British art dealers did not take their annual holiday this year because they were too busy. Their export business has gone up by half since last year. Eighty per cent. of the precious books, rare bindings and old silver sold at London auctions is now bought by America. At the June sale of the library of the great surgeon Sir D'Arcy Power, which fetched £2,414, no less than £1,- a | UST ARRIVED! ahigeenr Phone 460 11.70 .. 27.85 NEW Better Light Better Sight -- LAMPS Latest designs and shades Cash Price Complete with all necessary bulbs. made Use Oar Layaway Plan You may make small weekly payments and reserve any lamp for delivery when the required down payment, according to Government credit terms, is Can Be Purchased on Charge or Budget Plans. a Oe HYDRO SHOP Stratford | 388 was spent by a single American buyer. The celebrated Bayley's "Treatise on the Eye' went to the States at £145. In silver, Americans are out for large Georgian sets of soup and meat plates. They prefer a somewhat florid Georgian style; Elizabethan and Cromwellian silver does not attract so many of them, The main reason for the present migration of old English silver to the States is the high income tax and death duties which are bringing it into the market from England's his- toric country homes. SWASTIKA SHIPS Take English Roses to Iceland England's national flower, the rose, will bloom in_ treeless Iceland on bushes exported there by British nurserymen. They have been carried in ships of the Iceland Steamship Company, whose houseflag bears the original swastika--not the _ twisted form used by the Nazis, which, say heralds, has a tradition of evil cen- turies old. have also gone to Iceland from Bri- tain, as well as clothing, boots and shoes, chemicals, cigars, wireless sets, toothpaste, fishing gear, musical in- struments, hair pins, gin, soap, bricks, motor cars, floor polish and _ food- stuffs, including thousands of tins of baking powder. Christmas puddings were sent last year, but they did not arrive until January. Iceland imports nearly all general commodities, having little manufac- turing resources of her own. Before the war, Britain supplied only about 20 per cent. of these imports but now Iceland is cut off from Europe, nearly all her requirements come from Bri- tain. American troops stationed in Ice- land will have no excuse for not writ- ing home, for recent cargoes include large consignments of notepaper, pens, ink and lead pencils from Britain. And they will have to be careful what they write, for blue pencils have also been sent for the censors. COCONUT SHELLS Will Drive New Malayan Locomotive British locomotive engineers have built a locomotive and tender for the Ulu Remis Estate, Malay Peninsula; which will be fuelled with palm fibre and coconut shells instead of coal. It has a chimney specially designed to keep sparks from flying out and set- ting light to the plantations through which the engine will run. There 1s also an elaborate boiler feeding ar- rangement made necessary because of |water conditions on the estate. In working order the engine weighs 15 tons and the tender 7% tons, the latter carrying 500 gallons of water and 120 cu. ft. of fuel. The gauge 18 700 mm. (2 ft. 3% in.) and the boiler has a working pressure of 160 Ib. per sq. in.

HARPER Repentance and Faith. Lesson tor November 9: Luke 15: 11-24 Golden Text: Mark 1: 15. We consider today the familiar story of the Prodigal Son, which presents an example of true repent- ance and faith, and illustrates the readiness of God to forgive the pen- itent. The primary meaning of repent- ance 1s to turn away from sin. The consequences of sin will bring sor- tow to the sinner, but let him not forget that his sin brings sorrow to God. And let him be grieved, first of all, that he has transgressed against God. When the prodiga! tost his in- heritance in the 'far country and was reduced to such want that he envied the swine their husks, he re- solved to return unto his father's house, not asking that his inheri- tance be restored but that he be given the place of a hired servant. And he confessed that he had sinned in his father's sight and against heaven. @ We have thought uttle about the other son, who. cold, hard and un- sympathetic, would not go in to the feast but sulked without. (Read re-. mainder of chapter.) When he com- | plained to: his father, he spoke of | his own brother as "this thy son." } Many who address God as Father. do not speak of other men as their brothers. Let them consider the readiness of God to forgive. The world would be a better place if many who claim to be righteous were more inclined to forgive the wayward. It is easy to recognize evil conditions but hard to do any- thing about them: easy to condemn sinners but often hard to love them | 'and help them. eral hours.
