comments that awful thins those of us who occasionally turn on our radios or wander into restaurants where juke boxes are tolerated cannot have missed the cementmixerlike strains of a new song called the thing as bellowed by a man named phil harris this the thing surely takes rank with all the great musical monstrosities of the past songs like the music goes round the hut sut song and mairsy doats we are told that the man who wrote the thing is the same man who wrote good night irene surely not no man could possibly invent two such songs in a lifetime not even if he had a grudge against mankind lethbridge herald safety rewarded it is so unusual in these times to have costs reduced that the new schedule of automobile insurance rates makes pleasant reading for those who have tried to exercise ut most care in driving those coming within the selectdriver class will pay less for insurance coverage in the oshawa district where we are located because of lower loss statistics the saving in most other parts of ontario will be similar except in windsor sarnia welland and port colborne where accident records are not so favorable and require an increased charge the select class is comprised of the owners of private passenger cars used chiefly for pleasure where there is no driver resident in the household or employed as chauffeur who is under 25 years of age it is pointed out that cars driven even partially by youthful drivers had over 30percent higher insurance los ses than cars in the select class it is quite in order that safe driving should be rewarded by special consideration it will serve as an inducement for other drivers to get into the select class odd wills when a woman at fisher branch man recently willed the main part of a 5000 estate to three animals two dogs and a

to an article in the manchester guardian weekly it cites the will of a woman in england which in 1813 declared that i do give to my beloved parrot an annuity of 20q guineas a year to be paid halfyearly and i do also desire that 20 guineas may be paid directly on my death to be expended on a very high long and large cage for the foresaid parrot in contrast with this benevolence toward a bird the same article recalls a will in which a human beneficiary was tjrushed off with five shillings this will was made by david davis in 1788 and in reference to his daughterinlaw it said i bequeath to mary davis the sum of five shillings which is sufficient for her to get drunk at my expense for the last time remaking the soil farmers can do things with their land which could not have been done formerly with the best will in the world for improvement there are some farms in the province of quebec where they are plowing up the subsoil and mixing it with the topsoil in order to givl better texture to both part of champlain county has an unusual soil forma tion with a shallow layer of sand lying over a bed of im pervious clay the sand has a low level of fertility at best and the clay makes soil drainage difficult about 30 years ago there was some work done in the district hauling clay from pits and mixing it with the sand the mixture was plainly better than the original soil but the procedure was too laborious to be economical last fall a large outfit was taken into this area two diesel tractors with caterpillar treads and a huge plow 20 feet long and weighing three and a half tons ploved land to a furrow depth of from one and a half to- four feet deep and more than three feet wide the quebec department of agriculture pays a small subsidy to encourage the undertaking on a field treated this way as an experiment two years ago a growth of clover is established for the first time in many years this method of handling a particular situation has only a local application but the job could not have been handled that way without the use of the highpowered machinery in the last few years we have heard a lot about clearing land of stumps and rock with bulldozers this is a logical extension of power farming remoking the soil itself for better results bakbel wire wreath reminder to stalin a west berlin anticommunist organization called the fighting

inconsist ency in our lives he is free to do his special work of making the things of christ real to our hearts and stirring us up to everincreas ing love and devotion to our lord these are two links that bind the christian to christ namely union and communion the link of union is so strong that once form ed no power on earth or in hell can break it john 102530 rom s 3539 the link of communion is so fragile that the least dis obedience to the will of god will snap it instantly and it can only be reformed by selfjudgment and i confession 1 john 169 as we nri wii in fellowship with christ we bring forth fruit to the glory of god a christian out of commun ion with the lord is to a large extent a cumberer of the ground as the heart is occupied with christ we grow in his likeness and others will see him reflected in us acts 4 13 the historical setting the parable of the vine and the branches was spoken by our lord as he and his disciples were on their way from the upper room where they had partaken of the last supper to the garden of gethsemane in the third chapter of the epistle to the philippians which was written by paul during his roman imprisonment he con trasts his religion before he saw the risen christ with the blessed experience upon which he enter ed when christ became the all- absorbing passion of his soul verse by veise john 15 1 i am the true vine and my father is the husband man in studying this parable we should bear in mind that the theme is fellowship and fruitbear ing not simply life as some have thought of old israel was gods vine planted in palestine to bear fruit for himself psa 808 isa 517 however israel failed to glorify god and had to be set aside hos 101 now christ and those who are associated with him have taken the place of testimony in the earth under the nurturing care of the father to bring forth fruit unto god verse 2 every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth fruit less lives indicate broken com munion f mil fulness results from fellowship wherever fruit is found the father purges as the vinedresser prunes and sprays in order that there may be more fruit verse 3 clean through the word it is the word itself that cleanses us that our fruit for god may be increased verse 1 abide in me and i in you there can only be fruit as we live in fellowship with christ we need to remember that fruit is something more than service although intimately connected with it rom 113 the fruit of the spirit will be produced as we walk in the spirit gal 522 23 verse 5 without me ye can do nothing selfeffort is of no avail it is only as we abide in christ that fruit is produced phil38 all things but loss that i may win christ paul had given up all for christ when first converted never for one moment did he go back on the great renunciation he had made when first won for that exalted jesus whom he had ignorantly persecuted he still counted all that earth could offer as dross and refuse as compared to christs sur passing glory which was the one great object ever before him verse 9 not having mine own righteousness truti the righteousness which is of god he who once trusted and gloried in his own fancied righteousness has now found a perfect righteousne in christ which has led him renounce every other ground confidence verso 10 that i may know him and the fellowship of his sufferings to know christ intim ately was

we are called upon to share these precious things with one another assured that as we thus enjoy fellowship together the spirit of god will lead us on into fuller understanding of divine realities the heart of the lesson we can enjoy fellowship with christ only as we obey his word while all believers have been called into the fellowship of gods son 1 cor 19 which is another name for membership in the body of christ it is only obedient chris tians who have fellowship with the father and the son in a prac tical way 1 john 13 this is a priceless privilege which we should cherish above all else
