THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time,-- The annuneiation to
Joseph and to Mary probably took.
,place in 6 B.C. Our - Lord was
born in the winter of 5-4 13.0:
The visit to the Temple at Jerusa-
lem, when Jesus was twelve years
old, is thought to have occurred
In April, A.D.. 8,
Place. - The annunciation to
Joseph and Mary took place in
Nazareth some seventy miles
north of Jerusalem, where Jesus
lived until fie was a mature man;
The birth of our Lord took place
in Bethlehem six miles below Jer-
usalem. The circumcision of
Christ, and all events connected
with the Temple at the time of
His -birth, took place in.Jerusalem.
To what place in Egypt the holy
family fled we do not know.
Adoration of Simeon
25. And behold, there was a
man in Jerusalem, whose name
was Simeon; and this man was
righteous and devout, looking for
the consolation of Israel: and the
Holy Spirit was upon him. 26. And
It had been revealed unto him by
the Holy Spirit, that he should not
see death, before he had seen the
Lord's Christ. 27. And he came
in the Spirit into the temple: and
when the parents brought in the
child Jesus, that they might do
concerning him after the custom
of the law, 28. then he received
him into his arms, and blessed
God, and oath, 29. Now lettest
thou thy servant depart, Lord,
According to thy word, in peace;
80. For mine eyes have seen thy
salvation, 31, Which thou has pre-
pared before the face of all peo-
ples; 32. A light for revelation
to the Gentiles, and the glory of
thy people Israel. 33. And his fa-
ther and his mother were marvel-
ling at the things which were
spoken concerning hien; 84, and
Simeon blessed them, and said
unto Mary his mother, Behold,
this child is set for the falling
and the rising of many in Israel;
and for a sign which is spoken
against; 35. yea and a sword shall
pierce thine own soul; that
thoughts out of many hearts may
be revealed." Nothing is known
of this aged saint, except what is
here recorded by Luke. He is de-
scribed simply as righteous and
devout, as looking for the Mes-
siah, and as moved by the Holy
Spirit to believe that he would
not die before he had seen the
Messiah. Guided by the Spirit
to the courts of the Temple, he no
sooner saw Jesus there, than the
words of the famous Nunc Dimit-
tis rose to his lips. Whilst Mary
was wondering at the meaning of
such words, Simeon turned to her
and foretold the diverse results
of the mission of Jesus. A stum-
bling block and an offense to
some, it would be the inspiration
of a new life to others; and with
her own blessedness would mingle
anguish unspeakable. In the is-
sue the deepest needs of many
souls would be excited and met
and men's heats would be probed,
enriched and satisfied. By what
sign Simeon was taught of the
spirit to recognize the child of
Mary as Christ, we are not told.
In his song Simeon does not pray
for death, he thanks God for per-
mitting him to see what many pro-
phets and kings had desired to
see and were not permitted, the
salvation he had promised; and
having seen it, he says that he is
ready to go when God wills. The
singular sweetness, the calm beau-
ty of the song of Simeon has al-
ways been recognized and for ag-
es it has entered into evening ser-
vice of the church. Both the An-
glican and the Roman Catholic
churches have appointed it as a
hymn at vespers, teaching us to
live every day as if we knew it
to be our last; and embracing
Christ in faith, to thank God for
Him and to he ready in peace to
depart in hint.
Growth of Jesus
89. "And when they had
accomplished all things that
were according to the law
of the Lord, they returned into
Galilee, to their own city Nazar-
eth. 40. and the child grew, and
waxed strong, filled with wisdom:
and the Grace of God was upon
him." The Saviour of the world,
God's Son incarnate, grew up
physically in the most normal
way, with nothing to mae his
bodily deveopment In the saint
way, he grew up mentally, attain-
ing more and snore strength in
hind, understanding and reason-
ing, The yotmg lair attained more
and more wisdom in the Biblical
sense of the right knowledge of
God, and His salvation, coupled
with its application to life In the
case of Jesus this included the
realization of Hie own relation

A Weekly Column About This' and That In The
Canadian Arany
It's easy enough to nacre out for
yourself why the Army applies the
nickname, "Dusty" to Private Mil•
ler or Corporal Rhodes, but It Is
a vastly different matter when you
come to Sergeant Clark -'or Colonel
Clark -or even Lieutenant -General
Clark, for that matter., All "Clarks"
in the AI'my are called "Nobby"
or "Knobby" aocording to the edu•
dation of the mponoor.
Don't ask me why. I don't know.
Furthermore, _I don't think even
Rudyard Kipling knew.
All this looks beside the ,point.
But it isn't, It plays a part In the
explanation of tide column, You
see the general idea of this weekly
feature, which will come to you
from all sorts of places where
Canadians are training to play
their.. part as men,to to tell John
Citizen all -well, nearly alt -
about the Canadian Army.
"What do you mean, all about
the Army?" asked a Brass Hat
with whom I discussed the col.
umn. Never mind the rest of the
conversation -the answer is in the
preceding sentence and that ane.
wee is: "What Is a Brass Hat?"
A "Braes Hat," paradoxkaly
enough, may not have any brass
(gold braid or leaves) on his hat
at all. Generally speaking, though,
a Brass Hat is a senior officer on
the Staff. He may be recognized
by colored "gorget patches" on his
lapels and a band of the same color
sound his cap which varies to the
branch of the Staff to which he be-
longs.
we'll go into that detail later -
it only came in here, like "Dusty"
Rhodes, as an illustration or the
sort of thing, amongst othera, that
this column will interest itself in
from week to week.
By now, perhaps you are wonder-
ing how the title was chosen.
Well, you see it was this way.
Any time you want a name for a
new baby, or a pup, or a column,
you describe it to your friends,
ask or their suggeations, discard
them all -and choose a name your-
self.
That's what happened in this
case. One suggestion offered was,
"Your Army." True enough, It is
Your Army and St's my Army--
sometimes
rmy=sometimes we don't realize our
ownership and responsibility as
much as we should. But one or
two publisers thought that sound-
ed too reminiscent of "My Day."
to God in connectior with the sav-
ing thoughts of God.
A Normal Boy-
In
ogIn Luke 2: 41-52 is the only
account we have of any event be-
tween the early childhood of Jesus
in Nazareth and His baptism,
which probably took place at the
age of thirty. This is probably
the fust time that Jesus beheld
the city of Jerusalem. It may be
that He went up every year there-
after, but we do not know. And
where would the Son of God be
found? In the Temple of God, in
the midst of the teachers, "both
hearing them, and asking them
questions." The entire text clear-
ly implies that Jesus did not know
everything when he was twelve
years of age. He was a normal
boy. He grew in wisdom. At the
same time, we do not believe
there was any actual ignorance in
the mind of Jesus. He knew God
perfectly as a boy of twelve. He
also knew Hini perfectly as a man
of thirty. Furthermore, our Lord
knew definitely at this time what
He had come to earth to accom-
plish, just as He knew definitely
throughout His life the purpose
for which God had sent Him. His
heart directed Him into what
should have been the holiest place
in the City of Jerusalem, open to
one not a priest. By His conver-
sation, He indicated that His life,
even at this early age, was dom-
inated by the will of His Father.
Nevertheless, though He knew
God, and knew Himself to be the
Son of God, and the Messiah
announced by the prophets, yet
He returned to Nazareth with Hie
parents, and remained obedient to
them as a perfect )Soy.
So it followed several other sug-
gestions into the discard.
Then, a few nights ago, together
with a dozen and a half other shiv-
ering reporters and cameramen,
the Adjutant -General, the Chief or
the Air 'Stele, some Air Force of.
Deer's and ground crews wlio have
to bravo the weather regardless of
rain and sleet, I watched a trails -
Port ailcrglt descend "in the dark-
nese at Ottawa. Out of the plane
stepped Defence Minister Ralston,
back from England. I remember-
ed the legend that even on a 45-
minute flight Colonel Ralston sits
right down at a desk and works
from start to finish of the trip.
What he must have been 'work-
ing on this time would be, obvious-
ly, a speech to be made in the
House of Commons, the opening of
which he had missed, by the way,
because of bad,iveatlter encounter-
ed .on his crossing ffotn,England,
Forgetting new oolumns and their
vexatious titles I decided I would
go to the "House" when, as the
Press Gallery men put it, "Ralston
is up" and listen to the kind of
apeeoh that is prepared on a Diane,
I did, So, I noticed, did a num-
ber of membens who had been ab-
sent from the chamber until. Col,
Ralston started to speak,' What he
said covered many columns In the
daily papers. That is what he sold
to you. But what he said to me
was contained in one paragraph of
Hansard -he gave me a title for
this column. Here is the quotation
Which followed a reference, to the
work of civilian recruiting cone
mlttees. Their work, he said,
would "bring to all our citizens a
keener appreciation of the fact
that the Army is the individual
citizen's army, and not an outside
organization of which they know
nothing and care less,'
There was the title. -"The Indi-
vidual Citizen's Army," and here
except for one more brief note, is
your first column.
The brief note? Another para-
dox. All "Browns" in the Army
are nicknamed "Buster" -except,
and this must prove the rule,
Major-General B. W. Brown, D.S.O.,
M.C., Adjutant -General, whose nick-
name is "Sam."
Canada Produces
Most Aluminum
Canada's production of alumin-
um has increased five times since
the start of the war, bringing her
up from third to first place
among the producing nations of
the world, John Bassett, jr., told
the Royal Montreal Club at a
lunch recently. Mr. Bassett said
the United States would not at-
tain the Dominion production fig-
ure before March, 1942.
Before the war, lie said, first
place alternated between Ger-
many and the United States. He
ohserved, however, that Canada's
output would not remain static
when the U.S. regained' premier
production honors.
Mr. Bassett outlined the devel-
opment of the aluminum industry
on its present continent -wide
scope, from the creolite sources
of Greenland to the bauxite mines
of British Guiana. In this connec-
tion he noted the great develop-
ment of the Saguenay district
which only 15 years ago was a
farming area. Hydroelectric devel-
opment in the Saguenay had to-
day reached 1,250,000 h.p. with
a potential output of 1,750,000
h.p. Just before the war, its out-
put was 750,000 h.p.
Ball -Bearing Shells
For Trench Mortars
Ball-bearing shells for trench
mortars, enabling them to be fired
on a flat trajectory instead of
having to be lobbed high in the
air, are outstanding among new
patents announced by the U.S.
Patent Office. They are the in-
vention of General Amos A. Fries,
former chief of the Army's Chem-
ical Warfare Service, says Science
Service.
FOREIGN MINISTER
China moves toward even
closer co-operation with the Unit-
ed States with elevation of T. V.
Soong, above, toforeign minis-
try. Soong is a long-time good
friend of America.
Hitherto; trench- mortar fire
has had to be conducted at high
angles -45 degrees t r more -be-
cause of the friction offered by
the shell as it was dropped into
the barrel. Weapons of this type
are loaded from the nuzzle; the
shell carries its propelling charge
in a'cartridge attached to its base,
which is fired by a fixed pin at
the bottom of the tube. By elim-
inating much of the friction with
ball bearings, General Fries states,
it now becomes possible to slide
the shell down the tube at a very
low angle, permitting the weapon
to be used for direct instead of
indirect fire.
Low -trajectory or direct fire is
desirable, especially for action
against ' tanks, rapidly moving
troops in the open, and pillboxes
with overhead protection but open
firing pouts which cannot be ef-
fectively reached by high -angle
fire.
10 Rules On How
To Save On Tires
27,000,000 Motorists in Unit-
ed States Told How To Save
Rubber
The Office of Poduction Manage-
ment of the United States has ask-
ed the country's 27,000,000 motor-
ists to save rubber by using street
cans and public buses where pos-
sibe, and to hold pleasure driving
to a niiuhnlun.
The defense agency suggested
that neighbors pool their automo-
biles, using Duly one to go to work,
instead of several, and urged house-
wives to carry home small pack-
ages instead of asking the mer-
chant to deliver them.
Where cars must be used, OPM
asked observance of 10 rules to
make tires last longer:
1. Have worn tires retreaded in-
stead of buying new ones; the cost
i's` usually about half that of a
new tire, and will give about 80
per cent as much wear.
2• Cut out High speeds; tires
will last twice as long at 40 miles
an ,cur as at 60.
3. Inflate tires weekly to roconr•
mended levels. Never let pressure
fall more than three pounds below
recommended minimums.
4. Don't stop short or make jack'
rahbit starts.
5. Avoid striking curbs, road
holes, and rocks.
6. Check wheel alignment twice
a year. A tire one-half inch out of
line will be dragcd sideways 87
feet out of every mile.
7. Repair ell urte, leaks and
breaks promptly; ',delay may cause
damage that cannot be repaired.
8. e , nga wheel positions every
5,000 miles.
9. Always get the lige made to
fit the rim of your car; check with
your garage if you are not euro
what size tire you require,
10. Don't speed around curves.

Home from a voyage in which
he was attacked twice by enemy
boats, once by a U-boat, three times
by bombs, and once by shells, one
of the British merchant captains
ewpre:.,sed himself as follows:
"That was by the way, but what
worries me are these--perlshing
income tax people."
