By
Perhaps never in the history ef the
world has there been greater need for
the guidance of the youth of our.,
land on the Sabbath Day than there
is to -day.
Two friends were recently discus-
sing the problem of closing the Sun-
day Schools during the summer
months. The one brought up the point
that in years gone by such things
would not happen. There would' be
no difference between"summer and
winter,' The School of the ehurch
would be carried on and teachers and
scholars would be present unless in
case of siekness. Everyone eonsider-
•ed it a privilege to be able to attend

money into homes such as td. erip
never was before. People save 'their

and away they go to their own or a
rented summer cottage. It matters
:not that some are Sunday School'

teachers and that the members of.
their .class are roaming the streets.
We thoroughly believe in people hav-
ing pleasure but have those who have
undertaken to teach Hod's word to
His little children' any right to go
away Sunday after Sunday. The
problem of teaching in our church.
schools to -day is much different to
what it was twenty-five, thirty and
forty years ago. Then there were no
cars to take people away. Fathers
and Mothers and their children went
to church and Sunday School, now
the week is spent in' planning what
they' can do ever the week end. It
is Iittle concern of many parents
whether their children ever see the
inside of church er Sunday School. It
is really a serious !natter and it will
be more serious for us when we
stand before the Judgment seat of
Christ and have to account for the
misuse we have made of His day and
the way we have brought an the
children He has loaned to us to bring
up for Him. We may think of these
lightly now, but if we continue the
way we are going it will certainly

If you have seen the folly of .your
ways it may be it is yet not too late
to persuade them to do what is righti 1
for the responsibility rests on you
and you will have to account for it.
The fact that you are a good woman
or good marc makes no difference.
God has made laws concerning His
day and each one of us must follow
those rules or none of the promises
of God's ;word will be appjicable to
us. Stop, Look and Listen before it
is too late.
We who are or have been
Sunday
School teachers, if we have gone
about it in the right way, have re-
ceived a.great deal of pleasure out ef
the work. We cannot give just any-
thing to the scholars. When -they go.
to God's House they want His word;
His commandments 'and, His promi-
ses. Some of our happiest !memories
are of the days when we started to
Sunday School in the infant class.
Personally we recall our first teacher
who was the Minister's wife. The
first hymn we learned- was "When
Mothersof Salem". Never in later
years was that hymn ever sung but
the mind travelled back to that' in-
fant room and the sweet face of our
teacher.
At that time unless it was sick-
ness nothing was allowed to- keep ns
away front Sunday School, in fact
we had no desire to go any where
but there. There was no going for a
walk after Sunday School.. Should
that Happen it was a. very great
exception. When we arrived home we
sat with our parents and read verse
about from God's Holy ward. In our
young days we went to church in
the morning, but we were not very
old when we went twice. When we
were old enough, during the week, we
were •taught .the lesson for the next'
Sunday and almost the last thing.

peas out of .seven which were pro-

Answer: The cooker should. have
been placed: on the large electric
element instead' ef the small one
because the one side might not
have been receiving the same amount
of heat. The jarsshould not be
placed in a draft to coo]. The two
jars may have cooled too quickly.

NATURALNESS IN YOUR PICTURES
Get natural appeal In your snapshots. Avoid stiff poses.
BACK in the early days of pliotog-
+-raphy, the sufajee —or should we
say "victim"—of the portrait plotog-
replier was placed in an uncom-
fortable chair, told to situp straight,
and "don't move" and then a clamp
was placed at the back of his head.
That was posing to the hath degree
—and the pictures looked it.
Well, Home of the snapshots you
see in these modern days are almost.
as unnatural:If you look through
the average snapshot album You
will find that many of the pictures
are obviously posed. Here's how it
happens. Aunt Minnie comes to visit
from out ...of town. Of course you
want a picture of her for your album.
as well as an extra print to send to
brother Joe in the Service because
it will bring him a bit of cheer from
home.
So you tell Aunt Minnie to stand
in front of the front door steps—
and""hold still." You snap the shut-
ter, either, develop and .point your
own pictures, or ,send them to a
aget
photofinasher, and what do you
in return? A picture, to be sure,
but look at it. There's your Aunt
Minniewith, some porch steps serv-
ing as background in the lower part
'of the picture, and higher up .'a
-post, which supports the roof of the
porch, protruding from one shoulder
while the door knob, showing up at
the side of her head, gives her a
"cauliflower" ear. And as far as
Aunt' Minnie is concerned, she is
standing there as. straight and ex-
pressionless, as a wooden Indiana w
That's not the way to get inter-
esting snapshots.' If you want pie-

eryday, things that your subjects
may do. Tell Aunt Minnie, -.for ex-
ample', that you waht to get a pic-
ture of her knitting a sweater or a
pair of socks for the Red Cross. Or
tell Uncle. John you would like a
picture of liim• checking over his
tithing tackle•in preparation.for the
opening of the season.
05 your subject is -a -child, beyond
the bsby stage, you can use varia-

instead' of telling Mary you want
to take her picture, tell her you

her doll she forgets about the ca-
mera and the result is an appealing

shot.
Any activity of a child or grown-
up can be• used as the idea for a
picture—and it's the familiar quality
of t'heso'everyday events that lends
naturalness to your snapshots. That,
incidentally, le the kind of picture
that those in the Service like to
receive.
