THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time, The annunciation to Joseph and to Mary probably took place in 6 B.C. Our Lord was born in the winter of 5-1 B.C. The visit to the Temple at Jerusa- letli, when Jesus was twelve years old, Is thought to have occurred in April, A.D.. 8. Place. — Thu annunciation to .Joseph and Mary took place in Nazareth some seventy utiles north of Jerusalem, where Jesus lived until He was a mature man. The birth of our Lord took place in Bethlehem six miles below Jer- usalem. The circumcision of ' Christ, and alt events connected with the Temple at the time of His bir;,h, took place in Jerusalem. •'�I9l .•what place . to Egypt the holy `"fancily fled we do not know, -• Adoration of Simeon 28, And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and' devout, looking for . the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26. And it•had been revealed unto him by the holy Spirit, that he:should not see death, .before he had seen the Lord's—Christ, 27. And he came - in the Spirit into the temple; and • ' *hen the parents brought 'In the child Jesuit, that they might do • concerning hilt after the custom . of the law, 28. then he received • him • into his arias, and blessed GO, and , saith, 29, Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, • Acconling to thy word, in peace; 80. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31, Which thou has pre- pared before the face of all peo- pies; 32. A light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel, 93. And his fa- ther and his mother were marvel- ling at the things which were spoken concerning Klin; 84. and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary hie mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against; 35. yea and a sword shall pierce thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed." Nothing is known of this aged saint, except what is here recorded by Luke. He Is de- scribed simply as righteous and devout, as looking for the Mes- siah, and as Moved by the Holy Spirit to believe that he would not die before he had seen the Messiah. Guided by the Spirit '"o the courts of the Temple, he no sooner saw Jesus there, than the words of the famous Nunc Dimit- tis rose to his lips. Whilst Mary was wondering at the meaning of such words, Simeon turned to her and foretold the diverse results of the mission of Jesus. A stum- bling block' and an offense to some, it would be the inspiration of a new life to others; and with her own blessedness would mingle < anguish unspeakable, In the is- sue the deepest needs of many souls would be excited and met and men's heats would be probed, enriched and s(ttisfied. By what sign Simeon was taught of the . spirit to recognize the child of Mary as Christ, we are not told. his song Simeon does not pray eath, he thanks God for per= 'ng him to see what many pro - and kings had desired to and were not permitted, the tvation he had promised; and laving seen it, he says that he is eady to go when God wills. The `singular sweetness, the calm beau- ty of the song of Simeon has al- ways been recognized and for ag- es it has entered into evening ser- vice of the church, Both the An- glican and .the Roman Catholic .`1�iircnes have appointed it as a hymn at vespers, teaching us to live every day ns if we knew It to be our last; and embracing Christ in faith, to thunk God for ' Hint and to he ready h peace' to ' dopac't in him, • Growth of Jesus 39, "And when they had • accomplished all things that . were accurdiug . to the law, of the Lord, they ,returned • into Galilee, to their own city Naiar- eth, 40. and the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with lwisdem: and the Grace of God was upon him," The Saviour of the world, God's Son Incarnate, grew up it in the most normal way, with nothing to mar his odily deveopment.

All "Clarks" in the Army are called "Nobby" or "Knobby" according to the edu• ditiou of the sponsor, Don't ask me why; I don't know. Furthermore, I don't think even ltudyard Kipling knew. All this looks beside the potut. But it isn't. It plays a part In the explanation of this column, You see the general idea of this weekly feature, which will conte to you from all aortal of places where Canadians are" training to play their part as men, is to tell John Citizen all—well, nearly all— about the Canadian Army. . , "What do you mean, alt about the Army?" asked a Brass Hat with whom I discussed the col- umn. Never -mind the rest of the conversation—the 'answer ti in the preceding sentence and that ante wear is: "What is a Brass Hat?" A "Brass Hat," paradoxicaly enough, may not have any brass (gold braid or loaves) on his hat at all. Generally speaking, though, a Brass Hat is a senior officer on the Staff.' He may be- recognized by colored'"gorget patches" on his lapels and a band of the ears color aound Lie •cap which varlet to the branch of the Staffto wltioh he be, longe. We'll go into that detail later—. it only came .in here, like "Dusty" Rhodes, as an illustration or 'the sort' of thing, .amongst others, that thus column will interest •itself in from week to week. By now, perhaps you are wonders int 'how' the title was • chosen. Well, you see It was this way.. Any time you want a name for a new baby, or a pup, or a colum:i, you describe it to your friends, ask for their euggeetions, •discard them all—and choose a name your- self. The. what happened in th's case. One suggestion offered was, "Your Artily." True enough, it is your Army and We my Army— sometimes we don't iealize •our ownership and -responsibility as much as we should. But one or two pubilsers thought that sound• ed too reminiscent of "My Day," to God In conliectior with the sav- ing thoughts of God. A Normal Boy In Luke 2: 41-52 is the only account we have of any event be- tween the early childhood of Jesus in Nazareth and His baptism, which probably took place at the age of thirty. This is probably the first time that Jesus beheld the city of Jerusalem, It may be that He went up every year there- after, but we do not know. And where would the Son of God be found? In the Temple of God, in the midst of the teachers, "both hearing them, arid! asking then; questions." The entire text clear- ly implies that Jesus did not know everything when he was twelve years of age. lie was a normal boy. He grew in wisdom. At the same time, we .do not believe there was any actual ignorance In the mind of Jesus. He knew God perfectly aft 'a boy of twelve. He also knew Him potfectly as a pian of thirty.

"'rhe human heart can seem to leak, to leap, to palpitate. hearts can lop, ship and jump and yet life goes on," the writers point out. "A man may hate a recog- nized disease of the hart for 30 year:, live a comparatively com- fortable lire, be of service to his family hall his country and in the end succumb to an infection of his big toe," Commenting that countless rec- ords of persons who live comfort- ably with some type of heart dis- ease may be found In any heart specialist's office, the article sug- gests the possibility that the shock of knowledge that too fast a pace will literally kill may have an im- portant effect in leading the pa- tients into quieter activities and thereby extending the Life span, Obviously, the authors point out, some types of heart disease have a shorter expectation of life than others. The article also comments that high blood pressure need not nec- essarily mean the shortening of life, citing the cases of a woman 98 years old and another 89 who have had high blood pressure for many years and who have main- tained a fairly normal life in spite of the handicap, Modern Etiquette 1.

Fasten a paper bag over the bottom part of the food chop- per when grinding bread crumbs. It will prevent scattering of the crumbs over the floor. Q. How can I avoid having cloudy mirrors? A. Do not place mirrors so that they have direct sunshine on them, It will cause the sur- face of the mirrors to spot and become cloudy. Q. How can I make a "dust- less" dust cloth? A. Place a cloth in a strong, bot suds of pure soap, to which add a few drops of turpentine; let set for two hours. Then wring out dry. Cloths treated in this way will hold the dust and at tho same One give a brilliant polish to the furniture, Treat the cloths in this manner every two weeks, Q, How can I make certain that the soap Is entirely removed from the hair when shampooing? A. If there is considerable, dif- ficulty in ridding the hair en- tirely of soap, try squeezing the juice of a lepton into the final rinse water. It will free the hail' of soap suds and leave it soft and glossy. Army Can't Handle Out -Sized Recruit A man 7 ft, 6 in, tall offered himself for enlistment in the A, I. F. at Melbourne Town Hall, Australia, and the recruiting of- ficers didn't know what to do with him. To give them time to ponder they handed him over to a 5 ft. private to take particulars — weight 18 st. 9 lbs., chest 61 ins., expanded 68 ins., age 35 and sound in mind and limb. Still the recruiting officers were at 0 loss, His hat, boots, uniform and all his equipment would have to be specially made they said. An ordinary rifle would be of no use to him — he would have to be built a special blunder- buss. And any arms officer giving the order, "For inspection, port arms", would have to be given a stepladder to carry it out. E'vcry time he walked along a trench he would take his life in his hands. And if he was woun.ied he'd want a special stretcher and a special bed in hospital ana — They referred the application to higher quarters. Front Line Church Is Still Standing A centuries-old church "some- where on the south coast" of England" is geographically near- er the German Army' than any other church in the British Em- pire. So far, it has been spared the destruction which has befallen hundreds of churches in Great Britain, but it has been damaged by gun -fire from Nazi guns em- placed on the north coast of France. Strange entries are now being made on the church records, which date back to the fifteenth century, The Vicar has written for example; 'Evensong—Shell- ing during service," or "heavy machine-gunning during morning service," A letter was recently received from Wyoming, U.S..,, which said: "I can remember as a boy hearing your bells down there by tho sen, and worshipping in your noble old church," War Has Ruined Garden of Eden Dr, C, W, Lowdermilk, agricul- tural expert of London, England, points out that wars of a thous- and years ago have left their nark on the prosperity of Iran, Iraq and Palestine. The valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates have never really recov'ereu. Now oil wells RFC replacing the tradition of the Garden of Eden. Iran and Iran suffered' worst in the peace that followed strife, because the farm- ers had been driven out and irri- gation systems left to destruction, In ancient times, Phoenicians in hilly Palestine terrace, the open fells with stone on the sides of the hills, and harvests were rich, Came Assyrians and Hittites and other warriors to trample al, into dust.

There has been heavy deterioration of food supplies since last Chr!otnas and rations all around are less than they were.

Like the carbon dioxide gas used for inflating the dinghies, which normally goes overseas in millions of bottles of Britain's famous table waters, most of the goods normally pro- duced by these companies aro known to shoppers in most parte of the world. These rubber dinghies have al- ready saved many lives, for fn sold weather airmen wearing the "Mae West" jacket who came down in the sea could not expect to survive half -au -hour's immer- sion, Now, however, even a 400 lb. man can sit in his dinghy, stop leaks from a pin -prick to a can- non ahell hole, propel it with a pair of rubber hand -paddles (made by people who usually turn out ladies' underwear), light sig- nal flares (supplied by firework manufacturers) and sustain him- self with emergency rations sup- plied by the makers of dainty boxes of chocolate. —St. Thomas Times -Journal. TO BED BEFORE MIDNIGHT From the Canadian Osteopathic Committee on War Effort comes a suggestion which at first glance may be laughed off by many but which in reality is worth thinking about; it is that we should all be in bed by midnight. Many statements have been made by responsible authorities that our health standard is not what it should be, and the nervous and labor strain of these days is working a heavy and increasing toll. The osteopaths point out that more rest is the cheapest and yet most effective answer to this Inroad upon our vitality, and few who study such matters will dis- agree. —Ottawa Journal. DRESSED TURKEYS Turkeys, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board rules, are dress- ed only when they aro bare, It is just another of those mildly con- fusing anomalies, such as the fact that bread rises when it sets, and, in the price of sleeping car ae- somodation, the lower berths aro always higher than the uppers. --Windsor Daily Star. NAZI EMERGENCY If Mr. Churchill suddenly were to take personal command of all the British land forces we should know a grave emergency had arisen. That is what Hitler has done in Germany, and it must be in event of deep significance, —Ottawa Journal, ISN'T IT A SHAME? Berlin correspondent complains that the Russians are attacking the German invaders at night and that Nazi soldiers are "under con- tinuous strain and can find no sleep at all." Now, that's what we'd call downright n.ean. —Windsor Star, TIMELY TID-BIT "Hitler is reported to be search- ing in the state libraries of Paris, in occupied France, for a copy of Napoleon's reputed secret memor- andum, entitled 'How I got out of Russia.'

Airlines In On Emergency Test In September, after a lively tow months, the German High Command said: "Russia as a military power is finished." Last July 2 Dr. Otto Dietrich, the Nazi press chief, sounded off prematurely on the same topic, and wound up with: "I have never misled you," What he said that day Includ- ed: "The power of resistance of the Soviet armies has been brok- en," "Unbelievable chaos has closed over the Soviet armies." "The encircling, dismembering and annihilation of the huge Red forces guarding the road to Minsk and Moscow has been com- pleted." Some other little gems from the Dietrich press conference: "The last Russian army groups are being wiped out."

REG'LAR FELLERS—Mouseproof Theatre of War In Vast Pacific Many Thousands of Islands In Paciflo Brought into The War, Relates The Sault St. Marie Star. This is an amazing war which is now in progress in the Pacific Ocean, ?1r, Churchill, when be announe• ed the opening of the British of- fensive in Libya a few weeks ago, spoke of the operations there being like those of a sea battle, with strategy and tactics being extend. ed over a wide area, But even Mr, Churchill did not at that. thne 7151011 operations of the scope of those now being carried In the vast expanse of water that lies he- twoon Asia and the Americas From Yokohama to ancouver is 4,280 miles and from the sumo Jap. 'mese port to San Francisco is 4,- 526 miles From Yokohama to Honolulu is 8,440 miles, Russia's 1,500 nolo battle lino has seemed a tremendous distance, But it is dwarfed by a war which takes distances such as those In the Pacific. And think of the many thousands of isands which ae scattered over that great area, There are some 7,089 islands in the Philippines, which stretches for a distance of one thousand miles, In Japan, without takhlg into account the territory It holds in China, there aro some 2,322 islands, stretching over 1,600 miles, and having a population of 100,000000 people. In tho Netherlands Indies there are about 2,000 Islands, spread over a territory 3,000 miles In length from Singapore to Borneo Then in ad- dition there are tiro scores and hundreds of islands which owe al- legiance to Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Japan, Aus- tralia, New Zealand which are dot- ted over the map.

Nazis Hide Truth From Own People The Germans are trying to hide from their own people their huge loses in Russia by ressulating obituary notices, asserts London Calling. Since the start of the Russian 0amraign there have been four orders regulating obituaries, it is said. The first prohibited firms and party organi,atio11s from publish- ing them; the second ordered the redaction in size by half; the third limited the number to twenty- five (Lily, and the fourth instruc- ted editors to censor the text.

THE WAR - WEEK -- Commentary on Current bents Allied Heads Meet In Washington To Plan Defeat of Axis Powers "The Prime Minister of Great Britain," said the 1'residentiaL Secretary, Mr. Stephen Evelr on the evening of December 22, "is now with the President, He ar- rived by air and was met by the President at an air station near Washington. Ile was accomlpanied by Lord Beaverbrook and 0 tech- nical staff." ''here is, of course," continued Mr, Early, "one primary objective in the con- versations to he held between the President and the British Priam ]Minister and the respective Staffs of the two countries, That purpose is the defeat of Ilitlerisnt through- out the world, "It should be remembered that many other nations are engaged to -day in this common task, Therefore, the present confer- ences in Washi.igton should be regarded as preliminary to further conferences which will offically include Russia, China, the Neth- erlands and Dominions, It is ex- pected that there will also be in- volved an over-all unity in the conduct of the war, Other nations will be asked to participate in the over-all objective." Issues Involved The problem of co-ordinating the -vast issues involved could be summarized under the following headings: 1. Britain, America, Chinn, Russia and the Netherlands stand unshatterably united against any separate peace with any part of the Axis and they are making the fullest conceivable pledge to each other that only a peace ap- proved by all will be accepted by any. 2, A supreme Allied War Council will be inlnlediately or- ganized to direct the composite strategy against the composite forces of the Axis. The highest and most critical decisions of pol- icy will be settled by common agreement in the interests of the most effective war plan and all the theatres of the fighting will be co-ordinated in the interests of this common strategy. This Is to give effect to Mr, Roose- velt's repeated declarations that the world -scale aggression of the Axis can only be defeated by the world -scale strategy of the Al- lies. 3. There will he an unreserved pooling of the implements of war and they will be dispatched to the fronts where they are most needed in accordance with the necessities of the broadest strat- egy, 4. Russia's entry into the war against Japan will be decided by joint agreement as to when and how it will be most effective. 5. There will be agreement on the essential peace objectives outlined by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr, Churchill in the Atlantic Charter. G. The alliance will not au- tomatically terminate with the conclusion of the war. 1t is de- signed to constitute the beginning of a peace alliance against fur- ther aggression—the beginning of a world policy force to prevent future war. 7, The mechanism. of close consultation is planned to form the basis of economic and social collaboration in the period of post-war reconstruction, Conference in Moscow It is significant that the initia- tive of this Allied Council did not spring; from any single one of its members. It arose almost simul- taneously from all of them, in- cluding strong leadership from Generalissimo Kiang Kai-shek in Chungking. The councils from which the present argument is emerging have been in progress for some time in Washington, in London and in Moscow. Foreign Secretary A111liony Eden and Prime .Minister Joseph Stalin in Moscow have reached an agreement in full on conduct of the war and especially on "the ne- cessity for the utter defeat of Ilitleritc Germany". There IVUs also an exchange of views on questions relating to the post -War organi'/.ation of peace and securi- ty.

If the United States has been found at a disadvantage at cer- tain points in the i'acilie, we know that it is to some extent due to the fact that you have been giving us of your equip- ment for the defence of the Brit- ish Isles, and above all for your help in the Battle of the Atlantic, of which all depends, and which is, in consequence, successfully, and constantly maintained.

Post-war Problem The choice of hew to dispose of our hitherto limited resources had to be made by Britain in a time of war and by the United States in times of peace, and l believe history will pronounce that upon the whole, and it is upon the whole that those mat- ters must be judged, that the chocie made was the right one," Although 111', Churchill stated in Washington that conversation would not include post-war prob- lems, that the present emergency came first, we must consider his words spoken to Congress, "If we hail kept together anter the .last war, if the had taken .common measures for our safety, t',e re- newal of the curse need 'never have fallen on us." After winning the last war to- gether with partnership between Great .Britain was dissolved and each went their respective 'gays, even becoming rivals, The ques- tion of war .debts, the selfishness of British and American commer- cial policy, the (li�artn11111!1t, coin - pact, the lack of accord of the 'Far Eastern Polley all •Woi'!;ed to- gether to break utr the union of the English-speaking peoples, This is the mistake which Mr, Churchill and lir.
