Pias.—The Passover feast it- self was observed only in the land of Goshen where the Jews were then living, but the plagues recorded here, of course, occur- red throughout the whole land of Egypt, and the conversations that erre recorded here probably took place in the city of Zoan, known also as Tanis, where was located kine aoh's palace. Moses' Prayer "And. Moses returned unto Jeho ale, and said, Lord, where- fore hast Thou dealt ill with this people? Why is it that Thou hast sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast Thou delivered Thy people at all." Moses was discour- aged with the want of immediate success, which led hint into a bold complaint against God; first for sending hien; and then for fail- ing, as it seemed to him, to keep His word in the deliverance of the people. Jesus knows our weak- nesses and is ready to help. He knows what it is to have suf- fered and wept over a stiff- necked ,people — Ile .knows how to be touched with this feeling of oar infirmity. God Reassures Moses ."And Jehovah said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see tdbat I will do to Pharaoh: for by a strong hancnd shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive the out of the land. And God snake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah: and I ap- peared unto Abraham, unto Isaac. • and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by My name Jeho- vah I was not known to thein." The direction which Moses now received from God conveyed a fresh assurance that God would certainly accomplish His purpose; it gore a fuller revelation of His character as Jehovah, with the special promises whieh this im- plied (6:2-8) ; and it renewed the commission to' Moses to undertake the work, accompanied by. encouragement and assar- once. in God mal,relationshipHimself, nifestedt ao nnd•Io was known as Jehovah—. -as "He Who is that He is," in other words, as unchangeable, when after eenutries of silence and after the condition et Israel in Egypt had become almost hope. less, He showed that He had not forgotten His promise given to the :!ethers; that He had .all aio_ng been preparing its fulfillment; and that neither the resistance of Pharaoh, nor the might of Egypt, could stay His hand. The Seat of God • ".rind I have also established nny covenant with then, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojourninngs, wherein they eejourned. And moreover 1 have heard the groaning of the chil- dren of Israel, whom -the Egyp- tians keep hi bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretclied arm, and with great judgments: and I will take you unto me for a people, and I will be to you a. God; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians." This is henceforth to be the word of encouragement, of au- thority, and .of fellowship bo Israel. It reminds them that God is now active in their behalf; that it is God who is thus active, and that He is present to dwell in the midst of them as a father among his adopted children. , They shall know by actual ex-. perienoe that He is all that is implied in the name Jehovah, an actual, and therefore tried, de- liverer.... I am the Lord.. This sentence is here repeated for the third time in this message, en- hanced by all the emphasis which the distinction made between the divine names (v. 3) has added to its meaning, It is the seal of God thrice stamped upon His promise.

Radio Reporter It has always been said .in radio circles that about the quickest way to find out whether a pro- gram has an extensive listening audience or not, is to make a very obv1ous mistake .. have the announcer give the weon.g time • * descriJC.e Winston Churchill' asthe Prime Minister Czecho. slovakia ., make a jibing re- mark about, some particular politi- cal party, or religious Sect ,. or something .flee that. When these things happen on the rad;o, listeners who couldn't bo induced to phone or w, rte a radio station even on the chance of winning a $50,000 cash prize, rush to their telephones, or grab pen and pencil with which to assail the unfortu- nate person who made the mis- take or the offending remark. CFRB was recently the target . of a mass barrage of telephone calls following a mistake made during the "Spin to Win" program, on the' air ever Moeda Y yy evening, 8.30 to 9 o'clock. You've probably heard the show, a quiz in which the studio and .sir audiences compete for valuable cash prizes', , The question was "With what ani- mal was the Sdottish writer Rob-. ert Burns associated? ... and the answer acknowledged correct by the master of ceremonies was "a spider." Shades of Scottish his. tory! It only took ,a few seconds before the telephones began ring.. ing at CFRB, and irate Scotsmen in rapid succession pointed out that it was Robert Bruce and not Robert Burns who gained inspir- ation from watching a spider. While we're on a subject sug- gested by quiz shows, it seems appropriate to mention that there have been fewer summertime casualties among them than ,areoug any eehee types of radio entertainment. For instance, all the popular quiz shows on CFRB are carrying right through the warm weather, including "Spin to Win," ".Treasure TraiI," "Super Quiz," "What's the Answer?" and "Easy Pickin's." Even „hough the temperatures climb high into the nineties, those shows are be- ing planed before packed studio audiences.

The CBC and privately owned stations who have been working together in the national agricultural interests appear to have done quite an effective job. Girls from the city have flocked to the farms right after school closing, to lend a hand during the summer months, Farms say they can use then all and more. The respcnse from 'teen age boys, however, has not been as good as the farmers hoped for. There is still plenty of opportunity where- by young lads can offer their services during the harvesting season. How about it, boys? You wouldn't want the girls to 'beat you out, would you? „ * You've no doubt heard of the great four -motored Lancaster bombers which have been blasting away at Germany and Italy these last few months, Lancaster bomb. ere are now being made in Can- ada The first one to be built in tine Dominion will be christened July 23.

If you have sometime lived in a small town or city, I know you. If the Old Country gave you birth and your. heart just aches over the devastation of well -loved places, then I know you very well indeed.
