PRINTED TEXT, Prov. 11: 24-311 Luke 16: 11-13. GOLDEN TEXT—Lay up for your- selves treasures in heaven. Matt. 6: 20, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—Solomon flourished about 1000 B.C.; the message of our Lord taken from Luke was given in Jan- uary, A.D. 30. Place.—There aro no geographic- al localities mentioned in the chap- ter taken from the book of Prov- erbs; roverbs; the parable spoken by Jesus was uttered in Peraea. There are many things that need not trouble us iu life, many temp- tations that do not touch us, yet no man or woman can escape con- sidering the subject of how to make money honorably or what to do with money when it is made, for money we must have, no mat- ter how economically we choose to live. Our lesson today has to do with what the Bible teaches con- cerning the use of this important medium of exchange and power for purchasing what we need, Effect Upon Character What we do with money has a tremendous influence upon our character and also upon the char- acter of others. Money has in it the power either to sanctify or to pollute human life. Men are bur- dened by money, are separated from simplicity and polluted in the integrity of their moral judgments. We are here considering in. our ex- position of the eleventh chapter of Proverbs only those passages which relate directly to the fundamental problem of our lesson. Rewards of Liberality Proverbs 11: 24. There is that scattereth, and iucreaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. 25. The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He is the richest man in the es- teem of the world who has acquir- ed most; he is richest in the es- teem of heaven who has given most. He, who gives his five barley loaves and two .small fishes into the hands of Jesus sees the people fed and gets twelve baskets over. Set no limit to your gifts of money, time, energy; in the act of giving the whole that you have expended will return to you, and more also, 26. He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; but bless- ing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. In the early stages of commerce there seems no way of making money rapidly so sure as that of buying up corn in time of death, waiting until the dearth presses heavily, and then selling at famine prices. That sort of thing is going on all over the world to- day. Foolish Trust In Riches 27. He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him. 28. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the right- eous ighteous shall flourish as the green leaf. 29. He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. 30. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of Iife; And he that is wise winneth souls. 31. Be- hold, the righteous shall be recom- pensed in the earth; How much more the wicked and the sinner! Compare Ps. 49: 6, 7 and Prov. 10: 22. The man who trusts in his riches Is a man who expects that his riches will give him allitbat he needs, not only of the material things of life, but peace, and joy in his own heart, loved ones, friends, a great reputation. Such a man is bound to be disappointed, because wealth in itself will not at all bring these things; neither is it able to make these things permanently- abide ermanentlyabide in a man's life. Stewardship Luke 16: 11, If therefore ya have not been faithful in the unright- eous mammon, who will commit it to your trust the true riches? 12. And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? "Mammon" is a Syriac word for money. The money which men have here is another's, even God's. In comparison with the abiding treas- ures of eternal things, which are the true riches, it is temporal and transient; and a tome is coming when it shall fail: but if the man who has been intrusted with it has been unfaithful, and has approp- iated to himself what really be- longed to God, how can it be ex- pected that God will give hitn en. during spiritual wealth and hap• piness, which shall be his very own, inalienable possessions? One Master To Serve 13. No servant can serve two masters; for either he will have the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and de- spise the other. Yo cannot serve God and Mammon. Mammonhere is personified as a deity, devotion to wvhOnci is shown in "covetousness" MY jack Tar and Gob Fraternise The spirit of friendship and good -will that has characterized the relations between the British Empire and the United States here is dramatically typified by the American sailor, one of many who brought some over -age destroyers to Eastern Canadian ports, and the Royal Naval rating who has come from his own country to help man the ships during their voyage to the United Kingdom. They are shown above on the stern of a U.S. destroyer. which is idolatry. This is an un- compromising statement. In actual Life we find that millions of so- called Christians are seeking to fol- low this out, but are holding ou to the things of the world at the same time, believing that they are serving God. When a Christian is serving God with the whole heart and mind, he cannot love mammon; and when he is seeking the things of the world, putting money first, he is not serving God at all. Miniature Pistol Fires Bullets Guelph, Ont., police had a dif- ficult job tossed at them when Edgar H. Croft, antique dealer, brought his revolver in to be reg- istered. The nickel -plated weap- on measures about one inch and a half from end of butt to end of barrel, being approximately one-half inch in length. An odd thing about it is that it actually fires bullets—bullets less than one-eighth inch in length. According to Mr. Croft, the pellets will lodge in a thin board at six yards. Among the 521 refugees in Hernsey, London, are represen- tatives of Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Poland, Malta, Rumania, and Hungary. Late Apples Late apples on forgotten trees Are flavored with a strange de- light; Sweeter than grapes of Celebes Late apples on forgotten trees Bring visions of Hesperides— Dreams half -remembered after night Late apples on forgotten trees Are flavored with a strange de- light. —Lucille Evans in Christian Science Monitor. Low Ceilings Are In Vogue Today The prospective home owner is advised to consider ceiling height of the rooms, especially as it af- fects general construction costs. One of the chief features of homes erected in the late nineties and early 1900's was the high lofty ceiling. This was believed an aid in keeping the room cool. Architects today lean toward Iower ceilings, having established the fact that any space greater than 12 inches above a window head is of no' cooling value unless ventilated.

Then too, Willie Howard, ace com- edian will be in Kate's show this season — so altogether it should be a sure-fire Friday night feature.

Orson Welles, screwball genius of the entertainment world, held dozens of auditions for the role of the Shadow — thinking to get a newer and still more fearsome voice.

Dominion Gains In Intellectuals They're Moving Here From Ab road •— Distinguished Thinkers and Authors May Improve Quality of Canadian Literature Speaking before the Canadain Authors' Association at Saint Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, re- cently, Jean Charles Harvey, editor of Le Jour, of Montreal, pointed out that the Dominion stood to gain from a literary point of view by welcoming' dis- tinguished thinkers and authors who are compelled to flee from Europe. "The geniuses of an old positor. "The geniuses of an old' world," he declared, "by migrat- ing to our borders may become so fond of our country, our free- dom, that they may be the ex- pression of our national life. By giving those with eyes to see and minds to understand the chance to benefit by the glories of Can- adian nature, Canadian litera- ture would be stimulated into growth and Canada would pro- duce great writers, painters and musicians." There is much to be said for Mr. Harvey's point of view. The United States has gained tre- mendously by the number of dis- tinguished scientists, phlil•oso- phers, writers and' university professors in various depart- ments of knowledge who have found a domicile in that country. Canada can make no mistake in opening its doors to scholarly men who, because of their inde- pendence of thought, find nt place for their talents in Nazi - dominated countries. There will be a considerable exodus of this type of men from Austria, Cze- cho-Slovakia, Poland, France, and other occupied countries. Since the last war Canada has made very substantial progress in the development of its literature, and every addition should be welcomed. Furm Notes .. . Fall Fertilization Improves Pasture There is no more important crop in Canada than pasture, and in the light of the production of nutritious feed during the past summer months, now is the time to make plans to ince ease its value. If the pasture 'has not given the results expected, asks Paul Gervais, Dominion Experi- mental Station, Lennoxville, P.Q., what is the reason? Is it a question of drainage, acidity, or fertility that is at fault? In the last case, commercial fertilizers if used with judgment, will help correct the situation. Tests have disclosed that it is better to spread fertilizer in early September, rather than in the spring. There are, however, two exceptions to this rule: one when the ground is too steep and second when the fertilizer con- tains nitrogen. In the latter case, the phosphorous and potash may be applied in the fall and the nit- rogen in the following spring. When a pasture is fertilized for the first time, it is well to use the highest amount mentioned. The applications of fertilizer should be repeated every three, four or five years, depending on the fertility of the soil and the needs of the plants. These re- commendations are general and may be modified according to the circumstances. Pastures deteri- orate not only by poor manage- ment but also for lack of fer- tilizing elements. 'Eat Less Meat' - Theory Is Wrong Experiments Reported To American Chemical Society Show Lean Meat at Meals in Hot Weather Doesn't Produce Too Much Heat TIie old advice to eat less meat to keep cool in hot weather was shown to be exactly wrong in ex- periments reported to the Ameri- can Chemical Society meeting re- cently in Detroit, Tho right way, said Dr. E. B. Forbes, director of the Institute of Animal Nutrition,. at Pennsylvania State College, is to eat lean meat and other protein foods as usual, and be careful about consumption of starch, sugar and fat, LIOSS STARCH, (SUGAR, FAT The old theory rested on oxpe'l- ments in which each kind of food was fedby itself and meat, or pre. tern, caused the greatest amount of body heat, In Dr. Forbes' ei ' perinaents he fed proteins, 'fats and sugars all together and showed that under those circumstances the meats don't cause so much heat production. r"" THIS t + , M .: 01;01 I Iiis Or u> ions R9.�® Ferwgulso m 1101 •1101 �,:, � CANCER, IS CONWC)N IN ALL ANIMALS FROM TINY Mi`,SEC7SS' .� TO 4-4 P14rte:.
