes who murmured against Christ (v2) beeause they forgot that the "calling" of, Issael was by God's unmerited grace ,and therefore they thought that their "merits" were not only duly ae warded if Christ admitted publicans and sinners to the hope of eternal life (vv 28-30:) THEATRE OF FREEDOM "The motive of freedom and the struggle for freedom bulk largely in the literature of dratna. Surely there cane be no better 'encouragement in these times than the Classics of the stage concerned with freedom. There- feee the C.B.C. is presenting a "Theatre of Freedom" season begin- ning Sunday, February 2, at 10.30 E.S.T.

Phil Osifer of Lazy Meadows By Harry 3, Boyle COLD CURSES" This is the season for colds. Even our ,belligerent Berkshire is sniffling these clays, using the straw stack to wipe away the influenza -inspired tears. In the barnyard, Biddy oar tittle Red Hen, has watery eyes to mateh her complexion and I've notieed the horse stable resounding with the exploding sneezes of the inhabitants of that portion of the barn. Last week the hired man had a cold. For breakfast he demanded sliced on- ions and while the rest of us cheer- fully tried to hold the tears back, he munched on the vegetable dynamite cheerfully. At last when the rest of us found excuses to move as far away from the table as possible, he gasped for breath and gulped water in a mat- ter to be compared to the husky one - cylinder pump of a thresher's tank. Somehow the onions didn't seem to help the cold. One thing they did do and that was to keep the rest of us far enough away from him that we didn't pick up any of the cold germs. At noon he remembered another cure that had been offered at some previous date and he wore a pair of woolen stockings criss-crossed on his chest. Whether it was for the warmth of the wolien material or some strange superstitous reason I'll never tell you, but his cold grew steadily worse. Atter supper he soaked his feet in a solution of mustard and salt and boiling hot water. Then, he drank juice from roast leptons and went to bed. Next•morning he was prowling a- round about four o'clock looking- for aspirin tablets. In spite of our in- sistence he wouldn't stay in bed, He's been hacking and coughing all mouir- ing and growling about conditions in general. Evidently his cold is not in'- � proving, nor for that matter, his dis-1 position, I mention this only as an example of cold cures. Its strange but just let- a hint drop on a rural telephone line_ .about one of the family having a eeldl and than sit back and. wait_ Sure en.- ough in about ten :minutes you'll lravee everybody on the line calling wide their own prescription for a cold cure, About the strangest one 1 ever heard was that of Mrs,. Higgins, who, called this morning to .suggest that the hired man pickle two duck livers: in vinegar and salt and then eat the livers .before going to `bed_ Another person called up to saae that a eine of pure vinegar and mustard would be an. certain cure for cold. Still another said that they found that ayile grease. said that they found that axle grease+, would be just the thing to cure they hired man of all his cold germs. Mention a cold and the average scan_ or women will either prescribe for iite or start telling you about the tune certain uncle of their took a unlit cold and died fifteen days later after - slowly strangling to death. The aueo-- tion of a cold seems to make people: think of graveyards or home-made prescriptions. I remember quite well coming berme, from school one night with a bad cold and a kindly old gentleman who lived in a little house this side of our Con- cession schoolhouse talking to me,. He gave me a little sack to wear ar- ound my neck and made me peaoaise not to tell anybody about it, and to• bury it after I had worn it for three days,I managed to wear it for a day-„ but mother pinned me down to chang- ing' my underwear one morning and int the course of the wrestling bout that. followed she discovered the bag. She opened it to find a sliced calf's ear- What arWhat site told me then I've always remembered . including the ad- vice that the only way to cure a cold was to go 'to bed for a day or so - .- and not to listen to what the neigh -- bouts have to offer by way of cures. FACTS AN© FIGURES Patients treated in the "In - Patient" Department during the Hospital's last fiscal year totalled Total patient days 13 5,009 Total number of attendances at "Out - Patient" Department 79,410 Total Operating Expenses $541,463 Total income from all sources $45 5,205 Deficit Which MUST be met by Donations $86,258 Over 9,000 infants and children were treated in The Hospital for Sick Children during the past year. They came from all parts of the Province. All were under 16 years of age—most of them came from the homes of the needy—over 95 % occupied Public Ward beds. Careful management kept hospitalization costs down among the lowest for children's hospitals in the whole of North America, In spite of this, the cost of caring for 9,000 little bed patients and of supplying oheavily burdened Out PatientgDepartme Department, , wasmuchuired by 79,410 rvisitsen's more rthan the revenue received from all sources. A similar deficit occurs every year because the Public Ward rates are leas than the bare cost of hospital service. In some cases the parents pay, and in others their municipalities shoulder the burden, In either event, our revenue is at the same fixed rate—about $1.00 per patient day less than our costs. This Hospital does NOT share in the funds collected by the Federation for Community Service because patients are admitted from all over Ontario. Only the gifts of generous citizens make it possible for us to continue carrying on without stint our work of mercy among Ontario children. Every donation is important. Please give as much as your circumstances warrant. This is a worthy charity which deserves your special consideration. We employ "no canvassers, so please mail your gift to the Appeal Secretary.
