O KIM.; TEA mmoonnemo Thoughts For The Day By "PEG" One day .Jahn Wesley was walking along the road with a man, who was questioning God's goodness He $aid`"L don't -know what ]: am going 'to do with all this worry and trouble" .A.j that meihent Wesley noticed a row looking aver the fence. Be asked the man, "Do you know why the cow is looking over the fence?" "No," his troubled companion replied, • "Well, I will tell you" said Wesley" • ",because she cannot see through it, and that is what you must do with your wall of trouble, look over it 'and above it." How -many of'us waken in the morning with a terrible feeling of depression. We feel that something has happened and our minds travel back to our closing thoughts of the ' previous night. We face the future with fear., Everything looks black ahead of us. We cannot see any way • out of our difficulties, We. get up and start our day with the blackest thoughts. We are not in any mood for prayer. God has Then too we have the choice of forsaken us 'or He would never allow two other items between which we us to be so disturbed. He would not permit such things to come into our lives if He cared for us,- Has God forsaken us? No, never. In "all probability, the trouble has been brought on by our own careless- ness, but even should that be the case God will never forsake us. We have His promise that He will neve leave us nor forsake 'us. What we need is faith, the faith that wil lead us to depend on Him to fulfill His promise. No matter what our an- xiety is there is a promise to cover it and God will stand behind any promise He has given us. Oh, tha we had faith to just takeour trou bles to Him and leave them there lie wilr take care of their for us but if 'we are determined to pick them up and carry them away again, H will not hinder us although it wil grieve Hiin. We are free will agents We have oar choice, to persist in worrying over things or to lea them with Him to take care may choose: One is are we going; to sma71 families to raise howbravely Perhaps to petition, 1 ld a feeling of bitterness'over those t woith whom we come in contact or s will we cultivate love towards •our fellow beings.. If we are. determined to hold an animosity against other people whom is the greatest suffer- i er? We know by experience; that we are. We have heard.of people who for no apparent reason will pass someone whom they have known for , years on the street without speak- ing. The one who is ignored -has no idea what the trouble is; when it comes down to the fine thing in all 1'ikelihood. some gossip has carried a story in which there is no truth and without trying to verify the state- ment n't a break 1 has been made in e friendship which exised for years. It is 'easy indeed to find trouble, we do not need to look far for it. It is surprising what a short distance there is between peace and war. In one of his many writings Dr. Grenfell: told the following story— "In Labrador we have no penny, blood curdling -novels and five tions of a newspaper a day. Lots of our boys cannot read or write. But. € then, can endure hl .ardnes$ like good ,soldiers. Last winter one day, a boy of fifteen was left with two teams of huge wolfish Eskimo dogs while r I the doctor and his men travelled off to kill some deer. He was warned not I to move or they would possibly be lost. As it happened, the men got parted by a heavy snow storm and only found a house fifty, miles away on the third day .after. They at once t sent a gang of men to look for the -. boy. Do you think he had run away • in all that long time and during those dark, cold nights? Not a bit of it!

If we persist in taking that attitude the time will come' when the Lord . will have no place for us. Are we busy or are we lazy?

A square of plain biscuit dough was then folded around each, dampening the edges to seal in juices. They were steamed over boiling water for 50 minutes and served with a diluted honey syrup. Apple crisp is a super delicious dessert, although it requires a little more sugar. Eight apples were sliced into a buttered casserole and covered with the following ingredi- ents that were crumbled together: 1 cup white sugar, 11, cup flour, 3 tbsp. hard butter, 1/ tsp. mace and 1/ tsp. cloves. A half cup of water should be poured down the side and the pudding should be vaked in an electric oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. There were then two .apples and two tablespoons of sugar left and these .were used to snake a Dutch apple cake. ' The method used for the cake was: Measure and mix, 2 cups flour,' 3 tsps. baking powder, 'Vs tsp. salt. Cut in 14 cup' butter, stir in 2/3 cup' milk and a beaten egg.

HAVE you ever found yourself looking out an open window on a rainy afternoon, wishing that you had something interesting to do to while away the thne? Chances are you have. The next time this'happens take advantage of the opportunities to brush up on your _indoor picture -taking tech- nique. It's ech-nique..It's more than an even bet that there are several new, good subjects around. The distribution of flood and flash type lamps is still limited. So; if you are among the "have nota" it's no great cause for concern, because you can do a thoroughly creditable job with home -lighting lamps- in your ,photographic reflectors, if you can persuade your subjects to be quiet for a few necessary seconds during the exposure. . With two inexpensive paper tYpe reflectors which you can purchase from most photographic dealers, you will need two regular house lamps, one 60 -watt and one 100 -watt. Put the 60 -watt lamp in the "camera light" reflector (see diagram) and the 100 -watt lamp in the side light reflector. The latter should be a little higher than the 'subject's head, and at about a 45° angle to a line drawn between camera and subject. Place the camera light as close to the Camera as possible. The lights should he the same distance from the sub- ject, Now, let's assume that you have the subject all arranged, the lights: set up, and the camera, loaded with. an extremely' fast panchromatic film. All you need to know now is the length of time the shutter has . to be open to se- cure a good ex- posure. All right, there it is in the table below, sev- eral exposure poriods for each of three lamp-to-sulbject distances. By using one 100 -watt lamp and one 200 -watt you can shorten theseex posures by half. If you are using a box camera or any other camera having a single lens, make the exposure for the appropriate period shown after Here's wishing you good picture taking! But please remember: That chap you see only when he has a furlough still rates snapshots from home as well as those precious letters.
