NT
These smiling farmerettes personify the spirit of the hundreds
of girls who are serving on farms this summer to help relieve the
situation caused by an acute shortage of manpower all over the
country. Some live in individual farms, others are quartered in
camps located at central points in the various agricultural districts.
On this farm in the Niagara Peninsula, dozens of farmerettes were
busy picking plums.

JACOB SEEKS GOD'S HELP. -
Genesis 31-33.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. -About 1740 B.C.
Place.-Padau-aram, the home
ai Laban in the Haran, east of
the upper Euphrates valley, pos-
sibly near Damascus; Peniel, thug
far unidentified, but certainly
.somewhere on the banks of the
Jabbok in the northeastern part of
Palestine in Gilead.
Crisis of Jacob's Life
2. "And Jacob said when he saw
them, This is God's host: and he
called the name of that place Ma-
hanaim. 3. And Jacob sent mesa-
engers before him to Esau his
brother unto the land of Seir, the
field of Edom. 4. And he command-
ed them, saying, Thus shall ye
say unto my lord Esau: Thum
saith thy servant Jacob, I have
sojourned with Laban, and stayed
until now: 6. and I hare oxen, and
asses, and flocks, and men-serv-
apts, and maidservants: and I
have sent to tell my lord, that
I may find favor in thy sight. it.
And the messengers returned to
Jacob, saying, We came to thy `.
brother Esau, and moreover he
cometh to meet thee, and four
hundred men with him. 7. Then
Jacob was greatly afraid and wag
distressed, and he divided the
people that were with him, and
the flocks, and the herds, and the
camels, into- two companies; s.
and he said, if Esau come to the
one company, and ,smite it, then
the company which is left shall
escape."
As Jacob conies near to Edom,
the country in which his brother
Esau with his family was living,
be cannot help but be troubled in
remembering, though twenty years
have elapsed since it occurred, his
deception of hits father Isaac, his
cheating of his brother Esau, and
of Esau's intention at that time
of killing the twin whom his moth-
er loved. A sinful act has the
power, after years, of rising up
and confronting us in the most un-
expected and undesired time, Our
evil deeds are easily forgotten and,
our imagination of the past re-
tains only the good; but God and
conscience keep in reserve the
evil. Twenty years had passed
since Jacob did the evil. it stood
before him now, just as it stood
when he fled from it twenty years
before - only more formidable,
grown in hulk and terror. It is
vain to think that you can do evil
and reap no consequences from it.
Prayer For Deliverance
9. "And Jacob said, 0 God of
my father Abraham, and God of
my father lease, 0 Jehovah, who
said:t unto rne, Return unto thy
country, aur] to thy kindred, and
I will do thee good: 10. T am not
worthy of the least of all the
loving kindnesses, and of all the
truth, which thou hast showed
unto thy servant; for with my
staff 1 passed over this Jordan;
and now 1 am become two com-
panies. 11. Deliver me, I bray
thee, from the hand of my broth-
er, from the hand of Esau: for
I fear him, lest be come and smite
nee, the mother with the children.
12. And thou saidst, I will surely
do thee good, and make thy seed
as the sand of the sea, which can-
not be numbered for multitude."
Though Jacclb sant messengers
ahead vrith the hope that they
would be able bo appease Esau,
he was soon doubly troubled be-
cause when they came back to
him they could only report that
Esau was also approaching with
four hundred armed men. This
sent Jacob to his knees to cry to
God for deliverance is what le
generally recognized to be the
first full prayer recorded in the
word of God. The prayer wee
marked by true humility. 3acob
acknowledged Ms own unworthi-
ness of all that God had done for
him, and with heart -felt gratitude
he testifies to the way in which
blessings held been showered on
him.
27. "And he said unto him, What
is they name? And he said, Jacob.
28. And he said, Thy name shall
be called no more Jacob, but Is-
rael: for thou hast striven with
God and with mon, and hast pre-
vailed. 29. And • Jacob asked him,
and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy
name. And he .said, Wherefore 4s
it that thoti dost ask after my
name? And he blessed hint there."
It should be carefully noted that
Jacob did not lay hold at thle
visitor, but the visitor lay hold
of him. This le not a picture of ea.
man coming to God, to wrestle
with God in prayer, but at record
of God coming to man, to break
the spirit of stubbornness and self-
eufficienoy whioh a particular man
leas for too long a time habitually
maani'feated. All night these bwo
wrestled, th.o• one from heaven and
the one of earth, and when, at
the dawn of day, Jacob saw that
he could not prevail against the
man, in hie exhaustion and weari-
ness, ho suddenly fell the tough
of the hand of the atrap,ger on his
thigh. Immediately his thigh was
out of joint, rendering him ab-
solutely hebplesa. But now Jacob
realises that the one with whom,
he has wrestled all night is a
divine person, and, whereas early
in the night he was held in the
grip of the other, now he refusal
to release his grasp of the visitor
until he receives a blessing from
him, ablessling he did receive, in
the new name, and the new honor
and position, which God conferred
upon him, changing the name of
Jacob, which means supplanter,
to Israel, which means, a prince
with God,
Russian Prisoners
Inhumanly Treated
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day will be
observed throughout Canaada
Monday, October 12, it was an-
nounced in a proclamation pub-
lished last week in a special
edition of the Canada Gazette.
Prisoner: of war in Germany
now are guarded by cripples and
old men and the camps are admin-
istered by wcmen, France Forever
said in a summary of information
collected from liberated prisoners
of war.
Prisoners report that the in-
human treatment prevalent early
in the war has settled into what
was described as "normal German
callousness," said the organiza-
tion, United States centre of the
Free French movement. Guards,
even those elderly and crippled,
were said to be threatened with
being sent to the Russian front
for lapses in interment discipline.
Russians, most of them civilians,
were said to be the greatest
sufferers in German camps. Lib-
erated prisoners said the interned
Russians aged from 18 to 65 were
brought across Germany in cattle
cars opened only twice a week
for hygienic purposes and to give
the prisoners food.
Among 2,800 who arrived alive
at one camp, France Forever
said, the 'majority weighed from
90 to 100 pounds. In each car,
holding 50 men, 30 arrived dead.
In camp, they died at the rate
a 50 a day for the first eight
days and 20 daily thereafter.
10,000 Jap Forces
hi Aleutian Wands
Japanese forces in the Aleutian
Islands area are estimated by a
Naval spokesman in Washington
to be about 10,000.
The three points now occupied
by the Japanese are Kiska, Attu,
and Agattu Islands. About 5,000
Japanese are ashore on these is-
lands and about 5,000 more are in
the surrounding waters on trans-
ports and naval vessels, the spokes-
man said.
The Navy spokesman said not
long ago that aerial reconnais-
sance so far had failed to disclose
any enemy landings on the unde-
fended Pribilofs, 250 miles north-
west of Dutch Harbor.
A •move by the Japanese into
the Pribilofs, reported for some
time, not only would bring the'
enemy much closer to the Alaskan
mainland but would put them le
a strategic position for a flanking
attack on Dutch Harbor.
Navy officials questioned, how-
ever, whether the Pribilofs could
be used for very extensive .sea
and air operations. The four rug-
ged Bering Sea Islands -St. Paul,
St. George, Otter, and Walrus -
have no harbors.. Navigation ex-
perts at the Navy Department said
the Bering Sea waters afforded
anchorage only when the wind is
blowing from the land.
Several hundred inhabitants of
the two main islands, St. Paul and
St. George, were removed several
weeks ago.
To Draft Women
As Tire Watchers
Home Security Minister Her-
bert Morrison announced plans
to conscript British women from
20 to 45 years of age to serve as
fire watchers, a job made more
important by disclosure that Ger-
man raiders are dropping a new
type of phosphorous fire bomb.
Morrison said incendiary bombs
are "the greatest single menace
of air attack," and that Britain
was suffering from a serious
shortage of men watchers.
He said he hoped to speed con-
scription of the women, who prob-
ably will start registering within
two weeks.
The announcement came after
the Home Security Ministry warn-
ed about incendiaries filled with
phosphorous - a waxy substance,
which, if dry, bursts into flames
at room temperature.

DURBIN AND McCARTHY
There's ONE fact we know for
sure - and that is, Charlie Mc-
Carthy returns to the Canadian
air -lanes Sunday, September 6th,
at 8.00 p.m. EDT. Whether, as
in past years, Deanna Durbin will
be the first guest of honor on
the show, is as yet a moot point.
Something else we do know, and
it's sensational news, is that Don
Arneche will be Master of Cere-
monies! Don's great vocal per-
sonality will, we .feel, bring Me-
Carthy's most brilliant season to
the air. Ray Noble's music will
be there too, and a great parade
of famous guests. So markdown

6th, for Charlie 14IcCarthy - 8.00
