GOLDEN TEXT—Abstain from Avery form of evil. 1 Thess. 5 : 22. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—We do net know exactly ;evhen the feud between Cain and Abel arose. The book of Habakkuk was written about G25 B.C. The words of our Lord here quoted were littered in the auttunn of A.D. 29. The first Epistle of Paul to the T-hessalonians was written about A.D. 54. Place.—Where Cain . and Abel lived at the time this tragedy took Mace, we do not know•. Hakakkuk was a prophet to Israel. The words g,uoted from one of our Lord's dis- .4ourses were uttered in Capernaum. TPhessalonica was a great city or Asia Minor. The older classes especially need this lesson, because we are living In a most selfish age, when, more and more, while we talk a great deal about social consciousness, Igor the most part we are becoming alienated from our fellowmen, and especially in great cities find our- selves living for ourselves. Yet people have never had as man3' contacts as they have today—let the vast importance of our relation- Rhip to other people be particularly stressed here. Our Brother's Welfare Habakkuk 2: 15. "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, to thee that addest thy venom, and mxakest him drunken also, that thou gnayeet look on their nakedness!" One sins against oneself when one dirinks so as to produce a state of intoxication. Here there is a double Rin: one person gives another per- son to drink for the deliberate pur- pose of causing intoxication in him iu order that he may be made sport of. No matter if we believe drinking to be justified in some gray, let us never be guilty, even by word, of leading another per - eon into this habit which sooner or later will bring trouble, disaster and. tragedy into his life. Gen. 4: 9. "And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: , I my brother's keeper? 10. And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood eorieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 12. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wander- er shalt thou be in the earth, When (Sr shalt thou be in the earth. A double curse is pro- nounced upon Cain but first he Is given the opportunity to repent; tor God is long-suffering and not willing that any should. perish. Loving One Another It is not possible and not nec- essary to describe in detail how a Christian must be his brother's keeper. My duty to my brother— and especially to my weaker bro- ther — is to safeguard him from slipping" away from duty, to keep him mindful of his pledges and faithful to his vows. The message we have received from God is that we should love one another. The Little Ones Mark 9 : 42. "And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble. it were better for him if a great mill- stone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." Here is a word that should awaken all of us, parents, pastors, teach- ers, and all who hold positions of influence. The spiritual trust and with of a child must not be de- stroyed. 43. "And thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off; It 1!i good for thee to enter into life Maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. 45. And if thy hoot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to eater into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell. 47. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than hav- ing two, eyes to be cast into heal; '48.• where their worm dieth not and 4he"lirs is not quenched.

To begin with, we will never be able to abstain from every foram of evil unless first we have a real knowledge of wino evil is. The Word of God evil: light our pathway here. But it is not solely that we are to live ,a neutral life, refusing to do evil, but we are to live a positive, abundant life, in doing good—so constantly that our time is wholly taken up with the things that God approv, es, our minds fascinated with them. our heart loving them, so that evil things find no room in us. True love for our fellowmen will prevent us from leading others into evil, also. Hen That's Different As a hen that's different. Mrs. Jay Grizzle of Madisonville, Texas, offers her bantam. Every morning when Mrs. Griz- zle leaves her country home, this unusual fowl hops on the radius rod of the car and rides into town. After the owner parks in front of the store where she works, the hen stays near the machine. The bantam lays her eggs under the auto. At the end of the day, Mrs. Grizzle picks up the -egg, the ban- tam climbs back on the radius rod. and hen and owner go home. RADIO REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS SPECIAL PROGRAM As a contribution toward Can- ada's effort in the empire's battle against the forces of oppression, Canadian Broadcasting Industry will present a number of special programs during the coming month over a nation-wide net- work. This series will be heard on Friday evenings at 9.00. The series will be composed of variety progvarns and feature produc- tions, including vocal and instru- mental stars as- well as comedy and dramatic talent. Rupert Caplan, J. Feauk Willis, Rai Purdy and James Finlay will be in charge of the production work, and there will be shows really worth hearing. Be tuned in Friday night at nine. AROUND THE DIAL Much has been said about the power of radio and its effect on the life and behaviour of people and communities . . . but to my mind one of the outstanding ex- amples of radio's ability to help is contained in a letter written to Edward G. Robinson, and the following excerpt from that letter will, I think, prove my point: t< , your program Big Town has helped, as have a lot of other good programs, ,to show me that 1 have made a swell mess of my life and that I just CAN'T win. Well, maybe I'll get another chance some day. You know — I find myself rooting for you and the force ,f law and order to pre- vail, so I guess that there is a little hope for me." This letter was written by a man serving time in a state prison. After his "Kraft Music Hall" broadcast, Torn Harmon, the Michigan All-American halfback, was a dinner guest at Bing Cros- by's home. "We had a lot of fun talking," said Harmon, "but with some difficulty because we have opposite interests. Crosby is a football fan and I am a radio fan. He wanted to talk football all the time, and I wanted to talk radio". "Rochester" . . . Jack Benny's famous butler and handy man is • now enjoying some of the pleas- ures he missed as a boy becaur.e of the financial condition of family. Among the many things that Rochester has bought in jus- tification of his present afflu- ence is four complete electric train sets for himself! There are many surprising things to be learned about the radio stars, and I got quite a surprise the other day when I found that Edgar Bergen . . the voice behind the animated fence -post McCarthy . . . earned his first money as a photographer during the first world war. Bishop of Arctic Visits New York The Right Rev. Archibald Lang Fleming, bishop of the Arctic of the Church of England in Can- ada, pictured in the rector's study of the Grace Epicopal church in New York. The bishop, whose dio- cese covers 2,250,000 square miles of Arctic Canada, arrived in New York from Toronto. Bishop Fleming's cathedral is All Saints'. cathedral in Aklavik, a settlement on the MacKenzie river about fifty miles below the Arctic ocean and near Alaska. Disposal Of Our 1940 Apple Crop Domestic Consumption Is Taking Care of Most Of It— Fixed Prices Established Canadian commercial apple pro-' daeers coutirrue to be seriously hit as a result of the war. In peace time nearly 50 per cent of their crop was exported, with the Unit- ed Kiugdom as the principal mark- et. That market, and others over- seas, are now practically closed. Under an arrangement with the DominionGovernment and the chief exporting Provinces, certain fixed prices for apples of the 1940 crop, which ordinarily would have been exported, have been estab- lished. Many of the apples are mov- ing into domestic consumption as fresh fruit or processed in one way or another. Improvements in the technique of processing apples have been developed in the labor- atories of the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture and are prov- ing' helpful in the marketing. SMALLER CROP Canadian apple production in 1940 is estimated at 11'4 million bushels as compared with 17% million bushels in 1939. About six and three-quarter million bushels will be offered this season as fresh fruit, leaving four and three- quarter million to be processed. Hobby Wanted? Raise Poultry Retired Workers and Peopte Who Live On Pensions Are Advised by Lambton County Agricultural Representative Poultry raising as a hobby for retired railway employes, refinery workers and others who quit work to live on pensions was suggested by W. P. Macdonald, of Petrolia, Lambton agricultural represent- ative, in a recent address at the annual banquet of the Sarnia Poul- try, and Pet Stock Association. Men living in retirement would not only find it an interesting pas- time but it could eventually be- come a profitable industry, the ag- ricultural official said. PROFITABLE INDUSTRY Mr. Macdonald stressed the value of the poultry industry to Lamb - ton farmers. In 1931, he said, there were a total of 1,004,000 birds in the county, and the returns to farmers totaled $362,000. Last year there were 1,029,000 birds and to- tal receipts were $649,000. Mr. Macdonald emphasized the necessity of preserving standards in the poultry industry, and he praised the work of poultry shows in assisting in that regard. If the production of each hen in the coun- ty could be increased by 12 eggs a year, it would mean an addition- al $180,000 for the owners, he said. Jay -Walkers Blamed For Traffic Mishaps "Jay -walkers," those nonchalant pedestrians who carelessly thread their way through heavy traffic, accounted for the majority of traf- fic deaths in Montreal last year. According to figures released by the city's Traffic Department there were 85 traffic deaths in 1940, three less than the previous year, and 58 of these were persons who took chances crossing the street. Use Miniature Show Windows Small Squares of Glass Dis- play Wares In London Shops —Less Vulnerable to Bombs Shops in. London, England, both the largest and the smallest, are giving a fine example of the cour- • age and tenacity, if one were need- ed, of the capital's people. In one of London's main shop- ping streets, three of the largest stores were recently badly damag- ed, and everyone thought that it would bo months before they could ter their doors to shop. But only three days later the restaurant of one was in use again, and both the others have now opened punctual- ly on the date they promised• SAFER FROM FLYING GLASS The danger of flying glass has produced a novel effect in a num- ber of London's main shopping streets. Many large stores or shops with huge and costly glass fronts are now having those partially boarded up with wood, painted with bright and pleasing colours and designs. In the centre a small square of glass is tett, throw which a selection of the ^hop's ohoicest wares can be seen, The effect is definitely pleasing, and besides greatly reducing the danger of flying glass, saves the shopkeeper the cost of broken panes, THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson .eleenignellIN1110lJ I iirqa.m.^E".sAc). l-•It1TII... 1111��wee iz CH E EKs.
