GETS ANOTHER U-BOAT i Nazi U-boat crews are acquiring a healthy respect for patrol planes of the R,C.A.F. who scout Canada's east coast as the toll of subs sunk or damaged mounts daily. The crew shown here reported the most recent successful attack in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. "The depth charges functioned correctly"—was their laconic report. "Skip- per" of the aircraft was Flying Officer R. S. Keetley, of =loose Jaw, Sask., shown (centre) with navigator, Flying Officer Sergeant D. ave Hughes of Courtenay, B.C., (left) and of South River, Ont., wireless operator -air gunner. Some Good Advice On Wood Cutting "On farms where wood is still burned it is a good plan to get the trees felled, trimmed and skidded as soon as fall ploughing is fin- ished, so these logs can be easily got at to draw them to the wood yard near the house," says the Hon. Duncan Marshall. "The days of cutting wood with cross -cut saws is over—it now is being done by a small circular saw rigged in a frame for the purpose. Once the logs are at the wood yard it only means a few hours of a wood bee to cut them. Get this done early and the blocks can be split easiest when they have had some heavy frost. Much better, of course, if the wood is green. Live trees should be cut only, however, when there are no dead ones in the. wood lot to cut. A small piece of bush is a fine asset to any farm and saves an annual expenditure for fuel that seems to be growing larger. Everything should be ready for winter this year, as 1942 will be remembered as a good year on the land," APPOINTED Alarm Service The General Post Office, which operates telephones in Britain, is Making a lot of money for the Government awakening people at six cents a call—alarm clocks are scarce and costly. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 52 DYNAMIC CHRISTIAN LIVING Acts 6:8.15; Romans 12:1.3, 941 PRINTED TEXT Romans 12:1-3, 9-21 GOLDEN TEXT.—Be not over. come of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The martyrdom of Ste- phen took place, probably, A.D. 36. The Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle to the Romans A.D. 60. Place.—Stephen was martyred in the city of Jerusalem. The Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle from which a passage is taken for this lesson to the Christian church situated in Rome, the great capital of the Roman Empire. Renew The Mind 1. "I beseech then thereforei brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service." As Paul undertakes to describe the Chrsitian life, he begins with the body which has so much to do' with the life we lead. 2. "And be not fashioned ac- cording to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good, the acceptable and perfect will of God." We are according to what we think and when our mind is renewed or changed, then we are changed. The result is that we are enabled' to test and determine what is God's good and acceptable and perfect will for us. Anything less than, or contrary to, the will of God is not for our good, is not pleasing to God and is not cem- plete. Measure of Faith 3. "For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think Arthur Harrison Creighton has been appointed district superin- tendent of the department of im- migration and colonization for Ontario, of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with headquarters at Toronto, and brings to his new position the advantage of 15 years experience in that department. Mr. Creighton is the descend- ant of United Empire Loyalists who pioneered in New Brunswick. The community of Creightonvillc bears the name of his ancestors. A neighbor family by the name of Law, gave Arthur his maternal ,grandmother and also provided `Britain with a Prime Minister in. the person of the Right'l.-lonorable Andrew Bonar Law. Ife entered the service .of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1926 as a clerk in the steamship de- partment in Toronto, and in the following year was transferred to the department of immigration and colonization which was then enlarging its field service in 'On- tario.

The wise and prudent man will remember that his position in the community is dependent not on any merit of his own, but on the measure of his faith, and that faith is the gift of God. Lite Among Believers 9(a). "Let love be without hypocrisy." Christians are ;lot to love others by merely saying they do, and then living in such a way that it is clear they do not, but they are to love men in truth. 9(b). "Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." This admonition is something for us to do. It requires an effort. Humanly speaking, it is so easy to cleave to the evil and let go the good. But if the spirit of God indwells us, we will, by our new nature, shrink from the evil and we will plan our life so that good- ness may attend our way and call us to a higher place of life. Brotherly Love 10. "In love of the brethren be tenderly affectionate one to an- other; in honor preferring one an- other•." Christians should love each other with the same sincerity and tenderness as if they were the nearest relatives. 11. "In diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." There is nothing so in- excusable in the Christian life as indolence in the service of Christ. 12. "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing sted- fastly in prayer." Hope, patience and prayer are not only duties but the richest sources of con- solation and support. RADIO REPORTER RJXmon On Christmas Eve bells will ring out over the city of Toronto and over the national network of the C,B.C, . , bells from the Hart House carillon in the Sol- diers' Tower. J. Leland Richard- son, well known carilloneur will play the twenty-three bells of the Memorial Tower commenting at 7.15 p.m. Mr. Richardson studied the art of the carillon in Belgium, one of the oldest homes of the bell and bell -playing, and it is said that he has committed to memory more than a thousand melodies of the bells. Somehow or other we always associate Christmas Eve with the pealing of bells. Here will be an appro- priate opportunity to enjoy a charming prelude to the Day of the Great Festival itself. Virtue of Hospitality 13. "Communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality." From the very be- ginning hospitality was recog- nized as one of the most import- ant of Christian duties. The Christians looked upon themselves as a body of sten scattered throughout the world, living as aliens among strange people, and therefore bound together as the members of a body, as the beetle. ren of one family. The practical realization of this idea would de- mand that whenever a Christian went from one place to another he should find a home among the Christians. One necessary part of such interconmmnion would be the constant carrying out of the duties of hospitality. 14. "Bless then that persecute you; bless, and curse not." For a perfect illustration of this truth in our Lord's own life, see Luke 23 :34. 15. "Rejoice with them that re- joice; weep with them that weep." Christians must never think that concern for our spiritual life should ever lead to indifference to the experiences of other people. 16. "Be of the sante mind one toward another. Set not your minds on high things, but con- descend to things that are lowly." For communities and for indivi- duals the cherishing of the spirit of amity and ,concord is a condi- tion without which there will be little progress in Christian life. Life In Man's World 17. "Render to no man evil for. good. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men." Do not drift into inconsistency. Watch against what others may fairly think to be unchristian in you. 18. "If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men." To keep the peace will be hard at tines but it will be worthwhile. 19. "Avenge not yourselves, be- loved, but give place unto the wrath of God: for it is written, vengeance belongeth unto me; X will recompense saitli the Lord." God has long ago settled the whole matter By exacting justice from wrong -doers. Not one will escape. In every case perfect justice will be done. Victory of Love 20. "But if thine enemy hun- ger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head." In thus doing you will be taking the most effectual ven- geance; the idea of vengeance be- ing 'transformed' so as to become in fact the 'victory of love.' 21. "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Ai ti at that which is good and the assaults of evil will have lost half their power. Another highlight of Christmas Eve will be the singing of "Silent Night" and "Adeste Fidelis" dur- ing the Music Hall programme which gets under way at 9 p.m. and will be heard over the facili- ties of the C.B.C. The singer of these charming carols will be none other than that dean of ' vocal melody, Bing Crosby. Some time ago when Bing was asked to record these well known hymns, he was a bit worried about public reaction to the singing of sacred music by an artist whose name is associated with popular songs, However he was soon to be re- assured. The sale of the records was soon to top that of any other records Bing had ever made. Last year the profits from these record- ings were used by him to finance entertainment for soldiers .. , a generous gesture. * * The big highlight of the Christ- mas Day programme will be, of course, the all -world broadcast scheduled from 9 to 10.15 a.m. It is one of the most pretentious productions ever scheduled in the sphere of radio broadcasting, will provide pickups from five e.ontin- ents, and may be heard from practically every broadcasting sta- tion operating in countries where the English language is spoken or extensively understood. The pro- gramme is patterned to reveal tc the world at large the manna in which the United Nations are ob- serving Christmas Day. As just a few of the special features it will include interviews with fight- ing men in China, Russia and North Africa. It will portray a workers' playtime period in a busy factory of England. It will bring carols from an Anglican Cathe•• viral. It will take you to a sol- diers' party in London, a Scottish celebrations in the Land o' the Heather, as well as to bring mes- sages of Christmas goodwill or- iginating in Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and India. Frons mercilessly bombed Malta, that unsinkable aircraft -carrier of the mid -Mediterranean as it is called, will come the good cheer of a children's Christmas party. The presentation will conclude with "a message from a distinguished leader of the British Empire. His identity will be made known later." So at least promises an official bulletin. Who will it be? Two guesses, and you can hardly be wrong. The All Star Christmas party of the Columbia Broadcasting System announced from 4 to 6 p.m. Christmas Day will certainly be sky-high in popular appeal too. Already some of the best known entertainers of the North Ameri- can ether waves are scheduled to participate. Under the well known M.C. Don Atneche such popular artists as Bob Hope, Bette Davis and Abbott and Costello will be brought to, the microphone in a programme which promises scin- tillating entertainment. Very ap- propriately it's named theCF "All Star" Christmas party. , Toronto will carry the show. * And lest we forget. The day after Christmas is always one when we all sort of sit back and relax after the pressure of the Festive Season. Even Santa Claus, we imagine wants to take it easy for e day or two after his busy activities. It is specifically to Santa Claus, and to thousands of C.B.C. listeners as well, that Songstress Gail Meredith, Satur- day evening 7.15, will dedicate a programme of "Songs to Remem- ber" . those quiet old loveable melodies of which we never tire and very appropriate to the after Christmas "mood." * * * "May the spirit of Christmas be yours 365 days in the Year." So hopes your "Radio Reporter." TAKES HALIFAX POST Capt. R. G. Perchard of Mon- treal has been appointed Con- troller of loading operations for the port of Halifax, succeeding V. C.

CFRB-860 on your dial A 1=16H -HT .110 THE BOOK SHELF, THERE IS TODAY By Josephine Lawrence Josephine Lawrence has given us an American couple who can be found today in every city and town in America—a couple with courage and faith who are faced with the problem of whether to snatch what happiness they eau before the service calls or to post- pone marriage for the uncertain duration. She surrounds herr couple with kindly and unkindly neighbors that include hoarders, hysterical club -women war work- ers, engaged couples, and the out- standing figure of Mrs. Toni Fitts who would rather parade, wear a uniform, serve on com- mittees, do up bundles for far away places than keep house for her husband or help the poor. Candace and Andy, who bravely marry with the draft staring them in the face, crowd their happiness into the months that remain be• fore the dreaded hour when Andy is called. Scrimping and saving to make both ends meet, their baby Michael is born to them just a few days before Andy is in- ducted into the service. That charity begins at horse and that young couples are en- titled to marriage and a share of happiness in spite of the war is the main theme of Miss Law- rence's awrence's tender yet realistic novel of America today.
