The Sermon on the Mount was delivered in the spring of A.D. 27. The passage taken from Luke's Gospel were, iniored in the early summer of A. P. 2S. The in- cident referred to iu the Book of Acts occurred in A.D. 36. The words from the twelfth chapter of Mark were uttered on Tuesday of Passion Week. April 4th, A.D. 30. The Epistle of Paul to the Ro- mans, and the First Epistle of Peter, were written, approximately, A.D. 60. Place. The Sermon on the Mount was delivered ou a moun- tain in Palestine, probably Iu Judaea. The event taken from Mark's Gospel occurred In Jerusa- lem. The Incident from Acts oc- curred in Samaria. The Epistle to. the Romans was written from the city of Corinth. We do not know from what place the Apostle Peter wrote his first Epistle. Preserving Society 13. "Ye are the saK of the earth: but If the salt have lost its savor. Therewith shall H be salted? it Is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be- cast out and trodden under foot at men." Our Lord here te speaking not of meu generally, tut strictly of Christian believers, disciples of the Lord Jesus. The definite implications of this verse are that the world itself Is cor- rupt and corrupting, and that Christians, as they live here among men. are to exert an Influence re- tarding this corruption, as salt by Its distinctive chemical nature re- tards and often prevents corrup- tion taking place in meats, and other forms of food to which salt t* applied. Point Others To God 14. "Ye are the light of the world. A city set upon a hill can- not be hid. 15. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shtueth unto all that are in the house. 16. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who Is in heaven." Here Christians aro the light of the world, the source of spiritual light to it as the sun is of natural light. They are the lijrht by means of which the world, the" mass of mankind, may sec the things of religion, may see the truth about G<v.\ and His service. The Christian's Obligation 13. "And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees HiiJ of tho Herodians. that they tui.eht catch him in talk. 14. And when they weri> come, they say unto him. Teacher, we know that thou art tnii'. and carest uot for any ouc-; for thou vegarileat not the person of men. but of a truth teuchest the way of God: Is II; lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or uot? 15. Shall we give, or shall we not give? But h-e. knoWiusc their hypocrisy, sakl unto them. Why unike yr trial of nif? brins: me a denarius, that 1 may see It: 16. And they brought H. And he saith uuto them. Whose I* this imaj<g and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 17. And Jesus said unto them. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. And they marvelled greatly at him." The Pharisees aaked if they should pay tribute to Caesar, by which they meant, shoul dthey, as Jcw<. pay taxes to the Roman Government. It was understood among the Jews that to accept the coinage of any king was to acknowledge his supremacy by accepting the denarius therefore as a current coin they were openly declaring that Caesar was their sovereign. Therefore oar Lord said that they were to render unto Caesar the things that were Caes- ar's, but He added the*far deeper words and unto God the things that are God's. To Caesar you owe the coin which you have ad- mitted as the symbol of his author- ity, but to God you owe yourselves. Duty To Rulers IS. "Be subject to every ord- nance of man, for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme: 14. Oh unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doer* and for praise to them that do well. 15. For so Is the will of God. that by well-doing ye shall pot to silence the Ignorance of foolish men." While order is a divine command, all special forms of civil government are mere means of carrying out God's de- signs for the welfare of society. The Christians were accused of being evil-doers. They were to be conspicuous for well-doing. Bondservants of God 18. "As free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God." They must not attempt to hide wicked- ness by boasting of their freedom but they must be as God's serv- ant. The word "servant" in refer- ence to Christians implies neither degradation nor injustice but ex- presses chiefly the rendering of absolute service. Honor All Men 17. "Honor ail men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King." Christ honored all men. not simply for what thc-y were in them- selves. He honored them all for what they were to God. The spe- cial love of the brethren does not shut out other forms and degrees of love. Our Lord's words should be considered in all their full force of obligation. Men are to fear God with the holy reverential awe of sons. They are not to faar man more ahan God, however great may he the authority with which he is invested. THE BOOK SHELF LITTLE MAN By G. Herbert SalUni Little Man is an honest and un- flinching account of four amazing decades in the growth of a nation. The scenes more swiftly across Canada and back, to Britain and France and home again. Th'e events are vivid ami the charac- ters slendidly alive, for the author describes what he has seen and known and felt. Little Man is a story that awakens faith in our country and stimulates pride in our traditions and confidence in our destiny. At the same time it never loses sight of man himself. Without mawkish sentimentality the author cham- pions the little man who never knows what it is to win, but who will never admit defeat, who fills the armies of the world because there are so many of him, and who can never be conquered be- cause there are too many of him.

NEXT: Bird* hi How To Get Rid Of Wolf Menace Once upon a time the editor of The Star got himself a wolf coat which demonstrated that wolf skins can be converted into outer garments which are both hand- some and useful in cold weather. Now wolf pelts on which the Ontario Government pays boun- ties, including a substantial num- ber from Algoma District, are be- ing used to manufacture vests which will do something to make the life of the sailors of the Can- adian navy on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans a bit more com- fortable during the winter months. That means that the wolf pelts are doing a worthwhile job and after all there is nothing more laudable than converting a nui- sance to some useful purpose. * * Running free in the bush, the Algoma wolf, or for that matter any other Ontario wolf, is a de- structive creature. He won't at- tack man, is the fact that the $100 reward offered by The Star 17 years ago to anyone who could prove that he had been attacked by a wolf in its natural state in Algoma has never been success- fully claimed, has amply shown. But so far as farm animals, deer and even moose are concerned, the wolf does a great deal of damage. That is why the Ontario Government offers a bounty of $25 on wolves. That is why the Algoma Wolf Club, quite apart from the fact that its members enjoy the chase, has from time to time set itself the task of clear- ing out the wolves from areas where the farmers have been suf- fering from the animals deprada- tions. * These are only palliatives, how- ever. But if, inspired by the edi- tor's fur coat and by the use of wolf pelts to make vests for the sailors, it should become recog- nized that wolfskins have a real commercial value, the remedy might be found. For if a first class market for wolfskins could be built up, wolves might soon become even scarcer than beaver threatened to be a few years ago. But in that case someone would come along and want a close sea- son on wolves in orde/ to keep them from extinction and then where would the farmer's live stock come in? SCOUTING . . . A record of 23,000 hours ol national sen-ice during the pres ent year has been chalked up b\ the 14th Edinburgh West Troop of Boy Scouts. Their duties havt included Home Guard and Zoo police duties. o Boy Scouts of Peterboro, Ont. have shipped 30,000 magazines to the armed services during the past: year. The last shipment of 30 cartons, containing 4,000 maga- zines, was sent to the local regi- ment, the Prince of Wales Rang- ers, now stationed on the West Coast. Boy Scouts of St. John's Troop, Reading, England, have adopted a nearby day nursery. N'o, they're not minding the babies, but are mending their toys and keeping them always in good repair. Military establishments in and around Canada's capital city have been kept supplied with medicine bottles by the Boy Scouts of Ot- tawa. Some 50,000 have been turned over to military author- ities so far. o The loss of their Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster and prac- tically all of their older Scouts failed to dim the enthusiasm of the i)th Troop, Swansea. Wales. The Troop Leader, Patrol Leader and one Scout set out to com- pletely reorganize the Troop. To- day they have 50 boys and are- still going strong. o At a recent meeting of the Air Raids Precaution organization at Sydney Mines, X. S., the guest speaker was a youthful Boy Scout, Billy MacLaggan, who lectured on an A. R. P. topic. Billy is said to be the youngest person ever to address a public meeting in Sydney Mines.
