SCOUTING One of the first things former Boy Scouts in the British Army did on the completion of the occu- pation of Sicily was to form a Scout group, which they named the "Lawrence of Arabia Rover Crew." * * * When a new military hospital was opened in Chatham, Ont., a few years ago, Boy Scouts of the city decided to keep the hospital supplied with medicine bottles, for which they made regular coI- lections. Since that time they have kept the hospital completely supplied and recently gave an added 3,000 bottles, * * M Wing Commander Guy P.

Two Toronto Boy Scouts, 15 - year -old Bill Fawcett, and 16 - year -old Jack Davies, an a six- week bicycle trip this past sum- mer covered 2,800 miles. They left Toronto on August 9th and visited Montreal, Quebec, Hali- fax, New York, Boston, Roches- ter, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Carrying a full camping outfit, they cooked their own meals and slept each night in their pup tent. The entire trip cost them about $50 each. Slogan: "Meeting Without Eating" The vexed question of the serving of rationed foods at church teas and suppers, and of the sales of homemade cakes, jams and jellies, has been settled by the new Board Order consol- idating all previous orders relat- ing to the • usage of rationed foods. The section dealing with "shared meals" makes it lawful for one or more members of a group to bring foods bought against their ration books for general consumption at a group function, As regards the sales of home- made foodstuffs, it is ruled that sugar and butter lose their iden- tity when incorporated into a cake, so there is no legal restyle- tioe on the sale of the finished product. The Consumer Branch still ad- heres to its original opinion that, where it institutes a fourth meal, the consumption of rationed foods at social gatherings should be drastically curtailed in the in- terest of the whole country, "Meeting Without Eating" night be taken as a wartime slogan.—Consumers News. What Distance Can High Flyers See? Experts in London have figured out just how far the human eye can see when it is up in an air- plane. They were spurred to activity by :a school teacher who asserted that when she was 20,000 feet above Brazil she could see clear across the South Atlantic to the coast of Africa, 1,822 air miles away. This is the scien- tific decision: Given good visibil- ity, a pilot at 25,000 feet can see into Germany before he is out of sight of the Channel coast. The actual curvature of the earth for the first mile is about nine inches. At 1,000 feet, one can see 39 miles; 2,000 feet, 55 miles; 5,000 feet, 62 miles; 10,000 feet, 123 Hiles:; 20,000 feet, 173 miles; 25,000 feet, 194 miles. 'ASM" WIFE CHATS TO WOMEN This has been one of those weeks—you know what I mean— just one thing after another until you hardly know whether you are coming or going. This state of affairs started last Tuesday morning. I was washing the breakfast dishes, with no thought in mind that this week would be different from any other week when Partner came in and said, as if it .were nothing at all— you know the way an Englishman has—"I think the boy is walking up the lane." "The boy"—our soldier son— who, until that minute, we thought to be on the Alberta prairie. But it was he all right—coming home with a whistle and a grin, I don't need to tell you any more about that day, do I? Your imagination NO tell you the rest. * * * Next day the threshing machine was in the district and from then on it was one grand scramble until the end of the week. If Partner went threshing then son Bob was ploughing with the tractor. Friday noon the threshing machine moved in here and of course I had the men for supper, I didn't have any help. One of my neighbours offered but I thought surely I could get one meal on the table without bothering anyone. And I did get along fairly well except that 1 dropped a pumpkin pie on the kitchen floor: Rusty had a wonderful supper that night. Saturday morning Partner seek' he could hardly tell yet whether they would be here for dinner or not. I had a feeling that they wouldn't be. Anyway I thought there was no sense in sitting around waiting for them, especially as there was plenty 'of stuff for dinner if they should cone in. So I put in time by starting• in to wash. It was almost a case of had to till I had hardly a clean towel or tea- cloth in the house. * About ten o'clock Partner came in—at least I think it was Part- ner—I could not really be sure for the dust and dirt of him. At any rate It was Partner's voice that said—"What the dickens are you doing now?" "Just washing: Are you nearly through at the barn?" I asked. "No, we are not. You will likely have the men for dinner— and we may be a bit eaxly," Now wasn't that something? My first thought was to drop every- thing and start getting dinner. But I took myself in hand. "Look here." I said to me, "you've got , plenty of everything for dinner so you might just as well finish your job. Another fifteen minutes and your washing will be ready for the line." So I finishes my washing—but did I fly around afterwards! From what Partner had said I thot•F,ht the men might be in about 11.30. But it was 11.15 when the engine STARVINGI—IN INDIA The starving old man pictur- ed above was photographed in the streets of Calcutta, India, where the worst famine in years has stricken Bengal Province, killing almost 200 people a day. By Grendollne P. Clarke stoPPedl Oh boys 1 The men .had to wait about. Live minutes, Then as if threshing wasn't enough we had an order for chickens for Saturday so they had to be killed picked, drawn and delivered, It was after eight o'clock before I got to town with them. After that I tried to do a little shop- ping—but you might as well try to shop on Sunday as Saturday. night for there is nothing left to buy anywhere. Oh yes, and I should say that our son left for Quebec Friday night to see his girl friend and before he went it was "Mom, where's this" and Mom, where's that?" You k .ow how it goes don't you, mothers? * * But now it's all over, All the hurry and excitement of the last few days belong to the past. Now we are already to start another week a little tired maybe but otherwise none the worse for wear. P.S. We also had ,a visitor over the weekend. Partner found a pair of shoes Saturday morning. That meant John had come up from Burlington—gone to a dance first, then home and up to bed without so much as waking us. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

Personal Impurity Forbidden "Thou shalt not commit adult- ery. Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adult- ery; but I say unt) you; that everyone that looketh on a wom- an to lust after her hath com- mitted adultery with her already in his heart." This commandment was given to preserve the sanctity of the home. When this is assailed every thoughtful man knows in his heart tL.at all our interests are at stake in its defence, and the nation would not be able to sur- vive its overthrow. It is the heart that should be kept with `all diligence.' Only as we keep look- ing to the pure and holy Jesus for grace and inspiration, can we cease to, look after and desire that which is sinful in God's sight. Deliverance From Impurity "And if thy right eye causes thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profit- able for thee that one of thy mem- bers should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell," And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off and it from thee: for it is profitable fur thee that one -of thy mem- bers should perish, and not thy whole body ge nito hell," Of course, our Lord here is speaking figuratively. He does not actually want us to take out our eyes or cut off our hands, but is simply laying down the principle that it woule be much better to be deprived of these members if, in so doing, we would be delivered from the sins of impurity, than to have all our faculties, our complete body, and be a slave to impurity. Better to sacrifice the most precious thing we possess than to live in sin and suffer eternal judgment.

CRAWLEY & McCRACKEN COMPANY LIMITED MONTREAL Christ, who came through the fight without the stain of sin, and with our hearts and minds puri- fied, impure desires and thoughts are no longer encouraged and nourished. There is a growing distaste for all that is unholy when we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Question of Divorce "And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? trying hien. And he an- swered and said unto them, What did Moses comrnaad you? And they said, Moses suffered to write t bill of divorcement, and to put her away. But Jesus said unto them,' For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he then. For this cause shall a man leave his f,.ther and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh: sc that they are no more two, . but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let no man put asunder. And in the house the disciples asked hint again of this natter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, • and marry another, committeth adultery against her, and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery," In marriage a higher rela tion - ship supervenes, a new domestic centre is set up. Man is bound more strongly to his wife than he was to his father and moth- er. God at the beginning made but one pian and one woman, and he would have man know, in succeeding generations, that a roan should have but one wife. Christ thus shows that from the beginning God had designed that the marriage tie should be the closest and most indissoluble of all natural ties. Where there is a true union of souls in marriage, they become one in purpose, in feeling, in in- terest, in affection, Husband and wife, though in a sense two, are yet, if they fulfill the Divine ideal, no longer two. They are but two halves of a whole 'one flesh.' The argument of Jesus here is, that since they are so in- timately united as to be one, and since in the beginning God made but one •woman for one man, it f.11ows that they cannot be sep- arated without the authority of G od. In our Saviour's judgment, wives and husbands have equal rights in reference to divorce. The inference from Mat. 19:9 in that it is equally wrong for a woman to dissolve he_ marriage, except on the erounds of her hus- band's infidelity.
