Sitting over the 'World eher is the delicate figure of a wo Her head is bowed ,and her. eyes deged. In her .hard is a harp only one string; The others have been broken. She sits there, much feated in appearance, bringing such music as she can from that string. The meaning -which the at seems to be portraying is that wh everything is gone and the harp life is left with but one string, that stretched almost to the Snapp point, when hope plays upon it, gives out soul -satisfying music. pie been' watelhed as was ,that of the are others.

The new work may come es a it complete surprise to the one 'who' re - A's calved it, but he had been hoping for we look sit the picture, without study. nig it, we feel that it should be called "Despair". We ask the question, "where is there any hope in such a life?" It is not found outwardly, but it is in the :heart where it should always be a part of us: Even to this figure, which has apparently touched the. depths of despair, ,hope has brought its- blessed ministry. Hope does not forsake as, even:_ when des- pair has done its utmost to keep us from rinsing. As far bask as we oan remember, even before we realized what the word meant, we have been hoping for something and as long as we have any reasoning power we will do the same thing, . We have 'hopes :about future events over which we have no eontrol, and again there are things which our own actions may help to bring about. Sometimes tut night, we hope that the 'weather the following day will be suitable to us individually or to the Community of which we form part. Over that, at the present time, our control is very li•uiited. A recent newspaper .article pointed out that a scientist claims that in the year 2000 A.D., the weather will be man -tirade. Experiments along that line are even now talcing place, but with a small amount of success. Ged is still in His heaven and will even at that time have a major part in all earthly af- fairs. • The hopes of the world are now centred on the U.N. conference, wish- ing that in some way the nations of prlacti•cally the' whole world, who are represented, may come to some sat- isfactory agreement on the future relations of their different countries. Some. delegates claim that there will be no World War ili1 in our time, while others are quite definite in their opinion that within the period of the next ten years we will be in the midst of the greatest and short• est war of. all times. They affirm it will not be a hundred years war. We do pray earnestly that we will not be punished for our indifference to God, by again having to go through another siege of anxiety such as has been our 1st in the last two wars. We ,pray about other things we ,want, at least the minority of the world which is Christian does, so why do we ne- glect this most important earthly matter? There is a groat deal for which we hope,which is useless, unless we work to accomplish the object for which we are wishing. A 'teen-ager may say "I hope I crass my exams next year as I have to have my ma- triculation beofre I can go on with my next course." The wish will be of not avail unless they work with that object in view during the year. Many of us leave, so to speak, cram- med at the end of the year and have made a ,pass. What satisfaction is that to us? What we have Iearned in that short period before exams is soon forgotten. We have obtained our hope, but it must be with a great feeling of shame: Then there are those who will have the seine desire, and will work very hard during the year, but for some reason do not `rake the required `nark. A father recently, replying to the question as to how his daughter was progressing in university, said, "We 'cio not know what the reports will ,show, but her mother and I do know than she.has woikccl' hard. We are satisfied that she has done her utmost to get through." There are many whose hopes. are not realized along this line but they and their family know they have not neglected their studies. It is thus a great sat- isfaction. The hockey season for 1947-98 will soon be coanmenciing in earnest. The Maple Leafs are. now being' chosen from their training camp in ,St, Ca- tharines, They, everyone, hope they may make the grade for the team. When, the players are chosen they, and we, ,hope •they will go through the season doing good work and at the end of the regulation games, they will have a high position in the play- offs and go on to win the !Stanley Gap. How are they going to accomp- lish that high ambition? Not by merely sitting in the dressing room with .their skates on and their hockey sticks in their hand's. Nothey are entering competition which is Inc Caen for- anything like that. They, have not only to work very hard, but t will be necessary for them to obey he rules of ,the club; of which they are members. The same applies to ell sport and everything else too-nthevh-ile in life. Those who are not enough interested to work hard • to win will soon be dropped from the team o: from any acs of Life. :Sometimes in an office, through the moved of at executive by death, or otherwise, a promotion is to be made, ,AO are anxious to know who will. be chosen. It is naturally thought same member,of the -staff will be given the position who had 'been there longest. When the appointment is made it is at times a great surprise It may have gone to a clerk who has at been there over a long period of years. The others wonder why they were palssed by. llf ewe were ito quietly interview the manager we would find ithat the work of ,the appointee had THURSDAY, OPTOJnEIR• 9, 1947 azzifrogq mEivosirtrwRD Rice Lake Fur Co.
