As the angels sang over Bethlehem it would seem that Christmas
was the dropping of a song out of Heaven that we mignt catch thehomes,key note and make music in our lives and in our hoes, It is natural
to associate Christ with home, the sweetest and tenderest of all 1•ela-
tionships, for the manger and the swaddling clothes the new born
infant and the mother, all these speakto us of hone. How deeply
Jesus was influew ed by his home is apparent to every reader of the
gospels. Through all his life the music of home rings like a sweet
refrain. The first miracle he ever 'wrought was in a home and at a
marriage feast. The most beautiful parable he ever uttered was about
a ,sun who was a prodigal. Tho Melody of home was born not in
home but in that lowly hoe at Nazareth, it was an old fashioned
home and very humble but Jesus was never ashamed of it like some
of the eons and daughters of today. It was a home of sweet simple
piety and it influenced his whole life.
We too acknowledge the sweet and sacred influence of homes. No
matter how far awe" our basks may take us, we ail like to go back to
the old home for Christmas to open our presents around the Christmas
tree or by the fireside to unite our volces'in singing those Christmas
,carols that were, so dear to us in childhood days. May it ever be so,
home the horo holds the key to the solution of all our prob;ems, where
the home influent()is pure and 'wholesome the family Is safe, but
when any of the family go astray in most cases it is, because they had
little or no home training,
. ILet us not forget the signllleanco of Christmas. It is not a mere
holiday but a sacred festival which touches our home life as nothing
else does. Our gifts to our friends remind us all of God's great gift
to fallen man. The birthday of our Saviour is the one time In the
year when' we have the time and the impulse to be kind and God's.
great sacrifice teaches us the grace of liberality.
Wfhile hang the Star in midnight air,'
.The sons of all' the earth kneel there,
Forgotten, cares end woes and strife,
Forgotten, all the ills of lite:
The Star has thrilled the souls of them
And wrought the spell of Bethlehem.
A Merry ChristmasTo All Our Readers.

'Flax Mill To e Operating'Saturday's Draw Was Well
By Middle Of January
Machinery DIfliculties Expected
To Be Cleared Up.
Clearing up of machinery delays in
the Gordon Flax \fills are anticipated{
very shortly, and indications, that
the 111ilis will bo in full operation by
the middle of January was made
known this week to .he Company,
who are expecting arrival of necessary
machinery at any time.
Although operations at the Mille
have been slowly progressive during
the past year, output has been greatly
diminished through the inability to
secure up-to-date machinery necessary
for the modern productton of flax
fibro. Government war aelays have
been responsible, but apparently this
unfortunate difficulty is about to be
cleared away.
The news that the :11118 will be in
full proctluction by the middle of Janu-
ary will be greeted warmly by every-
one, and no ono is more pleased than
the proprietor, Mr. T. A. G. Gordon,
and those in charge of the Mills.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO EVERYONE
Once again it is time for the Editor
and his family to wish all the readers,
•adventis'ei's correslponu'jsnts', and the
many others who help lighten our
daily task, a Vary Merry Christmas.
Perhaps it is the sertouenoss of the
times hi which eve live, or it may bo
that we are growing older; what ever
it is, time seems to fly very swiftly.
And when we think of the many
who are suffering under the heel of
the Dietatoa•,s, truly our lot is a happy
one. In the past few west , war
has come very close to our fair land,
perhaps closer that! many of us had
anticipated, but even so, we aro still
living in the best port, of the world.
Let tie do all we can to keep i't thus.
And let ug all hiape that by another
Christmas, the whole world will be a
Ihapp cr state.

DREADFUL DRUMFIRE
Behind the roar of the flaming
hell that id' the Russian front, be-
hind the 'clangor ofthe clash in
Libya, behind the steady boom of
bombs flattening a score of Eur
ape's cities, there is a dreadful
obligate of riflefire. It is the Ger-
man
erman executions in conquered lands.
As many u 100,000 men and
women have died before thee*
Nazi firing -squads, the Inter -Allied
Information Committee in London
estimates, Whether that 'la an es -
curate figure we do not know. No
one knows, not even the Nazis.
In Poland alone 82,000 people
have been executed during two
years of occupation, this committee
estimates. Every conquered coun-
try has contributed its toll of those
who were led out to die unarmed,
unconvicted of any offense,
In no modern war hal anything
like this, or anything approaching
such a scale, been permitted to
happen. It is the measure of a Nazi
future. —Guelph Mercury.

NOT LOUSY IN ENGLAND
Tho Canadian soldiers overseas
are not bothered by lice. That is
something for which they must be
grateful. No matter how clean
the troops tried to keep them-
selves in the last war, when they
were in the front line areas, they
were troubled with body lice.
Splendid sanitary arrangements
have been made. Hot baths are
provided and the quarters are kept
scrupulously clean at all times,
The men are provided with clean
underwear and steam units go

REALISM AND SACRIFICE
Many men and women in Bra
tam's war plants work sixty and
seventy hours a week, with no day
of rest either. They do it heartily,
not because they particularly like

be won. On this side of the Atlan-

WHY BOTHER?
Vocal choruses are not suitable

We11, panzer means armor and
since the German armored divis-

refused Jap demand that colony surrender.
Tell Whitest Lie Fewer Gadgets On Some Opinions
Says First Lady New Car Models About Generals
Mrs, Franklin D. Roosevelt says
she believes in telling the whitest
lie of then all, the fib about
Santa Claus,
In her question - and - answer
page in the December Ladies'
Home Journal, the First Lady
says she subscribes to the telling
of fairy tales u well u children's
stories based on scientific fact.
"I certainly do believe in tell-
ing children to believe in Santa
Claus," she wrote. "They learn
soon enough that Santa Claus is
mother or father, or some other
kind person. Why not let them
have the joy of believing that
Santa Claus does come to all
children and that he Is such, a
jolly old saint?"
Dog -drawn Taxis
Appear In Paris
Dog -drawn taxicabs have ap-
peared on the streets of Paris, be-
cause the lack of fuel has forced
the withdrawal of motor vehicles
and most harness -horses have been
sent to the slaughterhouse.
A 1925 law prohibiting the use
of dogs for traction power has
been cancelled and a new police
ordinance permits "canimobile"
taxis, provided they be drawn by
huskies fitted with painless har-
nesses.
The use of terriers or smaller
dogs for traction is still forbid-
den.
LIFE'S LIKE THAT
Demand for materials in the
armament program may require
the U. S, automobile industry to
produce only two and fourdoor
sedans without brightwork, wool
upholstery, rubber floor mats, and
other gadgets and finery. Station

coupes, convertible models may
distuppear.
Automobile officials said the
"Victory" model automobile would
have no double -bar bumpers and
bumper bars, clocks, cigar light -
tars, radios; dual tail lights and
extra parts. It will come in fewer
oolers, with fewer coats of en-
amel,
Jap Empire.
Exclusive of conquered pairs of
China, which varies constantly,
Japan controls a Far Eastern Em-
pire that totals almost 900,000
square miles, although the area
of Japan proper is less than 150,-
000 square miles, says Pathfinder.
Japanese territories include Kor-
ea, the southern half of the island
of Sakhalin, Formosa, and a group
of more than 1,400 islands in
Oceania that formerly • belonged
to Germany. Manchoukuo, al-
though not formally a part of the
Japanese empire, has been occu-
pied by Japan for ten years. In
addition, Japan occupies parts of
French Indo-China and Inner
Mongolia.

REG'LAR FELLERS—Just Supposin'
After the latest reshuffling of
her generals, Russia seems, tem-
porarily at least, to have found
a winning combination. • Perhaps
Stalin has begun to chine in with
several of his distinguished pre-
decessors on the subject of gen-
erals.
Lincoln had a sour view of
them. On one occasion, when it
was reported to him that the Con-
federates had captured a briga-
dier general and 12 mules, he
said: "Too bad, Those mules cost
us $200 apiece,"
Margot Asquith once said to
Gen. Pershing, after the first
World War: "The only reason we
won the war was because there
were generals on the other side."
And President Paul Kruger,
giving instructions to his Boor
soldiers in their war against the
British in South Africa, said:
"Kill aa many officers as possible,
but for God's sake spare the gen-
orals."

CANADA'S FUR TRADE
No. 69
The value of the furs sold in this
country at tho present time is
quite large, probably about the
same as it was a hundred years
ago, but the emphasis is away from
the beaver, martin and fisher to
the muskrat, skunk and red fox,
The number of people engaged in
the industry is probably much
greater, than was the case a cen-
tury ago but, as 1 said, the ag-
gregate value of the fur is about
the same.
Muskrat and skunk sold for a
few cents in the early 1800's and
red fox and raccoon seldom went
over a dollar. Nowadays, these are
the mainstay of the trade but .they
sell, individually, for much more.
Too, the fur ranches have come
into the picture and a groat deal
of our fur is ranch raised. This
fur is probably better quality
for it is taken when the animal
is at its best and on the better
ranches it has been produced un
der almost ideal conditions,
About 25 important fur bearers
occur in North America and a
number of others may be Laken
at times. Tho weasel family are
the most hunted and contribute
the major share of the pelts. Musk-
rat lead all others in total num-
bers' taken. Beaver were almost
extinct on the market a few years
ago bat are now coining back,
Skunk, rod fox and mink are of
considerable value to the trapper.
Altogether the fur trade of Can-
ada is an important asset. How-
ever, as I stressed in a previous
article it must be handled intel-
ligently or it will be lost, The ani•
male must be protected when they
are scarce and they must have
places to live. I will write more
about this in another article.

Bitter Cold and' Russian Power
Halt German Drive on Moscow
Two. dramatio Items show the
deadly parallel of the Russian
Campaign. The first, a description
of the'iarench campaign in Russia
in November 1812, reads:
"The road was even more thick-
ly covered with dead horses than
on preceding marches, There were
many human corpses, too; and at,
every bivouac one saw large num-
bers that had ,tiled of suffocation
from the fumes of fires, because
they had, dragged themsolvesatoo
close when already frpstbitten,end .
halt frozen. Others st11'monned: put
oould not 'drag themselves Away;"
The other item is front a - Nazi
radio broadcaster's description of
the German campaign in Russia
in November, 1941: _
"Grey is the country, grey . the
sky, everything grey and empty.
With its aspect of . forlornness,
the whole country is frightening.
The road to Moscow resembles
one vast soaked' sponge along
which men, horses and lorries slog
painfully and strenuously. Slowly
they move, dragging themselves
step by step. Time after time they
are bogged down, This is Russia."
Everywhere frem the Arctic to
the Sea of Azov the Germans are
retreating and, in many cases, re-
treating in disorder. The myth of
the invincibility of the German
army is being torn to abrade by
the Russians, What will the people
of the Reich think now of Hitler's
boast made in Berlin two months
ago that Germany's eastern enemy
was crushed and would never rise
again?
Russian Army Reorganized
The German failures before .Mos-
cow and at Rostov were evidence
that the Russian army had been
reorganized in the midst of a ter-
rible campaign, Special Guard di-
visions were formed, vast reserve,
armies trained in the valley of the
Volga and important shifts made in
the High Command. tStalin Is Com-
mander -in -Chief of the Soviet fora
es and he is said to have person-
ally worked out details of the Rus-
sian counter -offensive, The vast
masses of the people of Russia
were totally mobilized to work
wherever needed, and to work even
beyond their powers of endurance.
Every civilian in Russia was in the
front line.
41.
The Cossacks Ride Again
Horse -power as of old, was a
definite factor in dispersing the
enemy. The Russians have for
some time been building up a
strong cavalry corps, especially
outfitted for winter aervice. These
wild, hard -riding Cossacks were
loosed when Rostov was recaptur-
ed. They wore on the Germans bo -
fore a defense line could be estab-
lished, 118 German tanks were
among the booty surrendered —
the horse is certainly still in the
war,
Perhaps the lowly'?ouse will take
a decisive part in the war on the
Eastern front, The Swedish capital
reports that lice -borne typhus has
infected some German troops, al-
ready suffering from cold, hunger
and exhaustion. Tho epidemic,
which can exterminate as many
men as all of Stalin's battling
forces put together, is spreading

Saratoga 'Trunk is a novel of
the 'eighties, the days of the rail-
road builders, Set against a back-
ground of the old World city of
New Orleans and the New World

this period is vividly presented,
Into it is woven the romance of

• Germany Blames the Weather
A spokesman for • the `German

that during the winter German
troops would have to abandon the
war of movement, that all , up and

' Moscow's- Version
Moscow had a different version
of the fighting, It was 'not cold
alone that caused the Nazi halt
but fighting Russian soldiers and
an organic defect in the work of
tho German command in planning
.the war, Sturdy determined Rus-

claims that the retreat has be-

A Long Way TO Waterloo?
The significance of, the Russian
successes does not lie in accounts
of ground recaptured, says the New
York Herald Tribune. For some
time there have been hints in
Berlin quarters that rectification
of the German .lines would be
necessary' in order to stabilize a
winter front. This would probably
involve withdrawals from the sea -
lents driven north and south of
Moscow and might mean extensive
movements westward along the
Whole of the northern sector.
There is no very clear natural de-
fensive line for the Germans in
that area, and the ability to take
up strong poste must depend large-
ly on the skill and energy of their
engineers.
But it is clear that the Red
Army is not allowing the Germans
to complete their search for win-
ter quarters in peace. A retreat
is always a difficult...operation.
Military observers have , been won-

plex mechanism went into reverse,
and it is possible that the Rus-

answer. The Germane are being

Dinna Ye Hear
The Highlanders?
Scottish Battalions, Bagpipes
and All, 'fake Part In Libya
Fight
While regimental anonymity is,
still observed with regard to the
Ilattle of Libya, it is learned in-
directly that there are Highland-
ers in'tbe fray, As a matter of fact
there have been Scottish battal-
ions in all the North Africa Cam-
paigns down as far as Ethiopia. It
is iii this great struggle in Libya,
however, that the presence of the
Scots has become known through
incidental reference to the bag-
pipes.
A despatch foo Cairo in the mid-
dle of last week stated that be-
tween lulls 111 the gunfire, the
sound of the bagpipes could be
heard puttln,g fresh heart into their
comrades. A later despatch told of
the joy with which a Highland
regiment heard the skirl of the
pipes coming from up in front.
That was a prearranged signal
that a certain point had been cap-
tured.
Colors In Action
In olden days bands used to play,
the regiments into action, The
colors of the regiment were carried
into the fight too, and the music
aid the colors were great sources
of inspiration. When these customs
were abolished, the bandsmen eith-
er went into action, too, or acted
as stretcher-bearers.
It seems, however, that the
Scots' pipers go into action still, to
inspire and encourage their com•
rade.. Scots are stirred by the
story of the capture of the heights
o2 Dargai durlug the Chitra cam-
paign in northwest India in 1897,
the hero of which Piper James
Pindl.ater of the Gordon Highland-'
ens, is still living, and visited rela-
tives in Canada a few years ago,
Twice, English regiments had at-
tempted to storm the heights, but
were driven back by a withering
fire, Then Colonel Mathias rode
op to his men and said: "The gen-
eral says that hill must be taken.
The Gordons will take it" Twice
Piper Flndlater was shot going up
the hill, but propping himself
against a boulder he played "The
Cock o' the North," and thus inspir-
ed, the Gordons took the hill. Find -
later was awarded the Victoria
Cross.
Pipes Calve Warning
Probably Scottish men and WO -
men have a sharp ear for the
sound of the pipes. When the Brit-
ish garrison of 10, together with
a few civilians, were besieged 1n
Lucknow for four months, they bad
almost given up hope and were re-
signed to massacre when the wife
of one of the Scottish soldiers
suddenly leaped to her feel and
cried: "Dinna ye hear them, '1.t7JttlA
yehear them? The Highlands are
tom In'."
Nobody else did butin a few
minutes the • pipes were plainly
heard and a column of Highland-
ers soon arrived causing the Sepoys
to flee.
Perhaps there Is no sound the
Italians and Germans more dread
to hear on the field than the bag-
pipes. It warns them that not
only the Campbells are conlin' but
all the rest of the Scotties,

Hitler Treats Friend
And Enemy Alike
It is not only in the invaded
and occupied countries that the
Nazis are hated.. For some time
now the Italians have been be-
coming increasingly restive since
they are finding by bitter experi-
ence that as Hitler.'s jackal they
get remarkably few tit -bits. A
most interesting article recently
appeared in an English newspaper
by an Englishman who has lived
in Italy for many years and who
was very recently a prisoner in
Tuscany: The writer says that
Italy is subjected by the Nazis
to almost as much indignity as a
conquered country. There in Ger-
man control on all railway sta-
tions, German supervision in sev-
eral centres, and the Italian sec-
ret police takes second place to
the Gestapo. Food is exceedingly
scarce; the Italians have had no
butter since they entered the war,
and they have meat only once a
week. The main reason for this is
that the Germans have annexed
most of their products such as
oil, fat, oranges and lemons. Hit-
ler . adopts his "bleeding white"
policy towards his friends as well
as towards his enemies.

Saga of the Sea
The perils of the sea are not
reserved to the menaces of for
pedoes and nines says the Kitcli•
ener Record. The old sea with
its hurricanes, its pounding waves
and its typhoons is still the sans
elemental terror that challenged
mariners since Viking days.
Of recent date is the story of
a Canadian three -piaster scho(-ner,'
from Lunenberg caught in two
hurricanes and breached, Her men
were reduced to starvation when
a small freighter hove in sight
and took on the despairing crew.
Salt. water permeated the ves-
sel and spoiled the food, The men
caught water in reservoirs de-
signed to hold the rain. This was
all they had to drink. The skip-
per had a new dress shirt and he
converted the pins in it to fish
books and the men caught small
fish over the rail of the stagger-
ing ship.
This is just another saga of
the sea that has no U-boat Or

TO THE WOMEN OF CANADA
Here is One Big War Job
which You Alone Can Do
"Ceiling Prices" Must Be Maintained
This is an appeal to the women of Canada. There is
one vital part of our war effort which depends on you.
Your government has placed a "ceiling", on retail
prices. You are the buyers of four out of every five dollars
worth of all the goods sold in this country. Your
whole -hearted help is needed in this price control plan.
If every woman docs her part, it cannot fail.
Its success will be a big step on thc road to victory.
Its failure would be a serious blow to our war effort.
You can tip the balance towards success.
Will you, then, undertake to make the successful
control of commodity prices an established fact? We
know you will. And wd know that when you undertake
this task it is as good as done.
This is the work you are asked to do
1. Make a list of conunodities
We want you to sit down today and make a list of the
things you buy from week to week and from month to month.
Write down food and clothing items in particular, because
these account for the biggest shays of your expenditures. But
we want you to list those articles you buy at the drug store,
hardware store, and other stores, too.
2. Make notes about quality
Now go over your list again and mark down thc necessary
details about quality, type, grade and size. Then when making
future purchases you will be able to compare values as well
as prices.
r
I
Prices May be Different in Different Stores
There has always been a difference in prices in different
stores—even storcs in the same locality. This may depend
on the kind of service the store gives, or the way it oper-
ates. Some storcs, for instance, have delivery service, give
credit, or provide other, extra services.
Under, the new Price Ceiling Order there will still be
differences in prices at different stores. Thc new price
regulations will not do away with competition. The high-
est prices in any particular store must not be higher than
the highest prices in force iu that store during the period
September 15 to October 11. They may be a little lower
or a little higher than the prices in other stores.
The prices you will mark down will be the highest
prices charged at thc store where you shop.
3. Write down prices
After each itcm we want you to write down, if you can, thc
highest price charged at your store during the period September
15 to October 11,1941. If you cannot remember the prices charged
during that period, fill in your list with today s prices. Our
survey shows that retailers, with few exceptions, arc keeping
prices well within the "ceiling". levels. As exceptions arc
being discovered they arc being quickly brought into line.
4. Keep this list•—use it when you buyl
Make up this price list neatly and accurately. You will
not be able to get all the iters at once. Keep adding to Your
list from day to day. Make it your permanent check list—
your personal safeguard against any further rise in prices.
A Few Points' to Remember
1, The ceiling price is not necessarily the price you
paid. It is the highest price at which the store sold the
particular item between September 15 and October 11.
2, A merchant may reduce his prices for sales or other
reasons—he may also raisc them provided they do not go
above the ceiling price.
3. Variations in seasonal prices on fresh fruits and
vegetables are permitted. Rulings on seasonal markets will
be announced from time to time by the Wartime Prices and
Trade Board in newspapers and over the radio.
4. Fill out your price list without bothering your mer-
chant. In many casts he is making a financial sacrifice to
sell under the price ceiling. Thc war has left him short-
staffed and the Christmas' tush is on,

Why you must do your part
To ensure the success of this price control plan, every
woman in Canada should make a list. Retailers arc showing a
splendid spirit of co-operation. Thc great majority of them arc
determined to make this plan work, but if you do nut co-
operate the whole plan inight fail — prices might start to
skyrocket. So keep your list handy. Check the prices you pay
against it.
If a price seems higher than thc ceiling, ask your merchant
about it. If further information is necessary, report thc full
details in writing. Address your letter to the Prices and Supply
Representative, Wartime Prices and Trade 13oard at any of the
following: Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, North

THE CHRISTIAN'S HOPE: Matt.
25:31.48; John 14:1-8; 2 Cor.
5:1-10; 2 Tim. 4:8-8; I Peter
1:9.9; Rev. 22:1-5.

Rev. 22:1-5.
GOLDEN TEXT—In My Father's
house are many mansions, John
14:2.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
TIme—The passage taken from
Matthew belongs to 'a discourse
spoken on .Tuesday of Passion
Week, April 4, A.D. 80; the one
taken from John's Gospel was
spoken on Thursday night of the
same week. The Second Epistle of
Paul to the Church at Corinth was
written about A.D. 69 or 60, while
his Second Epistle to Timothy was
written at the very end of his life,
A.D. 65 or 66. The First Epistle
of Peter was written about A.D.
80; the book of Revelation, A.D.
96.
Place—Tho two discourses of
Christ hero used were uttered in
Jerusalem. Paul wrote the Second
Epistle to the Corinthians from
Ephesus, and the Second Epistle
of Timothy front Rome. We do not
Anow from what city Peter wrote
his First Epistle; all we know
about the book of Revelation, as
far as geography is concerned, is
that the visions were received on
the Island of Patmos.
1. "Let not your heart be troub-
led: believe in God, believe also
in me." The Lord comforts the
deeciples with the sure hope that,
though He must leave them, He
and they shall meet again and He
Intimates that He is the personal
revelation of the Father.
2, "In my Father's house are'
many mansions; if It were not so,
•I would have told you." There are
*many mansions or dwelling places,
there la• mom, enough for all.
Christ, to His fairness, would not
have invited them to a place in
which there was not room for all.
"For I go to prepare a place tot
you," This is a beautiful way for
our Lord to speak of Itis exodus
from this rr^orkl.
3. "And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I come again, and
will receive you unto myself; that
'?here I am, there ye may be also."
Just an Christ came down from
glory once to do a epeeific work,
He will come again to do another
specific work. He wants us to be
with him because He loves us.
4. "And whither I go, ye know
the way. 6. Thomas saith unto
him, Lord, we know not whither
thou , goest; how know we the
way?" Jesus goes by the way in
which He lived, a kind of lite un-
mistakably pointing towards God
as source and goal. We conjecture
where a man is going by the lite
he lives.
1. "Jesus saith unto him, I am
the way and the truth, and the
life." The way is a recognized
name for Christianity. To know the
truth is also to know the way to
God. He is the lite, being one with
the living Father and belt g sent
by Him, To know the life' is to
knowtbg way to God. "No one
-- 0000meth unto--? -: 'a"^ .-but by
me." The Apostle Paul constantly
emphasizes the truth that we have
access to the Father only through
the Lord Jesus Christ.
1. "And he showed me a river
of water of lite bright as crystal,
proceed1ng out of the throne of
God and of the Lamb. 2. in the
midst of the street thereof. And
on this side of the river and on
that was the tree of life, bearing
twelve manna of fruits, yielding
its fruit every month: and the
leaves of the tree were for the
healing of the nations." The river
of water of life is a beautiful sym-
bol of life in its gladness, purity
and activity, ever flowing through
the heavenly city, As the water
of the river is called the water of
lite, SO the tree here seen with its
twelve fruits is called the tree of
life, which of course, reminds u
of the Garden of Eden.
8, "And there shall be no curse
any more: and tho throne of God
and of the Lainb shall be therein:
and His servants shall serve flim;
4. and they shall see His face;
and His name shall be on their
foreheads. 6. And there shall be
night no more; and they need no
light of lamp neither light of sun;
for the Lord God shall give therm
light: and they shall reign for.
ewer and ever." Four things are
"add here about the children of
God in their heavenly home: they
will serve the Lamb they will be-
hold His face, His name will be
on their foreheads, and they shall
reign forever and ever. What does
the text mean, that we shall reign
forever and ever? The whole uni-
verse is under the sovereign con•
bol of God. \Ve have already seen
that the earth will be peopled with
nations receiving blessing from
Heaven. May this not refer, then,
to our positions of authority over
different parts of the Kingdom of:
God, corresponding to the words of
our Lord, when to the faithful the
promise is made. "Well done, good
and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over a few things, I
will set thee over many things,
enter thou into the joy of the
Lord."

Victory Army Told Not By A Little
To Become Active
Europe's "V for Victory" army,
which has been estimated at 200,-
000,000, was told by "Col, Brit-
ton," radio originator of the cam-
paign, to harass the Nazis, to
switch from passive to active re-
sistance in the German-occupied
countries.
The time has come, he said over
the BBC, for the army to form
in small platoons to "help each
other."
He also urged that factory
workers lose their tools and that
office workers muddle and mis-
calculate.
"The slower you work the
quicker you'll win," he said.
Thing Like That
Ellen Fletcher, 108, believed to
be the oldest woman in Britain,
died in Croydon Infirmary re-
cently.
She outlived all her relatives
and until three years ago drank
a glass of beer daily.
Wrinkled and jovial, she always
maintained a sense of humor.
When a bomb struck the infirm-
ary last winter, she remained
calm, and, as she was led away
over the bomb debris, quipped:
"Napoleon couldn't frighten my
mother and this young fellow
Hitler isn't going to frighten
me,"

How Many Know
Strength of Navy?
Some Interesting Naval Data
Given by the St. Thomas
Times -Journal
The Royal Navy is doing a job
that is ono of the wonders of the
world because it has to cover al-
most the entire seven seas with
vastly less support than it had
in the last war, This success is'
largely 'due to the greater use
of types of small craft which were
not employed during 191.4.18, par.
ticularly the , corvette, and fast,
powerful motor and other mosquito
boats doing - patrol work. There
are hundreds of small ships which
enjoy the dignity of being valu-
able units of His Majesty's Royal
Navy,
Greet Britain started off the pre-
sent war with a serious interior-
ity in capital ships compared with
the First Great War. In 1914 she
was assisted by the navies of
France, Russia, Japan, and in April
1916, Italy joined in. In April 1917
the United States was added to
the naval forces of the Allies, The
French navy dropped out of the
present war In June last year, and
about the same time Italy was
added against us. On the' other
hand Germany also began the war
with less power than in 1914.
Comparative Losses
The following table shows how
small have been the losses of the
Royal Navy during the first two
yeara of this war compared with
the last one:
1914-1916 1939-1941
Battleships 10 1
Battle cruisers 8 1
Aircraft carriers None in use 1
Cruisers 17 9
Destroyers 24 63
Submarines 24 29
The heavy losses in 1914-16
chiefly occurred in the battles of
Coronel and Jutland and during
the attempts to force the Dar-
danelles. Mines also accounted for
a good many,..including the brand
new battleship Audacious in the
Irish Sea.
Britain's loss of 63 destroyers
this time is offset, however, by
the 50 old destroyers traded with
the United States for naval bases.
And on this occasion Canada is
making a wonderful contribution
with around 250 ships, The num•
ber is being added to weekly.
Sam's Going Back
To Hill Country
Sam Cleland, 77 -year-old pros-
pector who drifted into Wells, D.C.
not long ago, after 12 years of
solitude in the hills of what he
calls "Mountain Goat" country,
decided after getting an earful of
the war news that he wouldn't
stay here any longer than neces-
sary,
"I'm going back to the hills
where I belong," ho said. "Next
time I conte out, I may stay out,
but not now, not now,"
Cleland, who was wounded at
Vimy Ridge in the First Great
'War and homesteaded in the Peace
River country before taking to
prospecting in the interior hills of
British Columbia, said he couldn't
believe Britain and Germany were
at war again,

Can Write On It
Or Dress In It
The Germans also have their
campaign for economy in tho use
of paper, only they put in on
rather different grounds from the
British. Their slogan is ono that
comes near to the heart. It is in
' effect "Paper or Clothes?" As the
"Zeitschrift fur offentlicho Wirts-
chaff" puts it: "Cellulose, the basis
'of paper production, only exists
once, and we have the choice whe-
ther to write on it or to dress in
it. By economizing in the use of
paper exerybody can help to decide
whether with tho' next clothing
ration -card he or she is to obtain
an extra pair of stocings and ma•
terlal for another spring dress or
working suit" The point of course,
is that the German civilian is now
clothed mainly in synthetic fibres,
and such luxuries as wool, cotton,
flax, and silk rarely come his way.
The choice between wood pulp for
paper and for clothes is a real one.

CHAPTER 20 •
An flour later, when the flood
light 0f 'a late noon showed only
the empty expanse of a deserted
highway, Mark spoke again,
"Do you happen to remember the
time Mrs. Summerville went to
talk to Miss Lucy?'
"it was about twelve."
"Thou they didn't have lunch
'together?"
"Certainly not, sir, Mrs, Sum-
merville had a tray sent to her

"Could 1 do a bit of driving,

"You must be wanting a nap,"
"Not yet thanks," replied Marls,

He would, he told himself, go huts

wintry dawn lay low ou the hod-

He freed a hand, and rubbed his
eyes, He.stopped his car about fifty
yards behind the old van and
shook Chiltern gently by the arm,
The n14U1 sat straight, his sober'
bowler hat a trifle rakishly over
ono eye, and regarded Mark re-
morsefully, "I slept, sir," he apolo-
sized.
"Oh—that's all right," whispered
Mark excitedly, ns 1f the dawn had
ears. "Do you see what I see?
Ahead of us?"
The Ark Ahead
Chiltern peered out laid sleep
immediately vanished, "That's it,
sir," he cried. "There she is!" itis
excitement fully matched Mary's,
"Hold everything!" said Mark..
He opened the door and jumped
out, sprawling full length beside
the car.
Chiltern leaped after him as he
'gat gingerly to his feet. "Are you

Chiltern climbed back in the car,
and Mark crept stealthily up on
the Ark. The lines 'were unmis•
takable, even with its now coat
of blue, Was the poor little idiot
camping in the back, 'as she had
done so long ago?
He would look in the front first,
if she wasn't there, he would open
up the back. Ile swung himself
to the step, opened the door, and
saw her, She was slumped over the
wheel, the soft" fur of her coat
framing her small cold face,
The most terrible fear he had
over known gripped hint, Ile slip-
ped into the sent beside her and
lifted Let• in his arms. Her head

opened her eyes• He was almost ill
with relief,
She lay in his arms and eolith'.
used to look up at him, Ile could
see sleep give way to a sort of
daze and at last to the reality of
his presence, She started up but
he only gathered her more com-
pletely into itis arms,
"What-" they cried at once,
Valk laughed, After all what did
it mistier what they were asking
each other?
"Ladies first,"' ho said, "Not that
I care. I know all about it, dear
heart --I menu, why you left—why
you have to conte back—"
Lucy shook her head. "Clow?"
she asked.
"Chiltern."
"What a Ulan!" She smiled a
wry little frozen smite. "I drove
all night. I wanted to get to Al.
lington as soon as I could. A little
while ago I got so sleepy I didn't
dare go on. So I palled up here,
I thought I'd just shut my eyes a
min 0te—"
"My pool' littlo imbecile—you
might have frozen, Somebody
might have Cottle along—"
"Somebody did," said Lucy,
Lucy's Troubles Happily Ended
The possibilities of her fate did
not trouble her now Mark tucked
a small strand of gold under Lucy's
little hat and kissed her. Sho lay
against his shoulder looking up
at him, She felt that it he never
wore to say a word of love to her
in all his lite, she would know
from his lclsq,
"I suppose they have ministers
at Allington?" he said presently.
"Ministers?"
"'They marry people, I can fur-
nish all the rest, the bride, the
groom, an oven the best tnan,"
"But—,hark—"
"I havo Chiltern back there In
the car, From now on, Chiltern is
a national institution." Ile heard
himself talking rubbish, and didn't
caro. lie knew now that ho had
never really held a girl in his
arms until now,
Lucy laughed softly, Mark loved
her. Site knew it now, Of course
there would never be another like
hits, She crowded closer 1n his
arms.
"As soon as I've got you safely
married," said Marls, "I'll send
Chiltern home in the Ark. Valerie

What is your choice in honey

"What honeymoons have you?"
asked Lucy. She wondered If they
had just discovered happiness.
"Practically all brands," he as-

"I bill," said Lucy.

To Be Thrifty
Wear your coat another year;
if necessary have it turned and
remade.
'I'llis is the tip passed on by
economists of the Wartime Prices
and Trade Beard. Canadians de-
mand of their Government the
greatest possible war effort, The
co-operation of the public is need-
ed to make this possible.
Canada needs the materials and
manpower that go into civilian in-
dustries, so people on the home
front are advised to learn how to
manage with less,
It is not only coats that must
be "made do" but everything.
Clothing and household equipment
should be kept on the go as long
as possible, for although storo
docks in some lines still appear

occur.

COMMANDS SECOND DIVISION
a;....: Few..... _ • ...moi
Major General H. D. G. Crerar is here shown behind the sights
of an anti-tank gun during an inspection tour at Petawawa training
camp, General Crerar has recently been appointed commander of the
2nd Canadian Division overseas, succeeding Maj. -Gen. Victor W.
Odlum, who becomes Canada's high commissioner to Australia, Maj, -
Gen, K. Stuart succeeded Gen. Crerar as chief of general staff,
gineer and his assistant.
Ranging in age from 25 to 35
years, the feminine tars do their
jobs like seasoned hands, The ma-
jority of ihcm were Russians—
wind-tanned amazons, on their
se?ond voyage across the Atlantic.
Their hair closely cropped and
wearing heavy, warm jumpers,
overalls and high boots, they
whistled while they worked, stow-
ing' ropes, polishing hand rails,
scrubbing decks and cooking the
meal its the galley,
Below the decks ten other braw-
ny girls swung coal front the
bunkers to the stoke -hold to keep
the engines turning.
"I have never had a better be-
haved crew," said the skipper.
These women sailors are a credit
to themselves, to their ship and
to their new calling."
In times of danger at sea they
had shown the coolness of veter-
an fighters,
"They have put the taboo on
this talk of the weaker sex," he
said. "Some of them are strong-
er in mind and body than the
men in the crew."
Orchardettes For
The Small Estate
Many homeowners who would
enjoy picking tho ripe fruit in
season from their own trees have
room on their estates for only one
tree says The Christian Science
Monitor. This limits the picking
to ono kind of fruit. For such
ho>neowners, says a horticultural
article, there is nolo a tree from
which they may garner various
kinds of fruit. Instead of five
trees with five varieties of apples,
the small -yard 111a11 may have an
apple "orchardette" of one tree
with five types grafted on, Or,
for another example, a plums -and -
peach tree; esthetically, the arti-
cle mentions tjme beauty of a
plum -peach -apricot tree.
It is not suggested that the
Home -owner can have on his tree
all kinds of fruit indigenous to the
climate; but a reasonable assort-
ment should .satisfy most. .Evi-
dently, too, the orchardette has
other advantages. One tree is
easier than an orchard for a busy
ratan to take care of; and there
would be just about enough of
each kind of fruit for the family,
thus disposing of a bothersome
surplus often incidental to the
ownership of even one single -fruit
tree.
This may sectll to most home-
owners too good to be true. Since
they are first cousins, so to speak,
could the kind horticulturists
please arrange' for a not -too -big
tree that will have apple blossoms
in Spring, roses in Summer, and
red -checked fruit in Fall?
"No Separates"
The other day (writes n cor-
respondent in the Liverpool Post)•
I saw a notice printed on a fish
and chip shop window which
aroused my curiosity. 1 read as
follows: "No separates from to-
day."
Wondering what special brand
of food was being withdrawn from
the public I asked a boy who was
coming out of the shop with a
parcel what it meant. "It means"
he replied, "you have got to have
your fish and chips in one piece
of paper and not separated, They
are short of paper."

When Weather Cold
The Dessert Is Hot
By KATHARINE BAKER
1t just wouldn't bo fall without
rich and flavorsome steamed pud-
dings for dessert occasionally. In
fact, steadied puddings aro so
popular that many kitchens boast
a complete steaming outfit, If you
haven't one however, don't let
that stop you from serving hot
puddings. A deep saucepan may
bo used, provided it has a tight
cover, In the bottom of the sauce-
pan place a rack on which to
stand the molds. Old baking pow-
der or coffee cans make excellent
molds because of their tight -fitting
covers. These should be thoroughly
greased, tilled one-half to two-
thirds full of pudding mixture and
placed on the rack, Have boiling
water halfway up, around molds.
Tho saucepan should theu be tight-
ly covered, There should be en-
ough water to last throughout the
first hour of steaming. Later, if
any has to be added, it should be
boiling water; The -water should
boil the entire time.

Doctors Prescribe
Embroidery Work
English doctors are prescribing
embroidery for soldiers with ner-
vous trouble.
Knitting, explains Lady Smith-
Dorrien, head of the Royal School
of Needlework, is not enough to
take the mind off worry.
Many women have written to
her complaining that they have
knitted and knitted until they can
knit no longer, and asking her
for the best work to take up the
entire attention,
To all of them Lady Smith-
Dorrien recommends fine em-
broidery, intricate and difficult
work, which wholly occupies the
mind.
The salve principle is now be-
ing applied to the new methods
1n Britain's wartime hospitals.

Stork Very Busy
In United States
Census bureau officials say the
United States is experiencing the
greatest boom in baby production
since 1921.
Latest statistics show that the
stork is making a new delivery
every 14 seconds,
At that rate the stork is mov-
ing faster than the undertaker,
who makes a call every 23 sec-
onds.
Provisional estimates show that
approximately 2,500,000 babies
will be born this year of a popu-
lation of approximately 132,000;
Op. That represents about 187
babies for every 10,000 persons this
year.
L1 1937 the birth rate was 171...
babies to every 10,000 persons.
In 1938 it was 176, and in ,1940,
179.
Both the First Great War and
the present crisis are partially
responsible for the latest upswing
in the birth rate, said Dr, Philip
Hauser, the census bureau's assis-
tant chief statistician for popula-
tion.
"The huge crop of babies born
after the boys got back from the
World War have now become old
enough to -have babies of their
,pwn," Dr, Hauser says. "And

France's 76,000,000 honey bees
have been put on food rations.
The Government has assigned
75 tons of sugar for the use of
agriculturists in feeding their
bees until the spring flowers
bloom.
Authorities, fearing that far-
riers Wright appropriate the sugar
to their own use, have reserved
the right to see that the bees do
not go hangry.
All English Mothet's
Now To Be Put t
Developed In. Ontario
Expert Has Eyes Opened by
System at Hospital For
Sick Children
INFANT DEATHS CUT
During his recent visit to Cando,
Sir Wilson Jameson, chief medical
officer of the British Ministry o[
Health, stated that immediately upon
his return to England he would be
putting all expectant mothers in Bri-
tain on the diet which has been
worked out by The lIospital for Sick
Children in Toronto.
Sir Wllsnn said that he Lad learned
much in the few days of his visit to
Canada about "things tvtilch I hope
to take back and put into immediate
operation."
"Here Is one Pxample of what l
mean, having to do with the all-im-
portant subject of nutrition, which
will, I am confident, assist us to win
the war. Work has been going on
here, in which, by perfectly simple
adjustments in the diet of expectant
mothers, you have reduced what we
have hitherto considered to be un-
manageable deaths of infants under
one month of age.
"The work has been done here
through your magnificent children's
hospital. I'm going to put it into
effect at hone. I'm going to go back
and do it at once. I'm sure that thty
extremely valuable work being done
In Toronto will be of great help to
us. We've done what we could but
we didn't think of this,"
Some idea of the Immense value
and wide scope of the work of The
Hospital for Sick Children may be
formed by considering the fact that
during the past year alone, over 9,000
sick and crippled children were given
treatment in the Public Wards, while
the Out -Patient Department handled
over 73,000 visits from suffering little
ones,
Unlike most other hospitals, this
great Institution has no large group
of Private Ward beds from which to
draw extra revenue which can be
applied to Public Ward service. At
present 414 of the 434 beds are in the
Public Wards.
In these Public Wards, over 80
doctors give their services without
charge. The time donated free by
this group of doctors, which includes
many of Canada's leading child spe-
cialists, has been estimated on a con-
servative basis to be worth at least
$200,000,00 per year, if fees were
charged. Their skill, acquired
through many years of active work
with the most difficult type of "prob-
lem" cases, cannot be measured in
dollars and cents—it is priceless,
The Hospital for Sick Children is
operated for but one main purpose—
to give the children of those in hum-
ble circumstances the same chance
for health and happiners as the chil-
dren of parents who can afford the
full cost of hospital care and medical
attent ion.
Anil, to be effective, medical treat-
ment and hospital care must be given
at the..tlme when it is most needed,
There can be no 'second chance for
many neglected children. Chronic
disease, life-long disfigurement, de-
formity made ,permanent, and
DEATH—these are the undeserved
penalties which neglect inflicts on
such little ones,
That is why, regardless of race,
creed or financial circumstances,
children from every part of Ontario
are given medical and hospital treat-
ment up to—and often beyond—the
normal capacity of The Hospital for
Sick Children,
Operating costs are among the low-
est in North America for institutions
of similar type—so low that this Hos-
pital's efficient operating method has
been cited as an example on many
occasions when hospitalization costa
have been under discussion,
In The hospital for Sick Children
less than five per cent. of the patients
are in private wards, These are the
only ones able to pay the full cost
of their care. This means that 414
of the 434 beds are in Public Wards
where the cost per patient is approxi.
mately $1.25 per day more than the
combined income from parents (or
their municipalities) plus the Gov-
ernment grant.
That is why each year at Christmas
time, the Hospital appeals to the char•
icy of gen; ou5 cIt!?sans and business
firms for donations to meet its uu`•
avoidable deficit, This year, over
$92,000.00 must be raised.
No help is received from the To.
ronto Federation for' ommunity Ser.
vice as patients are taken from all
over the province.
Gifts should be nailed to the Ap-
peal Secretary, The Hospital for Sick
Children, 67 College street, Toronto,
There is dire necessity behind this
appe:;t for help—little children de-
pend on it for their chance for health.

"Tho than about whom little Is writ-

mains In the background. Yet there
are many things we can gather from
the meagre facts of his lite which
mark him as a man of sterling 'worth,

Joseph quietly "stood by, giving every

of hine'but he must have died shortly
afterward,
There are still nanny Joseph's,

duly faithfully, receiving none of the
