DOUBT
,.....z...«. By ,.PEG'
"How often we trust each other • that.
And only doubt our Lord
We take the word of mortals
And yet distrust His word
But `oh, what light and glory
• Would shine o'er all our days,
If we always would remember
' God .means just what He says"
Doubt is the consciousness of un-
• ^certainty. We spend many hours of
our time doubting this and that and
• the next thing. We cannot see any
way out of our difficulties, We even
look• up at the sky and declare that
the clouds have no silver lining when
`we know perfectly well that the sun
is shining above the clouds and the
beauty of the clouds above -the storm
is something to be marvelled at
The unfortunate thing about our
doubting is that it sinks us into the
depths of despair. There are so
• `many things about which we are
doubtful. We are doubtful as to
whether our Loved ones will come
home again. We fear, to answer the
knock at the door lest the messenger
.-should bring us bad news; we worry
because we know we will be turned
out of our work as soon as the war

we are going to make our examine -
Should anyone make an unkind re-
mark about any one always doubt it
until you find out that it is true and
even then keep it to yourself. Always
keep in mind that a casual remark
may .be passed to one end of the
village or town and by the time it
reaches the other end it will have
gained huge proportions. Never be
the one to pass any unkind ,remark
on, just keep it to yourself. You will
receive a great deal of pleasure out
of knowing that you doubted it and
kept it to yourself. Many a person's
life has •been ruined just by false
reports.
Doubt is, something which like jeal-
ousyr creeps slowly into our lives.It
may be we read a short story in a
paper about some unfortunate hap-
pening in a family. It may even have
had a fatal result. We meet some-
one else and then someone else and
finally the•shadow of doubt is cast on
the family already overburdened with
sorrow because we simply could not
understand just how such a thing
could have happened. We have
thrown -the bolt of doubt into the
machinery. . How would we like it if
we were in the other person's place?
Do be careful that remarks we pass

can say about local or public events

We ask ourselves how can we over-

can we wonder at the truth of till's
story concerning. General Gordon. The
King of Abyssinia in a fit of temper
once said to him "Gordon do you
know I could kill you on the spot if
I liked?" Gordon calmly replied "I
am perfectly aware of that, let your
Majesty do so at once if it be your
Royal pleasure for I am always ready
to die." Just as Genedal Gordon had
no doubt as to his future place of
abode no more need we have if we
just put our trust in Jesus Christ
who careth for us day by day,
"Distrust thyself, but trust His
grace;
It is enough for thee!
In even trial thou shalt trace
Its all—sufficiency
Distrust thyself .but trust His
strength;
Iu Him thou shalt be strong:
His weakest ones may learn at length

Distust thyself, but trust His love;
Test in its changeless :glow:
And life 'and death shall only prove
Its everlasting glow.
Distrust thyself, but trust alone

And joyously thy heart shall own

SOME DAY
There'll be a day when skies are blue
again.
There'll be a day when dreams come
true again,
Yes, somewhere in the near or far-
away,
There'll' be a day.
There'll be a day when we can say,
"it's over."
There'll be a day when we can dream
in clover,
And though above us now the skies
are gray,
'There'll be a day.
There'll be a day of dawn and golden

The day to recompense our endless
duty,
An answer to the faith of all who
pray,
There'll be a day.

.. LIBYA
The distant land, the mystic land,
The desert land of Libya—
In wave on wave of drifting sand
Her wastes flow endlessly away.
Beneath that sand, M burial vast,
Lies relics of the ancient past
And Empires swept away—
Phoenicia, Carthage, Greece and Rome
In their imperial day
Memorial shrine and sculptured bust
And tombs long mouldered into dust.
And now, in lowlier burial, laid
in lonely graves and trench new -made
By comrades' hurried Band,
Rest they in flush of manhood's pride,
At Freedom's call who fought and
died
On Libya's bloodstrained sand.
0' sand'of Libya, drifting deep
At stir of desert storm and breeze,
Drift gently o'er their place of sleep.
Each holds no nobler dead than
these,

IN THE WOODS
By Frederick George Scott
This is God's house—the blue sky is
the ceiling,
This wood the soft, green carpet
for itis feet,
Those hills His stairs, down which the
brooks come stealing,
with baby laughter malting earth
more sweet,
And here His friends come, clouds and
soft winds sighing,
And little birds 'whose throats pour
forth their love,
And spring and summer, and the
white snow lying
Pencilled -with shadows of bare
boughs above.
And here conies sunbeams through the
green leaves straying,
And shadows from the storm -clouds.
over drawn,
Arid warm, hushed nights, when
mother earth is praying
So late that her moon-canelle burns
ill dawn.
Sweet house of God, ;sweet earth so
full of pleasure,
I enter at thy gates in storm or
calm;
And ' every sunbeam is a joy and
treasure,
And every cloud a solace and a
balm.

THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD
I cannot tell why He, Whom angels
worship,
Should set His love upon the sons of
men,
Or, why, as Shepherd, He should
seek the wanderers
To bring them back, they know not
how or when.
But this I know; that He was born
of Mary,
When Bethlehem's manger was His
only home,
And that He lived at Nazareth and
laboured,
And so the Saviour, Saviour of the
world, is come.
I .cannot tell how He will win the
nations,
How He will claim His earthly heri-
tage,
How satisfy the needs and aspirations
Of East and West, of sinner and of
sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall, see
His Glory,
And He shall reap the harvest He
has sown,
And some glad day His sun shall
shine in splendour
When He the Saviour, Saviour of the
world, is known.

USEFUL TRICKERY
34
High on a windy hill? Perhaps—but a picture of this type might easily
be made in a rocky meadow by shooting from a low position to exclude
foreground and background details.
Ing "faked" pictures. For instance,
if you show stibjects'in hunting cos-
tume portaging a canoe through
pine woods—any pine grove will do
you'll get the feeling of a North
Woods scene. If you show a Naval
officer taking a reading With a sex-
tant, you'll get the effect of being
on shipboard—although you may be
miles from the nearest water.
Your own ingenuity slrotiid .pro-
vide you with other examples, and
you should let it guide you when it
comes, to working out ideas. One
photographer recently pictured a.
man balancing a stack .of eggs on
the edge, ofa table knife held be-
tween his teeth. The "eggs" were
mere shells, blown empty and strung
on a thread that hung from the
ceiling, while the, subjectheld the
knife so that the bottom egg just
touched it. i•
Try your hand at some of these
trick effects. They're fou, and they
yield pictures of distinctive novelty
and interest.' John van Guilder
"1AKING" is always au unpleasant
r word, and yet often a bit of
faking or trickery eau be used to
obtain an interesting pictorial effect
—one that wouldn't ordinarily be
possible.
For example, consider the picture
which accompanies this article. The
writer does not know where it was
taken, and itprobably is a genuine
hilltop picture. However, the point
is that it could have been made in
any meadow or field—wherever
there might have been a big rock
on which the subjects could pose.
You could produce similar results'
by choosing a low angle of view,
and tilting your camera upward so
SO to exclude all identifyingdetails
in the background and foreground.
If your subjects were dressed in
mountain -climbing garb, the effect,
would be even more striking.
I want to emphasize that last
point, 'because ' costumes and similar.
"stage properties" play a major role
in the production of authentic-look-
