Plato did the best he could. and his idea of the suite has many fine things in it. Confucius tattght the Chinese race many fine things and anticipated Christianity in enunclating the golden rule.

Revelation was given bit by bit, as the people nere able to bear it. Jesus did not itesttttte to criticise it, saying Moses said to you but I say: and Moses for the hardness of your hearts permitted certain things for the time being.

Mr. and Mrs. Gordon MacKln- non. Clyde Rlter. , 4 their spacious new home to the Hamil- ton I...0.l.. to celebrate the fifty years of Hamilton Lodge.

A bounleous chicken supper and ice cream were served. A beauti- ful cake, with fifty candles. do- nated by Mrs. Ford Wilson. was in the centre of the table, and the candles were lit by Mrs. John A. Macxinnon. Sgt. James Austin entertained with sacred songs with Mrs. Macxinnon at the piano.

Short addresses were given by Rev. J. R. Skinner. Art Cudmore. K. B. Young. John Murray, John A. Macxinnon and Mr. James MacPhail.

Those serving were Mrs. George Hyde, Mrs. John A. Macxinnon. Mrs. Colin Murray. ms. I-Iarold Scott. Mrs. Robert Boyle. Mrs. Sterling Glow and Mrs. John Gil- lesple.

Mr. Hebcr MacLean, in his grac- ious msnner thanked the host and hostess for their kindness. The singing of "Blest Be The Tie That Blnds" and "God save The King" closed a very pleasant evening.

He said that the beginning of a sermon was like the launching oi a vessel-difficulty of getting away. Then there would be a speeding up and before long you would be out in the open sea. the breeze filling the sails as you drove through the hurricane. On one occasion I preacher was dealing with the crucifixion and he was interrupted by some in the aud- ience, that they might not have to witness the last agonizing scene. One preacher, Mr. Elia hurled his message at the congregation in the form of an imaginary arrow. and those in the line of the arrow moved aside so as not to interrupt it. These men were great men and L. G. acknowledges his debt to them and actually had the mas. for a book on them, which his wife has now in her possession. but of all the sermons which he re- members best is that called the Little Lantern. There was this about them-they did not need to go outside the Bible for their sub- jects and when. they took I. sub- ject it was made new forever for the hearers. The great Welshman was heard to say: One of the things I would like to enjoy when I enter Paradise is a preaching festival with Elias, Evans. Ind Wern occupying the pulpit. This is how these fathers of Noncon- formity appeal to me.

Exporiers' Ass'n Recommendations

TORONTO. Nov. l'I-(CP)- The Canadian Exporters” Asocia- tlon today passed a resolution recommending that Canada use her position "as I supplier of es- sential and scarce materials and products" to bargain for the sale of other of her products.

Other resolutions recommended; That the government enter into negotiations with the governments of other Domintions "to the end that two-way trade within the Commonwealth may be restored and increased and that consider- ation be given to at-tsbllshment of a Dominion: dollar-sterling trade board to explore all means by which the sister dominion: might increase their exports to Canada. and in turn, our exports to them."

That government departments "give proper consideration to the allocation of scarce materials for the production of goods for ex- port to maintain our present markets.”

That the st. Lawrence seaway "should be constructed as soon 3! Pokiilble. with or without the participation of the United States." That all Canadian Government delegations pa-rticivpatin-g in in- ternational trade and tariff ne- gotiations "should make provis- ion for the inclusion of represent- atives of Canadian trade and in- dustry as accredited delegates." A resolution concemlng "grain handling methods" said "govern- mental markct control of wheat. imposed as a war measure in 1943 and enlarged to include oats and barley in 1968. increasingly ob- sirucis the efforts of grain and flour exporters to perform their functions."

Although plants have no stom- ach, the Jeaves cf the venus's fly- trap. are said to digest the files they catch.

Plants, whether rooted in the soil or on other organic bodies. are dependent on air. moisture. heat. and light for their proper devel- opment.

Besides plants

The most. amazing mode of nat- ural reproduction is that of the leaf of the orange tree. When it falls to the ground in a healthy. growing state, it sometimes puts forth roots and becomes a perfect plant.

What a curious view of vege- table life do the principles of re- production unfold! Namely, that all parts of a plant. whether root. tuber. bulb. stem. leaf, branch or seed-will, under favorable condi- tlons. become a perfect plant. ex- actly like the parent from which it sprung. If Mother Nature de- cides against fruit and seed there will he tubers or runners instead. There is nothing like this to be met with in the animal kingdom. except among the very lowest forms, as the polyps and sponges, which also increase by division.

if a crab or an insect looses one of its limbs it doesn't worry be.- cause a new one will soon take its place.

The wild rose produces only a single row of petals. but when cul- tivated. many rows of petals are formed.

What causes the different colors in flowers or the plumage of birds? No cause has ever been assigned for these phenomena. Botanists, - however, know that a blue flower will change to white or red but never to yellow; is yellow flower may change to wltite or red but never to blue; and white flower; which have a tendency to produce red will never sport though they will to yellow; rose for example.

Among the many astonishing features of Indian vegetation. the sacred fig of the Hindus is the most curious in that its branches bend to the ground. take root. and thus form separate trees.

Milton believed that grew in the Garden of Eden and that our first parents made them- selves clothes from its enormous leaves. He correctly describes the amazing sacred fig in the follow- ing verse:

"Soon they chose The fig-tree: not that kind for fruit renouned-

The Birthday Murder

By Lange Lewis CHAPTER. TWENTY-THREE

Part Two

"Im ttot in," said practice Saxc. coolly. Tuck thought that he saw color in her cheeks. however. a luster of suppressed excitement. There was also. as she settled back in her chair, an air of disappoint- ment in her pose. she .sat back limply. and quite unconsciously she sighed. He felt an intruder. watching her. For a moment her attention was turned inward on some troubling private matter, the same worry. be guessed which had put. the dark circles below her eyes. She turned her head and locked down at the little Dresden shepherdess offering the pink roses in her skirt. A peculiar in- tensity came into her look, as though she were seeing more than the figurine.

Tuck said: "One final question. when you saw Mrs Hime shortly befdrc her husband came home. did she say anything that would lead you to believe there had been trottble between them? was she

upset, ab.stt'aeted'."' Bernice looked straight at him and for the first time her eyes

were without their girlish spark- le. They looked dca-l and old. "Oh. no. she was in high spirits. She had just leartted that her first play llild been taken for Broadway

production."

”Did Mus. Hlmc ever say any-, thing to you about Moira l-fast-' ings?" l

"Albert's little p--otezee? Have. yfill seen her? I never have. She's- utvfully pretty, isn't she? Blonde?"'

All Tuck went down the cement wnlk, deep in thought. the air felt different on his head. and lie found that he had forgotten his loan. He returned and rang the bell: the somewhat mim house- keeper opened the door at once. He picked up his not from the tzild-ed console table beside the door and as he did so heard Ber- niec's tiny. light voice call from the living room: ”0h, Mrs. Buxton. You'd better get. out the dustpan.

I've broken the little Dresden shepherdess." y

A: Tuck clolcd the door after him Mrs. Bt;xton's voice camc troorlenly. "What a shame. Mr. Suxe always liked that piece so m'lCll."

lwith the idea of ltilizittg to the

thlrd and last of Mrs. Iiimc's visi- tors. Tuck set himself the task of finding Captain Hat-riss. since

he had apparently made the trip from wherever he was stationed in order to see his ex-wife. whom he had known to be living near Hollywood, he had undoubtedly :te.ved in Hollywood or near it. and unless he had visited friends a check of the hotels should turn him up.

Tuck's fourth pit-me tail brought results. Captain HaTl'IuS was re- gistered at the I-lollywoocl Roose- velt, on the Boulevard. He had gitten his address as Camp Rob- erts, which Tuck knew to be a basic training camp near San Luis Obispo. He was not in his room. Hanging up the phone. he re- flected that Captain i-tarrlss ytad come a long way to call on a wom- an he had not seen for ten years.

His mind veered tn Bernice Saxc. to her voice calling to the housekeeper about the breaking of the Dresden shepiterdess. He wondercd why that troubled him. Then he remembered the figur- ine had been standing in almost the center of the small table. it would be impossible to brush it off to the floor accidentally.
