HAAS LNTRE CN ERE PAN i IR ARAN Rw ad Mow! : » aa WE PME MIR AG ve he So By Rev. R. Barclay Warren B.A, BD.' - The Warning and Invitation of Jesus. Matthew 11:20-30 Memory Selection: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me. Matthew 11: 28-29. God has always appealed to man through warning and tender invitation. A" preacher who ex- cludes either from his message is out of line with Scripture. The sin of Sodom is listed in our law books as sodomy. God destroyed the wicked people of that city. The people of the re- spectable city of Capernaum were therefore surprised to hear Jesus say, "And thou, Caper- naum, which art exalted unto heaveh, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, ' had been done in Sodom, it would 'have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee." Re- sponsibility and punishment for sin are partially determined by the light we have received. Bet- ter to die a heathen who has never heard the message of the Gospel than an unrepentant sin- ner from Canada where Gospel light and privileges are so abun- dant. After the words of this dire warning Jesus gives the great Invitation of the memory selec- tion. How many are laden with sin's guilt and shame! How many are bound by sinful habits of thougst, word and act! How many ares wearied with the struggles of life! To all such, Jesus says, "Come unto me." Tranquillizing pills may give a temporary calm and strong drink may bring blindness to one's misery for a little time but only Jesus Christ can give soul rest. He is the answer to our need: Let us confess our sins and seek Him -now. Multitudes have proven that His word is true, that-"My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found." - : Ploughboy--Poet Proposed to Queen Of all the success stories in history few are so amazing as that of Stephen Duck, the Wilt- shire-- ploughboy who taught himself to read, became the most fashionable poet of his day, en- tered the Church and was ap- pointed chaplain to the King. In the year 1722, Stephen Duck was living in the Wiltshire village of Charlton Saint Peter. Though still in his teens, he had married and -was raising a family -- on four and sixpence a week: Beer cost about a ha'penny a pint, and an ounce of cheap tobacco cost less than one of our own cigarettes. Anyway, Duck, a ploughboy, taught himself to read the whole of Milton's "Paradise Lost." After a while, he tried his hand at poetry of his own and found that he had a genuine talent. The local vicar helped him and the manuscript of one of his poems was read to George Il's Queen at Windsor Castle. The Queen' was so impressed by Duck's talent that she sent for him and persuaded him to give- up ploughing to study. Duck soon afterwards received a royal message appointing him librarjan at the palace. He duly left his farm work and took up residence at Windsor Castle. Other successes followed -- all beyond his wildest dreams. The former ploughboy was made a Yoeman of the Guard and was appointed keeper of Duck Island in St. Jame's Park. Duck wrote more poems and was duly proclaimed a great genius, The Queen was anxi- ous to promote him even higher and he was persuaded to study for the Church. This he did and in 1751 he became a .royal preacher. It seemed that no post was too high for him. He was men- tioned as a possible Poet Lau- reate and even as Archbishop of Canterbury. Duck, however, had acted his part too long. He never felt at ease among his new friends and became morbid- ly sensitive about his birth. No one noticed this until he took to standing on his head in the palace gardens. Even that was accepted as the eccentricity of a genius. One morning, how- ever, the rumour got around that the royal chaplain: had rushed into the Queen's room to pro- pose marriage. Duck, in short, was paying the price of -living in a dream. N His mind had given way un- der the strain. Even so, no one understood quite how deranged he had become until, on March 21st, 1756, 200 yeafs ago last year, at thes; age of fifty-one, the - ploughboy - preacher ran away from the palace, the vic- tim of religious mania. After wandering about the country- side he reached Reading where he drowned himself in a stream behind a tavern. Duck's poems never were great. But his memory lives on through the gesture of Lord Palmerston, who admired his tenacity in teaching himself to read and write. In order to perpetuate Duck's memory, Lord Palmerston gave a sum of money for a feast to be held in Duck's honour every June 1st at the village inn of his birthplace. Twelve local farm-workers sit down to a supper of cold meat and ale. The ale is drunk at one gulp from tankards holding five-eighths of a pint. The Chief Duck (as he is called) reads the toast as follows: "In remem- brance of Lord Palmerston and the Reverend Stephen Duck with all my heart."

If he's an Emperor Penguin he might wobble up to where you are sitting and look at you, eye to eye. And if he should step on your foot you might think ®t was Ben, your big boxer, Even smaller penguins -- like the Kings and the Adé- lies -- aren't exactly ducklings. . Imagine having to seize a four- 'acre beachhead from 150,000 of such outsize, wingless aquatic birds. That's what the Navy has" had to do for its Antartica ex- pedition in order to build a base at Cape Hallett. The penguins: . had just hatched their young (which didn't make them hos- pitable), and the Seabees had to fence off the few feet of ground won. "The penguin is the natural comedian of the whole feath- ered tribe. (This may be be- cause he reminds human on- lookers of themselves.) The solemn birds march in files like soldiers -- or rather like wait- ers clad in dinner jackets. They use their vestigial wings (on land) like handless arms. And they seem to talk to each other, It is said that women find in viewing motion pictures ~ of home life among the penguins an amusement not vouchsafed to men. When building the nest of pebbles Mrs. Penguin toils diligently and purposefully; Mr. Penguin busies himself with getting in the way -- then proudly contributes the last pebble. What's so funny about that? i BEHIND BARS -- The confessed "Mad Bomber" -- George Metesky -- stares through the bars at Manhattan police head- quarters. Colour Blintiness Traffic Danger 'Are you colour-blind? Are you one of those people who only see red when it is green and think a glass of mild-and- bitter is blue? If so, you are only one of many millions who suffer from the optical illusion. Unlike many physical infir- mities, being colour-blind is a secret you can keep to yourself, if you are clever. Unless you happen to be a train driver or a motorist -- or try for flying duties in the Air Force.' . Recently the driver of the royal train, one of Britain's most skilful footplate men, was sus= pended from duty because he failed to pass a colour signal test. . The Royal Family could easily have been in jeopardy because of his colour-blindness. He fail- ed his colour test the day after driving the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh:in the royal train. If you are a motorist, the law regards you as menace if you mistake the red robot signal for green, It is said that in Britain alone there are more than 150,~ 000 experienced motorists who, inwardly fuming have to forgo the pleasures of driving a car because they cannot distinguish a red "stop" signal from the green "go" * It has been left to a twelve- year-old America schoolby to devise a plan which may, result in every robot. traffic signal «in the world being changed. This youngster had a brainwave which startled the traffic ex- perts and New York's police. "He invented a traffic signal which is equally effective _for colour-blind and ordinary mo- torists, It works like this: The - red "stop"-signal has a distin- guishing whité bar across it. A cross marks the amber signal. The green "go" signal marked by a triangle. Nothing could Be more simple. Yet in cities all over the world there are motorists who have to watch other cars in- stead of the signals because they are colour-blind. 230 Volt service. i * LJ i BRUSHING OFF THE WORLD -- The young lady at left is cleaning up the Middle East, a problem which has bedeviled many a good man lately. She and her partner make it seem easy and so it Is because-the "world" and its moon are only interesting exhibits at a Frankfurt, Germany, show called "Space Unlimit- ed." m - Modern equipment for aiding in many farm chores or in the home requires either small elec- tric motors or small gas engines. Where electric current is avail- able the small fractional horse- power . motor seems to be the logical choice. N The kind of available electric service may be a two-wire 115 Volt or a two- or three-wire 230 Volt having an alternating cur- rent of 60 cycles or 25 cycles, or it may be from a small domestic engine driven electric generating plant supplying 32 Volts of di- rect current. The motors used, therefore, must suit the kind of electric current and wiring which is to be used. The A.C. motors are the type most gen- erally used and most widely sold. The popular kinds of A.C. motors are as follows: - Te LJ L Split Phase Motors--These are "usually the least expensive to purchase. They inclu€e the sin- gle phase type that operates on two wires and are obtainable. in sizes ranging from 1/20 H.P. to 1/3 H.P. They are suitable for light duty such as may be re- quired for a small seed cleaning machine or a washing machine. They can start a machine that requires about twice their nor- mal running power for a short' duration. An automatic switch mechanism disconnects the pow- cer from its starter windings as soon as the motor reaches its normal speed. LJ LJ * Capacitor Start Motors--These motors cost a little more but are the best all round motor for general use. Their power ratings range from 15 H.P. to 1 H.P. The motor is fitted with a capacitor, which is a condenser to absorb the extra surge of electric cur- rent when starting a machine. It is thus able to start a load that requires three times its nor- mal horsepower rating for a short period. Such motors are suitable for operating larger seed cleaning machines, water pumps and similar loads which require a little extra power to start them, or where the demand for power may fluctuate with a varying load of the driven ma- "chine or equipment. Motors of this type larger than % IH.P. should .operate on a three-wire LJ Repulsion-Induction Start Mo- tors--These are used where con- siderable power is required to start a load or where the power requirement of a: machine or equipment may fluctuate tem- porarily. ~Repulsion - Induction motors have a starting torque of about four times their normal running power, These motors wil continue to operate with reduced voltage. They are suit- able for large seed cleaning and grading plants, feed grinders, large pumps, air compressors, ete. The Small Gas Engine--Where electric service cannot be used, the small air-cooled gasoline en- gine may be the best source of power, As a rule the horse- power rating of such sm engine FARM FRONT should be about 50% greater than the power of an electric motor which might otherwise be used. LJ * * Two cycle air-cooled engines are now more reliable than they wore a few years ago. Generally their normal operating speed is much higher than that of the conventional four cycle engine. Their light weight and speed makes them suitable for port- able machines such as the rotary knifa type of lawn mower, power chain saws, marine engines, etc. Special lubricating oils must be used and mixed precisely in the proportions recommended by the manufacturers to obtain maxl- mum efficiency and minimum of wear to the vital parts. * ° The four cycle engine is prob- ably still the most satisfactory for general use around the farm. Speeds may be regulated by means of a throttle lever or one of several types of automatle speed governors. Some cngines . also may be fitted with geared speed reduction units at .ratios as-low as 6 to 1 which make them easily adaptable for equip- ment which must be operated at low speeds. PARE . LJ LJ * Gasoline containing ethyl tetra lead such as that used in auto- mobiles should not be used. Or- dinary or regular gasoline which does not contain ethyl tetra lead, when used with a heavy duty type of lubricating ofl for the crank case, will result in less deposits in the combustion chamber and less fouling of the spark plugs and valve stems. Greater efficiency and longer trouble-free operation can be expected. . . . Changes in Poultry Farming in Canada are. bringing a reduc- tion in the number of small farm flocks and the appearance of large commerical flocks. This is accompanied by decreasing pro- rgins making the poultry- man ever more conscious of pro- duction "costs. These changes have brought about a reappraisal by egg producers of breeds and crosses.' Ra L . . The heavy, dual-purpose breeds and crosses which have been' popular among poultrymen .for many years now appear to be "J losing- favor to light breeds and crosses. There are two reasons for this: (1) The price of fowl has been low in recent years, | thus reducing the meat value of the carcass; (2) Light birds re- "quire less feed for maintenance and hence, when compared on the basis of equal egg produc- tion, produce eggs more econ- omically than heavy birds. A four pound bird producing 200 eggs per year consumes about 78 pounds of feed, while a six pound bird laying at the same rate consumes about 98 pounds of feed. On this basis the light bird produces one dozen eggs on 47 pounds of feed, while the heavy bird réquires 5.9 pounds of feed for one dozen eggs. This represents a saving of about one dollar per bird per year for the light birds. . . LJ LJ Since many heavy breeds are 'popular and have good growth, liveability, and production rec- ords, there is a natural relugs tance on the part of producers to switch to other breeds. But low fowl prices have decreased the - income from this source, em- phasizing the necessity for eco- nomical egg production. Present trends indicate that profit from ~ the laying. flock must come largely from egg production and poultrymen are looking to the light breeds and crosses with their lower maintenance re- quirements for more economical egg production.
