We find others walk­ ing with us, for we cannot have the road to ourselves. .Further­ more, we cannot choose our fel­ low-travellers, therefore we must learn to tolerate them, to be amiable and look for the best in them. There is no doubt that certain personalities jar upon each other just as ’Certain plants ,are said to turn away from other plants. The mutual dislike is so in­ stinctive as to be unconscious. It is not to be wondered at that people whose temperaments and dispositions are totally dif­ ferent should find themselves at variance. Yet such feelings should not he allowed to de­ generate into bitterness. Travel­ lers say that in Polynesia, where the natives spend much of their time in fighting and feasting, it is customary for each man to keep alive .some reminders of Ills hatreds. Articles are suspend­ ed from the roofs of their huts in order to keep alive the mem­ ory , of their supposed wrongs. They are afraid that the bitter­ ness will die down so they keep hones, teeth and other objects before them, the .sight of which works them up into a frenzy of rage. Sometimes well-educated p e o p le In Christian countries have kept antipathies alive. The great German poet Henrich Hel- nie, kept a, "black list,” which contained the names of all, whom he believed had injured him at one time or another. It seems strange that a man so endowed with genius, could harbour such resentment. It is a terrible mistake to keep alive such bitter feelings as it is folly to dwell upon the deficiencies and shortcomings of other people. The happiest people In the world are those who ate ” 2-7 Ill Luck Hits Family Three Times In Two Weeks That accidents sometimes come in threes has been experienced by Mr. Clark Fisher and his family. On Sunday their son, Benny, while playing at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Harold Rowe, had the misfortune to fall, dislocating the left elbow, the elbow leaving the socket. He was taken to (St. Joseph’s Hos­ pital, London, for an X-ray, where it was revealed that a fraction of bone had ibeen chipped from the elbow and had lodged in the socket. Two weeks ago, Mr. Fisher dislocated his shoulder in a fall, and about a month ago, Yvonne, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Glenn Fisher, fractured a bone in her wrist. Leave For Florida Mr. and Mrs. Elmer D. Bell leave today (Thursday) for Flor­ ida and expect to return the latter part of next week.^ with Mr. and Mrs. C. S. MacNaugh- ton, who have 'been holidaying in the sunny clime. James Street W.A. The regular monthly meeting of the James .St. Willing Work­ ers’ Evening Auxiliary was held at the home of Mildred Thomson with the (president, Mildred Al­ lison, in charge. The meeting opened with a hymn followed by the Lord’s Prayer in unison. .The various secretaries gave their reports. Business was discussed and it was decided that the Auxiliary would pack a bale of used cloth­ ing at the March meeting. Ber­ nice Cann took charge of the program. The theme of .the meet­ ing was, “The Church, the Household of Faith.” A worship service was conducted by the leader, assisted by Mildred Al­ lison, Elva Coates and 'May Jones. Maxine Reeder sang a solo and Gwen Whilsmith gave a bibical reading.. Joan Thomson favoured with a piano solo. Chapter five of the Study Book, “Growing With The Years,” was taken by .Jean Pooley, Ella Link and Madeline Witmer. The meeting concluded with Hymn 387 and the Mizpah Bene­ diction. Lunch was served by the group in charge. Our quotation today is a say­ ing of Jesus: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Fathei’ which is in heaven.” quick to see the good qualities in others and .who are strong in appreciation. By this I do not mean an easy amiability, but a deep-seated conviction that people are invariably decent .and if given a chance will prove their true worth. Rev, John Watson once pub­ lished a .book of sermons en­ titled, “Respectable Sins.” It was a frank recognition of the facts that in the minds of most people there are two kinds of sins. There are sins which are not re­ spectable, a’nd for any man to commit them would bring swift and sure punishment, On the other hand, tile author contend­ ed, there are sins which men do not consider very serious, and which one might commit with­ out being thought any- the worse' of. (Such a sin is that of carrying an unforgiving spirit. Yet JesuS left no doubt ■whatever about the seriousness of it. That par­ able of the Unforgiving years has done nothing to heal that breach; the bitterness is as great as when the quarrel first took place. The leaders on both sides are officials of the church; they stay and partake of the Sacra­ ment of the Lord’s Supper, then go out into the street without speaking to each other, deter­ mined to keep the “fight up.” One can hardly expect God’s blessing on that church. That is a touching scene in Acts 9:17 when Ananias visited Saul. Saul had been hunting the Christians, persecuting t h e m, glad when they were cast into prison or put to death. News of his savage conduct had reached the Christians everywhere. But when he was stricken near Da­ mascus, and lay baffled and blinded, Ananias, the Christian, entered the house, and laying his hand on him said, “Brother Saul.” How Saul’s heart must have leaped at the sound of that Word! Norm Hockey Home At Last Mr. Norman H o c k e y, w h o underwent several operations in Victoria Hospital, London, re­ turned home Thursday and his friends are pleased to see him again. He is improving nicely. Fractures Wrist In Winnipeg Word lias 'been received in town that Mrs. Charles Birney, who is living with her daughter in Winnipeg, had the .misfortune to fall and fracture her left wrist. Don Dixon of Clandeboye was rushed to St, Joseph’s Hospital, London, Tuesday of last .week, suffering from a ruptured ap­ pendix, He is getting along fine following an operation. Hears Dizzy Trout And 18 Accordians At M.E. Banquet Mr. B. W. F. Beavers returned on Sunday from a week’s visit with Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Bea­ vers, Detroit. While there he at­ tended a "father and son” ban­ quet given by the American So­ ciety of Mecbanical Engineers on February 1, of which Lloyd is a member of the committee, Dizzy Trout, one of the pitchers of the Detroit 'ligers, was the after dinner speaker: Following this a program was given in the audi­ torium of the (Engineer’s build­ ing. The major part of the pro­ gram consisted of musical num­ bers given by an orchestra of eighteen accordians from the University of Michigan.
