It is also a very restful Sunday after a decidedly hectic week. What with otte thing and another eve had late nights and extra busy days all last week so we don't mind a quiet day at all. Not that the expected 1: to be quiet - Partner's brother and his wife from Matt-,ttra were supposed to arrive but something upset their plans so the visit has been postpon- ed. Another brother, living in Tor- onto, left for Englund last Thurs. day, so, with Bob away up north the Clarke family- seems to be on the Hove. Except us -as long as there are cows to look after I guess this family stay's l retty well put. •* * e Incidentally, that of course, is what some folk object to most in connection tt'itli farming --that is, farming without help, You are, as one malt put it, tied absolutely to the. cow's tails: Which we Must admit is true. Whether- you keep two cows • or tat enty the result is the sante-you have to be there to look after them. Milk distributors have it arranged so that there is no Sunday delivery of stalk in the cities ---now if only the milk could be ;hut off at the source how con- t-eitient that would be: Or would it? Conte to think of it it might not. seem such a good idea when the bi- monthly milk cheque carne along: \\'ell, with all this wonderful weather we are having it is hard to realise that Clariet ass is only a few week; away -even though Toronto did have its I1loesttr Santa Claus parade yesterday. }low I do enjoy that broadcast -the bands, and the children shouting and laughing with excitement, -That is one time when it would be nice to have television. I wonder if Dr. Brock Chisholm -would really asset to deny children that delightful mai colourful event? 11tave a feeling that most children accept the Santa Llan; phantasy for just exactly what it is --a tnake.be- lieve story that fits la with alt the colour and excitement o' the Christ- mas season. Children are essentially young realists and while they like to play "Let's pretend" I doubt if many of theta hare any illusions alto;a Jolly Old aaihta. By the way. I wonder how many of you people are interested in house -plants: About ninety per cent, I would ..ay! And. while you are interested in them as plants 1'- you realized what an impor- snt part they play in. social life - how they promote friendliness and good fellowship/ One might even sat- they are good social ice -break- ers. \Vhy do 1 say that? Well, anong other tilitigs, Partner was doing a bit of c7Ilt•asding last week and I had the job of driving him around, and at smite houses I went in with hirci ... and while Partner was talking to the man of the house I (lasted with his wife. Two of these ladies I knew only slightly but because they had rather un- usual hotl_e-plants we were soots away to a good start and ready to tail: for the rest of the afternoon. 30 fact I came away with slips and little rootlets that it would have been ungracious to refuse. The fust time Partner made no coin- Mat, the second time he remarked -"And what do you thuilc you are doing? Every place we call you ;:ou_e away with a mysterious par- cel." ,The Iady of the house laughed. "Just cacti," site explained. "any- one interested in cacti can always do with a few new varieties." And isn't that true? By no stretch 01 imagination can cacti be called beau- tiful -- except when they are in blootin--yet their very oddity makes then fascinating plants to grow. Incidentally- two cacti cuttnisiasts are never at a loss for soruethiug to talk about ---and you know 50 many people will tell you that plants and slips given in fr'ierdship are more likely to grow than any bought from a greculepttse. An- other thing that is often be'tvilder- ing-sone folk cannot grow cer- tain types of plants and yet are successful with ether*. African vio- lets, for instance, you see them in some hooses just .a mass of bloom -in others sickly looking plants with hardly a bloom at all. Last time 1 was in Toronto I lets leaf- ing through a book ou growing violets, It was $3 and quite small. I'll go on growing my violets by trial and error! Anyway, no two people have the sante theory. One person .1 know dissolves a teaspoon 0f trashing soda iu a quart of water and uses it to water her r:olcts- in the saucers, To promote bloom I find it a good idea not to let my plants grow too many leaves. • Have any of you people any sure- fire ideas you would like to pass along and share with others? If so, drop me a line and I will be glad to include your information in this column. \\'Ito knows -as a result your own violets might grow better. Bread upon the waters, you know. 01d Hands.

Warren, B.A„ B,D, The Stewardship of the Gospel Acts 8:4-8; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Philippians 1:12-18 Memory Verse: Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mys- teries of God• Moreover it is re- quired in stewards, that a man be •found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2. A young prosinian ou returning 1ront afeslyfntergChinristthe lum- ber camp was asked, "Did the fel- lows tease you at all about being a Christian?" "Not at ail," replied the young man, "they never found out I was one." The comment may be added, "Neither be was." The mark of a Christian is that lie wants to share the good news with others. To see others find Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour greatly in- creases their own joy. Philip, a dea- con is the church, realized that he was a steward of the Gospel. When the persecution at Jerusalem served to scatter the Christians and send thein c'verywherc preaching the Gospel, he went to Samaria. Lun- cleau spirits were cast out and there were snarly miraculous healings. "There eras great jc.y int that city." \\'e have great responsibility. Paul said. "We are ambassadors for Christ. as 112011911 God did he- -seeds you by us: we pray- you in Christ'; stead, be ye reconciled to God." What . an 1111011190 relation- ship! 112 the last part of the lesson Paul is writing from Rome..11e is e. prisoner. But he uses tine oppor- tunity to witness in the palace and other (daces. Some of Caesar's hot elicild are converted. Other Christians beconie nodi mare bold to preach Christ, Paul says that "the things which happened to me have £alien out rather unto the fur- therance of the Gospel." Yes, the Gospel must go on. Though some of its messengers are persecuted and imprisoned, they must still pub- lish the Glad 'Tidings, Others must double their efforts. We are stew- ards of the Gospel. We are only feitheul as the let others know that Jeans Christ call save them too. REAL SCOUTS The three little Scouts who had been sent out from the meeting to do their good deed or else •- returned to report. "1 (lid any good deed, sir," the first reported to the Scoutmaster. "I helped an old lady across the street." "I helped her atcros4, too," said the second Scout, "Ste tool" said the third. "Do you mean," the Scoutmaster. demanded, "that it took three of you to !help one lady across the street?" "Oh, yes, sir," the Scouts agreed.
