insurance books many workers are careless about the keeping of their unemployment insurance books says mr edmunds an official of the government department nobody with a bank account says mr edmunds is careless of his pass book and this is much the same trouble is it is not quite so simple to draw on that unemployment book there are twists and turns and too many employees are made to carry that book who will never benefit because they have steady employment all the time not high wages mind you but steady employment there are other groups with fantastic wages but only for a few mont of- the

of last weeks big raids vv v v a s- rcaf swapwm 1nbg tyfrap on ruhr avp rhmeiaad we always have a crop it is an old tradition to say that there is never a crop failure in the district surrounding stouffville somehow the locality manages to escape the extremes of drought arid storm and so no one ever is able to say that the farmers are cleaned out of everything aside from the favorable weather we always enjoy there is another ele ment that helps to evade any failurehere it is the adopted custom of mixed farming sometimes the hay crop is light sometimes the grain crop or perhaps the root acreage tout never have all of them failed in the one year just now some sections of ontario are mighty forlorn looking because the farmers couldnt get in their crops last spring owning to incessant rain stouffville district managed to get dry spells that enabled the farmers to crop their lands and some of the finest grain fields you wish to set eyes on are to be seen all around us roots too are most promising indeed there is danger of cabbage cauli flower and potatoes growing too large we are living in the midst of a wonderful garden country look north south east and west and the same luxuriant crops may be seen however as great riches bring great responsibilities heavy crops bring hard work toil and sweat the grain crop in many fields is a back- breaker where it is snarled lodged and twisted with the recent storms but we are thankful for it sane analysis on second front the boston monitor remembering that the urging of a second front in western europe goes back to the summer of 1941 it is easy to understand the impatience of the layman in bri tain and america as he sees the nazis driving to stalin grad yet we may be sure that united nations strategy has not overlooked the importance of keeping the russian front alive we must hope that mr churchill and mr roosevelt will give the order for invasion in the west be fore the germans cansplit russia undoubtedly iherisks of landing a britishamerican force in france or norway have been carefully calculated one keyj to them is in the air literally figuratively for rhe clearest prerequite ol any invasion attempt is an umibrella of air power how far over the continent the air front can be maintained is the most vital question britain couldnt hold norway because her shortrange fighter planes based in england couldnt protect her land and sea forces there while the germans with shorthop land communications could base both bomber and fighters in norway one secret of dunkirk was that there the jraf controlled the air v- it is such control that britishamerican forcesneed for crossing the channel and opening a second front on the continueni the raf and ihe american air force of still undisclosed size now organizing at irish and english bases probably would be able to place an umbrella oyer a cross- irigand oven extend it inland for fifty to a hundred miles under present conditions but would they be able to hold it and jiast german mechanized forces moving up to a- second front should nazi air power be concentrated in the west that is the big question in washington and lon- don when the risks are calculated clearly the longer 1 britishamerican air power is built up and trie farther east the nazis are drawn the smaller are the risks in the west we trust equal attention is being given to the risks of waiting too long to realize how important it is to keep the russian front alive one only needs to try to estimate the situation with that 2000mile sapper of nazi strength immobilized that danger might come quickly military experts are agreed that japan is only waiting for the most favorable moment to give a second front we trust too that london and washington are thinking not only of risks but ofpotential advantages- from a second front it has always been berlins nightmare it would help not only the russians who undoubtedly would counterattack simultaneously if nazi air power moved west but the allies in egypt and visible evidence of- mielpriear at hand should double and redouble the strength of revolt and sabotage on the continent calculations are necessary to avoid raising falsehopes or making futile sacrifices but wars are won by imagination directory lesson for august 2 abram a pioneer in faith golden text fear not abram i am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward gen 151 no one person apart from the blessed son of god himself occu pies so striking a place in human history as abram the hebrew gen 1418 or as he was later known abraham the father- of the faithful a member of an idolatrous family when god first revealed himself to him josh 242 the young man of ur of the chaldees caught the vision of faith and gave himself up unreservedly to the worship of the one true and living god at a time when the knowledge of the lord had almost vanished from the earth in canaan there was still a priest of the most high god who was also a king the ruler of the city of sal em identical with jerusalem of a later day gen 1417 19 here and there amid the darkness of paganism a few other discerning souls might be found who knew and worshiped the eternal creator of all things but it was to abram that god revealed himself in a new way and through him and his seed the true monotheistic religion use the word in its colloquial sense was revived and spread throughout a large part of the world in the life of this man we see what great things god can do when he finds a man who is content to be subject to his will and who values his truth above all else abraham became not only the father of many great nations and specially of the nation of israel but he is even tp- day the recognized spiritual sire of untold millions who throughout the centuries since have like him dar ed to believe god all who have faith i are blessed with- faithful abraham gal 37 9 and are reckoned by god as abrahams seed gali 329 he is the pat tern man of faith the outstanding example of one who believed god verse by verse gen 121 the lord had said this was said to abram while he still dwelt inur as stephen tells us in acts 72 evidently when abram communicated the message he had received to his fattier terati determ- ined to leave- idolatrous associations and- so he took the initiative and emigrated from ur to haran in syria where the family remained until his death in this we do not see on the part of abram that full obed ience which afterward characteriz ed him verse 2 i will make of thee a great nation such indeed has been the nation of israel and its history is not yet finished it will bo greater- in the not fardistant future when restored to god and the land of palestine than ever it has been in the past i will bless thee and make thy name great this promise has been fulfilled to the letter no greater name shines on historys page than that of the man who was content to be a stran ger and a pilgrim for the sake of the god who had revealed himself to his- soul thou shalt be a bless ing through his example and the promised seed jesus christ the son of abraham matt 11 this too has been and is being fulfilled verse 3 i will bless them that bless ttieeand curse him that cure- eth thee this promise has never been abrogated there is blessing still for those who show kindness to abrahams seed and the curse of god abides upon- those who perse cute israel in thee shall all fam ilies of the earth be blessed not until christ returns and the king doms of this world become the kingdoms of our god and his christ rev 1115 will the full import of these words he realized but even now all the world is under obligation to abraham for the saviour born of his line after the flesh verse 4 lot went with him abrahams nephew lot was a fol lower but never seemed to realize his porsonal responsibility sec chapter 1127 31 like many today lot kept company with the man of faith and was actually a righteous man 2 pet 278 but there was very littlo evidence of the activity of faith seen in him verse 5 into tho land of can aan they came this was after the death of terah when abraham in response to the call of god acted on his own initiative leaving haran and going on to the land of gods choice the journey begun so long before had ended at last though for abrain there was never to be any settled habitation iu this world heb 1113 verse g the plain or oak of moieh this was about in the center of palestine there sur rounded by the canaanites whose land he was to inherit abram dwelt as a stranger verse 7 unto ctiy seed will 1 give this land this like tho rest of the r covenant was unconditional promise and admits of no repeal for gods gifts and callings are nev er to be repented of rom 1129 the land of canaan belongs to is rael and they shall yet be in poss ession of it there builded an altar unto the lord the altar speaks of worship wherever abra ham went as he journeyed through out the land he drew near to god with a sacrifice verse 8 he removed pitch ed his tent and he builded an altar between bethel the house of god and hai ruins speaking of this ruined world abraham is found with a tent and an altar he is a worshipping pilgrim with no i continuing city verse 9 going on still from place to place he went as it were surveying the land promised to him and to his seed but which he was never to possess actually during his own lifetime heb 118 by faith abraham went out not knowing whith er it was enough- for him to know that god had commanded him to go in faith he went forth content to let the lord lead the way it is noticeable that in the honor roll of this eleventh chapter of hebrews more space is given to this great hero of faith than to any other per son whoso name is recorded verse 9- dwelling in tabern acles with isaac and jacob though all were heirs of the same primes they were content to dwell in pilgrims tents as became men whose hopes were set on a better inheritance verse 10 a city which hath foundations abraham looked forward to a place in the city which john saw long afterward coming down from god out of heaven the eternal home of the redeemed and the capital of the kingdom to be set up when christ returns verse 11 sara judged him faithful who had promised abra hams wife sarah shared with him in the hope- of the promised seed though natural conditions seemed to make the fulfillment of gods word altogether unlikely they both knew that with god all things arc possible and so their faith was rewarded in due time and isaac was born that through- him the covenantline might be carried on verse 12 therefore spring there even of one as good as dead as the stars and as the sand innumerable god is tho god of resurrection who de lights to manifest his power when al natural expectation is at an end so abraham and sarah became the progenitors or a mighty host num berless as the stars or the sands thus god fulfilled his word 7ie bfofd mail dear sir may i be permitted space in your paper to make an appeal for free transportation for our soldiers sailors and airmen whom i feel sure are entitled to it since they are expected to risk their lives in order that these methods of transporta tion will be secure for us many of our fighting forces are hundreds of miles from their respective homes their v are so little why should they be expected to pay transportation the government ministers bills to the country are large each year for their transpor tation they get i think the best contribution any cabinet ministor could make would be to pay his way and let army navy and airforce travel free of course such a privil ege can be abused and taken ad vantage of the government could permit transportation free on the grounds that the services make it their business to see to it that it is not used for any other means than in the visiting of the homes and parents of the aforementioned for ces anyfound using it for any other means should be punished subscriber dental g s barker ljjs das honor graduate of roy of dental
