THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time The First Epistle to Ti- mothy and the Epistle to Titus were written between Paul's first and second imprisonments in Rome about A.D. 64-66, The Second Ep- istle to Timothy was written just shortly before Paul's martyrdom, A.D. 67. We are not quite sure of what time he wrote the Epistle to Philemon, probably about A.D. 62. Place — All these epistles were written from Rome. The Epistles to Timothy were probably sent to Ephesus; the Epistle to Titus was sent to Crete; the Epistle to Phile- mon was sent to Colossae. Young Soldier of Christ Before considering some of the ver,rof Paul's two letters to Ti- mothy it will be profitable for us to recall the outstanding facts re- garding the life and work of this young soldier of Christ. It seems probable that Timothy was born at Derbe or Lystra, his father be- ing a Greek, his mother Eunice a Christion Jewess, It would appear that Paul on his second mission- ary journey found in Lystra, some- what to his surprise, this highly esteemed "believer, and, discerning in him and apt pupil and a prom- ising helper, he had him set apart by, the presbytery for the labour of an evangelist. The three most powerful incent- ives to holy living which cau exer- cise a Christian are those which Paul continues to emphasize to Ti- mothy as he writes him this urg- ent, tender, lofty letter, namely, the fact that Christ has come and saved us trete our sius,, the fact that we are appointed by him to be men and women of God, and the pact that Christ is coming back, ag- ain; the power of a finished re- demption,'the power of a holy cal lini n and the .power et a ' glorious o11 ?Christ Jesus through the will of ' hope! 2. Timothy a:1. Paul, au apostle God, according to the promise o1• life' which is in Christ Jesus, 2. to =notify, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and, Christ Jesus our Lord. 3. I do thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, ' how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, n' end day 4. longing to see thee, re- membering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy. "This is a beouti- ful and pathetic' thanskgiring. 5. Having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; and which dwelt first in thy graudmoth- er Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also. Guard Thg Truth 6. For which cause 1 put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee all through the laying ou of my hands. Paul directs his pen to the very 'heart of Timothy. What Paul urg- es Timothy to do is to, hold fast and never swerve from the deep, unchangeable, truths concerning Christ and his salvation. We may allow differenc- es in -secondary matters, but we :must never move from the founda- tion truths of our faith. Titus and Timothy were closely associated as companions and help - err of Paul. Timothy was sensitive and affectionate, also sympathetic and dependent. Titus reveals more .:of energy, vigor, of discretion, and of decision. Titus appears first in gal. 2:1, where Paul remarks that when he went up, to Jeresalem with Barnabas from Antioch, together with his adopted son, Timothy, and that Titus remained with him dur- ing his three years of ministry in 'Ephesus. It was he whom Paul sent to Corinth with the First Epistle to the Corinthians. All that we know at Philemon we know from'the short letter. We may' fairly assume that he was a native and inhabitant of Colossae, where his son lived and labored; that he was brought to Christ by St. Paul (v. 19). The object or the fetter to Phiiemon is explained by. its contents. Onesimus, a slaire of Philemon, had run away from hie :master and tound his way to the pity of Rome. 1. Paul, a prisoner of. Christ Je- eus, and Timothy, our brother, to Philemon; our beloved and fellow - worker, 2. and to Apphia ou: sis- ter, and to Archippus our fellow- aeldier, and to the church in thy ease: 3. Grace to you and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4, I thank my Codi,]- ,Keays, anaking mention of thee in so; prayers, Their Majesties Worshipped at Hyde Park, N.Y., On Sunday ay During their visit with President and Mrs. Franklin D.

G CUL Cultivation not only kills weeds, which disfigure beds of bowers and vegetables and rob these respect- able things of moisture and food, but it also keeps soil open so that it will remain sweet and absorb necessary chemicals from the air. Bacterial action beneath is also as- sisted. While a small hoe is almost an essential implement there are to- day other things which will relieve much of the drudgery which the lide still represents in the eye of the growing country boy. A little. three fingered wire cultivator will work wonders around and under growing flowers and vegetables. A Dutch hoe which is shoved along about an inch under the soil will cultivate a hundred feet or so of perennial bed in thirty minutes. For vegetable rows, there are small cultivators pushed by hand hick will cultivate a plot 100 by ENIKG TIVAT1ON w 50 in well under an hour and these can be procured in larger size for horse .or tractor. CAN START YET Even in the warmer sections of C'auada it-is•still possible to have a splendid garden. .> There 'are plen- ty of things to plant which will wine on quickly. Experienced gardeners in recent years have .been purposely holding back'a por- tion of lettuce, spinach, carrot and other vegetable seeds so that the harvesting season may be extend- ed just that much longer. Early June is the ideal time in most of Canada to plant seed of those hot weather things like mel- on, cucumber, medium or late corn and beans. It is not safe in many districts to set out celery, toma- to, cabbage and pepper plants 5. Hearing ot thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the eaints. The love was displayed to- wards the Christian congregation, the faith towards the Lord Jesus Christ; but they are so knit togeth- er where they truly exist that St. Paul speaks of them both as exhib- ited alike towards Christ and to- wards his church. 6. That the fellowship of thy own faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing that is in you, unto Christ. 7. For I had much joy and com- fort in thy Iove, because the very hearts of the saints have been re- freshed through thee, brother. The apostle now proceeds to ask his friend to take back into his' household the slave Onesimus. He asks Philemon to do this for a num- ber of reasons, 21. Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, know- ing that thou 'wilt do even beyond what I say. 22. But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you. These words in- dicate Paul's hope that he would soots be set free again. much sooner. There is still plenty of time to plant Dahlia, Gladiolus and Canna bulbs or corms among the iiowers. Refugees Help Adopted Lands Start New Industries, Cutting Unemployment In Friendly Nations Economic advantages that would accrue to Canada through the. ad- mission of carefully selected groups of refugees from Greater Germany were outlined last week by Miss Constance Hayward, executive sec- retary of the Canadian National Committee on Refugees and Vic- tims of Political Persecution. Would Bring Capital Along Many of the refugees from Ger- many,. .Czecho-Slovakia and Aus- tria, were skilled artisans, she stat- ed, and many were able to bring a considerable amount of capital with. them. She told ot how some 17,- 000 British unemployed had ob- tained work at jobs created through the settlement of about 12,000 refugees. There had been a similar creation of new work for uuemployed people in the Nether- lands by refugees who had settled in that country. Use Canadian Raw Materials "I can't see why that is not pos- sible in Canada," she said. Refer- ring to the large amount of manu- factured goods that had been im- ported into Canada from Germany last year, she suggested that many of these articles could be made here from Canadian raw materials if refugees who could start these industries were brought into the country and at the same time create a demand for labor. Because they cannot afford a proper air raid warning siren, vil- lagers of Wighton, England, have 'provided their chief Air Raid Pre- . cautions warden with a hunting horn whose call can be heard more than a anile. 1, 11 NOTES ,RADIO.
