Sheall' does not A literal translation of “The Lord’s Prayer” given to the people by Jesus when they asked him how they should pray is quite different from the present-day . English ver­ sion. But. the, meaning is substan­ tially the game. , ... Vl K.. For example, Jesus did not use the word ‘heaven’; instead He said “dvash-ma-ya”, meaning ‘universe’. Aqd, the prayer; ended u with the three Aramaic words: “la-lam .al­ min a-men”, for which the present day English translation is: ‘from ages to ages, sealed in truth’. {Note that ‘seal eel in truth’ is the*correct translation for ‘Amen’). The chief (overlooked teachers) is petition to followed by tinct promises made by the indiv­ idual offering the prayer to the Father, and which he finishes with a most sacred and profound person-' al oath oi’ pledge ‘sealed in truth’. In telling people how to pray, Jesus said, in effect—‘make • no prayer to the Father without at the same time making him a pro­ mise of what YOU PROPOSE to do in return for the privilege of mak­ ing the prayer’. On Friday, February 28th, Christian .Churches throughout world were praying for peace most of them- were making a cere and earnest petition—yet— some no doubt neglected the vital truth that Jesus taught; namely, that we—-each of us individually, not colleciti.vely—ishould make a promise tp the Father of what w« will do in return.

Of course, it was chiefly Jewish or He­ braic’ but scholars know it as a dia­ lect called ‘Aramaic’. In His time, transportation was slow so large group’s of Jewish people did not mingle with these from other sections in Palestine. Naturally, the Jews living on the .sea coast came in contact with na­ tives' of other countries and in. an effort to make -themselves under­ stood, picked up some of their language—those living inland but on caravan' or trade routes, picked up some Arabic, Persian and even Hindu. This resulted in many separate and distinctive Hebrew dialects. If the Bible had been written or­ iginally in one dialect its transla­ tion would have been simplified. However, the manuscripts for the different Books had to be trans­ lated from a number of different Jewish dialects as well as from as many as seventeen other tongues used in surrounding countries. * the dis- the will Pert and Pertinent “Girls' ideals are more than often shattered”—-reports a writer. —well, ‘shattered’ is just anoth­ er word for being broke. “It is rare to meet in contem­ porary fiction a single character one would care to be found dead with.” comments a New York book critic. —ain’t it the truth!

He is no back­ door diplomatist or warrior or anything else. Just now he is knocking per.emptorily on Hitler’p front door, . Hitler has been kicking up -nastiness in his own back yard, that is in interfering with Britain’s fri.ends, and John Bull does not like it. Hence his concen­ trated, efforts on Hitler’s eastern and southern boundaries. Hitler does not like this. For this reason the dictator has slowed down on his bombing operations -in England, is making a. mighty drive for the Dardanelles and the Suez -canal with his eye on India. Hitler and his evil, crowd would feel surprised if. foreign armies were to march on Berlin from the east and the south. In any case, Germany will never know much -about war till her own territory is invaded and Germans drink long and effectually from the bottle they have held so long to the lips of a horrified but undismayed world. ■ • ■ .* . * * *. * * * * • MUST WE COME TO IT? Must Canada se.ek and find a dictator, and that speedily? The ideal way, we- may suppose, is for Canada 'to put forth7her war ef­ fort by distributing war work and responsibility. A dozen heads, may be expected to have more wisdom than -one. True, but so often one lame duck -holds up the flock. Just now we have manufacturers, say, of airplanes, who are away ahead of schedule in manufactur­ ing their parts of these machines. There are other manufacturers who are away behind in the production expected of them. Now ah airplane without an engine is useless. Wanting wings, it can­ not take flight. It is right here that a dictator may serve with dis­ tinction. Wellington and Kitchener and Lord Roberts did their work because they would brook no interference and no delay. These -men put up with no excuses. By observing this1 simple rule they saved tens of thousands of lives and whole mines full of treasure. There are far.too many who lie down on the job, who should be com­ pelled to be up and doing, and doing punctually. , ******** THE PEN VERSUS THE SWORD ’ Sir Anthony Eden’s fine diplomatic service is worthy of the highest praise. He went to the Balkans and to Egypt with, pacific in­ tentions but with no purpose of surrendering any British right. If fair play tcould be maintained by- pacific means no drop of blood would be shed. If pacific means failed, he was prepared to place the blame for strife* squarely on the shoulders that invited trouble. He backed the. pen by the sword, as we are bound to do in a world as it is now constituted. Among nations bent on bluff he acted as a statesman who made statements by which he was prepared to stand, and which he believed that his nation had the power and the will to defend. This attitude has brought results. Let us not for­ get, however, that conditions change over night and that'the agree-’ ment entered into today may require to be replaced by another by tomorrow. Sir Anthony Eden is well aware of this and guides his course accordingly. Things simply do not remain put. As a na­ tion’s responsibilities are, so must her policy be. ******** THE QUIESCING OF THE O.A.C. Can Ontario afford to have the O.A.C. go into silence, even for 'a brief period? There are a great many farmers who think that it should not do so. Research work is being done within its walls that is ot inestimable value. And research work is the real contribution this college^ is making to agriculture. In times like these, when agriculture is in transition this research Work is of more value than ever it was. The farming of ten years hence will not be the farming Of today. If the method of the agriculture -of those iieW days is to be an improvement upon the methods of this hour >it will depend upon the research work now being done in schools like the O.A.C. The swine of sixty years ago are not the swine we now have. Had not research and science given lead to the Canadian swine ihdastry, the Canadian farmer would have been hopelessly our of the running. The changes in this industry in the next twenty years will be as great as they have been in of that date\be limping in It depends more than any carried on in the O.A.C. * * * * the last twenty years.

She’ll be busier tomorrow. And her business is to win the good will of every country in South America by giving to the youth of South America the brightest and most attractive books appealing to the youth of these countries in behalf of what Germany regards as good in German life. This is her method of winning the South American continent to herself. She sees that when the war is over she’ll need friehds outside of Europe. She’ll need lands to exploit. She’ll re­ quire people ready to accept her way, people who do not know the sort of evil creature she is. All these opeh doors ishe believes that she may find in South America, can she but mislead the children and youth of that mighty continent. What is Canada doing in the meantime to secure the confidence of our South American potential friends? Surely Canadian inven­ tion will not fall down in a matter so important. Canada needs friends, both now and when tomorrow comes. Foresight is better than hindsie-hf. Whv sbonM not Canada got in on the ground floor in an enterprise so important? Is ithere a place op the market fox’ dairy butter? There certainly Js, provided hattermaker will play fair round. Here is the experience of fanner and his wife. Little litle,. pver a term of years, they had built up a herd of 12 good working Jerseys, fiach cow was tested for * T.B. and for Bang’s disease and proven free and clean and otherwise healthy. The 100- acre farm was given over to but­ termaking, hog raising and poultry culture. The farmer and his wife and son and daughter were con­ tent to, settle „ down to this line and to keep right at It. With the exception of concentrates the feed for the cows was produced on the farm. With the exception of feed­ ing for special times and when the farm produce accidentally ran short, ithe feed for hogs and poultry was produced on those 100 acres. Ten acres of farm were net apart annually for pasture, though the cows were fed at least once a day in the stable, preferably immed­ iately after milking and before being turned put for the night. A feed of chop was given the cows as they icame up for milking in morning. When the weather excessively hot the cows were en the run of the barnyard shelter. Besides they were kept in and fed when cold rains were mak- 1 ing outside going unpleasant,. ‘‘What special method do you ■follow?” I asked, for I had learned that this farmer was highly suc­ cessful in the making of -dairy but­ ter. . ' Go by the Bules “There is nothing special about it,” he replied. “I simply go by the rules. As we were settling down to this sort of thing I went to Guelph and watched the process of butter­ making. I noticed that cleanliness and care were the principal things they observed. They told me some things they regarded as essential; So we allow no dirt to get into the milk. for it as best we can. As soon as the milk is drawn from the udder we get it putside the stable where np dust is flying. We have a pow­ er separator that we clean on every using. We cool the cream forth­ with, using good well water and stirring. Before we add the new 'cream to. the cream can, we stir the old cream thoroughly, though not roughly. We then keep the cream at the. temperature of fresh well water. Before we churn we bring the cream to the temperature we like best and then churn with our revolving churn and then get the butter into prints and then to the coolest place we can find.” “But other folks do all that?” "Perhaps,” he replied with smile, but we make no allowances for hurry or for anything like that. For instance, whens it icomes to cleanliness, we go in for doing everything extra well. We brush and scrub and scald a little more .than the directions call for. We watch our temperatures of the cream and the churning. We are just as particular about feeding time and milking time. This is a lot of hard work, but that is all we know1 about it. We must have everything iclean. Then we never feed our cows any highly-seasoned or loud-smelling stuff. Work and everlasting watch­ ing must be done in dairy farming.” “Your marketing?” “We have ho private customers. Our dealer has built up a trade with some customers who prefer dairy butter and we sell to him and to him only. These customers -do not mind paying enough extra to pay as for our additional labor. This dealer handles our eggs. We See to it that he gets none but properly graded ones.

He found a hole had been bored in the side of the pinball contrap­ tion with a gimlet. The hole was just big enough to permit passage of a wire. With the wire the “patrons manipulated the payoff spots on the board so as to blow in the small electric lights. Then they claimed the prizes.

Moffat, of London, against Owen, and Ira Geiger, father and son, of Hensail, has been given by Judge Costello. The action arose out of a lease by which Geiger and Son rented 107 acres of Plaintiff’s farm in Stanley Township for the purpose of growing flax. The rental was $858.08 for 1940 and there was a credit of $630. Defendants main­ tained that part of the land was poorly-drained ,and unsuitable for flax, growing, some flax was nevei’ harvested. The court held, how­ ever, that 1940 was a particularly wet season and flax crops were, thus adversely affected.
