THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. — The first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was writ- ten frons. Ephesus about A.D. 59. The Epistle to Titus was written by the Apostle when he was in prison in Penne, shortly before his death, A.D. 65. Place. The city of Corinth was located in the northern extremity of Greece. Titus, when he re- ceived this Epistle, was probably exercising hk ministry hi the Island of Crete. Keeping Good Company Paul's First Epistle to the great Church at Corinth. was al- most entirely devoted to two primary questiane—the matter of personal purity among Christians, and the problems that arise in the institution known as the Church of Christ, problems of fellowship, of Church government, of doctrine, etc. In this passage, these two problems of purity and Church life are brought together. I Cor. 5:9. "I wrote unto you in nig epistle to have no company with fornicators; 10. Not at all meaning with the for- nicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world." Paul of course is not concerned with cataloguing all the flagrant sin- ners in the world. He mentions three classes as being sufficient for his purpose. A covetous per- son is greedy, avaricious, often crooked. An extortioner is of the same type, but he does not stop even at violent measures to rob others. What Paul wants the Corinthians to know is that what he meant in his former (and now lost) epistle, by not keeping com- pany with fornicators, is that they should keep no company with such in the Church, as con- trasted to the world, or perhaps, more definitely, that they were not to be on any intimate terms with such people in the world, whether they had business deal- ings with then or not. Dealings With, the Wicked 11. "But as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunk- ard, or an extortioner: with such a one no, not to eat." Among the ancients, for a man to re- ceive any at his table, was much more a sign of intimacy than in our day; and the apostle is un- willing that by the sign . of so close a personal relation, the idea should be authorized that the vicious plan is acknowledged by other Christians as worthy of the name. 12. "For what have I to do with judging them that are with- out? Do not ye judge them that are within? 13. But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves." Paul here is remind- ing the Corinthians that he is speaking directly and exclusively to those that are in the Church, and he brings his admonition on this particular point to a power- ful conclusion by saying that those who were in the Church practising these things should be put out of the Church; the Church since has suffered greatly because it has neglected this part of the New Testament teaching concerning Church membership. Such action today might cause some consternation in our com- placent membership, but it might bring a stirring, surprising, awak- ening message to an unbelieving world. Genuine Christian Character Titus was a Greek Christian, an intimate friend of the Apostle Paul, a companion of the great missionary in some of his apostolic journeys, and probably one of his converts. Here it appears that Titus, together with an unnamed brother, had been sent to Corinth, as the apostle's delegate to the Corinthian Church, where his chief business was evidently to deal with the cases of immoral- ity which had occurred there. Titus was later left on the Island of Crete, to set in order the Church there. In Paul's Epistle to Titus, he advises hien how to deal with the various classes of persons met with. Titus 2:1. "But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine": Sound doctrine is, of course, the truth relating to the Christian religion, is understood by the mind and cherished and held by the heart, having its. fruits in the daily conduct. 2. "That aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience: 3. That aged women likewise be reverent 1n demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; 4. That they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5. To be sober- minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:" The Christian home is not a place where a ratan rules with a rod of iron. There is nothing more beau- tiful in the world than a hone where husband and wife face all problems together, have each oth- er's absolute confidence, do all things in harmony, and in peace. 6. "The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded: 7. In all things showing thyself an ex- ample of good works; in thy doc- trine showing ineorruptness, gra- vity, 8. Sound speech, that can- not be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us." When the life of the .preacher is an example of good works, and his teaching is in spirit sincere, in manner reverent, and in substance true, the opposer finds nothing to criticise, and is plainly without reason in his op- position. He is thus disarmed. And the first part of the fight in winning hint to Christ is over. Pest -'W: r Plan To ' an Bombers An "effective collective system of defence" enforced by armed international authority is the basis of a post-war policy for the world outlined by the League of Nations union executive committee pre- sented at a union meeting on June 26th. Abolition of aggressive weapons and supervision to prevent their construction also should be ob- tained by international agree- ment, the committee said. WHEN WAR'S OVER "We believe," the committee added, "that when this war is over there will be a popular de- mand in all countries for the abo- lition of bombing aircraft and if the demand should lead to the abolition of military air forces and to international control of civil aviation, it would be possible for the first time to arm an in- ternational authority with a wea- pon possessed by no national state." Women are replacing men in Great Britain on the railways as porters, buffet -ear attendants, signalmen, ticket -collectors, and van -drivers. 11010 REP By DAVE ROBBINS "'TREASURE TRAIL" "Treasure Trail" --Canada's most popular game sensation --winds its happy way throughout the summer months, continuing each Tuesday at 9.30 p.m., E,D.S.T.

WBEN'1S fast-moving "Inter- national House Party" has a new em-eee in Vera Holly, blonde, love- ly songstress of the show. Vera, who has been on the air since her graduation from High School in 1937, was elevated to the pilot's seat this week to succeed Oscar Davis, who is leaving to fill a previously -contracted Sumpter commitment. The youthful singer first. used her voice on a collegiate "dare." A student assembly program was in the making and someone dared the blonde junior to vocalize. She did, liked it and soon was singing with two other girls in a trio that promptly got a spot on the air. The trio split with the marriage of one of its members, but Vera kept on—with a singing assign- ment with Bruce Baker's band. next a vocal berth at Schenectady's WBGY, then at NBC's stations WMAL and WRC in Vrashington, D.C. She returned to Buffalo a year ago, and soon was featured in WBEN's "House Party" and its Saturday afternoon "Matinee in Rhythm" over NBC. .1, NOTES AND NEWS Carry On Canada, the CBC show from Toronto on Sunday nights at 3.30 — is a program that every Canadian should hear.

"Shake Mister," said the radio man, "1 never thought I'd see the day I'd be tace to face with Beetlt•oveu!" over Patrol 'Finest Sport' Sailors On This Dangerous Job Face Bombs, Shells, Mines With a Smile They are men of guts. these men of the Dover Patrol, writes Harrold Dingman of the British -United Press. Guts and courage and stam- ina. ,IJp and down the Straits ot Dove;' and the English Channel there are jutting from the water the wrecks of many ships, great and small, of many nations. And in spite of these constant remind- ers the men of Dover, in tiniest ships, patrol ceaselessly day and night. They've been bombed, shell- ed, machine-gunned and mined. Some mornings the fog hugs the cliffs like dense smoke over a vast factory district ou a windless day. They go to sea anyway, to sweep the mines, repair the buoys, to do rescue work, to chart old wrecks and find new ones, and to any odd chore that needs to be done. I've lived with them, eaten with them, drunk with them and put to sea with them in. their sturdy ships. They think it's the finest sport in the world, They're an easy-going lot on these patrol boats. There is no shouting of orders or standing on official ceremonY. UNDER A DIVE -BOMBER When a Stuka or ,a Reinke' dives from the clouds to machine gun, the men leap to the nearest gun and open fire. There's no time for anythiug else when a plane is roar- ing at you at 400 miles per hour, and each man on the patrol has been trained td accurate machine- gun firing. Throughout one full day we plowed up and down the sbr'aits doing important; repair work that might be the means ot saving the life of a British or German pilot who crashed into the sea. To each buoy is attached a steel ladder, so that swimming pilot may climb to safety more easily. e Sure You Get Your Vegetables . Because Canadians live in a clim- ate where they cannot have fresh vegetables from their own gardens .all -year-round, every advantage should be taken of home-grown vegetables during tate next raw months, Miss Edith Elliot, food expert of the Agriculture Depart- ment's epartment's Marketing Service, told The Canadian Press. "Vegetables r a w, vegetables •freshl: cooked or vegetables can - • ned, should be included in eaeli day's menu," she said. "With people becoming more 'nutrition' conscious every day'there is a greater a.p' precia.tion of the values of vege• tables." Vegetables all supply vitttinins, minerals, water and bulls. They are a boon for the too fleshy who by substituting fruits and vege- tables for the starchy foods may not only improve their health, but their figures as well. "Two generous servings of nen- starchy vegetable, one starchy and one raw green vegetable or toma- toes every day is an excellent rule," Miss Elliot said. FOR 0001) HEALTH Prom the point of view of good health, vegetables are valuable in eliminating poisons from the body. 'Che coarse fibrous material in the leaf and stem vegetables as well as the framework of root vege- tables docs more to free the body of poisonous waste than any arti- ficial method, A lunch wider variety of vege• tables may be served raw than many people realize. Radishes, cu- cumbers, celery, cabbage, otrion+t, carrots, beets, turnips and tom;:r toes are appetizing when thus sore ved anis proviclo the highest vitam- in value in this way,, Among the largest users of pints are hanks, railways, and inseratt 'a companies.
