CP.T T �ry
By
Gwendoline P. Clarke
Have you ever tried putting a
few hundred sparrows to bed?
No? Well, that's what I've been
doing; and it's quite a job. You
:see it happened this way. Along
one wall by our front door we
have a vigorous growth of Vir-
ginia creeper. I was year., get-
ting a root well established and
I longed so much to see it creep-
ing up the wall. And at last the
creeper grew, and has continued
growing for the last three or
four years. But alas, its dense
growth has proved to be a regu-
lar haven for all the sparrows in
the neighborhood. One has only
to step outside' our front door
and the birds fly out by the hun-
dred. Yes, I actually mean that—
to say by the dozen, or the score,
wouldn't describe the situation at
all. And, oh dear, you never saw
anything like the mess — the
steps, the window -sills and the
creeper are absolutely plastered.
I ani cured for all time of any
desire to have Virginia creeper
growing over any wall of our
house!
But yet I don't want to destroy
it altogether—at least not yet—
so I thought I would see what
thinning out the foliage would
do. I clipped away at what I
could reach and then got Part-
ner's help for the high spots.
That same evening I worked
out in the garden in order to
watch the birds' bedtime manoeu-
vres. They came back all right,
but not in such large numbers.
And then I fixed them, I armed
myself with a clothes prop and
beat the creeper with it each
time the birds came back to roost.
As long as I stayed near the steps
all they did was sit on the eaves -
trough and watch for an oppor-
tunity to fly to their hiding place.
But if I no more than disap-
peared around the corner of the
house they were back again in
full force. But I stayed around
and finally the birds decided to
spend the night in some nearby
trees. So you see I really. did
put the sparrows to becl.
Isn't it strange that so fre-
quently what we have longed for
proves such a disapp ointment
when we get it? Haven't ,you
often found it so? We build up
for years on something we want
to get, or to do, and when our
dream comes true we find it
doesn't measure up at all to our
expectations. For instance, we
all know people so obsessed with
the idea of saving up for the.
future that they get no pleasure
from living at all. In such cases
one of two things always. happens
—either the person dies while
.still working, or' else he retires,
only to find that hard work has
become so much a part of his
daily life that the time and abil-
ity for enjoying his hard-won
leisure has long since passed. He
has forgotten how to relax. The
pity of it! One can imagine
Puck looking on and chuckling
to himself — "Lord, what fools
these mortals be !"
Of course I do not mean that
we should not save for the future
•-. and at present there is no bet-
ter way than to invest what we
can save in Victory Bonds—but
we should beware of getting so
far into the woods that we can-
not see the trees. There is a
happy medium in saving just as
there is in spending. To deny
ourselves a little pleasure for
the sake of a mythical future is
false economy—and it is not so
hard to find as might be sup-
posed. A weary farm -wife takes
a day off to visit her new grand-
child and comes back with a new
zest for' life; friend husband
takes in a nearby auction sale
and, in hob-nobbing with his
neighbors, realizes that his is not
the only poor crop in the district.
As for the homes where there
are still small children, it takes
so little to make them happy, the
dear wee souls. A little extra
attention from Mother — a new
dress for a doll; a bright coat of
paint on the wee boy's wagon
and their world is bubbling over
with joy and laughter. And then
we have the radio for entertain-
ment. No, it is not all "hot"
music—there are programs there
to inspire, amuse and delight all
those who take the time and trou-
ble to find them. Of course we
also want the latest war news
but don't let us clutter up our
minds by listening to every news
broadcast there is—for that way
madness lies.
Kidnaps Queen Bee
From R.A.F. Bomber
It happened on an airfield in
Britain. Working on a giant
Halifax bomber at its dispersal
point, the ground crew suddenly
heard a strange buzzing noise,
and saw a great procession of
bees enterin, and leaving a small
hole in the tail of the plane.
The Halifax was due to bomb
Germany that. night, bees or no
bees. A frantic search through-
out the district ens -ed until a
local clergyman was discovered
who said he could handle the un-
welcome passengers. Gingerly the
ground crew stripped part of the
fabric off the tail, and the clergy-
man, wearing gloves, found the
queen bee—whom he bore off,
followed by the rest of the colony,
The ground crew patched up
the fabric and a few hours later
the bomber took off for Cologne.

Obedience To God
"And it shall come to pass, if
ye shall hearken diligently unto
my commandments which I com-
mand you this day, to love Jehovah
your God, and to serve him with
all your heart and with all your
soul, that I will give the rain of
your land in its season, the former
rain and the latter rain, that
thou mayest gather in thy grain,
and thy new wine, and thine oil.
And I will give grass in thy fields
for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat
and be full,"
God is concerned with the phy-
sical welfare, the material pros-
perity, of His people. God does
not desire His own chosen people
to live in constant hardship, nor
any nation that follows Him to
have to suffer long years of pov-
erty or famine. What God first
wants is the heart to be yielded
to Him, and then all the things
that man can desire will God
lovingly bestow.
Warning About Idolatry
"Take heed to yourselves, lest
your heart be deceived, and ye
turn aside, and serve other gods,
and worship them; ani the anger
of Jehoval. be kindled against
you and he shut up the heavens,
so that there shall be no rain,
and the land shall not yield its
fruit; and ye perish quickly from
off the good land w'aich Jehovah
giveth you."
The heart is the citadel of the
whole moral being, and so long
as it is kept for the Lord, the
enemy can gain no advantage;
but when once it is surrendered,
all is really gone—there is the
turning aside — other gods are
served and worshipped.
"Teach Thy Children"
"Therefore shall ye lay. up
these my words in your heart and
in ,, our soul; and ye shall bind
them for a sign upon your hand,
and they shall be for frontlets
between your eyes. And ye shall

WARRIOR OF DIEPPE AND KISKA
Under a hail of steel and fire, on the beaches of Dieppe, Lieut. -Col. Dollard Menard, D.S.O., officer
commanding Les Fusiliers Mont -Royal, fought gallantly, was wounded five times in as many hours,
covered the re -embarkation of his men and fainted as he was carried back on a landing barge. Regain-
ing consciousness he organized the anti-aircraft defense of the barge, lying flat on his back. In the
recent invasion of Kiska by Canadian and American troops Col, Menard commanded the Hull Regiment
of Quebec. This drawing by Hubert Rogers, depicting the scenes of Dieppe appears on the latest poster
in the National Film Board's "Men of Valor" series.
teach them your children, talking
of them, when thou sittest in thy
house, and upon thy gates; that
your days may be multiplied, and
the days of your children, in the
land which Jehovah sware unto
your fathers to give then., as the
days of the heavens above the
earth,"
Obedience to the law of God
does not come naturally to fallen
man. Man's tendency is down-
ward, not upward; away from
God, not toward God. Man must
be continually reminded of the
laws and commandments and will
of God, or else he will forget
then and live in disobedience to
them. Therefore the Israelites
are told that they should first
lay up the words of the law of
God in their heart and in their
soul, and then bind thein upon
their hand and on their forehead
between their eyes. The Jews
have literally fulfilled this, by •
binding in little boxes, on their
arms and foreheads, written por-
tions of the book of the law.
What really is meant here is that
whatever one does, and whatever
one thinks, should be controlled
by the law of God. It is not so
important for us to have little
pieces of paper nailed up on the
doorpost, on which the law is in-
scribed, as it is for us to have a
home recognized by those who
enter it as belonging to the Lord,
It is the home that is to be sancti-
fied.
Assurance Of Victory
For if ye shall diligently keep
all this commandment which I
command you, to do it, to love
Jehovah your God, to walk in all
• his ways, and to cleave unto him;
then will Jehovah drive out all
these nations from before you,
and ye shall dispossess nations
greater and mightier than your-
selves. Every place whereon the
sole of your foot shag' tread shall
be yours: from. the wilderness,
and Lebanon, from the river, the
river Euphrates, even unto the
hinder sea shall be your border.
There shall no man be able to
stand before you: Jehovah your
God shall lay the fear of you and
the dread of you upon all the
land that ye shall tread upon, as
he hath spoken unto you." Here
is a definite promise that no hat-
ter how powerfuI the inhabitants
of Canaan should be at the time
of Israel's entrance into the
promised land, God would give
the Israelites a sweeping victory
over all of then if ' they would
but continue to walk in His com-
mandments. When Israel was in
obedience to God her victories
were assured and continuous;
when she disobeyed God, either
as a people or as individuals,
defeat o rertook her. There is no
greater illustration than this, that
the tragedy that occurred to
Israel in her early days of ad-
vance into Palestine was because
of the sin of Achan (Josh. 7),
and the glorious victory that came
tt her against the very same city
which had defeated her when this
sin was put away (Josh. 8).

Nazis See Red

Nazis in Norway are seeing red

Oslo report. Thirty thousand shoes
were to be made, the factory was
ready, and officials -had approved
the samples. Suddenly production
was ordered stopped. The Nazis
had discovered that the paper for
the shoes was colored red, white,
