,THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE
PRINTED TEXT, Genesis 1:
28; Matthew 12: 11, 12; Romans
914: 19-21; •I Corinthians 6: 19, 20.
GOLDEN TEXT—Know ye not
that your body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit? 'I Cor. 6: 10.
Memory Verse:. Let us love one
another, I John 4: 7.
`1rHE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—We do not know when
than was created, and there-
itore we do not date the first
' chapter of Genesis. The two verses
front Matthew's Gospel are from
ran episode occurring in our Lord's
life in October, A.D. 28. Tlie
Epistle to the Romans was writ-
ten about A.D, 00, and the first
Epistle to the Corinthians two or
three years earlier,
Place.—The scene from which
the' verses of Genesis are taker
was, of course, the Garden of Eden,
;t'he words quoted from Matthew
were uttered near Capernaum. The
Epistle to the Romans was writ-
ten from the city of Corinth, in
• what is now known as 'Greece, and
it was to that city that Paul pre-
viously penned his two long
tipistles, called First and Second
Corinthians.
' Creation Of Man
"_ .nd God crested man in his
Own image, in the image of God
created lie him; male and female
treated he thein". Since God
Created Adam of the dust of the
around and breathed into his nost-
rils the breath of life, he is God's
fry' Creation and he bears the Iike-
ness of his Creator as the child
resembles his parents.
The Divine Blessing
")i.nd God blessed them: and
God .said unto. them, be fruitful
and' multiply, and replenish the
earth, and rubdue it; and have
, dominion over the fish of the sea,
Old over the birds of the heavens,
and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth." By the
`divine blessing of God given to
mar and woman mankind is in-
creased, and the succession of hu -
Man generations is continued. The
earth and its various'products and
Inhabitants are assigned to man for
the display of his powers. The
subduing and ruling refer not to
'the mere supplying of his natural
wants, but to tate accomplishment
o$ 'his various purposes of science
and beneficence, whether towards
the inferior animals or his own
race,
Service On The Sabbath
"And he said unto them, what
snap shall there be of you, that
shall have one 'sheep;. and if this
fall into a pit on tate .aabbath day,
will he not lay hold on it and lift
it, out? How much then is a man
of more value than a sheep? Where-
' fore it is lawful to do good on.
the Sabbath day." Our Lord clearly
teaches that there are things which
Fan be fitly dune on the Sabbath
day when the sole object is the
good of others, and not our own
ut selfish interests: Ilutnan life is
Sacred to God, and to relieve suf-
fering, to bless in. any way those
who . are in need cannot but be
pleasing in His sight, when such
service is rendered unto Thins.
Thought For Others
'So then 'et us follow after
things which make for peace, and
things whereby we may edify one
another.' We are to follow after
tl.ie things which' make for. harmony
and peace. within the community to
which
We: belong. It mttst be our
aim to help our brethren, not to
distrust and weaker, their fv;tth.
'Overthrow not fur meat's sake
the ;cork of God. All things indeed
are clean; howbeit it is evil- for
that man who eateth with offence.
The work of God here mes,ns a
Christian brother who is not to
be harmed by our want of love
nit• consideration for his weaknesses,
"It is not good to eat flesh, nor
to drink twine, nor to do anything
whereby thy brother stumbleth,"
The practical lesson to be learned
from this verse is that of showing
t regard for the conscientious pre -
Indices of our brethern. There are
things . we may do which will do
us no harm by reason of our
strength of faith and character, but
others following our example may
stumble •and injure themselves
inc,raliy and spiritually,
Sacredness Of Our Body
"Or know. ye not that 'your body'' -
is a temple of the Holy Spirit
which is in you, which ye have
from God? and ye are not your
own?" Because we are .;hrist's pos-
session we must •do as He desires
us to do. 'We cannot do as We like
no mare than we can do as we like
with someone else's property. To
defile that which belongs to Ilim
is a grievous sin. .
"For ye were bought with a
price: glorify God therefore in
your body." By keeping our bodies
pure, by staking their the fit
dwelling place of the Holy Spirit,
we shall glorify God. No soul 'can
he pure in heart ane. in mind with-
out blessing others, and turning
their- thoughts to the higher things,
and thus God is glorified,
The Time When
Nazis Will Revolt
In occupied Belgium, a German,
soldier made this following spon-
taneous statement to a Belgian:
"I had five brothers, ,and only
two are left: I lost one in' France
aiid two in Russia, I had a house
in Munich, but that. was 'destroyed.
by a bomb. My wife and my four
children have been evacuated, 13e -
fore the war, I served ten months'
imprisonment because I did not like
the Nazis. Germany will only sur-
render when she as . been over-
wlnelrned by . the air raids. Then

Garden Notes
Better Varieties
FRr
F ` Gardening, beginners often make
,the mistake of asking for varieties
that perhaps were popular many
years ago, without realizing that
there has been vast improvement,
and much better kinds are now
available. Plant breeders have
'beers - steadily : turning out better
..varietie's, bigger, earlier and more
tender than many of us knew iii the
old days.
Corns have been developed that
give larger cobs, thicker and juic-
ier. kernels. There are beets and
carrots that grow more quickly;
radishes that are fit to use in a
matter of days from the time of
. seeding; spinach that will not lgo
to. seed and become coarse so
quickly; peas that will be ready
to put in the pot in from 50 to 00
days, -
All these points are most impor-
tant, and especially to the beginner
or the gardener in parts of Canada
where early frosts are all too fre-
quent, These varieties are much
too numerous to be mentioned in
detail here. The prospective gar-
dener is advised to - secure a good
seed catalogue or up-to-date gov-
ernment bulletin which lists variet-
ies suitable for the various areas
of Canada. Incidentally, all variet-
ies listed in Canadian seed cata-
idgues are specially selected to
drive .under Canadian conditions:
''- 14 Planting Test '
Two factors factors determine the time
to plant—the condition of the soil
and the , hardiness of whatever is
being planted. Experts stress the:
extreme importance of , the first
point which, 'they say, 'is very of-
ten ignored by the over -eager be-
ginner. If soil is dug too soon,
while it still very moist, the work
of cultivation is often doubled or
trebled and injury to the crops
planted is serious. Heavy soil will
almost invariably form into hard
lumps that may require almost an
axe to break them up, -
-The. easy test to determine when
the soil is ready. is to walk across
it. If it muddy and, sticks tight
to the 'sloes, then it best to al-
low it to dry 'but some more. If
it ;merely presses .down and crumb-
les when Handled and brushes off
shoes easily; then it is right. This
is the old test of the practical gar-
dener:

The gown's — many with long

The Mobile Division of the
Canadian Red Cross Society's Blood
donor Service "take's the clinic
to the donor"; this became a neces-
sity after gasoline was rationed, The
first Mobile clinic was held at
Barrie in 1942; today more than 123
Mobile clinics have been estab-
lished.
Mrs. G. R. Fuller is the Senior
Technician in charge of operations
of this Service which last year was
responsible for 05,453 donations,
Headquarters of the Service are at
855 Bay St. Toronto, . where 500
volunteers work at the assembling
of blood sets and preparation- of
equipment under trained super-
loaned, so that each of the 50 will
go too wedding after wedding until
it is worn out.
Huge crates containing the care-
fully packed gowns and veils will
be sent to the. heads of each of
the armed services. Members who
plan to be married may apply for
the loan of a gown through their
superior officer. After the wed-
ding the gown goes back, ready for

goes right, even after the wedding,

Center are 7 Mobile Units carrying
all essential equipment for the
holding of a clinic.
The Mobile Division in Ontario
at present aims at talcing 3000 don-
ation weekly; it is now organized
as far north as Timmins. Nurse
technicians and the women Who .,
drive and operate the mobile units
can tell many a human interest
story, as, _ for example when the
clinic was held at Forest, and a
local boy, Mac Wilson, now, a
radio operator for Trans Canada
Air lines, turned up. His merchant
ship torpedoed two years ago, he
lost both • legs, and blood trans-
fusions saved hs life. As he don-
ated he said "I figure I still owe
them another."
Mobile• clinics often find evidence
of real old pioneer courage, such as
in the case of William Teneycke,
Broadbent, who walked the 17
miles to Parry Sound when asked
to report for his donation.
