'From -the 'time we open ,our eyes in
the morning 'until we close 'them tot
sink' into slumber fat night, 'we are
:continuallymaking choice between
mag
a
one thing and another. The alarm
• clock rings its warning and we (Mt:
tide whether we will getup or not;
we choose between the dress or suit
'we are going to: wear to business;
we decide what we will have for
' breakfast; then are we going to
hurry to catch the first car or will
we wait for the second one.
We reach the office or our place of
employment and the same thing goes
on there, "What 'will I do?" is a
continual question and so it goes on
hour after hour. Our evenings are
for the most part a matter of chol.:e
as is the time we retire,
Thus we go through one day, to
be followed by another, then on into
the weeks and years.
There are .many big choices which
• we 'must make in our lives. Our
early choices are usually made by
Mir parents or guardians. They, as a
rule, plan what school we will attend.
Just at this particular time Mother
and Father are taking over the be-
ginning of the Education of their
little five year olds. Early some
September morning the little son or
daughter will be aroused earlier
than usual, togged out in clothes
which were picked out the night be-
fore and Mother or Daddy will take
the little one by the hand and will
walk with him to the big school
where he 'will be' introduced to the
teacher with whom he will begin his
Education.
Routine studies are followed for
some years, then there is the prob-
lem of future studies. Will the youth
go into mechanical work, will he go
on and matriculate prior to entrance
to university to take up a profession
or will he take up commercial work?
It is just one continual choice after
another.
At this stage of the' life of. achild
yr youth, parents very :often make
a mistake, It may he that some
parents wish their son to enter a
profession. They have the ready
money to put him ' through college.
At the sane time the son does not
want a profession. He may be
mechanically inclined : or : vice versa.
Quite often just at this period of a
youths life a big mistake is Math..
There are peen in the ministry who
are not there of^ their own, ehoice.
The parents felt they wanted a
minister among their sons and John
was chosen for it. John felt he was
not called to preach the gospel, but
rather than be a disappointtnent%to
his parents he went through with it
It was not his choice and he made a
miserable fail re of it. In the same
way many girls want to go into
office work but it is decided for her
that she must teach school. It is all
done in good part by the Mother and
Father, but it is .a sad mistake.
Parents, allow ybur son or 'daughter
to have some say in what they want
to do. Sonia children just absolutely
refuse to take up the plan of their
parents and do well along the line
of their own choosing. Thebest
thing to do is for all •conserned to
stake the subject a matter of prayer.
God will clear the way for the choice
to be made.
Then there is the other side bf it.
So many children feel that they want
to leave school years before they
should. Do not be too :determined
along this line. A youth or young
man or ; woman shouldtake all the
education their parents can afford to
give them. Do • not be too hasty in
your decision to be one thing or
another. You have your life before
you and you should try' to snake the
very best of the years which are
ahead of you. Do not imagine becatf-
se you are fifteen or sixteen that
you know all that is to be known.
Spealdng kindly there are many
things which youths of that age do
not know. Content yourself and -take
every particle of education you can
get. This is an age when education
is necessary. Those who are not well
educated must take second• place. As
a- rule the young: people who have
refused to go on to school have, be-
fore many years are. over regretted
the stand they have taken. If that be
so we do not need to go on uneducat-
ed. We can take night courses or
correspondence coin'ses. It is harder
than if we ,had gone on to school in
the f.rst,place, but lie can attain the
standing we wish by persevering.
There are many things beside
education where we need to exercise
the privilege of ' choice. We find our
young men and women quite early
in life, choosing a partner for their
future. What terrible mistakes some
of thorn are making' in these days of.
crisis! Do try and think seriously
about these things. It is not matter
of weeks, but it is a life time. Some
young people are marrying and they
have not known ,one another more
than a few days. The results of
'hasty marriages in the last war
should be a lesson to our young
people of to -day. Will we never learn
these things. God grant that we ,will
before it is too late.
The question of marriage leads
us. back to the friends we make.: So
many boys and girls. . even pick up
with children who lead them' into
temptation or visa versa. At this
thine of year we find children going
into gardens and breaking down
limbs trim fruit trees. A little lad
recently got into the hands of the
law through such playing with bbys
belonging to a family where the
parents , had little control over the
!children. They had all been climbing
!the fence and stealing although the
first lad had been warned of what
• would happen to him if he persisted
in playing with the other boys. ' It
is easy to make friends either • good
or bad. Let us strive to choose our
friends among those who will build
us up rather than pull us down.
A journalist tells of how he seated
himself among some soldiers of the
Allied Nations. One British Tommy
spoke very highly of the leaders .of
the ,different armies. He said, "In
this war the big boys are right
down there in the midst of things
with the 'nen—and that guy Mont-
gomery prays! My Captain seen 'im
rray. My Captain was. going to
Mc'nty's unit one morning in Africa.
The tont flap was open and the
general, we eall 'int Monty, was
right down on his knees praying.
On a table in front of 'im was e
Bible—wine open". "Can you beat
that?" cane the eager response of
an American. Soldier who was sitt-
ing' with us.
How wonderful it is for our. Hien
in the forces to have leadership such
as that. There is a friendship there
which means a real fellowship with
God. General Montgomery had made
his choice. He is a follower of the
!meek and lowly Jesus.
Does it occur to us that we each
have a very great choice to make in
'life? There are two masters either
of whom we must serve, one. is Jesus
Christ, who died for us and who
has made intercession for us in
;Heavenly places, 'the other is His
•adversary—the devil Who for os in
Heavenly places, the other is His
' adversary, the devil who with his
demons tries every way' possible to
make us do what is wrong so that
We will deny our Lord and will have
to spend eternity with. him in his
prepared place- of torment. The
choice is ours. Christ wants us 'to'
join with His angelic host ' but He
will not force us to.
To -day there are hundreds of our
young men and women who are fac-
ing an earthlyfoe on the field of
battle. Have they made their del
cision? It may be they deft Some
Young people of the world ' since
Then perhaps they have stet thein
Saviour, Have their parents bothered
to ask them about this important
question? Many of these young peo-
ple havecome from homes where
Christ was never spoken of and it
may he the young man .or woman in
the forces is just a little shy to tell'
them that in some way they have
become a follower of the 'Lord.
A recent letter from •one of the
young men in the forces carries its
own message "I will let Dad know
that if I do not come back I will'be
safe in His kt;eping, All the time
and especially now we need the
Lord's guidance and aid. He alone
willlead us through." One can well
imagine that that letter will be
prized and kept i, the home.
Parents make it a point to find
out' just where your son or daughter
is in this all important question. It
matters not whether they are in the
forces or out of it. Acts 16:13 tells
us the only way we can be saved,
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved. We must
make the choice but let us da it at
once. This second is ours, the next
may find us in Eternity.
"To every than there openeth
A way, and ways and a way,
And the high soul climbs the bight
way,
And the low soul gropes the low;
And in between, on the misty flats,
The rest drift to and fro, •
But to every man there openeth
A high way and a low,
And every man decideth
The way his soul shall go."

TAKE A TIP
1. Wringers for washing :machines
are valuable. May we remind you of
the simple precautions that prevent
service work and loss of this labour
saver.
Wringers should be set at the
proper, pressure for the thickness of
the clothes. Too heavy a load may
lock the rolls and evert strip the
gears. As soon as the "wringing
out" is finished release the rollers.
Oil ruins rubber. Do not spill any
on the rubber parts of the :machine—
if this happens clean off immediate-
ly with soap and water. Do not use
any abrasive on stained rubber. Try
to take as much as possible -off
with baking soda and water.

PICTURING OUTDOOR'ACTIVITIES �-7b
Take advantage of the summer months to picture outdoor activities.
S' UMMER is the time for swim-
ming, Boating, fun on the water;
and wherever there is fun these
days, there's room for your camera,
' to record the activities.
Let nue caution you, however,
about your picture taking. Film, as
you know, is hard to get now be-
cause war needs require so much.
Conserve it. And, by that I mean,
don't waste it. If you have a box
type, camera, for example, don't try
to take a picture of a diver zoom-
ing through the air, people playing
leapfrog on the beach, or any other
even moderately fast action pic-
tures. You'll simply be wasting your
film because your subject will be
blurred. ,If you have a folding type
camera with, a shutter having vari-
able speeds, watch your exposures
and be sure to change the settings
when moving from a brightly lighted.
area to one in the shade. In other,
words—think before you shoot.
However, I want to give you a few
suggestions on taking pictures at
the swimming pool or beach, pic-
tures while sailing, and hints on
making more appealing water views
and scenics.
• The main thing to remember about
beach: and water 'pictures 18 that
open water is bright. It reflects an
immense amount of light, so you.
must take care not to overexpose,
your film.
Toprevent overexposure, use a
smaller lens' opening or 'a higher
shutter speed than you do on ordi-
narysubjects. For scenic pictures on
the beach, in brilliant sunlight with
average -speed filth, the proper ex-
posure is 1/25 of a second at f/22.
This would be equivalent to the
small lens opening on a box camera.
Better still, use 1/50 at1/16 to avoid
any chance of camera or subject
movement causing a blurred picture.
When there are people in the pic-
ture, or areas of shadow, it is better
to use 1/50 at f/11. This would. be
about the same as the large lens
opening on the box camera. 1/100 at
f/11 is recommended if the action
is fairly rapid.
These lens openings, too, give you
a decided advantage. The smaller -
the lens opening, the more "depth of
field" or range of sharpness,. you
have, and the easier it is to get all
objects in your picture in focus.
There are scores of picture oppor-
tunities at the beach—snapshots of
beach games, members of your crowd
splashingaround in the water, duck-
ings, water fights, medicine-balltoss-,'-
ing diving pictures; children dig-
ging; adults being buried in the
sand or napping under newspapers;
surf pictures; close-ups of sand'
castles; "pattern pictures" using
shadows in sand ripples; even the
puppy yipping at starfish or scam-
pering away from an inrushing wave.
Around a swimming pool, you will
also find interesting picture chances,
especially atthe diving tower. There
is one particular point to watch in
these pictures. You go to the beach
or pool to have fun, and so fun
should be emphasized in your pic-
tures. The people you picture should
be busy amusing themselves.
That's the type of snapshot that
has real human interest appeal—the
kind of snapshot to send to your
man in the Service.
