The idea is to furnish Britons With a suit which will save cloth and labor. It is the brainchild of S. Klein, managing director of one of London's smartest stores. Here is the idea: A s'hort single- breasted` fourabuttoned coat and the elimination of the cherished waistcoat or +est. Linings would be whittled down and there would be only one button on each sleeve. Pockets would be without flaps. The trousers would have no cuffs. There would be no buttons for sus- penders or as they are called there, braces, and there wouldn't be belt loops, S. Klein says there are cer- tain self-supporting details which will save the day. So all the Englishman needs is money, clothing coupons and hips enough to keep up the trousers. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 10 Revelation: A Message to Per- secuted Churches, Revelation 1-8. GOLDEN TEXT: Be thou faith- ful unto death, and 1 will give thee the crown of life. Rev, 2 : 10. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—About A.D. 05. Place—The Island of Patmos, in the Aegean Sea. We might speak of the book of Revelation as the crowning dome of the word of God; as in the book of Genesis, all fundamental, re- vealed truths originate, so in the book of Revelation, do all funda- mental truths terminate, The book records a series of mighty battles, ending in one tremendous and final victory, with all sin being put away, and the Lamb of God on the throne forever. Angels of the Church 1. "To the angel of the Church in Ephesus write: These things 'faith he that holdeth the seven its p in his rtehtbeens. se -: aust of" 5@.eevea golden candlesticks; 2. I know thy works, and thy tail and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false; 8. and thou hast patience and dtdst bear for my name's sake, and hast not grown weary. 4. But 1 have this against thee, that thou dtdst leave thy first love. 5. Re- member therefore when thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place except thou repent. 5. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the weeks of the Nicol- aitans, which I also hate, 7. He tbat hath an ear, let him hear 'what the Spirit said to the church- es. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God." It is not known exactly who is meant by the "angels" of the seven churches. It may have been the leading elder or ranking officer of each of the churches. Church at Ephesus The Church at Ephesus, which was founded by the Apostle Paul, Is commended for its good works, its labor, its patience in the midst of trials, and its abhorence of evil men. They, like the Lord, had hated the works of the Nicolaitans, a group of an impure and licen- tious character, which would bring into the Church the corruption of pa•anism. In everything it would seem the Church had been walk- lgn worthy of the name of its Lord Christ, But one thing was wrong. it had departed from its first love. First love is the abandonment of all for a love that has abandoned all. A warning follows that, if the Ephesian Church did not repent of this departure from the Lord, she would be extinguished. She has been. There is no Church, nor any semblance of a group of believers. In Ephesus today. It is nothing hut ruins. Church in Smyrma 8. "And to the angel of the Church in Smyrma write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again: 9. I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty (but thou are rich), d the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10. Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer; behold the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life, 11.

Frequently the beggar beat his breast, crossed himself and bowed to sympathetic passers-by who tossed coins and bits of bread into his lap. Artillery shells crashed nearby and German planes bombed the road but the beggar did not move. Finally a Russian major passed ,and noticed that the beggar wore ,an old fashioned home -spun shirt no longer in vogue in Russia, He saw suspicious overmatches on the beggar's trousers and noticed that the beggar's feet seemed delicate for one who should be used to a hard life. The major approached and exclaimed: "Sprechen sie Deutsch?" ("Do you speak Ger- man?") "Ja," the beggar replied spon- taneously. He was arrested and confessed that he was a German spy who -.had been landed by parachute to report on the disposition of Soviet troops.'His accordeon concealed a Defiant Susie, year-old sun bear, snarls at the thoughtse. radio tiansmitter.

Three things are indicated about the suffering of the Smyrmist Church. Its me -i - bens were enduring tribulation. They were suffering poverty and there were the blasphemous de- nunciations of those who claimed to be Jesus but were not. Christ's Promise Three things our Lord said to the harassed Church. First, he knew all about their difficulties, not merely by watching but by his own experience; not alone by observing their suffering, but by having Himself passed through the same experience. In the second place, these people are promised not deliverance from persecution, but an increase of persecution that they might be further tested. Yet, our Lord said, "Fear none of these things. Be thou faithful unto death." Finally our Lord said that he that would remain faithful would nevi r_ seeseders4eatesSeer eseaaereeceet ;t death, which is eternal ;deafh.

Ontario Mines Supply Lignite Lignite May Be Great Bene- fit to Northern Ontario's Industrial Area .The Sudbury Star points out thalt: the people of Northern On- tario'are intensely interested in the results . of the tests that are being made of lignite as a fuel. They are anxious to see the product of the big fields north of Cochrane sup- plying the needs of the North country. This fuel has been tested in stationary furnaces, but the Tem - ,isle mingg_. and Northern Ontario -Railway for tl e `first time)ia's used It under tlik Tnbre exacting require- ments of railway locomotives. This test is not yet completed, and the results are being awaited with keen interest. If lignite can be fitted 'into Northern Ontarios in- dustrial and domestic fuel problem it will be a great benefit to that area. It may take much additional ex- .)berimental work, but it is encour- ;hging to know that the experts 'Who are working on the problem express the opinion that lignite will come into its own, not only in k,Northern Ontario, but in the prov- c:'`ince as a whole. If the experi- ments prove satisfactory, lignite will be added to the list of Nor- "' thern Ontarios mining products. The Stuff That Makes Diamonds A diamond is composea of the .same material as lamp -black, soot or pencil "lead," but the molecular 'structure is different. Diamonds will disappear upon burning, will break if they are dropped on a hard surface, yet are strong enough to wear away two emery wheels a foot and a half in diameter and an inch in thickness before showing any wear. The only thing that will cut a diamond is a diamond itself. The largest known diamond, the Cullinan, weighed one and one- third pounds and was sent from Africa to England as a present to the British Crown by ordinary registered postage. Over $6,000,000 worth of black carbonadoes and bortz chipped daimonds ole used annually by the United States and Canada in the production of defense ma- terials. More Women Must Register Britain's Manpower Cannot Satisfy Her Requirements Ralph Assheton, parliamentary secretary to the British Labor Ministry, indicated last week that a firmer policy would .be establish- ed to mobilize women for waxwork, with the government using com- pulsory powers if necessary. Opening the Women's Services Recruiting Exhibition, he announe• ed that all women up to thirty would be required to register with. in the next four months, "We have not only reached the Point when there is not surplus manpower available but we have reached the point where it is be- coming very difficult to satisfy all our important needs," he said. Mr. Assheton declared the choice of occupations will be more re• striated and that older women will be required to come forward to re- place younger and more mobile wo• men who will be transferred else. where. The Motor Plant Old and Modern Orville Wright gazed down the vast new motor plant at Cincin- nati, so big that eight baseball games could be played In it at once, and his thoughts must have turned to the little bicycle shop in which he and his brother Wil• bur built their first plane. It was only 38 years ago. They built their motor by hand, a clumsy affair of 25-30 horsepower. The new engine plant will turn out 1,000 motors a month of 1,700 horsepower apiece. People talk of the speed with which life is changing. Here, in much less than one man's whole lifetime, the whole matter stands clearly revealed. The flimsy little pusher plane flown by Wright at Kitty Hawk in 1903 has become a colossus which, turned to a de- structive use of which Wright never dreamed then, now bestrides the world, the master for good or evil, Many Garments For Great Britain C. A, Scott, Acting Oversees Director of the Canadian Red Cross, announced 'on his arrival in Toronto from Great Britain that more than 3,000,000 gar- ments have been distributed to persons in Britain by the Red Cross. Col. Scott said that the goods are uploaded as soon as they ar- rive overseas and are shipped to 12 key centres for distribution to cities where casualties and se- vere damage have resulted from Nazi air raids.
