The word for church is used, many times by the apostles, In our lesson we see the church as a building of which Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone. Gentilee as well as Sews have their place in this edifice. In Christ all the building fitly framed. together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord, This figure sets forth, the nature of the church. We may have many church buildings for worship in our community but all true believers in Christ constitute one buildlog. Race or eolour do not separate here. In the next portion of our les- son, the church is represented as the body of Christ This thought is repeated in the first and last verses of the last section also. This figure emphasizes the need of co-operation of the various members of the body of Christ. Consider an athlete. If he does not have an inner unity or -co-or- dination, the body is spastic, Unity is essential to the high per- formance of the human body. But there is also diversity in the human body. The hand can- not fulfill the function of the foot or of the heart. So in the body of Christ, we each have our own gift, It is important that all are under the controlling head,. Christ. We have unity in diver- sity. In this figure of the body as the church of Christ, we see more clearly the fttnction of the church. It is important that each of us fill the place which Christ has given us. Goodwill to others is construc- tive thought, It helps build us up. It is goOd for your body. It makes your blood purer, your muscles stronger, and your whole form more symmetrical in shape. It is the real elixir of life. The more such thought you attract to you, the more life you will have. -Prentice Mulford ISSUE 47 -- 1962 Oive Some, people an inch and they will thin', they are a 'ruler.

There were men of stature in the land equal to the world's best, men such as Henry Parkes, Australia's Father of Federation; Edmund Barton; and Allred Deakin, It was to these early leaders that this brilliant editor urged in a stream of vivid editorials vast national measures, social security, a federal bank, a na- tional navy, 0. citizen army, and an industrial tariff, writes Al- beet E, Norman in the Christian Science Monitor. Hehind this tariff were to grow the industries from which today ' millions of Australians draw their job opportunities and their pay checks, In 1927, Papa saw the opening of another project of the Found- ing Fathers, the official begin- ning of Canberra as the national capital, then a grassy plain where magpies nested in tall thinly scattered trees, surround- ed by blue tinted ranges. In 1927, the Toads were dusty trails, and there were no side- walks, no street lights and, no movies There was ,a small school, a few groups of houses for federal officials and their families, a few small stores, one or two ether buildings and several camps for workers engaged in building Australia's newest city, today a beautiful tree-clad mod- ern metropolis. . Federal politicians who had been very comfortably housed in the Statehouse in Melbourne, did not take readily to the long dusty train journey to Canberra, out in the wilderness of the Never Never. Moreover, there was no public transport, and they were obliged to walk to the "provisional" House of Hepresentatives from their various lodgings across an unpromising wilderness terrain. People invested their money in pianos, drove buggies, and Papa, along with the rest, ap- plauded lantern lectures by itin- erant "professors," At weekends, people engaged in cycling or foot races or went on social picnics in large parties, if the weather looked fine. Most fun came in do-it-yourself kits, People who owned houses were pleased to have the county water the street out front to keep -down the dust, Pack ped- dlers with all kinds of merchan- dise from lecee to prints brought the "latest city styles" to the housewife's door.

Look about in Australia, - and one will find many similar storied places of the past now engulfed in the present. Fascin- atingly, the present sometimes wears the externals of the past, though the historian will always spot the difference, Look across Sydney Harbor and one may see the proof. The fathers of today's Australian fa- . roily men took their young wives an Saturday afternoon on ferry rides, In those days, near the begin- ning of the century, Mama wore a silk something-or-other over her hat and knotted under her chin to step the wind taking the hat.. It was not an expensive hat by today's prices; but it was Mama's best. - These 'big -ferries, their bright paintwork and brass glinting in the strong Australian sun, tall smoke stacks belching dense black clouds, were usually pack- ed, They carried lively bands which struck up gay, tunes- and swinging waltzes. It gave to the cruise .that dashing air known today as glamour. About the time that Mama and Papa were setting out on some of their earliest Saturday afternoon ferry rides, a -young Scot, on the fringe of manhood, was tossing uneasily in the steerage of a steamer bound for the new lands of the South Sees, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the Samoas. James Edmond had not had the advantages of eteoday's Youngsters, He left school as a mere child to •seek work in his ; native Glasgow. • By age 16 he - had a 'job clerking in an insur- ance office, After that, it was: heigh-ho for the South 'Steel . In Queensland, he found a job OA the Rockhampton Morning . Bulletin. For the young Scot it was the beginning of the real beginning, the discovery of his true talent, About a year eater, he moved south to Sydney Where he was. to -become eventually the editor of the crusading, democratic Bulletin, a .journal stilt appear- ing on Sydney etreets, J. E. Webb, a later successor in the line of Bulletin editors, has written warmly of James Edmond: "The capacity for seize - ing upon striking arid original ideas vividly illustrative of the critical,point of a subject Wes one of the greatest of his many great qualities," It was .a time of big ideas. Last Lamplighter Takes To Farming When the first Colonial light- house was erected on Great Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor in 1716, pro- perly pleased Bostonians noted that it was quite up to date: It burned whale oil, while many English lighthouses still were using candles. In the centuries since, whale oil has successively given place to kerosene, electricity, and to an assortment of electronic de- vices. Yet-sucli is the time lag of history-all through these cen- turies, the time-honored trade that is called by the ancient name of "lamplighter" has been retained in lighthouses on ob- scure inlets and along the coast- al waterways of the nation. This month, the last of the nation's lamplighters-the men, Who actually pour -fuel oil into the lamps-was retired. Ray- mond E. Burton, 54, tendet of the two remaining -oil light- houses in the U.S. (on Alaska's remote Kenai Peninsula) offi- cially went off the government payroll on Nov. 15. When the Coast Guard re- places the lamplighter's oil wicks with the new battery-powered electric lights, the old-fashioned lamps will be sent to the Smith- sonian Institution The last U.S. practitioner of a trade which traces to the first keeper of the Boston Light, Bur- ton has -tended the two lights which mark the entrance to the Kasilaf River for seven and a half years. Unlike a lot of men left be- hind in the march of progress, Burton will not be jobless after this technological advance. A former Berkeley, Calif„ fireman who staked out a 30- acre claim in the thick spruce forests of the peninsula in 1948, Burton spends his spare time clearing his land. Without his lighthouse job, he may be able to speed the process, .ee.ftee four- teen years, of spare-time situr1p- pulling and taming of the wild- erness, he figured last month, he had cleared 3 acres. When 'Mrs. Kennedy sends a shamrock from. Ireland to her Canadian friend-probably in a box containing a little earth shot through with living organisms- she's being sentimental at the risk of introducing another agri- cultural menace to this country. Fortunately the federal Plant Protection Division, with an as- sist from the Post Office, will dispose of the potential trouble- maker in the incinerator and hope Mrs. Kennedy won't do it a And the holidaying U.S. cou- ple who packed a few tasty col- orful Newfoundland potatoes to grow in their own backyard will have these potatoes politely con- fiscated as they leave the pro- vince and will be reminded that potato wart, most serious of all potato diseases, could be spread by this means. These are two of many in- stances when a little prevention can save millions of dollars. The bible of the Plant Protec- tion Division, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, is the De- structive Insect and Pest Act of 1910. a * • Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking The one book that really tells you Where you eait go on holi- day is your Cheque Wok, Th Act and its oft-amended regulations, up-dated as recently as 1960, contain some 20,000 words framed to prevent the introduction or spreading of in- sects, pests and diseases injuri- ous to vegetation. Admission of-certain pests and diseases would not only reduce production of the crops they prey on, it could also, result in the loss of Canadian export markets to countries having reg- ulations similar to Canada's. a a The job of protecting farmers Seem insect and pest disease problems additional to those they already have, is tackled through a careful system of cer- tification, inspection and fumi- gation carried on at ports of en- try plus some pre-shipment in- spections a-broad, and a compre- hensive plan of internal inspec- tion and quarantine, From its headquarters in Ot- tawa, Plant Protection Division directs a staff of 144 inspectors at 23 main ports of importation and 13-sub-offices, two of which are at international airports, Fumigation stations are main- tained at Montreal, and at Saint John, New Brunswick. - Six of the pores and 57 of the staff are concerned mainly with Canadian Seed Potato Certifica- tion, 11t a a Basis of the Division's opera- tions is the national inspection service set up in 1928 when porte of importation and control were CROSSWORD PUZZLE. 6, Color of a 23 Danish Island' horse 30.

Trav- ellers often innocently attempt to bring in or take out plant gifts which are in violation of regulations. 5 .5 5 The task in excluding all in- sects, pests and diseases is prac- tically impossible but Plant Pro- tection forces reduce- the inva- sion to a minimum. This is accomplished by: Strict enforcement of regulations to the point of treating, destroying, returning or refusing entry to infected, shipments; Follow-up surveys of Cana- dian horticultural mirseries and greenhouses to which most tin- ported materials go; Regular reviewing of the reg- ulations in consultation with a board of experts from several agricultural sciences. Most plant material imported for planting is required to be certified free of infestation by qualified people in the country of origin before it is shipped. The Canadian importing firm must also get a permit to bring in such material and it must enter through a designated port. In such cases, inspectors check the documents and examine the shipment and may take samples for closer study in. the labora- tory. a The international movement of nursery stock is an obvious medium for inadvertently trans- porting insects, nematodes and, plant diseases from one country to another, In almost every country there are plant pests of major economic importance that have been introduced on living plant material, As an extra precautionary measure and also to assist trade, the Division annually assigns a group of inspectors to Holland, one of the chief exporters of plant material to Canada, to in- spect bulb shipments before they leave that country, * But many items of commerce besides nursery stock and plants, soil and sacking, may harbor destructive organisms and more attention is therefore being paid to miscellaneous cargo from all parts of the world, The Khapra beetle may move from infested grain residues to cars, machin- ery and other cargo in transit, This cargo may be unloaded in Canada arid eventually be des- patched to far points of the country with its menace to agri- culture still undetected. Used vehicles being brought into Canada from all tountriee except the United -States, are now requited to be washed thor- oughly to remove all soil before being admitted. 4, Shamrock and heather Mailed to this tot-miry as gifts have been found to coriteiti cysts of the golden nematode, a serious- pest, The co-Operation -if the Pest Office has been valuable in stetinting this traffic and Ctis , toms andEktiSe DiVisibit and comriterical derrierS also help, 8evorei Canadian Provintel 31 32. 29 33 39 31 36 33- 30 . How Po Birds Know Their Way? How do •Migrating birds find their way ao unerringly through the sky? While ornithologists have only begun to solve this ancient puz. zlo, they think miu3y epecies use the stars to guide 1110111, Working \Olt this theory, Harvard University graduate student Roderick A. Suthers is using the liaydyn Plenetarium at Boston's Museum of .'leience to see if he can put white-throat- ed sparrows end catbirds through their celestial navigational paves. With the help of planetarium director John 'Patterson, he can vary the star pattern at will and see how the birds respond, a a * The birds themselves are kept cylindricp1 cages with trans, parent roofs, that let them see a small part of the planetarium sky. The rest of the room with the star projector is hidden by a masonite screen around the cage. For the experiment, the birds have to be in what orthinologists call a state of nocturnal unrest. Meet of the year, such birds gen- erally sleep at night. But during the spring and fall migratory periods they often ere nocturnal- ly reetless aud alert. Even birds raised from eggs in cages show this instinctive behavior. In Mr. Suthee's experimental cage, there is a central perch sur- rounded by eight peripheral perches which are wired to send a signal when birds alight on them, These signals, recorded on a chart, show where the birds alight during an experimental run, if they change perches at all. * A strong preference for perches in the migratory direction (email xri fall and vice versa) would in- dicate that the birds are orient- ing themselves, Mr. Suthers says. In spite of the 'restricted, un- natural conditions of the cage, he thinks the perch-hopping can be a good indicator of orienta- tion. Tests under the natural sky in the spring suggested that his birds do use the stars, to find the north-south direction. Mr. Suthera is following a line of research where others have already made striking ob- servations. Sonic of the most notable of these have been made in plane- tarium studies by Dr. E. G. F. Sauer of the University of Frei- burg in Germany. Working with warblers, he has found quite def- inite indicationS" the birds use stellar navigation. For example, one warbler call- ed Johnny was of a species that heads southeast at first when it migrates to Africa. As this course carries the birds farther and farther south they have to shift to a more directly southerly heading, writes Richard C. Cowen in the Christian Science Monitor. „ „ „ In the planetarium, the sky pattern was changed progressiv- ely to indicate progress along the species' natural route. Johnny changed orientation in accord- ance with the changing sky con- ditions just as though he were flying the course himself. In another experimeet, the star projector showed the sky as it would look if Johnny were near Lake Balkhash in Siberia, far to the east of the species' usual mig- ratory starting point in Germany. After a minute's indecision, Johnny was ready to- take wing in a westerly direction, right back to this starting point * * Commencing on these experi- ments, Dr. Sauer has noted that, while warblers can use the sun and geographical features for re- ference, on clear nights the state are a major guide, Other pertinent observations have been reported by Dr. David Lack of Oxford University in England. Studying the flights or Many species by radar, he has concluded that both the- "sun- compass" and the "star-compass" are widely used by birde. In other radar studies report-. ed from Switzerland, birds have been located flying aimlessly about below aot overcast while, above it, other migrants -who could see the stars were fying straight along their route: However it is that bird e make use of the stars, their celeetial scrutiny is believed to be acute, Die Sauer has said that a meteor flash is enough to distract their attention Momentarily. 4, 4, In his work at the planetarium 10. BostOti, Stithers is trying to find Out just What it iS in the- Star patter0.3 that the birds are using. Is it the constellations, certain bright stars, or what?
