RAD REPORTER Oh, Oh! 21,700 Canadians failed to take out licenses for their radio receivers in 1943. The year before, there were 12,447 who list- ened in, but didn't pay in, So says the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. But the Bureau has apparently greeted 1944 in the spirit of optimism.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON 4attuary 30 JESUS USES HIS -POWER TO HELP Mark 4:35.--5:43, PRINTED TEXT, 4:35.41; 5:35.43 GOLDEN TEXT--WIiy are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith? Mark 4:40. Memory Verse: Thou art nigh, O Jehovah. Psalm 119:151. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—All the events of this les son took place in the autumn, AD. 28. Place -- The quieting of the waves took' place on the Sea of Galilee; the country of Gadara is. on the eastern shore of the same sea; the other two miracles took place in the city Capernaum. - Quieting The Stormy Sea "And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the ether side. And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, in- somuch that the boat was now filling." What a parable of life! How- often when life seerns so calm and secure we are faced with a sudden and almost overwhelming crisis! A great calamity, sorrow, temptation overtakes us. At such an hour we are "put to the test. Those who trust the Saviour will be found equal to any emergency. A Perfect Trust "And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?" How perfect was Jesus' trust in His Heavenly Father! He had no fear for he knew all was well. "And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, why are ye fearful? Have ye not yet faith? And they fear- ed exceedingly, and said one ,:to another, who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" The disciples should b; this time have had faith, an.. faith would have delivered then. from fear. The danger of the storm past they were seized with another fear, the fear of being close to one who could exer such power and to feel their awl+ helple sneasand lack of powe as. •sae Rolex "While Ile yet spire, they conte from the ruler of the syna- gogue's house, saying, thy daugh- ter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?" Noth- ing could be more final than the words, 'Thy daughter is dead; and there was obviously no ex- pectation in the ruler's house that even Jesus could now be of any service. They had believed that Jesus could heal the sick, but that He could raise the dead was beyond their belief. The Select Three "But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe, And he suffered no mau to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John tate brother of James.

CIIT ONICLES of GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. s * * Clarke a * 1, H-iullo, everybody •-- I have a question for you. It's this: How would you like to live in a "solar home" --or in other words — "a glass house"? I hope it doesn't sound too crazy to you, because, according to the January Reader's Digest, solar homes may become very popular after the war. These houses are built with all the main rooms faoing south be- hind an almost "unbroken' expanse.. of glass and with a four foot cave which shuts out the direct rays of the sun in summer but allows the winter sun to stream in at will. In eolar homes fuel bills can be Cut as much as thirty-eight per- cent below average; eyestrain is lessened and light bills reduced. es * However the article doesn't tell he beholdeth a tumult, and many meeting and wailing greatly." Jesus suffers no further inter- ruption. He took with Him three of the Twelve as witnesses, but them alone. This is the first ap- 'earance of the select circle of .hree within the closer circle of tie Twelve. At Jewish funerals -.rofessional mourners maintained t noisy lamentation over the dead. _ The Crowd Is Rebuked fend wben he was entered in, he saich unto them, Why make ye a rietilt, and weep:- -"rue caaarer not dead. but sleepeth." When our Lord. ,a: that the child was not dead but only asleep He did not mean that she was not actually dead, but that the death that was hers would now be ended as sleep is ended with our awakening. "And they -laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him ana goeth in where the child was." Jesus rut there out be- cause it was unfitting to have this noisy, jeering crowd about Him on an occasion so solemn and path- etic. It was fitting to have a few chosen witnesses present with the stricken parents. The Miracle of Resurrection "And taking the child by the hand, he saith uuto her, Talitha cum]; which is, being. interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise." The word 'Talitha'»is a 'word of affection and endearment answer- ing to the words 'my child. "And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement. And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that something should be given her to eat." This is our Lord's first recorded miracle or resurrection. Christ's command to give the child some- thing to eat would prove the real- ity of the miracle and complett- ness of the restoration, But why did. Christ charge those present to keep the matter secret? Imag- ine ma;ine what uncontrolled excitement and confusion would have arisen had people heard He could raise the dead: It would hinder rather than help His ministry. IIe took three of the Twelve as witnesses that His power over death might be published later. you how to keep windows "un- broken", nor how many hours a week it would take to clean the windows, nor how much it would• cost to buy shades and curtains for them. I wonder what would happen to that unbroken expanse of glass should the small fry play bitseball in summer or throw snowballs in winter! It doesn't sound too practical does it? And yet I am sure the idea has much to commend it. Personally I think most houses are far too dreary. I love rooms with the sun streaming in through the windows. "Ah, but that is hard on the -carpets and drapes," did you say? Well, I suppose It is —but I must confess I would rather have a faded carpet in a bright room than a bright carpet in a shaded room. * * * But keeping the windows clean so that the sun can get in -- Well, that's something else again. Right now I am sitting in our living -room and the sun is flood- ing the room with warmth and light, but you would wonder at it getting through at all for the windows are so grey looking. And that, let me tell you is the direct - result of using steam coal. And as long as I am using steam coal my windows will be dirty, for as fast as I can clean them they get murky again. However, the, time is approaching when our supply of this dirty, smoky, hard -on -the - temper fuel will be exhausted— and we are not getting any morel And yet you know I like it if only it were not - so dirty ,,It is the grandest coal to slam a fire 1 ever knew. And t¢ hnese is. why Partner likes st so avOie, I am quite sure he would be content to use it for the rest of the winter —providing the house ;didn't burn up before the, winter .was over es a result. But of course, Partner isn't sweeping and dusting, and cleaning flues and trying, without success, to keep the featherweight soot from flying every whiclr=way. If he were he night not be so anx- ious to go on using it. Only half the pre-war quantity of snatches is produced its Great Britain, and they usually go to registered customers, 1 a HORIZONTAL 1,4 U.
