F z 1116 One Step at a Time waassaa ran, Sy "1PEG^ A Scottish widow was leftwith + several dependent bairns'. Day after ...day her meagre means grew less. At :last she scraped the bottom: of the Pour 'barrel, not knowing from ' whence the next cake would come. • Feeling forsaken the hot tears began to fall. Hearing her sob her little boy Robbin drew near to comfort -her. When he had attracted her at- tention he looked up into her face -'with wonder and asked in his quaint Scotch dialect "Mither, what are ye grietin' . (weeping) about? Dinna ' °God: hear ye scrapin' o' the bottom • o' the barrel, Mither." It was a lesson for the ,.Mother. Needless to say God took care of the little family as He always, does. In the life of each one of usthe time comes when we feel that we are 'forsaken; when we do not understand just why God allows certain things to happen to us. In the majority of 'cases the fault rests with us. We do • not put our trust in our Saviour. In- stead of putting our hand in His and walking along with Him we atop and allow Him to go on without us. We fail to realize that life is made up of one step at a time. A splendid story has been told of a little lad who was walking along the street with his Mother, The path led along :at the foot of a mountain and the Thoy said, "Could anyone ever -climb to 'the very top of that mountain?" CARE OF CHILDREN COO KING •he years to come: Does a baby start to walk at 'once? No, indeed, the poor little toddler has many a fall before he takes his first step and his little heart is often broken as he continues the struggle to balance himself and take more than oile steps. No matter how long ,he' lives he will never even physically take more than one step at a: time.. So too when his school days begin he goes on grade by grade. Some times' if he is extra clever'he will skip a grade, but even so he must in some way obtain that knowledge. Time goes on and should it be his good fortune' to pass through High School and go on to University, he as he stands before the chaneelldir to re- ceive his degree must realize that he has not done it all at once. It has just been one step at 'a time. "Yes", replied the Mother, "All one needs to do is to keep right on climbing. One tan get almost any- where by taking just one step.at a time. Those words remained in the mind of that boy. He left school be- fore he was very far advanced in his education. Later those words "one step at a time" came back to him. He got a spelling book and a rudimentary arithmetic and began the upward climb. Today he is a professor in one of the leading universities of this continent. There are very few of us who can- not improve our situation in life if we just make up our minds to do so, On account of the war many of our girls and boys are leaving school be- fore they have acquired the educe - tion which otherwise•they would have had but that is no reason why they should; not later continue their stu- dies. In the years to some many of our young people will be sorry they did not strive 'harder, but in these days every one should be able to se- Throne o1 Grace. , cure a good education.

It was there as he paced the deck that he found the. true secret of all life and light and he, wrote that hymn which is loved by every Christian the vrorld' aver.

When a recipe calls for nuts and you can obtain some peanuts', rub off the hulls and excess salt with ''a damp cloth and use a small quantity. If recipe calls for 1 cup of nuts, you may use'one half cup chopped peanuts and use one extra tablespoon of flour. 2. If cooking utensils are soaked immediately after the food has been removed, they may be easily cleaned. Cold water is best for eggs, milk or doughy substances. Hot water acts more quickly en greasy foods. The Question Box The familiar Martin-Senour sign is the one to look for when paint -plans are pending.

THE most important requisite of 1 any informal portrait Is that it be a good likeness. Indeed, the very word "portrait" means a likeness; but it implies more than that. It suggests a portrayal which is natu- ral and characteristic. To obtain such personality studies, you must do two things. First, ar• range yoµ✓ lights and camera 1n advance, so that you can snap pic- tures quickly and without a lot of fuss. Second, make sure that your subject is at ease. The simplest way to have your subject, relax is to provide a com- fortable place to sit and something to do. ' Suppose you are making a picture of your sister. Perhaps it would be best to show her, fairly close-up, ]nutting, as in the picture above. • Having her knitting, or even glanc- ing up from a book, will help her feel at ease, thus taking her atten- tion away from the camera and lights. Now, about lighting indoors, The placing of the lights must not be extreme, for you don't want odd lighting effects in these pictures. And, as previously mentioned, the tights and camera should be in posi- tion and all ready before you place your subject. For informal portraits, the best general lighting is the conventional 45 -degree type (that is,the main light at a height so that it may directed at that, angle) withal you will find illustrated in any booklet or leaflet on taking night snapshots. Two lights are essential, and the ones generally used, now that regu- lar Rood bulbs 'are not available to the amateur, are a 100-wattand a 150 -watt home lighting bulb. One is placed to the leftof the camera; one to the right, both pointing at the subject. This produces' a uicely balanced lighting with noharsh or extreme shadows: And don't forget that those in the Service like to receive informalpor- traits of members of their fatally and friends. , • John van Guilder.
