A, Galbraith, and was taken from Matthew 25: 31-46, the parable of “The Great Surprise.” Mrs, Gal braith read a very fine article on this lovely parable in which it was'said: “Inasmuch as ye have done it onto the least of these ye have done it un to Me.” This was followed by a hymn and prayer by Mrs. E. Wilkinson, and the Lord’s Prayer in unison. The study book was continued by Miss Marion Simpson, and dealt with the work carried on by the W, M. $. and the Home Mission Board of the United Church among the underpriv ileged people in the slum areas of our larger cities, Geo.

P. U, On Tuesday; evening of the young people of the Baptist Church had a very enjoyable time when forty of them motored to Listowel. Thgre they attended a ser vice in the Baptist Church where the McMaster Band of McMaster Uni versity, Hamilton, was holding a week of special meetings. Held Empire Day Services Empire Day services in honour of the visit of Their Majesties to Canada were held in St. Paul’s Church Sun day. Special hymns published for the occasion were ..sung and the rector in the morning -.spoke of “The Royalty of Service” and in the evening of “The Desire of the Empire.” It is no new idea tljat the King should be the first and greatest servant of the peo ple. King George and Queen Eliza beth sacrificed much which they hold dear when tthey ascended “the awful throne he has inherited”, the freedom to live their own lives, and that oc casional freedom from all responsibil ity which gives true relish to a holi day. The British people alone solved the problem 'of constitutional monar chy, of respect for the hereditary head of a freely chosen executive, of loyal ty to a sovereign who is above class and party. It is our national vocation to vindicate the principles she has maintained in a world that is in some danger of distrusting and deserting them. board in the kitchen. Not trusting anyone but herself with such a prec ious load, she would wipe them off so carefully ■ . , und then set them down on the kitchen table for a last admir ing glance before they were taken off to the dim recesses of the fruit cellar. Even in the cellar they were hid away behind other empty sealers ... or packed away in a special box by them selves. Pineapples were the prime delicacy of the Osifer home. About the time when we had almost forgotten them, the clergyman would come or some such local notable rating something special. Beaming with pride Mother would bring one of the pint sealers from full, wait were point on the banister of the hall stair way that looked in over the dining room we would watch carefully to see how the pineapples were coming along. Mother would keep her eye§ glued on the visitor, and when he tasted the first spoonful and said, “My, those are simply delicious,” she would beam with pleasure. If he took a second helping, we , would feel our hearts turning cold with apprehension, Will there be any left? Dad would eat his up and time after time, I would see him turn as if to ask Mother for more and then seeing threet round, anxious faces peering in at him, stop and dir ect some remark to the visitor. Those were the nights too, when they seem ed to neve^ leave the table *to go in the front sitting-room. . Just as soon as they started to say grace, we would duck back out to the kitchen and poise ready to dash in and eat our meal. How we hurried with that meal! And then Mother, having seen the visitor and Father safely off on a discussion of politics or religion or the weather, would come back out to dole out the remainder of the pine apples to us. What a grand feeling it was to have pineapples for dessert? Sometimes the lowly rhubarb was dressed Up with pineapples, just to make them last longer. But they nev er could compare with pineapples alone. And how. the scene changes! Now it’s a case of pineapples, and all the old fascination seems to have gone from them. But still, when Mrs. Phil asks me sometimes if I would like pineapples for dessert, I forget myself and say . . . “Oh, you better save them.” I forget that we canned a case of them, in place of three or four that had been carefully doled out on state occasions for a whole win ter.

It is flanked, top and bottom, by the Com pany's name, the date of issue, and the points to which distribution is made, Four pages have been added to the alphabetical section of the current dir ectory, making a total of 40 pages, while the classified section contains 4 pages, Mip Hamilton added.

About 2,100 of these new, and revised listings are in the white pages of the alpha betical listings, showing subscribers’ names, addresses, and telephone num bers. The remaining changes appear in the Yellow pages of the classified section, “The need for carefully consulting the new directory before placing calls, in is order to avoid ‘wrong numbers', obvious," Mr. Hamilton concluded. A MOTHER’S LOVE t . Lonely and sad in her cottage room, A mother sat one day; Her sky was dark" and all was gloom, Her joy had flown away. Her prayer went .up to God above, The prayer of a broken heart; The prayer of a gentle mother’s love, And tears from her eyes did start. Now what was the cause of her grief most sore, The cause of all her gloom; Of this most heavy cross she bore, Which was bearing her to her tomb? PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS -------------1 By Harry J. Boyle Her only son, her darling boy, Was treading the downward way; The boy who was once'her pride and ^ioy, Was roaming in sin to-day. "SPECIAL FRUIT’’ There is nothing new in the state ment, “My how the world changes.” I did have the truth of that statement brought to my mind rather forcibly today however, when I was going down to the village. Mrs. Phil hailed ih- of of Jn a public house, in a gambling den He often could be found; In the'company of degraded men; With naught but vice around. me on the way up the lane, with structions, to bring home a case pineapples. Yes, a whole case them , . . eighteen in all! As the car chugged along to the village, I kept thinking about those pineapples. I. remember as a boy, what’ an event the purchase of three or four of them would be, Mother would wait anxiously, until such time as she believed the fruit to be at its best. Then out of a small hoard of nickels and dimes saved from the cream money, she would buy the pines. How religiously she guarded them! They were cut up in small dices, and one slice was kept for the boys. It was cut up in the required number of pieces and that was our share of the spoil. How delicious they were, and we knew that they were just the pro per kind because Mother had pulled at the leaves, or feathers. asfwe tail ed dhem, in the store, to pick the ones that were ripe enough. With a syrup of sugar and water they were boiled arid cooked enough, Then in small pint jars, they were preserved and allowed to stand for several days upside down op the side* “Oh, Lord,” she cried, “now save my boy, My darling only son; Make him again my pride and joy, Forgive the wrong he has done. That day her son was Carried in, In through the cottage door; His face, it showed more signs of pain . Than it ever showed before. He was put to bed and’ there he lay For days nigh the gates of death; But his mother, she ne’er forgot that day, Till ended life’s fleeting breath, But he was restored to health again, And his mother’s heart was glad, For no longer did he cause her paid, He was a different lad.

The ELECTRIC FENCE (Experimental Farms News) A'small amount of. persuasion may accomplish much. This is illustrated by the reaction of live stock to the electric fence, states J. M. Armstrong, Field Husbandry Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The feeble and harmless spark from a six- volt battery operated fence unit ap pears to affect their feelings. Their first reaction is one of bewilderment and then respect. To learn the value of this type of fence, two different makes of battery-operated fence units were placed in operation on the Cen tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, in May of 1938. Both units have proved satisfactory for temporary fencing for hogs, dairy cattle and horses. An electric fence line may consist of one strand of barbed wire or smooth 12 gauge galvanized wire at tacked with inexpensive insulators to posts or pickets spaced 26 to 86 feet apart depending on the level of the land and the class of stock . The elec tric fence unit is grounded and attach ed to the insulated fence line. The unit consists essentially of a six-volt battery, interrupter, condenser and coil or transformer which transmits a harmless but effective electric current to the fence line, 46 to 60' times each minute. The chief advantage of electric fence<is its low cost of construction which may be up to 76% less than the construction cost of a four strand barbed wire fence. One battery-op erated fence unit will.operate at least 5 miles of properly constructed fence. The initial cost of the unit may vary from about $15 to $75.
