thomas associate editor our editorial comment fall fairs these are the days of prize pumpkins petted petunias proud pastries and the myriad items that are on display at this time every year in the smaller communities of on tario these of course are the days of fall fairs some of the larger centres prefer to call them exhibitions there is an upstage quality in the term as if the rusticity of fair was something to be deplored and eliminated if poss ible but some of us can still get more real enjoyment out of a day at the community fair than in a week of traipsing around the brassy carnivals that modern exhibitions have become there are exhibitions the world over brussels has a big one going this year but fall fairs are some thing peculiar to this continent long may they flourish as such canadas importance in wheat shrinking canada has been extolled so often and so long as a wheatproduc ing nation that many of us may think our country is the worlds lead ing producer the truth is canada is rfar from that production of wheat in russia and eastern europe is hard to gauge accurately it is believed in any event sufficient to fill those countries own needs in the threeyear period 195557 asia produced 1872000000 bushels of wheat western europe 1260000- 000 bushels the united states 1094- 000000 bushels and canada 488000- 000 bushels an article in the canadian trade department publication for eign trade says that during the above three years canada the us aus tralia and new zealand produced less wheat than during the previous three years western europe asia south america mexico and africa all in creased their wheat production sub stantially wheat is important to canadas economy but canadas wheat is of little importance to the world econ omy it could be withdrawn and hardly missed it would be well to remember that earthworms earthworms are fine for fishing but they perform a greater service to mankind the countless holes they dig through the soil their transport of earth from one level to another their cementing together of soil particles all act to produce a well aerated well drained soil for the farmer and forester it has been estimated that the earthworms in an acre of good ground can bring to the surface as much as 20 tons of buried soil a year this means that they play an important roll in the vital mixing of organic material near the surface with under lying soil particles in the maintenance of productive soils good soil structure or the clumping of soil particles into minute units is important to the farmer since this is vital to good aeration drainage and root growth shorter and stiffer penal term proposed the average young man brought to court on charges of burglary or car theft is not mean or vicious however authorities have found two characteristics which are com mon among these offenders they are lazy and have a low iq rather than send so many of these youths to reformatories for a year or more there is a growing be lief that some shorter but stiffer type of regimen would prove useful one suggestion is that those whose health permits should receive a period of military type training it would be a short sharp shock treatment likely to be remembered for a long time by the lazy shuffling youth who has never done a good days work or been put to rigorous tests the system if it worked could also save the taxpayer a lot of money at present it costs 1750 to keep a man in prison for a year the short shock treatment would be more econ omical and it might also be applied in smaller doses to men placed on probation so that they might have a taste of what would face them if they broke the terms of the probation the proposed plan is favored by at least one ontario magistrate who sees the reformatory dormitories and regimen as soft treatment even when compared to some phases of life in the armed forces in our mail box wroxeter ont sept 17 1958 editor the tribune dear sir i much appreciated that one- inch picture on your editorial page the other day paying your respects to one of our top farm products thus no food is complete allpurpose food but milk comes closer to being so lhan does any other food be cause milk contains more nu trients needed for good nutri tion than does any other single food we are hearing a lot these days about a tendency for our great and good neighbor to the south to take canada and its 17 million people for granted as to this i havent the facts on which to build an opinion but i do think there is plenty to be said on both sides of such question at the moment i feel like baying that there is a somewhat similar problem closer to the horn front namely that there is a widespread tendency to take the canadian farmer and his vital services to the 14000- 000 canadians in town and city or granted at any rate im pretty sure that the financial writer who recently concluded that the fact is that agri cultural income is no longer a major determinant in canadas prosperity has never missed a meal in his life or if he did it was one of the inescapable hazards of his young life in this material paradise and it didnt take him long to deter mine to make tracks for his mothers kitchen and inquire whats cooking mom i much prefer prime minister dicicnbakcrs forthright words my pledge to farmers in all parts of canada is to assure thit the farmer shall receive his fair share of the national in come my desire is to correct the social inequity and the in ferior economic position into which agriculture has been al lowed to fall tiie progressive

with care hang on for dear life to your nurse a tower of strength found there and when the four long days are past you say with sheepish grin i think the flu has gone at last good riddance now to him

grants will have to be met by the tax payer cmrii 1 alter all ftsjel the passing of a saint about a year ago i spent some days in new york and called to see my friends at harper and brothers book publish ers the vicepresident john b chambers was present and apparently in good health he was a fine man only 45 years of age with a gentle disposition unmarried and living with his widowed mother by arrangement i called again the following day and was amazed to find he had died of a heart attack he had been stricken while on the way home the previous evening and the entire staff was deeply moved the publishers sent me a copy of the funeral service and with the consent of harper brothers i print it here the speaker was rev dr harold thurman and here it is i am sure that we meet a larger self at death because sometimes by accident and sometimes in moments of spiritual exaltation we occasionally break through to it even now i believe it is possible in this life to enter into it much more often and much more vividly than we suspect this is i think what christ taught his kingdom of heaven that life more abundant was an experience of the present an intensification of this existence not something of the faraway uncertain future our lack of understanding has pushed this bright and beautiful possibility further from us until at last we have thrust it over the rim of death there to await us in the next world while all the time did we but guess it it is here at our very elbows for the most part we go at half pressure through a play world but sometimes some poignant love joy beauty or suffering lifts up the everlasting gates of our blindness and the king of glory comes in he will never come in a timid artificial selfish and easeloving existence it is when ease and safety are torn away and we are stripped to the very bare bones stripped to the very soul that the soul emerges triumphant better still it is when we voluntarily strip ourselves of the little selfish timidities for a great cause that this mysterious king of glory comes in most radiantly the saints and mystics knew this they were not in pursuit of a pale negation they were furiously and gloriously cruci fying the smaller self that the larger might be set free they knew that they would never find what they were seeking in a hideous exotic pursuit of happiness and comfort or in fright ened attempts to escape suffering it is to be found in love that splendid and reckless outpouring of self for someone or something other than ourselves in beauty when the awakening brings with it a certain wildness and intoxication a madness of joy before which all the small hothouse artificialities are swept away in truth that deep simplicity which thrusts one down into the still fastnesses of the spirit where god is to be met and finally it is found in that courage which knows it is infinitely better to die at full breath of vivid unselfishness rather than live on in a dreary ease and safety more and more frequently individuals are breaking down the hard barriers and driving through to that increased vitality which is the hidden possibility of us all and which already many of us have experienced in fleeting moments with this larger life there must come an evergrowing realiza tion of worlds beyond our present one worlds which are ours to inherit some day as the blue sky is the heritage of the unsuspecting caterpillar with this fuller realization it is possible that the worldold enemy of mankind the fear of death is to be vanquished the time may not be far off when to lose a friend by death will be hardly more than to have him cross the ocean when our own passing will be merely the happy setting sail for a new country it mxy be that at last death itself is dying our quotation today is the wellknown saying of jesus he giveth his beloticd sleep for parents only introduction to numbers by nancy cleaver sunday school lesson save the pages torn off a calendar to introduce junior to numbers granny advised her daughterinlaw you can mount them on cardboard the size of playing cards and soon have enough to play a game like snap or oldfashioned authors the young mother an swered what a good idea a little child can get real pride from learning his num bers from these calendar fig ures he can play by himself sorting similar ones into piles perhaps junior will be bet ter at arithmetic than his mo ther laughed the younger woman thanks for this prac tical suggestion there are other ways a child can be started in number learn ing the old fashioned counting rhymes cast their spell over many children perhaps you can remember saying over in a kind of chant as a small child some version of one two buckle my shoe three four knock on the door five six pick up sticks seven eight lay them straight nine ten a good fat hen or perhaps the one little two litie three little indians counting song was a favourite with you some modern educa tionalists pour scorn on nurs ery rhymes but they haye sur vived for a good many years a child has fun while he and mo ther repeat or sing them to gether and he does learn the name of the lower digits the new emphasis in learning is to relate it to life situations thus a mother who wants her childs first introduction to ar ithmetic to be a pleasant one at school prepares him for it by certain simple counting ex periences at home three and four year olds love to help mo ther put away the groceries as mother sorts the canned goods he can say out loud one can of corn one two cans of tomatoes one two three cans of soup the child who is al most ready for school may want to count the oranges to see if there are a dozen before a child starts to school he should know his name ad dress and if possible his home phone number for fear he might be lost and too upset to speak plainly parenls often write this out on a slip they insist that he keep this in his justice and judg5ient golden text for the lord knoweth the way of the right eous but the way of the un godly shall perish psa 16 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson throughout this quarter our lessons have dealt with some aspect of judgment the con stant summons has been to fair ness and benevolence whether in family community national or international relationships as the culmination of the series we are now pointedly reminded that justice is not merely an op tional pleasant goal it is im perative just conduct merits rewards injustice spells doom god commands his people to be benevolent he will brook no disobedience formal religious exercises are no substitute for genuine concern for the needy it is vain for hypocrites to call piously upon the lord injustice is a barrier between man and god if persisted in and unfor- given it leads to eternal disas ter the judgment scene matt 253146 is not to be confused with the judgment of rewards for believers when they meet the lord in the air 1 thess 4 16 17 2 cor 510 rev 2212 nor with the judgment of un believers at the great white throne rev 201115 at which all will be consigned to the second death this judgment is that of the nations note that when the lord jesus returns for the battle of armageddon he will judge and make war rev 1511 he will over throw the concentrat ed international hosts arrayed against him and then institute the judgment here depicted for further detail study joel 3116 matthew stresses the certainty criterion and finality of judgment verse by verse matt 2531 when the son of man shall come in his glory then shall he sit upon the throne the when and then pinpoint- this appearing of our lord it is his glorious return as king of kings when accompanied by saints and ang els he will come to judge and make war rev 1911 verse 32 before him shall be gathered all nations he shall separate them sheep from the goats ethne na tions probably refers to gen tiles note contrast between these and the jewish people in luke 232 the returning king will act as judge and divider of the gentiles verse 33 he shall set the sheep on his right hand and the goats on the left right and left symbolize acceptance and rejection the right hand is the place of honor and prefer ment verse 34 then shall the king say come ye blessed inherit the kingdom prepared for you the blessed ones belong to the father they inherit as family members not as workers who earn ent rance into the kingdom from eternity god has his change less plan for his own 1 peter 14 verse 35 i was an hungered and ye gave me meat thirsty a stranger and ye took me in to take in is to show hospitality to in this verse and the next six of the seven oft- quoted works of mercy are listed the seventh is care of the fatherless verse 36 naked and ye clothed me sick and ye visited in prison and ye came to visit is to over- pocket when he is on a trip to a shopping district or attending a special treat like a fair or a circus junior will be interested in learning to write out his ad dress in block printing and to trace these special numbers he has memorized in a home where the clock strikes the hour many young sters like to count the number of strikes because roman nu merals are used on many clocks these are a bit puzzling it is easier for a child- to learn the time on a clock with ordinary numbers if there is an old clock around the house which does not run any more use it in teaching a child about the hour and the minute hands let him turn the hands and make the clock say dinner time twelve oclock or bed time seven oclock a little toy clock face can be made with card board with an hour and a min ute hand fastened to the centre so they will revolve when a child is old enough to run on errands to the gro cery store counting money and change is another interesting number experience parents should taketirrie to explain the value of nickels and dimes and quarters in terms of coppers it is easy to invent simple problems and make a game out of them as here is a foot ruler and here is a yard stick how many rulers would makefione yard stick mother has a quarter and a dime how many nickels could she change them for or this is wednesday count on the calendar how many days are left in this week the child who has had oppor tunities to try to figure out the answers to simple problems is taking his first steps in an im portant part of mathematics mother finds that ft takes a little longer but it is worthwhile to give junior these simple ex ercises in measuring space in inches feet and yards or time or money instead of cutting up a large apple for junior and his three chums ask him how would you give eaci boy a fair share use the term half and a quarter related to material he can see and then fractions will not be such a mystery when he gets to them at school copyrighted see to attend to the needs of a person clothing care and consolation these were provid ed by the sheep on the right hand verse 37 then shall the righteous answer lord when saw we thee an hungered or thirsty the exalted saviour and judge identifies himself with the needy of his people acts 94 5 care for those in distress should be unto the lord jesus said that a cup of water could be given in his name mark 941 verse 38 when saw we thee a stranger or naked and clothed thee men often fail to appreciate the fac that hu- manitarianism may up a sacred as well as an unselfish privi lege verse 39 or when saw we thee sick or in prison the list of merciful activities is repeated four times in this passage the repetition is im pressive as though the judges gavel were beaten in solemn steady cadence verse 40 the king shall answer inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren unto me the asv reads these my brethren even these least some reason on the basis of hebrews 211 that breth ren signifies the human race and that the justice commended is general benevolence prob ably the reference is to the jews our lords national bre thren verse 41 then shall he say depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire for the devil this is a sober ing text the doom of the wick ed involves separation from the lord verse 42 i was an hungered ye gave me no meat i was thirsty where one spends eternity depends exclusively upon his relationship to christ of course concern for the lords brethren stems from faith in the lord himself verse 43 i was a stranger and ye took me not in naked sick and in prison and ye visited me not the sin of omission is here condemned ne gative failure to show justice to the needy is regarded as posi tive injustice verse 44 then shall they thee an hungered or in prison and did not minister unto thee unconcern for the distressed is a dereliction both of duty and of glorifying the continued on page 5 a new technique is unique in that each braid is connected separately rather than being just one long succession of braids with the color changing at each- end the day of the horse we recently read a nostalgic hotweather piece about the day of the horse the writer lamented the passing of that day and remarked that modern youngsters could not be expect ed to appreciate what they never knew the writer told of the fast ambulance horses the streetcar horses that started and stopped on bell signals the horses on bread and milk routes that went the whole way without any guidance stopping before each customers house and making all the right turns until the sta ble was reached once more there are still- a few of these about of course but there are not enough horses to slow things down even in the rapidlychanging world of the twenties there were plenty of liorses on the streets and in retrospect at least everything moved at a more leisurely pace there was not so much talk of coronarles and high blood pressure then but perhaps that is just coinci dence but things were cer tainly slow enough for children to have r lot of fun on the streets because even a brisklv- trotting team drawing an invit ing cart or sleigh could be caught by hard running but now there are different joys faster machinelike im personal and more lethal joys they characterize the age and thev foster a different type of individual most of us know little else and only remember that other day in a fragmen tary way nothing can bring it back except the kind of ca tastrophe depicted in that scene from the h g wells film in which a rolls royce was shown making its way amid the ruins seemingly under its own power until a shift of the camera shows it without tires and be ing drawn by a horse king ston whigstandard vinegar cleans steel if
