1..than ..thi*,..;week .vzzuld be.
a quiet week—one in which I
could get on with my work with-
out to many interruptions. And
was it? Well, I'll let you be the
judge.
You may recall that last Sun-
day we had a chimney fire—that
in itself was a bad beginning.
Monday was more or leas of e
hub-bub—getting our son away
again on his trip back to Van-
couver Island.
Tuesday I spent the whole
afternoon getting a permanent—
and I can't think of any job that
I dislike more than that.
Wednesday, after my ordinary
work was done, I sorted wool,
tied up parcels and prepared my
war work report ready for our
Institute meeting the next day.
I was determined that this time
I would arrange things so that I
didn't have to rush around at the
last minute. Alas for my plans!
a e
Thursday—the day of the meet-
ing—a visitor arrived before - we
had even finished breakfast. It
was eleven -thirty before she left.
I was just about frantic. There
was I with never a dish or a milk
pail washed, nothing ready for
dinner, and two chickens to draw
and pack so that I could leave
then at the transport office on
my way to the meeting at 2,30.
I started in on the chickens—
which Partner had picked that
morning—and the grocer arrived
with our weekly order. I got him
attended to when another • car
drove in, This hate it was a man
come to borrow the Institute
chairs which we take charge of
between meetings. Then I un-
wrapped the fis,i that the grocer
had brought, and which I wanted
for dinner, and it was frozen
solid. To cut a long story short
I arrived at the meeting ten min-
utes late, but how I ever got
there at all is something I will
never'know.
4. + e
Friday . ab,.that was the
climax! It was a cold, dull day—
the sort of day when 'you feel you
must keep at some sort of active
work otherwise the dreariness of
the weather would get you down.
So I started to houseclean the
pantry. Now the pantry, I should
tell 'you, opens off the dining-
room awl I knew I would be
tracking in and out so I didn't
bother to clean up the dining-
room at all.
Well, you know what it is like
to elean a pantry dishes hare diad
there all over the place, rota
and pans, cans and containers
are put wherever you can find
room for them, just sq long as
you can get elbow room to Werk.
I'get along :fine in the forenoon,
Alter dinner I started in again
land was busy .on the second half
6f,, ;the. ceiling« when I heard .a.
little tinkle on tag doorbell. - is -
took me 50 by surprise I nearly
fell off the table. Well, there
was only one thing to do—and
'hat was answ£r the door. So I
did—and there was our minister!
Ye gods! The fire was out in
the living-room—there • was only
one place to receive him and that
was in the dining -room with its
overflow from the pantry!
Well, of course I apologised for
the disorder but I also said I was
glad to see him and if he could
sit in a muddle and visit, then I
could, too. So we sat, and in a
little while Partner joined us, and
believe it or not, we all three sat
and talked for over two hours.
And of course we had a cup of
tea, but believe me, there was no
style to that tea party.
The minister has only been with
us two years. I wonder what he
will think of some of his flock!
After he had gone it was chore
time and when Partner went to
the barn he found Elmer was
missing. Who is Elmer? Of
course you have heard of Elsie,
the Cow, haven't you? Well,
this isn't Elsie, it's Elmer, and he
is not much more than a year-
ling. Elmer, apparently, had
seen some of his girl friends over
on the next farm and had gone
to visit them. It took Partner and
two neighbour boys to bring
Elmer back to home pastures the
next afternoon.
And that was our week!

THE SIN OF
COVETOUSNESS
Exodus 20:17; Luke 12:13-34
PRINTED TEXT
Exodus 20:17; Luke .12:13-25
GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt
not covet . . . anything that is
thy neighbor's. Exodus 20:17. ,
Memory Verse: God ... careth
for you. I Peter 5:7.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING'
Time.—The Ten Commandments: ;
were delivered in 1445 B.C.; our
Lord's teachings concerning cov-
etousness in this lesson were
uttered in December, A.D. 29.
Place.—The Ten Command-
ments were given on Mount Sinai; •
the passage taken from Luke is
from a discourse delivered in
Peraea, on the east of the Jordan
River.
Sin of Covetousness
"And one out of the multitude.;-
said unto him, Teacher, bid my1.
brother divide the inheritance'
1*ith me." The man was not a,
disciple but someone who wished-
to use God to further his own
seYt1A31"Isrboroa4w.•.::=Tia21erare-arr Gua'
who have no place in their lives
for Christ, but are ready to en-
list the support of His teaching
when it is to their advantage to
do so.
"And he said unto him, Man,
who made me a judge or a divider
over you?" Our Lord came not
to act as an arbitrator, to inter-
fere with the civil courts. He
came to save men from their sins,
to root out this spirit of covet-
ousness. When a sinner is par-
doned his motive then is to share
what he has and not to covet
mare.
"And. he said unto them, Take
heed,' and keep yourselves fro
all covetousness: for a man's lif
not in the abundance
of the things which he posses-
eth." Men are to be aware net
only of avarice, a greedy desir
to possess what belongs to a
other; they are warned again t
selfish possession. Men lust f r
gold, possessions, and become o
enslaved to them that they b -
come their very life, the thi a
most dear to them. This explai s
why. covetousness is idolatry.
The Foolish Rich Man
"And lie svelte a parable un o
them, saying, The ground of a
certain rich Ivan brought fo li
plentifully. And he reason d
with himself, saying, What shlil
I do, because I have not where to
bestow my fruits? And he s. d,
This will I do: I will pull ds n
my barns, and build greater; d
there will I bestow all my gr in
and all my goods." There is as
unpardonable selfishness in sis
man's plans. With more pos• s-
sions than he knows what to do
with he does not say that h is
going to help the poor or s
what he has. There is no :x-
pression of thanks to God for an
abundant harvest.
A Foolish Scheme
"And I will say to my
Soul, thou hast much goods aid
Up for Many years; take thine
ease, eat, drink, be merry." Toil
in getting and anxiety in keeping
possessions, for one's own seat.
ish indulgence is but a pool result
of 'slaving for years.
Boa of Rich Man's Plan;
,'"‘But God said unto him, Thou
foolish one, this night is thy soul
r2q,uired of thee; end the things
Which thou hast prepared, whose
shall they be?" A roan who lives
fw though he is. only body is in-
deed: a fool, Man is soul as well
as'body. 'Man heapeth up riches
and knoweth not who shall gather
them; Any night our soul may
be required of us. He who trusts
and follows Christ and has his
treasure laid up in Heaven, will
nbt be dismayed, however sud-
den the call.
• "So is he that layeth up trea-
sure for himself, :Ind is not rich
toward God." All men who are
Iiving only for themselves, for
this world's treasure, are as this
foolish farmer. How much better
bo get joy out of wealth while
'VYe live by using it wisely to help
others and to spread the Gospel.
Victory Over Covetousness
"And he said unto his disciples,
therefore, I say unto you, Be not •
anxious for your life, what ye
shall eat; nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on. For the life
is more than the food, and' the
body than the raiment." Our
s?•thly concerns are His -care
and Ile will not fail to supply
the essential needs of those who
trust and obey.
God's Care for Us
"Consider the ravens, that they
sow not, neither reap; which have
no store -chamber nor barn; and
`God feedeth them: of how much
,snore 'value are ye than the
birds!" If God cares for the rav-
ens in that he has divinely ar-
ranged for their need to be met,
- will not do less, best more, for
;van --the crown of creation.
Folly of Anxiety
"And which of you by being
anxious can add a cubit unto the
measure of his life?- This re-
veals the helplessness and the
limitation of man. The cubit
was originally the length of the
elbow to the end of the middle
finger. It is generally calculated
to be a foot and a half.

RADIO REPORTERx FROST
Did you say "Information
please"? Well, here you have it
in pictorial form ... personalities
of the most erudite of the "quiz"
shows. The lady is Jan Struther,
who created the illustrious "Mrs
Miniver", heroine of that literary
and screen masterpilce of the
Battle of Britain. With the famous
English authoress are the three
regular "experts" of NBC's "In-
formation Please" . . the 10.30
to 11 o'clock Monday night spot
which packs an estimated . listen-
ing
istening audience of around twenty
millions ... Oscar Levant, music
authority; John Kieran, former
sports columnist; Franklin P.
Adams, literary expert.

'When Dan Golenpaul first got
the idea for "Information Please"
old timers in radio insisted that
if the questions were to be tough
enough to stump the experts, the
whole program would be away
over theheads of the average
audience. There was also the
difficulty of getting men of science
or letters who would be willing to
"stick their necks .out". However
they came along. So have the
prominent guests of "Information
Please" including Wendell Wilkie,
Fred Allen, Lillian Gish, Gene
Tunney, Raymond Gram Swing,
and Jimmy Durante . . , . to men-
tion only a few.
* * *
• Since the program has been on
the air, it has become apparent
that "stumping the experts" is
not what appeals to the public
most. The most astonishing thing
is that most people love to listen
and marvel at the manner in which
the experts get almost all the
answers to the difficult, tricky
questions. From November 22,
"Information Please" will be
brought into- Canada over CBI.I,
Montreal; OBI, Toronto; and an
Ontario network.

We'd like you to know Cy
Strange, recent addition to the
announcing staff of CFRB. Son
of a general storekeeper at Ailsa
Craig, Cy lived for 15 years in
Exeter, before breaking into radio
as a tenor soloist over the London
station. • He sang also with Ron-
nie Hart's orchestra and was pard
cularly active in musical and
dramatic circles in Sarnia. His
first experience as radio annougcer'
came with the northern broad-
casting station at Timmins. rhea
he assumed similar duties at the
new Kingston transmitter. CI
Strange's friendly, quiet spoken
voice has made many friends,
everywhere in Ontario. He has
one great ambition in life, he says
to playa prominent part instage
and radio dramatics.
Children Adopt.
Merchant Ships
British school children haite
been sending Christmas parcels
to the merchant ships of their
adoption, and some two hundred
Allied as well as a thousand Brit-
ish ships will get a present from
the schools this winter, accord-
ing to S. E. Britten, secretary of
the Brtiish Ship Adoption So-
ciety. He said that the children's
parcels had gone to the Far East,
the Middle East, Australia and
,South Africa.
The adoption of ships by
schools, which started three years
before the war, has meant much
to the foreign merchant captains
and seamen who are often "sign-
ed on" by the school children as
an addition to their own British
ship.
Farmers In Need
Of Fire Protection '
To the farmer has Dome in
recent years the telephone, the
motor car, hydro -electric energy,
the rural mail delivery and othelr
conveniences to make his life less
lonely and to remove many of
the disadvantages of living in
the country. Among many of the
advantages that have not yet
come his way, except in a few
communities, is protection against
fire. And we wish to point out
that there is no reason why this
should be long delayed.
Kent's exempla in providing
rural fire protection should en-
courage
ncourage others to adopt similar
measures.—Chatham Daily News.
CANADIANS IN ITALY
War correspondents in Italy have in recent days told how fighting there has involved hard climb«
ing over hilly, rocky country by the infantry. These Canadians, under German mortar -lire, are hero
beginning a long march to the crest of a hill and new positions.
