"METEORS"
By
Many on a recent night had the
great and very unusual pleasure of
seeing a Ishower of meteors. .A. week
previously the comet Zinner had leas•
sed anross the heavens and on the
night in question the meteors were
dropping from the tail of, that noted
comet.
Those who were able to see this
display say it was something which
they will never forget. It was indeed
a disappointment to, many that on ac-
count of a misty atmosphere it could
not be seen in all nares of the country,
No description a anything Ince that
can ever take the place of the real
thing.
"The heavens declare the
• glory of God; and the firma-
ment sheweth his handy
work." Psalm la:l.
How can anyone gaze on a sight
such as that and believe there is
no God?
The advance of astronomy has been
made only during the recent centuries.
Abeut a eentury and a half before
Christ, Hipparehus announced that
there were only , 1,002 stars, and
Ptolemy, ihi the beginning of the
second century •of the Christian era
gave as his version that there were
only about 1,026. At the present time
if we with ;the naked eye could sur-
vey the whole celestial sphere we
could count about 3,000. Jeremiah, in
Inc propheay made the statement that
the stars were as countless as the
sands on the sea shore, but it was
not until the invention of the tele-
scope that this was moved true. When
Lord Rosse's powerful instrument was
turned to the sky, the number of
stars was increased to 400,000,000. As
we look at the firmament can we
imagine the enormity of the planets
and stars in the heavens? .
We learn that it would take elect-
ricity travelling at the rate of 180,000
miles a second eight minutes to reach
the sun; four enears to meet the near-
est fixed star. News of the Battle
of Waterloo fought M 1815 is just
now reaching some stars; the story
of Christopher Columbus and the
discovery of America is arriving at
some other stars, and the wonderful
story a the birth of Jesus Christ,
the greateat child ever born and the
Saviour of the world has jut been
given to some other bodies of the
solar system.
To our minds the greatness of the
eolar system means infinity but as
we compare it to the atupendouslove
of the Creator of that system, it
means nothing.
As we look back to our childhood
days we can recall when we had the
Mea that the world was elat, then we
were taught that the earth was round,
flattened at the poles and that we
were living on the outer edge of a
huge ball which was revolving in
space and that the firmament was
common to all the planets and stars
just as it is to us.
Every few years there is some out-
standing event in astronomy. Some
five or six years ago we ebserved
with much interest the close passing
of the two planets Jupiter and Venus
as they came so close together that
there was just about the diameter of
the moon between them. How inter-
esting all these things are! It would
indeed be wonderful if as little child-
ren we had been taught the study of
astronomy.
So often the question arises among
people, "Why do the stars and planets
as they move around, not strike one'
another"? We must realize that God
who is the Head of the Universe, has
control of all these things and there
is a definite system upon which these
heavenly bodies revolve, We have no
need to worry about such a catas-
trophe overtaking the world. In the
beginning God and the same God will
rule through all Eternity.
The magnitude of the world is in-
comprehensible. As childeen we could
understand Iittle about it and as years
have passed, the knowledge of astron-
omy has increased very little is far
as we are concerned, but that is no
mason why we cannot make a study
of this great subject. .Am sure we
would all find it very interesting and
worthwhile, and much more so, if we
took it up as a family or among
friends.
tAt times 'we bother and worry
ebout trivial things, which is absolute

Young People Feted
A large number of friends and
neighbours gathered at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Oakes, Maitland
concession, for a surprise party and
reception on Friday night.
The evening was spent in games
and social activities. Diving the even-
ing, an address was read by Morgan
Jones and a large mirror was pre-
sented to the bride and groom, by
Stewart Parbuhat. A very fitting
reply of thanks was made by Harry,
Oa• behalf of himself and his bride.
Lunch was served by the ladies of
the community.
Farm Forum Meeting
The first meeting for the new
season of the Sa No. 4 Fa= Radio
Forum was held on Monday night at
the home of Mr. and 1VIrs. Ira Merrill.
There weee 13 areeent.
The group discuese,d the topic,
"Are Farm Living Standards High?'
Following the diecussicna a recreation
period was conducted by Miss Helen
Crieh and Mrs,. L Merrill.
, The next meeting will be held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hebden,
with Morgan Jonee and Fred Lobb
to be in charge of the recreation
period. Lunch was served at the
close of the meeting,
proof that we have not untold faith
in the God who can govein 'bodies
such as the comet which some were
fortunate enough to see recently and
such- planets as Jupiter which are
between 3,200 and 1,500 times the
size of our Earth. Have we any rea-
son to belieia that He will not care
for us? The God a God of great things
Mime? No, indeed. We read in His
inspired word that His care, which is
always loving is extended even to
the spanows. Then let us answer
the question, are we not of More
value than they? •
The infinity of the firmament can
very well be eoanpared to the love of
God. We could search far before
we would find anything which would
make such a good comparison. His
love towards us is unbounded. There
is no possible limit to it.
The love of God is so great that
it implies mercy. Id we were to re-
ceive our just deserts from God we
would have little happiness here, God
is juts but He shows unbounded mercy
towards as.
Jupiter is known as the King of
Gods. It is a planet of storms about
which our email knows nothing. As
God has made our planet a place of
comparative calm so He can either
sweep away the so believed storms
in our lives or else give us strength
to stand up against them. Do we
not believe that or why is it that
we do not triest Trim m we go from
day to day?
Ail iliteeesting story is told of 'two
adventurers who were crossinga
desert. They had a plan of their trips
which had a very careful deecription
of the land marks width would show
them their way. 'Unfortunately a
severe •storm arose whichdrove them
inta a cave. When the storm had
ceased and they emerged they found
that their chart was of no ;use as the
majority of the landinarks had been
swept away. One of the men went
paniey but his fellow adventurer ee-
rnained quiet and calm. When evening
came he showed to his companion
that without a doubt they could fol-
low their way by means of the stars.
Many times it is a good thing for
us when the landmarks which we have
been following aye swept away as
in that way we are compelled to look
to our Saviour for guidance, A splen-
did reality. for us to make a part of
our lives is the motto "Jesus never
fails."
