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 it'+broug+ht them almost to exhaustion 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 world' cannot undo it.

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 of corms'':' to Brut in prayer, lie will never, fait its. Come to Hinn today. "neve we trials and temptations Is there trouble anywhere? We shonsld never be discouraged! Take it - to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who can all our sorrows sbare? Jesus knows our every weakness: Take it to the Lord in prayer." epees,.' +biunerai service wars conducted by 0 Bev. U.
