Life Is A Stage
9"."."4.0.4 B7 "PEG" ros
Life is indeed a stage' and just
hat part are we playing on that
tage?
As we look back over history we
ind so many acts, so to speak which
ave been,"put on by different peo-
le. There have been noted men and
omen who have played their Fart
nd have shown to their audience,
he world, that they have "learned
eir lines", and were willing to
make the "show" of their life a
success. Then there are those who
have done their very best to make
life miserable for themselves and for
everyone else. They have so lived
that they have been Public Enemy
No. 1. In some instances they have
ended their lives in .a prison cell.
A friend recently in diseribing
her home life said her Father and
Mother were .Scots and their home
training was according the old time
bringing up. The day opened and
closed with the reading of God's
word. Ifthere was more of that done
to -day there would •be less difficulty
with our young. people and our older
ones as well. Can we look back over
our young days and our home life
and say in all sincerity, "My bring-
ing up was very strict. We were not
allowed to play on the streets till all
hours of the night. We could go to
the corner in the summer time and
enjoy the evening with other children
but whenthe lamp iwas lit at the
cornerwe had to go home. If we did
not it would not' be long until , our
father would be standing there and
we joined him and walked ,en home
telling him all -that had happened.
Truly life is a stage and We play on.
that platform` from the time we—are
born until we close our eyes ere we
depart to the next world.
As we look at a. a baby or young
child we at times wonder' just What
parrt they will be playing on the
stage of life. A little child begins, to
learn his or her lines as soon as they
open their eyes in this world: A
doctor who had just brought a�tiny
life into 'r the world remarked that
child knows nothing. What he learns
you must` teach him. Parents do you
realize the responsibility- that is
yours when you accept the tiny life
God gives you? One can tell pretty
much how a child is being brought
up by the way they act in company.
If they are allowed to do what they
like at home they will do the same
thing when out. So often a' mother
will say "George and I' can never
have a peaceful evening now. Little
Grant will not go to bed until we do
and he gets tired and cross."A
friend said to her, "Well now Mary,
just whose fault is that? Let me tell
you a story of our Ian." When I
became able to look after him, for
months, I felt I had to go up and lie
down with him until he went to sleep.
He was a restless child and at times
I would be an hour or more trying
to get him to sleep. His aunt used to
tell me how foolish I was as I was
just spoiling the evening for Jim
and I. We had some one staying with
us and could quite safely have left
him. After this had gone on for
months his aunt said one day, "Let
me put' Ian to bed' for two or three
nights. You go up with him and see
that he is alright then come right
away". 1 knew I was spoiling Jims
evenings so decided to try it. I will
never forget that first night.,' fixed
him comfortably and said good-
night to him and' went down stairs.
Such a crying and pleading as there
was from the Tittle fellow, "Mummy
come a -get de baby, Mummy, come a
get de baby". I started up stairs
several times but his aunt, who
really knew it was for the best sat
on the top step and talked me out of
it. Finally Ian quieted down and
went to sleep. The next night we
went through the same performance
but it was not so bad and that was.
the end of it. Ian had two boys of
his own now and there is none of
that nonscience with them. I was
not used to children. Ian was our
first and only child and 1 had no
idea they could be trained so early
in life. I have often recalled the
doctors words. Even babies 'play
their part on the stage of life. If
parents allow them to have their
own way in everything -they will rue
it. Mary you will have to conquer
your child before Inc gets ahead of
you and starts on a downward•course
which will spell ruin for him." •

dress before a men's club declared
that he could, not recall ever hearing

Time after time the axe must bite into the trunk
before the mighty oak comes crashing down to
earth. Your purchase of Victory Bonds, small
though it may seem, when added to those bought
by tjie thousands of other Canadians, Will roll up
the vast total required to finish the war and begin
the job of reconstruction.
No one must shirk his task. Only with the fullest
effort of each individual will the new high objective
for Canada's Eighth. Victory Loan be reached.

'rendly Welcome
Everybody knows what a comforting
thing it is to have money where ypu, can
get it when you need it. So, in most
homes, the Victory Loan salesman gets a
cordial welcome. He offers an oppor-
tunity to you to help your country's war
effort by just saving your money. In case
of emergency you can get cash for your
bonds at any bank ... but you know that
when you put savings into Victory Bonds
they will likely stay there, intact
drawing good interest. Your savings are
protected from your own temptation to
use them. Buy all the Victory Bonds you
can, with all the cash you have.
Buy More Victory Bonds. on
the Deferred Payment Plan
With Money. as You Get It!
And, to give yourself an objective to add
to your savings, obligate yourself to
buy more Victory Bonds on the deferred
payment plan. Make a first payment of
iO% or more when you order the bonds
..: and pay the balance with money as
you get it, over a period of six ni'onths.
Your Victory Loan salesman will give
you a copy of the letter on the right. It
is a request to your bank to buy bonds for
you. Any bank willlend.you the money
to do this and the interest the bonds
earn pays the interest on the bank loan:

of his children. This reference was
made to illustrate the speakers topic
which was in substance. "The superi-
ority of Example to command in in-
fluencing the young."'
When a Father or Mother sit at
,home of Sunday reading the paper
or passing the time in some other
way and send their son or daughter
to Sunday School it does not carry
much weight, but if parents say
"come" it means very muck more in
a child's life. '
Recently one of the most revered
men of the British Isles passed to
the Great Beyond. Earl Lloyd George
of Dwyfor. He did not long live to
enjoy the . Earldom which was con-
ferred on him last January by King
George. Those who had the privilege
of seeing David Lloyd' George when
he was in Canada recall thekindly
face. He played a very important
part on the stage of life., He started
life without any advantages. When
'he entered .parliament he was an
unknown Welsh Solicitor at the age
of 27 and rose from there to the
position of Prime Minister during the
war of 1914-191$.
The following is a good motto for
parents:
('I am the child.
You. hold in your hand my destiny
You determine largely, whether
I shall succeed or fail."
We might compare a cliild'S life to-
e spider's web. We learn from science
that one thread of a spiders web
will boar a weight seventy-four.
times the weight of a spider itself
before it will break. If a spider were
to let itself down from the ceiling
spinning a single thread, there would
be no danger of it falling for tha'e
thread would hold not only itself but
seventy-four other spiders of the
same weight before it would break,
So too there is great power in an
innocent child. They do not need to
stand on a platform to say a piece,
but many a parent has been led to
Christ through their little son or
daughter. At times a playmate will
take a .child from. a home where
Christ is unknown, . to a Sunday
-School. There the child will learn
about Jesus Christ and will go home
and tell the story to parents to
whom Christ means nothing and that
dear little soul may Inc the means of
bringing one or both parents to
Christ. It may be they do not just
"understand what has been said to
them but at any rate they carry the
message of Christ.
One of the. most beautiful things,
apart from Scripture is that saying
by M. L. Hoskins which was quoted
so beautifully by our King. "A man,
standing at the gate of the year
asked for a light to go into the un-
known." He was willing to play his
part but wanted a light and -the
author says, ,"Go out into the dark-
ness and put your hand into the
hand of God. That shall .be to you
better than light and safer than the
known .way." How much easier it
will be for us to act our part, as
Christ.would want ns to if we put our
hand in itis and ask Him to guide us.
He will prompt us if we keep in
touch with Him in prayer. •
It is told of the great Scotch Sur-
geon; Sir lames Simpson, that Inc
was once, spoken to by a young man
who wished to compliment him by
asking what Inc regarded as his
greatest discovery. The simple reply
of the eminent scientist was, "My
greatest discovery is that I am a
great sinner and that Jesus is a
great Saviour."
A short time ago a man who". had
been a circus .elown-in one of the big
tent Shows walked into , the dressing
room where-, he collapsed and died.
Being a clown had been Ms life work
for 30, years. He was paid for it
but there are many who play their
partin a similar way and they keep
at ; it until overtaken by death even
although not paid in coin. •

should give the thought much prayer
and consideration. As we aet in life
here we are preparing for the past
we will be entitled to in the next
world. There may .be a great deal of
pretence in our life here put there
will be none there. All that will stop
when the angels of death•knocks at
our door and hands us the message
from our Saviour to come to Him.
There we will be judged and we will
be appointed our place on the stage
of Heaven or Hell. Where we will go
is our own choosing.
"Lead me to that Rock, oh, mighty
Saviour,

Lord!
Quench my thirst from springs of
