We had little more to put up with than a certain amount of inconvenience and unpieasanmess. Friday night the power was off in toFu but ours was still on. But yc.0 can be quite sure we had candles ready just in case. Saturday morning . ah, that was. a difterent storyl The power went off, telephone went dead -and the kitchen stove smoked. Partner made one attempt to light the fire but the mind biew more smoke back into the room than it carried away. So we did without a fire. At that time the power was still on but we had a feeling it might give up the ghost at any time. With that possi- bility in mind I made coffee well ahead of time on the electric stove. Half an Hour before breakfast -off went the powverl Of course electric burners stay hot for a long time but even so the coffee would naturally be getting a little cooler all the time, "Well, what's a thermos for?" I said to myself. So I got out the thermos. Result -hot coffee for breakfast. We had boiled eggs too. I managed that by dropping the eggs into the cooling water and leaving until needed. On the whole it is rather fun, don't you think, just figuring out how to keep things on an even keel during an emer-• gency? Of course we still have an oilstove which I could have used but I didn't fancy the job of standing out in the back porch fixing the oiistove-not with a 70 mile, wind sifting in through the cracks and !snot -holes. r During the forenoon the wind be - game stronger than ever -and cold - or -shifting a little towards the Porth. But that was better for the kitchen stove so we tried lighting t>he fire again -and this time we were not smoked out. That gave me At chance to get dinner.

The telephone is still out although there have been linesmen working on it. The poles were blown down just below our place. It was certainly an awful wind. We wondered if the doors on the barn ank. driving shed would stand the strain, even with extra bracing. But they did -and so, except for a few shingles rip,)ed off the barn roof; some fences knocked around a bit; branches of trees strewn here and there, we really suffered very little damage from the storm at all. Need I say we are very thankful? I hope you people who read this column were equally fortunate. There is something very frighten- ing about a high wind, isn't there? You feel so powerless against it, and, except for information given out by the weather bureau, you never know how bad it will be; how long it will last; nor who, or what, will be hurt before it is over. Important plans are shaping up in the world today -of far greater im- portance than any freakish weather that comes our way -and yet how much more attention we give to the weather! It has even stolen the show from egg price discussions. Imagine that! One thing is certain -farmers may not he in the money these days, but they are certainly in the news. The outlook' for farmers generally is not particularly cheering just now. But this much we can remember to our comfort. Since the depression days of the '30's we have come a long way. Better prices since that time have given farmers a chance to sort of catch up with themselves. Mortgage, have been paid off; new machinery purchased; livestock built up and improved; tractors have taken the place of horses; modern. conveniences have been installed in many farm homes; and farmers, on the whole, are working shorter hours. Altogether the farm family's standard of living has been raised considerably -isn't that as it should be? Farmers in Canada are not peas- ants, many of them come from well educated families with a cultural background dating back many gen- erations. Men of this type farm be- cause they love the soil; they like working with and improving their livestock; growing things and being close to Nature. But very few of them are satisfied with a low stan- dard of living. Because of better prices things changed considerably during the last decade. If the pre- sent level can be maintained there is less danger of young people leav- ing the farm for jobr in the city. The average farm provides them with a better home, a better living - and plenty of entertainment, if they want to take advantage of it. If another depression should come our way -don't take it for granted that it will -but if it does we are at least better equipped to meet it than we were in the '30's. The higher standard of living which we have attained in the interim might well be regarded as an addition to our working capital.

Barclay Warren The First Gentile Church Acts 11: 19-26; 13: 1-3 Golden Text: And the disciples were called Christians first in. Antioch. Acts 11:26 Persecution is often a blessing. The believers at Jerusalem were compelled to scatter, but they took with them the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of their+ were natives of Cyprus and Cyrene and wvhen they reached Antioch, they "spake, unto the Greacians, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great ent with Christ's teaching, of genu- ine piety." If this were true of the approximately 98% of Canadians which the census calls Christians, °1 how much better a country this would be. A thriving church is not self- satisfied but has a missionary vision. This was the case at Antioch. "The Holy Ghost said, "Separate me, Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." Here was a Divine call, realized by the individuals called and by the other leaders in the church. General McArthur has been calling for mis- sionaries for Japan. The church is responding, but slowly. O that God would find many like Barnabas, filled with the Holy Ghost, who will leave comfort and ease, to carry the glorious Gospel to those who sit darkness. the Lord." Barnabas, who had presented Saul Cripps' Quip to the Apostles, was despatched to Antioch. He is described as "a good "Are profits immoral?"
