'Memory Verse, Thou art night, Q Jehovah. Psalm 119 t 151. THE LESSON iN iTS SETTING Time—Tito exact time for the writing of this Epistle eaunot be determined, but it was probably not fax from A.D. 60. Placa.—In the last chapter of tris Epistle, the writer refers to "She that Is in Babylon," which ibas led some to believe that First Peter wets written from the great 'city on the Euphrates River bear - Mg thea name; others have sug- gested that, because the city now known as Cairo, Egypt, was anc- iently called Babylon, the Epistle was wrttien from there. A major- ity of scholars, however, believe that Peter used the word Babylon to designate the city of Route. Principles of Conduct "And who is he that will harm you, id ye be zealots of that which is good?" If we go about doing good we need not be afraid of those who, In a civil capacity, are oyer us. "But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their Sear, neither be troubled." Blessed- ness is a higher thing than hap- iness, and is consistent with the most trying circumstances. A Reasoning Faith "But sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord." Be sure that you• give Him all that is His due, and fit the love of your hearts, as well as in the thoughts of your hearts, recognize Him for what He is, The Lord. "Being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope lfhat is in you. yet with meekness and fear." Let us have a reason tor our faith and let us never flinch from stating it when asked and let us give our reasons in a temper which shall . be the best evidence of the divine character of our faith. A Heart at Peace "Raving a good couscienee; that. wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that • Ye, suffer for well -doing than for evil -doing." •If we suffer because we are faithful to Christ, then we eau still rejoice, even though we suffer, for our hearts are at peace with God and we know we are in His will. Comforting Truths ""Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you. Which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you." What is the purpose of the fiery trial? It 1.a to test character. It unfolds Baur strengths and weaknesses. How often it happens, that men who, in soft circumstances, have been weak and irresolute, are (hardened into fruitful decision by the ministry of antagonism and pain. Glory, Not Dishonor "But inasmuch as ye are par - Ulcers of Christ's sufferings, re- joice; that at the revelation of his ,glory, ye may rejoice with exceed- ing joy." Men are .to rejoice in proportion as they are sharers in the sufferings of Christ. "If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; because the Spirit of glory and the Spirit et God rest- eth upon you. The outward re- viling to which the disciples were exposed brought glory and not dis- tonor. "For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evils doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters: butif a man suffer es a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let hint glorify God in this name." That very separ- ertion from evil which stirred en- mity in the hearts of men against Christ Is the condition of We which creates reproach for the believer. A Life of Humility "Humble yourselves therefore tinder the mighty band of Gad, that be may exalt you in due time." The mighty hand ot God le not to be regarded as that which Is chastising us, but as the pro- tecting shelter wlticb we are leambly to seek. Victory Through Faith "Your adversary the devil, as a xoa•ring lion, walketh about, seek- ing whom he may devour; whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are aceom•plished In your brethren who are in the world," Resist the beginnings of evil; s mere rem- edy Is all too late. It you have not resisted at the stage of thought, their summon every pow - or of your soul to resist at the stage of the 'act. But bear in mind that each stage of the losing battle is more perilous, more difficult than the last, It is a very interest- ing point that whenever Satan is :tntr'oduec:d in The New Testament Ear an enemy of the followers o Christ, a victory is spoken of, and "UNCONDITIONAL" SURRENDER Thrilled Australian lass breaks into parade to give her man a bug and a kiss as Aussie division arrives in Melbourne from the Middle East. 1 10 REPORTER Music now has been definitely established as a factor in war pro- duction. Recently the Ottawa De- partment of Labour summarised the experiences of certain Canad- ian war plants who have been providing radio and recorded pro- grammes for the stimulation of their workers. A number of indus- trial organisations recently have followed the lead of British fac- tories engaged on war production and equipped their plants with central radio receiving sets and loud speaker systems over which both radio broadcasts and pbono- that victory is always expressed ae obtained through faith. Increasing Strength "And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suf- fered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you." God is the author and giver of ail grace that the child of God needs. In connection with this attribute of God, there follows the fact that He had called those to whom the apostle writes to nothing less than a share in His 'eternal glory'. . . This calling is 'in Christ,' i.e., not merely by Him as the instrument through whom the call came, but as being 'in him,' i.e., by virtue of our union with Him.

By REX FROST graph music can be presented for the entertainment of their staffs . . Canadian plants using this method of improving working con- ditions in their factories have re- ported an increase in production and efficiency, a reduction in er- rors on the production line, a de- crease in absenteeism, sickness and accidents, a reduction in men- tal fatigue and an improvement in morale. A complete and detailed survey compiled by Canadian ex- perts has indicated that radio broadcasts of musical programmes and phonograph recordings; dis- persed over loudspeaker systems In war plants resulted in an in- crease of from 14 to 22% in pro- duction. .A. similar survey in Great, Britain showed average produc tion to be increased from 12% to 15% when music was played from an hour to an hour and a half, but there were exceptional eases where factory increases as high. as 23% were recorded. ! « * Different types of music: were found desirabie according to the work being done in the plant. For example, at the John Inglis Co. in Toronto, extensive experiment was made. As a result, because of the high noise level of tate ma- chines, it was decided to use string music exclusively. The waltzes of Johann Strauss proved the most popular. In the Small Electric Motors plant at Leaside military marches and brisk music seemed better suited to local con- ditions. All of which suggests that we may be entering an era of ra- dio broadcasting In which planned programmes will be sent out over the air calculated to relieve the monotony of household routine, or to get junior in a suitable frame of mind to do his homework. Sounds far fetched perhaps, but there's no knowing what research and progress will evolve in the super -scientific world that lies aliea'ti. a * r In case youenjoy joining in the singing yourself, the open air community singsong which has been so popular a feature of CFRB's Sunday evening program- mes for a number of years; will. be broadcast again during the coming simmer.

Britain Training Future Farmers Over 20,000 Children Belong To Young Farmers' Clubs Every county in Great Britain now has its war agricultural com- mittees, which sees that the local farmers are getting the best out. of tiheir land. These committees are . training the boys and girls who live in the country and who • will become the future farmers of Britain .through the medium of Young Fanners' ' Clubs. Over 20,000 children, aged be- tween 10 and 21, who are inter- ested in farming — either as a part-time interest or full-time in- terest — now belong to Young Farmers' Clubs, which were first started over 20 years ago. They keep calves, pigs, sheep, goats, poultry, rabbits and bees, and learn such things as sheep-' shearing, milking, butter and cheese - making, poultry - dressing, carpentry, repair of harness, maintenance of machinery, for- estry, ditching, collecting and drying medicinal herbs, hoeing, thatching, and concrete work. There are now 550 Young Farmers' Clubs in the country. In many cases their activities are financed by neighboring farmers. Many of them are run by .country schoolmasters. ada's Increasing role in the Battle of the Atlantic.

Ever .since the last war we have adored Finland as the little country v ltieh always paid its debts. But we quickly forgot that Finland had another debt — a • debt to Germany, a military and political debt. rhe military development of Finland was made by Germany. German engineers built the Man- nerheim Line, and German gen- erals instructed the 'Finnish army and for two generations Finland was a military outpost for Ger- many-. In other words, Finland is a. German vassal state and, like it or not, those are the facts. Approximately 12 pounds of manganese go into each ton of steel to give it strength and workability.
