battle over beer if one were to judge from the space given to it in some newspapers one might think the war was being fought over the amount of beer available for civilians in canada in our opinion the whole controversy is a bit disgusting no possible contribution can be made to the war effort whether the amount of beer is increased or lessened soldiers in italy who are trying to overcome a stubborn and merciless foe must be amazed and sickened by the selfish ness of people in canada who are out to get their fill of beer regardless of whether the war effort succeeds or not the use of manpower in its manufacture bottles shipping con tainers trucking etc apparently does not concern them so long as they get their full quota of beer for your early potatoes y sprouting potatoes a- few weeks before planting time has been found helpful to obtain extrayearly mature potat oes- for all that one can scarcely see that it would pay to do this in a commercial way however for the gardener who delights to be first the plan is simple and positive an early variety such as irish cobbler should be chosen for this treatment an agricultural expert tells us the tubers selected for sprouting should first be disinfected then placed in shallow boxes with the bud ends up and placed in a room with a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees healthy sprouts should develop in five or six weeks seed

starling nuisance strange how things which were once considered a bless ing in time become a nuisance take the little starling for example it is reputed to be one of the most effective bird enemies of ground jnhabiting insects according to the us department of agriculture they include in their diet such pests as the clover leaf weevil japanese beetle cutworms and grasshoppers unfortunately they do not confine their taste to these but are also very fond of cherries and other fruit and garden truck they aire also considered objection able because they congregate in enormous roosts and usurp the nesting sitesof native birds the situation must be particularly bad around wood stock because the mayor of that quiet little city has taken the matter in hand and is making an intensive study to find ways and means of reducing the nuisance municipal authorities and fruit growers in the niagara peninsula are also on the hunt for ideas of combat and an advertisement appeared jri the hamilton spectator the other day asking for suggestions if the little starling was possessed of suf ficient intelligence he might take a keen delight in having so successfully outwitted the high intellectual faculties of man who seeks his destruction the effort to defeat the starling in woodstock will be watched locally with interest since this bird became a great pest in stouffville a few years ago after feeding all day on the farms ofmarkham for it was from the south they seem ed to come and go they congregated in town in the evening and made life unpleasant around sections of main street the most

the importance of the conversion of saul of tarsus and his selection by the risen christ to be his special ambassador to the gentiles may be gathered from the fact that it re lated- more or loss fully live times in- the new testament we have lukes account and we have pauls story then in philippians 34llhe refers to it when writing to a christian church to his son in the faith timothy he again tells the story of his onetime enmity to the t gospel and the grace of god that transformed the persecutor into an evangelist these five recitals of the great change that came to this man are most suggestive emphasizing as theydo the incorrigible evil of the heart of man even religious man and the sovereign electing 1 grace of god v verse by verse acts 91 breathing out threat- l enings and slaughter against the disciples of the lord this attitude and behaviour was something for which the apostle paul could never forgive himself in after years even though he uiditigndrantly in un- belief it was the result of a mis taken zeal for judaism and a de- testation of what he considered a false and hereical system and de served to be destroyed as ruinous to thesoul and inimical to all true

a light from hea- ven this manifest effulgence was a supernatural blaze of glory from the presence of god it blinded saul for the time being to all else verse 4 why persecutest thou me this was to saul a remark- in able revelation- it told him that so intimate is the relation of be lievers in christ to their risen lord that to touch them means to per secute him this was in germ the revelation of that mystery of the one body which it was given him to unfold later verse5 i am jesus whom thou persecutest note the human name of our blessed lord he bears in heaven the name given to him when born on earth it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks like a refractory against the goads designed to make him take the right way verse g lord what wilt thou have me to do the use of the term lord implied immediate surrender convinced that jesus was the christ the erstwhile per secutor yielded at once to his au thority verse 7 the men hearing a voice but seeing no man we are told they saw the light but heard not- the voice of him that spake some have thought they detected a contradition here but this is- ab surd as it is the same author who relates the two accounts the men with paul heard the sound of the voice but could not make out the message it was to them an unin telligible- noise as of thumlod verse8 saul arose from the earth he -had- fallen- prostrate now he arose and blinded still by the brilliancy of the light allowed himself to beled by- the hand into damascus- r verse 9 three days without his sight these were days of deep ex ercise for rhim as he reviewed the

possible there was some strange mistake and that the vision was not to be trusted verse 15 rhe is a chosen vessel unto me the lord reassured his servant by revealing his purpose for the new convert in grace he had been laid hold of to be a min ister and a witness of the faith he had once sought to destroy he was to be gods evangelist for both the jews and gentiles verse 16 how great things he must

one is saved this calls for recognition of his authority over the life and a readiness to be directed by him as the risen lord from the moment sauls heart was won for that jesuswhose followers he had persecuted and whom he had looked upon as an impostor his one great yearning desire was to know him better and to glorify him in all things this should be char acteristic of those who have yield ed
