"And upon this came his dis- ciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said. What scekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?" The expression, 'Xo man .-aid,' seems to imply that no man ventured to question our Lord's reason for talking with the wo- man. There is a lesson for us in this. When we cannot under- stand the reason of our Lord's dealings with souls, let us hold our peace, and try to believe that there are reasons which we shall know one day. A good servant in a (rreat house must do hi* own duty and ask no questions. The Woman'* Testimony "So the woman left her water- pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people. Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?" It is almost a universal experience in every age, and among every type of people, that as soon as they have found the Saviour they must go and tell others about it. Thus, our Lord's command to go into all the world preaching the gospel rests solidly upon the natural, normal urging of the Holy Spirit in the regen- erated life. Some people are drawn to Christ by His leaching; some by His holy character; and some by His sacrificial death; some by the hope which He of- fers; others in other ways. This woman marveled at Christ because of His knowledge of all that she had ever done. Earnestneu and Humility "They went out of the city, and were coming to him." We are astonished at the immediate effect of the woman's words. However, three causes may have, in a secondary sense, been at work. Her honest, enthusiastic, solemn manner; the circumstance that she felt the matter so im- portant as to humble herself by alluding publicly to her sinful life; and lastly, the desire which many of them felt for the com- ing of the great Deliverer. Earn- estness and humility are the two great requisites in an evangelist; and often where we least expect it, God has prepared the way for the reception of His truth by creating in a soul a hunger and thirst after His righteousness. Think it therefore not useless to speak to Samaritans about Israel's Messiah. Chriit' Teaching "Iii the meanwhile the disciples prayed him, saying, Kabbi, eat. But he said unto them, 1 have meat to eat that ye know not. The disciples therefore said one to another. Hath any man brought him aught to- eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work." In these words we have a revelation ol the true meaning of what He had been doing in connection with this woman. He had been doing the will of God and accomplish- ing his work. He had dealt with her as to bring her face to fuen with the reality of her past, nd leading her forward had giv>;i to her Ihtt water of lift*. j>u was the will of God; this was His work. Having said this, He in- dicated to His disciples that this also was their work. "White Unto Harvest" "Say not ye, there are yet foui months, and then conieth the har- vest? behold, I say unto you. Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest." These words suggest victory, reward, ac- complishment. The ploughing and preparing- all over, the sowing and the long vigil done, and at last the fields ready for the reaper. Two notes merge in them, those of opportunity and responsibility. Fields white to harvest constitute a call and a challenge. Is there any greater calamity in agricul- ture than harvest ungatherod? Is there any greater'-tragedy in the redemptive purpose and process of God than harvest unfathered? Joy of Harvester! "He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gatheroth fruit unto life eternal ; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together." 'To receive wages' describes the joy with which these* harvesters are to be filled when gathering all souls and introduc- ing them into the kingdom ol heaven. Sower and Reapers "For herein is the saying- true, One soweth and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered .nto their labor." Christ is the sower; His apostles are the reapers. As compared with His labors, theirs might be esteemed as none at all.

She had brought it about for the reason that she her- self had been radically changed in character by the power 01 Christ, and filled with a hiffh en- thusiasm for souls. By her simple timeliness and activity in wit- nessing', she set a marked re- ligious movement on foot, and led many souls out of darkness into light, and out of death into life. Requeit of Samaritan* "So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him t* abide with them: and he abode there two days." In reading this passage, we cannot but be re- minded of a similar incident, not long before this, when John and Simon asked the Lord, "Where dwellest Thou?" with the result that "they abode with him that day." Our desire to abide with Christ is only the echo of His de- sire to have us abide with Him. Saviour of the World "And many more believed be- cause of his word. And they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savi- our of the world." It is u great hour when a young- man, brought up in a Christian home to believe in Christ ns the Son of God, and the Saviour of the world, because of his faith in the testimony of his father and mother, finally comes to know Chi'ist in a very personal way, not because of what s-ome one else has said, but because he has heard the Lord speak out of His own Word, and knows whereof he believes by a personal experience. Canada Plans Cut In Wheat Acreage Lowest Mark Since 1918 Objective For 1943 Acreage reduction is no guar- antee of smaller wheat crops, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics status in a report on the wheat situation, but crop conditions next year are nut likely to be UK fa- vorable as this season ami if acre- age reduction is carried out next Spring tiki i:M::-4 1 crop year should see an improvement In the statistical position in \orth Amer- ica. Tlie objectives for Canadian ag- riculture In 10411, including wheat, were outlined ;U a Dominion- Provincial conference ourly In DP- ceinlipr. The Bureau said Canada':; wheat acruago reduction program next year will be "quite drastic." The Bureau said Canadian farm- ers have been asked to reduce wheat acreage to its lowest level since 1918 and It this goal Is reach- ed It will meau a reduction of more than 11,000,000 acres or 39 percent from the peak level of 28.700,000 IKTPS attained in 1940. All ff forts to curtail wheat crops through the medium of re- duceil acreage were frustrated In 194,:; by thfl unpredictable weather- man. A brand of weather was serv- ed up in Canada and the Uiiitfd States which resulted In record yields per acre and the production of enormous crops. Edison Forecast Rubber Shortage Thomas Alva Edison was a prophet as well as a great inven- tor, his son, Gov. Charles Kdison, has learned. A magazine article quoting the inventor as predicting the war and the rubber shortage was received by the Governor from a friend. The article, written in 1!>27, stat- ed: "The United States never has had and never will have on hand enough rubber to run the, coun- try (or more than a year. "Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, and I have been considering what this country would do in case of a war which would cut off our rubber supply. "Don't make any mistake about that war. It will come. Wo may run along for a good many years without it, hut sooner or later na- tions of Europe and Asia will combine apainst the United States. The first thing they will do will be to cut off our rubber supply." RADIO REPORTER Br REX FROST "Outside the wind is howling . . howliiuj . . howling.

These stories are hack on the air once again, exciting, hysterically dramatic and thrilling as ever. * * "This is London calling." There will be few owners of a radio receiver in Canada who have not heard those words with their English intonation. The now familiar identification of broad- casts originating in Great Britain was first heard at 9.30 a.m. Lon- don time, December IKtli, 1!>32. and came from u small studio in the heart of the British capital, as a little studio audience of five people listened. That audience consisted of five men . . . two secretaries, a studio pianist, a news-reader and the well known commentator Vernon Bartlett. This was the prelude, so to speak, of the first of the series of in- ternational transmissions of the B.I3.C. which was to be heard six days later and which curried the voice of His Late Sfajesty, King George Vth to five continents . . Dec. 25th, 11)32. The transmis- sions wore directed at that time to the members of the British Commonwealth, were picked up by short wave receivers at strategic points, and then rebroadcast over the standard wave lengths. T day "This is London calling" a phrase rebroadcast either di- rectly or by means of recoru.ii, - by over three hundred stations In the American sphere ... in Can- ada, the U.S.A., Puerto Kico, Alaska, Hawaii ... as well as by stations all over the world where Knglisli is spoken or understood. The tremendous expansion ol fighting fronts in which soldiers of the United Nations face the enemy has necessitated an ever inriva.-'ii'g scripe of B.H.C. trans- mission service abroad. Thus is radio playing its important part in co-ordinatinir the step of those who march along the [toad to Victory. Last October marked the be- ginning' of a new era in the Can- adian educational system. Fol- lowing the lead given by the net- works of the United States, th Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion, three months ago, began co-operative series of school pro- grammes which found educational authorities collaborating officially to provide classroom lessons over the air. With the completion of the experimental period, the plan is being considerably expanded in the New Year. Kvcry Friday morning at ten o'clock over th coast to coast network, school children will be entertained and instructed by the "Heroes of Canada" series. You might call it an easy way to study history. Many and many a boy or girl in Canada to whom the text-book pioneers of this Dominion have remained until now nebulous fig- ures, will find these builders of the past emerging as living, vital people, current day radio voice! to interpret the courage and ac- complishments of the heroes of yesteryears. ... in a modern dramatic setting. As nart of this series, the last Friday of every month will be devoted to ''Cana- dian horizons' dealing with na- tional events, or with special achievements of man. as they af- fect the Canadian way of life. Then again, Canadian children ara to participate in two of the Col- umhia "School of the Air" series, Mondays and Thursday mornings at 10 o'clock in which young Canada will exchange with young America stories of exploits and people who have contributed to the building of North America.
