The return {f the horse was caused' by economic factors, But it had a deep human appeal. It was satisfying, in some unexplain« able way, to see horses on the ropds and | streets, ..

His posses. sion, at one time, actually en- nobled a man. ; z All this will not be over when the war ends. The horse 1s wanted bady for the peace. Up to this time, st-war planners have scarcely thought. about the horse Now he fs receiving the attention he deserves, It appears that the Post-War Requirements Commis- sion of London, England, estimate that Europe will require 3,000,000 horses to help in post-war recon- struction, The association asks for "animalf of 1350 pounds and over, from four to seven years of age, gentle and sound and good eonformation." Out in Calgary, the secretary of the Alberta Percheron Association, at the request of the London assocl- ation, has been making a survey of available Canadian horses. He reports that approximately 376,000 horses could be exported to Europe for post-war work. According to this survey, Ontario could spare a considerable quota--75,000 horses. The whole number of horses in Ontarlo is listed at 526,000. Only Alberta and Saskatchewan would be able to export a larger number 85,000 from the former province and 160,000 from the latter. .

Perhaps you had a pleasant surprige by one or more of your family com- ing home after you had given up all hope. of their being able to get there at all, I know of sev. eral such instances and I hope there were many more that I did not hear about at all We had a very quiet Christmas --1the quietiest. I'think, that-we have ever known. But it was happy one for all that, Yes, even though son Bob was away from home for Christmas for the first time In his life, yet, since he is + still in Canada we knew we had his account. - - Young John wasn't here either.

No, we wouldn't want to do anything so drastic as that. All we really need is Boxing Day in which to relax and we will celebrate Christmas every year to the end of time.

Jesus and the Sabbath "And it came to pass, that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears. And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the Sabbath day that which is-not lawful? And he sald unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need; and was hungry, he and they that were with him? How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave "also to them that were with him." : At once the Pharisces felt they had something by which they could condemn the Lord, and their cordemnation they thought, would be unanswerable. But our Lord justifies His act. He reminds | __them of an incident occurring in the life of their own king, David, recorded in their own Scriptures together with his men when hun- gry, went into the house of God and ate the showbread which it eat but the priests. Sabbath Made for Man "And he said unto them, the Sabbath was made for man, and not" man "for the Sabbath." If man is an immortal soul, created with the power of fellowship with God, then a Sabbath is prop- erly spent in securing refresh- ment for body and mind, 'hut more particularly in seeking and employing the opportunity for spiritual growth and divine com- munion. "So that the son of man is lord _ even of the Sabbath," Jesus, on this occasioni vindicateds the dis- _ elples who ate the ears of grain and also He had a dispensing power to give them this permis- sion as Lord also of the Sab- bath, Scribes Watch Jesus "And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered. And they watched him, whetlfer he would heal him on the Sab- bath day; that they might ac- cuse him. And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, stand forth." : + The enemies of Jesus, always question--"What sort of a world do you want to live In after the war?' And she answered "Well, I think I would lke it to be much the same as it was before the war tsarted?" Would that be your ans-. wer? It wouldn't be mine, and I don't think it would be the ane- wer of anyone who has lived'on a farm for the last twenty years. We would like to be sure that earn a living, Give everyone 'a chance of a job and most of our economic problems would auto- matically solve themselves. And tow, if you'll excuse me, my job is to feed the chickens. Isn't that always the way---just when you are ready to tackle a big job- there 1s always a little Job to do right at home.

It has become so di- vine a custom of His to heal that although there was only one man in the synagogue with disease, and that such as might have been easily overlooked, they expect that it will not escape His grac- fous notice, Thus out of His abundant goodness they mean in their baseness to construct a snare. ; = Doing Good on Sabbath "And he saith unt) them, Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace." Our Lord insinuates that if an opportunity to do good arises on the Sabbath day, and we do not take advantage of the op- portunity, but leave the good un- done, by so doing we have really done evil, There is nothing here tc indicate our Lord is repudiat- ing thex fourth commandment. He is telling these men that their regulations regarding this law were of infinitely less import ance than doing good to men, who were in need. Leper Is Healed "And when he had looked round about on them with-anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored." This miracle was remarkable for sev- eral reasons. It was: wrought in direct challengé to the scribes: to divine principles, some of their burdensome sab- batical tegulations -- 'Jesus pub- llcly separated Himself from the scribes. It was wrought without the employment of any external means either of word or touch -- the disease was not rebuked nor was the man touched, The Plot Against Jesus "And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herod- ians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him," The Pharisees were the patriotic party among the - Jews: "the. Herodians favored the Roman government, and were their na- tural enemies. For such men' to make common cause against Jesus, showed how violent was their anger and how desperate was their hatred. When men fail to receive truth as truth, they will resist it, and, in the case of our Lord, these Pharisees will not only resist what He is try- ing to reveal to them, but they will ultimately plot to put Him to death, whose truth they call a lie and whose own lives He is condemning. Longest Air Freight t.ine In the World . The longest air freight line in the world now is operating on | regular schedule. between Patter- son Field, Ohio and India, the United States Army announced recently. C-87 planes, the cargo! version of the Consolidated B-24 Lib- _erator bomber, fly the route reg- ularly delivering supplies to the air forces in the Orient. The first flight made early in October, was a 28,000-mile round trip in 12 days; including loading and unloading time, Outbound, this first flight car- ried 8,300 pounds of such equip- ment as airplane fuel pumps, starters' and magnetos. On the retarn trip, it carried 8,600 pounds of damaged parts to be repaired, The exact route was not dis- closed, but Puerto Rico is on it, indicating that the planes cross the Atlantic, Africa and the Iiddle East. It used to take months to get to India, going down around the Cape and up past Mad. gascar and across the Indian Ocean. _ «..It used to take weeks to get to India, going past Gibraltar and through the .Suez and past Aden, Street Lights Street lighting is supposed to have originated in Paris about 1700 when "the police ordered every householder to keep a lamp burning in a street window from dark to dawn. Generous Foes War is not what it might be, Two charming stories of the wars between the Maoris and the Brit. ish in the early days, recalled at a meeting of Edinburgh women, prove it, says The Edinburgh Scotsman, The first related how the guns of the British became stuck at one time in the mud. The Maoris, not liking to spoil a good fight, came over and help- ed to dislodge battle began again, Mr. Maona, a Maori himself, capped this with another story of his chivalrous ancestors, whose descendants are fighting side by side with us today. The Maoris it seems, had discovered in those old wars in New Zealand that our men were short of food. So they sent canoes up the tiver, leaded with posk, sweet potatoes, and water melons, mannea by boys 12 to 13 years of age. After they -had allowed time for the food to be cooked and enjoyed, once more the battle was resume ed. U. S.
