Discouragement and courage go hand in hand for without the one we would not require the other. We could add to that, another word, encouragement. clow -often our discouragement would lead to absolute failure if the spark of courage in our make-up was not story which is repeated is never the same as when it is jutit told, If we have ever joined in gossip like that, and who has not, may we now make it a rule of our lives to give others the idea that we are not interested in talk like ,that, and if by ,any chance we, "Have you prayed over it?"

We ,know, that we are .not to blame for what has taken place yet we realize that in order to clear ourselves we would have to involve someone else. It takes a great deal of courage" to stand to one side and say nothing and yet how cowardly we would feel if we brought the guilty party into it. As a rule the ode who has done the wrong will come for- ward and take the blame but even if they do not they will suffer much more than we will, of course; as the old saying goes, "circumstances alter cases." Be guarded that we do not allow our character to suffer, for that is something which may never be blotted put on earth but there are often things which do not amount to anything and they very often will straighten themselves out without involving anyone else. It may be we try to excuse ourselves from some wrong doing by saying "Oh well, .it is alright other people do it."_ What other eople do should be no guide to kindled by a word of encourage There are many things in our truant by some one who was in lives which we would like to try some way interested in us.

Because someone 'else takes what does not belong .to them is no reason why we should do the same, Perhaps never in the hist- ory of our Dominion has there ever been such temptations for not only our young people, but also those who are older. Im- morality sems to be playing a part which it never . did before, drinking is a very common prac- tise, it ' is indeed pitiful among our young people. In our cities in spite of talking petitions and warnings cocktail bars and drink- ing places are being established. Would that something could be done to stop this. Everyone Is be- ing blamed fqr it. Our young. people go out to parties, they are not content with a social evening but they must go on to some home or to a club or drinking place where liquor is. served. They are in such a condition that they have no idea what is happening and if they have anyrespect at all for themselves the remainder of their life is ruined.

Even yet you can try again to do what you have failed to do during the years when your family was at home with you. It is not an easy thing in older years to change from an un- godly life to one where Christ is recognized as the Head .of the Home, but when the stand is once taken do not be ashamed to let it be known that you are a follower of the meek and lowly esus. He is not ashamed of us, o matter to what depths we have (alien, yet how reluctant we are to speak of Him as a personal reind. We are so embarrassed, if anyone says we are a Christ-' Ian. How proud we should be o be counted among His fol- owers! The foregoing are just a few points over which we can pon- der. We can add to this list many others which we have tried, but after failure we have not had the courage to try again, We may lways have the assurance that if we ask God's help He will grant it to us. As we look at world con- ditions to -day we wonder why Christian people do hot pray more, So it is in our "private lives. We have the assurance ;t!hat God will help us if we ask Him to, as we try again to over- come some difficulty in our lives. As we look back we can see marvellous answers we have had to prayer. What God has done before He will do again. Let us ask Him to be with us as we try to do some of the things which in former years have proved failures. "PEG" carefully guarded countr33 dist- J. rids have no idea whatsoever n what the condition along these lines in our cities. is. Parents in rural districts should' realize that as their children leave home to go to larger centres they will have to face these problems and It it is the home training they have I had which will help them to face the future in a way which will be a credit not only to themselves but also to their parents. What a heart break it must be to moth- ers and fathers when their sons' and daughters leave home to a make their own way in itis and get into trouble of one kind or another. How many parents at this time teach their children about God and how many young poeple leave home with a Bible in their trunk or travelling bag? Apparently the percentage is very small, There are many fine young Christians who seek work in our towns and cities whose first thought on leaving home is to find a House of God where they may continue to worship Him but there are so many who go out to seek places of amuse- ment which Christ does not fre- quent. Parents, when disaster comes to your door through the misdeeds of your young son or daughter can you truthfully say to God, "I did the best I could to train him or her to love you," To those who have not done so the remorse must be terrible, You will not only be accused by your child of being the means of his or her downfall, but you will have to answer to God for the neglect of the responsibility you accepted when the little one came into your home. You cannot go back through the years and re- train the child. If you have not seized the opportunity when the little one was young, you prob- ably have not known Christ your. self, but it is not too late to ac- cept Him as your personal Sav- iour and try to lead your family to also love Him and accept Him as their guide and companion through the remainder of their -.little !tree „farm LONDON, ONT.

THE DELL TELEPHONE • COMPANY OF CANADA by Lotto Dempsey Of course, quite a few air force personnel got their faces smashed in crack-ups. But a girl ... well, girls have a very special feeling about their faces. And when they brought the tall slender WD cor- poral into hospital --one of the eight of twenty-seven left alive out of a flight that crashed between Vancouver and Prince Rupert— she was about' the most unrecog- nizable Airwoman still breathing in this country. They flew Helen—and Mary,' an- other WD with a badly burned back—to Toronto's Christie Street Military Hospital, for skin grafts and burn treatment. A Red Cross worker told me she'd never forget it. The Red Cross room is in the heart of the wards, next door to the room those girls had. For weeks workers just tiptoed in and out on their rounds—writing letters, supplying stamps, cigar- ettes and chocolate bars to the patients. 'No Visitors' One operation followed another through the weary months in which doctors built a new face for Helen and treated Mary's back. The girls became great friends with the Red Cross workers. But they didn't want to meet people from the 'outside', right then. Even when the `No Visitors' sign went down and Air Force boys and other vet, patients wheel -chaired and crutch -tapped in, they were still shy about seeing 'just people'. The Red Cross was different. Those women in the deep blue smocks were part of their own submerged world of pain and ill- ness, yet attached to the country outside. They did the little things the girls needed—feminine bits of shopping, letters and messages, planned small celebrations. New Trades As the girls progressed, going from one hospital to another for treat- ment, the Red Cross was always there. Supplying ambulances; at first—later, escorts to hockey games, concerts, plays, Offering quiet practical assistance whenever it was needed. Today Helen and Mary are learn- ing new trades. Helen can no longer teach physical education or model. Mary cannot continue her typing, because of `permanently stiffened fingers. But while DVA prepares them for their new lives, the Red Cross stili stands by as they do with all our Canadian veterans in hospitals everywhere. In proof that we, the people, have not forgotten. Red Cross Services include: Blood Transfusion, Outpost Hospi- tals, Aid to Sick and Disabled Veterans, Treatment for Crippled Children, Disaster Relief, Nutrition Services, Home Nursing Courses, Swimming and Water Safety, etc. 48054 The work of mercy never ends ...
