Clarke By We had a surprise this weck -- and a very pleasant one. - A tele- phone call from Toronto . . . and our son's voice saying he was on his way home. We knew he was due for a furlough but had not ex- pected him so soon. © And he arrived just as Partner was ready to start on the land -- so we had someone to drive the tractor for us after all. Of course we thought our seeding would be finished in double quick time, But no -- one field was too wet to work, and then before it had a chance to dry it rained again. So here we are with one field .partly sown and that is all. On Monday son Bob leaves for Quebec. He has a feeling that if the invasion gets underway it is quite possible men on furlough may be recalled. And when a visit to your best girl is at stake there is no sense in taking chances. Imagine | a fellow being recalled before he had had a chance to .see his girl. Being a soldier is a tough business Jonictinies, isn't it? x x x By the way Bob was very inuch amused at his sister and I think- ing him "safe" as long as he was on Vancouver Island and not over- seas. By the time he had finished telling me a few things I realised that all the casualties are not on the battlefield, It put me in mind of a stupid little rhyme I used to say as a child. up to some sort of mischief--"If my mother only knew, her heart would surely break in two". Our boys in training --and on duty, as Bob is -- might often think "that--and with some reason, x Fk Our spring flowers are just com= ing into bloom with more buds showing than I have seen for a good many years, We have daffies and narcissi along. the edge" of the border from one end of the~gdr- den to the other.

As it is one can only take. time to do what is absolately necessary for ordinary tidiness--to cut the grass and keep weeds from developing into a miniature forest. Even that takes considerable time. I realized that yesterday as I raked and mowed the lawn for the first time this year. Ow new puppy helped me with the job, He is getting to be quite a dog and losing a lot of his timidity. There I go again--calling it "He". I am afraid I shall never remember to call it "She". However, whether [ call it he, she or it, still the same little dog. Oh, and by the way we are going to call it "Tip" or "Tippy". Not Lassie, be- cause Partner thinks Lassie is a hard name to call. So Tip it will be---on account of the little white tip he has on the end of his tail---and it is a name applicable to cither sex--so that lets me out on that score. * *» * ~The chickens are having a great time. They" have the run of the farm for the first time today. They have been limited to an outside scratch-pen until now. But am I going to have a problem from now on to see that Tippy treats the chickens with respect. Last night we were feeding the hens, Tippy and I, and all at once she started growling and barking ("she" that time.) 1 looked around to see what all the fuss was about and there was a neighbour dog in the yard--a big, full grown collie. He stopped . . . Tippy stood rigid, still growling, Presently the big dog turned tail and fled. It was too funny for words. If you could only have seen the difference in the -size- of the two dogs.

He just told me that he ran into Major Paul Triquet, V.C. in B.C.--quite by accident, and was talking to him for a. few minutes. Quite interesting, ch? : How To Turn Gun Sizes Into Inches Just how. big is a 75-millimeter gun, to mention' the one you read' + about the most in the war news? And those 81-mm. mortar shells, how do they stack up in inches? The whole picture of artillery sizes is rather. confusing, on ac- count of several standards being used, French, German, Italian' and some of the American guns are in "millimeters, British give the sizes of their naval guns in inches, 'and' you hear about the 14, and 16-inch big guns of the American navy. And when it comes to machine guns-and rifles, the measure is in calibres, and in the American systeni this is in 100ths of an inch, As far as turning millimeters into inches is concerried," you "can gain a rough idea of how big the guns are if you remember that the milli- meter is 1/1000th of a meter and that a nicter is 89.37 inches, Thus 100 millimeters woiild "be 8.937 inches or roughly four inches, As 75 is three-quarters of 100, a " 75-mm, gun is roughly three inches, or. 2,958 inches, The 81mm, mor- tar shell would be roughly four- fifths of four inches, 3.20 inches, or , 8.189 inches, exactly, Your. approxi- ¢ mation here is only off less than 03 inches. you will know it is Support Big, bushy or tall plants dahlias, tomatoes, peonies, inium, as well as fruit and- mental trees, will benefit from staking.

PRINTED TEXT, 2 Corinthians 4:5, 16-18; 5:1, 5-8, 14-19. GOLDEN TEXT.--Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, 'yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich, 2 Corinthians 8:9, Memory Verse: I will sing unto Jehovah, Exodus 15 : 1. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The sccond epistle of Paul to the church at Corinth was probably written about A.D. v0. Place.--The city of Corinth. was located in Greece, one of the great cities, of the ancient world of Paul's time, A Christian Ministry "For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and our- selves as your servants for Jesus sake." Paul was first the servant of Christ and lived to please Mim, and as His servant and for His sake he served his converts in Cor- inth, We must always remember we are first the servants of Christ, and His will must always come first. ) "Wherefore- faint but we. not; though our outward man is decav=-- ing, yet our inward man is renew- ed day by day." " While the body may grow weaker year by year, that is not true with one's sp'itual The gradual sickening of the body is according to the laws of nature, but the continual increase _of power in the inner life is ac- coring to the law of the Spirit of God. The Burden of Life "For .our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an cter- nal weight of glory."

It has a speed of 35 miles per hour and is equipped with a folding canvas hood. burden of life becomes too. for us. "While we look not at the things which are seen, butt at the things which are not seen: for the things which are scen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." The things seen, the pleasures of life, wealth, position, power--these are but for a time. It is the things which are unseen-- God; "love, Heaven, eternal life, truth, righteousness--they are. eter- nal. ' Pledge of Future Glory "For we khow that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dis- solved, God, a house not made with hands, the heavens." The first heavy in which we now dwell, The second clause refers to those spiritual bod- ies which our souls will inhabit at Christ's return. "Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God; who gave we have a building from. given us His spirit as a pledge (or earnest) of future glory. 'The Power of Hope "Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord (for we walk by faith, not by sight); we are of good courage, 1 say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord." The Apostle is more than willing to lcave his earthly taber- nacle because he desires to be with Christ. 1f death' came before the Coming of 1lis Lord, Paul was ready to accept death; for even though it does not bring with it the glory of the resurrection body he will be at home with Christ aniong the souls who wait for tie resurrection, True Minister of Christ ? "For the ~ovp of Christ con- straineth us , . but unto hun who for their sakes died and rose again." It should be clearly noted that the "Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more," Now, since secing Christ face to face, Paul was freed from his knowledge whe glorified Saviour, flesh risen, "Wherefore , No alter the the of Christ knew Him as The Spirit of God Christ, h old hold, things they are hecome e 1s are ioany man is in a new creature: the pussed away; bhg- new.
