'Ile thinks the world of our little

looked down on, all through life.
"But, I still love my husband, and
I feel I can't give him up.

2 Samuel 5:1-5; 8:15;
Chron. 22:17-19
Memory Selection: Ont thing
have I desired of the Lord, that will
I seek after; that 1 nxay dwell in
the hoose of the Lord all the days
of my life, to behold the beauty of
the Lord, and to inquire in his
temple, Psalm 27:4.
Samuel was the last of the judges.
Israel desired a Ling that she might
be. like the nations around about.
So Samuel, under God's guidance
anointed the first two kings, The
first one, Saul. is an example of
• those who take public office humbly
but later become proud and forget
God, Tragic is the 15010 ft he tittered
the night before he died on his OW0
sword. "God is departed front toe,
and answereth lne no more, neither
by prophets. nor by dreams."
David was of the tribe of Judah
and was made king by that tribe
following Saul's death, Seven and
a half years later lifter the assassin-
ation of Saul's son, the other tribes
invited David to he king over them.
He thus became ruler over the
whole kingdom. After thirty-three
years his son 'Solomon succeeded
to the throne. Under hint the king-
11oln reached its clima0 of prosperity
anti magnificence. 1'lle temple was
built in Jerusalem. Whereas David
had been a man of war, Solomon
enjoyed peace. However, Solomon's
many heathen wives led him away
from the worship of the true God
and the seeds of disintegration be-
gan to sprout, On his death the
leingdotttl was divided.
David, the shepherd who became
King and statesman was also a
poset and musician. Many of the
Psalms were written by him and
bring great comfort today. Though
the grievously sinned in the affair of
Uriah the Hittite, he deeply repent-
ed and was forgiven. Tile genuine-
ness of his repentance is echoed in
the 51st Psalm
The King of Kings, Jesus Christ
has IIis human lineage from David,
The glory of His everlasting king-
dom will be greater far than any
that have ever been, Well might the
Queen Victoria have said, 'I would
like to have the honour or laying
my crown at his feet."

Since last week there is only one
thing to say about the weather—
just that it's worse. 'huff said,
especially as it's snowing.
One day, last week, tired of wait-
ing for a good day, I [vent to Tor-
onto—in the rain. I paddled around
with rubbers and an umbrella most
of the day, had lunch "where all
Toronto meets" and then, tired of
shopping. 1 visited my ill -laws in
the Moore Park district. 1'o get
there 1 took a Mount Pleasant bus
and went along the new speedway
that ryas opened Last year. Speed-
way is right. It tools only ten min-
utes to go from Adelaide to Ingle-
wood Drive. When I got off the
bus 1 stood for a minute watching
the cars go by. The pace was tcrrf-
fir. Time was when 1 didn't mind
driving in the city at all—even when
we had the old Model A—now I
drive halfway and board ti bus.
Before leaving for home 1 stop-
ped off at Daughter's place, 1 want-
ed to hear all the news as just
recently she changed her job. Now
she is in a publishing office, last
Friday she was really thrilled. The
girls in the office site w*as leaving
clubbed together and gave her an
electric tea -kettle and two lovely
01135 and saucers. 1 an: sure she felt
she was leaving good friends behind
her. Maybe she had a fele regrets
—1 don't know. But that's the way
of life—if we gain in 0(137 way we
-lose 111 another.
That, loo, was our feeling the
nigh t the Budget was made public.
Actually by paying more taxes we
appear to be losing, hot if higher
taxes•are a a110115 of greater aa-

then we gain in the long run. Even
the budget had its funny side --
everyone on their toes to hear the

ger Email is another calf --and be-
ing of the attic variety it won't be
here very long. The visitors we
were expecting this week -end got
as far as Toronto—and stayed there.
Which is what I advised them to
do when they telephoned—they had
other friends to visit anyway. I
knew they were conning up again
in a few weeks time—and surely by
then there will be some improve-
ment in the weather.
A nice heart-warming little inci-
dent carne toy way yesterday, At a
small bus terminal I was buying an
evening paper. 'Pheoe was another
woman there chattering away ex-
citedly in broken English and point-
ing to some little magazines on the
paper rack. Thinking she could not
make herself understood I offered
to help, "No, no, it ees not that,"
she answered, "the English I under-
stand—I 5110 four years in Canada.
It is the books—the price they do

derstand—hl the Dutch. The sur-
prise—it so pleases me. I never
thought to see them here!" And
she hugged the two little magazines
tightly in her arms,
't'w'o papers from the Old Conn -
try, I imagined her taking them
home—to her Canadian home.
Reading, laughing, perhalhs crying
over them just a little. Ilan' won-

Sometimes this love of one's

happy and very much in love with
her new home. But underneath it
all there is still a deep and abiding
love for the home of her childhood
—where she grew from childhood
to womanhood; where the dreams
of yesterday slowly merged into the,
reality of today. So it is with Can-

Woman Finds Market
For Old Trash
The household "white elephant"
has found a home at last.
When Mrs, Helen McConnell
rounded up her personal herd of
unwanted trivia bacle in Iate 1949,
she decided that someone probably
could use the various odd items site
had collected from the basement
and attic.
Site selected the names of 100
Denver women at random from the
telephone book and sent then[ pos-
tal cards inquiring whether they
would be willing to swap their old
knicicnacks for something they
could use.
Sixty-five enthusiastic replies in
two weeks convinced her she had
a future in the white elephant busi-
ness. Her shop in Denver, the Bar-
ter Mari, has been booming ever
since.
The amazing part of the venture
is that customers can get a lot for
a little through the use of counter-
feit -proof wampum.
This wampum is a paper scrip in
one-quarter, one-half, five, 10, 20
and 50 denominations. One wam-
pum is .worth 12 cents.
When a customer comes into
the shop for a trade-in, the un-
wanted item is appraised by Mrs.
McConnell. , She grants wampum
according to her idea of its worth.
Medium of Exchange
Customers then swap- the wanr
num for any article in the store.
The mart is advertised as "the store
with nothing to sell," but it earns
for its owner through a service
charge at each article, The more
wampum required, the less the ser-
vice charge,
Barter Mart started in one tiny
roonf with 18 of Mrs, McConnell's
personal relics. Tlie rent was earn-
ed the first day, Since then it has
moved twice and expansion to still
larger quarters is slated for the
near future. -
Since the first of the year 9,136
articles have been taken in and an
estimated. 4,000 units of wampum
are in cirulation.
The venture has been so success-
ful that Mrs. McConnell has sold
franchises to several other cities.
Get Many Inquiries
In addition, the McConnells re-
ceive hundreds of weekly inquiries .
by letter and telephone from the
United States, Canada and Mexico.
The Mart handles every type of
merchandise that a housewife could
tab amonstrosity. For trade have
been curling balls, early model
gramophones, devices for curving
field hockey sticks, diamond rings,
horns on cattle ,atrieut automobiles,
Siamese cats and bed pans,
On a large hoard labeled: "We
have calls for" is as offer of: "Ira-
pert' expert will make drapes --your
home -•-for two wampum per hour."
Wednesday is family night at the
Mart. A giveaway drawing has
lured 200 persons into the shop on
these nights.
adios. McConnell' attributes her
success to the fact that everyone
loves to swap and a w'0111a11'5 !lair
for the unusual.
"Women would rather have want -
num 111101 money," she said, "we
have so much fun in here when we
get a cackling hunch of women
together; it's just like a circus."
