Paul made his great appeal, "Through t 11 y knowledge shall the Weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethern and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ." Some argue that there is no harm in drinking liquor as long as you don't get drunk, (Drunk- enness is one of the things of things which it is said, "They which do such things shall not Inherit the kingdom of Gocl," Gal, 5:12). But what is drunken- ness? The experts demonstrate that a very small amount of al- cohol affects the brain. The indi- vidual is "impaired" though not "drunk" as that term is usually understood. The committee arranging the Sunday School lessons diel well to include Paul's statement on fornication in this temperance • lesson. It was a live issue in the wicked seaport city of Corinth. History, biblical and profane, il- lustrates the point that a drink or two increases the possibility of fornication. The brakes don't work so well. Inhibitions and moral restraints lose their effect and the individual more readily yields to the lust of the flesh. If one may trust the findings of surveys, about three quarters of young men and half of the young women.indulge in this sin before marriage, What an in- dictment against our civilization. How dare we call it Christian? No wonder so many marriages founder. We need a revival of old-fashioned Bible religion. 1IN Gordolt Brunk .Easy Work Helps Weeds seem to thrive in any weather. Many people get dis- couraged early, especially when they see these pests literally crowding out their flowers and vegetables. One should take hope from the fact that one thorough weeding will bring the situation well under control. But. this means pulling the weeds out by the roots or cutting them off be- low the soil's surface with a cul- tivator or hoe. This first and thorough job is carried out after the newly seeded flowers and vegetables are nicely up, say with their .second or third set of leaves well started. Once that first clean-up has been carried out, a little routine cultivation will take care of the garden for the rest of the season, Garden Paths No matter how small the gar- den there will be the problem of paths. Instead of being an eye- sore, these can be made into an attractive feature of the lawn or flower plots or even the vege- table patch. Where traffic is usu- ally concentrated such as near the door or a gate, it is advisable to use some solid material like flagstones, concrete slabs, bricks, Safe y Demonstration -Sgt, Charles P. Pearsall, Director of Toronto Traffic Safely Council, conducts a class in safety regulations. These students are preparing to enter this year's Traffic and Safety Quiz at the Canadian National Exhibition, The Quiz is open to school students up to the age of 16 years, and there will, of course, be cash prizes for the winners, This is an opportunity for students to earn a little extra money and at the same time help make this a safer country where children may run and play at home and at school. For details of this competition send a request to the Canadian National Exhibition, A copy of the prize list with entry forms will be mailed out free of charge. The envelope should be marked "Women's Division," cinder or gravel. With any of these the Main thing is to place firmly and level with ox just slightly above the surrounding grass, so that the lawn mower will trim or even rim right over easily, Where the traffic is light- er, one can simply use grass for the strip of well grown, well fed and tough grass. It is surprising the amount of wear this will give. In lots of public • gardens grass paths are used to divide the flower plots and they are seldom worn titin. Where cin- der or gravel is used in paths or driveways one can eliminate grass and weeds by sprinkling heavily with rock salt or treating with some of the weed sprays. Hints Experienced gardeners have all sorts of little tricks that will add to the interest and satisfaction of gardening. One of the oldest is to soak seed before planting. This applies especially to vege- table seeds like peas, beans, beets and lettuce. By soaking for a very few hours just before planting, germination is hastened and sev- eral days are saved. With carrots' and beets it will help to prepare the rows with special care, dig- ding out the poor or hard soil to a depth of six inches' or a foot, and filling with rich soil with plenty of humus and manure. In such the seeds will germinate quickly and the young vegetables grow without being crowded, Because this special soil is very open there will be less need for thinning and the roots will grow straight. With melons, cucumbers and squash we usually sow in specially rich hills with some old rotten manure if we can find it, With all bedding plants, it is a good plan to pinch back after transplanting, and• especially to remove any flowers or buds. This pinching encourages stouter and healthier growth and in the end we get inch hardier and bigger blooms. Transplanting If` there is any secret about successful transplanting, the an- swer is plenty of moisture. Under normal conditions itis quite pos- sible to water too often, if not too much, and a hose n1 the hands of the careless is not al- ways an unmixed blessing, But in transplanting some extra wat- ering is almost vital.

These worries are normal, but many of them are unnecessary For example: There is a soft spot, ealled the fontanel, on top of a baby's head and many moth- ers fear they will injure their baby if this spot is touched or pressed. The fontanel is tougher than you think and no harm will conte to the well-nourish- ed infant, handled in the ordin- ary way. New mothers worry because their baby's eyes move inde- pendently of each other. Phis is normal and occurs because the muscles that control a baby's eyes are still weak. However, as the muscles get stronger this defect disappears. A true cross eye is much more noticeable and does not disappear. If a baby's eyes don't line up properly at the age of a year, an eye spe- cialist should be consulted. You may think there is some- thing wrong because your baby's legs look "bowed." All new babies' legs look this way be- cause they "tuck them up" be- fore they are born, A baby still does this when he is asleep or relaxed; his knees bend out and the soles of his feet face each other, His legs will straighten out as his muscles grow stronger. Another new -mother worry is a baby's flat feet This too, is normal, because a baby is born with a built-in arch support. This pad of fat snakes his feet loots fiat, It will disappear as he grows and his arches gets strong enough to support hire without this aid. Spitting up is another mater- nal disturber; something most new babies do. And it doesn't really mean anything and it doesn't matter either if the milk he spits up is sour; stomach juices makes it this way. If baby vomits a large amount it really alarms a mother but this is not serious If the baby is otherwise wen and happy. However, if he continues to vomit large amounts each day, your doctor should be consulted. A mother worries when her baby hiccups, while the baby is placid about it. Hiccups just seem to be necessary to a new baby. He hiccups if he eats too fast, eats too'much, if he swal- lows air. The thing 4o do for hiccups is is give him some warm water. Trust yourself and have fun with your baby; your common' aenee won't lead you astray. When your are woerted consult yam. doctor. ,TOIHNNY WON'T PLAY WITH OTHER CHILDRIN: "My four -yeas' old Johnny won't play with other children, He tags after me the whole, day wanting me to amuse hirn. I've tole] him I had work to iso and roots are not broken or disturb- ed. Then the roots must be coy- ' erect firmly with good, fine soil and dampened down with water. if thle sun is Plot .it is Brod to shade for a I'uw hours, Better still, transplant i11 the coot eve- ning, I've tried definite play periods without success. What would you suggest I do now? asks Mrs. J. T. Why not let Johnny help you with your housework? He could dry silver, scrub potatoes, empty ash trays and waste baskets. Thank him and praise him for his help. Buy him a toy tele- phone that rings when dialled and have him 'phone to you from his other -room "office," You'll perhaps learn what is worry- ing or frightening him, if you listen to what he has to say. In a, few days try playing school with him. You be the teacher and as you go about your work Johnny can sit at his desk. In this way you can talk to one another while Johnny does things for himself. Soon you can invite another child to your school. Perhaps in a couple of days, if Johnny is happy with the other child, your pupils can play "recess" on the porch or in the yard. Don't try to rush things and don't lose interest in John- ny's doings nor leave hits our his own too long. You don't want to get him upset again. Most likely Johnny's first recesses wi11 be short. However, when he realizes that you are inside • working and that he can see you or call to you he'll play longer. Don't scold, punish or call him 'fraidiy cat or sissy if he won't stay out with the chil- dren very long and don't dis- cuss this problem when Johnny is with you or can hear you. Try these suggestions and if Johnny doesn't respond, you should consult your doctor. In- eidently, have you been "sneak - Mg g out" on Johnny or leaving slim often with strange sitters? Or p e r h a p s he's not eating enough of the right foods or gets enough sleep. Of course, some four -year-olds go through a clinging -to -mother stage which may last two or three months.

Great Canadian Ptoject-like one caught, surprised, in the sights of a candid camera, 22 of the country's leading cities learned recently that for more than a year past their spikey skylines and bustling streets had been captured in the probing sights of 20 of the best artists Canada can boast. This month, the 22 paintings and 27 sketches produced in the most ambitious paint -brush chronicle of its cities Canada has known, are on the first lap of a year-long, 30 thousand -mile, 14 -cities tour of Latin America and Europe, to be followed by a cross -Canada tour in 1954, Canadians got their first brief glimpse of their urban profiles only a few weeks ago during a six-day show in Ottawa. Then the collection took to the road, a staggering four -ton package of paintings, sketches, 35 specially -designed aluminum display panels, draperies and lighting equip- ment. The ambitious program, Canada's largest artistic good -will gesture abroad, is a project of Samuel 8ronfman, House of Seagram president: Touring as The Seagram Collection of Paint- Ings of Cities of Canada (and with the hearty blessings of official Ottawa), the show owes much to the skilled interpretive hand and tireless organizational work of then -president of the Royal Canadian Academy, artist A, J, Casson. in the above picture, Mr, Samuel Droninlan is seen with a globe on which is 'traced the 30 thousand mile itinerary of the picture exhibit.
