Growth of Spirit
26. "And he said, So is the
knlhtio,» eS God, as if a Miall
should ( St See,) upon the earth;
27. and rh ni!d :lee!) and rise night
and play, and the seed should
spru.: t ;1 and grow, lie knoweth
not how:. 2S. The earth heal eth
fruit of herself; first the blade,
then the ear, then the full grain
in the tar. 2", But when the
fruit is rape, straightway he put-
ted) forth the si;k!e, because t he
harvest i; conic." First the par-
able tells us that there is a mys-
tery to the growing of that which
is sown. flow true this is. With
all of our vast knowledge oil
botany there is one thing that
loan does not know, and that is
how a plant really grows. Second-
ly, there is an emphasis placed
on the .t;'ru.:u:tl growth of the seen
and this, a!so, is true in all nor -
mai, spiritual life. Finally there
is a harvest. There is an end of
growing; a maturity ordained of
God, 1.ife is of God. Growth is
of God, The harvest is of God.
We can co-operate with God, nue
use all those means which Ile has
ordained to bring about that nor-
mal growth in our spiritual lives,
which i, according to His w'i11.
Grain of Mustard Seed
30. "And he said, Hot' shall
we liken the kingdom of God?
or in what parable shall we set
it forth? 31, It is like a grain of
mustard seed, which, when it is
sown upon the earth, though it
be less than all the seeds that are
upon the earth, 32. Yet when it
is sown, groweth up, and beeometh
greater than all the herbs, and
putteth out great branches; so
that the birds of the heaven can
lodge under the shadow thereof."
This parable may be interpreted
as illustrating the phenomenal
growth of the Christian Church,
The growth of the mustard seed,
the smallest of all seeds, is an ab-
normal growth, shooting out
great brances and becoming, as
Luke says, a great tree, It is true
that Christianity did so grow, but
it should be noticed that our Lord
speaks of fowls lodging in the
branches of this large tree, Fowls
everywhere in Scripture have an
unclean significance, They pol-
lute a tree. They do not belong
to the tree itself, This is exactly
what happened in the so-called
"conquest" of the Moman Empire
by Christianity. It became so
powerful that the nations, instead
of opposing it, took shelter in it,
and, therefore, brought pollution
into the Church, worldliness and
the things that pertain to secular
government. By the nations of
the earth finding shelter in Chris-
tianity, and giving it their super-
ficial approval and countenance,
they did not elevate themselves to
the high level of a separated and
sanctified people, but they brought
the Church down toward their
level of carnality and secularity.
Pearl of Great Price
44, "The kingdom of heaven
is like unto a treasure hidden in
the fkld; which a elan found, and
hid; .act in his ,ioy he goeth and
selleth all that lie heti', and buy-
eth that field." One who really
understands the Gospel message
twill be ready to slake any possible
sacrifice that he himself may be-
come an heir of the kingdom, I -Ie
.find., in the Gospel of Christ the
Ching which satisfies his soul,
45, "Again the kingdom of hea-
ven is like unto a man that is a
merchant seeking goodly pearls:
46. and having found one pearl
of great price, he went and solo
all that 1:e had, acrd bought it."
1Vc truly believe that the pearl
of great price is the Church of
Christ, and that it is found in the
whist of human wreckage, is gath-
ered out of il, exalted, and made
the medium through which the in-
finite truth of God's met. and
wisdom shall be resettled.
17, "Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a net, that en:
east into the sea, and gathered of
every kind: 48. \;hash, when it was
filled, they drew up on the beach:
and they salt down. and gathered
the good into vessels, but the bad
they cast away. 49. So shall it
be in the end of the world: The
nngels shall come forth, and '.'ver
the wicked from emeng• the right-
eous, 50. and shall cast thein into
the .fureace of fire: there shall be
the weeping and the gnashing' of
teeth." This parable, addressrrl
to the di,ciples, was mainly art•

Shortly before the close of trad-

"What's wrong?"
"Wrong?" yelled Manson.
"Plenty. My wife said burglars

Looking back over this chapter

hopefulness and confidence of

An Interpretation
Of Conscription
It is to be hoped that the fol-
lowing confused bit of convelsa•
tion is not an example of the
thinking being (lone on the sub-
ject of conscription in Canada at
the present time. This conversa-
tion tvelled forth a few days ago
from a lady who complained that
her brother was wounded in the
last war,
"it was conscription that ca:tse(1
it," she said. "\ly brother was
wounded in November of 1917.
You see he went up into the
woods to avoid conscription and
a hunter mistook hint for a deer,"
Something to Remember

RADIO REPOIITER
DIALING WITH DAVE;
MART KENNEY
This is Mart Kenney, Canada's
outstanding modern maestro, who
is really 'on the air' these days
in no uncertain terms! Monday
night at 10 o'clock, he broadcasts
a half hour show on the National
Network for the Victory Loan; on
Wednesday at 9.30, his regular
weekly CRC Feature 'Sweet and
Low,' and on Friday and Saturday
nights at 11.15, broadcasts thru
CKOC's facilities from the Brant

privileged to be with the National
Network carrying the Monday and
Wednesday night shows!
Interesting sidelight on radio
auld Hollywood! Glamorous Lana
Turner is dated by Bob Stack,
young Hollywood luminary; they
dance to Tommy Dorsey', great
music: they lunch at Dorsey's
table, and when the dance is over
Dorsey takes Lana honk, Accord -
Ing to Stack, it's a swell idea and
works fine! Pe•hatps the pay-off
is 'Tommy's wonderful music—at
any rate, and as a footnote, you
hear the "Seltimellta. Gentlemen

Perhaps one of the most inter-
estina things about a great star
is her versatility! 'fake Ona Mun-

one of the top actresses, and when
Hollywood wants a Belle Watling
for a 'Gone tvitlt the Wind,' or
some other outstanding chatac-
terization, the call goes out to
Ona Allinson -- and — she always
conies thru! As Lorelei in the
Big 'Town' radio series, she has

What Science
Is Doing
WEATHER 'SIGNS'
Quito a good many of the old-
fashioned "signs" have good scien-
tific warrant, even though others
lack solid foundations, says Sci-
ence Service,
Back of the old jingle, "Iced
in the night, sailors' delight; red
In the morning, sailors take warn-
ing," is the truth that bright sun-
sets usually cone during periods
of settled weather, while a red.
dened sun (at any time of day)
indicates the presence of moisture -
laden particles in the air, that
may later precipitate rain or snow.
Even at sunset, a bleary, reddened
sun (as distinguished front red -
tinted clouds) may warn of a
storm to come.
A rising column of smoke from
a chimney is another fairly re-
liable "sign" of fair or clearing
weather. It means that the air
is dry, whereas smoke that goes
up and thein eome8 down again
shows that the air is heavy with
moisture which the soioke par-
ticles gather unto themselves until
they are so heavy that they sink,
A ring around the moon, or to
be academically precise, a halo,
is another fairly dependable wea-
ther "sign." So is a fuzzy or
blurry appearance of Moon or
stars. These appearances are due
to the interception of light by
thin clouds running ahead of tut
approaching general storm :arca.
There is, however, 110 truth
whatever in the belief that the
crescent moon "holds" rain if its
horns are pointed upward, "pours''
rain if they point downward,
'those phenomena are purely as-
tronomical, and have nothing to
do with conditions on earth, 'I'lae
saute holds true for the pusitio1.

Convert Sea Water
Into Drinking Water
The most fascinating piece of
equipment to be installed in three
new trans-Atlrullie flying boats
being built for American Export
Airlines is a still for converting
sett water into drinking water,
says Business 1Veek, 'These stills
are to be standard e(luipment int
the planes' collapsible lifeboats.
The still operates on solidified
fuel in cans, cath one of which
will burn Ivor two hours, time
enough to distill a quart of water,
The condenser is a flexible tube
which is thrown overboard so that
sea water cools the stearal and thus
converts it into drinking water.
The fuel can be used for cooking,
too, ,aid the water container be-
comes a pressure cooper. 1'o bo
able to carry the ingenious de-
vice, Americas Export Airlines
had to take out a regular New
York State distiller's licence.

"The Fifth Column
And Hitler's Tricks"
Filth columnists are potentially
more menacing than airplanes and
tank.,, said Robert Goffin, noted
Belgian lawyer and writer, when
addressing members of L'Alliance
Francaise at the Chateau Laurier
not long ago.
Speaking on the topic, "The
Fifth Column and Hitte'r's '!'ricks,"
Mr, Goffin, who fled from Bel-
gium just before it,5 capitulation,
told his audience of some of the
dramatic events which led to the
fall of his native country. He
related how fifth columnists had
established secret lam 1 C8 110119
in his country and had been
transmitting secret information to
the enemy long before Gocmany
decided to invade Belgium. The
Germans were in posses: ion of
plans of the noun fortification
line and of every airport to such
an extent that resistance to in-
vasion could not hold out any
length of time.

THE WAR • WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events
Loss Of Singapore Increases Peril
To Dutch East Indies and Burma
Four years ago Great Britain's
mighty naval base at Singapore
was officially opened. At that
time, it was declared by experts
to be an impregnable bastion of
British power and prestige in the
Far East, 'Today the power and
the prestige are lost.
Japan became the master of
Singapore one week after the Mi-
kado's forces began to storm the
island, and nine weeks a fter they
began their drive from bases in
Thailand and Indo-China on down
the Malay peninsula to their goal
at Singapore, It was a brilliantly
planned and executed campaign.
Not since the fall of Prance has
the Allied cause suffered such a
severe blow. The loss of the Gi-
braltar of the East i a catastro-
phe to the United Nations and an
immeasureahle gain to the Jap-
anese. The land, sea and air
forces, perhaps 200,000 men,
used in the capture of the strong-
hold, are now freed to concent-
rate on Sumatra and Java, the
last barriers on the way to Burma
and India.
Peril In Burma
They Allied armies in Burma
have been forced to retreat but
reinforcements are arrivil.g. The
planes of the R,A.F. and the
American Volunteer Group (or-
iginally organized to guard the
Burma Road) are playing au iuf
portant part in the fighting. They
have shown recently that in one
theatre at least the Japanese have
not won air superiority,
Large Chil.eac forces composed
of seasoned fighters with four
years' experience of war Iwo. re-
cently arrived from the north to
bolster Imperial defences in the
Burma region.
In Allied quarters it is feared
that Japanese reinforcements
will be sent to the front north of
Malaya where a comparatively
small Japanese amy is advancing
toward the vita. port of Rangoon,
It is on the docks at !algoon that
.,upplies are unloadec: for Free
China. The , enearl outlook is
far from favorable. The men-
ace to Burma has far-reaching
significances. This rich British
Crown Colony is a barrier of In-
dia and a gateway to China. The
importance of the colony is evi-
dent, not only in increas ng Japa-
nese pressure and Allied rein-
forcements, but in the temporary
presence at the front of General
Sir Archibald Wavell, generalis-
simo of the United Nations in the
Far East.
Battle In Dover Strait
Three German fighting ships,
62,000 tons of striking force,
have escaped from the harbor of
Brest under cover of foggy wea-
ther and a heavy smoke screen,
With a powerful escort of destroy-
ers, minesweepers, motor torpedo
boats and air squadrons, they
faded at top speed for the Strait
of Dover and the North Sea. They
d red the sea power of Britain
In its home waters and after a
great sea battle lasting for five
hours made their escape to Ger-
man waters,
Mr. Churchill has declared that
Britain's war position has been
simplified by the removal of the
German warships front Brest. He
gives the following reasons:
(1) A threat to British convoy
routes has been removed, and the
enemy has been forced to leave
an advantageous position.
(2) fhe diversion of Britain's
air bombing effort front Germany
to th port of Brest, which, though
necessary, has been so wasteful,
Is now ended, and a heavier scale
of attack on Germany from the
air is now p.,sible,
(3) The Scharnhorst and the
Gneisennu received damage dur-
ll.g the run from Brest which will
keep them out of action for some
time to conte,
(4) ,:(:lore those warships can
again go to sea to take any active
part in the war, the Royal Navy
will be reinforced by various im-
portant units of the highest qual-
ity, and a similar strengthening
process is going forward :n the
Navy of the United States,
Plea For Unity
The British Prime Minister's
recent broadcast was in the es-
sential points an appeal to the
nation and Parliament to stand
firm and give the government n
solid foundation for its work.
When he surveyed the power of
the United States and its resour-
ces and felt that they were now
"in it with the British ('oniInon-
weaith. all together, however long
It lasts, until 'lea, or victory,"
Mr. Churchill said ,ha( this was
the fit st and greatest event he
had to report to the British people.
"That is what I have dreamed
of, aimed at and worked for and
now it has enhie to pas,t,"
Churchill said.
But at the same time he hal-
anced tl.t' good of the ,atest wa:
development,-- in \':hied he in-
cluded :he efforts of Russia ---
against the heavy ami gru\e
events else ,:hurl'. And frankly
telling 'he people tlurxl.:lit the
world Lilt he s' i In '`under the
"1i, of a li(a•.y al :Ir-lenCii-
Ing military defeat", the loss of
Singapore --Mr. Churchill went on
to call for a spirit of unity and
new exertions in this dark hour.
Adverse news "o" many misfor-
tunes and gnawing anxieties" lay
before us, Mr. Churchill said but
from that t cry fact he invoked a
new spirit of toughness from the
people who March Against the
Axis.
'Phis is the moment," ile con-
cluded, "to display tha. calm and

reverses with dignity and with

HORSE AND BUGGY LOVE
Looking back over the years, we

buggy days, making love in the
moonlight was far and away hot-

ceremonial than anything the

the boys and girls of this genera-

necessary a generation ago. If the
youths of today were acquainted
with these delights of which we
are speaking, they would not he -
moan the possible passing of the
pleasure car, Getting back to old
ways would be a prospect alto-
gether pleasing. We have but one
suggestion to make: That it is just
as easy to pick the wrong girl in
a buggy as in an automobile,

NEW EXPORT FIELD
Formation of a Bean Growers'
Association should open the way
to a new, profitable market for
Western Ontario farmers. The
growers are acting promptly on
the suggestion of Hon, J. G. Gar-
diner to prepare to ship dried
beans to Britain, from which has
come a request for this form of
food.
This is another product which
this district is in a splendid posi-
tion to supply. It adds to the
variety of the goods which we
can send to Britain, and the new
market will be of benefit both to
our farmers and to the Old Land.

A Weekly Column About This and That in The Canadian Army
A few columns back this space
was devoted to that branch of the
Individual Citizen's Army admin-
istered by the Master General of
the Ordnance. It was remarked
that there would be more coming
on ;,his subject.
Now, following the arrive. in
Great Britain of an Advance party
of the First Canadian Base Ord-
nance Workshop, seems to be a
good time to re -open the subject.
"Biggest" stens to be the con-
trolling adjective for pieces about
the M,G,O.'s branch, First we had
the biggest mail-order house —
now comes this new Base Ord-
nance Workshop which is without
question the biggest repair and
service station in the world,
But It isn't so much the new
workshop I want to talk about as
the unconventionality that char-
acterized its formation.
Unconventionality is as much a
trade mark of the M.G.O. branch
as are superlative adjectives,
Which is just as well since this is
an unconventional war.
Prime piece of unconventional-
ity, of course, is the heading of
the most rapidly expanding branch
of the Canadian Army by a civil-
ian. As you know there was a
precedent for that in English his-
tory.
Now, and this brings us back
to the Mase Ordnance Workshop,
here is another example of the
type of unconventionality that is
going to help us win the war.
Overnight an ex -private, who hall
made his name a big one in the
so
operation of peace -time mechan-
ized vehicles, wits promoted to
l,iue.enant-Colonel and appointed
to conn .and an army organization
for which no pattern existed. The
ex -private, who had been too busy
In the years between wars to
carry on in the militia, was G. A,
Second, of Toronto, One day he
was Mr. Second, operator of the
Hertz Drive Yourself System, the
next he was Lt. -Col. G. A. Secord,
officer commanding the First
Canadian Base Ordnance Work-
shop.
Isere is an amusing' paradox.
The man responsible for this lat-
est unconventionality is Victor
Sifton, Winnipeg newspaperman
and Master -General of the Ord-
nance --who reversed the process
when he was appointed to his
present position,
How come? If you'll stand for
a 1)8(1 pall the answer is, "comae
ca."
When Lieut. -Colonel Sifton
first volunteered his services for
the duration of the war he was
appointed Executive Assistant to
the Minister of National Defence
and his mine is still painted on
the opaque glass of an office door
on the same floor as Col. Ralston's
office,
The legend reads: "Executive
Assistant, Lieut. -Col, Sifton." For
economy reasons it was obliterat-
ed by a sheet of paper pasted over
it when Sifton took over the
M.G,O. job.
But when he took over the new

But as they all let out an exuber-

"Who's A'Ir, Busch?" Tommy
asked.
"The district leader. IIe's the

"Tough customer, eh?" Tommy
grabbed Barbara Jo. "Come on

Cut Simon J. Busch down, Tom-

had never had happen before, An

mineral and vitamin content. They
contain a great dead of vitamin
C, and they have a start -the -
day -right value. Totnuto juice is
also very popular for breakfast
as well as for other meals of the
day.
Cereals dt'y or cooked nowadays
offer u wide variety, The cooked
000011ls have been so improved
that they all will fit very nicely
into the from five to fifteen min-
ute cooking category. The dry
cereals, too, offer such a choice
that nearly everyone can find
something appetizing for their
different tastes.
In the interest of the so neces-
sary food milk, a beverage Made
with mill( should be emphasized.
If one wishes a more liberal
breakfast, retain the fruit and
cereal courses and add bacon or
eggs or both.
Whatever favourite sweetener
you use with toast, muffins or
rolls, whether it be honey, molas-
ses, jelly or marmalade, it is high
in food value. Valuable minerals
as wc11 as energy are supplied by
most of these sweets,

A famine of appalling, propor-
tions has been caused in Greece
by Gel mans who have stripped the

Under Secretary of State Sumner
Welles.
In response to questions, Welle

famine had been reaching the
•
United States Government for a
long time from Americans who
had seen conditions at first -Bund,
from neighboring countries and
from the Greek Legation in Watsh-
ington.
Ile said the Germans had taken
every hit of food and left the
Greeks to star'v'e. The infant (nor•
talky was a shocking commentary
on Nazi 110111lletnt of the Greeks,
be said.
Some food is being sent to
Greece through Turkey under
British auspices. Welles said he
hoped that anis would relieve
famine conditions,
