IT M4U(ES, ONE WONDER The evidenceso, far submitted to the Stevens Committee into mass buying and the operation of largecorporations has been very startling and snakes one wonder what can be clone about it, if anything..Condi- tions as'•they exist are bound to cre- ate unr :st among the working class- es, many of whom apparently do not even make a• bare existence for their labors. The world market is in an upside- down condition and while most nat- ions have had their exports greatly reduced, Japan last year increased her exports by 50 per cent, One would imagine that the other nations of the world are losing their business ability when. this. eastern nation con- tinues to do a larger business in the world' market. This is not the' case,. however: The standard of living in the na- tions who have to 'compete with Jap- an is on a much higher level than in that country, and the people therefore demand and receive higher wages. In Japan child labor is used and. children over 10 years of age work -in factor- ies for as little as 2 or 3 cents'a day. The wages of the full gr•o*n Japanese is so small that the amount has little to do with the cost' of production. Thus the Japanese are' able to dumptheir: goods into other countries and sell at such a love price that . count- ries who have a fair' standard of liv- ing cannot compete: This is a very serious situation as it is impossible to compete with Jap- an and maintain the standard that should be maintained. To fight Japan by reclining wages is a' step backward in our civilization.. The only way to overcome this seri- ous situation,.apparently, is not to buytheir goods, buy only from<coun- tries that have a standard"equal to our own, * *. * Spring must be just around the cor- ner.

Golden Text:: Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end. (Ise. 9:7.) Mysteries are very popular today. Mystery stories ,have a large and as- sured reading; mystery tales go out- over utover the radio to vast numbers of hearers. And in this long, lesson chap- ter the Lord tells His disciples, and through them ourselves, of seven great, superniatural mysteries. Moreover, the disciples and all who since their clay, truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, are en- abled, said the Lord, "to know the mysteries of the Kingestam of Heav- en," while the unbeliesingworld can- not know or understand them. These, Scripture mysteries; howev- er, are quite different from What we understand by the same word in com- nion speech today. "A `mystery' in Scripture is a ,previotisly hidden truth,. now divinely revealed, but in which a supernatural element still reinain:4, despite the, revelation." In other words, the Holy Spirit has revealed in the inspired Seriptures many- different "mysteries" of this sort, and seven Parables in > our lesson chapter set. forth one of thesemysteries, which is that of the "Kir gdoin -'of Heaven," • These seven parables are: The Sower. The Tares Anions the Wheat. , The Grain of Mustard" 'Seed. The Leaven. The Hid Treasure. The Pearl. The Drag -Net. Each of these seven parabies ex- plains or illustrates different truths concerning the Kingdom' of Heaven. But we must remember' that our Lord's parables had a twofold Pur- pose: they both revealed.. truth and concealed truth. They revealed it to those who were Willing to believe; they concealed it from those who were unwilling to believe. Thus 'ate Lord said. to His disciples concerning the •Pharisees and others who would not believe in Him: "Therefore speak 1 to them in Par- ables because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they. understand . But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your..ears for they hear." In the: parable- of the sower, our Lord describes a man sowing seed, Some of which fell by the wayside and was eaten by the birds; some fell upon stony places where there was not ■IA PP wto voi ow l 1 IMO= Mai Ian MINEE®iN'a:' i f1■® DIA Creamery Buyers TEIE t(.V 5 r ITED FARMERS' CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY, LIMITED. vatimo: p THE WINGI A I ADV4LNCE-TIMES 1' Thursday, March 8th, 1934 INVITED INTO MURDER PLOT her very life is endangered, Any healthy woman, with a normal pelvis, whose heart, lungs and .kidneys are iriYgood condition, can expect to pass through pregnancy with safety., Site will need to prepare 'her body for this particular physical strain, and she will need to rhave her doctor make sure, frornitirrre to time, that her body maintains its healthy condition: Unfortunately, all, women arenot healthy. The heart, lungs, or kidneys may be diseased, Or "damaged from some previous disease A pre -natal examination would allow for warning these women as to their ability to go through pregnancy, Mostof theca can do so, provided they are able to have extra medical supervision and to carry out the: instructions received concerning• loiager .rest periods, -diet, etc.' A recent study of maternal mortal- ity in New York City, covering a per- iod of three years, made by the. Ac- ademy of Medicine, shows that about two-thirds of. the deaths which did occur were preventable, This conchi- sion was reached after a careful con- sideration of each : case, . and the de- cision was made on practical, not the- oretical grounds. This study confirms the findings of others: made elsewhere. The actual figures niay vary a little, but the gen- eral conclusion is that two out of every three .• maternal deaths could be prevented if proper use were made of what we know concerning the proper care of the .expectant mother. What the pregnant woirian needs is medical and nursing care. There is no mystery about what kind of care is needed. The problem is, How are all women to secure such care? In. sone cases, 'this, is difficult, and in a few impossible, but in the, vast ma= jority of cases, women who-cotildse- Commander Oliver Locker -Lamp - son, British M.P. and war veteran, Whose testimony in the "Rasputin" case in London provided a sensation- al climax when he told the court lie.. had been invited to become a'mem- ber of ihe "murder party" plotting the death of 'Rasputin, the "read 'monk" of Russia. • much' earth, sprang up clttickly, then was scorched by the ,sun and, having no deep root, withered away; some fell among thorns •and was choked by theta; sortie fell into good ground "and brought 'forth fruit, some one Hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. What .did this story mean? The Lord did,. not explain all of His par- ables, but this ane He did. The seed is "the word of the ICingdoni." When. it is 'heard by some wayside listener who does not undcirstancl. it, Satari' can easily come -,down' and "catch away that which was sown in shis heart." "Qthers,hear it gladly, but su- perficially, and when any real test of tribulation or persecution comes, their faith, not. being real, withers awvaiy, Soine hear the truth and seem to ac- cept it, but later "the care of this World, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word." But the true believ- er,,welcornirig it intelligently in bis heart, is the "good ground" and bears fruit, Borne abundantly, some iii lesser amount, but just as truly: . The parables •of thetares and the *heat shows that God and Satan are busily at work' in this world. Christ' the Son of God sows .the good seed, or wheat.; Satan sows the tares; and the result is that good men and bad, believers and unbelievers, will contin- ue to grow in the world to the very' end of this age, when the time of'har- vest shall coneap d" the tares must be burned, while "the righteous" shall shine forth as the sunin the kingdom of their Father." And our Lord adds to this word of invitation and warning "Who hath ears to hear, let ilial hear." A mustard seed is one of the small-: est of seeds, but the Lords says the Kingdom -of Heaven is like : it, and that it shall grow to be "the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so: that the. birds 'of the ' air come and lodge in the branches." That the Kingdon of Heaven began lir a very small way, and has grown to a nighty tree throughout theworld, is plain' enough. Thus the Lord continued With these seven parables: telling of the leaven which was ''rid in three measures of Meal, till the. whole was leavened"; of a treasure that:was "hid in a field" and when a man discovered this, "for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field"; the. "Pearl cif great, price" that was found. by a merchant 'seeking goodly pearls, who "went and sold all 'that he had, and, bought it"; and then the n:et,lthat was cast into the -sea and gathered fish of every kind, both good and bad. It is not diffictilt to see the meaning of these parables in relation to the Kingdom of Heaven. 'We should not overlook ,either„. the teaching of the net, which plainly shows, that the world is not doing to `be converted by the Church in this age, but that good and bad will continue till the second coming of Christ, which will ,end this age and establish His Kin,gdont.

Outlook Brighter Completed , survey of the ',statistics for 1938 paints a brighter picture of farming in this province than in any year since 1928. Total value of field crops jumped $8,371,000'in 1933 from the 1932 total, the final report shows,. and this despite a decreased average sown, and a volume,of field produc- tion reduced 9:7 per ecnt, Field crops harvested from a total acreage of :9,194,8000 in 1938 had a value of $124,679,000, the report re- veals, and a rise of 19 per cent. in average prites for farm products is reported, And the considered view of the ex- perts indicates continued improve- ment. Under the guidance of Hon. T, L. Kennedy, the department is em- barking, upon rn-barlcing,upon an even rnore' energetic program ofiinspectioa and grading of farm products, of extension of British Empire markets and of increasing domestic consumption' , of Qtitario. products, As forecast in the Speech from the Throne, Col, Kennedy proposes inea- ,sures to assist in more careful grad- ing g of products, to provide for itn- proved livestock strains acid to aid associations formed to push partioular'. products in, home and foreign mar- kets.'
