And by the way, it’s ready-cooked and ever so easy to serve for breakfast or lunch. I just pour milk or cream over the biscuits. On cold mornings I heat the' milk ^it makes a most deli­ cious hot cereal, and with fruit it’s a treat at any time.” SHREDDED WITH ALL THE BRAN OF THE WHOLE WHEAT Professor—“Can you« give me an example of a commercial appliance used in ancient times?’/ Student—“Yes sir, the loose leaf system used in the Garden of Eden.’’ FINLAY—COIJANG An interesting wedding took place in.

Harvey. Chosen Master. Farmer for 1930 by a distinguished committee of agri­ cultural representatives, his many friends and acquaintances were de- sir'ious of‘commemorating this signal event. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey were former residents of this community before moving to the‘west. Covers were laid for one hundred and thirty guests, extras having to toe accommodated; .Following a half-hour of dinner music, Chairman! J. R. Near, of Pinkham, vice-presi­ dent S.R.M.A., took charge of the program by calling ior the singing of, “O Canada.” Grace was pro­ nounced by Rev. J. B. Howe, of Flaxcomibe. Tables were prettily •decorated with flowers and a deli­ cious turkey dinner was catered by the Canada Cafe. The chairman’s address, which followed the banquet, gave a concise outline of the Master Farmer move­ ment, as originated by the Nor’-West Farmer, its clear statement of detail in this respect making a congrous introduction for the succeeding events of the evening. The next speaker, Mayor C. R. S. Stewart, brought greetings from the- Town of Kindersley and referred to many years of pleasant association with Mr. Harvey on the Kindersley Hospital Board. He was followed by A. S. Henning representing the Kindersley District Builders, and Mr. Poc-ock, president of the Kindersley Agricultural So­ ciety, which society nominated Mr. Harvey for the Master. Farmer re­ ward. <Mr. Asa Heise, Saskatoon Junior considered this an locality alone but well. He reminisced'on the modesty of Mr. Harvey, and recalled how whole-heartedily lie had served as member of the Legislative Assembly in Regina, At this stage a pleasant break was made in the program of speeches with vocal solos by Mr. Herschel Moyer, of Alask, who sang “Three for Jack,” and Mrs. John Wenmouth of Craigilands, who sang “If All the Stars were Mine.” Both artists’ were generously applauded and re­ sponded with encores. Followed the presentation ol' an. illuminated address to Mr. Harvey, read and presented by Mr. Robert Down, and a beautiful bouquet of carnations and daffodils presented, to Mrs, Harvey by Miss Margaret Reid. Seated at the head table were Mr. and Mrs, Robert Down, of Flax- combe, 'and Dr. Maurice* Harvey and his wife Dr. Ruth Harvey, of Alask. Voicing the gratitude and plea sure he and his family found ii these marks of esteem and friend Ship, Mr. Harvey, in his reply, said that his -principal object when lie first came to this country was to make a permanent home for him­ self and family,. Those who came to farm temporarily, get-rich-quick and leave, had in many cases not been nearly so . secret of that it lay in three things. Faith, industry and eo-operatten. Mr. Har­ vey recalled the happy community spirit that prevailed in the pioneer days and gave soipe humorous , il­ lustrations. In closing he paid fine tribute to his wife, sons and ‘daugh­ ters, without whose, support, he said, the fine- measure of success obtain­ ed by him would not have been pos­ sible', ■ The guest speaker of the evening was Dean Shaw, of the University, one of the judges in the Master Fanner award. In. his opening re­ marks he said- there had never been any doubt in the minds of the judges as to Mr. Harvey winning Hie honor, he having easily scored- the necessary 900 or mare (out of 1000) marks. As a subject for his discourse he chose “world markets” with partic­ ular reference to Canada. He said he would and could not prescribe any cure-all fpr present conditions but he did advise one thing: The selling abroad of our best grades of wheat only, which grades woul'd al­ ways command a premium in the world’s markets; and the conversion of the inferior grades at home into bacon, eggs, butter and cheese. The selling of our inferior grades of wheat abroad was a mistake as any amount -of like variety was grown in other countries, but Canada alone held monoply of the high grades. Canada can produce1 tile finest quality in farm commo­ dities but ,of late- had allowed these markets to lapse. Instance: Den­ mark: supplies Great Britain with 65 per cent, of her bacon, a market once held' by Canada. Saskatche­ wan butter grades the highest in the world, Ontario cheese ranks se­ cond to none. The remedy w£s not the grow less but to absorb the in­ ferior grades into commodities that can command' top-notch prices.' A quiet speaker, the remarks of the Dean were followed throughout with the closest interest. A community sing-song led by A. H. Stoll Steiner and Reg. Smallwood a request solo byMir. ,Moyer. “Ship­ mate O' Mine,” then God Save the King, brought to ’a close a success­ ful evening’s entertainment, success­ ful in the fact that it was dedicated to the finest ideals in Canadian Cit­ izenship.

Sunday School Lesson THE PRODIGAL SON (Sunday, April 12.—Luke 15. .1 president of the Board of Trade, honor not to this to Saskatoon as have they been able to auawer from that day to this. Then followed the parable of the prodigal son, one of those fifty­ eight items found only in the Gos­ pel of Luke, and not reported by Matthew, Mank or John. Outstanding facts in the parable are there: A fathei’ of wealth and lovo, A selfish son. A sinful son, A '.selfish son separated from his father by sin, A stayvinig son. The selfish, sinful, separated and starv­ ing son, becomes a sensible eon. Forgiven and restored, he is a saved son, This wonderful salvation makes him a satisfied son. (So the prodigal son may be des­ cribed by these seven iS’s: Selfish, 'Sinful, Separated, (Starved, Sensible, Saved, Satisfied. The late Ada Habershon’s valu­ able book, “The Study of the Par­ ables,”. give some richly suggestive interpretations and applications of this parable, including the follow­ ing: » “Dean Burgon wrote: ‘Under the- image of a son who remained in his father's house the favored descen­ dants of Abraham are set before us, while the rest of the world is por­ trayed in the person or another son who goes into a far country and there wastes his substance with riotpus living .... In the embrace which the father (while yet the offending but repen­ tant son is a long way off) runs to bestow, behold how God loved the world.' ” , * The condition of blessing, under God’s grace, is that we should have nothing in order that we may receive everything. The book mentioned note^ that spiritual bankruptcy, when' acknowledged, is the first step toward blessing. The prodigal, when lie had spent all, and begun to be in want, came to himself and then came to his father. He never thought of leaving the far country whilst his funds lasted.” Interesting lessons in prayer ar£ brought out by Miss Habershon in the parable of the prodigal son. The younger man offered a prayer that should never have been offered: “Father, give me the portion of goods that falletli to me.” He want­ ed this in order to use it wrongly.. So James warns against such pray­ er; “Ye ask;‘amiss, tliat ye may con­ sume it upon your lusts” (Jas. 4:3.) Sometimes God teaches us lessons by answering prayers that we never ought to have offered, with the prodiigaj, and with Israel: “And He their request; but sent to their soul” (P,sa. 106:15.) The prodigal composed a prayer that he never offered (Luke 15: 18, 19): and he never that God ly above (Eph. 3; The: picture of the elder brother in the parable js a despicable one— -and a very natural one. It describes the self-righteous, proud, heartless, Pharisees; and it is to be feared that it describes all of us by nature. The elder brother was outraged by the welcome his father was giving to the younger son. But there was a sufficient reason for the father’s joy: and and It Gojlden Text There is joy in the .presen'ce the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.—Luke '15': 10. We should -^remember why the Lord* told the 'parable o’f the prodi­ gal son. It is one of three parables' carrying a similiar lesson, and told because of a certain criticism against Christ by the Pharisees and scribes. As the Lord went on , with His public teaching and -preaching, there “drew near unto Him all the' publi­ cans and sinners for to hear Him.” Publicans were despised as grafters feeding on gains, ill-gotten from their fellow meh. .“Sinners” included the dregs of society, both men and we're the people who crowded upon the Son of God to hear Him. The “righteous” Jewish leaders murmur­ ed', saying: “This Man. receiveth sin­ ners, and ..eateth with them.” They couldn’t stand it—these respectable church folks, intellectually ortho­ dox and spirtually dead. • The Lord answered them by telling three ables. The first was that of the sheep, showing self-evident fact man having one hundred sheep of which was. lost, would leave ninety and nine that were safe go after the lost one until he of par- lost, that any one the and found it; and when he found it, he would bring it home rejoicing, and ask his friends to rejoice with him: “For I have found my sheep which 'where lost.” So a woman having ten pieces of silver, if she should lose one, would go tirelessly through the house, ■sweeping out every room’and hunt­ ing with lighted candle till the lost piece was found; she would then call her friends and neighbors and ask them to rejoice with her. Both these .parables ended with the words: “There is joy in the pres­ ence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” The beauty of our Lord’s parables is that they are- so transparently clear, s0 over­ whelmingly convincing, that they are unanswerable. His enemies could not answer Him in that day, nor successful, Asked for the his success’ he would reply W Exetrr lOatablbib0d 187?
