CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By Cwendoline P. Clarke µ * 4 a Well, here we are again—back to ordinary everyday life after a busy week -end with visitors from the city staying here—that is, a ;?ong week -end, from early Satur- day to Monday afternoon. And you know how it is, don't you? You Scurry around with the idea of getting as much of your work done as you can while your visitors are steeping and then before you are properly through, one or more of then comes to life and you set $bout getting a belated breakfast. And then you naturally like to visit for awhile—but oh dear, when grow do that the time just slips long until first thing you know it nearly time for dinner and you aven't got the last of the break- last dishes out of the way. But ate at night—that's when things really get under way. The men atart talking politics, or discussing $he war, and events, past, pre- sent and future. The womenfolk add their small contribution— whether it is appreciated or not is beside the point, Eventually some- one says something about it get- ting late but somebody else sug- ests another angle to the subject fender discussion and away you go tigain far another hour. Finally a pup of cocoa and a bite to eat founds out the evening and at long ast each person ambles off to his or her bed, The visitors we hope, to sound, carefree slumber, while Partner and I lay our heads on our respective pillows conscious that sitting up to the wee sea' /tours isn't so good for a working Man and his wife. Coates the morn- ing and we sre more than ever hoiwinced that a hang -over from Fate hours and too much talking /in't the best tiring with which to Start another new day. * * * But there are cows to milk, titahles to clean, hens to care for and eggs to gather, and as the day progresses the feeling of fa- tlgue gradually wears itself off. You make up your mind you trust really' see about getting to bed in ood time tonight. Then comes iter supper 'and the Wildest be - pins again. First thing you' know tt is midnight — and the second morning is a repetition of the first. Finally you quite regretfully bid RESIGNED Lieut. -General E. W. Sansom, ;t,B, 17.5.0., 53, has relinquished bowman(' of a vorps thr('ngh ill- >nesa. i goodbye to your friends. You no- tice they look more rested and re- freshed than when they carne.. And then you settle down to your work and to catch up on your arrears of sleep how and when you can, a * One of our visitors was a man who had never stayed on a farm before. We found his comments very amusing. He couldn't think what Partner did outside all the time. He knew that cows were milked night and morning and that a farmer had some work to do which he referred to as "chores" but he thought any farmer was through by noon and that winter ;5•as • a early a slack time. "I'm coin- ing down to the barn to see where you find all this work," he said. Well, he went to the barn—but it was after the stables ]rad been cleaned and the cattle watered and bedding put down. On his return I asked hiin if he bad really been to the barn. "Yes," he answered, "and I still can't see where all the work comes in." Partner laughed. "Conte down a little earlier to- morrow, fellow, and you will soon find out!" * * Another of our visitors was hardly a "visitor"—since she was our own daughter—home to cele- brate her birthday. One of the first things I asked her was how long she could stay. "Sunday night— quarter to ten train," was the ans- wer. Came nine o'clock Sunday night and I suggested to Daugh- ter that she get her things togeth- er. She did so—very leisurely.And at that time I began to have an un- easy feeling about the time of -the train, I looked tip the paper, Nine twenty-two! "Hurry" I said to Daughter, But instead of hurrying she had to see the paper for her- self as she wouldn't be convinced she was wrong. "Don't stand there talking about it," I urged, 'The train may be late and we may catch it after all." Su T left Iter to collect her belongings while I ran for the car. They teid me I took the corner on two wheel's -- which I don't believe. however, Whether on two wheels. or four, we got to the station jut as the train was pulling out. I imagined the car was as much out of breath as I was so we ambled home at a leisurely twenty-five. Daughter went on the two -fifteen this after- noon. February 20' is SUNDAY SC'l 'QOL. L ESS JESUS . TEACHES TRUE REATNESS Mark 9! 30---10: 45. PRNTED TEKT... Mark 0: 33- 39; 10: 13-16, 42.40.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTNG Time—Our Lord's teachings to His own disciples, as recorded in chapter nine, were uttered iu Au- tumn, A.D. 29. All the teachings and events of the remaining part of the lesson took place in Feb- ruary and March, A.D. 30.. —Place—Our Lord's announcement about His forthcoming deatli took place in Galilee. His discourse concerning greatness was uttered in Capernaum. All the restof the material assigned to our lesson falls in that period of His life which was spent in Peraea, Greatness In Men "And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, what were ye rea- soning on the way? But they held, their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the greatest and . he sat clown and called the twelve; and he saith unto then, If any ratan world be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all." They were ashamed t& tell 'the Lord the subject of their disput- ation—who should :be chief min- ister. In the presence of Jesus we are all put to silence when n e habe been proud, ambitious,: full of controversial spirit. The thought of the love and humility of our Saviour shames us into silence. What is, meant by being great? Jesus answered that greatness lies in character, in service—to love and serve all for Christ's sake. In The Name Of Christ "And he took a little child, and set hint in the midst of therm, and taking hint in his arms,he saith unto them, whosoever shall re- ceive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me," Christ favors and honors those ALLIED TANKS LIE IN WMT FOR NAZIS Near the Mussolini Canal, south of Rome, tankmen of the Allied Fifth Army found •a shallow ravine and parked their vehicles while they scanned the plains back of Nettuno, 'Italy, for signs of the enemy.

To see Christ is to see the Father. (John 14:9), to receive Christ is to -receive the Father (Mat. 10:40), Not to re- ceive Christ is to reject God him- self. (John 12:45-48). - For Or -Against Christ "John said tanto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out deutons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us. But Jesus said, forbid him not: for there is no nian who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly. to speak evil of rate." Christ's words condemn all who are actuated by party -spirit, envy, entity, uncharitableness. In verse 40 we see that all men must range themselves on one .side or the other—with Christ or against trim. There is no neutral ground Christ regarded this man as being with Hint, and we must regard as fellow laborer.• all men who are doing Christ's work in a spirit of love -and not of enmity, .although they have different modes of working. Disciples Rebuke Christ "And they were bringing unto hint little children, that he should touch ttiem: and the. disciples re- buked them." The apostles regarded their master as a teacher and a 1 RADIO REPORTER Radio is a very weird business for the people that are in it There , is an old saying that in radio if you don't find a crisis on stir& desk in the morning, you have to start looking for it before noon. It's a business in which strange things happen. Take the case of• Bert Morrison, star of the veteran spine-chiller "The Shadow", heard Tuesday nights 8.30-9.00 over CKCL, Toronto. Morrison read a recent news despatch- stating that posters have been appearing over- night is Berlin, on the ruins of bombed buildings, walls, pillars and on newspaper front pages. These posters show The Shadow a man in a slouch hat with hig question mark, which is the Sha- dow's trade mark. No explanation was given but Aftonbladet's Berlin correspondent suggested it was the opening shot in an anti -spy cam- paign.

E\VT., over the Mutual Net- work and CKCL, Toronto. Dr. Black says "I believe that the most vital music production today is taking place in the United States and Russia. There is a reason for this. Both groups write with an audience in mind because they know that the people are the final judges of their music." * * * Radio's people are all heading 'towards the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec for the middle part of this month, when all the radio stations : from _coast to coast gather at the Annual Convention of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters. Ra- dio, with 'the terrific job it has done of assisting in the war effort, is continually meeting new war- time problems and the get-togeth- er on the "Plains of Abraham" is to solve some of its new• prob- lems. to receive information from heads of governmental depart- ments as to how radio can best cooperate with the war effort and to plan • frr the forthcoming year. The results of the decisions arriv- ed at in the Quebec meetings will have a large effect on Radio in 1044. You can rest assured how- ever, that whatever decisions are arrived at, radio's people fighting on the home front will continue their outstanding contribution to your entertainment and information as well as to our war effort. healer and these children required him in ,neither capacity. But Jesus is more than that, He is essentially the Blesser, whatever form the blessing may take. The Childlike Spirit "But. when Jesus saw it he shall in rio wise enter therein." Our Saviour is referring to the spirit of a little child, the spirit of h anility, the spirit which was mis- sing in' his disciples. Every gentle modest child is lowly in thought, ready to be taught. Unless we are humble and receptive ..like a child we cannot enter the kingdom. "And he took therm in his arms and blessed thein, laying hands upon then." The true disciple must welcome children, serve them, learn from then; and catch their humble, trustful, loving, receptive spirit. The Servant Of All "And Jesus called thein to hint . shall be servant of all," The ruling class of that day held their inferiors in subjection and deman- ded obedience from them ou the ground of their superior rank and power. Greatness in the Kingdom of God consists not in arbitrary rule, but in voluntary service. It is the christian who is ready to stoop to serve the lowest of Cod's children who is the greatest in God's sight. Chirst's Life a Ransom "For the son of man -also canoe not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." The purpose of our Lord's advent was to Minister. All His past ministry was but a leading up to the supreme service He was to render to mankind, and frr which He came into the world 'to give His life a ransom for many?
