Whose fault is that? There is only one answer. The parents are to blame. The train ing of a child beginsatbirth, some would. say "that's nonsense" bat nev- er the less •experience • teaches that it is true; Pick a child up when he 'eries and that child knows enough to cry again when he wants to be picked up, The same, thing happens over and ov- er until the child has the upper hand of the parents and he is well on the way to becoming a. trial to himself; to his parents,'and everyone in whose company he is, `Children who are trained to obey are muoh happier than those who are allowed to do as they please, For instance children by bed time are tierd and . upset but of ;course they donot want to go to bed, with the result that they lose sleep, which to necessary to their health. It also keeps the parents from having quiet time to themselves. Some par- ents say "I cannot get him to stay alone after I put him to bed." Tf you have no control of your. child at that age you will have no one but your- selves to blame in later years when he or she. makes tears your lot in life. Ewen when a child is a year old it is not too late to begin his train- ing, along the line of staying in bed without any one with him. The first night it will be almost impossible to keep from going to him, but hav- ing made up your mind to stay away, do so. The second night it will not be so bad, but just keep firm. Then the battle is won. Having conquered along that line keep on. Children of course, do not realize that they are being trained. They want to follow along in the line of least resistance, but when they become young men and young women and disobedience is the cause of many of their faults, which lead even to serious trouble. They are often critical of their parents for not insisting on obedience in their young days, If you have trained them pro- perly your son or daughter will thank ses you for what you have done. Y..Qu have changed them from some one who will be a nuisance, wherever they are into some one who will be a benefit to society. They will be able to co-operate in any line of work. Who are the people today who are being discharged from positions? People who have not been taught to obey. Dr. Campbell Morgan says "Ob- edience is the one qualification for future vision." What a statement and how much thought it provokes. We might day that both obedience and disobedience are the cause of the great world struggle of today. Obed- ience is absolutely necessary in the arfny and yet disobedience to the laws of, right is really' the basis of all the trouble. How unhappy disobedience can make.. anyone! .

Those who havenever learned obedience and who have proved theni•selves unworthy of anything higher than they are hold- ing. A noted man once said, "I have reached my present position by do- ing what I was told." A foreman goes through a work- shop. There is a sign on the wall, "There is a place for everything, put everything in its place." He finds a tool left carelessly on the floor. Prior to this time, in the eyes of all the workmen, he has been an Al fore- man. Now he proceeds to find out who has disobeyed orders, and that workman is warned, Then to one man, at least, he is an awful old crank," but he would not be long in the position he is in if he allowed such things to go on. That is a rule of work, but it is also a rule of play. Four young people are engaged in a game of ten- nis. One purposely for some reason is not playing to the best interests of his partner. The game is spoiled be- cause one will not obey the laws of of the game. So. many times tragedy follows disobedience. In the days when God's laws of the Sabbath were observed a young man went to spend a weekend with some friends. His mother warn ed him not to go in bathing on Sun- day. Sunday afternoon found him playing in the water with some friends. The next day he was brought home to his mother. God had called him while he was disobeying his Mother's wishes. The remark of his uncle was, "Whether Sunday bathing is right or wrong, John would have been here today, if he had obeyed. his Mother." In spite of the many accid- ents which happen while people are seeking pleasure on Sunday how far we hove got from the question of what is right or 'wrong on Sunday! We may disobey rules and laws, but we never do it without some per- sonal loss. Disobedience on the part of others lowers them in our estimat- ion, but we fail to realize that the same is true in regard to ourselves. In the majority of cases we would rather think that we have not the faults which we see in others. THE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company Head. Office, Seafortlt, Ont. Officers: President.

HUGH TEMPLIN I sat in the secretary's office at the No. 1 Air Observer School at Malton and wondered what would happen next. Things always seemed to turn out that way when arrange- ments had been made for ine to fly in an R.C.A.F. plane. If there wasn't a thunder storm, there was something else. The day's thunder storm had already passed and the sky was clear, but orders had become mixed up. On the other side of his desk, J, A. Munroe, secretary -treasurer of the school, was keeping the telephone busy and nowsand then someone came hurrying in with a correspon- dence file or other information. It was obvious enough what had happended. A phone call from the Training Command at Toronto had informed me that all arrangements were made. Meanwhile, a sudden call had taken the manager of the Malton School to Montreal and no one else knew anything abouts the arrangements. As we waited for word from To- ronto, the big Avro Ansons out on the runway roared away. It was two o'clock, and time for them to go out on their afternoon "exercises." Flying Officer McLeod tried to be consoling. It was a rough day, he said and I wouldn't enjoy it. He re- membered one newspaper man who went up in a plane on just such a day. He wasn't up five minutes till he was sick, and, his trip was a total loss—and' so was his lunch. Besides, the exercise for that day wasn't the most interesting kind. The student observers would be trying to make out a course as though they were flying blind, above the clouds. Anoth- er day would be more interesting and would provide better flying condi- tions. There seemed to be nothing else to be done. It was a quarter after two now and I hadn't heard a plane' go for five minutes. The night flight wouldn't leave till nine o'clock and might not return till two in the morn- ing and I would have 60 miles to drive home after that. I had work to do the next morning and two members of the family waiting for me in the city. There seemed to be nothing left to do but to come back again. The Delayed Flight Suddenly things began to happen Flying Officer McLeod had gone out but he came hurrying bass. "Everthing's O.K. We'll have to hurry, though."

On the way he explained that one plane was delayed by engine trouble, Spark plugs. I might get to it in time. A quick trip to the pilot's room, where I was fitted' with parachute harness—two straps over my shoul- ders and one around each leg, all locked together in front of my stom- ach. The day was hot, so I left my coat behind and went in my shirt sleeves. Another dash across the runway to the place where the twin engines of Avro Anson No. 6037 were turning over smoothly and noisily now. The pilot was already in his seat. Hasty introductions to the two student ob- servers, K. Allin and R. Evritt, both of Melbourne, Australia. That was in- teresting. Two fine young fellows. I shook hands with them. "It's hot!" I said just by. way of making conversation, It was a stupid thing to say because so obvious. The thermometer said 95 degrees. • "We like it," one of them replied, rather surprisingly. They were in shirt -sleeves too, with the same kind • Our obedience to commands teaches us respect far those in authority. We have very little respect for those' who do not see that their orders are carried out. There are of course rules in regard to obedienee chief among those are that we should do what we have to do cheerfully, gratefully and to the. best of our ability. m Then above all we must be abed- ient to our Heavenly Commander. His laws are always right and just and if we follow them what a happiness comes into, our lives! Me says;" If ye keep my command- ments.ye shall abide in my love.' There isolo',happine'se in the world to be compared to the happiness which' becomes ,prirt• off ear lives when we open the door of our hearts and let Christ in. We may think there is pleasure in the world and in follow- ing the things of the world, but there is nocomparison between them. If yen have any doubt as to this, just ask some one who has pent kis or her life in wordly pleasures and then has turned to Christ and they will tell you just the same. If people would only realize this how much happier they would be. We cannot expect this happiness if we have made up our minds not to accept Christ and to fallow His com- mands, He gives us His promise of assistance in everything. He asks us to do His will, and with that comes His help, with which nothing in the world can conquer us. Everything for time and for etern- ity depends' on ou_r willingness to ac- cept Christ and to co-operate with Him. If there was only .some way that those who are happy in Christ could make ,others understand that there is nothing like that joyl Christ has been trying for nearly 2,000 years to draw all men unto Him and still there are those who will not come, but the time may be nearer than we expect when our last chance will have passed and those who have acknow;- Ledged Him will receive His "Depart„ from me. I never knew you”. We will have no.. excuse. All we ean do at that time will lie to, regret our act- ions and our disobedience. Would that there was something .which would stop use before it is too late? , ,REA-s of parachute harness. Later, Pilot Jocelin said: "The Australians" just eat up this kind of weather." Qi. little door was open up on .the side of the plane, and I climbed up. One of the Australians fastened my safety strap, a quick -release type that was new to. me. Allin took his seat beside the pilot and Evritt in the seat behind the pilot. I was in the back • seat,opposite the door.. The plane began,to move at once, down the broad runway. We passed a silvery Trans -Canada plane, just coming in and turned into the wind and in a few seconds were -off the ground, heading westward into a 25 - mile wind. An 'Exercise" Flight One of. the Australians had . re- peated the warning that the flight might be a rough • one,; but I did not. find it so, particularly after we had. climbed above a thousand feet. Th'ese large planer; fly much more steadily than the, small open -cockpit planes in which moat of my previous flying had been done. Up in front, on the left, . sat Pilot Jocelin, two or three rows of instru- nuents in front of him, holding on to a wheel that looked likethe steering wheel of an'automobile with parts of, it cut away. Reside him sat one of the young 'Australians. Infront of him, under the dash, was a hole into which he crawled from time to time so that he could lie flat on his 0%om- ach'in the nbse of the plane and read the drift indicator, showing how much the plane ..Was being blown off its bourse by the wind. Directly' behind the pilot sat the other Australian student. He was doing his "exercise" for the day. On a table in front of him lay a map with -no towns, roads or landmarks, except the- outlines of the Great Lakes and here and there, circles, with an arrow marking the compass variations—not much help that to a visitor from, the other side of the world: On the table lay his simple instruments, a triangular ruler, a few pencils, a circular card with rows of figures and the name, Somebody's Rapid Calculator. Beside him was a compass and up in front two dials, one indicating the engine speed and, the other the altitude above sea level. I sat in the rear seat, directly be- hind the student with the exercise, but with my view to the front partly cut off by the wireless instruments, working by remote control front the. pilot's seat. Occasionally, I saw the dials turn .find the wavelength indi- cators change, but of the messages' which passed. through them I knew nothing. In front of me was a table, on which I was able to write in my notebook. Some Towns Easy To Identify The Avro Ansons is noted for its visibility. There are windows,.all around. It has 'even been likened to a flying greenhouse. The rear seat was opposite the huge wing, but it was easy to see the landscape below and behind. The sky held many clouds and the shadows mottled the landscape below. The air was hazy and ten miles was about the limit of visibility, After we climbed to 4500 feet, we were up in the lower layer of clouds. Occasion- ally one would drift past almost close' enough to touch. The heavier clouds, holding a hint. of thunder, were higher. Two or three times we ran into rain but.I couldn't see it -out on the wing. Only the odd singing of the propellors and the drops on the front windows showed me the difference. I hadn't any idea whether I would know where we were from nearly a mile up in the air. I couldn't see the compass, but the sun shone• most of the time, giving a rough idea of the directions. There wasn't any doubt about the first town. Acres of green- houses shone in the light as we circled over Brampton, gaining height, I imagine itwould make a wonderful li target, day or night. If I had been able to lay my hands on a stone, I could hardly have resisted the temp- tation to drop it overboard on these glass roofs. We headed west after that, and the Credit river, dirty even from that height, was the next Iandmork. Then a little village that worried' me until I decided its mill ponds were like those at Alton. Then came Orange- ville. -I was nearer home now and knew most of the landmarks. The provincial highway to Arthur, strai- ght as a ruler, gleamed- in the sun for miles till it crossed the Grand river. The lovely Hockley. Valley lay ahead. The hills looked almost flat, but the road by the river was plain enough. By that time, I had the 'road map out of my brief ease and from then on was never lost. We passed south of Camp Borden, over the great H•oi- land marsh and the tip of Lake Sim - 1 In The News As they say in fight circles Colonel George Drew has beaten Premier Hepburn to the punch. The Leader of the Opposition has left an a flight to the Old Country on a fact-finding mission. Just what new facts the ( versatile Ccldnel will be; able to Bath' er in Britain is something only time will disclose. Premier Hepburn up to a few days ago contemplated, making such a trip, but after a conference with his .. colleagues in the . Ontdrio cabinet he has changed his mindand will remain at home. • Some months ago. Mr. Hepburn made it abundantly clear that he was impatient with the war effort of the King Government. Failing to find an euitlet for his energies in •Canada, about a year ago he offered his •ser. vices to Lord Beaverbrook as he was anxious to join with his old friend J. P. Bickel), who has • gone front . the Dominion to aid hie great fellow Canadian in speeding up aeroplane production in the Old. Land. There' is a feeling in many quarters that Premier Hepburn can possibly render greater service by remaining at his post in this province, although the prospect is not as exciting as sear vice in an executive capacity in the very centre of hostilities. There is this to be borne in mind however—Mr. Hepburn is an unpred- ictable ehap. It only requires four- teen hours' in a bomber to make the hop from Montreal to London and the cable may announce some fine morning the arrival of Premier Hep- burn at the heart of Empire despite the 'fad that J. P. Eickwell has al- ready returned to Canada. Aa a safety measure as well as to conserve gasoline, a determined drive has been enaugurated against speed- ing motorists. In the past few weeks there has been a lamentable increase in the number of highway accidents and the authorities say a check will be effected if drastic action will ac- complish it. It is announced erring forth be continuous on the part of the authorities. Women's war ;effort in Canada has, not only been varied but energetic,, continuous and intelligently directed. There has been no complacency and the manner hi .which the work has been carried out would tendto show that those engaged init seem inspir- ed with the thought that war is at our very door. These activities have attracted the attention of the rural women's societies in the United States and as a result a conference "will be: held at Ottawa next month under the sponsorship of the Associated Coun- trywomen of the World at which the United States visitors' will be given an insight of what Canadian women are doing in: national service. Representatives of Women's In- stitutes, the Local Council of Women, the Hadassah, leading Jewish organ- ization, and other women's societies will be in attendance. Topics to be discussed will include food problems, natural resources, conservation, org- anization for defence, racial prob- lems and reconstructionfollowing the war. The Ontario command' of the Can- adian Legion has come forward with a flatfooted demand for all . out con- scription. The Legion leaders con- tended that the seriousness of the rapidly developing situation in the Far East alone demanded the urgent organization of all possible resources for war including the most important item of an effective control of the country's manpower. Several other Ontario organizations have declared in favour of the adoption of selective conscription despite the fact that Fed- eral authorities announce that volun- tary enlistment is proceeding at a rate that leaves no cause for anxiety. motorists who have failed to heed Demand for a Royal Commission to inquire into social welfare conditions throughout the Dominion is to be made by Lewis Duncan, K.C. a mem- ber of the Toronto Board of Control. Mr. Duncan says there has never been any comprehensive legislation in Can - ads dealing with social welfare since 1792. He proposes legislation that would force close relatives to be res- ponsible for the support of any per- son receiving public relief. Public Welfare officials would be given authority to bring suit against any- one liable but not contributing to the support of relief recipients and they would also be empowered to seize property owned by anyone shirking responsibility for the support of re- lief recipients. repeated warnings will be summonsed to court. Attorney General Conant has 'requested the drivers to oomply with the thirty miles and less speed limit of towns and cities and the fifty mile limit on highways and the effort to enforce the regulations will, hence - a freight boat steaming across the Bay. The skyscrapers looked like tall toybuildings. To d s. thenorth, t o h - r h r ge e servoir shone as all the other ponds had done. We parallelled Dundas street out to 'West Toronto. I saw, a mile below me, the schoolyard where I once tried to teach a girl to skate. All Iarge buildings were easily seen. It took about six minutes to cross Toronto, from the eastern subnrbs to the Humber river at Weston. We circled the great Malton air- port slowly, watching other planes coming• in and finally, with a clear runway, cause down to earth without a bump. From the delightful coolness of the upper air, we stepped out into the heat again, The students checked their neaps with Pilot Jocelin, and I submitted mine. It was just two rough pencil narks on a road neap but he seemed surprised that I had been so close to the real croute. Most people, he said, got completely lost in the air unless they had some training. There was time for conversation now. The Australians had been six weeks at Malton. Another six and they would go to Jarvis to learn bombing and gunnery with practice' bombs and real machine guns. It wouldn't be long till they were flying over Germany. coe, and down beside Yonge street to King, then in a bee -line for Mal - (ton. There, the students changed places and we went around another circle, slightly farther east, but in 'sight of Brampton, Caledon Lake, Or- angeville, Aurora, and down to the shore of Lake ,Ontario near Malvern. A turn to the west brought us over the eastern suburbs of Toronto. The flight over Toronto was inter- eating. Out to the left was the Wood - bins race track, thbta the harbour With V THE NEED FOR FUEL Consumption of gasoline and oil in Canada helps to win the war only where it serves war industry, and other industries that in turn support the war effort, army vehicles train- ing planes and naval craft. If Canadians were wholly intent in their ambition to leave nothing un- done that should be done to insure a Victory against Hitler, most of the balance of motor fuel stocks in Can- ada would be put at the disposel of the fighting forces overseas. If Canadians really understood just how precious motor fuel will be in the scheme of operations soon to be launched by the British Empire for- ces, they could not possibly use up gasoline and oil for pleasure pur- poses without great pangs of con- CHURCH DIRECTORY THE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.
