Red Army artillery, particularly anti-tank go ns like those pictured aboe e, played an important
part in the smashing Russian offensive against the Germans. The photo above, radioed from Moscow,
shows a team of motorized anti-tank gun crews on the central front, where the Red Army continued
its relentless sweep west of Velikie Luki, toward the Latvian frontier.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—December, A.D. 27,
Place. Jacob's well, near Ser
char, in central Palestine.
"Ay +upon this came his dis-
ciples end they marvelled that
he was. sneaking with ;a woman;
yet no man said, What seekest
thou'? or, Why speakest thou with
her?" : The expression, .'No man
said,' seems to imply that no man
ventured to question our Lord's
reason for talking with the wo-
man. There is a lesson for us in
this. When we cannot under-
stand the reason of our Lord's
dealings with souls, let us hold
Our peace, and try to believe that
'thereare reasons which we shall
know one day. A good servant
in a great house must do his own
duty and ask no questions.
The Woman's Testimony
"So the woman left her water -
pot, and went. away into the city,
and saith to :the people, Conte,
see a man, who told me all things
that ever I did: can •this be the
Christ?" It is almost a universal
experience in every age, and
,aznoiig,av'ei:y type of people, that
as soon. as they have found the
Saviour they must go and tell
others about it. Thus, our Lord's
command' to go into all the world
preaching the gospel rests solidly
upon the natural, normal urging
of the Holy Spirit in the regen-
erated life. Some people are
drawn to Christ by His teaching;
some by His holy character; and
some by His sacrificial death;
some by the hope which He of-
fers; others in other ways. 'Pis
woman marveled at Christ because
of His knowledge •of all that she
had ever done.
Earnestness and Humility
"They went out of the, city,
and were coming to him." We
are astonished at the immediate
effect of the woman's words.
However, three causes may have,
in a secondary sense, been at.
work. Her honest, enthusiastic,
solemn manlier; the circumstance
that she felt the matter so ire -
portant as to humble herself by
alluding publicly to her sinful
life; and lastly, the desire which
many of them felt for the com-
ing of the great Deliverer, Earn-
estness and humility are the two
great requisites in an evangelist;
and often where we least expect
it, God has prepared the way for
the reception of His truth by
creating in a soul a hunger and
thirst after His righteousness.
Think it therefore not useless to
epeak to Samaritans about Israel's
Messiah.
Christ's Teaching
"In the meanwhile the disciples
prayed hint,, saying, Rabbi, eat.
But he said unto them, I have
meat to eat that ye know not.
The disciples therefore said one
to another, hath any man brought
hen aught to bat? Jesus saith
unto them, My meat fe to do the
will of him that sent me, and to
accomplish his work." In these
words we have a revelation at
the true meaning of what He had
been doing in connection with
this woman. He had boon doing
the will of God and accomplish,
ing his work, He had dealt, with
her . as to bring her face to face
" with the reality of her past, and
leading her forward had given to
tier the water of• life. This was
the will of God; this was His
work. Having said this, He in-
dicated to His disciples that this
also was their work.
"White Unto Harvest"
"Say not ye, there are yet fom
months, and then cometh the har-
vest? behold, I say unto you,
Lift up your eyes, and look en
the fields, that they are white
already unto harvest." These
words suggest victory, reward, ac-
complishment. The ploughing and
preparing all over, the sowing and
the long vigil done, and at last
the fields ready. for the reaiier.
Two notes merge in them, those
of opportunity and responsibility.
Fields white to harvest constitute
a call and a challenge. Is there
any greater calamity in agricul-
ture than lita,•est ungathered? Ts
there any greater tragedy in the
redemptive purpose and process
of God than harvest ungathered?
Joy of Harvesters
"He that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit unto
life eternal; that he that soweth
and he that reapeth may rejoice.
together." 'To• receive wages'
describes the joy with which these
harvesters are to be filled when
gathering all souls and introduc-
ing them into the kingdom of
heaven.
Sower and Reapers
"For herein is the saying true,
One soweth and another reapeth.
I sent you to reap that whereon
ye have not labored: others 'have
labored, and ye are entered'_nto
their labor." ' Christ is the sower;
His apostles are the reapers. Aa
compared with His labors, theirs
might be esteemed as none at all.
Belief of Samaritans
"And from that citer many o3
the Samaritans believed on him
because of the word of the wo-

man, who testified, He told me
all things that ever I did." Just
this one woman had brought all
this about, She had brought it
about for the reason that she her-
self had been radically changed
in character by the power 02
Christ, and filled with a high en-
thusiasm for souls. By her simple
timeliness and activity in wit-
nessing, she set a marked re-
ligious movement on.foot, and led
many souls out of darkness into
light, and out of death into life.
Request of Samaritans
"So when the Samaritans came
unto hint, they besought him to
abide with them: and he abode
there two days," In reading this
passage, we cannot but be re-
minded of a similar incident, not
long before this, when John and
Simon asked the Lord, "Where
dwellest Thou?" With the result
that "they abode with him that.
'day." Our desire to abide with
Christ is only the echo of His de-
sire to have us abide with Him.
Saviour of the World
"And many more believed be-
cause of his word. And they said
to the woman, Now we believe,
not because of thy speaking: for
we have. heard for ourselves, and
know that this is indeed the Savi-
our of the world," It is a great
hour when a young man, brought
up in a Christian home to believe
in Christ as the Son' of God, and
the Saviour of the world, because
of his faith in the testimony of
his father and mother, finally
comes to know Christ in a very
personal way, not because of
what some one else has said, but
- because he lra's heard the Lord
speak •cut of His own Word, and
knows whereof be believes by a
personal experience.
Canada Plans Cut
In Wheat Acreage
Lowest Mark Since 1918
Objective For 1943
Acreage reduction is no guar-
antee of smaller wheat crops, the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics
states in a report on the wheat
situation, but crop conditions next
year are not likely to be as fa-
vorable'as this season and if acre-
age; reduction is carried out. next
Spring the 1943-44 crop year
should see an improvement in the
statistical position iif North Amer-
ica.
The objectives for Canadian ag-
riculture in 1943, including wheat,
were outlined at a Dominion -
Provincial .eonfereuce early in De-
cember. The Bureau said Canada's
wheat acreage reduction. ,program
next year will be "quite drastic."
The Bureau said Canadian farm-
ers have been asked to reduce
wheat acreage to its lowest level
sine 1918 and if this goal le reach-
ed it will mean a reduction of
.more than 11,000,000 acres or 39
percent from the peak level of
28,700,000 acres attained in 1940.
Alt efforts to curtail wheat
crops through the medium of re-
duced acreage were frustrated in
1942' by the unpredictable weatber-
inau:'A brand of weather was serv-
ed up in Canada and the United
States which resulted in record
yields pee acre and the production
of enormous crops.
Edison Forecast
Rubber Short.. ?fie
Thomas Alva Edison was a
prophet as well as a great inven-
tor, his son, Gov. Charles Edison,
has learned.
A magazine article quoting the
inventor as predicting the war and
the robber shortage was received
by the Governor from a friend.
The article, written in 1927, stet,
ed:
"The United States never has
had and never will have on hand
enough rubber to run the coun•'
try for more than a year.
"Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone,
and I have been considering what
this country would do in case of
a war which would cut off our
rubber supply.
"Don't make any mistake about
that war, It will come, We may
run along for a good many years
without it, but sooner or later na-
tions of Europe and Asia will
combine against the United
States. The first thing they will
do will be to cut off our rubber
supply."

"Outside the wind is howling ,
howling , howling, Flakes of
snow driven by the icy blast of
winter pile in gently' curved un-
dulations around that lone cottage
in the wilds of nature, The roar-
ing of the storm drowns out the
stealthy raising of a latch and the
quiet tread of a masked figure
as, dagger in hand, Jasper sneaks
up behind his unsuspecting victim.
There is a quick flash of steel

a story, a real spine tingler, your
station should be 'CFRB, Toronto,
and your time 10 to 10.80 Sunday
night, "The Hermit's Cave"
You've. no doubt heard the series
before. These stories are back
on the air once again, exciting,
hysterically dramatic and thrilling
as ever.
"This is London calling." There
will be few owners of a radio
receiver in Canada who have not
heard those words with their
English intonation. The now
familiar identification of broad-
casts originating in Great Britain
was first heard at 9.30 a.m. Lon-
don time, December 19th, 1932,
and came from a small studio in
the heart of the British capital, as
a little studio audience of five
people listened. That audience
consisted of five men . two
secretaries, a studio pianist, a
news -reader and the well known
commentator Vernon Bartlett.
This was the prelude, so to speak,
of the first of the series of in-
ternational transmissions of the
B.B.C. which was to be heard six
days later and which carried the
voice of His Late Majesty, King
George Vth to five continents . .
Dee. 25th, 1982. The transmis,
sions were directed at that time
to the members of the British
Commonwealth, were picked up by
short wave receivers at strategic
points, and then rebroadcast ever
the standard wave lengths. To-
day "This is London calling" ie
a phrase rebroadcast either di-
rectly or by means of recordings
by over three hundred stations In
the American sphere ... in Can-
ada, the U.S.A., Puerto Rico,
Alaska, Hawaii ... as well as by
stations alI over the world where
English 'is spoken or understood.
The tremendous expansion of
fighting fronts in which soldiers
of the United Nations face the
enemy has 'necessitated an ever
iudreasing scope of B.B.C. trans-
mission service abroad. Thus is
radio playing its important part
in co-ordinating the step of those
who march along the Road to
Victory.
Last October marked the be..
ginning of a new era in the •Can--
adian educational system. IM
lowing the lead given by the heti
works of the United States, the
Canadian Broadcasting Corpora-
tion, three months ago, began et:
eoeoperative series of school pro.-
grammes
ro.grammes which found educational
authorities' collaborating officially
to provide classroom lessons over
the air, With the completion of
the experimental period, the plan
is being considerably expanded in
the New Year. Every Friday
Morning at ten o'clock over the
coast to coast network, schoo)C
children will be entertained and
instructed by the "Heroes of
Canada" series. You might call
it an easy way to study history,
Many and many a boy or girl in
Canada to whom the text -book
pioneers of this Dominion have
remained until now nebulous fig-
ures,
igures, will find these builders of
the past emerging as living, vital
people, •current day radio voices
to interpret the courage and ac.
eomplishments of the heroes of
yesteryears. . . . in a modern
dramatic setting. As part of this
series, the last Friday of every
month will be devoted to "Cana-
dian horizons' dealing with na-
tional events, or with special
achievements of man, as they af-
fect the Canadian way of life.
Then again, Canadian children are
to participate in two of the Col-
umbia "School of the Air" series,
