Antipathies And Preferences
A famous psychologist said .re
cently: “The most difficult of all
sciences is the adjustment of
human relationships.” That is to
say; the hardest lesson we have
to learn is how to get along
with other people.* *
Life is like walking along a
highway. 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

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

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
