Pxov, 22:6. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The book of Deuteron- omy was written somewhere be- tween x.450 and 1500 B.C. The particular chapter here quoted from the book of Jeremiah was probably composed about 604 B.C. Place—The entire book of Deu- teronomy is devoted to truth re- vealed to Israel while • she was wandering for forty years in the wilderness. The One True God Dent. 6:4. "Hear, 0 Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." This declaration asserts that the Lord God of Israel alone is Jehovah the absolute, uncaused God; He who had by His election of them made Him- self known to Tsrael, .5. "And thou shalt love Jehovah: .thy God. with *11 thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Now, if there be any single attri- bute in which the moral character of the Supreme attains to unity, that attribute is His love. The characteristic attitude assumed by Jehovah in Old and New Testa- ment revelation, and particularly in the Gospel, is this of a Saviour from every evil. Well, let. that be the 'relationship under which we have learned to welcome, em- brace, and confide in God through Jesus Christ; and we shall find that we have welcome, pure and boundless love. Those words of Deuteronomy which our Lord recited to the scribe and which, they say, every Jew was expected to recite to himself morning and evening at his devotions, form a most penetrating commentary on the First Law in the Decalogue; and you see how they tax lang- uage to express totality of dedi- cation on our part to this love of Gbd. Every part of every man, and the whole of every part, is to be filled with love. Teach Unto Your Children 8. "And these words, which 1 command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart. '7. And thou shalt teach then diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of there when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." Isere Is a religion which covers the whole day, which belongs to every attitude of man. The en- trance of Divine truth into the mind and heart, the formation of habit and the training of charac- ter, these are not attained by sud- den and isolated efforts, but by regular and unceasing repetition. This is the law of all growth in nature, and of this law God seeks to make uAe in the kingdom of grace, in dependence upon and subservient to the power of the Holy Spirit. The Loyal Rechabites The founder of the fraternity of Rechabites ("Son of Rechab" may mean "son of the chariot" or "disciple of the great proph- et") was Jonadab who appears as the ally of Jehu in the over- throw of the house of Ahab. From 1 Chron. 2:55 it appears that the house of Rechab belonged to the Kenites who had joined the IsraeI- ites on their exodus from Egypt, and had settled in their lands, re- taining many of the old habits of patriarchal life. Jeremiah 35:5. "And I set be- fore the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink ye wine." It is not said that Jeremiah de- liberately attempted to seduce these Rechabites to lead them in- to some sin. That is not the point. Either Jeremiah urged these people to break their former vows only that, knowing they would stedfastly refuse to do so, he might have a powerful illus- tration by which to rebuke the more easily tempted Israelites who were of weaker stuff; or, he may have wanted to persuade these Rechabites to more closely identify themselves with the Is- raelites living in Jerusalem, and to give up their severe customs which kept them separate from all their nearby neighbors. They are not rebuked for their stand but are really commended. "We Will Drink No Wine" 6. "But they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son. of Rechab, our father, com- manded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, for ever: 7. neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land wherein ye sojourn. 8. And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged *Os tit drunk so wino all our days, R.A.F. "Invasion" a U,S, Begins To every state in the Union will go a little silver Piper Cub sport plane like this one, shown over the lower tip of Manhattan. Marked with the insignia of the Royal Air Force, the 48 planes are "invading" the U.S. on behalf of the R.A.F. Benevolent Fund of: the U.S.A. we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters; 9. nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: 10. but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done ac- cording to all that Jonadab our father commanded us." The Force of Example This lesson has primarily to do with the teaching and practice of temperance in the hone. It is strongly suggested that if par- ents will live wholesome, happy, sincere Christian lives before their children, being exceedingly care- ful in thought and in act to main- tain the practice of constant ab- stinence from intoxicating bever- ages, the children themselves will adopt sonic of these convictions. This we believe is the best way to approach the problem. Amateur Knitter? It is often difficult to gather the top of a knitted skirt to fit the waist elastic properly; First measure the elastic firmly round the waist and join ends, then stretch this over a chair back which is the same width as the top of the knitted skirt and seam the knitting to the elastic with matching wool or silk. When re- moved from the chair the skirt will have even fullness and will stretch to the right hip measure- ments when it is being pulled on. First Airman England's first airman is said to have been James Sadler, of Ox- ford. He made the first success- ful ascent in that country in 1874. ail WHAT CANADA'S DOING Allister Grosart, who has travel- led across Canada as the Depart- ment of Information's official broadcast observer, will give the first of his impressions of Can- ada at work on the home front when he speaks from Toronto to listeners of the CBC National Network on Friday, May 9th, at 7.30 p.m. E.D.S.T. Mr. Grosart, a former Toronto newspaperman, has seen everything from patrol operations up the Pacific coast to the voluntary war efforts of Can- ada's foreign -born citizens. He has just concluded the second leg of his observation trip across Can- ada with a tour of the Maritime Provinces. 010 REPORTER By DAVE BOBBINS —0— ACCURATE ANALYST Canada's best news analyst, Dr, E. T. Salmon from the Mc- Master University staff, rang the bell again on the Balkan cam- paign. Dr. Salmon worked in the Balkans for a number of years as a King's Messenger for the British Foreign Office, and the war moved into an area which he knew as well as he knows the roads of Ontario. A month be- fore the campaign was under way, he predicted its development along the channels we have watch- ed these last few days. Then one could turn back and remember that Professor Salmon's predic- tions were working out to be one hundred per cent correct. You can follow the war with a greater understanding and a greater knowledge of what each move means, by dialing in the authoritative summing up by Canada's best informed observer. He is heard over CKOC each week night but Saturday at 7.16—Sun- days at 6.00 pan. AROUND THE DIAL A program with a sentimental touch is presented over the WOR Mutual chain Thursday nights at 8.15, when Walter Scanlon, out- standing concert tenor is heard in Songs of Ireland. —o— To give you some idea of your Government's urgent need of money to meet the costs of war, the Department of Finance is pre- senting a series of radio programs entitled "All Star Theatre" Fri- day evenings at 10.00, that are at once enlightening and enter- taining.

Gardening 1 ARTICLE Palo, 10 Gardeners aro advised to divide their vegetable seeds into at least three parts, sowing a third as soon as the weather permits, a third a little later, and the balance at the very tail -end of the plant- ing season. In this way if frost does cut down the first batch there will be more plants coming on and the season will be length- ened by the last part of the gar- den sown. Of course there are some exceptions to this general rule. One should not plant out- side tender things like tomatoes, peppers, melons, etc., until danger of frost is over. Sow Grass Early Grass makes its most rapid growth in the cool weather of Spring and Fall. On this account, lawn work of a new or repair na- ture should be carried out just as soon as the soil is fit to work. After digging, the ground should be allowed to settle for a few days at least, and then level- led again. It is advisable to re- peat this proeess several times. The top soil should then be raked fine and on a windless day the grass sown at a liberal rate, once *cress. and once lengthwise. This double sowing insures an even distribution. It is always best to get a good mixture of high qual- ity grass seed blended by expert Canadian seedsmen. Good Tools Help Experts advise one thorough digging or spading in the late Fall or Spring, or if the lot is a large one it will be better to get it plowed. Just before either op- eration, if the ground is poor it is a splendid idea to have some good rotted manure turned under. After this spading or plowing it will only be necessary to cultivate fine with a rake. One thorough cultivation like this once a year should keep the soil in shape and permit one to carry on easily with a small hand cultivator, or. Dutch hoe. Either of these inex- pensive tools can be operated without bending the back and both will he sufficient to keep the soil stirred and the weeds down during the remainder of the season. Should Control Rheumatic Fever Rheumatic Infections Could Be Curbed If Caught. Soon Enough—Prevention In Chil- dren is the Slogan The true prevalence of rheumatic Infectious is unknown because the malady is not, like scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid fever and oth- ers, reportable. Rheumatic infection introduces us to heart disease which with the co -incident blood vessel disease leads all others in the list of pub- lic killers. Rheumatic fever ranks high among the most severe dis- eases; it is not so amenable to prevention as syphilis and tuber- culosis. So far we lag in our ef- forts to control this crippling dis- ease. BEGIN IN SCHOOLS Our efforts in the control of rheumatism must begin in the schools. Examinations of children in schools has uncovered some ap- palling facts; 80 per cent of the total organic heart disease of school children has a rheumatic origin. This becomes an important problem when we consider that 3 out of every 100 children are suf- ferers. POOR SURROUNDINGS FAVOR DISEASE Rheumatic conditions seem to be more frequent among persons liv- ing in poor hygienic surroundings. The facts indicate that poverty, malnutrition and unhygienic sur- roundings are the most favourable for the development of rheumatic infections. Prevention is the slogan in rheu- matic fever. The child with grow- ing pains, grippe, tonsillitis and sinus attacks should promptly be put to bed; he should remain in bed until well. Infected tonsils and other foci of infection should be removed, Children should be well fed, clothed and cer::a for. It will pay handsomely to check the onset and course 0,1! r in111mllo Dairying in Greece 13uffaloes, mileh cows, ewes, and goats provide the milk sup- ply of Greece.
