11 CHRONICLES BY
of GINGER FARM !wenrnen P.
Well, here we are again—back
to ordinary everyday life after a
busy week -end with visitors from
the city staying here—that is, a
long week -end, front early Satur-
kiay to Monday afternoon, And you
know how it is, don't you? You
scurry around With the idea of
getting as much of your work done
as you can while your visitors are
sleeping and then before you are

them comes to life and you set

And then you naturally like to
visit for awhile—but oh dear, when
you do that the time just slips
along until first thing you know it
is nearly time for dinner and you
haven't got the last of the break-
fast dishes out of the way. But
late at night—that's when things
really get under way. The men
start talking politica, or discussing
the war, and events, past, pre-
sent and future. The womenfolk
add their small contribution—
whether it is appreciate.] or not is
beside the point. Eventually some-
one says something about it get-
ting late but somebody else sug-
gests another angle to the subject
ander discussion and away you go
again for another hour. Filially a
cup of cocoa and a bite to cat
rounds out the evening and at long
last each person ambles off to his
or her bed. The visitors we hope,
to sound, carefree slumber, while
Partner and I lay our heads on
our respective pillows conscious
that sitting up to the wee sine'
hours isn't so good for a working
man and his lyric, Comes the morn-
ing and we are more than ever
convinced that a hang -over from
late hours and too much talking
isn't the best thing with which to
start another new day.

But there are cows to milk,
stables to clean, hens to care for
and eggs to gather, and as the
day progresses the feeling of fa-
tigue gradually wears itself off.
You make up your mind y9u must

then you settle down to your work
and to catch up on your arrears of '
'sleep how and when you can,

One of our visitors was a man
who had never stayed on a farm
before. We found his comments
very amusing. He couldn't think
what Partner did outside all the
time. He knew that cows were
milked night and morning and that
a farmer had some work to do
'which he referred to as "chores"
but he thought any farmer was
through by noon and -that winter
was really a slack time, "I'm com-
ing down to the barn to sec where
you find alt this work," he said,
Well, he went to the barn—but it
was after the stables had been
cleaned and the cattle watered and
bedding put down. On his return
'l asked him if he had really been
to the barn. "Yes," he answered,
"and I still can't see where all the
work comes in." Partner laughed.
"Come down a little earlier to -
Morrow, fellow, and you will soen
find out!"
* *
Another of our visitors was
hardly a "visitoe—since she was
our own daughter—home to cele-
brate her birthday. One of the first
things I asked her was how long
she could stay. "Sunday -night—
quarter to ten train," was the ans-
wer. Came nine o'cloelc Sunday
night and I suggested to Daugh-
ter that she get her things togeth-
er. She did so—very leisurely,. And
at that time I began to hare an Un-
easy feeling about the time of the
train, I looked up the paper. Nine
twenty-two I "Hurry" I .said to
Daughter, But instead of hurrying
she had to see the paper for her-
self as she woulde't be convinced
she was wrong. "Dont stand there
talking about it," I urged, "The
train may be late and we may
catch it after all." SoI left her
to collect- her belongings while I
ran for the car. They told rne

WhiC11 I don't believe. However,
whether on two wheels or fotir, we
got to the station- jest as the train
was palling out. 1 imagined the
car was as much out of breath as
I was so we ambled home at a
leisurely twenty-five. Daughter

LESSON
JESUS TEACHES TRUE
GREATNESS
February 20
Mark 9: 30-10: 45.
PRNTED TEXT,—Mark 9: 33-
39; 10; 13-16, 42-45.
GOLDEN TEXT.—The son of
man also came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and give his
life ransom for many. Mark 10:45
Memory Verse: 1 love thee, 0
Jehovah. Psalm 18; 1.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTNG
Time—Our Lord's teachings to
His own disciples, as recorded in
chapter nine, were uttered in Au-
tumn, A.D. 29, All the teachings
and events of the remaining part
of the lesson took place in Feb-
'-ruary and March, A.D. 30.
Place—Our Lord's announcement
about His forthcoming death took
place in Galilee. His discourse
concerning greatness was uttered
in Capernamm All the rest of the
material assigned to- our lesson
falls in that period of His life
which was spent in Peraea.
Greatness In Men.
And they came to Capernaum:
and when he was in the hottse he
asked them, what were ye rea-
soning on the way? But they held
their peace: for they had disputed
one with another on the way,
who was the greatest and he sat
down and called the twelve; and he
saith unto them, If any man would
be first, he shad be last of all,
and servant of all."
They were ashamed to tell the
Lord the subject of their disput-
ation—who should be chief min-
ister. In the presence of Jesus
we are all put to silence when we
habe been proud, ambitious, full
of controversial spirit. The thought
of the love and humility of our
Saviour shames us into silence.
What is meant by being great?
Jesus answered that greatness lies
in character, in service.—to love
and serve all for Christ's. sake.
In The Name Of Christ
"And he took a little child, and
set him in the midst of them, and
taking him in his arms, he saith
unto them, whosoever shall re-
ceive one of such little children
in my name, receiveth me: and
whosoever receiveth me, receiveth
not me, but him that sent me."
Christ favors and honors those

who receive people' who are of
small account in the eyes of men.
We lean) that the will pf him who
receives Christ is in harmony with
the will of God. To see Christ is'
to' see- the leather. (John 14:9), to
-receive. Christ is to receive the
Father (Mat. 10:40), Not to re-
ceive Christ is to reject God him-
self. (John 12:45-48).
For Or Against Christ
"John said unto him,- Teacher,
we saw one casting out demons
in thy name; and we forbade Min,
because he* followed not us, But
Jesus said, forbid him not: for
there is no man who shall do a
mighty worlc in my name, and be
able quickly to speak evil of me."
Christ's words condemn all who
are actuated by party -spirit, envy,
enmity, uncharitableness. In verse
40 we see that all men must
range themselves on one side or
the other—with Christ or against
him, There is no neutral ground
Christ regarded this man as being
with Him, and we must regard
as fellow laborers all men who are
doing Christ's work in a spirit of
love and not of enmity, although
they have different modes of
working.
Disciples Rebuke Christ
"And they were bringing unto
him little chitdren, that he should
touch them: and the disciples re-
buked 'them." The apostles regarded
their master as a teacher and a
RADIO REPORTER
Radio is a very weird business
for the people that are in it. There
is an old saying that in radio if
yota don't find a crisis on your
desk in the morning, you have to
start looking for it before noon.
It's a business in which strange
things happen, Take the case of
Bert 'Morrison, star of the veteran
spine-chiller "The Shadow", heard
Tuesday nights 8.30-9.00 over

Radio can bring the people not
only the music they know and love,
but also the new vital musical
creations of contemporary compos-
ers whatever their nationality, says
Dr, Frank Black, guest conductor
of the Cleveland Symphony Or-
chestra heard Sundays 9.00-10,00
P1!. EWT., over the Mutual Net-
work and CKCL, Tomato, Dr.
Black says "I believe that the most
vital music production today is
taking place in the United States
and Russia. There is a reason for
this. Both groups write with an
audience in mind because they
know that the people are the final
judges of their music,"

Radio's people are all heading
towards the Chateau Frontenac in
Quebec for the middle part of this
month, when all the radio stations
from coast to coast gather at the
Annual Convention of the Canadian
Association of Broadcasters, Ra-
dio, with the terrific job it has
done of assisting in the war effort,
is continually meeting new war-
time problems and the get-togeth-
er on tlfe "Plains of Abraham" is
to solve some of its new prob-
lems, to receive information from
heads of governmental depart-
ments as -to how radio can best
cooperate with the war effort and
to plan for the forthcoming year.
The results of the decisions arriv- •
ed at in the Quebec meetings will
have, a large effect on Radia in
1944. You can rest assured how-
ever, that whatever decisions are .
arrived at, radio's people lighting
on the home front will continue
their outstanding contribution to
your entertainment and information
as well as to our war effort,
healer and these children required

the Blesser, whatever form the
blessing may take,
The Childlike Spirit
, "But When -Jesus saw it, . . . ,
he shall in no wise enter therein."
Our Saviour is referring to the
spirit of a little child, the spirit of
h mility, the spirit which was mis-
sing in his disciples. Every gentle
modest child is lowly in thought,
ready, to be taught. Unless we are
hunble and receptive like a
child we cannot enter the Kingdom.
"And he took them in his arms
and blessed thent, laying hands
upon them," The true disciple
must welcome children, serve them,
learn from them, and catch their
humble, trustful, loving, receptive
spirit.
The Servant Of All
"And Jesus called them to him
. . . shall be servant of all." The
ruling class of that day held their
inferiors in subjection and deman-
ded obedience from them 011 the
ground of their superior rank and
power. Greatness ,in the Kingdom
of God consists not in arbitrary
rule, but in voluntery service. It
is the christian - who is ready
to stoop to , serve the lowest of
God's children who is the greatest
in God's sight.
Chirst's Life a Ransom
"For the son of man also came
not to be ministered unto., but to
minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many." The purpose of
our Lord's advent was to minister.
All His past ministry was but a
leading up to the supreme servict
He was to render to mankind, and
Inc which He came into the world
`to give His life a ransom for
many?

tricity in the atmosphere 100 milts
