THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE ONT. THURSDAY, MAR. 2 1, 1935 women's chatter By Mair M. Morgan :| TOY PISTOLS VS PEACE A New York Grand Jury has passed judgment on toy pistols, contending that they should be outlawed with genuine firearms. In a presentment asking the Legislature to prohibit sale of the toys, the grand jury said: "Many burglaries and hold-ups have been carried through successfully with imitation guns." * * * * * RUSTIC MELODY At Clear Lake, Wisconsin, George Himes took a three-tined pitchfork, a milk can and a piece of wire. The result was music. Himes while mending farm machinery tightened a piece of wire over a milk can with a three-tined pitchfork. He happened to touch the wire and was pleased with the musical sound it made. Experiments resulted in the following arrangement, on which he has applied for a patent. One end of a wire is attached to the fork, handle, the other nd to the middle tine. The fork handle is inserted in a slot in the bottom of the can to keep it from sliding. He then fastens one tine in a loop attached to his chest. He draws a violin bow across the wire with one hand while sliding a cigar box up and down it with the other to vary the tone. HABIT A Grimsby husband came to Toronto on business recently and when he returned threw a package into his wife's lap. "I couldn't resist buying that material because it looked so like you," he said. Delighted with his sentiment and his thoughtfulne?- she eagerly tore open the package. As the lengths of material came to view She answered him. "I should think it would have," she said.

It is commonly understood that his first Epistle was written, probably, in 60 A.D. PLACE. -- Some believe that the jrefertnce to Babylon in 5:13 is to the actual city of Babylon on the Eur-phrates River, but it is more generally believed that it refers to the city "Finally." The apostle has been Speaking especially of the relation-Ship between husband and wife, and now comes to instruction that has to <To with Christians. "Be ye all like-Blinded." The adjective implies like the corresponding verb in Rom. 12 16; 15:5, and elsewhere, unity of ain end purpose. "Compassionate." The Greek adjective is sumpathes, from Which comes our word sympathy. It »eans, literally, suffering with an-ether. "Loving as brethren." See also 1 Pet. 1: 22. It is St. John who most fully develops this virtue (1 John 2: 1-11; 3:10-17; 4:20, 21). "Tenderhearted." Also in Eph. 4:32. The history of the word affords an interesting illustration of the influence of Christian thought. It was used by the Greek writers, especially Greek medical writers, to describe what we Should call the sanguine or courageous temperament. By St. Peter and 6t. Paul it is used for the emotional temper which shews itself in pity tad affection. "Humbleminded." Humility before God (Acts 20:19), and toward our neighbor, (1 Pet. 5:5; Phil. 2:3). "Not rendering evil for evil." A .Verbal reproduction of the precept of Beta. 12:17; 1 Thess. 5:15, an echo »f the spirit of the teaching of Matt. 1:39. As this clause forbids retaliation in act, so that which follows for-•ids retaliation in words. "Or reviling for reviling." Christ ,Was reviled (John 9:28), but he re-Tiled not again (1 Pet. 2:23). "But eontrawise blessing." Our conduct toward others is never to be a negative refraining from doing harm, but ft positive bestowal of real blessing. ^ft>r hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing." The Bonsciousness that we, as Christians, •re called to obtain a blessing, Sould be an incitement to us to ing blessing to others. "For." These next three verses are 'quoted from the Septuagint version £f Psalm 34:12-16. "He that would love life." Literally, he that willeth to love life. "And see good days." jWot necessarily in outward prosperity, but in the favor of God; days of Suffering may be good days in the truest sense. "Let him refrain his tongue from evil." There is probably no aspect of life so continuously emphasized by all writers in the New Testament, aside from faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, as that of the terrible dangers and sinfulness of evil speaking. "And his lips that they speak no guile." The word translated guile originally meant a bait, by which fish were caught, and from this it came to mean aajr hire* g$ snare, and, finally, craft, deceit. This is a word that can be applied to p moters of worthless stock, to dealers in valueless real estate, many others in our modern life, by whom so many thousands of people have lost their life-savings. "And let him turn away from t and do good." For similar instruction, see Ps. 37:27; Rom. 12:9, 21. "For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous." The discipl Christ .were to find* peace and calm" --ness in the thought of the omniscience of God. He knew all, and would reuire it. "And his ears unto their supplication." James 5:16 speaks of the relationship between i eous conduct and answered prayer. "But the fact of the Lord is upon them that do evil." In the Psalm from which this is quoted this is followed by, to cut off the r brance of them from the earth (Ps. 34:16), but Peter stops short and leaves room for repentence. "And who is he that will harm you." The verb is used elsewhere t describe the treatment suffered by Israel when in bondage in Egypt (Acts 7:6, 10), and in speaking of Herod's persecution of the Church (Acts 12:1). "If ye be zealous < that which is good." Set the good firmly before you! Then be zealous! Such is the strong, definite virtue hich is the fruit of the sanctified life. if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake. As many have done, and as even some of these early Christians were to do before their race was finished. Peter does not say if a man lives blamelessly he ill always be free from cruel treat-ent. "Blessed are ye" They are blessed who so suffer, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "And fear not their fear, neither troubled." See Isa. 8:12, 13. The command amounts to this, be not affected in heart by the fear which they strive to inspire into you. "But sanctify in your hearts Christ Lord." One of the most beautiful, profound, and yet practical phases in Scriptures. We sanctify or hallow one who is holy already, recognise the holiness, and honor what we recognize. "Being ready always to give ans-ver to every man that askeith you a eason concerning the hope that is in rou." We might read it; be ye ready-always to give justification to any ho would require you to justify the hope that is you. The hope that is in us is the Christian hope. 'Yet with meekness and fear. This ear is not the fear of God exclus-vely, nor that of men, but the aspect )f the mind as regards both: proper espect for man, and humble reverence of God "Having a good conscience; that, therein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ." Such ft conscience is a good companion for our days, and a good bedfellow For it is better, if the will of God -should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing." A fifth reason for our patiently endur-ig wrong and persecution. This consolation is understood rather by erst a^itsfios! tMa |j New York University br with City College by winning City College, fight for ball. Hears Husband Tell Of Wife "Swapping" Mrs. Leah Sewell (left), one corner of Los Angeles, Cal., love trade quadrangle, pictured in court with her sister, Mrs. Barbara Morrison, as she listened to Emerson divorce testimony. Her husband told of "trading" her for Mrs. Walter Emerson. If we suffer unjustly, it is not by chance, but according to the divine will. God wills nothing or appoints nothing but for the best reason. "Because Christ also suffered for sins once." This final statement does not only render a reason, but lays down the reason why Christian suffering for well-doing is blessed. . . Though his suffering for sin, and ours, are two very different things; (yet) he, the sinless One, suffered for sins, as a sacrifice for sins, as a made sin for us, - dying the death of a criminal; we, though not sinless, yet doing well (2:14), are to suffer if God's will so will it, for sins which are supposed to have commit-sinners. "The righteous for the unrighteous." The preposi-ion in this case means on behalf of, nd is that used of the efficacy of Christ's sufferings in Mark 14:24; John 6:51; Cor. 5:7; 1 Tim. 2:6. 'That he might bring us to God." The picture is of one being introduced to a sovereign by one who knows both the king and the one brought, before the king. "Being put to death in the flesh." His flesh, which was living flesh before, became dead flesh. "But made alive in spirit." Christ by his sufferings was taken from the life which is flesh and blood, as a man on earth, living, walking and standing in flesh and blood -- and is now placed in another life, and made spiritual and super1-natural life, which includes in itself the whole life which Christ now has ioul and body, so that He has no fleshy but a spiritual body. x CROCHETED BLOUSE PATTERN 940 Here's a blouse that majies you think of Spring flowers and garden parties!
