For strategic reasons, de- tails of the work of naval craft "in the. Battle of the Atlantic are shrouded in mystery, but there is no quetion of the value of the work performed by these smaller nayal vessels, The Admiralty in London recently announced the sinking of a U-boat by two Ca- nadian corvettes, with the capture of 3 number of the crew. hi anadian shipyards have ladnched "77 corvettes, with 59 minesweepers, 11 patrol boats, 19 " motd¥boats, and a number of other small craft. With the }7 two- screw corvettes to be bujlt in the British' Columbian yards, the pro- gram of construction includes 38 additional "corvettes. 25 mine- sweepers, and 16 trawlers. The cargo-ship constfuction program on which Canadian ship- yards are engaged has an ulti- mate objective of 153 vessels, / with a total value of $267,000,- 000. During the coming year, 100 of these are expected to be launched, of which 90 will be slightly under 10,000 tons, the other 10 being smaller in size. Choice For Moderator 2 Rev. Dr. E. Leslie Pidgeon,. Minister of Erskine and Amerl- can United Church, has been officially nominated for the Mod- eratorship of the General Council of the United Church of Canada. How English Make Lovely Béne China Did you know that a china cup .contains fifty percent of bone, that the bone is, in fact, very largely responsible for the prized quality of translucency in china? - asks London Listener," ' There is an interesting story about the first use of bone for china-making. This type of pot- tery gets its name from the coun- try where it was first produced-- + China and Oriental potters guarded their secret formula very closely. ~ The master potters of Europe tried" for years, without success, to imitate this beautiful ware, which at one time was more precious than gold itself. One day, in.the early eighteenth century, it is said, a French mis- sionary showed-'some of the pot- tery of his own country to a Chin- ese sage, and asked why it was so obviously inferior. The old Chin- ese said, "You should put more bone in the ware" -- meaning more strength. When this ans- wer came to the ears of the Eng- translated - it quite Jiterally, and began to, put 'real bones into their wares. us Conductress - Has The Last Word Being conductress of -a bus is not all romance. Here is an' auth- entic story: During "rush" hour a few days ago, the conductress was detained on top taking fares and a boy 'on and went inside, afterwards an inspector and started to examine tickets, He found that the boy, through no fault of his own, had not yet paid his fare. . The conductress, coming down the stairs, received an undeserved "telling, off" by the inspector, Shortly arrived not be in two places at once. His temper became frayed and. he threatened to "report" her, where. upon she rounded upon this limb ~of officialdom* and said: "Hore's the tickets" (putting them into his hands); "Here's 'the money" ally--'Press the bell and the bus is yours." res ho inspector visibly calmed , b Their Usefulness: / 26.

John 14:2, 3 THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time--The passage taken from Matthew belongs to a discourse spoken «on Tuesday. of Passion Week, April 4, A.D, 30; taken © from - John's (Gospel was spoken on Thursday night of the same week. The Second Epistle of Paul to the Church at Corinth was written abolt"A.D. 69 or 60, while his Second Epistle to Timothy was written at the very end of his lite, A.D. 65 or 66. THe First Bpistle of Peter was written about A.D, 60; the book of Revelation, A.D. 95. Place --Thoe two discourses of Christ here used were uttered in -Jerusalem. Paul wrote the Second Epistle to the Corinthians from Ephesus, and the Second Epistle of Timothy from Rome. We do not' know from what city Peter wrote his. First Epistle; all we know about the hqok of Revelation, as far as geography is concerned, Is that the vislons were recelved on the Island of Patmos, 1. "Let not your heart be troub- led: believe in God, believe also In me." The Lord comforts the desciples with the sure hope that, though Ie must leave them, He and they shall meet again and He intimates that Ho is tho personal revelation of the Father, 2. "In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you." There aro many mansions or dwelling places, there 1Is_ room enough for all. Christ, in' [is fairness, would not 'have invited them to a place In which there was not room for all. "For. go to prepare a place for you." This is a beautiful way for our Lord to speak of His exodus from this world. 3. "And If 1 go and prepare a place for yout, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Just as Christ came down from glory once to do a specific work, He will como again to do another specific work. He wants us to be with Him because He loves us. 4. "And whither 1 go, ye know the way.- 6. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we knaw not whither thou goest; how know we the way?" Jesus goes by the way in which He lived, a kind of life un- mistakably pointing towards God as source and goal. We conjecture whore a man is going by the life he lives. 6. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way and the truth, and the life." The way Is a recognized name for Christianity. To know the truth is also to know the way to God. He Is the life, being one with the living Father and being sent by Him. To know the life Is to know the way to God. "No one cometh unto the Father, but by me.' The Apostle Paul constantly i access to the Father only through emphasizes the truth that we have the Lord Jesus Christ. 1. "And he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, . proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on _any more: and the -throne-of-God "4. and' they shall see His face; * that the earth will be peopled with that Avas the tree of life, bearing --twelvo manna of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree wero for the healing of the nations." The river of wafer of life is a beautiful sym- bol of life in Its gladness, purity and activity, ever flowing through the heavenly city. As the water of the river Is called the water of life, so the tree here seen with its twelve fruits 1s called the tree of life, which of course reminds us of the Garden of den, 3. "And there shall-be no curse and of the Lamb shall be, therein: and His servants shall serve Him; and His name shall be on thelr foreheads. 5. And there shall be night .no- more; - and- they -need -no light of lamp nelther light of gun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall relgn for- ever and ever." Four things are sald here about the children of God. in their heavenly home: they - will serve the Lamb they will be- hold His face, His .name will be.s on their foreheads, and they shall rejgn forever and ever, What does the text mean, that we shall reign' forever and ever?

Thomas Times-Journal The Royal Navy is doing a job that is one of the wonders of the world because It has to cover al most the entire seven seas with vastly less support 'than {t had in tho last war. "This success Is largely due to the greater -use of types of small craft which were not employed during 1914-18, par- ticularly the corvette, and fast, powerful moter and other mosquito boats doing. patrol work. There are hundreds of small ships which enjoy 'the dignity of being. valu- able units of His Majesty's Royal Navy. Great Britaln started off the pre- sent war with a serlous inferlor- ity in capital ships compared 'with the First Great War, In 1914 she was assisted by the navies of France, Russia, Japan, and in April 1915, Italy joined In. In April 1917 the United States was added to the naval forces of the Allies. The French -navy dropped out of the present 'war in June last year, and about the same time Italy was added against us. On the other hand Germany also began the war with less power than in 1914, Comparative Losses The following table shows how small have been the losscs of the Royal Navy during the first two the last one: Battleships ....... 10 1 Battle crulsers 3 1 Alrcratt carriers None fn®use 1 Cruisers w 17+ 9 Destroyers . 24 53 Submarines... 24 29 The heavy losses in 1914-16 chiefly occurred in the battles of Coronel and Jutland and during the attempts to force the Dar- danelles. Mines also accounted for a good many, including the hrand new battleship Audacious in the Irish Sea, Britain's loss of 63 destroyers this time 1s offset, however, .by the 50 old destroyers traded with the United States for naval bases. And on this occaslon Canada is making a wonderful contribution with around 250 ships. The num- ber is being added to weekly. Sam's Going Back To Hill Country 8am Cleland, 77-year-old pros- pector who drifted into Wells, B.C. not long ago, after 12 yaars of solitude in -the hills of what he calls "Mountain Goat" country, decided after getting an earful of the war mews that he wouldn't stay here any longer than neces- sary, "I'm going back to the hills where I belong," he said. "Next time I come out, I may stay out, but not now, not now," Cleland, who was wounded at Vimy Rldge in the First Great War and homesteaded in the Peace River country before taking to prospecting in the Interior hills of British Columbia, sald he couldn't believe Britain and Germany were at war again. 3:27 "We licked those fellows years ago and you can't tell me they are looking for more," declared Cleland, who said he. hadn't seen a fellow human since 1932. Can Write On It | Or Dress In It The Germans also have their campai for economy in the jse of paper, only they put in on rather different grounds from the British, Their slogan is one that comes near to' the heart. It is in effect "Paper or Clothes?" As the "Zeitschrift fur offentliche Wirts. chaft" pits it: "Cellulose, the basis of paper production, only exists once, and we have the choice whe- ther fo write on It or to dress in it./ By economizing in the use of paper exerybody can help to decide with the next clothing ~ratlon-card he or she Is to obtain an extra pair of stocings and ma- terial for another spring dress or working suit" The point of course, _Clothed mainly in synthetic fibres, and such luxuries as wool, cotton, flax, and silk rarely come his way.
