'• the team of British arrhtr,dogists
in Turkey. who. with .the help DI
Turkish scholars, are ,trying to ex-
cavate a buried Cireek cite of the
ninth century before Christ. Mat-
thews observed: "'Ilk will be the

the latish Archaeological institute
was founded in Ankara last winter
• with the blessings of the Turkish
t;ovcr nnceut'• Sir Leonard Wool-
ley, the world famous discoverer of
buried cities, is also looking for
some et the tombs of the Hittite
,. Kings.. 'These expeditions„ are a
-sign of growing friendship between
Britain and Turkey, bemuse Tur-
key has been suspicious of British
archaeologists since Lawrence of
Arabia proved tlrat:scholars can
turn into soldiers.
"The great Kental, the father of
ncolcru l' rkcy,"- said \Matthews,
"mire his countrymen precise di-
rections about this type of research,
'lig', he said, 'and learn 'to dig
from those who know how,' He be-
queathed part of his private fort-
une to archaeology and to -day Tur-
key has some notable scholars in
the Iicld. The Turks already have
fifteen thousand historical montr
ments to be dug. flow many more
are waiting to be dug out of the
ground the Greek, the Roman, the
Byzantine and the Ottoman Turk-
ish; but the most fashionable, if
one may use such a word about
these vanished ages, seems to be the
Hittite. la case, like me, you have
to ask who the I-Iittites were, they
were the masters of the great plat-
eau of Anatolia for a thousand years
before the Greeks at Troy. The
Turks are now preparing in Ankara
a museum which will be unique. No
other in the world will so imposing-
ly display ,the whole sweep of the
Hittite civilisation, The musettnt
has ten donees and round it runs a
'covered gallery. It's an awe-inspir-
ing place tow, iu the cathedral -like
gloom under the donee has been set
up^ a gateway of an ancient Hit-
tite city guarded by two carved
lions,. Inside the walls are lined with
huge sculptured slabs of basalt and
limestone: there semis nothing
which is not gigantic within sight.
Then as you bend your eyes on the
details, you dimly see the whole
monstrous • procession, the stiffly
standing Kings pouring libations;
the gods with forked lightning in
their hands, tlic bulls, the griffins
and the sphinx.
There are fourteen archaeological
teams digging in Turkey this year;
each will hope 10 make some dis-
covery, putting all earlier discover-
ies in the shade. And this is emin-
ently possible in Turkey where sev-
buried cities are known to exist
which have not yet been found..
A Real Giant
One cd the best-known giants; in
modern medical history was, Ro-
bent Waldow of Alton, Illinois, who
died in 1940 after reaching the
amazing height .of eight feet ten
inches. His overactive pituitary
wan first observed by a doctor when
Robert's father brought him to the
hospital to find out why the boy
was growing so fast.
Although he weighed only nine
pounds at birth, he weighed 30 by
the time he was six months old. At
a year and a half he weighed 62. At
nine, he had reached a height of
six feet one inch, and weighed 178.
At 18, when he entered college,
Robert \Vadlow was eight feet three
and a half inches tall and still
growing, although his muscular de-
velopunett was beginning to slow
down. Hitherto his appetite had
been normal, but now it began to
ihenease so rapidly that he had t0
have 8,000 calories a'day, compared
to the normal intake of 2,500 to
3,000.

LESSON
By -Rev. R, Barclay Warren
Jesus Faces Opposition
Mark 2:3-8; 16-17; 3:1-6
Golden Text:—Be not overcome of
evil, but overcome evil with good.—
Romans 12:21.
Anyone who takes 9 leading part
in public life is always the object
of severe criticism. Of course lead-
ers make mistakes which warrant
criticism. But Jesus was exceptional.
He never erred, yet he was intensely
hated and envied and ultimately.
crucified.
Jesus pronounced forgiveness of
suns upon the than sick of the palsy.
This they termed blasphemy, for
"who. can forgive sins . but God
only?" But Jesus demonstrated that
he was God by immediately healing
the man. The pian who had come
carried by four, walked out carrying
his bed.
Then they found fault because
Jesus ate with publicans and sinners.
He erred socially. He replied by as-
serting, "I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repent-
ance." -
•The third criticism recorded in
the lesson was that of healing on
the Sabbath. The man with the
withered hand int the synagogue was
probably "planted" by the Pharisees.
They watched, He asked the man
to stand forth, and inquired. "Is it
lawful to do good on the sabbath
days, or to do evil, to save life or
to kill?" They did not answer, He
healed the man. Jesus was not seek-
ing his own pleasure on the Sab-
bath, but was reather ministering to
the needy.
CrIticistn did not make Jesus veer
from His course, though He knew
It wouid lead to the Cross. He con-
tinued to forgive sins, befriend time•

When we are censured it is well
that we examine ourselves; One has
said, "My critics are the unpaid
guardians of my soul." We may
learn some valuable lessons from
our critics. But if we are follow-
ing closely the example of Jesus, let
us keep on despite the unkind words
that may be spoken of us. Let ea

Prepared,
A short time ago David 1Vestern,
whose father' is a London Transport
fitter, went to Buckingham Palace
to receive the Albert Medal for
Gallantry. When David and his
parents had been to the Palace they
told listeners to the BBC's "In
Town Tonight" programme what it
felt like to visit the Icing in leis own .
home. "It all seems unreal now,"
said Mr. Western. "When we got
to tete Palace we were met by two
ushers who took David away into
another room, My wife and I were
shown into a Grand Hall, and it
took our breath away, I can tell
you. It must be about two hundred
yards long and it's covered with a
red carpet. The ceiling is inlaid
with gold, and there are beautiful
oil paintings on the walls, and
marble' columns down the Hall.
Two seats had been reserved for us
in a line of chairs on either side
of the dais, and a band played all
the time we waited for the King to
appear. If any body'd told me, when
I was in North Africa with the Des
ert Rats, or when I was a prisoner
of war, that one day I'd be sitting
in Bucicinghant Palace — well,• I'd
have said they were crackers!"
David, who received his medal
for a very brave attempt to rescue
two friends who had fallen through -
the fee on a frozen pond, and who
was in icy water for twenty-five
minutes, said of his visit, "I wasn't
nervous — because I'm a Scout and
we always have to be prepared."
,Just The Same
. "To me, life in Britain is ex-
actly the same as `it was twenty
'years ago. I like it very much ex-
cept.for the climate and the weath-
er. The people still smoke their
pipes, tell jokes, do the 'Times'
crossword' puzzle each day. They
still grumble at everything, yet it is
wonderfnt how thoy manage to
keep their lives so faithfully order-
ed."
The Rt. Rev. M. H. Yashiro, the
Presiding Bishop of Japan. -
Ignorant -
Driving through the mountains of
Tennessee, a young lady stopped to
ask an elderly roan the way to Coffee
Hill School. -
"Well, miss," said the native, "you
go down" here until you come to
- Hangin' Rock and then—you know
where that ia, dontchai-"
"No," replied my friend, "I don't
believe 1 do."
Well, that's where you turn off
and go on two miles until you get
tri Tumbliu' ' Creek.. You know -
where that Is, dontcha?"
• "No, I don't."
".I'nt sorry, miss," said the native
shaking his head regretfullly�, "I
don't thiole you know enough for me
to tell you anything."'

i1NGER FARM
Gwendol[ew. D.Ctaxke
We had a xtear-tragedy in our
animal fancily lest week—and I was
just about ready to give Honey her
walking papers! It was after break-
fast and i was busy in the pantry,
Honey was running around as
usual; Joseph Mark was asleep on
a chair. Presently l heard a bit of
a scuffle and then a plop; but I
didn't pay any attention as the cat
and the pup are always chasing
each other around anyway. But
when I did turn round there was
Marls stretched out on the floor,
stiff as a ramrod, mouth open and
showing absolutely no sign of life
at all. As i picked him up I won-
dered what on earth the pup could
have done to knock him out so com-
pletely. "Perhaps she grabbed his
throat—perhaps he needs air," I
thought. So I ran outside to the
front step and sat rubbing poor
Mark's throat.. Presently he started
the most awful twitcltings, lilce a
' chicken before it dies. "011 dear.
this is the end," I thought. "Poor
Kitty, to think I saved you when
you were small and then to have
you die like this." However, I kept
on rubbing—and Mark kept twitch-
ing. And then he opened his eyes!
Then he started to •breathe very
noisily—like something being rattled
around in a tin can. By that time I
had begun to hope and—to cut a
long story short—my Hope was just-
ified. Mark actually did recover but
for the rest of the day he couldn't
walk properly, didn't cat and could-
n't raise his hind leg to scratch his
ear. He breathed noisily all day and
was so scared all he wanted was to
get out of the house. That I could -
not allow—you know how an animal
will crawl away to a dark corner
if if is sick or injured and you
don't know whether it is alive or
dead. So I kept Markin the house
but it meant a sort of Washington
Post all day—taking Mark down
the cellar and bringing up the pup;
then after an hour or two taking the
pup down the cellar and bringing up
Mark. The cat, naturally, had to
be kept away from the pup until
he was able to look after himself.
. 4: 1 ,,
And what did 1 do to the pup?
Nothing at all. Honey had done no
more than she had any other time
—I think it was just that the cat,
being asleep, was taken off, guard.
I - believe the pup must have grab-
bed him near the end .of his spine
and he dropped dike a log to the
floor.
Believe rue, we are certainly glad
Mark• recovered. Apart from the
fact that'he is a splendid pet, he is
also more than worth Isis keep. No
mouse is ever likely to become a
grandmother while Mark is around
—he is as quick as a flash.

Our next adventure was on Satur-
day. After dinner I was alt set to
go down town with an order of
eggs and chicken when. Bob calve
in. "You certainly can't drive down-
town yourself," he said, "better get
ready and I'll take you down in the
big truck. 'That'll be the safest
thing on the road today." I had no
idea what he was talking about until
I looked outside. Oh my — freez-
ing rain and slippery as glass under-
foot! I was glad enough to go in
the big truck. And even that did
a bit of slithering around ea the
road.
Later that afternoon my sister
phoned — would it be all right if
she came out for the weekendf
"Sure it's all right"' I said. And
then added—"but the roads are ter-
ribly icy." She was so surprised.
"But there is nothing but slush in
Toronto," she exclaimed. A little
later the phone rang again. Sister
had missed the train. "But there
is a train going to Georgetown in
twenty minutes, could you meet 1ue
there?" she asked.
t k R
"We certainly couldn't — not on
these roads," I answered. "You had
better come out in the moraing."
So site did, and got a taxi from the
station. On the way here the taxi-
driver told her a bit about the awful
driving conditions the night before,
I was very glad he did because I
was a little afraid Sister might
think I had been making excuses
and did not want her to come, But
I needn't have worried because the
paper on Monday morning had all
kinds of stories about traffic tie-ups,
as you very well know. Sometimes
it is hard for people in the city to
realise how different weather con-
ditions can be in the country. So
why beat about the bush? Better
risk giving offence to someone than
to risk life and limb on dangerous
roads. Explanations can mend
hurt feelings but explanations won't
mend broken limbs.
