We. very often have so little association with Christ that the conneetiou is easily severed. Besides these are the fog signals, guns and bells, which are extremely useful when the fog is so dense that light' fail. Wo do not appreciate the different lights and helps which come into our lives. So often in Holy Writ, Jesus Christ is spoken of as a light. Psalm 27:1 "The Lord is my Light and my Salvaticin"; John 8:12 "I am the Light of the World". After consulting their chart if the sailors in a storm knew in what di- rection a storm signal was and re- fused to look at it, and be guided by it, .destruction would be deserv- edly theirs. Careful as a light keep- er may • be there is sometimes, tl'ccttgh accident, the danger of a light not shining. This is highly fin - probable now, but is not impossible.

This year's crop is estimated at 5,135,000 barrels, but owing to the probable drastic curtailment of ship- ping as a result of the war, it will consequently be necessary to find a larger market for apples in Canada. Apples are good food at any time either as fresh fruit or cooked in the variety of: ways they can be used its the diet. Following are some recipes taken from the pamphlet "Canadian Grown Apples" a copy of which may be obtained by writing to Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture.

It invades houses, stores, ware houses and markets; and. besides' des- troying fabrics and leather goods., attacks all kinds of food — grains, m'' ails, greediest fruefds, vegetables and in short everything eatable. In town and country it attacks poultry, destroying eggs and chickens. Elven the foundations of buildings; also, are damaged by its activities. In its widespread distributions, the rat des- trays unceasingly, and yet its pres- ence is too often tolerated. The common.' brown rat breeds 6 to 10 times a year and produces an average of 10 young at a litter.. Young females breed when only three or four months old. At this' rate, a pair of rats, breeding uninterrupted- ly and without deaths, would at the end of three years (18 generations) be Ghlcretused to :359,70902 indiviti eels. In addition to being the world's most inveterate destoyer of fend, the brown, rat is a menace to health. It is a carrier of bubonic plague, one of the most devastating of human diseases, "the Black Death", which has been carried by the rat all Dour the world. The monetary value of the damage done by the rate in Canada is en- ormous. To prevent this damage, rats should be denied access to places where ilio, obtain food and rear their young. That is, every building should be made rat -proof. This would en- tail the adoption and enforcement of sanitary conditions by civic and health authorities, and the institution of a continuous Dominion -wide com- munity campaign. 'Trapping and poison are effective means of des- troying rats, but the use of poison is fraught with danger and difficulty, and its use in houses is inadvisable bath on account of the danger and the likelihood that dead rats in inac- cessible places would prove objection- able. Information as to the best methods of controlling rats may be obtained from the Dominion. Entomo- logist, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Any amount of apples may be used.

An Opportunity To Cooperate In connection with the marketing of the 1939 crop of Canadian apples tate following statement has been made by Hon. James G. Gardiuei', Dominion Minister of Agriculture:— "We have been notified that as a result of conditions brought about by the war, the normal quantity of ap- ples will not be imported into Great Britain from Canada this year. Of a Crop of not more than 16,000,000 bushels about 50 per cent is usually exported, It is now proposed to dis- pose of half of tine usual ,export in Canada as fresh fruit and to dry and can the remaining 25 per cent. "The Government of Canada has al- ready announced its plan to purchase and process a substantial part of the apple crop and also proposes through the Dominion Department to carry on a national merchandising and adver- tising campaign for the' purpose of informing the public 'regarding ;tlte availability of this excellent fruit and of stimulating home cdnsiimptioil. The grading regulations have been so amended that only the better quality fipples will be available as fresh fruit. "In this connection, it is believed that everyone in Canada, and peaiacu- larly the housewife, will be willing to co-operate to bring about a largos: consumption of this excellent Canad- ian fruit during the next few months. This would solve the problem". THE CLOCK I serve thee here with all my might, To ,tell the hours by day and night. Therefore, example take by me- To serve thy God as I serve thee.
