Memory Verses God IS love. 1 John 4:b. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.. --•The event recorded in I :Samuel _ occurred possibly 1056 B.C.; Isaiah 28 was written not farfrom 725 B.C.; Paul probably wr"ote his Epistle to the Galatians in A.D. 58. -• • • Place.—The city of ,'Giklag has not yet been definitely identified, but it ,was• somewhere south o:t Gaza, in southern Palestine, Ephraim is the name of•that part of Palestine which can be 'gen- orally located in the central wee - ' tern section of the Holy Land; r here it is probably a synonym for all of Samaria. Galatia was a. province in Asia, an Area today known as Asia Minor. "A4rd when he had brought hint down, behold, they. were. spread abroad over all -the ground, •eating. and drinking, and dancing, be- cause of ell the great spoil that they had taken out of the land •of the Philistines, and. out of the land of Judah. And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a rnan of thein, save four hundred young men, who rode upon cancels and fled." Providentially, an Egyptian who knew the place to which the Arnalekites had fled, appeared just at the time when David first became aware of what had hap- pened to his property and his wives, and guided there to the place where these marauders were drinking and carousing in cele- bration of their victory. Discov- ered in such a state, totally sur- prised and unprepared, bewildered because of their gluttony and drinking, the whole Amalekite host that had destroyed Ziklag was destroyed by David and his soldiers. Many a battle has been lost for the same reason. • Abiding Beauty "Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraiii'i; and to the .fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are • overcome with wine. Behold, the Lord hath a mighty And strong one; as a tempest of hail, a de- stroying stone, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, wilt toe t e z th, with: the drunkards Of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, • which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first ripe fig before the summer; which when he • that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up." The union of two metaphors, each separately striking, adds double force to the prophet's warning.... The proud •crown or garland of the drunkards, when the spoiler has torn it from their' brows, and cast it on the ground, will be trodden under his feet. Samaria., the glorious beauty or ornament of Ephraim, would be indeed like a fading flower, a wreath withering away; and also like the early fig, which drops when the tree is shaken, and which he who sees it no sooner sets his eyes upon than he devours it with greedy haste. Effect of Strong Drink "And even these reel. with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swal- lowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment." By the influence of intoxicating liquors the priests and prophets were disqualified for the high and holy functions of their office; and the consequence was that the nation was corrupt, and was ex- posed to the heavy judgments of .God. Works of the Flesh "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lascivi•• ousness, idolatry, sorcery. enmi, ties, strife, jealousies. wrathe, factions, divisions, parties, envy lugs, drunkenness, revollings, and such like; of which. 7 forewarn you even as 1 did forewarn you, that they who practise such things •shall not inherit the kingdom of God." This is the first time that these verses, so -dark in their cite umeration of the sins of men, have ever appeared as a part of the painted text of the Interna- tional Sunday School Lessons. And yet this passage is a part of the Word of God, a very• sober part of the Word .'of .God. It is a word of• warning, and it should be heeded. The more examination of this passage with •sortie care will bow any heart before God, asking for cleansing when 'it is eonseieus of being -guilty oi'' any of these sine, asking, - too, for nc delivcrniiee from oac'h and r all of thein throughout theyears that remain.. is, of course, to have eternal life, It involves all that ie ever thought of in the idea of heaven, of eter- nal peace and joy, of a, hone above in the 'presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, To be shat out of the kingdom of God means noth- ing less than to be confined to darkness and everlasting suffer- ing. The text does not say that; any one who has ever been guilty of any of these sins will never inherit the kingdom of God, for then all of us would be hopelessly lost. No hatter what sin any man has been guilty of, the blood of Jesus Christ His Son can wash that ` sin or can make atonement for that sin and reconcile that soul to Gocl. What it does say is that those who practice and oontinue in these sins, who persistently 'em- brace them and indulge in thein, these will never enter the king - dem of God. There is a differ- ence between a pian who lives in sin day after day, and a Christian who in some sudden moment of temptation falls into sin, only to cry to God to be immediately de- livered tnerefrorn. With fingers still nimble at 103, Miss Elizabeth Hoyland, of York- shire, England, is knitting scarves for soldiers. Huns Use Fiendish Phosphorus Bullets The Germans axe using an ex- plosive bullet that is treated with phosphorus, claims the Windsor Star. The purpose of the bullet is to make a jagged hole • and spread the phosphorus through the wound: The poison takes ef- feet and there is enough of it to be fatal, if it is not caught in time. The Huns are masters of the fiendish arts of war, They use' these poison bullets as part off' their campaign to spread fear. 1f anything likeit is used against the Germans, Berlin squeals to the heavens that Germany is be - nig the victim of unorthodox pun- ishment. The Germans used explosive bullets in the last war, too. It is the same old Hun, the sane cruel 33oche, who wants to conquer Wand will go to any length to aehie e that conquest. New Process Raincoats for Canada's armed forces are now being made of ordinary cotton shirting, weather- proofed with a chemical the basis of ingredients of which are lime- stone, natural gas and salt. 1 I iso REPORTER Fra .FROST There's romance in the air this month — wedding bells will ring on February 27th "for a well known radio personality and the member of a well known Cana- dian family. Quite a number of years ago a Toronto 'conunercial sponsor was searching for a new singer to star in an early evening broadcast — the search ended on hearing a young lad singing over a Hamilton Radio Station — here was voice and personality that was introduced to the radio lis- tener as the Silver Masked Tenor . wonder if any of you remem- ber that early evening series of broadcasts over CFRB about ten years ago? After singing some six months incognito, the grand unmasking was made in a down- town hall in Toronto, and Jimmie Shields was introduced by name to his many radio fans. From that time on, Jimmie bas risen steadily to the top -- his first .big feature spot being on the Neilson Chocolate programme (hold that name Neilson in mind a moment, will yo•ul) . From the Neilson show to starring roles in litany big Toronto programmes, then across the border to Buffalo and New York, where until a month or so •ago Jimmie was sing - over the.. Mutual network. a*ir%, eallf �E tke,.•Canadian army and, the return of Jimmie to Toronto to sign up with the cur= rently talked of Amity Show.. But Jinimie came back to Canada for more than an army assigninent— he carne back to 'the girl he left behind hini' ... who is she? None other than the daughter of the man who put J'rrunie into his first big tine Toronto radio pro. gramme — Miss Audrey Neilson. During Jinnuie's absence in the States adding to his singing laur- els, his bride-to=be devoted lrer time to Red Cross work, rising from the rank of private to Lieutenant in the Transport Divi- sion. Just recently Miss Neilson switched from voluntary Red Cross work to the active army, joining Jimmie in the Army Show personnel.. s * * Many rural listeners have been following with interest the travels of the Ontario Caravan, CFRB's recently concluded series of broadcasts which offered oppor- tunities to rural talent to honour their home town. Three month professional contracts with CFRB -were offered to the best artists appearing in the series. You'll recall perhaps that Miss Gwen Lambert .of Newmarket was win- ner of the first series, and 'it's now our pleasure to announce the winner of the second series, Archie Barth of Barrie, a young lad who has studied music for litany years with the hope of even- tually snaking singing his career. To encourage him in his amble tions, Archie Barth has an en- thusiastic young wife and small daughter, and CFRB joins them in wishing Archie lots of Good Luck and a profitable, successful singing career. However, CFRB's • musical di- rector, Roy Locksley, has not given up the search for new musi- cal talent. Commencing immedi- ately, Mr. Locksley will present a series of broadcasts to be known as "The Stardust Parade," which will feature young singers previ- ously unknown to air listeners. Froin experience this Station knows that many a currently fa- mous radio personality stepped up from the ranks of the unknown auditioner to radio headlines. Make a point of tuning in this new CFRB programme, "The Stardust Parade." You may Ineeend. the .debut onew radio Tuesday evenings, 9 �9. 0 P.c a over CFRB. * * * "He's not so young as he looks in the movies" . . this was the opening remark made by Jack Benny when he recently was in- troduced to some 14,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen at the Exhibi. tion Park Coliseum in Toronto. And it drew quite a laugh. Yes, it's true that Jack Benny tops his six .feet of easy flowing hu- mour and merriment with a few more grey hairs than most of us imagine ... but Jack says he has earned every one of them think- ing of humourous gags for his radio listeners. Other surprises were in that sparkling one hour variety show he put on for the boys, Mrs. Jack Benny, better known as Mary Livingstone of poetry fame, proved to be a slim golden haired, 5 ft. 8 inches of vivacity and personality, obvious- ly sharing her husband's enthusi- asm over their recently celebrated 16 year of happy married life.. as jack remarked, "That's quite a record for Hollywood!"

A group of Scouts en- joying an outing on a farm near the city were given an opportune ity to test their skill when a lad fell from the roof of a barn, in- juring his ankles. They used their knowledge of signalling to call other boys from the nearby woods, and then while one boy summoned a doctor, other boys improvised a stretcher with their coats and carried the injured boy to the farm house, where prepare ations had been made to receive him by a messenger sent ahead, * ,, * A Nova Scotia Scoutmaster, looking over a picture of a group of his Boy Scouts, taken on a camping trip a few years ago, found that of 14 boys in the group, seven are in the armed forces, two are in war industry, two are studying medicine at University and three are still at- tending school. * * * Out of a class of 48 men who sat for a higher rating examina- tion for Sick Berth Attendants in the Royal Naval Volunteer Ree serve, the first three places were won by men who had received their first aid and nursing train- ing in the •Boy Scouts, a report from London relates. Jewish Boy Scouts of Sheffield, England, have set up a good tum • service, :carrying sexvicemenrs 14. between the city's" 'two"'"raalttda stations. The service was organ- ized entirely on their own initia- tive, and they take it in turns, working in pairs, to meet each train and carry kits to the other station. Official reports from National Salvage Headquarters show that the Province of Manitoba leads all others in the total quantity of material salvaged on the basis of population. It is not mere coin- cidence that Manitoba Boy Scouts have been among the most active in Canada in the salvage drives, British, U.S, Envoys Confer With Chiang The British government an- nounced last week that Field'. Marshal Sir John Dill, represent- ing Prime Minister Churchill, and Lieut. -Gen. Henry H. Arnold, rep- resenting President Roosevelt, had held a series of conferences with Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek in Chungking and Field - Marshal Sir Archibald Wavell in India. A complete accord was said to have been reached for "offensive plans" against the Japanese. The fullest possible oo-ordina•• tion is to be insured by subse- quent conferences of Wavell and General Douglas MacArthur, Al- lied commander-in-chief In the southwest Pacific, a communique said, By increasing the output of every acre by five per cent, Bri- tish farmers will save more than 1,000,000 toes of shipping this year. POP ---Monne of Pop's Business "PASSED 'TQ YOU',SNECE5RY 4CTl ON NO! More Daylight More Battleships The lenthening daylight will help Britain'« most important war industry---shipkuilding. During the winter, work in the larger shipyards, which has to he carried out in the open, is handl- eapped by the blackout. With the approach of spring the output is expected to rise. A survey by the House of Common* select committee on national ex. penditure reported, however, that the output per man in tons of steel in British shipyards Is ala ready double that achieved any where •else, not excluding the American shipyards, though tido shortage of labor puts an upper limit on production. - Several British shipyards are now building vessels with pre. fabricated parts which ears be made by comparatively unskilled workers, The smaller type 44 boats such as the rescue craft used for the R.A.F. are mado under cover by firms who normal. ly build pleasure launches, and production has been at peak level all through the winter.
