Adam and Eve had been put in the Garden, and they had to be pat out again. Only Noah's family had been saved out of the flood, and the (people had to be scattered from the tower of 'Babel. Everywhere people ,were forgetting God. They had forgotten God, and God wanted them to know Him and be like Him . Perhaps a new way would work. Glod decided to call one man to be the beginning of a new nation, and through that nation God would try to let the people know Him and become like Him. Abram was the name of the man God called. He lived in Ur of the C.halldees. His father's name was Terah, and he had a brother called 'Haran. ,Arbram's father was a good man. He knew that a man 'ought to wor- ship—so he went to the temple to worship the only god he knew—the god of Ur of the Chaldees. But the people of Ur of the Clhaldees had forgotten all about thee true God,. our God. They had built a very large temple on the highest hill they could find. Like a giant stairway it climbed the hillside, then high above the hilltop. On the roof there was a large plat- form, and in the middle of it, an al- tar. It was here that the priests of Ur came to study all night. They knew all the stars by name—and the changes. of the moon. It was here that the people of Ur came every morning, just as the sun began to lighten up the eastern sky. They would bow in earnest prayer until the sun peeped above •the hori- zon, then with a mighty shout they sang their praises to the Sun God, the fire :god! Terah took Abram there when he was only a very small boy. Inside the temple Abram heard the boys' choir sing their wonderful hymns. He learned them by heart . . . When- ever the moon changed there was a holiday for everybody, and they all went to the temple for a specially fine service. At these services, usu,al?y once a month, Abeam saw some man walk out of the congregation up to the place where the choir boys were, and taking one of the boys by the hand (it would be his own oldest son), he would go to the priest and the priest would take the boy's hand and lead him away up the stairway inside the temple. Up, up, up they would go until they came to the top, and then, pushing open a door, they would step out on the roof. The door closed and the lad never came back. While the people sang their praises, the priest made a human sacrifice to the fire god! Terah did not think this was right. IHe said s'ol Surely the people did not know the true God! So when it carne to be his turn to give his oldest son, Abram, for a sacrifice, Terah put his arm around his shoulders and declared he would riot do it. The people of Ur were angry, but Terah was determined; and Abram grew to be a .man. He was married to a young woman ,called Sarah; his bro- ther was married too, and had a lit- tle boy named Lot.

He also admlitted tlhat the bad never liked college and failed his exams miser- ably. "Ah, now you're getting around to my favorite subject," said the judge happily. "Why did you fail?" The reporter said that at that time he :had wanted to quite college and work for a newspaper. Each Child Individual "I've always claimed that each child is an individual from the time it's born and parents should realize this," the judge said as he attacked his lilver and bacon. "Parents al- ways try to give their children the opportunities that they lacked them- selves: It's very laudable but it doesn't always work cut. There's too much mollycoddling. Young peo- ple should Ibe :out on their own more.' "Do you mean that people haven't got as much spirit as they had in the early days," the Journal asked. "That's something like it," Judge Jackson answered."I remember that when I came through Winnipeg on my way west for the first time I heard that an old class mate of mine from Osgoode Hall was in town. He v. a.s right on his uppers and was playing pool for a living. I honest- ly think that the sight 'of me going out to make a living for myself en- eauraged hilm because he soon fol- lowed me west and now he's a very su eessful maria His ` family had plenty of money and they'd spoiled hint to some extent. "Se me people are supersensitive," continued the judge quoting from his vast personal experience. "I halve my own 'Horatio Alger story down in Lethbridge.

He worked hard at it but he had a•mibitibns to be a chef and when. they sent, him washing dishes he got the idea that people were against him and he gave notice. I went out there and told .hint/ that he just couldn't quit. I 'old him that he was letting me down ,badly—he stuck it out. Must Fight "These supersensitive people have got to fight things out," the judge counselled. "But remember we all reach a cor- ner that serparatls the honest man from the way of crime. If you take the wrong corner you'll find that it's a long way 'back: It wasn't till I sat on the bench that I realized how ser- ious Oliver 'Goldsmith was when he wrote those lines, 'There, but for the grace of God, goes Oliver Goldsmith.' Really brilliant men come very close to that precarious corner. There were dozens of things that happened to Goldsmith that could have started him en a criminal career," he add- ed. - "SDo you like the newspaper busi- ness?" the judge asked. "Many suc- cessful men in this country have been reporters .a;t, some stage of the game. I was once assistant sports, editor 'of the Toronto Mail and Empire for three months and I quit of my own violition." "Good-bye," said the judge, giving the reporter's hand a friendly squeeze that left it limp and mangled. "And good luck," he called after the newsman who was hurrying back to his office desk. Former Resident Addresses Owen Sound Rotarians (Continued from Page 1) 'Mr. Hinchley showed how a dis- covery by an astronomer can later have practical value. The element helium was discovered in the sun in LS65, fifty years before it was found on the earth. By means of an in- strument known as the spectroscope it is possible to identify an element at any distance by merely letting the l'eht of that element shine through the instruinrent. for each element I es a set of lines—one for iron, another` for gold, copper and so on. In the sun were found by means of the spectroscope most of the lines; that compose the earth—one of the reasons for believing the earth and sun have a common origin. One set of lines could not be identified until helium was identified. It has suc- ces.4fully supplanted hydrogen in fill- ing lighter -than -air craft — being lighter and non -inflammable. Then Mr. Hinchley described the vast distances which separated the planets and how these spaces could be accurately estimated by mathe- matical calculation. He told some- thing of imip'ortant discoveries of 'astronomers down through the years. "Perhaps the greatest importance to us of astronomy is that it teaches us humility," said the speaker. "When we consider that the earth as ` we know it is only a speck of dust com- pared to the universe, only one of the smaller planets revolving ,around one of the lesser sun;•, of which there are millions, we have a greater ap- preciation of how utterly insignifi- cant our own lives are." Mr. A. F. Armstrong thanked Mr. Hinchley on behalf of the club for his :very informative address. Damage By Moths Can Be . Heavy in Winter Under the 'impression that meths commit their depredations in the spring and summer months only, 'many people display little care in putting away their summer clothes for the winter. As matter of fact, moths may be found in heated mod- ern buildings all the year round. Pre- vention is better than cure; therefore it is necessary to use the same care in packing up summer clothing in the fall as•,is bestowed nn winrter clothes ir...•t>he spring. Moths themselves do `r.o harm, except that they lay eggs and when the eggs hatch into larvae, or caterpillars, feeding, otherwise damage, eminences at once. As the young 'larvae are very sensitive to light, they seek out proteetd situa- tions in the folds. of furs or woollen garments, or in the interior of up- ,holsiterl,d; furniture, Summer gar- ments before 'being laid by for the winrter should be thoroughly brushed, beaten, and shaken, preferably in strong sunlight.

Harrow Laying Contest The Western Ontario laying con- test at Harrow, Ont., which began on October 3, a month earlier than the other contests throughout the Do- minion, has got off with a good start. There are 12 pens of Barred Rocks. 5 of White Leghorns and 5 of White Plymouth Rocks in the contest. In the first four weeks these 220 birds laid 2,023 eggs large enough to count, making 1712,6 points. Sixty-three eggs were under 20 ounces per doz- en in the fourth week and were not counted. The first week there were 152 such eggs; the second week, 115; the third, 95. So the improvement in size and weight is noticeable. Num - her of eggs also is improving; first week, 330 were laid; second week, 480; third weeks, 563•; fourth week, 650. The average percentage has, of course, increased accordingly. The leading pen at the close of the fourth week were Barred Rocks, owned by Hugh C. Elliott. Galt, Ont., a well- known contestant who held second place in the contest which closed at the end of September. His pen scor- ed 211 points with 218 eggs at the end of the four week period.

Record: " Loses Eyesight Friends of Mr. Charles Fahner. of Crediton, who for some months has been employed in a lumber camp at Nicholson in Northern Ontario, will regret to know that through an un- fortunate accident he has lost the sight of both eyes and is at present in a Toronto Hospital. Mr. Fahner was in the act of slaking lime for whitewashing when a limestone ex- ploded the lime striking him in the eyes and under the chin. Suffering intensely, Mr. Fahner was taken a distance of 200 miles by wagon and boat requiring 50 hours, to Chap- leau, where he received medical at- tention. From there he was removed bo the General Hospital in Toronto where it was necessary to remove both eyes. MTs. Fahner and daugh- ter, Ilene, and Rev. A. E. 'Meech motored to Toronto on Saturday.

Canadians To Compete In -International Show 'Farmers from both Eastern and Western Canada will again compete with farmers from all parts of the United States and other countries at the 36th annual International Live Stock Exposition and the 17th Inter- nati'onal Grain and Hay Show, which opens in Chicago on Saturday, Nov. Nth and Icontirtlues until Saturday night, December 7th. More than 12,- 000 head of live stock and 5,000 ex- hibits of grains and seeds have been entered. Ever since the Live Stock Exposi- tion and the Grain and Hay Show were inaugurated Canadians have each year carried off some of the most coveted awards. Last year at the close of the two events the Do- minion had to its credit a total of 17 championships, 17 reserve ehampion- ships, 66 first prizes and nearly 500 other prizes. Nine of the champion- ships were for grains and seeds, eight for live stook;, nine of the re- serve championships were for live stock and eight for grains and seeds.

The wheat estimate is reduced from 290,541,000 bushels to 273.071,000 bushels and is now be- low the 1934 production of 275,849,000 bushels. Oats were lowered nearly 33 million bushels, of 7.3 per cent, to 416.369,000 bushels, but still remain well above the 1934 production (321,- 120,000 bushels). Most of the re- duction was due to frost damage in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The bar- ley estimate is lowered by 7 million bushels to 87,512,000 bushels, com- pared with 63,742,000 in 193.4. Rye and flaxseed, though well above the 1934 figures, are also reduced signifi- cantly in the second estimate as threshing returns failed to support the pre -harvest: eetima.es. In the second crop estimate, rye is 10,610,- 000 bushels (5,423,000 bushels in 1934), and flaxseed 1.433,000 bushels as against 010,409 husho'.s in 193.4. hir A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ANO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA MOUTH AND SKIN The specific cause of cancer is not known. Chronic irritation of all kinds acts as an exciting or predis- posing factor in cancer.. The detec- tion and elimination of chroni,: irri- tation prevent the cancers to which the chronic irritation might give rise. Certain diseases are peculiar to humane; others are practically limit- ed to animals, seldom if ever attack- ing man. It appears that all human beings are susceptible to cancer, a disease that is found also in birds, animals and fishes. .Cancer on the surface or in the accessible parts of the body should be the easiest to prevent. Cancer of the lip, tongue, or other parts of the niouth is nearly always :preceded by some chronic irritation of the part, due to broken, teeth, ill-fitting den- tures, infected gums, or the germ of syphilis. Cancer seldom. if ever, develops in a clean healthy mouth. Every year in 'Canada several hundreds of indi- viduals, mostly men, die from cancer of the mouth and throat. Many of these deaths would have been pre- vented by the proper treatment of syphilis, and by adequate dental care to keep the teeth and guns healthy. The prompt treatment of any kind of sores which does not heal and stay healed, either on the lip or inthe mouth, is ressen.liallly a prelventive measure because it removes what may be .a pre -cancerous condition. Carelessness and ignorance are re- sponsible for most deaths from can- cer of the skin. This form of cancer ordinarily occurs in older persons, but it may be found at an early stage. Warts which slowly increase in size, sometimes with pigmentation, tend to became cancerous. Pigmented moles should be regarded with suspicion. Any skin defect which may have ex- isted for weeks or months and which begins to change its character, should be investigated as it may be changing into a cancerous condition.

Stuffing the Holiday Roast "Be sure to make a lot of stuffing" is often the last warning to the cook when holiday meals are being plan- ned. At this time of year then, not9t- ing is •mlore welcome than good stuf- fing recipes. For, isn't the roast -- game, fish, fowl or joint—the first thought in our traditional feasts and stuffings are important. There are really two schools of thought on this subject. In some regions the rich, dry stuffing is Con- sidered perfect; in others, the moist one. There is some difference of opinion, too, as to seasonings. In whatever way tradition settles the matter. there are still some varia- tions from the basic recipe which may be made either to adapt the stuffing to the particular kind of neat, or to add an element of sur- prise in the meal. Here is a bran stuffing recipe with is odifications for several types of meat. The recipe is for the drykind but can be changed easily to make ;he other type. Simply let the bread (ru•niibs soak in water or milk for a few minutes; then drain and press the excess liquid from the crumbs and proceed with the recipe as given.

More towels are needed for the bathroom, and the kitchen floor could certainly stand a coat of paint. The children need shoes. The car will soon need tires. Well, we buy a hundred new things every year. Scattered throughout Canada are manufacturers who make the very things we need. Their products are' on sale in certain stores within easy reach. Certain of these products, and certain of these stores, are especially fitted to take care of our special need. But which products and which stores? Which can we af- ford,.and which do we think is bet? We must look to advertising for advice. Advertising is the straight line between supply and demand. It saves time spent in haphazard shopping. It leads you directly to your goal. By reading the advertisements, we can determine in advance where the best values are to be found. With the aid of advertising, shopping becomes a simple and pleasant business, and budget figures bring more smiles than frowns. • From the pages of this paper you can make up a shopping list that will save you money.
