By "PEG" God Moves—and He always moves forward. • Many of our most beautiful hymns have been written by men and women' •In' ;deep distress, one might say al- most to the state of dispair. Time and again we sing that hymn written by William Cowper "God moves in a 'Mysterious way His wonders .to per- form" and we would sing it with a .great deal more feeling if we just understood that when the author wrote it his depression was so great 'that he had decided to go to London Bridge and there end it all. He called gave his destinationas RC cabby- 'arid g e London Bridge. Shortly after they started a very dense fog settled over 'that part of the city. The cabby drove on and on but as far as ho was con- •cerned London Bridge had been moved off the map. When they had driven 'for some time Cowper scanning through the cab window discerned his `own house. Ile ordered, the driver to stop, paid his fare and saying to the wondering cabby "God is in this," he siterrd his home and wrote this hymn which carries a great deal of interest to each one of us,. Truly "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform" So attn. we cannot see the end of the way over which we are travelling, nor can we discern the wonderful, massage which He is try- ing to teach us but we can feel as- sured that the day will come when we will both sen and understand it all. As we read the biography of men and women we are Ied to wonder just why certain things happened in their lives, oecurances which changed the whole course of their being. Perhaps, i ithasg been art. encouraging g ord w spoken to some one who was sunk in the depths o dispair and who felt that life was not worth living. It may have been a father who saw his son trying to work out some problem, perhaps in carpentering or along some mechanical line and who helped him build a work bench in the basement or some other convenient place. Many fathers and sons have been made pals just through a work bench.

Would it be a move in the right direction if hostilities were to cease now- Would the people turn back to God? Let us 'look about as and contemplate the situation. For one thing how is the temper- ance question progressing? A walls History very often reveals the fact l that God moves in a mysterious way. Time after time in' World War I and so far in this war we have had positive miracles performed by God. Going back into past history we re- call the wonderful incident of Robert Bruce when apparently he faced defeat. Pursued by his enemies he hid in a cave. While there he noticed a spider trying to weave its web. Twice it got so far and then fell, but the third time it succeeded in weaving its trap. It went on spinning until at last it had quite a good sized web in the entrance to the cave. Not long after it was finished the pursu- ers of tile great Scottish Ieader came to the cave. It was dark inside and they could not see the crouching figure but observing the spider web they came to the conclusion that misnionnsammommollmonsn How Much is a Dollar A, dollar is worth as much as it can buy world war people paid fora pound of butter. orth For instance, during the Iasi .while you pay around Eca 1 Today.

This one points up the use of a dark background, backlighting, and a reflector to brighten the shadows. WHEN a striking" picture catches TY your eye, it's always a good idea to ask yourself, "How was that picture made? How did the photog- rapher achieve his effect?" Surprisingly, a great deal can be. learned by doing just that. You'll discover=if'you try it—that in no time at all you'll be picking up many useful tips on composition, angle of view, lighting, and other.. subjects. And you'llfind that what you learn will give you ideas that are readily applicable to your own picture taking. For instance, take a look at our illustration, for this week. It's not a particularly outstanding photo- graph, and yet there are at -least three points in this snapshot alone which could be applied to your work. First, there's the trick of using a dark background for an outdoor snapshot. How was it achieved? Well, the photographer simply posod his subjects before the shadow side of 'a 'high hedge. Second, note the use of strong backlighting for this outdoor snap- shot. By standing so that the sun was shining toward the camera— rather than coming from behind the camera—the photographer knew that his subjects would be strongly out- lined with light, Of course, he had to shade the lens of the camera so that the direct rays of the sun did not enter and fog the film, but obvi- ously the result was worth the extra effort. And finally, observe the •brilliancy of the faces—the lack of heavy shadows. This indicates that the cameraman used a large piece of white cardboard, or some other re- fleeter, to catch the light and brighten the shadows. It's a simple trick, but like many other photo- . graphic stunts it certainly pays dividends in satisfaction. Yoe can apply any of these meth- ods to your own picture making. Try some the next time you take pictures of your family—and study everypicture you see. You'll find that time spent that way willbe very profitable in the long runs John van Gander
