SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON VII CODS CARE OF HIS PEOPLE â€" P«alm 23. GOLDEN TEXTâ€"Jehovah it my â- hcplierd; 1 •hall not want. Pa. 23: I. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Tims â€" David lived through most of the elevciuh century B.C . This psahii lias no date; some place it early in his life, anl some late in his life; tentatively we might say that it could have been written about 1040 B.C. The beauty of this little psalm consists first in its calm assur- ance of Jehovah's all-sufficiency; and second in the simplicity, vai - iety and fullness with which tt'is a.ssurance is set forth. The essen- tial thought is felt to be ona from beginning to end, and thac thought it sweei. The infinite- God is mine, and cares for mc, provides for me, is with me. Kw- ery blcssinp named appears as a personal gift. It h this intcnsa personality which so greatly en- dears he psalm. .\nd then thtic U a satisfying conclusion: it is • consummation, which deiij-iin because of the feeling of home- longing to which it appeals, ana which it assures of satisfac-tion. Jehovah in this psalm is Sheph- erd, Guide, Hos: â€" relation to whom as sheep, traveller, guest, U easily imagined by every quickened soul. What the Shephera Doei For U< Ps. 23: 1. Jehovah is my shcii. herd; I shall not want. If some- one else were tho shepherd, I might want. But when the Loid is my shepherd he in able to -sup- ply my needs, and he is certainly willing to do so, for his heart ;s full of love. 2. He maketh mc to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters. As God has clothed the earth with verdure of green, becau.se green is the most restful of all colors for the eye, so God brings ths soul into gi-een pastures â€" into places where the eye of the soul will be delighted with the things that it beholds, most of all, the beauty of the Lord, the love- liness of Christ, the holiness of life itself, and the resplendenrc of the hope which is set before us â€" these wonderful truths al- ways rest the fevered and weasy soul. Guide and Restorer 3. He restorelh my soul. Christ uses may restorative ministries. Sometimes ic is the word of a friend or minister. Or it may be some lovely mood of nature. He guidcth me in the paths of right- eousness, for his name's sake. Tn the spiritual life, of which the psalmist is here speaking, the word "path" is a very simple, easily understood symbol of one's condut't, the manner of one's life, determined by the thinjjs he does and the things he does not do. 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Was the Lord able to recover the soul from life's wayside weariness and hunger? He will equally defend and keep it amid life's deadliest dangers. "Thy rod and thy staff" arc not synonymous, for ever the shepherd of today, though often armed with a gun, carries two in- .struments of wood, his great oak club, thick enough to brain a wiid bea.st. and his staff to lean upon or to touch his sheep. Spiritual Joy and Bleiting f) Thou preparcst a table be fore me in the presence of mine enemies. In the Lord our God w* are secured against the dcstrur! - iveness of our yesterdays, tho menaces of today, and the dark- ening fears of the morrow. Our enemies are stayed at the door. We are the Lord's guests, and our sant-turary is inviolable. Thoi hast anointed my head with oil. This similitude is borrowed from the u.sagc of an Lastern feast, in which the welcome of the ho-l to his guests is expressed by llu- precious unguents with which bo anoints them on their entram- into his home. Our anointing i ours in the mind and intention "f God; it is for us lo seek it, Id appropriate it. and to allow it lo he the one blessed ronsciousnPK.s of our life. My cup runneth ovei. The cup is g symbol expressi^ig man'« capacity for any particular experiences, as a cup filled with suffering, or a cup of joy. Hei.- it seem.s to speak of contentment. The cup syinboli/.e? man's desii'iK and need.s, and the overflowing cup â€" the abundant .s.itisfaction f these needs and desires, so tluit the man who ha.< the Lord for his shepherd, and ha.» all the blessing of which the psalmist hiM Just been speakin;;. knows a liT,? filled with rontenlnient, pp:i. e and satisfaetion.

Photo. alone, for we are sinners needing forgiveness. Not mercy alone, for we need many things besides for- giveness. But each with the other linked â€" goodness to supply every want; mercy to forgive every sin. God will not break off his kind- ness, nor suffer his faithfulness to fail, nor forsake the works of his hands, for "his mercy endur- eth forever." And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever. I shall be a member of his house- hold, a member of his family, enjoying his protection, holding communion with him, and subsist- ing on his bounty. David surely must be thinking of life beyond the grave, of fellowship with God in a heavenly home. -â- V commercial treaty was sign- ed between Norway and Great Britain as long ago as 1217. Temper â€" ^Your Voice When angry a person invariab- ly raises his voice in pilch as well as in volume. Hundreds of ex- periments with the human voice have been conducted by two em- inent professors. Dr. Grant Fair- banks and Dr. Wilbert Pron- ovos, of the State University of Iowa, in which film and stage actors as well as business men and women in all walks of life have figured. They have discover- ed that when rage or fear grips one, the voice goes up a full oc- tave above the pitch level for indifference, contempt, or grief. These three range in the neigh- bourhood of low C. When actors portray emotion their voices cov- er a pitch raime of fully three octaves. RADIO REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS AUTUMN FORECAST Although this hot weather keeps us well aware that it is summer it will not be long until the cooler fall days, and all the new programs of the 1!)41 sea- son will be making their bows. 'I'his fall will see great changes in faces and casts, as well ns types of shows, on all the net- woiks and major stations. The public i.^ clamouring for new radio shows â€" not some- thing just done over from the old pattern, as the Charlie McCarthy show was. This season will see Kddie Cantor back on the air lanes, Fred Allen in a new show on a new network â€" and you will hear many newcomers to radio taking star parts in the new pro- grams. So you can look forwanl to a real season of top-notch enter- tainment this fall and winter! A MODEST BEGINNING Playing .•^tooge to a star is not always an ignominious role. Nicol- aa Massue is an e.xample. He is tho well-known Montreal tenor who is frequently heard as gue.^t soloist with the "Sevillana" pro- gramme, presented over the CBC network Saturdays at 8.30 p.m. He tells this story of his modest beginning in the world of open;: He was sitting patiently await- ing an audition in an agent's of- fice in Milan. In the sanctum sanctorum a well-known prima donna was singing for the agent. When she came to her favourite aria from "Butterfly", she refus- ed to sing without the aid of a tenor. The agent knew better than to cross her, and in desper- ation he faced the line of aspir- ants in the waiting room. "A tenor," he cried â€" "any tenor". Massue answered, sang with the soprano and when the audition ended, he, mid not the lady, was handed the contract. The follow- ing week he made his debut as tho Duke in "Rigoletto." GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS CBC listeners will have an op- l)ortunity of following the pro- gress of the l'J40 Canadian Open Golf C'hampionship tournaments which are to be played en the course of the Scarborough Golf iind Country Club.

Saving Ontario's Natural Resources (No. 3) Much has been written about the passenger pigeon and its dis- ;ipi)earance. The best account wo have for the species in Ontario is by Margaret H. Mitchell in Contribution No. 7 uf the Uoyt.1 Ontario .Museum of Zoology and I do not intend to repeat a too fann'liar story. But every bit of evidence we have .shows that man was solely responsible for the e.\- tinction of these birds. In one year, 1878, at Petoskey, in Mich- igan, market hunters shipped ov- er a million pigeons from one colony. No bird, no matter how abundant, could stand such de- struction. RECORD OF DESTRUCTION White pine makes the be.st lumber cf any of our native soft woods. Formerly it grew in a great belt across Ontario from Lake Huron to the OUawa. Lun'- bering for this pine started early in the 19th century. The trees were made into square timbers that were floated down our rivers and shipped around the world. The only virgin stands of white pine that remains are in Algon- ciuin Park for it took only 60 years to despoil the growth of centuries. WE CAN REPLENISH The record of the destruction and waste of many of our natural resoui-ces can be duplicated every- where on the continent. Looking back we can see the mistakes but our forbears believed that the wild life, the forests and the fish- es would last forever. This was quite understandable but we should endeavor to avoid similiar optimism. We can replenish many of our depleted resources but it will take a long time. Champ Hair-Splitter The .\mericans claim to turn out the finest machine tools and is George G. Webber, of Cleve- land. Ohio, whose steel blocks are finished so perfecly that when placed together they stick as though welded, and must be slid apart. Recently he was engaged Farm Notes . . . THE SPRING WHEAT THAT CAME THROUGH Winter-killing of Fall Wheat is one of the commonest argu- ments against seeding this im- poi'tant crop, writes Prof. Henry G. Bell, fo the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph. Winter- killing may be occasioned by poor drainage, continued drought in fall, dessication or drying out due to cold blistering winds in late winter and early spring, or star- vation due to deficiency in plant- food. A well-nourished Wheat crop will usually survive low tem- peratures and drymg winds of winter and early spring. Ten F'all Wheat growers in the Niagara Peninsula reported little difference in appearance between fertilized and unfertilized Wheat last fall. In spring they reported an average winter-kill of un- fertilized Wheat amounting to 24%, but only 8% winter-kili of adjoining fertilized Wheat. AN OUTSTANDING SURVIVAL One outstanding survival oc- curred on the farm of Mr. Mor- rison Comfoi't, St. Anns. Last fall as winter set in, Mr. Comfort re- ported the unfertilized Wheat about 80 'i normal, and the un- fertilized about 40%. His soil test showed the field to be acid in reaction (5. Op H) medium well supplied with nitrate nitro- gen and potash, but very low in available phosphoric acid. Fertil- izer was applied at 2-50 lb<. per acre to half of the area. This spring the Agricultural Repre- sentative of Lincoln County grad- ed the fertilized area 90% norm- al, and the unfertilized 30%. The average yields and weights per bus. for fertilized and unfer- tilized Wheat in the H>3n tes'.s were a.s follows: â€" Fertilized â€" 43.9 bus. per A. weighing 59.0 lbs. per bus.; Un- fertilized â€" 33.1 bus per A. weigh- ing 58.0 lbs. per bus.; Gain fror.i fertilizer â€" 10.8 bus. per A. and 1.0 lbs. increase in Wt.

It is like split- ting a hair, and then subdividinc it eight or ten times. When work- ing to such limits, Mr. Webber takes into consideration the heat of his body and the tight throwik off by the electric bulbs in h«ii workshop.
