To the southeast, other Soviet forces widened a wedge across the Odessa -Warsaw rail- road. C t. ES GIE 161 By GwendoJine P. Clarke 4 M * • * '\Ve are living in a different world, Partner and I. A different world, that is, from the one we were in ast week. VVe are living where there is comfort. and warmth, and a feeling of intense satisfaction. All that as a result of having a furnace iustalled. You people who have been used to warm furnace heated houses all your lives; yon who have never had • ;-, spend half your time running from one stove to another—and thee not have the house warm—you cont know what it means to feel that you are fleetly through with . a tt annual fight to keep some sem- blance of heat and comfort in your house. Of :•:.,.rse I don't ocean to iggest that a house cannot be pro - i eerly heated without a furnace. Many can be, and are. It depends on tate house—nn its co=rstre tir,n, its position aa -i its size. ,\Ve Have tried our best with stoves zed after figuring things out from every angle see decided that a fur- nace would take less fuel and give -better results titan three stoves. Why- haven't we installed one be- fore? Well, consider farm prices for ten years previous to the war attd you have the answer. * * * Well. I had no idea putting in a, furnace meant so much work, took so much tinte, and made so much confusion. The plumber tells Inc that this job in a new house is a r, neh—installing one in an old, soldily built house is something else ;swain: But he didn't need to tell um—I could set for myself. I'Ve hate three cellars under the house, d tided be- stone walls twelve in- eLes thick. Holes had to be made in these walls for the pipes to go through—and some of the pipes Were twelve and fourteen inches in diameter. Partner was helping the plumber, and the two of them were pounding away with picks and crowbars. There was a time when ,I wondered is tete job would ever be finished. * , * I don't kr-ow what the plumber thought of the—every day I would Say—"Shall we be able to light the furnace today?" Finally, last Fri- day, came the answer for which I had been longing—"I think we can light the furnace about four o'clock today!" I had to go out that afternoon but believe me I was back by four o'clock. However it was six 41. V. C. WINNER o'clock before lee set a match to our first furnace fire. Oh, the joy of it! The sheer coinfort of stand- ing near a register and feel the warm air rising. It is almost too good to be true. Partner and I have been cold in this house so long that we feel now as if we vent to soak up all the heat we can get; * * Of course I ani finding plenty of extra work to do because as each room is finished I get it clean- ed and the furniture rearranged. And how much easier it is to ar- range things when there isn't a stove stuck in the middle of the room! The plumber will be here for another two days yet as there is still the upstairs to do. Saturday I was so tired I was almost ready to drop in my tracks—and yet there was nothing I wanted so muck as to keep on working. * * * Perhaps you will say—"Yes, put- ting in a furnace may be all right, but don't you know there is a war on—couldn't you have waited?" To which I might answer: Yes, we know there is a war on—perhaps better than some. We also know 'that we have been farming twenty years; that we are both pretty much like the "old grey mare"; and that if we are to carry on we can't af- ford to have our vitality drained by cold and discomfort in the house. I need a waren house to work in; Partner needs it for the little time he has in which to relax, Yes, we really feel we can enjoy our long- delayed comfort with a clear con- s cience. Highway Rule For p`''edestrians Pedestrians on the roads and highways of the province often cause motorists a near -fright by their apparent indifference to traf- fic, whether slow or speedy. The rule for persons walking on the highways should be to walk towards approaching traffic, always on the left side of the• road. Then there is no danger of being over- taken by traffic, to be injured thereby. Thus, during darkness, the pedestrian always has sufficient warning by the vision from a dis- tance of approaching cars. Also it is just a step off the pavement should that stepbe necessary, without having to look around, as would be required were the walker on the other side of the road, If .pedestrians always walked on the left side of the road there would seldom be an accident to report involving thein. It is the rule of the road in the sections and a common-sense method and worthy of universal adoption. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON APRIL 9 CHRIST'S VICTORY OVER DEATH (Easter Lesson) ' Mark let 1-8; 1 Corinthians 15. PRINTED TEXT -_»l Corinthians 15: 41.58, GOLDEN TEXT — Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 15 : 57, MEMORY VERSE: Thou art nigh, 0 Jehovah, Psalm 110 •,151. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time, ---The appearance of our Lord to the women on Easter Sun- day morning took place on Sun- day, April 0, A.D. 30. The first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was written to the great Greek city of Corinth somewhere between AD. 57 and 59. Place — The first appearance of our Lord to the women took place near the empty tomb, probably in the garden surrounding the tomb of Joseph of Aritnathaea. The church of Corinth, to which this Epistle was addressed, was in the great city of that name in central Greece. State of Incorruption "There is one glory of :the sun, and another of the moon, and an- other glory of the stars; for one star differeth front another star in glory," Paul simply draws atten- tion to the many differences. that appear in bodily forms. "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it' is raised in incorruption." Incor-' ruption is a timeless stale,: perfect, constant, changeless. Dishonor and Gioia, "It is sown in _ dishonor; it is raised in glory." The apostle has no thought of any positive dis- honor inflicted either by God or man upon the body during the present life -- dishonoris simply in contrast with glory. "It is sown in weakness; it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual Body. If there is a na- tural body, there is also a spiritual body-." As the phrase 'a natural body' means a body like ours, formed by the energy of the prin- ciple of animal life, so must the phrase 'a spiritual body', which de- scribes the resurrection body, de- note a body which shall be formed by the energy of the immortal spirit, a body specially adapted to the cravings and necessities of the spirit, as this present 'body is to those of the animal life, In The Image of Christ "So also it is written, the first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giv- ing spirit. How belt that is `not first which is spiritual. but t'tat which is natural; then that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second mane is of heaven," The first Adam here, of course, is the first ratan God•. created. The last Adair is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostle contrasts the first and second Adam. The one was a man; the other infinitely more. A Precious Promise "As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly, And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall "APPEASER" Prince Barbu Stirbey, above, for- mer Rumanian premier, is reported en route to Cario, seeking Allied peace terms.

Photo obtained through neutral sources. also bear the image of. the heaven- ly," This verse contains one of the :most precious promises in all the New Testament: we shall also bear the image of the heavenly, that is, we will he like unto the Lord Jesus. Our Corruptible Bodies "Now this I say, .brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth cor- ruption inherit corruption." If the kingdom of God is characterized by incorruptibleness, that is, absolute purity, we will have to have in- corruptible bodies. The Death of Believers "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not sleep, but we shall all he changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised in- corruptible, and we shall be chang- ed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal trust put on immortality." The sleep referred to is of course, the death of believers, An incorrupt- ible ,body implies a great deal; for the truth is that most, if not all, of the bodily pain we experience is due to the fact that this present • body is corruptible. But when the body shall be made incorruptible there shall be no longer any pain er ,offering. There shall be no riore death. Victory Over Death "But when this corruptible s=tall have put on incorruption, and this !-mortal :hall have put on immor- 'telity, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in 'victory. 0 death, where is thy victory? 0 death, wi ero is thy sting? The sting of death ie sin; and the power of sin is the law: but thanks be to God, wito giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Christ not only • gives us this victory over death, but He creates the soul aster the image of God and He repairs all the evils which death had inflicted, He restores us to ' that state from which sin had cast its down. Steadfastness and Fervor "\3'herefore, my beloved breth- Teu, be ye steadfast, unmovable, al- ways Abounding in the work of the I.ord, forasmuch as ye know that your laic,:' is not vain in the Lord." We knob\ that the Lord will bring rich results from any investment of labor we make for 'Hine and that ultimately there awaits a glorious reward for those who have been faithful to Him. Work done for Christ, in the pow- er of the holy Spirit, is work done for eternity, , Parachutes Made Of The Finest Silk It takes a jerk • of 5?•: tons to break the 28 cords of the British Army's parachute. Each rigging line is trade of the finest braided silk cord, tested to a breaking strain of 450 lbs. The canopy to which they are attached is made 61 the finest silk. The whole business weighs .30 lbs., including harness and container bad, and costs £70 (2801, As a consequence it is now cal- claiated that parachute jumping is no more dangerous than jumping off a slow bus. Minor injuries, such as sprained ankles and wrists, are down to less than three per thousand. Careful packing is an additional factor in this record. A flight -sergeant, who has been re- sponsible for the packing of 38;- 000 parachutes; has never had one fail to open. Record time for a man to run 440 yards (quarter -mile) is 46.2 seconds; this record was establish- ed in America, HOW' D!D YOU LIKE' THAT BOTTLE OF LAVENDER WATEtc S S E1J •T, Y01.J '7 1 EPORi EB AL'LEARY \Vitlt the war well into the fifth year, and the impending inves- sion together with the other major operations demanding our atten- tion, radio has recruited and put into the field a large army of in- formed commentators.

Electronic Express For Speedy Travel Aboard an "Electronic Express," travelers leaving New York would reach Chicago in half an hour and the Pacific Coast in an hour, ac- cording to Dr, Irving Langmuir, natural scientist who has won the Nobel prize for his reseaches. Writing in "Mechanix Illustrated Magazine," Dr. Langmuir says "there is no fundamental reason why we could not travel at a speed of 2,000 to 5,000 miles an: hour through a vacuum tube in which electronically controlled air -tight vehicles are magnetically, ,suspend- ed in space." In agriculture, Dr. Langmuir envisions an orchard operated en- tirely without workersi in which fruit -bearing trees- can be.• culti- vated, and the fruit picked by ma- chines operated and controlled elec- tronically. f e HORIZONTAL; 1,6 Pictured young actress. 10 Entices. 11 Proportion, 12 Term in bowling (pi,). 14E�nave of clubs (cards). 15 One who prevaricates. 18 Parts of moldings. 19 Nocturnal flying mammal. 20 Concluding clause of a writ (law). 21 Formed a knot in. 22 Pertaining to us. 23 Sacred vocal compositions. 24 Hypothetical structural units. 25 Leases, 27 Pints ,(abbr.), 28 Music note.
