Clarke a * * a * I thought this week would be a quiet week—one in which 1 could get on with my work with- out too many interruptions. And was it? Well, I'll let you be the judge. You may recall that last Sun- day we had a chimney fire—that in itself was a bad beginning. Monday was more or leas of a hub-bub—getting our son away again on his trip back to Van- couver Island. Tuesday I spent the whole afternoon getting a permanent— and ermanentand I can't think of any job that I dislike more than that. Wednesday, after my ordinary work was done, I sorted wool, tied up parcels ano prepared my war work report ready for our Institute meeting the next day, I was determined that this time I would arrange things so that I didn't have to rush around at the last minute. Alas for my plans! * * * Thursday—the day of the meet- ing—a visitor arrived before we had even finished breakfast. It was eleven -thirty before she left. I was just about frantic. There was I with never a dish or a milk pail washed, nothing ready for dinner, and two chickens to draw and pack so that I could leave then at the transport office on my way to the meeting at 2.30. I started in on the chickens— which Partner had picked that morning—and the grocer arrived with our weekly order. I got him attended to when another car drove in. This ime it was a man come to borrow the Institute chairs which we take charge of between meetings. Then I un- wrapped the fish that the grocer had brought, and which I wanted for dinner, and it was frozen solid. To cut a long story short I arrived at the meeting ten.rnin- utes late, but how I ever got there at all is something I will never snow, * * Friday — ah, that was the maimaxl It was a cold, dull day— Yae sort of day when you feel you must keep at some sort of active work otherw•!se the dreariness of the weather would get you down, So I started to houseclean the pantry. Now the pantry, I should tell you, opens off the dining - ream and I knew I would be tracking hi and out so I didn't 'bother to clean up the dining - room at all, Well, you know what it is like to clean a pantry—dishes here and there all over the place. Pots and pans, calla and containers are put wherever you can find room for then., just so long as you can get elbow room to work, I got along fine in the forenoon, After dinner I 'started in again and was busy on the second half of the ceiling when I heard a little tinkle on the doorbell. It took me so by surprise I nearly fall off the table. Well, there was only one thing to do—and 'hat was answer the door. So I did—and there was our minister! Ye gods( The fire was out in the living-room—there was only ono place to receive him and that was in the dining -room with its overflow from the pantry! Well, of course I apologised for the disorder but I also said I was glad to see him and if ho could sit in a muddle and visit, then I could, too. So we sat, and in a little while Partner joined us, and believe it or not, we all three sat and talked. for over two hours. And of course we had a cup of tea, but believe me, there was no style to that ten party. The minister has only been with us two years. I wonder what he' will think of some of Ms flock! After he had gone it was chore time and when Partner went to the barn he found Elmer was missing. Who is Elmer? Of course you have heard of Elsie, the Cow, haven't you? Well, this isn't Elsie, it's Elmer, and he is not much more than a year- ling. Elmer, apparently, had seen some of his girl friends over on the next farm and had gone to visit them. It took Partner and two neighbour boys to bring Elmer back to home pastures the next afternoon. And that was our week! Beautiful Spies Soviet. Russia was reported by the Germans recently to be send- ing "beautiful and intelligent" women spies behind the German lines -parachuting them down at night. The Svenska Morgonbladet quoted a German war correspon- dent as saying the women carried radio transmitters. HOLDS IMPORTANT POST Lieut, -Cbl. Margaret Eaton, Assistant Adjutant -General (C.

Exodus 20:17. Memory Verse: God ... Gareth for you. I Peter 5:7. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The Ten Commandments were delivered in 1445 B,C.; our Lord's teachings concerning cov- etousness in this lesson were uttered in December, A.D. 29. Place.—The Ten Command- ments were given on Mount Sinai; the passage taken from Luke is from a discourse delivered in Peraea, on the east of the Jordan River. Sin of Covetousness "And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance yith me." The man was not a disciple but someone who wished tc use God to further his own selfish interests. There are many who have no place in their lives for Christ, but are ready to en- list the support of His teaching when it is to their advantage to do so. "And he said unto frim, Man, who made me a judge or a di rider over you?" Our Lord ca, not to act as an arbitrator, to ,..ter - fere with the civil courts. He came to save men from their sins, to root out this spirit of covet- ousness. When a sinner is par- doned his motive then is to share what he has and not to covet more. -"And he said unto them, Take heed, and ]seep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in' the abundance of the things which he possess- eth." Men are to be aware not only of avarice, a greedy desire to possess what belongs to an- other; they are warned against selfish possession. Men lust for gold, possessions, and become so enslaved to them that they be- come their very life, the things most dear to them. This explains why covetousness is idolatry, The Foolish Rich Man "And lie spoke a parable unto them,' saying, The ground of a certain rich mmr brought forth plentifully. And he reasoned with himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and all my goods." There is as unpardonable selfishness in this man's plans. With more posses- sions than he knows what to do with he does not say that he is going to help the poor or share what he has. There is no ex- pression.of thanks to God for an abundant harvest. A Foolish Scheme "And I will say 50 my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid POP—Now, Pop's Sunk up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry." Toil in getting and anxiety in keePing possession„ for one's own self. ish indulgence is but a poor result of slaving for years. End' of Rich Man's flans "But Godsaidunto hitn, Thou. foolish ono, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou haat prepared, whose shall they be?" A man who lives as though lie is only body is in., Gleed a foot. Man is soul as well as body. 'Klan heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall. gather them.' Any night our soul may be required of as. He who trusts and follows Christ and has his treasure laid up in Heaven, will. not be • dismayed, however sud- den the call, "So is he that layeth up trea- sure for himself, And is not rich toward God," All men who are living only for themselves, for this world's treasure, are as this foolish farmer. How much better to get joy out of wealth while we live by using it wisely to help others and to spread the Gospel. Victory Over Covetousness "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore, I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment" Our ,., rthiy concerns are His care and He will not fail to supply the essential needs of those who trust and obey. God's Care for Us "Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store -Chamber nor barn; and God feedeththem: of how much more value are ye than the birds!" If God cares' for the rav- ens in that he has divinely ar- ranged for their need to be met, will not do less, but more, for man—the crown of creation. Folly of Anx;ety "And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?' This re- veals the helplessness and the limitation of man. The cubit was originally the Length of the elbow to the end of the middle finger. It is generally calculated to be a foot and a half. U. S. Chinese Air Units Now Ready The first units of a mixed Chinese-American bomber -fighter wing have arrived at China bases primed for deadly teamwork against the Japanese. Trained together, the Chinese and Americans will go side by side into combat in American - built bombers and fighters using American tactics. Marking a new venture in the history of aerial combat, the mix- ed wing is officially called the Chinese - American Composite Wing of the Chinese Air Force. All -Chinese crews man most of the planes. American pilots are sprinkled among the fighter squadrons. RADIO RbPUAT1U REX FROST Did you say "Information please"? Well, here you have .t in pictorial form .. , personalities of the most erudite of the "quiz" shows, The lady -1s Jan Strother, who created the illustrious "Mrs Miniver", heroine of that literary and screen masterpiece of the Battle of Britain. With the famous English authoress are the three regular "experts" of NBC's "In- formation Please" . . the 10.30 to 11 o'clock Monday night spot which packs an estimated listen- ing audience of around twenty millions ... Oscar Levant, music authority; John Kieran, former sports columnist; Franklin P. Adams, literary experat, * When Dau Golenpaul first got the idea for "Information Please" old timers in radio insisted that if the questions were to be tough enough to stump the experts, the whole program would be away over the heads of the average audience. There was also the difficulty of getting men of science or letters who would be willing to "stick their necks out". However they came along, So have the pr'omineut guests of "Information Please" including Wendell Wilkie, Fred Allen, Lillian Gish, Gene Turney, Raymond Gram Swing, and Jimmy Durante .... to men- tion only a few. * * * Since the program has been on the air, it has become apparent that "stumping the experts" is not what appeals to the public most. The most astonishing thing is that most people love to listen and marvel at the manner in which the experts get almost all the answers to the difficult, tricky questions, From November 22, "Information Please" will be brought into Canada over CBM, Montreal; CBL, Toronto; and an Ontario network. * * * We'd like you to know Cy Strange, recent addition to the announcing staff of CFRB.

Cy Strange's friendly, quiet spoken! voice has made many friends everywhere in Ontario. He has one great ambition in life, he says to play a prominent part in stage and radio dramatics. Children Adopt Merchant Ships British school children have been sending Christmas parcels to the merchant ships of their adoption, and some two hundred Allied as well as a thousand Brit- ish ships will get a present from the schools this winter, accord- ing to S. E. Britten, secretary of the Brtiish Ship Adoption So- ciety. He said that the children's parcels had gone to the Far East, the Middle East, Australia an South Africa. The adoption of ships by schools, which started three yearn before the war, has meant much to the foreign merchant captains and seamen who are often "sign- ed on" by the school children as an addition to their own British ship. Farmers In Need Of Fire Protection To the farmer has come In recent years the `telephone, the motor car, hydro -electric energy, the rural mail delivery and other conveniences to make his life lei lonely and to remove many of the disadvantages of living in the country. Among many of the advantages that have not yet come his way, except in a few communities, is protection against fire, And we wish to point out that there is no reason why this should be long delayed. Kent's example. in providing rural fire protection should en- courage others to adopt similar measures.—Chatham Daily News, CANADIANS IN ITALY War correspondents in Italy have in recent days told how fighting there has involved hard climb- ing over hilly, rocky country by the infantry. These Canadians, under German mortar fire, are here beginning a long march to the crest of a hill and new positions. DONT ARGUE.
