Empire Founded By Race Taught To Rely Upon 'ersonal [Initiative What made England? Here is the answer of the Rt, Hon, Lord Queensborough, president of the Royal Society of St. George, if a: recent statement: "The history of the English has been one of sturdy self reliance in the individual members of the race, fostered and nurtured through the generations, The early Empire of the Elizabethans was founded and' has been, through the centur- fes, maintained by a race taught to rely upon the personal initiative and qualities of the individual, and not to rest upon the State. Free. dom of political: and. religious con- science was. established after many bitter struggles and that freedom tended to. give the English their extraordinary variety, which has been part of the secret of the na- 'tional greatness." The planters of a new world should bear that in mind, says The Financial Post. Mankind along with 'all other animal and plant life, pays an enormous price for security and safety when it is guaranteed by others, © I'he forward steps In mankind's history have been those periods in which individuals, self-reliant and free in mind and body, have had the daring and energy, and the privilege of using that®daring and energy, for their own and far the public weal. ' *Womb to tomb security plans must not forget that basic fact, A Dangerous War It is good to be strong and wise, It is good to be lucky, And Mr, Churchill's humor is always with him. In the First World War his headquarters were in a farmhouse continually subject to shelling, A fidgety general warned him against subjecting himself and his officers to such constant danger. "I tell you i*s very dangerous," says Fuss and Feathers. "Yes," says Lieuten- ant-Colonel Churchill, "but after all this is a very dangerous war." --New York Times, Looking at thé picture of Liola Albanese, star of "The Treasure Hour of Song", heard every Thursday 9.30-10.00 p.m. EWT, Liola® Albanese LJ ' . over Mutual and CKCL, Tororito; brings to mind the fact that ra- dio's'pedple have found a new out- let for their dfamatic ability. be- cause of the war, Radio drama has increased to a large percent since _ the war broke out.

When the Dionne = quintuplets - appeared at Maple Leaf Gardens in aid of the third War Loan, they were picked up and broadcast to the United States network, The United States Treasury weekly show, "The Bond Wagon", did a pick-up from Little' Norway on the occasion of the preview of John Steinbeck's "The Moon Is Down". Sir Cedric and Lady Hardwicke came from New York to play the lead in a drama that was produced depicting exploits. of the Norwegians, in which the actual characters de- picted' were "played by the heroes 'themselves. This particular drama created quite a sénsation in the United States and as a'result radio |. station CKCL which did production , and the pick-up received a citation from the United States Govern- ment "for distinguished service to the United States war effort," .

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--Tuesday of Passion Week, ) April 4, A.D, 30, Place--The Mount of Olives, directly east of, and opposite to, the city of Jerusalem, Questions Asked of Jesus "And as he sat on the Mount of Olives over against the temple, Pe vter and James and John and Aa- drew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accom- plished?" Their question divides (13 When shall the destruction of the temple take place? (2) What shall be the sign of thy coming? (3) What shall be the sign of the end of the world? Christ's First Warning "And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray". The first ut- terance of Christ is a warning, a warning against deception, and a deception of the worst kind, per- taining to false religious leaders who will come in the name of Christ to deceive many, "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors or wars, be not troub- led: these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; - there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines; these things are the beginning of tra- vail." " Our Lord emphasizes first wars among men, then earthquakes, then famines and then distress. Most of all He seems to emphasize the multiplication of military conflicts. Three will be wors of nationalities. One nation shall rise in its anger to come down upon another. King- doms will rise up to put down kingdoms. , How true this has been in our age. As one kingdom is put down, so another rises in strength til that in due time is overcome. But He bids His disciples not to be troubled, and His words also apply to believers to-day. Such condi- tions were only the natural course of things--things that in the Divine purpose have to come. Christ's Second Warning "But take ye heed to yourselves: for. they shall deliver you up to coancilsi and in synagogues: shall ye be beatén; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them." Christ's first warning was against deception and error in regard to the approach of the end.

Everyone in this district goes to town on Satdir- day. Business of every kind Is reserved, if possible, until the end of the week. Unless it is something special you don't bother telephoning your friends about this and that through the week because you know you are sure to see them on Saturday, Yes, going to town on Saturday is almost an institution-- although restricted buying and early closing has modified it consider- ably. But some things remain much the same , . , neighbour still meets neighbour; there are two shows at the theatre each night; the library is open afternoon and evening: the local department store is as crowded as a city bars gain basement; and any time there is an auction sale you can almost stake your reputation on the chance that it will be on a Saturday. A week ago, for instance, I arrived in town about four-thirty. Crowd- ed! | There wasn't parking room anywhere within reasonable dis- tance of the stores. Cars were everywhere, but yet few people in the stores. I was mystified ., , . and then I remembered. Of course an auction sale--one which included every kind of tool a man was likely to need. either on or off a farm, So I suppose those who usually came at night had come this week in the afternoon instead. And I understand the bidding went just wild, . * * * But it is really yesterday I wanted to tell you about. Not only was there shopping to do, but there was also a matinee. For weeks I had been longing to sce "Lassie Come Home", Now it was here-- but alas, so was the worst storm of -the winter, Frankly [ was dubious about going out at all.

Emperor of Rome himself. The Divine Purpose "And the gospel must first be preached unto all nations." The Gospel must be preached through- out the world as a preparation for the end. This is in the Divine pur- pose. destiny, and until that destiny is fulfilled, the 'end' will not be. 'Christ's Third Warning "Heaven and earth shall pass away... And what I say unto you I say unto all, watch." No one knows when Christ will return. Men who set dates for the end of this age and for the day of our Lord's return are assuming to have wisdom be- yond the wisdom of Jesus, Here we have Christ's third warning. The first against de- ception: the second against spirit. ual failure: the third against neg- ligence. Tt is the will of God that His people should always live in readiness for the coming of the Lord. The Saviour realized His words were not for the Apostles alone. He was speaking, through them, to the people of every gen- eration and age. Every believer, however humble his place in the church, however untalented he may be, is included in the Master's call . to watch, ~ Third Party Two twenty-year-old Canadian airmen in Britain who have tlown in raids on Berlin applied for a third-party insurance to ride a. motorcycle.
