ch is the faith of a general of
six years, but the r ame faith

nple of that "Rosemary, one of
little girls sent out from London

clave we got the faith of either
neral Dobbie or little Rosemary,
• it is the same faith. Manyof ust
we look into our lives 'must ask-'
wledge that. our faith would not
ind up under trials, such as the
habitants of- devestated countries
ve stood up under.
Many times we are faced with
obtems that we in our own streng-
'cannot solve. The only way to face
e is with a faith hi our Saviour.

here was just a second between,,

gyre many, many remarkable instan-
ts of answers to prayer. Every
are Christians .who . are not true to
the Cause of JesusChrist. It is for
us to look into our lives and answer
that question for ourselves. No one
else can do it for us although it has
been 'often said by people who are
evading the all ,important' question,
"What must, I do to be' saved", that
they do not want the religion of some'
professing Christians It is true `that
we do not all live up, to the vows
we have taken, but we must never
judge Christ by the followers who
at times represent Hilo, Do not 'try
to follow any earthly personbutlook
only to the Saviour Who died that
we might have eternal life. May our
faith in Iiiin carry us on .from day
to day.
God's plans will never be defeated,
but we must ask Him to guide us
into His ,plans and to be' agreeable
to Hie will. .If we will not. ask Him
to becomepart ofour lives, we can-
not hope:te have a future which will
be in any way satisfactory to our-
selves. General Dobbie said, "Is
God going to be included in our
plans ,for the future? Our nafions
won't be on a firm foundation if
God is left out, We must :help others
to get en that firm ground. We
must face up to this challenge. As
the situation improves are we going
to forget Him. We're apt t'o." '
Trust in God is +Christ's sure cure
for worry. When we giveourselves
to Christ then we have the privilege
of trusting Him, 'but until then we
have no claim en our Sayiour;to help
lis' in anyway no more than we can
expect our earthly father to help
us if we absolutelyy refuse to work
in co-operation sOth Eirn. How.
foolish we are in these matters. Our
acceptance in. Him gives the beginn-
ing of
# anew life and what a happy
life it is. There are many tunes
when we become discouraged but we
can go to. Him in prayer, acknow-
ledging our faith in Isis promises.
and taking them' for our very own
as Christ intended we should and
our future is assured. If we have not
done thin let us right now pray that
our Saviour and Guide will come into
our lives. As death is only a matter
of a, second so is Everlasting Life,
but where are we going to §pend"that
Eternal life? Will it be with Christ
or His adversary. The choice is ours
and ours alone.

Hello Homemakers! This week
we have devoted, the column to. Chil-
dren's Parties. We were thinking
especially of St. Patrick's Day, but
you will find the following recipes
useful in onteitaining the .young-
sters iaespeetive of the occasion.
CUSTARD
3 eggs, y4 cup sugar, i/, tsp. salt,
3 cups milk, -1 tsp. vanilla.
Beat eggs slightly, add the sugar
and salt and mix well. Add the
scalded' milk :.gradually, stirring con-
stantly: Add vanilla and pour into
custard cups. Place in pan of hot
Water and bake in electric oven at
300 degrees for 45 minutes or until
let (6 servings). Top each custard
with a green •maraschino cherry.
ST. PATRICK'S ICE CREAM
Mr. William M. Birks of Montreal,
Chairman of the Canadian United
Allied: Relief Fund, issued an appeal
today to all ethnic groups in Canada
to energetically support and work
for the campaign of The Canadian
Red Cross Society. Mr. Birks was
speaking ,on behalf of The Belgian
War ;Relief Fund, Canada -France
Relations Committee, Canadian Aid
to Russia, Canadian Friends of Lux-
embourg, The Chinese War Relief
Fund, Czechoslovak War Charities
Fund, Greek War Relief Fund, Neth-
erlands Relief Fund, Norwegian Re-
ief Fund, United Polish Relief Fund
and Yugoslav Relief Fund, who are
members of the Canadian United
Allied Relief Fund.
Born • of the urgent need to send
relief to the long-suffering civilian
population of Allied countries, and
the practical desire to raise the
necessary funds from the people of
Canada in Such a way as not to mul}.
tiplyunnecessarily the appeals to
their generosity, it was decided to
adopt the principle of the Commun-
sty Chest. In other words, instead of
conducting eleven separate drives.
for the relief of the people of eleven
Allied nations, they would .be com-
bined . in one National Campaign,
and the proceeds divided on, an equit-
able plan among the victims of Nazi
occupation.
The rest of the story is told by
Mr. Birks of Montreal, at the head-
quarters of the Fund, 130 Queen
Street, Ottawa.
"The Canadian "United Allied Re-
lief Fund," said Mr. Birks, "is made'
up of representatives of the relief
organizations of Belgium, Norway,
Greece, Poland, Russia, China, Yugo-
slavia, Czechoslovakia, France, Lux-
embourg and the Netherlands, and
its purpose is to workout ways and
means of•'securing ford, clothing and
medicines for these who are in des-
perate need

der• and salt, Fold dry ingredients
s "The first step," Mr. Birks went
on to say, "obviously is the collec-
tion of funds, for the CUARF is
dependent entirely upon private ben-
evolence, unlike UNRRA which is
entirely supported .by Governments.
From the outset it was realized that
it would be a waste of time and
effort to build up an • organization
of our own to conduct a National
Campaign when such an organization
already existed, with years of prac-
tical experience behind it. We, there-
fore, with, the entire approval of the
Government,took the matter up
with The Canadian Red- Cross Socie-
ty, and a plan• was worked out under
which The Red Cross would com-
bine ear relief purposes with their
own, and conduct the campaign with
the whole -hearted assistance of the
CUARF and its member organise-,
tions.

TO ALL PERSONS' PLANNING TO MOVE TO
Victoria, • Vancouver • New Westminster
Hamilton Toronto • Ottawa • Hull
As part of a plan to meet congested conditions, all persons
who propose to rent or .occupy family quarters in any of
these Emergency Shelter Areas are required by Board order
first to obtain a permit from the Administrator of Exner-
gertcy Shelter for the district.
The purpose of the order is to help those who must be
in these areas to obtain necessary accommodation.
Before completing arrangements to move to any of
these districts, write to the Administrator for full parti-
culars of the Emergency Shelter Regulations as they apply
• to that district.
THIS IS THE LW
No person may moves to and tent or occupy
family quarters in any of these districts witkout
an Administrators permit (Form E.S. 1).
Every . person who rents or occupies family quarters in
any of these districts contrary to the order, commits ars
• " ° offence and, fin addition to other penalties,- will be required
by the Administrator to vacate the shelter and the district
at his own expense.
The Emergency Shelter Regulations provide serious penalties for hindering
or obstructii g these efforts and for any contravention of the regulations
or of an order of the Board or of the Administrators.
• THE WARTIME PRICES AND
Mr. Birks, "that this relief agency
represents in a very practical way

lion Canadians of European origin

tress in their old' homelands, and no

THE LITTLE ROAD OF IRELAND
The little roads of Iceland
Go wandering up and down
Through pleasant hills and valleys,
And.o'er wild boglands brown;
Sometimes.. they wind unending
By cliffs alongthe sea;
And the little roads of Ireland
Are very dear to me.
The haunted 'roads of Ireland
Are eerie in the night,
When twisted hawthorn bushes
Are odorous and 'white:
And though 'mid scenes of beauty
In distant paths I roam,
The little roads of Ireland,
Still ever call me :home. •
