THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. — Moses was born, pos-
sibly, about 1571 B.C., though of
this date we are not sure. The
Ten Commandments were given,
if this date is correct, in 1491
B.C. Joshua delivered his last ad-
dress in 1427 B.C. The last part
of the book of Proverbs may have
been written about 1015 B.C. The
incident taken from our Lord's
life, when He was twelve years
of age, is to be placed about A.D.
7 or 8. The Apostle Paul wrote
his Epistles to the Ephesians and
Colossians about A.D. 05.
Place. ---Moses was born in the
land of Goshen, and was placed,
when a baby, among bulrushes in
some one of the fingers of the
Nile delta. The Ten Command-
ments were delivered at Mt. Sinai.
Joshua delivered his last address
at Sliecllem. The incident taken
from our Lord's life occurred in
Jerusalem. The book of Proverbs
was probably, for the most part,
written in the city of Jerusalem.
Ephesus was a great Greek city
in the .Roman province of Asia;
Colosse was located in the sante
province on the Lyeu.s River.
Shecheni was a city located in
central Palestine, in what later
came to be called Samaria.
A Mother's Faith
1. "And there went a man of
the house of Levi, and took to
wife a daughter of Levi. 2. And
the woman conceived, and bare a
son: and when she saw him that
he was a goodly child, she hid
hint three months. 3. And when
she could not longer hide him,
she took for him an ark of bul-
rushes, and daubed it with slime
and with pitch; and she put the
child therein, and laid it in the
flags by the river's brink. 4. And
his sister stood afar off, to know
what would be done to hint."
The Israelitish people were in
great disfavor with, and suffer••
ing great physical hardships un-
der the Egyptian government
then in power. A law had gone
forth that every male child born
to the .Hebrew people should be
put to death. ' When there was
'born this baby boy, known later
in history as the great prophet
Moses, the parents had faith that
God had some great purpose for
the child. After the child had
been put safely in the ark, the
sister was set to watch, not with
any thought of harm that might
come, but simply to see 'what
would be done to him: The
mother returned to her house
fighting back her natural anxiety
by a fait) hi God that could not
fail her.
Household Worship of God
14. "Now therefore fear Je-
hovah, and serve him in sincerity'
and in truth; and put away the
gods which your fathers served
beyond the River, and in Egypt;
and serve ye Jehovah. 15. And
if it seem evil unto you to serve
Jehovah, choose you this day
whom ye will serve; whether the
gods which your fathers served
that were beyond the River, or
the gods of the Amorites, in whose
land ye dwell: but as for pie and
my house, we will serve Jehovah."
Joshua was a perfect example of
doing himself what lie was now
preaching to the Israelites that
which they ought to do.
This is the privilege of a man
-holding great power, in high posi-
tion, ,being honored by an entire
nation, —to publicly declare that,
for himself and his household, he
would be found serving the Lord
God. Inasmuch as our lesson
particularly concerns the family,
emphasis here may he placed on
the phrase "and nay house." Of
course, no man can Compel the
adults of his household to worship
any one God, but a father can
see to it, while his children are
under his roof, that they do at-
tend Sunday School, that they are
present in the house of the Lord
on the Lord's Day, that they do
hear the Word of God read, and
prayers offered, every day, around
the family table.
The Love of Husbands
2.. "Even so ought husbands
to love their own wives as their
own bodies, He that loveth his
beim wife loveth himself: 29. for
no man ever ,hated• his own flesh;
but nourisl-4h and cherisheth it,
even as' Christ also the church;
80, because we are members of
his body. 81. 1'or this cause shall
a : loan leave his father and
mother, and shall cleave ,to his
viffe; and the two shall become
one flesh/' The., Apostle Paul
lifts this whole subject up to the
highest 'conceivable glans when.
he compares the love of husband
for the wife with the love of .the
Lord 3e:+n5 Christ for the Church.
THUNDERBIRD TOTEM
Sargeant Clifford hicks, of London, Ont., one of the R.C.A.F„
pilots now standing guard in Alaska, poses for this picture with the
Thunderbird totem which the unit has selected as its official good
luck piece. U. S. and Canadian airmen work together for the defence,
of the northern outpost.
This mutual loyalty and love is
to be perfectly human; bat also,
if it is as it should be for Chris-
tians, it is to be inspired by what
is perfectly divine.
Parents and Children
1. "Children, obey your par-
ents in the Lord: for this is right,
2. Honor thy father and mother
(which is the first commandment
with promise), 3. that it may be
weii with thee, and thou mayest
live long on the earth. 4. And,
ye fathers, provoke not your chil-
dren to wrath: but nurture them
in the chastening and admonition
of the Lord." Obedience is the
law of childhood. It is, in great
part, the child's religion, to bo
practised 'in the Lord! The rever-
ence and love, full of a sweet
mystery, which the Christian
child feels towards its Saviour
and heavenly Ring, add new
sacredness to the claims of father
and mother. 'Jesus Christ, the
Head over all things, is the
orderer of the life of boys and
girls. His love and His might
guard the little one in the ten -
dance of his parents. The wonder-
ful love of -parents to their off-
;.pring, and the awful authority
with which they are invested,
come from the source of human
life in God.
U.S. Hands Passport
To Vichy's Envoy
In Washington the Vichy French
ambassador's passports were hand-
ed to him last week, thus making
formal and complete the break
in relations with the United
States.
State Secretary Cordell Hull
disclosed that all Vichy French
ships in United States ports had
been taken into protective cus-
tody,
Nazis Circulate
Cardboard Money
Pieces of carboard, three centi.
.meters square, are being used as
currency by the German Frost
Fish Fileting Factory in Trond-
heim. On one side is printed
"10 oere" (the value is about two
cents), and on the other side the
insignia of a Geramn heavy ar-
tillery battery is narked. The
Norwegian people are being made
to use these cardboard pieces like
the ordinary coin currency. It is
reported that this new coinage is
being used because metal is be-
coming scarce.
THIS CURIOUS WORLD
By William
Ferguson
Liberia: Offshoot
Of United to tis
Monrovia, the Capital, Named
for Fifth U. 6. President
At tlie western -most tip of
Africa, says the Stratford Beacon. -
Herald, lies Liberia, the little re-
public founded by Americans for
their freed slaves, developed under
their moral protection, the little
capitol, Monrovia, named for the
Aftb U. S. president. Miles of
good road have been built, millions
of rubber trees have been planted,
the health of the natives improved,
and religious and sociological or-
ganizations have contributed to
their welfare. But uow that Amer-
ican troops have landed at Liberia,
which is south of Dakar, the Nazis
behold the move with laud charges
of "pure rape of a free state,"
since everything which does not
contribute to Nazi advantage is
always wrong in Germany's eyes.
350-MIle Coastline
For some 350 miles extends the
coastline of Liberia, and for 170
miles inland penetrates its terri-
tory. Along that entire length of
coast there is no good harbor. The
surf breaks tumultuously along its
stretch of shore, and reefs and
sand bass make it dangerous. The
rivers bring silt to their mouths
and block them. Rugged head-
lands rise from the water, the
palms wave. Most of the settlers
are along the coastal belt, and in
the clay soil just beyond they raise
coffee.
A Plateau Country
Liberia is a plateau country ris-
ing some 1,500 feet above the sea,
grown densely with forests and
visited by heavy rainfalls. Trees
grow to a height of 200 feet, and
are splendid examples of their
species, both because of their
equatorial position and the abund-
ant rainfall. There are cotton
trees, many kinds of palms, about
22 different kinds of trees and
shrubs producing rubber and trees
which yield large, edible nuts.
Coffee grows wild as well as cul-
tivated. Pineapples, oranges, limes,
papaws, alligator apples, avocada
pears, breadfruit, bananas, yams,
sweet potatoes are plentiful.
The ground orchids and the tree
orchids are profuse among the
wild jungle lands, and in fact all
flowers bloom with a brilliance
and abandon in Liberia. Bright -
winged birds fly through the for -
sets. Wild creatures of amazing
number make their homes in the
almost impenetrable woodlands,
called the best forest country of all
West Africa.

Vichy Relations
Termination of diplomatic rela-
tions between the Canadian and
the Vichy Governments was an-
nounced by Premier Mackenzie
Ring in a statement last week
which referred to the Laval Ad-
ministration as "A German puppet
government."
The French minister—who has
been in Ottawa since early in 1940
—was informed by the prime min-
ister that because those "in nom-
inal control" of the French Gov-
ernment had ordered resistance to
the United Nations forces in
North Africa it was "perfectly clear
that there no longer exists in
France a legal or constitutional
government in any sense repre-
sentative of the French people,
but only a German puppet gov-
ernment."
Therefore the Canadian Gov-
ernment "has ceased to recognize
the present government at Vichy
as being the de jure Government
of France and diplomatic rela-
tione with Vichy are accordingly
terminated."

thistle seed is being harvested

Programmes may come and pro-
grammes may go, but Amos 'n
Andy go on for ever, Freeman
Gosden and Charles Correll, to
give them their proper names,
have just passed the 4000 mark,
completing thereby one of the
longest series of programmes on
record in radio broadcasting.
Naturally they have their troubles
thinking up new scenes and new
situations. However they've
adopted a philosophical attitude
in regard to the difficulties they
encounter in the writing of their
episodes , "We've done 4000
scripts" they say "and we can
manage one more" .. which is
another reminder that not only
do these famous black -face come
diens present their numerous
'characters themselves, but they
actually create their own situa-
tions and write their own scripts.
These C.B.S. favourites, who are
heard over CFRB, Toronto, Mon-
day through Friday, 7 to 7.15
p.m., seem good for a long time
to come.

In the year 1877, Benjamin
Disraeli, Prime Minister of Great
Britain declared in the House of
Commons at Westminster . .
"The health of the people is really
the foundation upon which all
their happiness and all their
powers as a state depend." Yes,
good health is always a national
asset, In wartime it is a vital
weapon. The old adage that a
soldier marches on his stomach is
equally true in these days of total
war to the industrial worker and
the war -time home -maker. Be-
cause there are thousands of
people all over Canada with less
time for marketing and planning
menus, and because improper sel-
ection of foods may lead to re-
duced national efficiency, the
Canadian Broadcasting Corpora-
tion is focussing attention on this
important question of nutrition in
a new broadcast feature, entitled
"The Hidden Enemy." Dr. Eau, -
beth Chant Robertson, noted Can-
adian authority on nutrition le
advisor to the series of C.B.C.
broadcasts to be heard every
REX FROST
Wednesday evening at 10.15. The
programmes are not presented in
the old-fashioned dry manner in
which the subject of nutrition bets
been surrounded, but are offered
as cheerful litle sketehes ,. , not
without humour . illustrating
the necessity of balanced diet hi
a campaign to step up the energy
of Canadians serving in industry,
in offices and homes, as well as
in the armed forces. The series
should be of particular interest
to the ladies.
A few weeks ago we reported a
change in the time of the popular
"Treasure Trail" broadcast, which
is currently heard over CFRB, To-
ronto, and an Ontario network,
every Wednesday 8.30 p.m. Now
we have to report a change in the
personnel of the broadcast. Rai
Purdy, well known dramatic artist
and radio programme producer,
who has been associated with
"Treasure Trail" since its incep-
tion, is now a member of His
Majesty's Forces. By coincidence
Rai Purdy's successor, Jack Ful-
ler is teamed with Al Savage.
Jovial Jack is now announcer for
Jim Hunter, Quick-witted Al is
a former associate of the Tele-
gram's Talking Reporter.
The now popular Rex Battle
has "battled" his way to popular
appreciation both as a band leader
and a concert pianist. We hear
many comments these days re-
garding the series of programmes
currently being presented by Rex
Battle, Monday and Friday eve-
nings, 7.45 to 8 p.m, over CFRB,
Toronto and a network. Here ie
a programme which will appeal to
those who enjoy better class music
i -end wed. through the medium of
the ieory keyboard.
A new series of discussions of
Air Raid Precaution Measures ins
currently being heard over CFRB
every Friday night at 10 o'clock
spoasored by the Ontario Com-
mittee of the Civilian Defense
Corps. Province -wide members
of the C.D.C. will find these talk
entertaining and instructive.
