THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time The parable taken from
the Gospel of Matthew was spoken
en Tuesday, Apri1.4, A.D. 30. The
earlier reference from Luke's Gos-
pel falls, probably, in January,
A.D. 30, while the later reference
falls, perhaps, one month later.
The Second Epistle of Paul to the
Corinthians was written A.D. 60.
Place.—The parable from Matt-
hew's Gospel was spoken on the
Mount of Olives. The two passages
taken from Luke's Gospel were
uttered in Peraea. The Second
Epistle to the Corinthians was
., probably written from Philippi, to
the great city of Corinth, in
Greece.
1. "MYloreover, brethren, we make
known to you the grace of God
which hatla been given in the
eihurehes. of Macedonia; 2. how
that in much proof of affliction
the albundance of their joy and
their deep poverty abounded unto
the riches of their liberality. 3. For
according to their power, I bear
witness, yea and beyond their
power, they gave of their own ac-
cord, 4. ,,Beseeching us with much
entreaty in regard of this grace
and the fellowship in the min-
istering to the saints." Strange to
say it is not those to whom the
gopsel comes easily, and on whom
It imposes little, who are most
generous in its cause. On the con-
trary, it is those who have suf-
fered for it 'who are as a rule
most open-handed: Comfort makes
men selfish, even though they are
Christian; but if they are Chris-
tian, affliction, even to the spoil-
ing of .their goods, teaches them'
generosity.
True Liberality
5. "And this, not as we had
hoped, but first they gave their
own selves to the Lord, and to
us through the will of God. 6. In-
somuch that we exhorted Titus,
that as he had made a beginning
before, so he would also eomplete
in you this grace also." Christian
,bey ,s vweel>.,, eia,,..111lirxaadoa _....
of self to Christ, from which nec-
essarily follows the glad offering
of wealth. These Macedonians did
more than Paul had ]hoped, and
• the explanation of the unexpected
largeness of their contribution
was their yielding of themselves
to Jesus. That is the deepest
source of all true liberality.
7. "But as ye ahound in every-
thing, in faith, and utterance,°and
knowledge, and in earnestness,
and in your love to us, see that ye
abound in this grace also. 8. I
epeak not by way of command-
ment, but as proving through the
earnestness of others the sincer-
ity also of your love." The Corin-
thians had apparently made a def-
7nite promise that they would
give liberally for the poor in Jer-
usalem. But Paul somehow seems
to feel that they might be a little
forgetful about this promise, and
be tempted to be negligent in ful-
filling their vows, sohe encourag-
es them to go on and to do that
which they bad originally intended
to do.
Loving The Brethren
9. "For ye know the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your
sakes he became poor, that ye
through his poverty might become
rich." The Lord so far laid aside
the glory of his divine majesty,
that he was to all appearance a
man, and even a servant, so that
men refused to recognize him as
God, but despised, persecuted, and
at last crucified him, as a man.
It is by his poverty that we are
made rich. Unless he had submit-
ted to all the humiliation of his
incarnation and death, we should
forever have remained poor, des-
titute of all holiness, happiness
end glory. The apostle teaches
here that it is vain for man to
profess •or to imagine that he
loves Christ, if he does not love
the brethren and is not liberal in
relieving their wants.
6. "But this I say, He that sow-
eth, sparingly shall reap also spar-
ingly; and he that soweth bounti-
fully shall reap also bountifully."
We may learn that it is right to
present to men the divinely or-
dalned consequences of their ac-
tions as motives to control their
conduct. It is right to tell men
that obedience to God, devotion to
his glory and the good of others,
will effectually promote their owls
welfare.
The Cheerful Giver
7. "Let each man do according
as he hath purposed in his heart:
not grudgingly, or of necessity:
for God loveth a cheerful giver."
In the whole matter of Christian
giving nothing is ever to be done
"from grief" ;: no ono is to be eorry
shout letting anything pass out of
his hands, no one le ever to say:
"I am sorry I gave of gave re

Could Still Tote
A Wicked Pistol
Minister of Information Bren-
dan Bracken said recently that
when Premier Winston Churchill-
made
hurchill-made his last journey to France
in 1940 he took a pistol in hope of
getting "at least one German."
"As we walked down the stairs
together, with rain pelting out-
side he Churchill looked ex-
tremely grave," Bracken said.
"Suddenly he turned to his but-
ler and said, 'Get me my heavy
pistol.'
"I asked him why he wanted it.
"The Prime Minister replied:
"Well, if we, are attacked by the
enemy, I. may be able to account
for at least one German: "
much." Nothing is ever to be giv-
en from compulsion. Ever the feel-
ing is to be: "I am happy I gave,
I really should have given more."

Three Big C's
Spell Confusion
'The Cunningham brothels, and a
fellow named Coningharn' have
teamed up to make things hot for
the Axis in North Africa.,
The sudden new advai into;
Libya is being led by Lt.° Gen
Sim Alan Cunningham, 53-year-olde
professional soldier who is'rated
an expert in heavy artillery; anti-
aircraft, machineguns and
strangely, for an old army man
naval strategy.
- Out at sea, -Sir Alan's brother,
Admiral Sir Andrew- ,Cunningham,
as commander of the Mediterran-
ean fleet, has• been making, the
army job easier for ;anany months
past by his sudden swoops on

Wool to be Treated Scien-
tifically so That Moth Won't
Even Take a Nibble
The scientists in the National
Bureau of Standards have turned
their attention to wool, relates
The New York Times. Warm and
serviceable as it is, it has its draw-
backs. The larvae of moths de-
vour it. Molds grow orx it. Bac-
teria play havoc with it. Strong
soaps corrode it. Sunlight ages
it. Taken all in all, it presents
as many problems as an automo-
bile or an airplane. At the Bur-
eau of Stgn•dards all these seem
to have been solved at one fell
swoop by the simple expedient of
studying the structure of wool and
then treating it so that the larvae
of moths turn sick if they nibble
at it, bacteria die if they try to
get a foothold in it, and even some
..:soaps turn from it in a kind of
chemical horror.
A thread of wool is a chain of
molecules. Bend the chains and
they remain bent, which explains
creasing. , If the creases disap-
pear when a suit is hung up, it is
because the molecules are coiled
so that they eventually spring
back when bent or twisted. There
are also cross-claims. If a moth's
larvae or some chemicals 'eat
these, a piece of wool cloth simply
falls to pieces. So the problem
reduced itself to treating the cross
chains. •
Wool Made Indigestible
First the cross -chains were
broken down with chemicals, so
that they were in just as sad a
;condition as if they had been at-
tacked by a moth's larvae, But
when the broken ends were reun-
ited with the aid of other chem-
icals they were in better condi-
.tion than ever. Wool's fibres are
e' largely protein and therefore the
;chemical equivalent of beefsteak.
=1'I3ut the .protein in the cross-
eeh'ains is indigestible after It has
-'been thus doubly treated, with
result that it becomes so much
poison to the most ravenously
hungry. larvae. And so with
strong soaps. They have no lik-
ing for this transformed protein
—refuse to combine with it...
:Such feats would have been im-
possible fifty or more years ago.
The structure of organic mole-
cules had to be studied as -if they
'were houses, and ways had to be
found of changing that structure.
e So it happens that we have plas-
"'thcl eiernthetic vitamins, hormones,
rubbers. And now a successful
frustration of the moth. Away
with camphor, mothballs and tar-
paper bags. The wool of tomorrow
will be a Desert of Sahara to
e' anything that tries to live on it.
Cold In Russia''
Many German soldiers fighting
on the cold Russian front are
"rigged out with women's fur
clothing and other makeshifts,"
...an authoritative source 'declared
`'recently.
He said "very few Germans are
properly equipped for fighting in
the Russian winter" and they are
"suffering .terribly."

THE basilisk Is believed to be the only lizard capable of running
On water. This seemingly incredible feat is accomplished by the
speed with which the creature travels. Using its long tail as a rud-
der, the lizard skips itself across the water in much the same, way
that a rock is hurled along on the water surface. It doesn't have
time to sink.

SCOUTING ...
A party of 14 Boy !Scouts was
included ' among the evacuees
brought from Spitzbergen by the
Canadian army units which par-
ticipated in the historic raid on
that arctic island. The Spitzbergen
Scouts were given a warn wel-
come by brother Scottish Scouts
upon their arrival at a port in that
country.

Boy Scout Troops are now being
organized "among Australian "Ab-
original" blacks. An appeal in an
Australian Scouting magazine for
discarded Scout uniforms for these
native boys mentioned two new
Scout Troops sponsored by the
Australian Society for the Uplift
of Natives. It is believed that the
Scout training will provide a
means for raising the character
standard and abilities of the Ab-
originals, long regarded as the
world's most primitive human
type. The results already secured
in Scout training are regarded as
encouraging,

DIALING WITH DAVE;
Charlie McCarthy fixed Edgar
Bergen last week. He attended the
world's premiere of RIfO's "Look
Who's Laughing" at San Fran•
elsco, and was named Mayor for
the day by Mayor Rossi of the
Golden Gate City. Bergen and Lu-
cille Ball (love interest in pix)
which also stars Fibber McGee
and Molly, also attended the affair,
but all came out second best as
far es the public was concerned.
On his arrival at San Francisco,
Charlie and his supporting cast
were greeted by a special mayor's
breakfast party at which he was
given a wooden mallet and a key
to the city? Don't forget to watch

Shirley Temple is finally to do
a radio series, even though a brief
one. She started a four week
series on the CBS network Friday
night, Deo. 5th, in the spot usually
oocupied by 'Hollywood Premiere.'
Shirley will sing as well as act
in the show. Her radio series co-
incides nicely with the release of
her first picture in two years—
"Kathleen," over which the critics
are already raving. Seems like
La Temple is destined to a life of
success in the world of entertain-
