The words from Matthew were spoken in February or March, A.D. 30; the conversion of Zac- chaeus took place in March, A.D. 20; the cleansing of the temple oc- curred on Mol_day, April 3, of the same year; and the parable of this lesson was given on the following day, Tuesday. Place. — The Ten Command- ments were given from Mount Sin- ai; the interview with the rich young man took place in Peraea on the eastern side of the Jordan River• the conversion of Zac- chaeus occurred in the city of Jericho near the Jordan River op- posite the city of Jerusalem; the scene of the temple -cleansing of course was in Jerusalem; and the parable of this lesson formed a past of our Lord's teaching in the same city during his last week on earth. Mosque Planned For Edmonton Place of Worship for Canadian Moslems Is Being Built Less Than A Mile from Centre of Alberta Capital Opening of a mosque where sons of Allah may pray barefooted in their accustomed style is scheduled in Edmonton for this month, mid- way in the period of the year which Moslems the world over de- vote to solemn fasting. The mosque, first in Canada, is less than a mile from the heart of the city. It is a one -storey build- ing, with a central dome, two min- arets, a paved court and a full sized basement. Its dimensions will be 30 by 50 feet. Of 2,000 Moslems in Canada, approximately 500 live in Western Canada with 350 in Alberta and 40 families in Edmonton.

The penalties for stealing are found in Ex. 21: 16 and 22: 1. The Eighth Commandment is necessary to protect society not merely against the violence of the burglar and the craft of the im- poster, but also against the deceit- fulness of our own hearts, asking, What harm is in the evasion of an impost? Why should I not do jus- tice to myself when law refuses it? On every one of its sacred pages the Bible endeavors to shift the centre of gravity of man's nature from selfishness to love, from man to God, from time to eternity, from earth to heaven. The lesson of the Eighth Commandment is the lesson of Christ, "Set your affections on things above". Zaccheus Luke 19: 1-10. 1. And he en- tered and was passing through Jericho. 2. And behold, a. man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich. Jericho was a very ancient city and a very wicked city. It was on the frontier of Palestine, and through it much trade was compelled to pass, necessitating the residence here of a tax-col- lector. axcol- lector. Zacchaeus was not only a tax -collector, but he was the chief tax -collector of that community. Among the Romans the tax -gath- erer bought the privilege of gath- ering. He paid a large sum for the office; and the taxes were his own. Thus the more he gathered, the more he gained. There was great temptation here to extortion and oppression. 3. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of statu:.e. 4. And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. Zacchaeus down in his heart knew he was dishon- est and a thief. Of course he knew he was out of all com- munion with God. It was the hunger of his heart for the things that satisfy that made him run on before the Lord and climb up into this sycamore tree. The Tax -Collector 5. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto himy Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house. 6. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. Note the eagerness, the joyfulness, the ear- nestness, which marked every move of Zacchaeus that day. Jesus never forces anyone to accept him. Henever drags anyone into the kingdom of God. '7. And when they saw it, they .all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner. 8. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrong- fully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold. 9: And Jesus said unto hint, To -day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10. For the Son of man carne 'to seek and to save that which was lost. In offering to restore fourfold all he had falsely taken he meets the extreme penalty imposed by the law on a than who was being compelled to make reparation (Ex. 22: 1; 2 Sam. 12: 6). Luke 19: 45, 46. 45. And he en- tered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, 46, ;ay- ing unto them, It is written, And my house shall be 'a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers. This is the second pur- ificittion of the temple on the part LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred .Neper • The effect of the heating equipment in a school room on the health and comfort of the oc- cupants depends on three factors, namely, a sensible temperature, humidity, and purity of the air. Exchange teachers from the , British Isles comment freely on the higher temperature maintained in Ontario classrooms. Recom- mended Fahrenheit temperature for a workshop varies from 60 de- grees to 64 degrees. For an audi- torium it is 66 degrees and for a regular classroom it is 68 degrees. Tests have been made to ascertain the effect of increased tempra- turs. The weight of evidence in- dicates that the vitality of an aver- age individual is depressed quick- ly for shall increases in tempera- ture. Are our Ontario pupils los- ing out when they carryon their work in classrooms where the tem- perature is seldom under 70 de- grees and often reaches 74 de- grees? Real consideration of this problem should be undertaken by Ontario teachers, principals and caretakers. The Right Temperature Too often our pupils are slight- ly chilly when the temperature is maintained at 68 degrees. Air that is too dry causes excessive and rapid evaporation of moisture from exposed portions of the body thus causing the pupils to become chilled. If the humidifying ap- paratus of a school is inefficient or lacking in capacity, makeshift humidifiers should be installed in each room and given proper atten- tion by the teacher and caretaker to insure sufficient moisture in the air. The savings in fuel costs and the increased efficiency of the pu- pils will warrant any financial out- lay necessary to purchase auxil- iary humidifiers like those in con- stant use in private homes. Hot dry air affects the membranes of the nose and throat causing much discomfort and many irritating and dangerous coughs and colds. Many fairly new schools have a combination heating ventilating system supplying washed humidi- fied air. The main sources of heat are thermostatically controlled steam radiators but these dn many cases prove to be rather unsatis- factory. To meet the requirements of school ventilation regulations, the air is changed by forced draft.

Proper Ventilation The most recent developments feature individual units for each room. Outside air may be intro- duced, filtered, heated and spread throughout the room. Inside air may be reheated and recirculated. Each unit is supplied with ther- mostatic controls that operate dampers and an electric driven fan. Each teacher should make a thorough study of the plant in his school and assist the caretakers in• onaintaining the existing plant at its greatest efficiency. of Jesus. The first one is record- ed in John 2: 13-17. The passage quoted by our Lord is found in Isa. 56: 7. See also Jer. 7: 11. What our Lord here is fiercely condemning i the dragging of the business of the world into the precincts of a holy place dedicated to worship and prayer and sacri- fice and praise. The chief competitors in the supply of blueberries from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Que- bec to the New York market are the states of Maine and Massachu- setts. Book Reading Is A Vital Action Psychologist Challenges Statement That it is But a Substitute for Real Living Challenging the philosophy that "reading is but a substitute ac- tivity," Dr. Alice Bryan, psycho- logist of Columbia University and Pratt Institute, asserts "the read- ing of books or other printed ma- terial may be just as real and vital an experience as playing a game of tennis, building a radio, paint- ing a picture, or marching in a parade." The relative stimulus value of activities depends upon the capac- ity of the individual to adjust them'to his own previous and fu- ture experienecs, she added. `acre You Listening By FREDDIE TEE SHE TOOK A DARE Glamorous Templeton Fox broke into radio as the result of taking a dare, and made her debut before the microphone singing in a contest sponsored by a famous hotel in Hollywood. Featured as a singer on West Coast programs, she stopped off in Chicago en route to the East and a stage car- eer, and became a dramatic ac- tress after one audition. She is starring now in the new CBS dra- matic serial, "This Day Is Ours," a thrill - packed story of romance in the setting of the Chinese -Jap- anese conflict. Miss Fox plays the part of a mis- sionary's daugh- ter opposite Jay Jostyn, noted radio actor., who portrays a mys- terious American newspaper r e - ni porter. The ser- ies is heard each Templeton Fox Monday through Friday over a WABC - CBS network from 1.45 to 2.00 pan. EST. COMPLIMENTS Although the organ melodies of Dr. Charles M. Courboin, Mutual's distinguished Belgian console ar- tist who plays at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, have been short -waved from WIXAL, Boston, to the world beyond the oceans for only a few weeks now, letters from music lovers are pouring in with many strange Postmarks. Mail just arrived on the giant Queen Mary reports that Ancient Chinese Ruler's Proverbs "To depend upon others le as difiieult as if you were ascending to the ninth heaven." This is just one of the maxims of a famous Chinese ruler, Li Kew Ngoh, who lived more than 400 years ago, They were recently read to a Singapore audience by a Malayan -born Chinese whose fam- ily has guarded the ruler's advice from generation to generation. On the whole, they chow that human nature doesn't change much, For example; "To seek financial aid from anyone is like swallowing a three- foot sword." "Poor man should not call en rich relatives, for they will not be welcomed and treated as rela- tives." "Work hard on the land and you will be prosperous." "Many a person blames his parents for not leaving him a big fortune, not realising that his use- lessness as a. son accounts for his continued poverty and thus not being able to shed honor to his parents." "Many a son has amassed a for- tune due to his diligence, persev- erance and efforts although his parents died penniless." "Many big fortunes left by rich parents have been squandered by prodigal sons." Prince Charles of Belgium, broth- er of King Leopold who bestowed knighthood on Dr, Courboin last spring, was among the thousands of Europeans listening at faraway loud speakers.
