LOVE
w+r+.rw.w. By "PEG'
`A father, who .although he was
blind, always attended the cricket
"matches of the school of which his
son was a student. The boy was a
splendid batsman and was captain of
• 'fhe school team. The father never
saw his son play but it afforded him
a great deal of pleasure to attend the
matches. The father died very sud
denly. The day following his funeral
• an important genie was scheduled at
'the school. The faculty and members
of the team did not expect the sen to
' play. But he did and played one of
leis best games. Upon being comment-
ed on it afterwards he said. "You
• see, this is the first time my dear
father would see me play, and I
" wanted to do, my very best, for I
was conscious that his eyes were
• upon me."
What an evidenee of love there
-:was between that father and son. The
boy wanted to do the very best he
could: so as to please lease his father.
There is a much deeper love between
–our Heavenly Father and each one
of His children.
A letter carne to me recently from
a nurse asking permission to come
out to see me. In the Epistle in verse
she gave a wonderful example 'of
how we can have that loving Heaven-
ly Father walk at our side during the
day.
I met God in the morning
When my day was at it's beat
His Presence came on the sunrise
Like glory within my breast;.
.........„,„,,,.......,..„,..jn
All day His Presence lingered,
AU day He stayed with me
And, we sailed in perfect calmness
O'er a very troubled sea
Other ships' were torn and battered
Other ships were sore distressed.
But the wind which seemed to drive
them
Brought to us both peace and rest.
And so I think I know the secret
Learned through many a troubled
way, -
You must seek Him in the morning
If you want Rim through the day.
Hew very beautiful those words
are! We would do well to not only
memorize them but also to practise
them. As Christians we should never
leave our room in the morning with-
out placing our hand 'in the hand 'of
God .and asking Hun to guide us
every step of the way. It is so easy'
;to try from time to time to be in-
dependent of Him, so' like the little'
girl who' determnined to take her
father's hand instead of letting him
take hers, we fall repeatedly until
we have learned our lesson. Then!
and only their will we feel that God i
is guidingus and keeping us in Elis
care and keeping.
When Jesus Christ was born, -we
have that wonderful 'story' of the
angels. We are so thankful that they
.did not give the message alone to
are free to partake of the Salvation
which is freely offered to all who
accept Christ as their personal
Saviour.
But this I know, He lives to -day
As surely as of yore,
For in this heart of mine He reigns,'
A king for evermore.
It is not necessary.for us to be in a
crowd in order to enjoy the word of
God. We may be one of a large
audience who is listening with a.
great deal of interest to some pro-
minent speaker expound passages of
the Bible or vire may be in our room
slope with Jesus Christ. If we ask
Him to, lie will reveal the meaning of
His word'. Is it not wonderful how He
does that with so many passages of
Scripture?
If we have the ' love of Christ in
our 'hearts we will want to do every
thing in our power' to bring others in
touch with Him. After the last war
there were many people who visited
"mediums" to try and get in touch
with loved, ones. Do not wait' till
after this' war is ended; and go
through the same performance again
Let each one of us pray that God
will give us• opportunities to speak
for Him. There is, a joy in that which
we do not find in any other way. How
often we r}riss these opportunities!
Some time ago a young girl went to
call on an elderly woman. The girl
was fond of wordly things and after
she had gone away her friend thought
"Now Jane wase here and I did not
say a word to •her about ,. the real
things of life"? It worried her so she
prayed that God would forgive her
and. would send. Jane back so she
might have an opportunity ofspeak-
ing to her. It was not long till God
answered her prayer. Jane cane back
and the two friends enjoyed a talk
ebout the war and of how we would
conduct world affairs, of the govern-
ment, about pleasure, art, and many
ether . things. We have "no" hesitation
in speaking about these things, but
when it -comes to the highest topic of
conversation, Jesus Christ, our ton-
gues are tied. We have nothing to
say. Even Christian people find it
hard to speak for Him, and what a
disgrace it is after. all He has done
for usl
There are many hard problems in
.the life of a Christian ,but love will
solve these, if we have the love of,
the shepherds, but that w•ondertful Jesus Christ in our hearts. The story'
message of peace and love was to all is told of a great bridge which was

and was' to meet in the middle, but
when it was swung into place it
was found that it would not :Beet by
twd inches. Nothing they knew of
could span that little , space. Tbey
Telegraphed to ;the designer and
anxiously awaited this reply. When
it came it meant' nothing to them.
All it said was "Wait till tomorrow
-noon." The following day at noon the
wen had expanded the metal so that
the two sections fitted perfectly and
they were able to fasten them into
place. So if we have Jesus Christ in
'our hearts His love will keep us close
to Him and our sorrows and troubles
will disappear,
As we look over our past lives we
see many nmafiy things in the line of
education, of invention, of science, of
medicine and other things which have
passed away, .but from the time of
the birth of Christ until the present,
Christion love ha taken a great part
in humanity and it will go on and on
through the Eternal ages.
Love will make duty easy. How
much more pleasant it is for us to
do things for some one we love, than
for someone in whom we have very
little interest. There is no love like
the love which binds us to Jesus
Christ and which is a bond of fellow-
ship between His followers. Willi
we not join in that common bond to-

oday. We will never regret it. It will
bring such a joy to us that we will
wish we had taken the step long ago.
"0 Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee baek the life I owe
That in Thine ocean depths, it's flow
May richer, fuller be.
0 Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms point; strain through cheesecloth;
add water to make two cups liquid.
Blend two-thirds cup sugar with one-
quarter cup cornstarch; add Iiquid
and cools in double boiler until thick-
ened; add one tablespoon lemon juice,
one teaspoon butter and a few drops
of red colouring; then pour over
berries in pie shell. S'eive with a
little whipped cream or whipped
cheese.
If you want to make a snnilar pie
with gelatin, use the above procedure
except soaking a tablespoon of gela-
tin in one-quarter cup cold water and
dissolve ib in the hot juice, omit the
cornstarch and chill until syrupy,
then pour over berries. Let stand for
once -half hour in a cool place.
They are perishable though " and.
should be treated wisely. Use
strawberries as, soon as possible
'after gathering or purchasing, and
don't :wash ea hull them until just
before using.` It is wise to spread'
the berriea on a platter and keep in
the electric refrigerator.
No need .to mention the delight of
strawberries served 'au nature --
whole, unhulled berries served with
sugar and cream. No sugar and
cream? Here are two worthy sub-
stitutes which our folks think flatter
the flavour of the fruit. The first is
made by beating sufficient, milk into
cream cheese to make a sauce just
thin enough to pour; for the second
beat creamed cottage cheese flavour-
ed with orange juice with a rotary or
.electric beater until ,smooth, adding
enough top milk to make it a `pour'
sauce.
Grown ups get ast excited as
children over strawberry ice cream.
If its homemade you have all the
glory. - We're including two good
frozen desserts an the column,
Now when it conies to strawberry
shortcake; don't be hidebound, by
tradition! We admit that there pro-
bably is nothing better than the old
fashioned version—warm, Iight-as-a
feather biscuits; split and heaped
with crushed, sweetened berries --
but a slice of delicious butter cake
makes a pleasant change. And in-
stead of the usual cream, serve with
the whippedcream cheese.
In your enthusiasm for straw-
berry shortcake, don't neglect straw-
berry pie. Our favourite ismade this
way: select the choicest berries from
one quart box and cover the bottom
of a baked pie shell, Crush re-
maining berries and heat to scalding
red
Life that shall endless be.

That determines for you what degree

The best you can do may not be quite
enough
To defeat your opponents today;
Bub you never can lose, and you never

If you "put all you've got" in your

And the greatest reward that your

Is the fact that you stood to the

And you always were doing your

TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE
"SO FEW"
They fought from dawn to dusk
across the sky,
Thrust back the phalanx of Teutonic
might,
Heard without falter a far trumpet
call;
Knew well its import as' they passed
from sight.
Can memory 'scope those long -drawn
summer days
When freedom hung suspended by a
thread?
How e'er forget the few who barred
the way,-1-
Many,
ay,-4Many, each night, to join - the Im-
:mortal dead?
They point the way to that uncharted
bourn
From • whence no earthly traveller -
Whilreturns,
e Freedom stands; ensanguined,
but unbowed,
Undying witness to a deathless band.

NATURE'S 1VIODE$TY
"Let Nature be your teacher."
—Wordsworth.
Now trees are •robed in softest green
In the remotest wood,
While close beside song -birds are
seen
Rearing their little brood.
The buttercups are filled with dew;
Near paths the cattle tread,
There late the dandelion, too,'
Lifted its golden head.
Where down the dell in rhythmic trip
Or. stopped in glassy pools,
Go rills released from winter's grip;
The herd its thirsting cools.
All this is Nature's quiet - plan;
Here no intruder comes.
Removed far from the ways of mato,
Who beats his noisy drums.
What harmony is .theirs --of bird,
Of brook, of springing flower;
No jealous note here ever heard,
0 like, unlike to ours!

TAKE SNAPSHOTS—NOT POTSHOTS
80
Pictures that tell stories of the activities back home are the kind those
in the Service like to receive,
70WADAYS, esper?ially in face of
the shortage `of film, due to the
-
vast amounts used by the Govern-
ment, most amateur photographers
are not making random shots but
are confining their picture taking
to specific subjects.
These '.'specific subjects," for the
most part, seem to be snapshots of
relatives- and friends to send to
those in the Service, and rightly so
because the receipt of a snapshot
from home is really a gala occasion
in the life of a soldier. It might be
truthfully, said, however, that too
many catnap owners take. "pot-
shots" instead of snapshots... pot-
shot, according to Mr. Webster's
definition, "requires neither skill nor
effort." It's true that no great skill
is required to take -a snapshot but
it does require a bit of mental effort
if you want a pleasing, appealing pic-
ture. You just can't point the cam-
era, snap the shutter, and 'call the
result a shapshot. In the majority
-
of cases it's going to be ijuSt an
other "potshot."
When picturing your friends and
family, the fast thing to do is to
select a suitable setting. One of the
most common faults of the average
snapshot is that it is made in poor
surroundings.' The photographer
may pose his subject in the beak -
yard with a background of clothes-
lines and..flapping towels. Or, he
may choose the front porch steps
and find in'the finished picture that
:i post, 10 protruding from the sub-
ject's head.
That matter of background is:real-
ly important.. An ideal aackgreund
is the sky, as you have noticed is
many excellent pictures. To achieve
that effect, try taking your picture
from a low angle rather than at the
usual eye level. And make it a habit
to always look beyond—and in front
-of your• subject"toj make sure that
no extraneous objects appear ]n
your viewfinder that may detract
interest from your principal sub-
ject. The sky, of course, is but one
of many suitable backgrounds. You
must be the. final judge, but always.
remember that anunattractive baek-
ground can spoil an otherwise good .,
picture.
Space won't permit going into -
details regarding the posing of your
subject but, to shorten a long story,,.
a relaxed, natural pose will yield
the most pleasing picture.
The technical end of snaOshoot-
ing is not mysterious or difacuit.
In every ease, just make certain
that your camera is `focused prop-
erly—so that your pictures will be
sharp and clear. And try not to jar
your camera when you press the
shutter .release.. Squeeze' gently,
don't jab suddenly: or hard.
Exposure is no problem with the
simplest type of camera; but with
more expensive models with adjust-
able shutter speeds and lens open-
ings, an. investment in a ten cent
outdoor exposure guide would be
worth while.
But most,,,important of all, con-
serve your flim for pietures from
home to send those in the Service.
