To us this Sunday is eventful—
It marks the first Sunday of out,
Darby and Joan existence; it is the
last Sunday of the year on which
we enjoy (?) daylight saving time,
and it is Partner's birthday. It is
also a very restful Sunday after a
decidedly hectic week. What with
one thing and another we had late
nights and extra busy days all last
week so we don't mind a quiet day
at all. Not that we expected i_ to be
quiet — Partner's brother and his
wife from Niattawa were supposed
to arrive but something upset their
plans so the visit has been postpon-
ed.:Another brother, living in Tor-
onto, left for England last Thurs-
day, so, with Bob away up north
the Clarke family seems to be on
the move. Except us—as long as
there are coins to look after I guess
this family stays pretty well put.

CHANGE YOUR TACTICS
x` Since your daughter is so de-

too. Treat him with regard, draw

and his other interests and open-
ly admire what qualities you can.
And so convince her that you and

'r* Arrange too, to have your

times when Ise is there and en-
courage her to take him to call

LESSON
13 Rev. R. B. Warren, B,A., B.D.
The Stewardship of the Gospel
Acts 8:4-8; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20;
Philippians 1:12-18
Memory Verse: Let a man so
account -of us, as of the ministers of
Christ, and stewards of the mys-
teries of God. Moreover it is re-
quired in stewards, that a man be
found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.
A young professing Christian on
returning from a winter in the Juin-
ber camp was asked, "Did the fel-
lows tease you at all about being
a Christian?" "Not at all," replied
the young man, "they never found
out I was one." The comment may
be added, "Neither he was." The
marl: of a Christian is that die wants
to share the good news with others,
To see others find Jesus Christ as
their personal Saviour greatly in-
creases their own joy. Philip, a dea-
con its the church, realized that he
was a steward of the Gospel. When
the persecution at Jerusalem served
tc, scatter the Christians and send
them everywhere preaching the
Gospel, he went to Sanla.ria, Un-
clean spirits were cast out and there
were malty miraculous healings,
"Th ere was great joy in that city."
11-e have great responsibility.
Patel said, "bite are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God did be-
seech you by its: we pray you in
Christ's stead, he Ye reconciled to
God." What an intense relatioat-
ship!
Irl the last part of the lesson Paul
is writing from Rome. He is a
prisoner. But he uses the oppor-
tunity to witness it, the palace and
other places. Son1e of Caesar's
110usellold are converted. Other
Christians become much more bold
to preach Christ. Nr says that
'the things which happened to me
have fallen out rather unto the in,--
therance of the Gosincl," yes, the
Gospel must go on. Though some
of its messengers are persecuted
and imprisoned, they must still pub-
ish the Glad Tidings. Others must
double their efforts. We are stew-
rds of the Gospel. We are only
aithattl as we let others know tlt;ti
esus Christ call save them too,
