has been besought on byt our own fool-
i�siuness. We have been up 'late .the
night -before and have giiven no ,thou-
gh't to our employer, to .those in our
homes, nor to those with whom we
hie the privilege of working.
Many of us realize what it is to
work real 'bard. Ours thoughts have d
been very much dusting this winter,
almost with out precedent, with 'our
doctors in the country. districts. We
know they .have made every effort
to get to their patients even a1#houlgh

Only those who have lived in country
towns and'village have any idea what
these brave men go +6hrough. Then
too there are those whose work took"
them out into the storms and the
snow'drifted roe% arid a frost which
has caused many deaths. Do we hear
them gamble about their work? No
they are doing their duty and are
glad to be able to ,help those who
are in trouble. Do we take these .sets
for granted or do we lighten their
burden any by giving them a word of
appreciation? Some of the bravest
men there are in our land of snow
are our doors who answer calls day
and night summer and winter and yet
one seldom finds 'them out of humor.
In our hearts have we' the thought
for these men and women that we
should have?
Are we sufficiently 'und'erstanding'
about others? Mere are many in-
stances where we can be thoughtful
for those with whom we chine in con- I
tact. Are we guild' of doing things
which are distressing to others? We

with us. God does not expect us to
undertake more for Him than we can
do thoroughly- Christ died for us.
How little it takes to make us £o
Run. That is just exactly what
are doing when we neglect His work.
Like Peter we are denying Him ive
aye "following afar off."
Many of our young Hien and wo-
men joined the forces in defence of all
that stood for right but now few eon1-
paratively spealting, are joining the
forces of the King of Kings in a
thoroughly Christian,way.
As we go on in life have we suff-
icient respect for our parents? We
too might ask •the:queseion, "Do they
give us cause to haverespectfor
them?" Those are questions which
must be seriously considered by both
parents and children, May the fol-
lowing story never be true of us as
ehildren or ehildren grown in years.
A Mother had very high ideals for
her son. She worked at washing and
cleaning in order that .he might be
well educated. One clay she got a
chalice to go to the city and went to
College to call on hien. He was much
taken back for he had told many
things which were not true about his
home. After she went away one of
his chums said: Who is that old wo-
man? The son replied That is tate
woman evho does the washoing and
cleaning in our home. Mother asked
her 40 call.•
Under similar circumstances a
timing mar wns chosen to give tis
Valedictosty address for his class.
When the exercises were over ee
and the principal of the school were
seen winding their way through the
crowd to the side of a timid, rather
poorly dressed elderly lady • who was
seated near the front. The young
man bent oved and kissed her. Then
he .introduced' the principal with the
words: "I would like you to meet my
dear mother, who through hard wor
and slavish .tasks made my grade
tion' possible. I am now going to
care far her," To which class of
young men or women do we belong.
God grant it may be the latter. Many
parents today will teli you with a
sob in their voice that their son .or
daughter does not seem to have much
love for them. What a tragedy! The
time may come all too soon when
our parents will have gone to the
Great Beyond where they will have
no need of our poor earthly love.
:Ayre we wilting to give of ourselves
to otheta? We all know the story of
the expedition of Captain Scott to
the Antarctic and: of the brave and
heroic deed of Captain Oates, an of-
ficer of the Dragoons. Sick and' ex•
haunted he realized he could go no
further: He knew he was keeping
his comrades bask. One day he said
to them, "I :tan just going outside
and may be some time.' He walked
out into the, blizzard and that was
the last they saw of him. There
was no audience to applaud his 'brave
deed, but the world since then has
given: him Its admiration.
Do 'we belong to the elms of people
who argue; meth to the distress of
!those who have to listen. Ie we
have cultivated that habit do let us
try one best to overcome it.
Another thing which is hard to
bear is to hear one continually Tied-
ing fault. Art' the present time so.
much is being said about the in'ate.
ity to buy food or material things.
If we belong to that class we should
feel thoroughly ashamed of our
selves. Instead, of complaining let
us allow our thoughts to dwell on'
those 'veva are in Britain or in
Europe, in many parts of which
people are absolutely ettirvring. and
are being found dead on the raadeide
overcome by cold. We •perhaps are
not getting the betake to which we
were accustomed before the war, but
we are not suffering in -any way.
What a cliagrace it is for us to even
murmur!
As we look into Stir lives we can
all see traces of these characteristics.
We cannot overcome them in our
own strength but God will help, u5
if we belieye' in Flim, give bereelves
to Him. and tints have the privilege
