Largo Economical Slip Trails And Nearly all the great railway lines of America follow very closely what were originally foot paths or narrow Indian trails, In most cases the trails have been entirely forgotten, no one ever gives them a thought, and massive engines now tear at ever increasing speeds over paths that once were cleared on land which offered sullen resistance, But the instinct which led the Indians or the early white settlers to map out their way between mountain ranges or over desert spaces was unerring and the trails have be­ come highways. The writer remembers that when he was a boy he watched sheep grazing on the heather- covered Cheviot Hills which aspe­ rate England and Scotland near the east coast There are long ranges of hills and fertile valleys b ej ween, and frequently the sheep wander from one valley over into another. One day in the springtime a sheep, a little more daring than its companions, would stray up the steep hillside, pushing aside the stubborn hea­ ther and bracken and leaving be­ hind just the semblance of a cleared pathway. Another and another would follow until a clearly marked passage had been made, and all during the long summer and fall when sheep wanted to cross the hill they used Jhat well-worn path. The old adage, “Your feet will follow your thoughts,” recently received conformation from a judge in a Canadian court, A prisoner had been found guilty of a crime and in an eloquent defense his lawyer pleaded that it was quite unpremeditated—it had been committed on the spur of the moment. “I do not believe that this crime was unpremediat­ ed,” said the judge. “Further­ more, I sometimes wonder whether any crime is. Wrongdo­ ing is almost always the result ""of a long course of wrong think­ ing. Men let their minds dwell on certain things and eventually they do them.” Over twenty years ago a curly- headed little lad his father play great American chestra. A lady family well told used to watch the cello in a symphony or- who knew the the writer that she would never forget the boys’s open-eyed adoration of his fa­ ther’s playing. After each concert he attended, the little fellow woud go back and with painful deliberation “S a w” over the strings of his instrument with his bow, But with the'passing of the years the dominant purpose even excels his father, as he plays with the confident ease of a master in that same orchestra. Now that we are thinking of musicians, who had not watched some musical genius -play with such perfect poise and confidence that we knew he had completely Highways there, 'We have asked ourselves whether there ever was a time ' when that master musician touch­ ed the piano keys with hesitation , and sometimes made mistakes. Of course there must have been such ■ a time, and aven the most gifted had to begin at the beginning. The trail has become a highway, but it was only a trail and no­ thing more. One of the most striking ex­ amples of spiritual growth is that of Moses. Fortunately when we think of him we remember his magnificent qualities of leader­ ship, his uncompromising stand on the side of whatever was right, He became a Matterhorn among men; lofty and noble in his spiritual grandeur. But let us go back a few years and remember from what he sprung. One -day, while Israel was in bondage, M'oses saw one of his blood being cruelly lashed by an Egyptian. His passion was aroused and, “Moses looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man he slew the Egyptian." When all allowance has been made for 'Moses, it still remains true that he committed an un­ worthy deed, and made it worse by burying the man’s body in the sand. As a result of this deed he was forced to fly to Midian where he remained for 40 years. One wonders what Moses thought of this’when many years later, in the days of spiritual growth, he led his people toward the promis­ ed land. Yet this was the same man, increditable though it seems. The hot-blooded passionate youth striking to kill and the self- effacing servant of God whose spiritual beauty all beheld, al­ though he himself, “wist not that his face shone," were one and the same. In spiritual ad­ vancement, the trail had become a highway. Our quotation today is a well- known saying: Sow a thought and you reap an act; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow habit and you reap character; sow character and you reap destiny.

FOR ONTARIOHANDS IN TRAINING THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) Learning Business Practice TN Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single A One of tis. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, producing goods and services which earn de food, clothing, medical care and other business machines, etc. are producing goods and services which earn dollars. These dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which contribute to our security and high standard of living. Every single one of us, therefore, has a very personal interest in the flow of a steady supply of trained workers to industrial plants. These workers will operate machines which are important to our way of life. We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government, industry and labour in the field of employee training. In schools and in factories our workers, young and old, ate given the opportunity to develop new and specific skills in every field of business and industrial activity. For instance, every effort on the part of office workers to become pro­ ficient in typing, filing, shorthand and secretarial* work, will mean greater business efficiency—will help to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and work. Our Way of Life Howards Trained Hands Ontario workers know they can earn more, have executive responsibility and enjoy a higher standard ofliving in direct ratio to the skills they ac­ quire and the way they make use of them. That’s always true in a free economy —that’s why our com­ petitive system will continue to make Canada great and a great place in Which to live. w
