struggling to stay on the right
path contributes her bitter experi-
ence, in the hope it will help others
who are tempted:
"At a shock-
ingly young age,
I started run-
ing around. In a
year I had lost
my reputation.
Then I felt it
was impossible
to start life over,
so I continued
down the wrong
road until my name was known all
over town.
"Something happened to me a
few months ago that made me see
things in a new light. I shall not
describe it, but only say that my

PRAYER OPENED THE WAY .
"I felt so desperately at a loss
that I began to pray—out of a heart
that had long been too proud to
recognize the Ten Commandments.
I did not pray in vain. If one who
has lost hope will lift her heart
in prayer, she will find the answer
to a new life,
"Disregard men who condemn
you. They accuse you of what
they've been guilty of, ten times
over. Only God stands by.
"Many times in the future I will
meet people who know my past.
Somehow, I am no longer concern-
ed about *hat they think or say. I
know if I keep on having courage,
God will be my friend,
"May I add a word to the girls
and boys who have been lucky
enough not to have made serious
mistakes so far? Don't play with
fire. It's a losing game. Save your
love for the man or woman you
marry, for one you will be proud to
have as the father or mother of
your children.
"To those who are quick to judge
others—especially girls—who are
you to judge? Don't add to the
sadness that weighs thein down.
Say something helpful—or at least
say nothing, but whisper a prayer
for them,
"And of those kind people who -
read this column, I ask your prayers
—for me, and all the Other girls
who are struggling to stay on the
straight and narrow path."

Watch a fanner as he walks
across his fields on a sunny after-
noon. He pauses and scuffs the soil
with itis heel. He crouches down
and picks up a handful. He rubs it,
feeling the fine roots lacing through
it. He snakes a ball of it, a miniature
earth, There in lois hand Ile holds

EXTRA TURN
Arriving early at the theatre in
a small town, a girl excused her-
self and slipped out of her seat to
go and fix her snake -up.
She had difficulty in locating the
cloakroom but eventually entered
a large roost, furnished in the old
Victorian style. There was no one
about except a maid dusting a
chair. Carefully she restored her
make-up, adjusted her hair and
straightened the seams of her stock-
ings. Then she hurriedly worked
her way back through the passages
to her seat and sat down beside
her escort. The play had started.
"How did it „begin?" site whis-
pered to her boy friend,
"You should know," was the
terse reply. "You were in it."

There are so many things to think
about these days itis hard to con-
centrate on any one subject for
very long at a time, The weather is
had enough and then comes all this
talk about frozen milk prices and
dairy delivery sten who insist on
higher wages or else , . , Before
we can get that straightened out
in our minds we start wondering
if the U.N. Forces will cross the
38th Parallel . , and then what?
Then our sympathy is aroused for
the poor people in the prairie pro-
vinces at present hi the grip of a
paralysing blizzard. We know,
front personal experience, what a
prairie storm can be like. And, of
cotnse, we wonder what the weath-
erman itas in store for us in On-
tario. But in the middle of all this
along conies St. Patrick's Day. And
you know, there is something about
St, Patrick's Day—a sort of 'irre-
sistible charm. We speak of the
"lucks of the Irish" but maybe luck
is the outcome of a never -say -die
disposition—an attitude towards life.
Be that as it may it is cheering to
listen to the lovely old Irish melo-
dies—th:re is a lift and a lilt to
131041 of them that is good for the
soul. Funny thing about the Irish
we hear them spoken of as
being hot-headed' ;Ind fanatical, and
sometimes other ttncornplimentary
things, but yet everyone who has
a drop of Trish blood in his veins
is proud to proclaim it. And I
among the atony, I have never set
foot on Irisin soil yet it's glad I
am to admit that my father was
an Irishman,
Well, I guess everyone is watch-
ing the mills situation with interest.
If a strike of delivery men does
uutt:erialize many city folk will be
shy of milk --and the farmers have
too much of it. Maybe the price
freeze was all right for a working
basis but why on milk only? Why
loot on bread?. A few weelcs ago
bread was boosted another cent
yet it hardly created a fipple. Go
clown town shopping, and upon my
word, the price jumps on some
things before you can get from
one end of the store to tate other.
Ansi yet retail sales are greater
now than they ever were, Nine
people out of then say they are
not making a decent living—yet
spending is on the increase, It just
doesn't make sense. Wonder how
it would be ff we had an "Economy
Week" along with. ail the other
special days and weeks we are now
supposed to observe. I don't ima-
gine it woulchbe too popular.
I was thinking only the other
day of an old proverb which says
"Cut your garment. according to
your cloth," Good advice—but we
don't do that any more—in fact,
just the opposite. We decide on the
garment we want, and the quan-
tity and quality of material required
and then by hook or by crook we
get the material necessary for the
garment of our choice—a method
which lacks the principle upon
which future prosperity is based.
It definitely isn't the principle
which guided the early pioneers
when they came to establish new
lloanes in Canada. But it still exists
among some of Lite ilewco111et•8 to
Canada.
A few days ago I visited at the
home of some New Canadians, The
house had a minimum of furniture
and there was very, little heat in
any of the r'oolns. Wroth their con-
versation I gathered the family
lived well but on plain, wholesome'
foot, There were very few toys
in evidence—but there. were plenty
of • children, and a happiir, health•
kr family in would be ham to
find. The children were also very
well behaved—no whining around
their another—"I want this, Mummy
, I want that!" That young
couple were, I am sure, "mathng'
their garment to fit the cloth," and
it is. my guess that in a few years
those same people will be making
a comfortable living and the chil-
dren will appreciate what they get
because they will have known what
it is not to have everything they
want directly they want it. Occa-
sionally there is some resentment
if new Canadians get ahead faster
than those who have been resident
in Canada for years—probably born
]sere. The reason for their success
is often easy to find. They are con-
tent to keep down their standard
of living until they can- afford some-
thing better. Surely they deserve
credit for so doing.
Well, just in case anyone is
interested, I managed to get out
one day to our Institute quilting.
And what a beautiful quilt it is
—pieced, and put together, and the
material donated to the Institute
by one of our members. When fin-
ished it will be sold, I believe it
is what is known. as the Sunburst
pattern --shaped, like a (segs eight -
pointed star and made up in dia-
mond shaped.blocics in lovely shades
of 'yellow, pink, blue and green on
a powder blue background.
Travel Light, Ladies,
And Enjoy Your Trip
Having recendl'eturned from a
22 months' trip into Africa and
Europe, and after' many previous
business trips to urope, I have
finally discovered that the wise
traveller is the one who travels
light, writes Lily E. Heffernan in
the Christian Science Monitor,
A small but well-chosen wardrobe
will make the trip much more
pleasant. Try it, Should porters be
scarce, you then Can cope with your
own luggage. I suggest one large
suitcase and an overnight size as
ample for all your needs.
To simplify the cosmetics situa-
tion, buy the new plastic bottles and
jars, also a plastic bag for soap
flflakes. It requires very little roost
and of course lightens the bag.
Your wardrobe should include
three or four suits. First choose
your basic colors, for instance, navy •
and brown, preferably a light sable
or cocoa brown. A third color must
be introduced, ,and I would sug-
gest red. Now let us see what we
can do.
Five changes are possible with
the following:
Navy wool -snit
Navy novelty skirt (navy back-
ground)
Navy and white skirt
Navy twin sweater set
White blouse, navy cotton cami-
sole top,
• Red belt
To the foregoing combination
add the possibility of rove more
changes:
Pale blue wool or Shantung suit
Blouse or sweater to match use
red belt with blue and brown)
Brot'io and blue -striped cotton
skirt
Brown and white pique camisole
or halter top
Four more changes are possible
by adding:
Beige or sable brown cotton or
linen suit, to be worn with
Camisole top from above, red
bdt
Beige print blouse. Also use blue
blouse from above and
Brown skirt from above
Two good, simple and dressy -
type afternoon dresses should be
included in the travel wardrobe,
plain color and a print, to be worn
with the same accessories.
If possible, a two-piece evening
gown, say, of lace, should go with
you, and if you can buy a print
skirt, then you can wear the lace
slcirt over the print and again you
can put the red belt to use. Be sure
the belt is a bit on the dressy side.
I had one that had heads all around
it. It was much admired and cer-
tainly onost useful,

LESSON
By Rev, R, A, Warren B.A. 13.17
THE BEGINNING OF SIN
Genesis 3;1-6, 9-15
Memory Selection:: For the wages
of sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jes:os Christ
Our Lord.
The origin of sin, historically,
antedates the human rape, jude
v, 6 refers to "the angels which
kept not their first estate." The
serpent's approach to ve set a pat-
tern which is followed by many
teachers today, "Yea," is the diplo-
matic affirmative. Then conies the
question to raise doubt, "if alb God
said?" Then carne the critical intim-
ation that no restraints should be
placed upon desire, "Ye shall not eat
of every tree of the garden." Eve
replied by saying they might eat of
all but one and "God hath said, ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye
touch it, lest ye die," Then came
the Satanic sneer, "Ye shall not
surely die," Many arc trapped by
such tactics today. Professing to be
friends of the Bible, false teachers
deliberately raise doubts and appeal
to man's desire for complete indul-
gence.
Eve made the mistake when she
listened to the Tempter. "Resist the
devil and he will flee front you."
(James 4:7). Then she looked at
the forbidden fruit. It appealed to
the desire of the flesh; it was good
to eat. It was pleasant to the eyes
and to be desired to stake one wise.
It appealed to the lust of the eye
and the pride of life, When Jesus
was thus tempted he answered tate
threefold appeal with verses of
Scripture. Eve took and ate and
gave to her husband,
Our first parents soon learned
that the Tempter was a deceiver.
Yes, they now knew good and evil
but they were ashamed and tried to
hide from God. Guilt was Olt them.
Adam blanked Eve and Eve blamed
the serpent but all were cursed. But
even in this hour of dark and fear-
ful tragedy, there was a glimmer of
light. The seed of the woman would
bruise the serpent's head, Pour
thousand years later, One would be
born of a virgin who would be able
to give sinful, fallen man, victory
over sin, That One is Jesus Christ
the Son of God. He triumphed over
all temptation to sin and over death,
hell and the grave. By repentance
of our sins and faith in this trium-
phant Saviour we may be forgiven
of our sins and cleansed from the
inward pollution. We may have vic-
tory
iatory now and evermore.
