PRINTED TEXT, Isa. 40; 1-11 GOLDEN TEXT—God is our refu„e and strength, a very pre- sent help in trouble. Ps. 46: 1. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. --Probably about 701 11,C, although the time cannot definitely be ascertained. Place.—The city of :Jerusalem. In this lesson we find a remark- able revelation of some of the fundamental relationships that ought to exist between God and mien, and between men and God,. On the one hand, God desires to rule men, to reward thein, to guide them as a shepherd, to give power and strength to them in weakness; but on the other hand, if these things are to be bestow- ed by God, man must open his life to the Lord so that the Lord can fili it with his own greatness and goodness. A Great Prophet Of all Israel's celebrated pro- phets, Isaiah is the king. The Writings which bear his name are among the profoundest in all lit- erature. One great theme—salva- tion by faith --- stamps them all. Isaiah is the St. Paul of the Old Testament. Ise. 40: 1. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2. Speak ye comfortably to Jer- usalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she Bath received of Jehovah's hand •double for all her sins. The chap- ter begins with the voice of God speaking to, the children of Israel, who are said to be going to en, dire great sufferings and 70 ."ears of captivity in Babylon. Is- aiah sees beyond the suffering, and beyond the captivity, the in- finite tenderness and gracious- ness of God, an unfailing love for bis people, and the final victory and peace which come to them. The pronouncement of this verse may become a glorious reality in the life of. any slave to sin, any oppressed or defeated person, if that one will recognize that all of one's sins have been atoned for in the perfect and precious seal - flee of the Lord Jesus Christ, by which sacrifice we are set free. John Baptist's Coming 3. The voice of one that crieth, e epare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in The deer a highway for our God. 4. E : eri valley shall be- exalted, and one ee tn.r. uthain and hill shall .e rade :aver; and the uneven -heel'. e ..ad'e . and the rough e:asees r3:ai and the glory of are:iecai. she::.. .e• ey ed, and all Shesh shall :,;ess. it tease :e; for the .:tlrrut cd J? .. a : hash spoken it. This g..eat pa.::aE;';r. erhess the see - end of fens'seines i brei, it:e voice of the foresenne is we:. lessee , to a:: Bible students, - :•ause of its quotation in all the .four Gospels in the :ceche of the appearance of John the Bapti :. to whom certainly t .:s prophecy points. John the Baptist, however. though -the great forerunner, did not exhaust the prophetic impli- cations of this verse, for all true servants of God are to be occu- pied in preparing the way for the ;oming of the Lord. Greatness of His Word 6. The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry': .All flesh is grass, aid ail the poodliness thereof le t• Vs ' flow- er of the field. 7.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall Stand for ever. A third voice is now heard, of 1111 - determined origin, proclaiming ;:van's frailty and the eternal pow- elr of God's word. Man is here llk- •ened to the, grass of the earth, be- ea,use he too soon passes away i( comparatively speaking:). In tone 'Wan to the brevity of life allot- ted to man, Isaiah comforts the hearts of his people by reinindieg intern that the word of (.nd .fee. eves abide.. .Revealed In His Works :`i. 0 thou that telloth good tid . t nH.a to Zioni, get thee up on A 1> g1, ni>Ont tin; 0 thou that tell- e,it good tidings to ,le'rttsaler n, lift to thy vniee with strength; lift it no, ire Ind, afraid; say unto the ,ehies of Judah, Behold, year Gt rad: 10.

This picture was flashed to New York by radio from London, usalem are, of course, synony- mous; from this city were good tidings to be proclaimed to all the other cities of Judah, calling upon thein to look unto God, because he with his strong arm will rule .the nations, and in his infinite tender- ness he will feed his flock like a shepherd, carrying the lambs in his bosom. Form Notes m J .n Bigger Profits From „Potatoes Four years ago the Ontario and Dominion Governments commenc- ed experiments on three soil types iVTiddlesex county at the request of the Caradoc Potato Growers' As- sociation. In 1938 similar experi- ments were begun in the Alliston area, South Siracoe, county. Grow ens in these famous potato growing areas asked investigations into such problems as low .Yields, and difficulties in producing potatoes of high quality. In addition to the main experiments, demonstrations hare been conducted en 38 Middle- sex farms on one -acre plots with adjacent check plots. Results obtained on the experi- mental plots and put into practice on the demonstration plots showed five main factors contributed to more profits from potatoes -- these were: Certified seed of a suitable var- iety. Plentiful supply of plant food supplied by barnyard manure, and green manure crops and artificial fertilizers. Early planting. Efficient spraying. Proper methods of harvesting, grading, packaging and labelling. FEWER ACRES, HIGHER QUALITY Growers should recognize that profits are not necessarily meanie ed by the number of acres VOW -a, but by tbe yield of good quality Cue, bers produced per aere.•The objet. tive of Ontario potato growers should be "More bushels of hetet quality potatoes from fewer acres." fl ADIO REPORTER i e DAVE RO11EINS �v SPRING CHANGES Vee •�'`t is -ns sre eftleiei t.ii.- nit: ilk Wr :.

More Are Trying To Learn French English -Canadians Ars Tak- ing Up Sister Language For Cultural Reasons, And ;3e - cause It is Useful Little by Iittle English -Canadians are realizing the error tbey have committed in the past by neglect- ing the many opportunities present- ed to them in this country to learn French, says "Le Canada" (Mont- real). They are eager to make up for lost time. This is a tendency we have had occasion• to note at the Protestant hoard of• School Commissioners. It seems now to be spreading across Canada: For some time - there has been an exchange of students between Quebec and Ontario during the summer vaca- tion which has given satisfactory' results to all concerned. The corn- merit of Ontario newspapers on the movement points to a significant 'change in the attitude of our Eng- lish-speaking compatriots. A grow- ing number of them wish to learn French for cultural reasons, to strengthen the bonds of unity am- ong our people and, finally, because it is useful. Canada is moving to- ward the right forlunia of bilingual- ism. Rideau Hall Stately Horne Fine Mansion in Ottawa Awaits New Governor-Gener- al and Princess The Earl of Athlone.
