THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. --We do not know when
man was created, and there-
fore we do not date the first
chapter of Genesis. The two verses
from Matthew's Gospel are from
an episode occurring in our Lord's
in October, A.D, 26. The
WIIIP Epistle to the Romans was writ-
ten about A.D, GO, and the first
Epistle to the Corinthians two or
three years earlier.
Place. ---The scene from which
the verses of Genesis are taken
was, of course, the Garden of Eden.
The words quoted from Matthew
were uttered near Capernaum. The
Epistle to the Romans was writ-
ten front the city of. Corinth, in
what is now known as Greece, and
it was to,that city that Paul pre-
viously 6enned his two long
epistles, called First and Second
Corinthians.
Creation Of Man
"And God created eau in his
own image, in me image of God
created he him, male and female
created he them", Since God
reated Adam of the dust of the
•,ground and breathed into his nost-
rils the breath of life, he is God's
by creation and he bears the like-
ness of his Creator as the child
resembles his parents.
The Divine Blessing
"And God blessed them: and
God said unto them, be fruitful
attd multiply, and replenish the
earth, and rubdue it; and have
dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the birds of the heavens,
and over every living thing that
Moretti upon the earth." By the
divine btessing of God given to
man and woman mankind is in.
creased, and the succession of hu-
man generations is continued. The
earth and its variousproducts and
inhabitants are assigned to man for
the display of his powers. The
subduing and ruling refer not to..
the mere supplying of his natural
wants, but to the accomplishment
of his varions purposes of science
and beneficence, whether towards
the inferior animals or his own
race.
Service On The Sabbath
"And he said unto them, what
man shall there be of you, that
shall have one sheep, and if this
fall into a 'pit on the ..iabbath day,
will he not lay hold on it and lift
it out? How much then is a man
of more value than a sheep? Where -
lore it is lawful to do good on
the Sabbath day." .Our Lord clearly
teaches that there are things which
can be fitly dont on the Sabbath
.day whett the sole object is the
good of otheri, and not ow- own
selfish interests. Human lite is
sacred to God, mid to relieve suf-
fering, to bless in any way those
who are in need cannot but be
pleasing in His sight, when such
service is rendered unto Him.
Thought For Others
"So then 'et its follow afte,.
things which makefor peace, and
things whereby we may edify one
another," We are to follow after
the things which make for harmony
and peace within the community to
which we belong. It must he our
aim to help our brethren, not 10
distrust 11 id llakUll their fP:t1.11,
"Overthrow not for ineat's ,sake
the work of God. All things indeed
are clean; howbeit it is evil for
that man who eatetli with offenc,2,
The work of God here niches a
Christian brother who is not to
be harmed by our want of love
or consideration for his weaknesses.
"it is not good to eat flesh, nor
to drink wine, nor to do anything
avlieraby thy brother stumbleth."
The practical lesson to be learned
from this verse is that of .showing
a regard for the conscientious pre-
.
•
judiees of our brethern. There are
things we may do which will do
na no harm by reason of our
strength of faith and character, but
others following our example May
stumble and injure themselves
morally and spiritually.
Sacredness Of Our Body
"Or know ye not that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit
which is in you, which ye have
from God? and ye •are not your
own?" Because we are 'arises pos-
session we must do as He desires
us to do. We cannot do as we like
1.0 more than we can do as we like
with someone else's property. To
defile that which belongs to Him
is a grievons sin.
"For ye were bought with a
price: glorify God therefore in
your body." By keeping our bodies
pure, by making them the fit
dwelling place of the Holy Spirit,,
we shall glorify God. No soul can
be pure in Iselrt ant. in mind with-
out blessing others, and turning
their thoughts to the higher things,
and thus God is glorified,
•The Time When
Nazis Will Revolt
In occupied Belgium, a German
soldier made tht following spon-
taneous statement to a Belgian:
had five brothers, and only
two are left: I lost one in France
and two in Russia. I had a house
it Munich, but that was destroyed
by a bomb. My wife and my four
children have been evacuated. Be-
fore the war, I served ten months'
imprisonment because I did not like
the Nazis, Germany will only sur-
render when she as been over-
whelmed by the air raids, Then

'It pays to advertise"—so runs
ti e slogan, And believe 2ne, it is
hue, I have found that out time
and again. Here is the latest proof.
We had promised to help daughter
buy a radio last Christmas which
she , wanted ,,to get for herself.
Wanting was one thjng--getting

O small radio to be bought in the
city of Toronto, I said I would see

in our local weekly. A young fel-

next door to us, He hadn't known
' we -wanted a radio—we didn't know
he had one .to sell—but through
. the medium of a small town week-
ly we managed td make a deal.

So there you are --anything you

get it. But 11' it's matrimony, be

I suppose you have been taking
an interest in press reports of the
health insurance plan's that our
federal and provincial governments
are arranging for' us, As I sec it,
it is too early yet to formulate
any definite opinion as to their re-
spective merits even though they
differ in so many ways. It is pro-
posed to make the federal health
Plan mandatory; the provincial, op-
tional. Optional health insurance
would 'be a fine thing—for those '
contributing—but what about the
ones who worildn't? The fact that
they wouldn't insure is no 'guar-
antee that medical care would not
be required by them. I am afraid
optional health insurance might
work out pretty much the same as
optional car insurance, A man plays
safe and insures his car against
property and personal liability.
Then one clay some fellow conies
along driving a car whose brakes
won't hob'], smashes into the in-
sured car with dire results, The
other fellow carries no insurance •
and bias no means to compensate
to the owner for damage inflicted.
Thus with optional health insur-
ance voluntary subscribers would
be protected and yet, through ad-
ditional taxation, would have to
pay for the medical care of in-
digent patients w ho were non -
subscribers.

plan seems like a pretty steep fins
nuclei proposition. per capita
tax woulsi come hard on families
with limited means. However I am
strongly in favour of some kind of
health , insurance. \Vit need that
much social security aeyway. And
I hope a complete medical Check-
up every year would be one of the
conditions of the plan, with a medi-
cal card stamped to that effect.
Thus incipient disease -would be

suspectel cases of venereal disease
EVER SEE A GHOST FLYING?
Looking like a ghost plane in flight, a Grumman Hellcat fighter pre-
sented this weird appearance as it took off from U. S. carrier to
strike Jap bases in the Pacific. Plane was too fast for even speedy
newscamera rens to "stop" the action,
brought to light, It would appear
that V.D, in Canada threatens to
become a national disaster. I un-
derstand that when a person 'thus
afflicted covsults a doctor, embar
rassing questions are not.supposed
to be asked. In Russia, where V.D.
has practically been wiped out, many
questions are asked, A Russian doc-
tor is required, not only to cure
his patient, but to track the infec-
tion to its source. That may -be
one reason why Russia has been
able to put up such a magnificent
front. It wouldn't be possible in
people ravaged by the effects of
venereal disease.
Garden Notes
Better Varieties
Gardening beginners often 'Make
the mistake of asking for varieties
that perhaps were popular many
years ago, without realizing that
there has been vast improvement,
and •much better kinds are now
available. Plant breeders have
been steadily turning out better
varietio, bigger, earlier and more
tender than many of us knew in the
old days.
Corns have been developed that
give larger cobs, thicker and juic-
ier kernels, There are beets and
• carrots that grow more quickly;
radishes that are fit to use in a
matter of days from the time of
seeding; spinach that will 1101 go
to seed and become coarse so
quickly; peas that will be reaely
to put in the pot is from 50 to 60
days.
All these points are most inspor-
tent, aid especially to the beginner
or the gardener 01 parts of Canada
where early frosts are all too fre-
quent. These varieties are much
too numerous to be mentioned in
detail here. The prospective gar-
dener is advised to secure a good
seed catalogue or up-to-date gov-
ernment bulletin which lists variet-
ies suitable fat- the various areas
or Canada. Incidentally, all variet-
ies listed in Canadian seed cata-
logues are specially selected to
thrive wrier Canadian conditions.
Planting Test
Two factors determine the time
to plant --the condition of the soil
and the hardiness of whatever is
being planted. Experts stress the
extreme importance of the first
point which, they say, is very of-
ten ignored by the over -eager be-
ginner. If soil is dug too soon,
while it is still very moist, the work
of cultivation is often doubled or
trebled and injury to the crops
planted is serious. Heavy,soil will
almost invariably fortis into hard
lumps that may require almost an
axe to break them up.
The easy test to determine when
the soil is ready is to walk across
it. If it is muddy and sticks tight
to the shoes, then it is best to al-
low it to dry out some more. If
it merely proses down and crumb-
les when handled and brushes off
shoes easily, then it is right. This
is the old test of the practical gar-
dener,
50 Wedding Gowns
For British Brides
P110 weding gown — including
one from Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
—for tall, short, fat and thin brides,
recently were ready to be sent to
England for British service women
who want to get out of uniform
long enough to be married.
The gowns — many with long
formal trains, some simple and
girlish—werc donated by American
women for their British coesins 10
the armed forces. They fill a long -
felt sentimental need of British ser -
Vice WOMell who .can neither buy
nor borrow wedding dresses.
The gowns are not to be given

• MOBILE BLOOD DONOR. UNIT
Above is shown the Mobile unit which was donated by a St. Cather -
Ines citizen who wishes to remain anonymous. At right is Mrs N.
Savage, and left, Mrs. Evelyn Sheppard, the driver. Both are of the
Windsor detachment C.R.C.C., Mrs. Sheppard being Commandant.
The 'Mobile Division of the
Canadian Red Cross Society's Blood
donor Service "take's the clinic
to the donor"; this became a neces-
sity after gasoline was rationed. The
first Mobile clinic was held at
Barrie in 1042; today more than 120
Mobile clinics have been estab-
lished.
Mrs, G. R. Fuller is the Senior
Tenlinician in charge of operations
of this Service which last year was
responsible for 65,450 donations.
Headquarters of the Service are at
855 Bay St. Toronto, where 500
volunteers work at the assembling
of blood sets and preparation of
equipment under trained super -
loaned, so that each of the 00 will
go to wedding after wedding until
it is worn out.
Huge crates containing the care-
fully packed gowns and veils will
bo sent to the heads of each of
the armed services. Members who
plan to be married may apply for
the loan of a gown through their
superior offices-. After the wed-
ding the gown goes back, ready for
the next user.
Just to snake sure everything
goes right, even after the wedding,
a cookbook is enclosed with each
gowe.
vision, Farming out from tit: Work
Center are 7 Mobile Units carrying
all essential equipment for the
holding of a clinic.
The Mobile Division in Ontario
at present aims at taking 3000 don-
ation weekly; it is now organized
as far north as Timmins. Nurse
technicians and the women who'
drive and operate the mobile units
can tell many a human interest
story, as, for example when" the
clinic was held at Forest, and -a
local boy, Mac 'Wilson, now, a
radio operator for Trans Canada
Air lines, turned up. His merchant
ship torpedoed two years ago, he
lost both legs, and blood trans-
fusions saved hs life. As he don-
ated he said "I figure I still owe
them another."
Mobile clinics often find evidence
of real old pioneer courage, such as
in the case of William Teneycke,
Broadbent, who walked the 17
miles to Parry Sound when asked
to report for his donation.
If your Commuity is interested
i sponsoring a Mobile clinic write
to the office of thi Commissioner,
Mr. Stafford Roberts, 621 Jarvis
St. Toronto 5 Ont. It is necessary
to have a guarantee of at least
GG donors for the first clinic and
a minimum of 00 for regular clinics.
