Rev R 13 Warren, B.A. B.fD Problems of the Christian Conscience (Temperance Lesson) 1 Corinthians 8;7.13; 6:18-20 • Memory Selection: If treat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make nry brother to offend. 1 Cor. 8:13. Paul was addressing people who had been delivered from paganism. Some felt they could eat of the meat dedicated to idols without any harm to themselves They would have no conscious- ness of the idol, But other weaker ones were troubled when they saw their fellow Christians in the idol's temple, Paul made his great appeal, "Through t h y knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethern and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ." Some argue that there is no harm in drinking liquor as long as you don't get drunk. (Drunk- enness is one of the things of things which it is said, "They which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Gal. 5:12). But what is drunken- ness? The experts demonstrate that a very small amount of al- cohol affects the brain. The indi- vidual is "impaired" though not "drunk" as that term is usually understood. The committee arranging the Sunday School lessons did well to include Paul's statement on fornication in this temperance lesson. It was a live issue in the wicked seaport city of Corinth. History, biblical and profane, il- lustrates the point that a drink or two increases the possibility of fornication. The brakes don't work so well. Inhibitions and moral restraints lose their effect and the individual more readily yields to the lust of the flesh. If one may trust the findings of surveys, about three quarters of young- men and half of the young women indulge in this sin before marriage. What an in- dictment against our civilization. How dare we call it Christian? No wonder so many marriages founder. We need a revival of old-fashioned Bible religion. 17m, GREEN THUMB •.

One should take hope from the fact• that one thorough weeding will bring the situation well under control. But this means pulling the weeds out by the roots or cutting them off be- low the soil's surface with a cul- tivator or hoe. This first and thorough job is carrieel out after the newly seeded flowers and vegetables are nicely up, say with their second or third set of leaves well started. Once that first clean-up has been carried out, a little routine cultivation will take care Of the garden for the rest of the season. Garden Paths No natter how small the gar- den there will be the problem of paths. Instead of being an eye- sore, these can be made into an attractive feature of the lawn or flower plots or even the vege- table patch. Where traffic is usu- ally concentrated such as near the door or a gate, it is advisable to use some solid material like flagstones, concrete slabs, bricks, Safety Demonstration -Sgt. Charles F. Pearsall, Director of Toronto Traffic Safety Council, conducts a class in safety regulations. These students are preparing to enter this year's Traffic and Safety Quiz at the Canadian National Exhibition. The Quiz is open to school students up to the age of 16 years, and there will, of course, be cash prizes for the winners. This is an opportunity for students to earn a little extra money and at the same time help make this a safer country where children may run and play at home and at school, For details of this cornpetition send a request to the Canadian National Exhibition. A copy of the prize list with entry forms will be mailed out free of charge. The envelope should be marked "Women's Division." cinder or gravel. With any of these the main thing is to place firmly and level with or just slightly above the surrounding grass, so that the lawn mower will trim or even run right over easily. Where the traffic is light- er, one can simply use grass for the strip of well grown, well fed and tough grass. It is surprising the amount of wear this will give. In lots of public gardens grass paths are used to divide the flower plots and they are seldom worn thin. Where cin- der or gravel is used in paths or driveways one can eliminate grass and weeds by sprinkling heavily with rock salt or treating with some of the weed sprays. Hints ' Experienced gardeners have all sorts of little tricks that will add to the interest and satisfaction of gardening. One of the oldest is to soak seed before planting. This applies especially to vege- table seeds like peas, beans, beets and lettuce. By soaking for a very few hours just before planting, germination is hastened and sev- eral days are saved. With -carrots and beets it will help to prepare. the rows with special care, dig'. ding out the poor or hard soil to a depth of 'six inches or a foot, and filling with rich soil with plenty of humus and manure, In such the seeds will germinate quickly and the young vegetables grow without being crowded. Because this special soil is very open there will be less need for thinning and the roots will grow straight. With melons, cucumbers and squash we usually sow in specially rich hills with some old rotten manure if we can find it. With all bedding plants, it is a good plan to pinch base after transplanting, and especially to remove any flowers or buds. This pinching encourages stouter and healthier growth and in the, end we get much hardier and bigger blooms. Transplanting If there is any secret about successful transplanting, the an- swer is plenty of moisture. Under normal conditions it is quite pos- sible to water too often, if not too much, and a hose in the hands of the careless is not al- ways an unmixed blessing. But in transplanting some extra wat- ering is almost vital. In this bus- iness it is important to take as much soil with the plant or shrub as possible so that the fine CROSSWORD 7. (Tait etn 30.

These worries are normal, but many of them are unnecessary. For example: There is a soft spot, called the fontanel, on top of a baby's head and. many moth- ers fear they will injure their baby if this spot is touched or pressed. The fontanel is tougher than you think and no harm; will come to the well-nourish- ed infant, handled in the ordin- ary way. New mothers worry because their baby's eyes move inde-i pendently of each other. ibis is. normal' and .occurs because the muscles. that control a baby's eyes are still weak. However, as the muscles get stronger this defect disappears. A true cross eye is much more noticeable and does not disappear. If a baby's eyes don't line up properly at the age of a year, an eye spe- cialist should be consulted. You may think there is some- thing wrong because your baby's legs look "bowed." All new babies' legs look this way be- cause they "tuck them up" be- fore they are born. A baby still' does this when he is asleep or relaxed; his knees bend out and the soles of his feet face each other. His legs will straighten out as his muscles grow stronger. Another new -another worry is a baby's flat feet. This too, is normal, because a baby is born with a built-in arch support. This pad of fat makes his feet look flat. It will disappear as he grows and his arches gets strong enough to support him without this aid. Spitting up is another mater- nal disturber; something most new babies do. And it doesn't really mean anything and it doesn't matter either if the milk he spits up is sour: stomach juices makes it this way. If baby vomits a large amount it really alarms a mother but this is not serious if the baby is otherwise well and happy, However, if he continues to vomit large amounts each day, your doctor should be consulted. A mother worries when her baby hiccups, while 'the baby is placid about it. Hiccups just seem to be necessary to a um baby. Me hiccups if he eats too fast, eats too much, if he swal- lows air. The thing to do for hiccups is to give him some warm water. Trust yourself and have fun with your baby; your common sense won't lead you astray. When you are worried consult your doctor. .IOIUNNT W'T PLAY WITH OTHER CHII,D1tll;N: "My :tour -year old Johnny won't inlay with other children He tags after me the whole day wanting me to amuse him, I've told him I had work to do and roots are not brae en or disturb- ed. Then the roots must b.' cov- ered firmly with good, line soil and dampened down with water. I1• tilt: 000 is lint it is atr'nd to shade for a lc.w ilour;. Better still, transplant in the coo; eve - I've tried definite play periods without success. What would you suggest .t do now?" asks Mrs. 3. T. Why not let Johnny help you - with your housework? He could dry silver, scrub potatoes, empty ash trays and waste baskets, Thank him and praise him for his help. Buy him a toy tele- phone that rings when dialled and have hint 'phone to you from his other -room "office." You'll perhaps learn what is worry- ing or frightening him, if you listen to what he has to say. In a few days try playing school with him. You be the teacher and as you go about your work Johnny can sit at his desk. In this way you can talk to one another while ;Tollilny does things for himself. Soon you can invite another child to your school. Perhaps in a couple of days, if Johnny is happy with the other child, your pupils can play "recess" on the porch or in the yard. Don't try to rush things and don't lose interest in John- ny's doings nor leave him on his own too long. You don't want to get him upset again. Most likely Johnny's first recesses will be short. However, when he realizes that you are inside working and that he can see you or call to you he'll play longer. Don't scold, punish or call him 'fraidiy cat or sissy if he won't stay out with the chil- dren very long and don't dis- cuss this problem when Johnny is with you or can hear you. Try these suggestions and it Johnny doesn't respond, you shoulcl consult your doctor. In- cidently, have you been "sneak- ing out" on Johnny or leaving hire often with strange sitters? Or perhaps he's not eating enough of the. right foods or gets enough sleep. Of course, some four -year-olds go through a clinging -to -mother stage which may last two or three months.
