publish a newpaper on sunday that is a desirable tact the object being to preserve the sabbath but why is it permissible for broadcasting stat ions particularly a nationally owned concern to engage in advertising soap sardines tobaccos tomatoes cosmetic also cigarettes bererages and other commodities the orangeville banner rightly comments that there seems to be something wrong about this no doubt the radio owners will contend that the advertising is needed to defray the cost of providing sunday programs if this could bedistibuted over six days of the week then the sunday program could be kept free and would be relished by the radio publjc it would also improve the quality of the sun day programs its bad enough on week days when you would listen to jim hunter or walter bowles to have to stomach a lot of tiresome comment made in the most extravagant langu age possible about various commodities certainly there is much wrong with this sunday ad vertising that we think ought to be cleaned up at once after all the sabbath was made for man and not for sun- day advertisers of commercialproducts 3 school loud speaker system as aresult of studies and discoveries developed in the radio field during the war many useful applications will be come commonplace later on one great need that we feel should be planned for now is the provision of a modern loud speaker system in school buildings in the old days there were many reasons beside ex- pense for the impracticability of such a device most of the objectionable features are now overcome and since the sys- tem may be controlled almost as easily as a telephone we believe early consideration should be given to such instal- lations v the important close contact arid so often desirable simultaneous contact by principal- with teachers will then be possible it will be a special boon to stouffville because we lack assembly room accommodations for the principal could then carry out daily assembly programmes with the pupils in their place in each room after all thepriricipal teachers and pupils may be paralled with skipper officers rebuilding europe big job ahead the financial post gives- wellconsidered answer to those people who fear that there will be a serious slump afterthe war or within a- couple of years at any rate the post points but that half of europe is in ruins against a small stripoffranceand perhaps belgium following the last warbritiantoohashuridreds of thousands of homes to build and these countries will look to canada to furnish a great deal ofvmaterials for the building the post says war correspondents who contrast the pulverizing bf such places as caen and casino with front line destruction m the first great war have either forgotten or never knew of the complete obliteration of ypres vimy and bapaume actual pictures of many captured towns in the newspapers today show buildings battered but standing in the first war villages towns and cities along the old trench line completely disappeared in scores of cases not a single brick was left whole destruction within range of the guns which remained in almost the same position for three years was absolute but the point to bear in mind this time and one that has been overlooked in the majority of todays dispatches is the fact that on the great western front in the last war practically all the fighting took place in a belt hardly more than 50 miles across at its widest point the decisive battles in 1918 and the bloodiest engagements of the first year of the war were fought within the same limited area of north ern france in contrast the less concentrated destruction in this war has ranged over almost all europe in less than two months 800000 houses have been damaged by robot bombs alone in southern england and before this latest fantastic attack there was terrific damage from bomber fleets in every manufacturing city traffic centre and port through out almost the whole of the united kingdom and the same sort of thing has been going on in germany holland bel gium france russia italy the baltic states and central europe outside the rural areas hardly a house will have es- caped damage throughout the whole of europe before this war is over while the destruction of railway bridges fac- tories and ports will have been stupendous in considerable areas of italy even wfiere the line advanced steadily all transport facilities down to the smallest culvert have been blown up to restore transport in western europe and russia and to make cities barely livable will take staggering a- mounts of steel copper lumber cement and labor german and russian authorities estimate that at least 10 years will be required and perhapsmuch more it took france almost half that long to restore the mines towns railways and farms in the narrow belt of destruction in the last war those people who talk- glibly of mass unemployment and glutted markets after this war have not the slightest conception of the tremendous- rebuilding task which awaits the world- more than half of europe and especially the most populous parts of that great continent will have to be reconstructed canada and the united states with their industrial productive capacity unimpaired must play a major role in that gigantic undertaking ils m k- at v- sunday school lesson lesson for august 20 golden text he that

addressed them withdivhv ely given authority verse 20 all israel knew that samuel was established to be a prophet of the lord in tlie days of the- earlier judges their influ ence was often narrowed and cir cumscribed by tribal conditions and jealousies but in the case of samuel the entire nation recogniz ed him as the man of gods ap pointment who was raised up to guide them aright verse 21 the lord revealed himself to samuel in shiloh it was at shiloh that the 4 tabernacle had been pitched when the land was subdued before israel there samuel was dedicated to the ser vice of the lord and brought up under the nurturing care of some unnamed godly woman probably elis wife his own mother visiting him yearlyand providing his cloth ing chap 219there he remain ed aftef elis death until he

dwelling amongthem godf permitted the philistines to harass israel and to threaten them with a great slaughter in their distress they turned to samuel to intercede for them he exhorted them to judge their evil ways and to manifest their repentance by destroying their idols he assured them that if they truly turned to the lord with all their hearts they could count on his pardoning grace and- his protection in the horn- of danger verse 4 the children of israel did put away baalim and ashtar- oth and served the lordonly in response to samuels words the people turned from the worship of the

water before the lord was the expres sion bf acknowledged weakness 2 sam 1414 by fasting they ex pressed their sorrow for the wick edness which they confessed with their mouths owning that they had sinned against the lord thus they took the place where god could act on their behalf verse 7- the lords of the phi listines- went up against israel when news of this great prayer meeting at mizpeh reached the ears of the philistines they evid ently took it as an evidence of the frantic state of israel and prepared at once to attack them in spite of samuels prayer and their own brokenness before god the israe lites were filled with fear as they contemplated the coming- conflict verse 8 cease not to cry unto the lord our god for us that he will save us they then besought samuel not to cease supplicating divine aid in their time of crisis realizing their own- powerless- riess they felt the need of gods intervention if they were to be de livered from their cruel and ruth less enemies f verse 9r samuel took a stock ing lamb and offered it for a burnt- offering wholly unto the lord of all animals this was one of the most helpless and dependent it well pictured- israels own state it also typified the one who was yet tobe manifested as israels savi our who as a lamb dumb before its shearers was to submit patient ly both to mans malignant treat ment and to tlie judgment of god as he took the place of the guilty with the lamb on thealtar sam uel cried unto the lord for israel and the lord heard him as he al ways hears those who come to him in acknowledged repentance and in faith put in their plea verse 10 as samuel was offer ing up the burntoffering the lord thundered and discomfited them while the smoke of the sacrifice speaking of the work to be accomplished on tlie cross ascended to heaven the lord who hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm nahum 1 3 thundered from heaven and- let loose the artillery of the skies up on the philistines utterly discom fiting them and causing them to flee before the army of israel ad vanced to the attack verse 11 the men of israel went out of mizpeh and pursued the philistines emboldened by the manifest activity of god on their behalf the formerly fearful israelites poured out of the city and chased- their fleeing foes so that they were completely routed verse 12 ebenezer hither to hath the lord helped us a

greater honor upon one whom he has taken into relationship with him self than to call and commission him to be his spokesman to other men but with this privilege go great responsibilities the life should correspond- with the mes sage- in samuel we see consistency of behavior a walk before god whichgave israel to know he was jehovahs whom they could turn for helpful counsel and for spiritual
