Place. --The Wildernes of Sin, on the, t .-e:ern side of the Red Sea, on the ,,v -y to Mount Sinai. Some of the ;laces mentioned in our lesson t:r:ve not yet been definite- ly bleu it'ed. i1cr.'s Promise To Israel "And ,-, hovah spake unto Moses, saying, i have heard the murmur- ings of the children of Israel: speak limo them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the moaning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I ans. Jc•bcvah your God." Once again the Lord speaks to Moses, telling Lint that through this ex- peri.euee of enjoying God's bounty the Isere:iter should know that God was :he Lord their God. The insttitct.,cu of His people is a primary object with Gad. He has gifted them with reason, and He expects to be served with the un- derstand'irg and the will. It is manliest that every event to Isis dealings with them is a step in the process •if their spiritual train- inp,. "And :t came to pass at even, that. the .;:tails came up, and cov- ered the ramp; and in the morning the de ley round about the camp." Au oretordinary flight of quails was over the camp. It is a not nec:<ruttnon occurrence that, when zvenried, these birds droop and settle :kern for rest, so as to be eac;ily r1'ebbed with sticks, and ev- en caught by the hand. The mir- aci+loua:. 1•zovision chiefly lay in the e4t:aordinary number, the seasonal:' -e arrival, and the pe- culiar c:-eumstances under which these 71oefis came. felaana For The Hungry "Ands when the dew that lay w;714 gore: up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, se.a11 as the hoarfrost on the groped. And when the children of Ismer' saw it, they said one to timelier, What is it? for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them. It is the bread which Jehovah Bath given you to eat." There is a natural substance with which This manna is compared. It is a deposit from the air which falls h: trees, stones, grass, etc., and is generally thick and sticky like honey, but under certain eir- eurn:,tanees is concreted into small ,granular masses. It is collected by the Arabs and eaten. with their unleavened cakes as condiment. It so far resembles the manna that V; comer, with the dew; it is never found in large quantities and it does nut fall for more than two meths in the year, But the man- ta of rueripture is generally regard - et; as a.nira.culous substance and not tt nateral product, Greed •and Unbelief "This le the thing which Je- hovah in-th commanded. Gather yea of It every hien according to his eating; an over a head, as eor,l ung to the number of your per - sone, shall ye take it, every 11111.11 for them that are in his tent. And the ehildeken ot Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less. And 'when they nea.snred it with . art ol,tr,r, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathoiod little had no lack; they ga11,<n'ot every man according to hip •..,rtting." No state is to be accumulated, It woss in vain that any one' dis- oluesed this command. That which war ro-.ervetl till the second day be,Ttnc rotten. This in itself was ntiraca.toui, as the natural manna kept for a considerable time. If a ran trastod God for tomorrow, he A Farm Wife Chats To Women by Gwendoline P. Clarke Ilow many cherries do you sap - pose there are in an ordinary she quart basket? Of course you have never tried to count thein, have you—and nor have I—but still; take a guess, and then I will tell yob why I ask. You see, we itad a basket or cherries left down town at tate home of a friend and when I called for them I found they were al- ready pitted. Now wasn't that a grand surprise? This friend lives alone—and it may have, been cur- iosity; I don't know—but as she pitted the cherries she counted them, and . here comes the answer .., there were eleven hundred and fifty cherries in that s' one basket. Can you believe it? So now, if you have an eleven quart basket of cherries in front of you to pit will ti stake the work any easier, do you think, to realize that probably approximate- ly two thousand cherries will slip and slide through your juicy fin- gers before the job is done? And here is another thought. If -there are two thousand cherries in an eleven quart basket how many cherries would there be on an average tree? It's a silly question of course, but still it does make you realize how, as always, it's the little things that count. One cherry, and then another cherry, and so on, and so forth, and soon a basket is filled to the top. * * * And so it is with.our day's work. Perhas no job in itself is very big but yet one after another the tasks are done until by the end of the day we realize we have put in a good many hours of solid work—on., just jobs` that make up our ordinary home life—getting meals, washing dishes, bathing the baby, kissing the bumps to make them well; ironing, sweeping, dusting, shopping, hoeing, feeding chickens and gathering eggs, and, I hope, somewhere in among these multiple chores there has also been time for Red Cross knitting and sewing. Even in the busiest day there should still be time for war work. I say "war work" for want of a better description. Personally I do would be content to stop collecting when he had filled his omer, tempt- ing as the easily gathered abund- ance would be. Greed and unbelief would masquerade then as now, under the -guise of prudent fore- sight. Only he who absolutely trusted God to provide for Itim would eat up his portion, and lie down at night with a quiet heart, knowing that He who had fed hien would feed. Water From The Rock "And the people thirsted there for water; and the people mur- mured against Moses, and said, "Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?" Instead of asking, Moses to pray to God for relief, they be- gan to murmur and complain again, as they had previously done, naturally provoking Moses. This time Moses is driven to ask the Lord what he is to do. "And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone tae. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Is- rael." The abundant provision of water for a thirsty people, and the bring- ing of it near to them, speaks of God's supply of water of life in Christ. It is the bringing of sal- vation near to sinful men and wo- rsen in Christ through His aton- ing death for them. As front the smitten rock the water flowed abundantly and satisfied the crav- ings of the people, even so from Christ, smitten at the cross, the water of 'life, as salvation flows abundantly to satisfy the cravings and thirst of hearts. 'Whosoever driuketh of this water shall never thi ret.' not think that war work should be considered as something apart from our ondivary workas some. thing that we will do when . we get around to it. I think we should., regard it as part of our day's work; as something that must bo done ere the sun goes down—or maybe after the sun goes down. There is still so much need for ' all the sewing and knitting we can do, If one of those poor little bombed out children should corns' to your door—frightened, ragged, hungry and homeless—how gladly you would take her in; how quick- ly uickly you would get good nourishing food; how frantically you would search the house over for suitable: clothes; and how gently you would try to reassure the terror-stricken child that with you she .would. be safe --that you would take care of. her. Ane I not right? I am sure I am. I know- every woman who reads this column would open her heart to any little homeless child —if site were to see her. Ah, but there's the rub. We cannot often see the ones for whom we work - -or . for whom we should work. But we have imagination and we can • use it. And if we do, war` will quite naturally become part of our daily round. * * * Well, I have just conte from the field where I have been helping Parinev to assemble the binder ready for cutting. It was so long sines I had helped with this job that I had forgotten all the little things there were to clo—to un- wind the wheel; to' balance the binder while Partner did this thing and that; to put a bolt in here and a hook on there, and se many other little jobs before the binder is ready for action. Finally ., we were all ready to go and when Partner started cutting I followed''%'. the binder to retrieve the first row of sheaves, which are always thrown into the standing grain`;,>'.I and must be moved before the second round is cut. Some of them were light, but most of then were heavy, and quite as much as I wanted to lift, so, when we carne to the end of the round I was glad when Partner said; "Well, I guess • that is all i need you for this tune." Tapping a typewriter is a lot easier Chau struggling with. a pitchfork. .* * And how is the election coming along itt . your district? Interrest seems to be pretty dead around here. I am not the least bit excited • -' about it myself but, when August 4 comes, I'll be out to vote. If we don't do our part then we hay, no come -back if the government, doesn't do what suits .us. Dont; ; forget freedom to think and vote the way we please is one of the_, things our Hien are fighting for. So, countrywomen everywhere, let '. us hie to the polls on August 4. And of course we dials all cast our vote for the right party! CANADIAN CI-IIEF Maj -Gen. G, G.

VATICAN Com' ---- SPARED BY ALLIED BOMBS The air view above shows the city of Rome, with the ancient, walled Vatican City outlined and some of its famous buildings and historic monuments indicated by numbers. They are (1) The Pope's Palace, which includes the famed Sistine and Pauline chapels, with their priceless treasures of paint- ings and sculpture. (2) The Vatican museum of paintings. (3) Vatican Gardena, where popes walked during period when they were confined to the Vatican State. (4) The Observatory, one of the most im- portant in the astronomical world. (5) Vatican radio station. (6) Governor's Palace. (7) St. P'eter's, with its circular plaza adjoining it.

Long before the British Broadcast- ing Corporation was aroused to counter -action, German and Ital- ian short wave was pounding out Axis propaganda in the native tongues of the tribes of Northern Africa and the Middle East. And this era of practically unrhalleng- ed Nazi and Fascist propaganda cane into being long before the war started. The United Nations only began to wit the war of radio propaganda in the Meditsrraneau when, following the landing of 'United Nations troops in French Northwest Africa, they took con- trol of Radio Algiers. From that time on, as the saying goes, they have really gone to town with a barrage of United Nations propa, ganda directed to the peoples of the Mediterranean area in numer- ous languages, African and Euro- pean. Moreover Radio Algiers has supplied the "Underground" press of Europe with truthful war infor- mation and encouragement to hang on until their hour of liberation arrives, supplementing thereby .:the- short wave broadcasts direct- ed to the occupied countries from London and Washington. * * * The United Nations radio propa- ganda to Italy was supplemented by the dropping of pamphlets by aircraft telling the people when to listen, and on what wavelength and also emphasizing the appeals of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the president of the United States to Italian citizens to oust 11 Duce. It was not until our fighting forces landed on Ital- Ian soil that they realized the power of the propaganda which had preceded the military, naval anti air assault. In many parts of Sicily the populace was out to welcome the United Nations sol- diers. Significant also was the request of a general of the Ital- ian Array, who together with an officer of the Italian Navy asked their captors to arrange to broad- cast their names over this B.B.C. so that their families would know they were prisoners, and thereby safe. • o * * A rather amusing incident comes from Nazi occupied IIol. land where an order was recently issued by the German authorities confiscating all radio receiving sets, When it was learned that members of the Dutch Nazi party might, upon application, be allow- ed to keep their radios, there was quite a rush of Hollander's to join the Dutch Nazis ... temporary Radio -Nazis, as they are described by the Government of Holland in exile. * * T1te announcement has just been made that Judith Evelyn, Broadway Dramatic star of the play "Angel Street" is to take over the currently poputar Colum- bia feature, "Madeleine Carroll reads," heard Monday through .Friday 5.00 to 6.15 p.m. over CFRB, Toronto. It will then be called "Judith Evelyn Reads." Many of her friends in Ontario will remember Judith Evelyn when in her early days in radio she was heard in many charac- ter parts over Toronto stations. That of course, was before Judith hit the big lights of Broadway. None are prouder of the successes' of Judith Evelyn than her par - eats, Mr. and Mrs. Les Small- wood, mallwood, of Perth, Ontario. * * Kinsmen Clubs across Canada in recent years have made a nig'ity fine contribution to social welfare projects which influence the lives of Canadian and British youngsters. linemen in many parts of Canada, their wives the kir ette . and the numerous frienis of good fellowship which these clubs represent will welcome the special broadcast of the Kinsmen Nati,nal Convention, which will rye o•it over the National Network of the CBC Saturday, August 7, at 3 p.m. SONG BIRD HORIZONTAL 1,5 Pictured singer. 10 Argue, 14 Flower. 15 Sweet substance, 16 Melody. 17 Toothlike. 19 Music note. 20 Relate. 21 Monster. 22 Redact. 24 Rug. 27 Sets upright. 31 Beverage. 32 Wed, 36 Part of mouth. 37 Sun. 38 Tree. 39 Winglike part, 40 Article, 41 Wired instrument. 45 Snare. 46 Spring holiday. 48 Id est (abbr,). 49 Short article. 51 Avenue (abbr.). 52 Conceited.
