Here is a book which ex• plodes that convenient theory by presenting some simple facts con• earning the vast complexities called. term problems. it is called "Social Responsibility in Farm Leadership," An Analysis of Parma Problems and Farm Lead- ership in Action, by Walter 1v, Wilco; and while it refers sped - fleetly to conditions south of the border, Canadian farmers eon read it with both interest and profit. a . a As the title promises, it puts farm problems in perspective as long-term challenges requiring long- range solutions. It also challenges farmers themselves and their farm organisation leaders to seek solu- tions within the framework of what will prove beneficial not only to themselves but to their community and the nation as a whole. 4 * 8 The points of agreement and the differences between the major farm organizations, and reasons for them, are carefully explored and a realistic conclusion set forth: divlduals with di f f e r en t back- grounds of training and experteuee and different ethical attitudes will continue to differ on such ques- tions." Yet, despite differences, step-by-step solutions can be evolv- ed and will be evolved more quick- ly If all concerned - farmers, farm leaders, legislators, industry, etc, - make the adjustments re- quired by changing patterns of so- cial and economic life. 8 e 8 in an era when "each year there are approximately twice as many farm boys reaching working age as there are farms vacated by the re- tirement or death of the farm op- erator," the book raises a key ques- tion: "Have we developed such it large group of production -minded MUSCt.E MAN - If you go for men of muscle and more muscle, here's your boy. He's Arthur Harris, winner of the "most muscular man" contest, held during the national AAU weight lifting championships. scientists that our public investment in research and education is orien- ted too much toward efforts to in- crease immediate production and too little toward achieving more ef- ficient (listnbution, wider mantels+ and a better Valance between in- come -earning opportunities in farm hag and in other occupations?" * * It urges also that plane for aid. Ing low-income farmers make a dis' Unction between families needing aid only to get on their feet and make their own way and those who are typical welfare cases. It deals with the social responsibilities in• volved in problems of migrant tabor, and explores many other as peels of farmers' present dillirul ties, 8 4 0 The first paragraph of the book sets a high ethical tone when It quotes an early policy statement by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson: "Tire supreme test of any government pottey, agricultural or other, should be, Mow will it affect the character, morals, and well-being of our people?' . It is doubtful if any man can be politic- ally free who depends upon the State for kustenance," * * o. But immediately the author warns: "Christian ethics, however, does not necessarily point to a single economic philosophy" - a fact which the succeeding pages make plain. The book early acknowledges that "government farm price sta- bilization activities probably have become a permanent part of our economic system" in the United States. O * 0 The book is one of a series de- voted to a comprehensive study of ethics in relation to modern econ- omic life, initiated under the Fed. eral Council of Churches, which has now Merged in the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S. A. The distinguished Charles P. Taft heads the commit- tee directing the project. Mr. Wil- co; the writer of the book, is fop mer editor of the Journal of Farm Economies, has served as a con- sultant to the Senate aad house Committees on Agriculture, and now is serving the United Nations brood and Agriculture Organization.

When 3iarie Reels was a tiny girl feeding the London spar- rows Leopold was an Eton school- boy - different already from most schoolboys for, during his holidays, his father saw to it that he served in Flanders in the ranks of a Bel- gian infantry battalion. When Leopold married lovely Princess Astrid of Sweden, Marie threw flowers from her balcony at the wedding coach. Fleetingly her future bridegroom smiled up tit her, and that was all. .But when Leopold became King, Marie was affected by the faint outer ripples of the installation ceremony, Her lawyer father hall by then become Illinister of Agriculture and took his official place in the procession. Thnugh some of Marie's people were still Ostend fisherfolk, the Baels now had a seaside villa at 1,e Zo(te.

The lonely widower, the three royal children - lovely Princess Char- lotte young Prince Baudouin, little Prince Albert - ,Marie gathered them all into her affectionate heart. When the three children heard that Marie might become their governess, they clapped their hands. For Leopold this seemed a sensible arrangement, The woman whom he now regarded so tenderly would be close at his aide. But the King soon found that this prelude to marriage stirred national resentment, Astrid had been so perfect a queen that his people could scarcely bring them- selves to consider a successor. Before the controversy could be settled, the war clouds gathered - and Belgium faced a worse tragedy than any mesailiance of the throne, Hitler marched. Leopold took the field at the head of his army, and although the brief campaign was fought With great gallantry, sur- render was inevitable.

B.A. B.O: Jesus Is the Son of God Hebrews 1:1-3; 2:1-4; 6:1-3. Memory Selection: God - bath In these last days spoken unto us by his Son. Hebrews 1:1-2. The churches to which the letters in the New Testament are written we're composed mainly of Gentiles, The Chris- tian Jews were a small major- ity. But the letter which we are to study' for three Sundays is specifically addressed to the He- brews. The Hebrews or Jews (as they are more commonly called today) number over 10 million. About 5 million live in USA and about half that number in New York City. About a million live in Palestine. Only a very small minority accept the New Testa- ment. It is striking that this letter to the Hebrews begins by em- phasizing that Jesus is the Son of God. This is fundamental to all that follows in the letter. The events recorded in the Old Tes- tament are preliminary and pre- paratory to the revelation of God's Son as revealed in the New Testament. - Strangely enough there are some who belong to the Chris- tian Church who question the deity of Jesus. Almost all agree that he was a good man. But how could he be good and affirm that he was the Son of God it he were not. The attack on his deity is often subtle. The manner of his birth is questioned. A pro- minent minister in a book re- cently says concerning the Vir- gin Birth, "How can a doctrine be essential to a religion if the Founder of that religion said nothing about it?" How do we know that Jesus said nothing about the manner of his birth? We can only say that there is no record of his saying anything about it. But Matthew and Luke record the Virgin Birth. That is sufficient reason for any Bible - believing Christian. It is diffi- cult to see how any one can be a Christian and yet reject a por- tion of the Bible which reveals Christ to us. Jesus is the Son of God. John asks, "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?" 1 John 2:22. That is a strong statement but since it is in the Bible it is not too strong. "I always encourage my husb- and to recline in his favourite easy chair and put his feet on the man- telpiece." "Why on earth do you do that.?"
