UNE SCU00I LESSON I1r Rev. R. Barclay Warren B.A.; B.D. •'The Warning and .invitation of Jesus. • Matthew 11:20-30 Memory Selection: Come unto one, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, .and I will give you rest.' Take my yoke upon you, and .learn of me: Matthew 11: 28-29. God has always appealed to man through warning and tender invitation. A preacher who ex- cludes either from his message. is out of line with Scripture. The sin of Sodom is listed in our law books ° as sodomy. God destroyed the Wicked people of that city.*The people of the re- spectable city of Capernaum were therefore surprised to hear Jesus' say, "And ` thou, Caper- nauin, which art exalted unto heaven, shaft be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had. been done in Sodom, it -would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of , judgment, than for thee." Re- . sponsibility and punishment for sin' are partially determined by the light we have received. Bet- ter to die a heathen who has never heard the message of the Gospel than an unrepentant sin- ner from Canada where Gospel light and privileges are so abun- dant. After the words of this dire warning Jesus gives the great invitation of the memory selec- tion. How many are laden with• sin's - guilt and shame! How many are bound by sinful habits of thoug it, word and act! How many are wearied with the struggles of life! To all such, Jesus says, "Come unto me." Tranquillizing pills may give . a temporary calm and strong drink may , bring blindness to one's misery for a little time but only Jesus Christ can give soul rest. He Is the answer to our need. Let us confess our sins and seek Him now. Multitudes have proven that His word is true, that "My yoke is easy, and My burden is light" "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found." Ploughboy -Poet Proposed to. Queen Of all the success stories in history few are so amazing as that of Stephen Duck, the Wilt- shire -ploughboy who taught himself to read, became the most fashionable poet of his day, en- tered the Church and was ap- pointed chaplain to the King. In the year 1722, Stephen Duck was living in the Wiltshire village of Charlton Saint Peter. Though still in his teens, .he had married and was raising a family - on four and sixpence a week. Beer cost about a ha'penny a pint, and an ounce of cheap tobacco cost less than one of our own cigarettes. Anyway, Duck, a ploughboy, taught himself to readthe whole. of Milton's "Paradise' Lost." After' a while, he tried his hand at poetry of his own and found that he .had m genuine talent, Thetb al vicar helped him and the manuscript of one 'of his - poems was read to George IPs Queen at Windsor Castle:. The Queen was so impressed by, Duck's talent that she sent fOr him and persuaded, him to give up ploughing to study. Duck soon afterwards received' a royal message appointing him , librarian• at the palace. He duly left his farm. work and took up residence at Windsor Castle. Other successes followed all beyond his wildest dreams. The former ploughboy was made a Yoeman of the Guard and was appointed keeper of ,Duck Island, in St. -Dame's Park. Duck wrote more poems and owes duly proclaimed a. great genius. The Queen was anxi- ous to promote him even higher and he was persuaded to study for the Church. This he did and in 1751 he became a royal preacher. It' seemed that no post was too high for him.' He was men- tioned as a .possible ,Poet Lau- reate and even as Archbishop of Canterbury. Duck, however, had acted his part too long. He . never felt at ease among his new friends and became morbid- ly sensitive about his birth. No one noticed' this until he took to standing on his head in the palace gardens. Even that was accepted as the eccentricity of a genius. One morning, how- ever, the rumour got around that 'the royal chaplain had rushed into the Queen's room to pro- pose marriage. Duck, in short, was: paying the price of living in a dream, His mind had given way lin- , der the strain. Even so, no one understood quite how deranged he had become until, on March 21st, 1756, 200 years ago last year, at the age of fifty-one, the ploughboy - preacher ran away from the palace, the vic- tim of religious mania. After wandering about the country- ' side he reached Reading where .he drowned himself in a stream behind a tavern. Duck's poems never were great. But his memory lives On through the, gesture of Lord Palmerston, who admired his tenacity in teaching himself to read and write. In order to perpetuate Duck's memory, Lord Palmerston gave a sum of money for a feast to be held in Duck's honour every June lst at the village inn of his birthplace. Twelve local farm -workers sit down, to a supper of cold meat and ale, The ale is drunk at one gulp from tankards holding five-eighths of a pint. The Chief Duck (as he is called) reads the toast as -,follows: "In remem- brance of Lord Palmerston and the Reverend Stephen Duck with all my heart."

BRUSHING OFF THE WORLD - The young lady at left is cleaning up the Middle East, a problem which has bedeviled many a good man lately. She and her partner make it seem easy and so it is because the "world" and its moon are only interesting exhibits at a Frankfurt, Germany, show called "Space Unlimit- ed." T1IEFAYM FROiT •.. u612uszel.l. Modern equipment for aiding in many farm chores or in the home requires either small elec- tric motors or small gas engines. Where' electric current is avail- able the small fractional horse- power motor seems to be the logical choice. • • The kind et available electric service may be a' two -wire 115 Volt or a two- or three -wire 230 Volt having an alternating cur- rent of 60 cycles Or 25 cycles, or it may be from a small domestic engine driven electric generating plant supplying 32 Volts of di- rect current. The motors used, therefore, must suit the kind of electric current and wiring which ,is to be used. The A.C. motors are the type most gen- erally used and most widely sold. The popular kinds of A.C. motors are as follows: 4, • Split Phase Motors -These are usually the least expensive to purchase. They include the sin- gle phase type that operates on two wires and are obtainable in sizes ranging from 1/20 H.P. to 1/3 H.P..They are suitable for light duty such as may be re- quired'for a small seed cleaning machine Or a washing machine. They can start a machine that requires about twice their nor- ' mal running power for a short duration. An automatic switch mechanism disconnects the pow- er from its starter windings as soon as the motor reaches its normal speed. * * • Capacitor Start Motors -These motors cost a little more but are the best all round motor for general use. Their power ratings range from 3/4 H.P. to 1 H.P. The motor is fitted with a capacitor, which is a condenser to absorb the extra surge of electric cur- rent when starting a machine. It is thus able to start a load that requires three times its nor- • mal horsepower rating for a short period. Such motors are suitable for operating larger seed cleaning machines, water pumps and similar loads which require - a little extra power to start them, or where the demand for power may fluctuate with a varying load of the driven ma- chine or equipment. Motors of this type larger than i/z H.P. should operate on a three -wire 230 Volt service. Repulsion -Induction Start:Mo- tors -These are used where con- •- siderab]e power is required to .start -a load or wherethe, power requirement of a machine or' equipment .may fluctuate tem- porarily. , Repulsion - Induction motora have a starting torque of ablaut four' ,times their normal: .running power. These motors,' will continue to operate With reduced voltage: They are ,suit- able Mr „large seed cleaning and grading `.plants, ' feed grinders, ,large -. pumps, air compressors,, ;etc 0 • . • The Sinal'' Gas Engine Where.' electric. service cannot be used, the small air-cooled gasoline. en- gine • may be the best source of power. Ass a rule the horse- power rating of •huch an engine should be about 50% greater than the power of an electric motor which might otherwise be used. p • • Two 'cycle air-cooled engines are now more reliable than they were a few years ago. Generally their normal operating speed is much higher than that of the, conventional four cycle engine. Their light weight and speed makes them suitable for port- able machines such as the rotary knife type of lawn mower, power chain saws, marine engines, etc, Special lubricating oils must be used and mixed precisely in the proportions recommended by the manufacturers to obtain maxi- mum efficiency and minimum of wear to the vital parts. * 0 0 The four cycle engine is prob- ably still the most satisfactory for general use around the farm. Speeds may be regulated by means of a throttle lever or one of several types of automatic speed governors. Some engines also may be fitted with geared speed reduction units at ratios as low as 6 to 1 which make them easily adaptable for equip- ment which must be operated at low speeds, • * 0 Gasoline containing ethyl tetra lead such as that used in auto- mobiles should not be used. Or- dinary or regular gasoline which does not contain ethyl tetra lead, when used with a heavy duty type of lubricating oil for the crank case, will result in less deposits in the combustion chamber and less fouling of the spark plugs and valve stems. Greater efficiency and longer trouble-free operation can be expected. 0 4 .. M Changes in Poultry Farming in Canada are bringing a rectum - tion in the number of small fait flocks and the appearance 'of large ,commerical flocks. This Jr accompanied by decreasing pro- fit margins making the poultry- man ever more conscious of pro- duction costs. These changes have brought about a reappraisal by egg producers of breeds and crosses. * u The heavy,. 'dual - purpose breeds and crosses which have been popular among poultrymen for many years now appear to be losing favor to light breeds and crosses. There are two reasons for this: (1) The price of fowl has been low in recent years, thus reducing the meat value of the sxarcass; (2) Light birds, re- quire less feed for maintenance and hence, when compared on the basis of equal egg produc- tion, produce eggs more econ- omically than heavy birds. A four pound bird producing 200 eggs per year consumes about 78 pounds of feed, while a six pound bird laying at the same rate consumes about 98 pounds of feed. On this basis the light bird produces one dozen eggs on 4.7 pounds of feed, while the heavy bird requires 5.9 pounds of feed for one dozen eggs. This represents a saving of about one. dollar per bird per year for the light birds. Since many heavy breeds are popular and have good growth, liveability, and production rec- ords, there is a natural reluc- tance on the part of producers to switch to other breeds. But low fowl prices have decreased the income from this ` source, em- phasizing the necessity for eco- nomical egg production. Present trends indicate that profit from the laying flock must come largely from egg production and poultrymen are looking to `the light breeds and crosses with their lower maintenance re- quirements for more economical egg production. How Royalty Eats Many who are interested is the preparation and presenta- tion of good food, may have wondered what it would belike to arrange a royal banquet. Now someone who has ar- ::•ranged many of these has writ- -'ten a book, "Fit For A Iinget He is F. J. Corbitt, who was at Buckingham Palace for twenty years and was appointed Dep- uty Comptroller of Supply. la his easy, graphic style, he des cribes important and splendid royal occasions from the inside. When our Queen was married in 1947, nine wedding cakes •' were sent the gifts of manufac- turers who had connections with the royal family. They were 'dis- played on a long trestle table in the middle of the state din ing-room, with the largest and most magnificent cake in the centre. The large mirrors on the dining -room's walls reflected the ! cakes and gave a *tremendous impression of whiteness. - - The nine manufacturers were invited to the Palace to give details of the ingredients and recipes of their cakes. One manufacturer was very late -for the appointment as his car had broken down on the way, but was delighted to find King George VI and Queen Elizabeth still in the dining -room after' his rivals had left. After the wedding festivties there were still several thousand pieces of cake to be cut up, packed and posted off. Those that did not go to friends went to hospitals.

When questioned, he told the cops he lived in the wooden box. Porcos does odd jobs around the city. Says he likes his odd dwelling - it's tiny, it's cold, but it's home! WHAT PRICE CHEESECAKE? - Hollywood's most -photographed publicity picture model during 1956 was curvesome Kathy Marlowe. In scads of publicity •stills, she was "Miss" everything from "Miss Travelling Saleslady," to` Miss Get -the -Dents -Out -of -Your -Fenders." About all she got out of it was the .r,,ealization'that pin-up fame can be a financial bust, too. Her total take, for all her'photogi'aphiqposturing in 1956, including five movie: bit roles, was "less than $3,000," Typical of Kathy's "Miss", roles are those pictured above. Left to, right she is "Miss Long White" (for the potato' industry), "Miss Sun Goddess" (to plug a California desert resort) and demonstrating the egg -frying temperature on a movie set *location, including;' name of the ;picture, of 1,ourse.
