Tern is a stupris.mg similarity of

countries where it grows. Certain
students of the subject have believ-

that distribution, effected through
winds, h:rds and sailing vessels,
has given it a universal habitation,

this a very fine one, although per.
baps time quantities are a little too
great for many families. The yield

more moderate variety. However,
it is easy to cut down on the quan-

this is too much to handle,

throughout the entire cake. Keeps
moist too. Quantities given yield

Easy To Make
Colorful Tags
Baggage tags of various sizes
with string attached, which may be
bought inexpensively, are not only
useful in the ]rouse in many ways
but can be made decorative for
special occasions.
With little scenes painted on theist
in bright colours they may be tied
on the branches of a Christmas tree
for a lovely effect. If children want
to decorate some, let theist use cray-
ons to snake designs or write appro-
priate greetings on them. The
lower end of a tag may be cut
like a star, a tree, or a Santa Claus,
and the upper part of the figure
drawn and painted on the tag itself.
Gold stars pasted on small tags
and hung on the tree with red rib-
bons may be the children's work.
The tags may be cut int., a variety
of shapes and used, not only on a
tree ,but for narking packages.
As an amusing feature of a party
the tags have many possibilities.
They can be cut and coloured to
suit all occasions, and 3 •onform
to any season or place. A dozen or
, more tied together and attached to
a big decorated tag might hold the
names of guests at a shower and
be hung over a table.
Children would enjoy surprise .
tags hung oh their chairs with their
names printed on the front of the
tag and verses on the back, as place
cards, at a party. Guessing games
might be fust, if half a name, part
of a cartoon, or funny verse were
written or drawn on a tag tied
around a player's wrist until some-
one was found wearing the other
half and they paired off.

UXDAY SCIOOL
LESSON
By Rev. R. B. Warren, BA., B.D,
The Stewardship of Life
Romans 12:1-2, 6-8; 11 Corinthians
8:3-5; Philippians 2:25-30.
Memory Verse: I beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mer-
cies of God. that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, ac-
ceptable unto God, wlticit is your
reasonable service. Romans 12:1,
Last Stutday the question was
"What Shall I Do With Ily Mon-
ey?" 'Today the question is "What
Shall I Do With Myself?" If we
enter into that life of consecration
depicted by the memory verse, then
God will have our money, our all.
Alas, too few know the joy of
living a life completely dedicated
to God. 1Ve have the mistaken
notion that such is the course only
of those in the ministry. But God
has called us all to minister in
some way, great or small. Only
as you give yourself will you realize
the talents you have that can be
used in one tv'ay or another in ser-
ving the Kingdom of God. Paul
cites the ease of the abundant giv-
ing of the people of Macedonia.
The secret of it was that they first
gave their own slaves to the Lord.
He refers also to Epaphroditus who
lived to serve, "For the work of
Christ he was nigh unto death, not
regarding his life." May the senti-
ment of this song be ours:-
"What
urs:"What shall I give Thee, Master?
Giver of gifts divine!
I will not hold, time talents or
gold -
For everything shall be Thine.
Chorus:-
Jesus,
horus:Jesus, my Lord and Saviour;
Thou hast giv'n all for me;
Thou didst leave Thy home above
To die on Calvary.
What shall I give Thee, Master?
Thou hast giv'n all for me;
Not just a part or half of my
heart;
I will give all to Thee."

This is an adaptation of one of a series of
advertisements designed by The house of
Seagram to promote the prestige of Canada
and help sell Canadian products to the markets
of the world.
The campaign is appearing in magazines and
newspapers published in various languages and
circulated throughout the world.
The peoples 'of many lands are
told about the quality of Cana-
dian products and see Canadian
scenes illustrating these products.
The advertisements ' are in
keeping waith the belief of The
Rouse of Seagram that the future
of every business enterprise in
Canada is inextricably bound up•
in the future of Canada itself; and that it is in
the interest of every Canadian manufacturer
to help the sale of all Canadian products in
foreign markets.
ri campaign such as this not only helps Canadian
industries but also puts stoney in
the pocket of every Canadian, citizen..
One dollar of every three we earn
r3 conies to us as a result of foreign.

the more prosperous we will be
at home. It. is 'wi.th this objective
that these advertisements are being
produced and published through.
