How true are the words of Tennyson, "More things are wrought by pray- er than this world dreams of." Our Lord gave us a pattern for prayer. We too often glibly repeat it with- out entering into the spirit there- of, In this prayer we come in rev- erence as a child to his fattier. Yet it is not "my Father" but "our Father,' We belong to a great fa- ntily. Our first petition is not for self but for God's Kingdom. We ask forgiveness. recognizing our own obligation to forgive. The golden text is a decided challenge. The knock of importun- ity will procure for us all that we need. God can distinguish our needs from our wants. He will supply the former. Prayer is com- munion with God. In the last part of the lesson we have a glimpse of the prayer of in- tercession, Too many professed Christians never get past, "Lord, give me." But the growing Chris- tian is burdened for the welfare of others. Paul was such a man. He tired to serve, The world needs more intercessors: more people who can pray the fervent effectual pray- er in behalf of others. "Prayer is the soul's sincere de- sire, Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 0 thou, by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer thyself hast trod: Lard, teach us how to prayl" YOUR TURN NOW A club of eccentric young )nen had for one of their rules that on Tuesday evenings any man who ask- ed in the clubroom a question which he was unable to answer him- self should pay a fine of ten shill- ings. One evening Tomkinson ask- ed: "Why doesn't a ground squirrel leave any dirt around the top of his hole when he digs it?" After some deliberation he was called upon to answer his own ques- tion, "That's easy," he said. "The squirrel starts at the bottom and digs up." "All very nice," suggested a mem- ber, "but how does it get to the bottom?" "That's your question." answered Tomkinson. UNBLESSED EVENT "Henry, darling," she murmured. "I hardly know how to tell you, but—soon—soon—there will he a third sharing our little love -nest," "Sweetheart," he (Tied, "are you certain?"

A Box That Changed A Whole Industry \ nlali boy named Edward poked his nose over the edge of the apothcr ry's counter and demanded imperu.ssly to be shown what was in the mahogany box dying there. The chemist ignored hint. With a tine disregard for the fitness of things, Edward hitched himself up on tiptoe. then pushed up the Mug - ed cover. No Pandora has ever opened a mysterious box with more profound effect upon the future of an art than sexen-year-old Edward, exploring the faseinatiOns of that small magneto -electric toy. The year was 1857: the chemist's shop was in the English midland town of Wolverhampton. The boy was Edward Weston, t5110 grew up to become the pioneer in the science of electrical measure- ment. Inside the box was fastened a bright red magnet in the familiar 1. -shape. A double bobbin of copper wire was mounted on a shaft next to it and fixed to turn with a crank from outside the case. Through a pair of brass brushes the voltage, generated by cranking was led to two metal cylinders on long flexible wires. The little investigator finger - cd the apparatus with his mouth pulled tight in a characteristic frown of concentration. Presently the chemist finished with a custom- er and came over to him, "Suppose you hold these in your two hands," he said, with a twinkle. Edward looked at him carefully, then picked up the cylinders. "Grasp them tightly, now," said the chemist, "and I will show you something funny." He seized the crank and ground it vigorously. The boy let out a yell -as the dart- ing currents pricked his wrists and arms.Then the yell merged into a whoop of delight. Edward danced tip and down, "Do it some more! Do it some more!„ he demanded. Something like eighty years later, Edward Weston's son, Edward Faraday, traveled to England for the purpose of filling in the mys- terious blanks in his father's gen- ealogy. At Oswestry he found nothing but the house itself, which w'as still a farm -house, a".d occupied by a city man who had turned the place into a country !tome. His father's birthplace had changed scarcely at all in a century. But there was a_ nighty growth in the art of appl ed electricity, in which Ile had had a major ]laud.—Front "A Measure for Greatness" by David O. \Voodbury.

Heroic Pooch—Eight-year-old Samuel Lehman owes his life to "Fatima,' a Seeing -Eye dog belonging to his mother, Mrs. Robert S. Lehman.

Gwmndottne P. Clo,olce The other day farmer called me out<lde, "Listen," he said. I lis- tet'id. \\'hat I heard was something Ike the whirring of machinery. ' "What on earth " I began. 'Watch the oak tree," said Partner. So I watched. Soots I noticed tb.e tree was absolutely alive with star- lings—turd they. of course, were responsible for all the noise. A lit- tle ierther away another tree had also apparently been selected as a meeting place and the birds began flying, hack and forth from one tree to another. I never saw so many starlings in all my life—and come to think 01 it, it was the day after the smoke haze had cleared away, so maybe even the starlings got somewhat confused. We are also thinking the smoke was indirectly responsible for the sudden arrival of the lovely autum,t colours, The smoke prevented the sun's rays from reaching the earth so we got cold weather and frost and that autontat'cally decked out the trees for us in colours, of red and gold. Logical, isn't it? What- ever the reason the country is really beautiful . , . it would he Eire to drive for miles and mites through wooded country t.lthough actually that is hardly necesst.ry for es because we have .scenery within a len-m.le radius of home that would certainly be hard to beat. This has been a busy week and even now I have hardly got my bearings, as it were, I was away from home for two days and im- mediately afterwards came our local fair—also daughter and a friend arrived from 'Toronto, It was a wonderful clay for the fair and front all accounts it gets bigger and better every year—which speaks well for the Fair board responsible for the complicated business of or- ganizing the show. Unfortunately for me, by that time I was slightly under the weather and so was not able to go , , . and I did so want to see the Women's Institute exhi- bits, However, even if I did not get to the Fair 1 was compensated to a certain extent by a caller who arrived while I was alone with a huge armful of gladioli. Most of theut I put in tall containers but one stalk I used as an experiment, 1 breaking off the blooms and ar- ranging tltem in a bed of foliage as the florist had shown us in her demonstration the week before. The result was very effective. Well, well—again the retain worry with housewives seems to be flies. Flies that had taken to their winter quarters have now come out of hiding to bask in the bright warm sun. Anti now they are out they are so stupid all they can do is flop around and buz until they pretty nearly drive you crazy. So we have flies in the house, and if we go out- side to escape then) we are imme- diately confronted with a cloud of gnats. As for cobwebs—it just seems that spiders you don't even see spin webs while you'wait either indoors or out, So it looks as if everything that creeps, crawls or flies i5 out to enjoy our Indian sum- mer, Oh yes, it is certainly grand weather but already fanners are beginning to look anxiously for rain, Never satisfied, are we? But after all, when you have spent days and days working up a field, and have bought fertilizer and sowed your wheat, you do hope for a little co-operation frons the weatherman, - don't you? But if things are not going your way you can forget your worries for. a while if you have something interesting to read. That is what I was doing last wreck—digging into a very interest- ing book where I learnt some sur- prising things. It was "Life Among • The Doctors" by Paul De I'lruif and I was particularly interested in a chapter describing the research work of Dr. Alvin F. Coburn—a Naval M.O. in the L,S,A,—in con- nection with rheumatic fever. Ap- parently research has brought to 1'ght a strange fact—that while all sore throats do not develop into rheumatic fever, yet all cases of rheumatic fever that were investi- gated revealed that there had been a certain type of sore throat before- hand. Then it would clear up and for two' weeks the patient would show no sign of sickness. Then a sudden flare-up and he would be down with rheumatic fever. Dr. Co- burn began experimenting with diet and it was found that patients given as much as 8 egg -yolks a day fol- lowing the sore throat did not de- velop the fever. The next move was to discover what there was in egg -yolk that prevented infection. Research was well under way, sup- ported by the Kellog Foundation, when it was suddenly withdrawn. Dr. Coburn could not carry on without money so, unless there have been discoveries since this book was written the riddle of the egg -yolk is still unsolved. But there is nothing to stop anyone with a sore throat eating egg-yolks—they. couldn't do nearly as touch harm as )night be caused by swallowing a . whole lot of patent medicine, ' OBLIGING A young teacher. temporarily without a school, substituted for a friend who was on her honeymoon. A few weeks later the newly- weds and the teacher friend were at the same party and the hostess started to introduce the groom to the wife's friend, "Oh," he interrupted brightly, "I know Miss Rose very well. In facts she substituted for my wife on our honeymoon!" W S yg' f ' loan.ttom e'�.

THEY GET PAID FOP, GOING TO THE DOGS The authorities of the Northern Teritory of Australia have just paid 1', H. Allen attd D. Blyth $30,000 apiece for going to the dug•, They are professional dingo (wild dog) destroyer's, and their average bag is 50-100 a week. They are paid a basic wage of $40 a week, ten dol- lars camping allowance, and 55 for each skin they bring in, for no claims are allowed unless 000)0 part of the animal is produced. For theta the job is not difficult, but for the average city dweller it would be impossible. Dingoes worry sheep and cattle, and each year kill or maim tens of thousands. They are extremely cunning, and if they know that a hunter is On their trail they evade him. But these two men have been schooled in every trick the dingo can produce. As the dingoes roam over a wide area, traps and gins are useless, and the only way to exter- minate then) is by tracking theta down and shooting—often at night when the animals are moving fast. Thus, both Allen and Blyth have to be marksmen of a high order. And the RELIEF IS LASTING For fast, prolonged relief front headache get ;NsrnxrtNE.
