GOLDEN TEXT. -For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost. -Luke 19: 10. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIme.-The temptation of our Lord occurred prebebly in February A.D. 27. AU the subsequent events recorded in chapters 5 and 6 oc- curred in the summer or fall of A.D. 28. The temptation occurred in the wilderness, not far from the barren hills rising from the Jordan River; practically all the other ev- ents of these two- chapters occur- red either generally in Galilee, or, In the two cities of Nazareth and Capernaum, both located in Galilee, Capernaum being at the north end of the Sea of Galilee, The temptation of our Lord is also recorded in Matt. 4: 1-11 and Mark 1: 12, 12. Though other temp- tations must previorsly have been experienced by Christ, at this time Satan made one supreme attempt to bring Christ under his control, on the very threshold o3 his great public ministry, The temptation followed a great spiritual exper- ience, a time of precious fellow- ship with God: it is after such exalted experiences as these that temptation often comes in its great- est power. Temptation in itself is not sinful; yielding is sinful. The temptations are three, and we eau see that they are typical of every human temptation: to yield to the flesh, to compromise with evil, and to avoid the hard work assigned to las to achieve God's purposes through us. Over each of these temptations Christ triumphed, Jesus' Early Ministry Luke 4: 16. And he came to Naz- areth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was. into the synagogue on the sale bath day, and stood up to read, 17. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, end found the place where it was writ - en, 13. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good. tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim re- lease to the captives, And recover- ing of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, 19. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. The entire passage here is to be understood Messianically, that is, as a prophecy that referred direct- ly and explicitly to the Redeemer of Israel who was to come. It de- clares five great tasks which the Messiah was to accomplish when he came, none of which could fully take place until he came, and all of them revealing hiswonderful love for me, who needed him, and still need him, so profoundly. 20. And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat do eon: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him, 21. And he began to say unto them, To -day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. The momentous scene was far above what any in Nazareth real- ized. The Word himself had read the word to them, The Messiah, with the Spirit upon him, was pre- sent in their midst and doing all that Isaiah in "this sciripture" foretold of him. In The Synoguge A word here might be said about the book Jesus read from. The law was written on a parchment be- tween two rollers, and was always left unrolled at the column for the day's lesson; but the books of the prophets were on single rollers, and the right place had to be found by the reader. Our Lord, turning to Isa. 61: 1, 2, must have read the passage in Hebrew; -rend thea eith- er by himself or by an interpreter it must have been translated to the congregation in Aramaic or Greek, since Hebrew at that time was a dead and learned language. Prophet In His Own Country 22. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 23. And he said unto them, Doubt- less ye will say unto me this par- able, Physician, heal thyself: whet- soever we have heard done at Cap- •ernaum, do also here in thine own country, 24. And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country. 25. But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in kraal in the days of Elijah, when. the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great faininine over all the land; 26..A.nd unto none of them was Elijah sent, but:only to 7arephath, 1n the land of Sidon, unto a wo- man the.t was a widow. 27. And there were many lepers in Israel ftt tine :.'time of Elisha the prophet: and, .tioiie of them was cleansed, but Billy Naaman the Syrian. 28. And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things; 29. And they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, "Suffer Little Children .. " This is a nightly scene in the deep underground crypt of a Lon- don church as babies and small children are tucked away each eve- ning to keep them safe from bombs. A shelter attendant is tucking these little ones away for the night. and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. 30. But he passing through the midst of them went his way. By these illustrations from the Old Testament Jesus declared to the congregation that the bene- fits and blessings of the divine kingdom were come in answer to faith, and not in answer to racial relationship. Then they were filled with wrath, and excluded him from the city, They took him to the brow of the hill to cast hien head- long. Hostility thus broke out there at the beginning; but hostility has absolutely no power, and he, pass- ing through the midst of them, went his way. Luke is fond of recording the eagerness of the people to come to Christ (5: 1, 19; 6: 19; 8: 19, 40; 12: 1; 21: 38). And there is no evidence that our Lord ever re- garded his works of mercy and heel - beg as interru,ptio.us of his preach- ing mission, but rather an essential part of it, Far North Produces G ;; soline for Flying Ronald W. MacKinnon of the Northwest Company, Limited, said in a recent interview at Ed- monton, that production of 87 octane gasoline at Fort Norman, N.W.T., oil wells, 1,270 miles north of Edmonton, is a com- plete success. The company, a subsidiary of Imperial Oil, Limited, installed a refinery plant last fall and went into production this summer, MacKinnon said. The gasoline sells at Fort Norman cheaper than aviation fuel shipped from Vancouver. Previously heavy diesel and motor gasoline were the only products of the sub - Arctic refinery. 11DIO REPIUT'ER By DAVE ROBBINS (Ali Canadian Stations oper- ate on daylight saving time) "CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY" The dynamic story of our great industries is the thrilling theme of a new radio series titled "Captains of Industry" that is heard from CKOC each Monday evening at seven (Daylight Time).

POP - One Way of Silencing a Radio Farm Notes , Need for Lime On Many Soils (By G. 8, Snyder, Soil Chemist) Profitable production of milk, the derivatives of which form• Canada's most favored war time agricultural exports, depends very bergely on an abundance ort high quality home- grown protein feed, such as is pro. duced by good crops of clover and alfalfa. Apply Fine Limestone Tests Indicate that the soil of fields where these crops thrive best is high in lime; likewise, that many failures of these crops are due to strongly acid soil conditions, re- sulting from a deficiency of this mineral substance. Crops take con- siderable, lime from the soil, but very heavy losses are duo also to run-off and leaching during seasons of heavy rainfall. After -Harvest Fertilizing Finely ground limestone is the most economical liming material for general application on the farm. , Nowafter the crops have been harvested, and before o•r during after -harvest cultivation is the most suitable time to apply limestone. Thoroughly mixed with the soil, it acts more rapidly than it does if left on the surface. Generally, suf- ficient limestone should be added to being the soil reaction up to pH 6.5. Potatoes, however, may scab badly when the soil is so close to neutral, A pH of 5.8 or low- er is better for this crop, and the limestone, if used, should be very finely ground. On permanent pas- ture lands, it seldom pays to lime soils which have a reaction of over pH 6.0. The approximate amount re- quired per acre can be determined quickly by a soil test. Light -Honey Crop A preliminary estimate places the probable production of light - honey in Canada for 1940 at 20 per cent lower than the crop of 1939. Decreases in production are evident in four of the main pro- ducing provinces, Quebec, On- tario, and Alberta. In Saskat- chewan, the average production per hive was lower than in 1939 but this was offset by an increase in the number of producing col- onies, with the result that the total crop is likely to be slightly higher than in the previous year. The British Columbia crop is ex- pected to be about 18 per cent larger than in 1939. Similarly, in the Maritime Provinces, pro- duction is reported to be higher than in 1939, particularly in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island where the crop is practi- cally double that of 1939.
