It is really 'the foundation of our character, The story is told of the artist Turn er.'One day he invited Charles Xings ley into his studio to see a picture of a storm which he bad just finished. Kingsley stood, . wrapt in admiration and exclaimed, "flow did you do it,, Turner?" The great artist answered I had an ambition to paint a storm at sea so I went to the eoast of Holland and engaged a fisherman to take me out in his boat in the next storm. When the storm was brewing L went 'down to his boat and bade him bind me to its .mast. Then he drove the boat out into the teeth of the storm. The storm was so furious that I long- ed to be down in the bottom of the boat and allow it to blow over me. But I could not; I was bound to the mast. Not only did I •see,tluat storm and feel it but it blew itself into •me until I became part of that storm. Then I came back and painted that picture. Life may be compared to a storm. Every experience in life, to be of any value to us, must become part of our very being. • We may sit dawn and Write a letter of synpathy to a friend whose 1W:thei* we will say has been' called Home.. We may put words on paper whieh may bring some comfort, but if the friend knows that we have passed through the same experience the words will have a much deeper meaning. Parents may tell a child time and again not to touch a, stove explaining that he will get burned, hot unless the lad, has some experience of what being burned is he in all probability will keep on until in some way he has the tragic experience of suffering from a burn. Then unless it is throu- gh an accident he will have learned a lesson which will stand him in good stead through the rest • of his days. Experience very often makes a great change in our life we talk a great deal about our trials, our 501T- onvs and disappointments, but if we just take time to compare them with our blessings we will find that the former are much in the minority. The majority of us have been given the health and strength to go about our daily work. Our sympathy goes out to those who are laid aside and have am one to really care for them, We are eery prone tobe dissatisfied with our lot in life but experience has taught us that there aro many who are much worse off than we are. Let us just look at a days work. As soon as we can make ourselves get up after the alarm goes off we do so and face the day. How we feel depends largely on how we have spent the evening before. God has provided our clothing.. As we hurry into it do -we ever think of those who are shivering in sortie shack which they call home with scarcely enough to cover their bodies or do we try in any way to help them. We go down to breakfast. Very often before partaking' of the food which Christ has provided for us weforget or neglect to thank Him for the bless- ings which he has so bonntifully be- stowed on us. Then we step out into the broad day light. The air may be crisp and cold, but experience has taught us to dress warmly. We spend so little time thinking of the beauties of nat- ure which may be found in abundance during the four seasons of the year. The heaviest thunderstorm teaches us a wonderful message of the majesty of God. No human anind could devel- op any idea which could illuminate the heavens as the firinament is lighted in a storm. Should it ever occur to one that there is no God sure- ly that marvellous spectacle would be the means of convincing them that there undoubtedly is. Iu contrast to that we have the very pleasant exper- ienee of standing on the cliff over- looking a lake and watching the sun set on the Horizon to :rise on the other side of the .globe... No painter of any repute could ever 'feel that no, matter how well he used his brush that he c'ouJd reproduce on canvas anything which would take the place •-of the original. We hd v .e the t privilege of breathing God's pure air and what jt means to us! We are not longin a stuffy room .before we realize the differ- ence between the .pure .and impure, In season we have the singing of the birds and what a, joy it is to us to ]tear tbeml .They are trite Christians and are trained la afune - with the Heavenly music: The fact that there is no discord in their symphony should be a great lesson to the world to -day. Even tit this season of the year as we look at the flowers in, our homes we are so thankful that God tirade them .of such varied colors. Had Ile wished He could have made them all one shade or no eolon at all such as black or white. We are told that in the dark all flowers are white, but as the sun rises -`they reflect all shades but the one which is the particular color of the flower, In the beginning God and what a wonderful God He is! When darkness falls over the Earth we have one of the MOST wonderful sights when the firmament is studded with stars., The study of .astrononny is one in which every one should be keenly interested. We know that at times clouds will 'obstruct our vision of this marvellous sight just as sor- row and rouble will hinder our view of the hoppiness,which we So smut+` desire. Experience, that great teach- er has shown us that those clouds will pass away and joy will once again be. come part of our dives. Some time ago a group of young people visited the home of Bethoven. One of them seated herself art the piano of the composer and played several pieces. When she finished she whirled herself around anal said to the guard. I •suppose a great many people visit this place? "Yes" he answered Pederewske was held last week, 'I suppose he too played on'Beethovens piano the girl said, "He did not," re- plied the guard, "he said he was not worthy". How often inexperience prompts us to do things which otherwise we would not do. 1Mssnyof us have had the experience and, a joyous one it is, of being co- workers With our Saviour' Jesus - Christ but dhow many of .us have en- deavored to lead others to follow IIim too. We are indeed missing a great deal. If we are true followers of His we will find every word in John 3:16 to be the foundation of out• faith. God loved us and because of that love He sent His only Son to die for us. Th.e "Whosoever" there mentioned applies to, every one who will believe on Bion and accept Isis free gift of Salvation. Tho reward for taking Him as our Saviour is that we will not perish but will .have everlasting life 'with him and with those we Ladies' Skirts Flared 'Styles in Alpines and Alpacas 4 size 14 - 3 size 16 1 size 18 & 1 size 20 Reg. 2.95 for $1.48 • • e Ladies' Fur Mitts Various Shades Reg. 2.95 for $1.48 Pr. ° ESSIUMISMOICIMMOREZCZIN y�+y P9CE' CLEARANCE S.LE at the Toggery Shoppe Sale Starts Thursday, Feb. 20 and Ends Saturday March 1.
