Where SWAMI Come
To Breakfast
The houseboat ,rocics gently as
the morning breeze freshens. Little
waves gargle along the side, with
the soft tinkle of a stream over
stones. You wonder sleepily if the
houseboat has sprung a leak in the
night, because the sound seems to
come froth beneath your bunk. But
the feel of the dry floor reassures
you. -and you dress quickly with one
eye on the plumb line swinging
against the wall to see how much
the boat is rocking—and deciding
whether it is going to be a windy
day or aot, Time for breakfast and,
if you are not impatient for it, the
swans are.
Here they come, the whole famtly
of six, \dill that peculiar surging
motion that swans make when they
are in hurry. It must be eight
o'clock. Yes — there are the chimes
from the belfries and towers of Ox-
ford, floating sweetly over Port
Meadow to the elm -shaded reach
of the Thames where the boats are
moored, writes George Ellidge in
The Christian Science Monitor.
The swans have come for their
brealcfast. They don't waste any
time and, if the windows of the
Caterpillar are closed, then they
try the Tigris a little farther down-
stream. The Caterpillar's long black
hull shows that it was once a canal
boat; the Tigris is an old Admiralty
launch, and that yellow, red and
green Noah's Ark moored down-
streant was once a ship's lifeboat.
But the swans are not interested in
the origin of this odd assortment of
gloating homes; and inmatiently,
-.0.440-1 much craning of meth, they
w,it for someone to l+pr, a window.
.Al the fast crack of a window
catch they make .clantorons rush
to the spin, half swimming, half
flying, wings and feet thraihing the
water to bobbling foam, and set op
a hissing and cackling •that makes
you think the boat is beingtattacked.
And all for a few bits of bread
from the bottom of 'the bread -bin.
As you open •the nvindow, decking

scarcely amudged with 'the rem-
nants of fledgling brown. Six white
necks writhe 'like angry snakes as
the crusts are 'literally shaken down
their throats. 'Before you have fin-
ished dusting the 'crumbs off your
palms, the water is clear again.
Without a glance they turn and

start their 'commotion at •the Tigris.

Jesus' Teachings On The
Judgment
Mark 13:1-2, 28-37.
Golden Text: Take heed, watch
and pray; fur ye know not when the
time is.—Mark 13:33.
In the final week of His ministry
our Lord spoke more particularly of ,
events to come, He foretold the de-
struction of the beautiful temple.
'There shall not be left one stone
upon another, that shall not be
thrown down." Forty years later
this prediction VMS literally
So enraged was the Roman general,
Titus, at the stubborn resistance of
the Jews that he ordered the temple
to be fired. The melted gold ran
down between the foundation stones.
The Roman soldiers in their quest
for the gold saw to it that not one
stone was left upon another.
The destruction of Jerusalem was
a judgment of the Jews. But Jesus
taught the judgment of all nations.
He himse'f will return and reward
every man according to his works.
Them are various views with re-
spect to the exact order of events
connected with the return of our
Savior. In regard to some details it
is better not to be too dogmatic. But
our individual responsibility is strik-
ingly clear. We have a work to do.
At an hour now unknown to any on
earth, our Lord will return and take
account of our conduct. We are
therefore to be in life in constant
readiness for His appearing, for on
His approval depends our eternal
happiness. Let us therefore pattern
our lives after the Bible standard,
tanning front sin and trusting in
Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
The life of faith will be characterized
by works of faith,
There wil: be no frustration of the
'course of justice at the final judg-
ment, He who wills non' to be our
Savior will then be our judge. He
will not judge merely by appearance
hut will judge the secrets of men's
hearts. How carefully and prayer-
ful'y ought we to live!

Best Seller For

Pour hundred years and still a
best seller is quite a record. That
record will have been made on June

Book of Common Prayer. This book
was first pubished "at ye signe of

1549. Since then, hundreds of edi-

speaking lands.. When few could
read, the language of the Prayer
Book was heard, week by week, by
multitudes of simple folk, and the
dignified and euphonious phrases of
that book entered the common
speech of the people. We owe dozens
of fine expressions, in frequent use,
to the Book of Common Prayer. The
Prayer Book is largely in the Ian;
guage of Archbishop Cranmcr and
of Bishop Coverdale. ' • -- 7
Th f English of the Prayer,Book is
of the Golden Age of our language.
A }Mildred and fifty years later, in
the reign of William and Mary, a ,
revision was prepared which for-
ttmately did cot. win approval. It is
1101V lost on the dusty shelves of
co etre libraries. A long-winded per-
iod of English writing had begun.
Long sentences with dependent.
clauses,. long ords derived from
the Latin, replaced the vigorous
Anglo-Saxon words, and the short
of the English of the
Golden Age. William and Mary's re-
visers took Cranmer's perfect Col-
lects and puffed then( out with pidtis
platitudes. But, thank God, this re-
vision was never accepted. English
speaking folk did not have their clic-
nog spoiled by listening, Sunday by
Sunday in the House of God, to such
bombast.
The language of the Book of
Common Prayer has a wonderful
rhythm and euphony which makes it
delightful to read or to heal. It is
full of lovely phrases quite, peculiar
to itself. "'We bring our yarn fo an
end, as it were a tale that is told";
"We have erred and ,igtrayed. from !-
thy ways like lost sheep"; ''That
peace which the word cahnot..give•--;
"Pass our time in rest anti:quiet:.
ness"; "Show forth they praise, not
- only, with our lips, hat jn 9ur lives1
A«cl;
ue sense of all Thy me cies.'"'
Some have criticized these supposed
redundancies of the Prayer 'Hook,
such as "rest and quietness," '"erred'
and strayed," but these not only
provide rhythm, they als,a1 ser -(re a
real purpose in corporate worship.
They give our stocv minds time go

We must surely be "by the gods
beloved" because every time we 'ar-
range to have a meeting here it is
a nice day—and often a nice day
sandwiched in between rough or
stormy weather: Last Thursday was
no exception—warm, bright sun-
shine all day—even warm,enoughto
bring a few daffodils out in bloom
so that I was able to have spring
flowers.,in the bouse. All this cheeri-
ness was very 'acceptable as our
little get-together happened to be
the annual meeting of our local
Womed's Institute. Everybody
knows what a headache an annual
"meeting is at times, and how •often
it is dreaded. But there was no need
to dread this one—everyone was so
agreeable, and willing, and co-oper-
ative only once did we hear that
little word "no" after a nomination
had been moved, and it was excus-
able. I was really, ,proud of our
branch. So here we are, ready to
launch out on another year of ser-
vice for Home and Country—just
like other -branches' all, over the
province. .
The day after_our meeting it was
'cold and wet—and then turned to
snow. So you see why I think we

the Institute that was lucky.

may even be a newcomer to Can-

of pantile in your district that you
have never met; customs you have
never heard about—and the best
place to find out about both is to

But perhaps there isn't a Women's

That is an obstacle easily overcome.
If there isn't one, start one. There

But don't let that discourage you
