THE LESSON iN ITS SETTING
Time. --Winter. 4 to G B.C.
Place. --Bethlehem, from five to
sir miles south of Jerusalem.
1 t: reading this lesson we will
want to give serious consa.leratioe
to the meaning of this message
of peace. coming down to men from
beevcne for certainly the earth has
kuown very little peace since the
Lord was boric, and hardly knows
it at ail today.
The Angel Appears
Luke 2: S. ''And there were seep -
horde in the same country abiding
in the field, ant keeping watch by
alight over their fleck. 9. And an
angel of the Lora stood by them,
and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were
sore afraid." The word "shepherd..
is used in a very rich and railed
way, in both the Old and New
Testaments. (God himself is spoken
of as a shepherd in Ps. 23 : 1; 80 :
1; l:zek. 34 : 1140. God's greatest.
news le revealed to humble men.
There were many great meu and
wealthy iu Palestine; scholars and
intellectuals. But it seas not to any
of these that the angels came, and
it was not in their ears the music
sounded; the greatest news that the
world ever heard was given to a
group of humble shepherds. They
were men of a devout and reverent
spirit, touched with a sense of the
mystery of things. is it not to such
simple people that God still reveals
himself in amplest measure?
The Angel's Message
10. "And the angel said unto
them, Be not af:'aid; for behold,
I bring you good tidings of great
joy which shall be to all the
people." The shepherds were afraid
because they knew that there was a
divine presence near then. why
the message which the angel was
now about to announce was one
which could be characterized as of
"great joy" the word "Saviour" in-
dicates. Nothing else can bring joy
to any hereon like redemption of-
fered to us in Jestts Christ, deliv-
ering' man Lront galling bondage of
sin, from the fear of death, from the
wrath of God. 11, 'For there is born
to you this day in the city of David
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord."
Not only had the angel come to
speak to men, but he had come to
speak to them of one who was born
to them, horn for them. Heaven
could never conceive of any other
pian whieii could so profoundly
set forth the lore of God for man,
and the desire of God to save man,
as the sending of his Son to be
born under the law and to die for
us. "Saviour" Is a complex word, It
has in it all human nature, all di-
vinenature, all the past of history,
all the possibility of prophecy, the
tenderness outrying the love of
women, the majesty humbling the
haughtiness of kings.
12. "And this is the sign unto
you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, and lying in
a manger." The sign was that br
means of which the shepherds
would be able to determine the
truth of the message.
The Heavenly Choir
13. "And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the heas"-
eniy host, praising God, and saying,
14. Glory to God in the highest, And
on earth peace, good will to-
ward men."
16. "And it came to pass, when
the angels went away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said one
to another, let us now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing that
is come to pass, which the Lora
hath made known unto us. 15. And
they eame with haste, and found
Mary and Joseph, and the babe ly-
-ing in the manger. 17. And when
they saw it, they made known con-
cerning the saying which was spok-
en to them about this child. 18. And
all that heard it wondered at the
thiligs which were spoken unto
them by the shepherds."
The Silent Mother
19. "But Mary kept all these say-
ings, pondering them in her heart"
The rest just wondered, not so
Mary who had heard Gabriel's an-
nunciation. The matter went far
deeper with her, involving her
whole personality. 20. "And the
aheltberds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things that
they hats heard and seen, even as it
was spoken unto them." These
shepherds. seeing the Lord. return,
ed with abounding joy in their
hearts and a new love for God. They
leave its the example of their hear-
euward Ioek and their simple faith,
as in the name of humanity they
saluted the Christ that was to be.

Feed to Increase
Production of Milk
Booklet issued by Ont. Feed Board
Contains Much Valuable in-
formation for dairy farmers.
With Ontario being asked to step
up the production of cheese for the
food line of war- time Great Bri-
tain, this Increase in production in
the final analysis depeuds on the
milk flow of Ontario cows.
Farmers may or may not be get-
ting the best results from their
dairy herds these winter months.
This will depend in large measure
on feeding methods. The Ontario
Feed Board, sponsored by the On-
tario Dept. of Agriculture, has.. is-
sued a handbook of twenty pages
on the Feeding and - Illanagement
of Dairy Cattle which may be ob-
tained free of charge froth your
local Agricultural Representative,
11 contains much valuable inform-
ation.
Feed To Requirements
in. general, the Feed Board rec-
ommends feeding according to the
requirements c.f each animal. Feed
at regular hours each day and
avoid sudden changes in feeding.
Provide a sufficient supply of
fresh water, salt and minerals.
For dairy cows in milk the Board
advises one pound hay, 2 pounds
roots and 2 pounds of silage for
each 100 pounds of live weight or
one pound hay and 3% pounds sil-
age, or 1% pounds of hay and 4
pounds of roots or 2 pounds to 23
pounds of hay.
When it comes to meal mixtures,
the Board advises the daily feed
of one pound 'of meal, mixture for
every 3 or 4 pounds of milk pro_
cluced •daily. Recommended mixtur-
es are to be found in the handbook.

MOM REPORT;
TWO PIONS
a
The Royal Commission on Do-
minion - Provincial Relations
Has Made Two Sets of Recom-
mendations Which Will Be
Discussed at January
Conference
(No. 2)
January 1lt.h, 1911 may be a date
all the grandchildren may be learn-
ing in their school books, For it is
on that date_ that the Dominion and
'the different provinces meet in Ot-
tawa to discuss patting into effect
tlu' Report of the Rowell-Sirois
('omtnissien, And on the success
or failure of that conference de -
p incl nrauy things— (1 ) Canada's
help in stopping the Nazi invader,
(2) its unity itself, (3) the pro-
gress of the country.
The Report consists of 32 vol-
umes. 'Three of the volumes con-
tain the report itself. The others
are on subjects in connection with
it,
It took almost three years from
the date of appointment of the Conte
mission to the time the Report was
placed before the Prime Miinster.
Its Real Purpose
Its real purpose it just one—to
unite Canada by bringing certain
parts of its constitution relating to
taxation up to date and by placing
the taxes where they can best be
borne.
Despite the "2 volumes, the heart
of the Report is very simple. It
deals with the relations between
the Dominion and the provinces and
between the provinces themselves,
and gives answers to the problems
facing the country.
And the main points are easy to
understand. There are two plans.
Plan 1 ie the commission recom-
mendation which will do a real job
if accepted. Plan 2 is a stop gap.
The heart of the Report is as fol-
lows. Thr-, .Dominion will take over
relief of nil unemployed who are
fit to work, The Dominion will be
responsible for making direct oper-
ating cost advances to those in
primary iudustry, that is farming
and such like, when a large section
of tate eominunity suffers a heavy
crap failure. The Dominion will
take over all the provincial debts
and those guaranteed by the prov-
inces, that is, all Ontario's debts as
well as the relief of those out of
work who are still employable will
be taken over by Ottawa.
Ontario's Part
Aud what floes Ontario have to
turn over in return for that help?
Personal income taxes, corpor-
ation taxes and •succession duties.
That in broad outline is the basis
of the recommendations of Plan 1
which Ontario along with the other
provinces will have to consider in
January.

ONTARIO LAKE TROUT
Over much of Ontario the lake
trout varies slightly in each lake
but not enough in any one lake
for specimens from it to be re-
cognizable as different from all
others. This variation seems to
be a matter of varying condit-
ions; lakes with dark water will
have almost black fish, clear
waters will have lighter coloured
trout. The food also seems to
influence the colour of the body
and the colour of the flesh. In
lakes where the main food is in-
sects and crayfish the trout will
have red flesh and brilliant spot-
ting; lnother lakes, where they
feed on herring or perch, their
flesh will be white. The angler
notices thesb differences and be-
lieves the trouts are of different
kinds; actually they are the same
throughout the inland lakes.
Light or Reddish Tints
• The Ontario Department of
Game and Fisheries has planted
great numbers of lake trout in
our inland waters. Most of the
eggs, front which the planted fry
:were raised, were taken in the
Great Lakes, from trout that are
light coloured and have a slight
reddish tint to their flesh, So
we find in many lakes, stocked by
roar

the Government, two apparent
kinds of trout, the ,original na-
tives and the introduced stock.
So far ns • is known at present
these slight differences do not
Persist from one generation to
another, they are not inherit-
able. The planted fish will grad-
ually become like the natives and
the natives would change to lode
like the planted fish if they were
transferred to the Great Lakes.
SEND YOURS TO US
So when you are fishing in the
back lakes and you get lake trout
or brook trout unlike these that
you know from other lakes, re-
member that it •is the water, the
food and tither factors that have
made them different, Our scien-
tists engaged in the studies of the
fisheries are interested in these
varieties and if you want to do
your part in helping along the
work, donate one or two of your
catch to the Royal Ontario Mus-
eum of Zoology, .Bring them in
as you catch thein, not cleaned,
and with exact date and the name
of the lake' in which they were
caught. Later you will receive
a report on your donation and
will know exactly what you have
taken.
Bright Paints
For Factories

Production Increased, Manta-
facturer Says
"The time is coming wben ee
tories will be all painted in bright
colors," Arthur Pinard, Toronbe
paint manufacturer, told membera
of the Chatham Iiwauis Club In
a recent address. Mr. Pinard used
ns ltis thence "The Manufacture anti
Uses of Paint."
"It has been found that dark
colors in a factory tend to slow up
production by making employees
dull, and causing eyestrain," Mt,
Pittard said. "Mtc'n brighter colors
were used, this was remedied aw
great deal,"
DARK COLORS DEPRESS
Mr. 11', Pinard outlined how the
