DECEITFULNESS
Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-35i
Matthew 24:45-51
GOLDEN TEXT, -.At the last it
biteth alike a serpent, and sting.,
milt like an adder. Proverbs
23:32,
M;emory Versa ----Children, obey
your parents.—Colossians 3:20,
The Lesson In Its Setting
Time—The book of Proverbs
was written somewhere between
1000 -B.C. and 1025 B.C. Our
Lord's words an the Mount 'of
Olives were ' uttered Teesday,
April 4, A.D. 30.
Piave --The book of Proverbs
may have been written in the City
of Jerusalem; the parable taken
from our Lord's discourse was
; uttered on the Mount of Olives
opposite and east of Jerusalem.
Sorrows of the Heart.
"Who hath woo? Who hath
sorrow? Who hath contentions?
Who hath complaining? Who
hath wounds without cause? Who
hath :redness of eyes? They that
tarry long at the wine; they that
go to seek out mixed wine." The
trouble here spoken of strictly
anxious care, complaint; the
wounds are wounds received in
causeless or wholly unprofitable
disputes such as come of •the
brawls of drunken men. _Mixed
wine is that which is flavored with
aromatic spices that increase its
seimuleting properties.
It Brings a Sting
"Look thou not upon the wine
when it- is reel, when it sparkleth
in the cup,when it goeth down
smoothly." The whole sentence
blends the attractiveness to the
senses of the wine in color, offer-
vescence and taste.
"At the last it hiteth lfee a
serpent, and stingeth like an ad-
der. Thine ayes shall behold
strange things." Did wine bite
first, who would touch it?
Satan present the cup in his own
naked form, who would dare to
take it? ' If poison 'was seen in
the cup, who would venture upon
it? Yet is the poison less dan-
gerous because it is unseen? The
adder's sting is concealed, yet
most fatal.
The Senses Stupified
"And thy heart shall utter per-
- verse things. Yea, thou shalt be
as he that Beth down in the midst
of the sea, or as he that lieth
-upon the top of a mast. When
a man is intoxicated his words"
often become boastful, arrogant,
brutal and sometimes false. This
verse stresses the drunken man's
loss of fitness and complete in-
caliacity to take care of himself.
He cannot estimate dangers. The
very instinct of self-preservation
has forsaken him.
The Tyranny of Desire
"They have stricken nue, shalt
thou say, and I was not hurt;
they have beaten nue, and I have
felt it not: when shall I awake?
I will seek it yet again." The
tyranny of' a desire which awakes
into full capacity before the rest
of tie Dian does, and the inevit-
able will which in spite of all
bruises. and discomforts yields at
once to the overmastering desire,
make the tragedy of a drunk-
ard's life. There comes a point
in indulgence when the craving
seems to escape from the control
of the will altogether.
Two Kinds of Servants
"Who then is the faithful and
wise servant, whom his lord hath
set over his household, to give
them their food in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his
lord when he cometh shall find
so doing. Verily I say unto you,
that he will set him ever all that
he hath. But if that evil servant
shall say in his heart, My lord
tarrieth; and shall begins to beat
his fellow -servants, and shall eat
and drink with the drunken; the
lord of that servant shall come
in a day when he expecteth not,
and in an hour when he know-
eth not, and shall cut hien asun-
der, and appoint his portion with
the hypocrites: there shall be the
weeping and the gnashinng of
teeth."
The word household suggests
•the picture of a great house, and
one Lord; and of all those in the
house under His control, as think-
ing of His interests, while derv-
ing under His connmand. He used
the word •that indicated the love
principle in service, the tender
healing ministry that only grows
out of love.
Now, in the parable we see
two attitudes. First that of the
faithful and wise servant. Hie
attitude is simply that of -bring-
ing forth meat in the season,
and feeding the rest; the attitude
• of eating for all the other mem-
begs of the household during the
lord's absence, for the sake of
the 'absent lord. But there is
another servant here, and Jesus
speaks of him as "that evil serv-
ant." He says,' "My lord tar-
reith." He is not returning yet;
and with that sense of the Mas-
ter's absence,, he turns to evil
Courses within the household,
beating his ;fellow servants tit*
stead of :feeding and caring fox
HOW FOUR MEN OUTSMARTED THE JAPS
Marooned for 10 months on Jap -held New Britain Island, three.
U. S. airmen and an Australian volunteer rifleman they met in the
jungle have been returned to an Allied base after an epie rescue,
They built a camp at the edge of the jungle, top, and were making
a boat for escape when a U. S. bomber flew over, discovered them
and took this picture. A few nights later an Australian flying boat ,
landed by flares and Picked, up the four men.

Few of us in , Canada appre-
ciate the significant part that
radio has played in Europe to-
wards moulding the fortunes (or
should we more properly call
them misfortunes?) of that un-
happy continent in the years
prior to the outbreak of the war.
Commencing in 1923 the Italian
radio -has been blasting out propa-
ganda against the democracies
for home and foreign consump-
tion. In 1933 Germany
follow-
ed suit, Immediately upon the
coating to power of Hitler a most
elaborate system was set up for
broadcasting the principles of the
Nazi creed. Thousands upon
thousands of loudspeaker sys-
tems had been erected in Ger-
man cities and towns whereby
people would be regaled with
Fuehrer worship as they passed
along the streets. This radio
and public address system sup-
plemented the networks of Ger-
man stations which hourly ham-
mered the supposed glories of
German National Socialism into
the home. Regimentation by
radio played a part no less im-
portant than that imposed upon
the people of Germany by the
Gestapo, the military and other
implements of the Nazi machine.

What of the post-war world?
Can this vast enemy radio mech-
anism be turned to good account
in consolidating the peace? Po-
litical leaders of the United
Nations believe it can, and so
then; turning aside to the com-
panionship of drunken men, in-
stead of standing in the place of
loyalty to the absent lord. In the
parable we have two results.
When the lord retur es, the serv-
ant who has been loyal to the
service of his fellow servants,
for the sake of his absent lord,
is promoted and put into the .place
of a new authority; while the evil
servant is cut asunder and cast

Mrs. H. M. Aitken, the familiar
CFEB personality, who for so
many years now has brought
morning listeners new., items
culled .,from the world of wom-
en's activities, recently dropped
back into Toronto. Her Wartime
Conservation Program dealing
with every branch of household
affairs, from wartime cooking
economies to the revamping of
the wardrobe, is taking her far
and wide across the Dominion.
Mrs, Aitken says that one of the
most inspiring angles of her 'spe-
cial wartime assignment is the
tremendous enthusiasm she meets
everywhere. The women of Can-
ada are anxious to clo their part
within the home as well as on
the war production line. Mrs.
Aitken told us that in Quebec
Province so many wor.•.en flocked
to several of the ha" engaged
for her demonstrations of war-
time food and clothing economy
that it was necessary often to
have police on hand to marshal
the crowds. In spite of her trav-
els Mrs. Aitken still maintains
her link with her many radio
friends . . you can hear her
discuss the international work in
which she is now =-engaged py
tuning in the program Soldier's
Wife." It's heard over the nation-.
al network of CBC and also
CFRB, Toronto, Monday through

Following along the theme of
wartime interest and activity is
a special program in patriotic
motif broadcast every Saturday

fro= °FRB known as Red, White

a humorous and human angle to
the various topics of .discussion
is your old friend Maurice Sod-
ington. Each week "Bod" wel-
comas, .a ,guest to his Red, White

way war workers in the home,
in industry and agriculture are
able to, exchange and glean new
ideas for the furthering of thein'
war services and charities.
There's music, too—"Bod" spe-
cializes in the songs and melo

Summertime usually sees many
popular radio favorites taking a
vacation, Of programs which.
have left the air in recent weeks
hardly any has found more ex-
pressions of regret than Amos
'n' Andy, Plie latest news, how-
ever, is that Freexnan Gosden
and Charles Correll, ' originators
of the farted radio black -faced
team, will be back in the fall.
Apparently they've signed up
for a weekly half hour program
in which they will also make lib-
eral use of guest stars. Full
particulars have not yet been
revealed but it looks as though
the Columbia Broadeasting Sys-
tem will carry the series. It
goes without saying that they'll
receive a warns welcome.
WhalP: Meat Tastes
Like Tender Beef
Large Supply Available May
Solve Meat Shortages
Tukalook, the Eskimo, licking
his chops. over a whale steak, is
muttering something about he who
laughs last laughs best.
The pale -'faced 1(abloona, wbo
has sneered at his northern cous-
in's eating habits, appears on the
point of becoming a convert to
whale neat. -
It all started in Washington,
where the ,office of the co-ordin-
ator of fisheries of the department
of the interior revealed it had
32 ehoice recipes for transferring
whale to the family dinner table.
The Canadian fisheries depart-
ment recalled that Canadians ate
whale meat in th First Great War.
Rich in Vitamins
Tukalook and his race are a liv-
ing adhtertisement of the virtues
of what, sea -14, walrus and kindred

But they prosper with prosperity
at its zenith when a whale is tak-
en or drifts ashore. Eskimo teeth,'
'endurance and good nature are ._
something to marvel at. The scien-
tists say the whales pack rich
stores of; vitamin.

limitless supply of whale meat
THE CASE OF BOOB SMITH
(A Leaflet on The Loan, by Stephen Leacock)
i am afraid we'll have to let
Boob Snaith out of the loan. it
looks like it. At any rate that's
the way he looks at it himself.
You know Boob, and you know
he's all right; wouldn't hurt a
fly; in fact he never has. But, you
see, this loan stuff Is out of the
question for hint because he's
dowit already—he's explained it
to me himself --to rock bottom.
Take the question of Cigars.
Boob smokes three cigars a day;
always has; but then those three
cigars are "his one luxury,” that's
tete way he put it himself—his one
luxury. He smokes good cigars
because a poor cigar, says Boob,
is poor economy; weakens the
system and weakens the taste for
the next one. If a man smoked
cheap cigars, he'd soon quit smok-
ing.
moking. As a matter of fa,ot you can't
tell what you're getting till you
pay fifteen cents for a cigar, and
it you want really • to know, you
have to pay twenty cents, or for
dead certainty, twenty-five. But
anyway.. where it is n matter or a
man's one luxury, that keeps him
working, there's no sense iu cut-
ting it out.
BOOB goes to moving pictures
three times a week. But that again
is "his one diversion." He has no
other. Be doesn't go four times
brt•ause if he did he thinks he'd
get sick of then. But three times
a week to a good movie and a fel-
ler needs no other diversion till
the next time. So we can't touch
that, It's like that all the way
round, Take the question of Boob's
spring' snit. He talked to me about
that. Every year about this time
Bong gets a spring suit --a good
one, something pretty classy. When
he gets a suit be wants it to look
pretty slick because that is—he
admits it—'his one extravagance.
He gets no other suit till the fall.
This year he may either get a light
pepper and salt tweed and wear
it with a geranium or a soft blue
serge to wear with a white daisy.
He doesn't know; it keeps a feller
thinking. And in any case his
friends have grown to expect 1t of
him—so there you are.
Mind you, as I say, Boob Smith
has cut everything else to rock
bottom. He's cut off his subscrip-
tion to the Boy Scouts and the
Ohildren's Hospital, ant the Deaf
and Dumb, and he's not sending
his niece to school any more. In
fact he's made all the sacrifices
he oau.
We'll have to let Boob out. But
you'll see him in the parade in his
spring sttit.

bhat 163 whales were taken by the
British Columbia whalers last
year—one of the poorest seasons
on record. In 1941, 328 were taken.
The whales may run to 10 tons
or higher, and most of this weight
is good meat. •
Last year's whale catch yielded
255,600 gallons of oil, 130 tons of
meal and 205 tons of fertilizer.
