Losses inspected by the director Bob saidp Three weeks ago last Sun- day as I went to Sunday School, car- rying my Bible, same kids called me', a "sissy". You did not see me but the next Sunday I did not take my Bible. The teacher asked pie where it was and I told her. I forgot it. She seemed surprised and said, "Jesus would not do that". It bothered me so that I asked. God to forgive me. Last Sunday I carried my Bible so ev- ery one could see it and I told Miss Smith what I had eine. After Sun- day School we had a lovely talk. You see I had to lie to cover up the wrong I had done. Jesus died for me and yet I was ashamed when those boys accused me of having anything to do with Him. Mary continued, "I have been doing a lot of reading' lately, books which were not just as •nice as they should' be. I now realize that Jesus would not waste His time on that kind of reading. From now on I ant going to read only books from which I can get something which will help me along in the Christian life. Chief among those is the Bible and I intend to make a real study of it.

This is true in re- lation to vocations, marriages, char- acter and habits. Many a farmer and his wife have hoped that their children would ,remain farmers, only to find them leaving the farm for the cityor town. It is quite right that children should, in the course oftheir •adole- eeent development, haveminds and wills and desires of their own. It may not be right for parents to try to mould the shape of their children's lives. What they can and &hotild do is to mould the character of their childteu, and to set before them fine e ntaa files (of clean and wholesome living. Also ,they may quite proper- ly give shape to their minds. .But children must be allowed, :in their de- veloping maturity, to make their own choices and decisions, even when these choices and: dexisions led them stray. ' MAINLY PERSONAL A man now past 70 years of age said to me that fromhis earliest years he had been hearing ebout cris- is. When he was lad he hear] about the crisis in China—that :a dollar given then would be worth as much as thirty dollarslater on--- this for the salvation of the Chinese from their own sins. Fesery year he heard. about the Armenian crisis: always somebody collecting' money to save the . Armenians from something or other. Ali through his life, right up to the present, he has been solicited to contribute money to' some mission or cause "to prevent a crises," And his feeling is that long after he has been dead there will be annual crises which some good people will' be try- ing to avert or nullify with money collected froni persons whom they may succeed in getting emotionally stilted up. These 'crises do not al- ways relate to the souls of heathen races, or to the souls of the submer- ged in Christian lands; Quite often they relate to the bodies of men, women and children — the starving peoples of countries where are floods, or famine or pestilence or war. Perhaps there is never a time in any country which is not critical; and perhaps there is no time in ones private or personal life which is not critical. Is it not true that life is full of crises most of which do not happen? Jane carired on with her experience. Like Tan I have something to say- of whch I am thoroughly ashamed. Two or three times lately several of the girls have asked me to go into the beer parlor and I have gone. One day Mrs. Fraser ••saw me coming out. She stopped me and told me the great danger I was running into. I said it would never go any further. Mother, she asked me if I had told you I was going, and I said "Oh my goodness no, Mother must never know." She said that at least was one reason why I 'should not do it. Just then a young girl came staggering out and Mra. Fraser said, "There was a time when T spoke to that young girl the way I am speaking to you and she said, like you it would never go any further, If Jesus came I would not want to be found there. That settled the quest- ion for me. The girle and I have talked it over and that is the end of that sort .of thing for us." "Now I am going to try to .sell it." Thus spoke a man in regard to his Summer home. It cost him quite $15,000 to build. He could have sold it at one time at a profit. Today he feele that he will be lueky if he can get half of $15,000 for this summer home of his Of course, it has cost him far more than its erection cost— for repairs and renoeations, for taxes, for summer servants, for interest on the mortgage which has been on this property for quite 20 years, for care- taker's services, This: man of whom I write kept his summer home in the confidence that his children would wish to own it when their circumstan- ces would make ownership possible. Now, however, be has had. it "out" with his Children, to find that they do not wish to buy the home, which is too large for their respective fam- ilies, for one thing, and not modern enough, er near enough to places of gay life, It is one of the griefs of parents that their children, when they grow up, do not always want to live after the pattern set for them by the par- ents. Permits' dreams for their of other boys and myself have been very nasty ,to some foreign children. In Sunday School, a week ago, Miss Black said, "Jesus was a Jew" and it came to my mind the terrible thing I was' doing. Now these foreigners play with us and we have good times. Mother and I are going to join in this conversation today. Even since any of you can remember I have been smoking. The money I have spent on tobacco etc., has been terriffic. Time and again I have felt that 1 should give it up, but the tempter said, "You have no really bad habits, don't think of depriving yourself of that pleasure. Several times I have attempted to A man whom I see more or less frequently was telling me how he slipped badly at a certain spot in his life. Today he is middle aged, and itas had, a rather hard time of it for the past year. He is a university graduate, and for several years, in the lush 20's he "made" over $100,000 a year --on the stook market. He lived high, wide and handsome. He had married a rich woman, and it was her money that enabled him to live sumptuously: Then, when the 1929 smash came, there was a smash- up in the domestic relationship. The husband was. offered $100,000 in cash to have the marriage dissolved, or alternatively, an annuity of $5000. He refused this offer—for some reason which he did not tell me about, and let his ease go to the courts. It end- ed up with • his losing the case. It was his bad temper—by his own ad- missoin—that put a hump • in his back. He became vindictive. And he ended up his tale to me by saying, "And here I am today working for Smith and Brown at $25 a week." I wonder if it is not almost univer- sal experience, namely: we give free reign to ow temper—to our vindic- tive spirit — to the "I'll show you" spirit, only to repent at leisure. There are many fights not worth while, ev- en when one wins, stop but without success. When we planned this talk, I decided I had been trying to do it in my own strength. I asked God to help me and a month ago, right at once I stopped • smoking. Whether smoking is right or wrong may be an individual question, but as far as I am concerned it is wrong. I now find it has been injurious to my Stewart, "You know there has for health Another thing if you were some time been the question of Sun- smoking you would not think of ask day Sports, and the attitude of the ing someone over; whose salvation Christian towards them.

"I remember the ncident," said the lawyer, "but you are wrong when you call Henry West- inghouse mean. He was induced' to back a note for a kinsman who had got into trouble, and he had to pay the note—several thousand dollars. For years' he has been paying off the indebtedness which he assumed. He's an honourable man. He and his fam- ily have had to go poor fpr several years. Every dollar to him counts heavily. He just cannot be gener- ous. He has not gone about bewail- ing his misfortune. He's a proud man." I needed the rebuke of the lawyer who told me the story of Henry Westinghouse. Then I thought of another family which had been compelled to go' for years without many things which their neighbors had, all because one of the family had :sinned. The erring son had got into a hole, by criminal practices, and it required $2500 to keep hint from gaol. He was a far- mer's son, and he went to his brothers and sisters to get the $2600, To keep the family name clean, and to save a brother from a prison -sentence, these brothers and Sisters, from their Savings and' by means of mortgages, raised the essential $2600. For years and years afterwards they denied themselves many things. At ]east two young people were prevented from going to the university because of their parent's inability to send them there. Anal what about the er- rant son? He was non -repentant, He continued to a crook in his heart. He ever repaid a cent of the money obtained from his kindred—never meant to. Probably, if we could lift the cover which hides many sorrow& and disc tresses, and which conceals ugly fam- ily history, we would find that we have uncovered real nobility. Cer- tainly we ought to know the full story of a life before we pass judgments on it. Most men, I fancy, slip; badly some- time . or other inthe course of their life. They may slip because of some error of judgment on their part, or because of some sin of stheirs—some grave misdemeanor, Or the cause may be outside them -selves, as for example, unavoidable or unforeseen loss of emplopyment, or Some disaster beyond their control, One man was telling me 'of his slip—from a $100 a week job to a $70 a week job. with a worsening outlook for him. Few the man he is discouraged. Yet he re- mains a young man, with abilities unimpared; and the day will come when he will recover from his slip. Dr. Time will mend his situation, with, of course, good oo-operation from the patient. Dr. Time is a un- iversal niversal friends A Presumption of God s Way of Creation In making research for power I have discovered an actimt that works out exactly the same as the action of the planets of our natural world and for the benefit cf the reader 3 will describe a .tnerhanieal device which I have evolved upon which all the planets of the universe are rep- resented. The peincipal parts of which are fire, water and air. 1 be- lieve the creation of the universe has just been one continuous round of ev- olution, @paging from one thing to another and that the first created things formed a substance of prog- eny for that which followed from the beginning to the present day and will continue so until time indefinite and that all things were created a- long natural lines, We will now go back to space which was interminable_ space, with- out end. That space contained air. Not the air as we know it today, which has undergone many changes, but a dense, crude heavy- air or sort of jell, which formed: a core of water and sediment in the centre of spae':, That core accumulated from the heavy, air until it becatne avast ocean of water and sediment. To give an idea of that •ocean it would at least be a body of twenty thousand square miles of water and sediment, which formed -a heavy scum tis time went on. The scum and sediment natural- ly rolled together and when that ltd taken place there was fermentation and all manner of gases. That great body of matter which would be ten thousand utiles in diameter heated and became a molten mass and float- ing on the water it naturally cooled from the outside. When the combus- tible matter that was contained in it was driven to the centre, it had to have vent and there came a great explosion that split that great body of matter inot two halves. "The top half turned over and both halves lie side by side with the split sides up- ward on the face of that vast ocean. The top half was composed chiefly of flamabie matter, and is known as the sun planet in this narrative. The. other half is the earth on which we live, it contained the greater part of sediment. Those are the two and on- ly planets of our natural world. The sun planet has a great central nine of flamable matter which covers thousands of square miles. The great mine held fire from the explosion. At this, period of creation a great chemical action was brought about by the gases front the explosion and other like substances. It brought glacial period, almost the whole world was frozen, except a portion close to the sun mine. A great deal of time ryas consumed! here, until the sun mine had power to melt the ice. The sun mine bears a heavy crust and has millions of draft holes burn- ed, through. the •crust. Try to get a mind picture of that great platlet. The Iight and heat and clouds of steam and' smoke pouring out through all those draft holes until it formed one solid ball of fire above the great mine, As time went on the sun got more power and the heat began to • move the water. The planets being. floating moved alta in a slow cir- cling and rocking motion. As they rocked the heat was thrown iterrsiy and in a circle on the ocean and in time it formed a ailment, The two planets are equal in size and always acting vice versa they travel well to the onside of, the ocean and make a yearly circuit of the great ocean. They are ten thousand miles across the face and five -thousand miles deep., While the sun is rotating to- ward and over the earth; the earth; is rotating towards and under the sun, alvr'ays vice' versa. The ,sun travels in a true circle around the cold magnetic saint known as the south pole.. The sun in making the daily circuit is always tilted away from that point. The other magnetic point known, as the north pole is al- ways titled away from the sun.: The poyvetful heat giying the . water a boast at every rock of the planet has driven' it out into a deep basin shape and the powerful light of the sun shining on that circling, basin shape ed, water forms it into a mirror. The water of the ocean is shown on that great mirror and reflected onto the heavy outer air of the zenith and forms the blue sky. Everything we see on the sky is first shown on the great mirror. The moon is the xe,• flection of the sun. The stars ars the' reflection of the draft holes burn - ea through the crust of the great sun mine Here is where the ancient, man's sight failed, he could not see the great natural mirror. The planets are always opposite each. other across the great basin. June 21st the sun is at its farthest northern point of the great ocean and the earth always opposite on the circuit. September 21st the centres of both planets are in line, across the centre of the great basin and we have equal day and night: December 21Lst the sun planet is the farthest Southern point of the great ocean. March 21st the centres of both planets are in line across the centre of the great basin and we have equal day and night again. The water being driven from the centre by getting a heavy boast of heat at every rock of the planets. Now it is impossible to drive water without forming a wave. This travels a cir- cuit of the great ocean around under both planets in twenty-eight days; or thirteen circuits in one of our years. It starts from a narrow point in the centre of the ocean. The wave is the highest water in the basin and the sun is always shining on the wave. Changing of the moon: at new noon the wave is directly under the centre of the sun planet, the sun shining on that narrow end of the wave reflects as lance or new moon on the sky. As the wave travels around the 'basin the sun shines on a broader portion making a broader re- flection. In fourteen days the wave has travelled half the circuit and is directly under the centre of the earth. The sun is then shining on a broad enough portion of the wave to reflect the full moon and in twenty-eight days the wave has completed the cir- cuit and the reflection has declined to the narrow end of the wave and we have another new moon. An eclipse of the moon takes place at full moon when the wave is a lit- tle ahead of the planets, getting in line across the centre of the great basin, this leaves the wave a little higher and between the great mirror and the reflection of the sun on the sky. An eclipse of the sun takes place at new moon and the great wave is between the great basin and the sun on the sky. A comet is the creation of a new star or a break out in the sun mine, spitting gas and flame into the atmosphere. They show according to their position on the planet, sometimes yearly, some- times many years. The two cold magnetic points on the earth along with the great sun mine produces the electric current, the giver of all life. Sun shots and the Aurora borealis are much the •same. It is an over- flow of gas burning on the ,outside of the sun mine, it has a general ef- feet on the magnetic points. That the stens appear different in their nature is due to the different substances burning in the sun mine. The movable stars, such as Venus, Jupiter, Mars, etc., are shown on the great basin shaped mirror close to the centre and. as the planets move forward in making their yearly cir- cuit the reflection crosses a centre line of the basin shaped mirror and London -Clinton Frank added, "At school a couple ^Comic *kith ar. 2.50, leave '3..08 P.011 "Well" said Mr. Graham, "this talk has been g revelation but the fact that you have been honest enough to tell these things will make mother and I feel very happy.

Our ocean tides are caused by the rocking of the planet. The great ex- plosion did not split the first planet in a straight Iine and our mountains and ocean beds were formed in this way. Salt is generated by the refuse of the sun mine being washed into the ocean. There is no actual weight to the universe; it is created: from air and held in air. All minerals in the earth were brought about by the mixing of diferent ingrediences and time heat and pressure.
