Some •of our most hoted writers, are men who spent nnuch time in reading God's •irord. The Bible is a wonderful Book as far as literature is concerned. Lord .Macauley states', "Whoever would acquire a know- ledge of pure English must study King James version' of the Scrip- tures". Thomae Carlyle says "the Book of Job is one of thy: greatest things ever written by a pen:" No poetry in literature has ever been written which is grander than the Psalms.

We shalt not ask that Gods may do our will, but that We may be en- abled to do the. will of God; and we dare to believe tilrat God has used our nation and Empire as aninstru- ment for fulfilling His high purpose. If from every place of worship, from home, and factory, from men and women of all ages and many races, and occupations, our intereessions rise, then, please God, both now and in the future not remote the predic- tions of an ancient psalm may be fulfilled: The Lard will give strength unto His people: the Lord will give His people the blessing of peace". The Royal family is one which is greatly admired for the standing which they have all taken on the side of Christ. The Bible is their daily Companion. Will we not make it ours, not next year, next month, in the days to come, but right now. We read through the history of the New Testament where Christ was once the Babe of Bethlehem. He worked hard and helped his, earthly father in, the blasksmitlhj shop, when twelves years of age he taught the wise men in the temple and when thirty years old he Started out to preach tie gospel of love. After three years of hard .work during which He received little sympathy He was crucified on the cross in order that we might have Eternal life With Him hi Its Home in Hea- ven. He rose from the dead andnow sits at the right hand of God where He continually makes intercession- for ntercessionfor us. Can there be any doubt in our minds as to the truth of the Bible whic1i 'sets forth these state- ments. Christ has promised these things for us and He will fulfil His promises. We have His word over nineteen hundredyears and they are just as true as they were when• He gave tl>lem to us. All we have rmemory-of knowing that your son or 'daughter thus valued God's word? `Has your child of no matter what age requested that you .. would give him a Bible as a Christmas. or Birth- day gift and you refused to do it?

[bFieSN - PSIS T GUI LD 0 E Pk•IPORTANCE OF PROPER FOCUSb8 Of course you want prints to send to those in the Service, so In order to get clear, sharp pictures, focus carefulty, measuring your distance for close-ups; then your results will be much more pleasing. PROPER and careful focusing can do a lot to improve the quality. of your pictures. Once you under- stand a few'simple tricks of focus control, you can take pictures with a great deal more confidence, and be sure of getting sharpness where you want it. When there is just one subject in your picture, focusing is ,of course extremely simple. You merely de- termine the distance from subject to camera, set the focus scale at that distance mark, and shoot. Suppose, however, there are two or more subjects, at different dis- tances, as in the picture which ac- companies this article. Then you compromise, by 'setting the focus somewhat beyond the nearest sub- ject. In the picture shown here, the Photographer focused on the grand- mother's left shoulder. '('hen by re- ferring to the •depth -of -field table in his camera instruction book, he selected the lens opening that would just cover the subject at the chosen focus setting. Of:'course, a similar result could have been obtained by focusing on some other point -say the arm of thechair-then using a somewhat smaller lens ,opening. But for prac- tical purposes and to get proper distribution , of sharpnees, foeusing on a midway point for a subject of this kind is the thing to do. The picture is a close-up, and since depth of field is always lir- ited in close-up shots, such "com- promise" focusing is most helpful. But it is also u'setul in shots whore You want everything sharp from "in- finity" to fairly near the camera. If you will examine the depth -of - field table in your camera manual, you will see that for many subjects there is little point in setting the ' lens at "Infinity." By setting it for some nearer point, as indicated in the table, you can get near objects sharper—and still retain sufficient sharpness in distant objects. In cases where youneed con- siderable depth of field, yet want to keep the exposure time short, high speed film is a great advantage. It allows you to use a much smaller lens opening than if you were using a slow film—thereby giving a much sleeper zone of sharpness. Often, however, you don't want everything sharp. In a close-up of. a person, for example, it may, be. best to show the background at least slightly out of focus, Then you should have the subject fairly well separated from the background, focus on the nearest, part of the subject's face or head, and use the largest possible lens' opening. The closer you are to' the subject, and the greater the 'distance between background and subject, the more you can diffuse background detail. Carefulmeasuring of distances is essential for accurate focusing, es- pecially in close-ups. A photographic range finder is the most convenient measuring device.' Practice focusing—and focus care- fully before shooting. It's animpor--` tint aspect of good picture -taking. John van Guilder
