Pia) and 'Pray for them, which
despitefully use you, and verse-
cute you, Matt. 5:44.
The command, "Thou shalt not
kill," is the first in the second
series of five. This series has to
do with our relation to our fel-
lowmen, It does not forbid the
killing of animals, capital pun-
ishment or killing enemies in
battle, For most people there is
a natural shrinking from killing
an animal Yet, if an animal is
about to kill one of our loved
ones, we take action speedily.
As for capital punishment we
read in Genesis 9:5,6: "At the
band of every man's brother will
I require the life of a man, Who-
so sheddeth man's blood, by man
shall his blood be shed; for in
the image of God made he man,"
Any alternative to it and the
murderer may have the oppor-
tunity to take yet another life,
As for war, we all hate the
thought of it, As I write this, we
are passing through Richmond,
Virginia, where Patrick Henry
made the notable epeech con-
taining the expression, "Give ma
liberty or give medeath." To-
day, we are inclined to take a '-
very careful look at the liberty
before we will risk our lives °t4
achieve it.
Jesus points to the sin in man's
heart that always precedes mur-
der. He pronounces pudgment
upon it. He points out the prop-
er way for religious persons to
solve difficulties with their bro-
thers. Bettet to negotiate than
have someone hold a grudge
against you.
The drinking driver is the
chief agent in today's fearful
slaughter on the highways. More
emphasis should be placed on
punishing the man who drinks
and then drives, rathre than
waiting until after the tragedy.
Life is precious. Once it has
fled, it cannot be recalled. The
man who shortens his life, by al-
cohol, nicotine, drugs or any
other reckleses way of living, is
his own worst enemy. He should
surrender-himself to Jesus Christ
and. then he will spend his life
happily and for the glory.of God.

The Choice Is Yours
And Yours Alone
Adolf Eichmann has been Sen-
tenced, ,
In his role as Chief of the Gess
tapo's Bureau for Jewish Affairs,
lie was directly responsible for
shipping millions of Jews to their
death in Nazi extermination
camps under the infamous Hitler
regime, .
The court ruled: "The laws of
humanity are binding on indi vi-
duals. The guilt of Germany as
a state does not detract one iota
from the personal responsibility
of the accused,"
And therein lies a thought that
every civilized citizen in the
world ought to ponder seriously,
No person, as a free moral
agent, is bound by any power
outside himself to violate his
own conscience. If he is caught
up in some sinister movement or
plot, he has allowed himself to go
with the, tide....
Young people, especially,
should seriously think this issue
through. It is so easy to follow
the crowd, when one's better
judgment says not to. It Is so
easy to set aside the principles
one has been brought up to. be-
lieve in, and submit to the pop-
ular notions and patterns of the
group....
Many an individual who Cone'
would never harm another per-
son has found himself commit-
ting 'violence in a mob. Never-
theless, such a one is individually
responsible. He cannot blame
iii the ob for his participation. ..
The beginning of Eichmann's
downfall was' the day he ex-
changed his individual judgment
for the notions of the crowd he'
was traveling with, the day he
sacrificed his status as a free
moral agent for that of a, cog in
a machine.
And the choice was his and his
alone to make. - The Boulder
(Colorado) Daily. Camera,
• On a Plateau
In Nyasaland
Game paths run everywhere,
criss-crossing the Minded slopes
and skirting the summits of high,
er rockier hills, Dniker reed,
buck., eland, roan antelope and
zebra leave their imprints on the
narrow red trails, Some of the
towns are pitted with small hol-
lows of bare earth where,'zebra
have scraped away the turf.
There they delight to roil at their
ease, stirring tip the dust Into
small red clouds which quickly
disperse in the wind. They are a
kind of zebra found only on the
Nyika, and as they graze placidly
in little groups of five or six,
their brown-looking stripes blend
perfectly with their surround-
ings. The heads and short-maned
necks of these beautiful animals
are just like those of the knight
pieces in a game of chess, espe-
cially when they raise their
heads to watch the movements of
some passer-by on a distant ridge.
Rounding a corner on a narrow
track, the traveler may come
upon a large herd of eland strung
out along a steep hillside, all
heads turned in one direction at
the sight or sound of humans,
No shooting is allowed these
.days, so the eland do not fear be-
ing silhouetted against the sky-.
• line where they form a striking
frieze of handsome heads and
-"slanting horns, The great bull of
the herd stands watching the on-
comer while the rest begin ley

ing counterpart of the old Bush-
man rock paintings, These little
people in bygone days drew el-
Mid not only with surpassing
skill but alsO with truth, What
they saw, tine gees today-the
splendid bulk of the lord of the
herd, the twisting black horns,
the beautiful head and heavily
dewlapped throat, the smooth-
ness of those pale gold flanks-
all are there as the ancient hunt- •
er-artists recorded. them long ago.
In no more time than it takes to
think these theughts, the herd
ehas begun , to - dieappear from
sight. When the last of the :tall
cows and pale-colored calves has
vanished into another valley, the
patriarch turns to follow with
unhurried dignity.
Up on a high slope, there may
be a warthog standing to atten-
tion, its tail held vertically like a
lightning conductor, its curving
tusks resembling a fine pair of
handlebar moustaches, It struts
forward to have a better view of
the intruder, then - it • wheels
sharply and dashes away in a
queer stiff-legged gallop. There
is always something, absurd about
a warthog; its air of truculence
gives way so abruptly to a head-
long retreat.
Just as amusing are the button
quail which inhabit those high
grasslands in large numbers.
'These plump, round, delightful
little birds set up a musical
squeaking and twittering: when
approached and rising up into the
air a little way, skim over the
grass to some safer spot. There.
they settle and hustle along be-
tween the grass stems, all hunch,
ed up as though they were not
close enough to the gropnd al-
ready, Such a pother and such a
fuss when no one is chasing them
at all!
In the peaty marshes which fill
the winding valleys between the
downs, wattled cranes stalk slow-
ly from tussock to tussock. They

rills flow in tiny channels
through these yellow-green mar-
shes and gush in miniature wa-
terfalls over slabs of lichen-
dappled rock, The clear, amber-
colored water is ice cold, There
is a cleannese, an astringency
about those valleys 'reminiscent
of the Scottish Highlands - in
spite of the African strangeness
of inany of the mountain plants
and of the tall olbelias which
stand at the edges of the boggy
ground like abandoned fence
posts, writes Isabel Talbot in the
Chtietian Science Monitor.
Over to one side of the plateau,
there lies a small beautiful lake
partly 'fringed with trees, Above
its intensely blue surface, the
black - shouldered kite hovers
with wings poised aloft before
beginning its thistle-down des-
cent, Round the sandy margin
runs a pattern of tracks, heavy
hoofmarks of eland,- dainty im-
prints of lesser antelope, the
round-toe pugmarks of lion and
the continuous tracery left by
rodents and small.birds. Two fat
yellow-billed ducks own that
gleaming stretch of water in the
- nesting season. Though wild,
they float, on the limpid ripples
with the complacency of domes-
tic ducks.
The air on that lovely plateau
is clear and exhilarating and the
. views tremendous. A deep seren-
ity pervades the rolling hills.
Lions are. few there; elephant
and rhino there are none. The
roerings and trumpetings so of-
ten ,heard in game reserves at
low levels are absent. Instead,
the sound -of the wind, the rus-
tle of grass, the solitary twitter
of larks and pipits; all serve to
intensify the sense of peace. An
Afeican forester crossing the pla-
teau is but an insignificant speck
he the landscape. What villages
there are, lie tucked away on the
treeclad sides of the escarpment
to escape the bitter cold of up-
land winters. High above the
troubled world of men and under
the sparkling blue of heaven, an-
telope graze like , sheep, small
brown foals play around their
zebra mothers and the sunbisd,
its breast ablaze with scarlet and
shimmering blue, drops its little
pearls of song from the top of
some ancient tree in a setnny
valley.
It is hard to go down and leave
these untrammeled heights.
Q. Do you have a suggestion
on the making of floating flow-
er arratgements?
A. Insert the stem of each
flower through a disc of waxed
paper cut to the size of the blos-
som, The blooms will last long-
er, because thee waxed paper will
pr6tect them from the water.

surface, To eyeseaccustomed to

the bare- body of the Moon, much
as it must have been. at the time
when Earth itself was very dif-
ferent from what we see today.
. The Moon is without atmo-
sphere and has no weather, ' Its
climate is merely the gradual
monthly transition from an ex-
treme and completely arid heat

the desolation of cold such as no

Trouble For
The Archbishop
Trouble began for Archbishop
Iakovos on Jan. 13, the day he
was elected Prifnate of All
Greece. In ,.a concerted blast, the
Athenian press charged the well-
known church diplomat with be-
ing recklessly ambitious and a
dangerously divisive influence On
the Orthodox Church, It asked
him to resign.
Then, last month, came the
blockbuster, A parish priest
charged the Primate with un-
becoming conduct and "unmen-
tionable acts," 'Understandably,
no one cared to elaborate on the
lurid accusation against the 66-
year-old prelate who, according
to an American acquaintance,
"lives in undue lushness." The
thtirch synod promised an inves-
tigation, but went through with
the enthronement.

irig clamor froM the press' was

by most people. Nowadays, in
most parts of the world, we have
found it possible to dispense al-

nighttime source of light.
Nevertheless, the Moon is of
very considerable importance in
other ways. Because it is so near
us, it is supreme as a tide-raising
agency. Many of our harbors
would serve little purpose if the
"mean" water level were not
greatly exceeded at high tide, It

The original legislation was
drafted around a. framework of
assistance to cheese factories
_with the intention of stimulat-
-ing improvements in the quality
of cheese and maintaining a high
reputation on world_ markets,
particularly in Britain. That a
higher percentage of quality •has
been achieved is indicated by
the steady rise in premium pay-
ments from $640,612 in 1956-57 to
$851,519 in 1960-61. The prem-
ium is one cent per pound
for cheese with a flavor score of
93 points and two cents per
pound for cheese scoring 94 and
better. This money is paid to the
factories for distribution to milk'
producers and is their incentive
to provide high quality milk.

The extension of the grading
period from 10 to 21 days with
a compulsory regrading of cheese
for export was a comparatively
recent step taken for the main-

The amalgamation of many
small factories into single econ-
omic units was made possible by
the legislation but other factors
have contributed to the health-
ier condition of the industry to-
day.
An official in the grading ser-
vice of the Canada Department
of Agriculture, which is respon-
sible for setting grade standards,
said the past fiscal year showed
the wisdom of a quality policy as
cheese made with the best milk
was worth 34 cents per lb. against

It doesn't matter to sheep
how cold their drinking water
is-as long- as it isn't frozen. Dr.
C. B. Bailey made tests at the
Canada Departinent of Agricul-
ture's .research station at .1seth-
bridge-which led him to conclude
sheep do not need warm water,
even when wintered outdoors.
There is reason to believe
that further studies will show
the same thing applies to cattle
wintered outdoors.

Dr. Bailey found that wethers
kept' in a room at 10°F, drank
about 1% lb., of water daily:re-
gardless of its temperature,

was not. affected by the tempeta-
eure of the water or that of the
room, and the body temperature
of the animals was only one de-
gree lower in the cold room than
in the warmer one - this being
within the normal variation.
It was, clear that the sheep
did as well when their drinking
water was just above freezing
as when it was warmer, Dr. Bai-
ley said.

In 1948 there were approxi- „
mately 295 cheese factories in
Eastern Ontario altine, Today ---
there are only 310 cheese factor-
ies in all Canada yet production
has grown from about 90 million
pounds to 112 million pounds per
year in that period.
More' significantly, domestic
consumption has gone up subs
stantially as. well, relieving the

The conversion of the Cana-
dian cheese industry from hun-
dreds of small and sometimes
uneconomical units to' relatively
few but large, well-equipped
plants is largely the result of
government moncy flowing into
the industry through the medium
of the Cheese and Cheese 'Fac-

this subsidy has amounted .
