The theme of the EibILI ll God'a
provision for our redemption. In
the first part of our lesson we
see that even before God created
the world He had in mind the
plan for our redemption. He
knew that man would fail in the
test and fall into stn. He prede-
termined that He would give His
Son to lift us out of the bondage
and mire of sin and reclaim us
tor Himself, So it was that be-
fore the foundation of the world
he chose us that we should be
holy and without blame before
him in love, We are called to
live a pure life unto His praise.
And I like the expression, "with-
out blame before him in love.°
A dhiid may in error pull out
the tomato plant instead of the
weed. But if he does it endeav-
ouring to express his love for his
father, the father frdely forgives,
We Tri y‹e a, lot of blunders, But
if our heart is perfected in love
to God, in fulfillment of the
great' commandment, our Father
counts us blameless. Of course,
we shouldn't repeat the same
mistake. We are called to grow
in grace, and in the knowledge
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.
When we find forgiveness for
our sins and respond to the call
to holy lying, we must continue
in the way. Notice the 'if' in the
following: "And you, — hath he
reconciled in the body of his
flesh through death, to present
you holy and unblameable and
unrqprovealale in his sight: if ye
continue in the faith grounded
and settled, and be not moved
away from the hope of the gos-
pel." We must go all the way.
Jesus Christ is the one Media-
tor. No one can hinder us in our
approach to God, The way is
open. Let us come boldly to the
throne of grace. Then we will
have a message to give to others
of the wonderful saving power
of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Too Much Chatter
Ou In Space
It is interesting to observe that
among the comments offered by
astronaut Walter Schirra after
his successful six-orbit space
whirl was the complaint that he
didn't have sufficient "quiet
time" during his journey. Or
perhaps "complaint" is too strong
a word; Comdr. Schirra was
merely observing that there was
a lot of chatter to and from .the
ground stations while he was cir-
cling the globe in his capsule.
This lack of quiet time in the
heavens, as on earth, may be
something worth noting, One as-
sumes that most of the messages
shot back and forth between the
spaceman and those tracking his
flight were necessary, but some
of them probably fell into the
,realm of astronautical small talk.
—conversation exchanged just to
make sure the space vehicle was
still functioning properly, and
the spaceman was still going
strong. Even an experienced
technician on earth must still get
a thrill out of actually convers-
ing with a man hurtling through
the heavens in a space vehicle.
But the astronaut, apparently,
has the same need for silence and
repose that the rest of us do,
Indeed, he may feel it even more
keenly_ amid the splendor and the
solitude of space. There, appa-
rently, small talk' seems even
smaller than usual.. No• one yet
knows what the space age will
bring to Mankind, but if it•serves
to cut down on general' chatter,
prattle, jawing, gabble and bab-
ble, its benefits may be'. even
greater than we realize,

Elms And Robins
On Their Way Out
The songful and once ubiqui-
tous robin is on the decline in
eastern Massachusetts and over-
use of poison sprays may be the
reason.
This is the opinion of one orni-
thologist, who contends that
widespread and indiscriminate
use of pesticides to combat in-
sects has greatly affected reprod-
uction of the robin species and
may be doing serious damage to
other species of birds.
Sharing some of the alarming
conclusions drawn by Rachel
Carson in her recent book, "Si-
lent Spring," Alan Morgan, exe-
cutive vice-president of the Mas-
sachusetts Audubon Society,
stated in an interview here that
even if spraying were stopped
toincrrow, the pesticides used to
date would have deleterious
effects on wildlife for the next
ten years,
Unfortunately, commented Mr.
Morgan, little research has been
done in this field, primarily be-
cause of lack of funds and per-
sonnel. There is no conclusive
evidence that the dramatic de-
cline in cs.rtain species of birds
is caused by poisoning from in-
secticides,
"But some experiments con-
ducted in Michigan and Califor-
nia showed that the feeding of
DDT to birds lowered their re
productive potential," said Mr.
M o r g a n. Furthermore, birds
brought to the Massachusetts Au-
dubon Society—recently a great
blue heron and an osprey—have
been found to have been affected
by DDT,
"There is no question in my
mind that the robin species has
greatly declined and that Dutch
elm disease control has been the
major cause of bird mortality,"
declared Mr. Morgan.
Before World War II, lie re-
called, a dawn robin chorus in
Wayland, Mass., was "deafen-
ing." It was so great one could
not estimate the number of
robins present.
Today, said Mr. Morgan, the
robin may still be common but
one can easily locate and count
the numbers, Some evidence
exists that the robin population
in Newton, for example, is not
producing any young and is be-
ing killed off. Robins disappear
from lawns by late June when
they should be around through
late August.
"Newton has been deluged
with DDT to save the elms," he
noted, "yet the town continues to
lose its elms."
Regrettably, said Mr, Morgan,
affected trees are allowed to re-
main standing and ultimately
impair the robin food supply.
The leaves fall to the ground,
work into the soil and then are
eaten by earthworms, The earth-
worm, in turn, changes the DDT
into a chemical compound known
as DDE, and it is this compound
which is fatal to bird life, writes
Charlotte Saikowski in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
Another problem, Mr. Morgan
pointed out, is that as the robin

Brutality Hidden
prom Public View
ft is probable that as individ-
uals no people in the world love
their domesticated animals more
and yet collectively treat them
more indifferently than do the
people of the United States, The
brutality which results from this
neglect does not occur on the
farms and in the homes of Ameri-
cans but, according to the Society
for Animal Protective Legisla-
tion, is hidden from public view
in the numerous laboratories in
which animals are used for ex-
perimentation.
On the basis of a ten-year sur-
vey of many such laboratories in
various parts of the country,
Christine Stevens of the Animal
Welfare Institute reports a pre-
valence of shocking abuses in
which animals are subjected to
needless cruelty and neglect.
As the need for experimenta-
tion in animals increases — 8 mil-
lion animals are used annually in
the Maryland-Virginia-District of
Columbia area alone — and as
the standards of humaneness
drop, the need for a federal law
protecting animals used in exper-
imentation increases. (The feder-
al government provides the
greater part of all funds used for
medical research,) Senators Jos-
eph S. Clark (D., Pa.) and Maur-
ine Neuberger (D o Ore,) and Re-
presentative Martha Griffiths
(D., Mich.) are sponsoring identi-
cal bills which would establish
standards for the humane treat-
ment of laboratory animals and
license scientists using them.
Such legislation is long over-
due; Great Britain adopted legis-
lation protecting experimental
animals 86 years ago. Yet we,
who talk so much about rever-
ence for life, have done nothing
to protect the animals whose
lives are so often sacrificed in
efforts to improve men's health
and who have no recourse against
cruelty and neglect. — Christian

There are possibilities of ex-
porting Canadian chicks of egg
production and broiler stock to
some parts of Asia, said A. Drew
Davey, director of the federal
government's poultry division, on
his return from the 12th World's
Poultry Congress in Sydney,
Australia.
He said Singapore, Malaya and
Hong KOng are importers of shell
eggs for consumption and chicks
for egg production. Even surplus
egg-producing countries like
Thailand, the Philippines and
Japan import chicks of egg pro-
duction stock. In some of these
Countries too there is a small but
increasing interest in broiler
chicken. Some processed poultry
is imported, chiefly for the non-
native populations of these coun-
tries.
Mr. Davey said United States
suppliers are active in most of
these countries. There are defin-
ite possibilities for Canadian ex-
porters too, but "they will not
come easy" and careful planning
and some knowledge of local con-
ditions are necessary. He said he
is willing to give what assistance
he can.
He noted that Australia and
New Zealand have a rigid ban
on imports of poultry breeding
stock, eggs or poultry products
from the North American con-
tinent. * *
Mr. Davey was the leader of
a 24-member delegation com-
prising mostly representatives
of the poultry industry. Canada
also had an outstanding exhibit.

soils of most farms contain a

face. Yet farmers applied about
6,500 tons of fertilizer potash to
their crops this year. However,
Dr. "D, C. MacKay of the La-

Two points have been estab-

chemicals in the soil influences
the amount of potash that be-
