Let justic* roll down as waters, and righteous- ness at a mighty stream. Amos 5: 24. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. The hook of Ecclesiastes may have been written about 975 B.C. Amos prophesied about 790 to 7S5 B.C. The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, and the First Ep- iistle of Peter, were both written about A.D. 60. Place. Ecclesiaatas may have been written in the city of Jerus- alem. Amos was a prophet to the northern -city of Israel. The- Epistle To The Romans was written irom the city of Corinth. The Second Epistle to the Corinthians was probably written from the city of Phillipi. We do not know where the Apostle Peter was when ha wrote his First Epistle. Daily Righteousness 21. "I hate, I despise your feasu, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. 22. Yea. though ye offer me your burnt-offering* and meal-offerings, I will not ac- cept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your (at 1>ea-ts. 23. Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs: for I will not hear the melody of thy Tiole. 24. But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream." The Lord said Ha simply despised their feast days, ami would not receive the sweet- smelling savour of their sacrifices, nor have any regard for their peace offerings. These sacrifices were all right In their place, but they were worthless if those offering them chose to live in constant disobedience to the laws of holi- ness. It it; so easy to substitute ritual for righteousness. The ritual is soon finished, but righteousness is something that should mark every aspect of our life, every day of our life. Abuse of Liberty 19. "So then lee us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another. 20. Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. AU things indeed are clean; howbeit it it evil for that man who eat.-th with offence. 21. It is good not to at flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy broth- er stumbleth." The Apostle hs been talking in this chapter about the love which Christians ought to have for one another and the fruits of such a love, namely an avoid- ance of judgment of others, ami especially a strong determination not to do anything, even in the matter of eating and drinking, which would cause their Christian brethren to stumble. Any use of Christian liberty which disregards the damaging effect It may pro- duce upon a weak brother i< a bad use. How such eating may prove a stumbling-block te not said but we certainly can hurt others by what we drink, namely, intoxicating beverages. We have liberty for doing this, but we should not use this liberty, because In so doing, we are liable to lead a weaker brother, who looks up to us for guidance.into bondage in these things. God's Assurance 17. "Wherefore come ye out from among them, and be ye sep- arate, said the Lord, and touch no unclean thing: and I will receive you." This separation Irom the world was not to be physical and local and social, but moral and spiritual. These Corinthians were not to migrate to other cities, but to keep free from the iutiiuacies and fellowships which might ally them with Idolatry: and today Christ iaue are to live In the world, while they are not of the world. They live among their fellow men In close relationships: yet all the while they belong to another sphere of life. But this separation does not mean loneliness or loss. It results in a divine companion- ship which Is more than eoanpen- eation for all that the world offers. Such was the promise to God's people of old, and such is the as- surance made to his servants to- day. 1. "Forasmuch then as Chrisl suffered in the flesii, arm ye your- selves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath censed from sin." l^et us refuse the lawless strivings ot self. It will need resolution and determination. But victory Is sure. And though there will be no ces- sation In the temptation, there will be cessation in the yielding to it, which Is sin. In time the bodily desires, long thwarted, will give less and less trouble. Excess Of Wine 2. "That ye no longer should live the rest of your time In the flesh to the luets of men, but to the will of God," Excess of wine- is closely con- nected with abominable idolatries. Is not any use of wine excessive, unless it be taken for some very dletlnct purpose of health, pre- scribed by medical authority - and, even then, often mistakenly. FIGHTING WORDS FOR FIGHTING MEN A British woman war worker chalks a warlike message on the gun of A Covenanter tank, brought to the factory where she works to shpir workers how the equipment they make is used in fighting machines. 3. "For the time past may suf- fice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walk- ed In lasciviousnese, lusts, wine- blbbings, revellings. carousingB. and abominable idolatries : 4. wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of yon". The attitude of worldly people wasting their lives in riot- ous living toward Christians who utterly spurn such orgies of in- iquity to the same today a it was when the Apostle Peter wrote, 1900 years ago. A man who refuses to drink with a number of other men on a train, or in a restaurant, may often have to stand ridicule. Chris- tian people who make it known that they do not gamble may have to be thought of as strange. We, by our salvation, have been sep- arated from worldliness, which leads down to destruction, and know a path of righteousness, the fruit of which Is a joy, and peace, and increasing strength, and un- selfishness, a holiness of life, and righteousness of conduct, which the world has never known, out- side of union with Jesus Christ There will come a tima when we will just have to make a definite decision in our own life, whether we are going the way the world goes, or the way the Lord leads. The wages of one is disillusion- ment, and death, whereas the fruit of the other is holiness, and peace, and eternal life. Judgment A*aits 5. "Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead." Judgment awaits men on the other side of death the judgment seat o Christ for his servants, to adjust their rewards, and tiie final judgment of the ungodly: but it is also true that we are now in the presence of our Judge. ^DIVIDUAL Itlzeits AL vs MMMCE A IRJWIN jH A Weekly Column About HUB and That in Our Canadian Array It Is quite a few weeks now since I was urgently cbided by an editor for getting too personal about the Reserve Army, but it can't hare been too bnd because he published the article anyway. If you give a columnist an inch he always takes Che proverbial ell. so here goes a little more about the men who are training them- selves fur home defence. What brought the whole thing up was a suggestion made before the parade was dismissed the other night by the colonel that the best way to bring the regiment up to strength would be for every mem- ber to bring In on recruit. This suggestion appealed so strongly to a private soldier in one of the companies that he turned over to the battalion for recruiting pur- poses 500 agate lines of space which would otherwise have been devoted to advertising his own business during the month of September. Another incident worth mention- iug is the case of a private soldier who spent 14 days with us at camp. For this he drew pay at the rate of $1.20 per day and when hi* cheque was handed to him he bor- rowed a pen from his company commander and endorsed it over to the colonel with the message that there were no strings attach- ed, lit due course the Ladies' Aux- iliary of our active service unit acknowledged to the soldier a con- tribution of $16.80 to its wool fund. It is interesting to note that both the private soldiers referred to are Jews. You can't help being personal about a Reserve Army which is looked upon as so personal an In- stitution as Is illustrated by the two cases I have mentioned. Both of these uieu are of categories that do uot fit them for active service, both own their own businesses they train in their own time and no generous employer makes them a preseut of two weeks' holiday in which to go to camp. These men aiv not unique, in fact it is pretty eafe to say that they are representative of the caltbre of the soldiers of the Re- serve Army as it is now consti- tuted. In other words, to the reserve soldier of today his unit is a per- sonal thing. It Is something to which he devotes not just the after-work hours two nights a week, 10 full Sundays In the year and 14 Jays at camp, but a good many minutes of fun time during the day. He may not consciously think it. but lu the buck of the mind of every man who, though he may be working hard at a war job. puts in these extra hours in training for the eventuality of attack upon LISTEN TO "COUNTRY NEWS" ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ONTARIO WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS EACH SUNDAY AT 2 P.M. CFRB - 860 On Your Dial hU homeland, there is tne realiza- tion that had It not been for train- ed citizen soldiers, the story In Yugoslavia and Russia would have been very different. History bears out that a country possessed at a trained citizen-sol- diery in peacetime is in leas dan- ger of attack than the country which has not taken this precau- tion. There must have been some- thing wrong with Hitler's intelli- gence service. It obviously fell down badly so far as Russia was concerned and hie own intelli- gence should have told him what to expect from the Yugoslavs! A few years before the outbreak of war in 1914 a melodrama was produced in England under the title "An Englishman's Home.'* This play demonstrated with ter- rific stage effect* and blood and death what happens when untrain- ed citizens attempt to defend their homes against fully trained invad- ers. If the lesson of this play had been learned and peaceful peoples had been prepared undoubtedly the 1914-1919 war would have been shorter and this one might not have occurred. It is not only for the warlike artt that we should prepare our- selves in peacetime, there are many peaceful arts that become not only virtues but stern necessities in time of war. The first of these, beyond doubt, is defence against inflation. It can the more rapidly become successful If, like military training, it has been carried on during the softer years of peace. We were unprepared on both counts, and on both counts the Individual Citizen's Army was re- sponsible. We found that we had more pennies in our pockets for luxuries. If we elected, or allowed to remain in office, politicians who pared down the budget by falling to provide funds for military train- ing. Having saved those necessary tax pennies we wasted them on unnecessary frills and now we flnd it hard to forego those trills. So hard, in tact, have we found k that we have welcomed the set- ting up of governmental boards and commissions to compel us to dis- continue our wasteful practices. The Wartime Prices and Trad* Board, one of the many wartime bodies we have created, le very much in the position of the In- structors of the Reserve Army. We have placed ourselves under it just M volunteers place themselves under their sergeants and officers, and w are learning from it just aa privates in the Reserve Army learn from their instructors, how to discipline ourselves so that we may become fit to meet the rigours of campalyninjt. | RADIO REPORTER By REX FROST War Workers Face Problem Of Tires Most industrial war workers are being carried to their jobs in auto- mobiles having tires that will be worn out before next winter Is over. N'early all the rest must face the same conditions before the end of the following winter. These conclusions are derived from a survey, being conducted In Massachusetts, and apply to con- ditions found there, but they have much more than merely regional significance. The surrey is still under way. and ia being conducted by the State Planning Board. Probably its findings are broadly applicable to hundreds of muni- tions centers throughout the coun- try. The percentages of tires of the war workers that are expected to remain in service each month are as follows: It Is estimated that one juarter of them will be worn out and unusuable by the end of this month, that half of them will be gone by March, that less than 20 percent of them will last through next year, and that by June of 1943 only two or three percent of the tires will still sur- vive In service. These figures are based on data covering only seven localities, but there Is so much similarity in the figures for the different plants that it seems like- ly that they may be fairly repre- sentative of such conditions else- where. Perhaps the most important con- clusion at which a reader arrives after studying the situation, is that gasoline rationing can provide only an inadequate and ineffective solu- tion for these tire problems. Re- treads are needed and promptly. The data forecast a rapidly ap- proaching war worker transporta- tion crisis.

So, ladies, if those youngsters of yours have an unfortunate habit of getting in your way around the kitchen just when you're preparing the supper, take them over to the radio at o'clock any day Monday through Friday and you can just about bet dollars to doughnuts that from then on it will be part of the regular routine of the household. Jimmy Allen brings his thrilling and inspiring adventure stories to young Ontario through CFRB To- ronto. There is just one thing. If Junior suddenly starts pester- ing you to sret a certain brand of breakfast food, you'll quite un- derstand that he has visions of be- coming another husky, adventur- ous addition of Jimmy Allen him- salf. * Another old friend has just re- turned to the airwaves, that per- ennial star of vaudeville, screen and radio, Al Jolson. Assisted by comedian Parkyakarkus, veteran Al started a new series of variety shows orer the Columbia Broad- casting System last week. Tues- day is the night. 10 o'clock the time, CFRB is included in the hook-up. Here is a show the ex- treme versatility of which will surely appeal to every member of the household. It has good music, a plentiful sprinkling of the ab- surdities and laughs of Parkyakar- kus, while Al Jolson himself with his inimitable style and individual interpretation of the songs most of us know so well rounds out a presentation which as a sparkling nightcap should prepare you for happy dreams. * Since 1934 when the Lux Radio Theatre first went on the air, Monday evening has always been regarded as a highlight of radio enthusiasts of the drama. In fact this top-rating dramatic broadcast now boasts to have an average listening audience of thirty mil- lions. Monday evenings 9 to 10 o'clock has seen an ever increas- ing number of radio seu in opera* tion the continent wide, tuned to the 114 Columbia stations who carry this popular program. From now on, Monday evening will pro- vide an even greater opportunity than before for lovers of dramatic art to indulge their preference. Immediately following the Lax Rii'iio Theatre will follow a ser- ies of plays by the Screen Guild Players, both programmes origin- ating in Hollywood. The sponsor. L:nly Esther. Peronality of the Week It has been said that sum* people succeed by what they know, others by what they do, and a few by what they are. The per- sonality behind that friendly fem- inine voice you hear Monday through Friday mornings 10.30 to 10.45 over CFRB, Mrs. Aitkea, succeeds on all three counts. She's slender, sparkling, vivacious, al- ways smiling, and always OM something amusing to telL For many years Mrs. Aitken has brought to her morning "istenerm interesting items of home news, international affairs, current books, and happenings around town and country. But Mrs. Ait- ken has many interests outside of radio. Currently she is in charg* of all womens' activities associ- ated with the Victory Loan Cam- paign. It was Mrs. Aitken wh co-oru'inated. organized and super, vised the Womens' Section of th Canadian National Exhibition. Most housewives know of her cooki'ip schools, many have at- tended them. One Ihing you prob- ably lion't know is that Mrs. Ait- ken has long instructed a cookinff school for boys, yes, boys! Just young lads gathered from til* homes in a certain section of downtown Toronto. Every Wed- nesday evening thest youngsters learn how to prepare and cook a dinner, and not only that. Whs* the dinner has been cooked, they ail sit down and enjoy it, and carry away with them not only the memory of a truly enjoyable meal, but the recipes and instruc- tion? to pass along to mother.
