Christmas Flowers a Lovely LadyBETHLEHEM STAR LOOKS DOWN Oh, some there are who like to roam by land and air and sea; But others love ito have a home where . they may happy be. They do not choose to wander -forth from Aklavik to Rome, Or sup with Lamas in Tibet tor seek for gold at Nome. Their aspirations simple are: To do what good they’can, And.try to live in perfect peace with every fellow-man. They love the utmost good in life, the { evil they deplore; And, more than all, they hate the greed of those who live by war : Who strive to take by force of arms ■ -the flocks their neighbors own, And, being fools, they reap the tares they have in blindness sown. They make of life an evil thing, and human woes increase, They cast aside thg golden rule of One who taught them peace. And that is why at Christmas time we celebrate-His birth; And gather with our dear ones ’round the hea'rth-stones of the earth. We give to others our good gifts, like wise men did of old,"' Who brought to lowly Bethlehem myrrh, frankincense and gold. And this tradition shall remain, and wars-.of conquest c.ease, For, wise men shall in unity uphold ■ the cause of peace. 1 The Star of Bethlehem looks down in Sorrow—as it must— Where home and hallowed edifice lies smashed to crumbling dust; Where beauty of the earth is marred and sp.lit in (twain—for what? That Might shall be the law of life, as tyrants ever taught.. But faithful hosts are pressing foresworn to bring release, valiant army bringing Hope, army bringing—Peace.

WOMEN’S INSTITUTE CONTINUE GOOD WORK In the course of a year very little is heard that is spectacular of the Wo-, men's Institute, Yet this organization from coast to coast continuously car­ ries on a most useful work. The lat­ est effort by these valiant groups is the raising of money, $3,000,00,-to fur­ nish a thirty-two-bed ward in a Can­ adian army hospital in Great Britain. Each member of the Institute is be­ ing asked to-contribute what she can, whether it be little or much. Mrs. W. B. Leatherdale, Coldwater, Ont., sec­ retary-treasurer of the Federated Wo­ men’s Institute of Ontario, is in charge of the collection. The Wo­ men’s Institutes have given splendid support to the Red Cross and other patriotic organizations. Equipping this ward is an extra activity. Recent­ ly the Red Cross forwarded 54,000 pounds of jam to Britain and another 54,000 pounds will follow shortly. This jam, for the most part, was put. up by Women's Institute members in On­ tario, the cans are supplied by the Red Cross. The Institute, despite all this War effort, are continuing with the work that they have been carry­ ing on for years. We can be justly proud that Can­ ada has a women’s institution which has such a fine patriotic spirit, an in­ stitution which, whether we are at •peace or war, is making/its usefulness felt throughout the country. • GET SOtUND ADVICE . During the past year we have ported ill out columns several cases where stock salesmen have .been found guilty of fraud. Many -people have been “stung”, to use a slang ex­ pression, by these' men, sometimes ladies, who travel about the country looking for victims. The surprising part of this story-js the large- number that fall under their spell. As a rule these people are very clever and have a very persuasive flow of language. Beware of the silver-tongued strang­ er who is ready to sell you a stock or bond on which you can make large profits oY about which you know little or nothing. Expert advice may be had for the asking so why risk your savings needlessly. When you have money to invest, see your banker or a broker who ybu know is honest and trustworthy.
