We regret that 'ytou will be leaving' our community to make your. future Home `We sball 'missyou, Mande, lbn t we ,: hope ae"-ygu make new friends, you'tvill net forget `the friends of yeurohliditood days, spent on the Tenth Conressiori.; Asa small token of our esteem Awesseweeeres ereareama esee ,So often 'in recent months we have heard the word retreat, How thankfulwo are to our Heavenly Father that the retreat has been on the 'pertsof the enemy, and, we also thank' God for the Wonderful way has .led ourmen-through difficult places. ,Most noticeable among these was the retreat from .Dunkirk and the ene from Greece. i fes there ever .been any disgrace 1>l,en =honorable retreat? No the shame would have been if our men bad been ordered to advance against fire. if there was really nothing to be, gained and, when perhaps many' lives would have been lost. • Our article •to-dayis not . on a military_ retreat but is on a retreat to God. One eannot retreat`andd' at he same time goy forwdttd' The war in Europe is over, but we still have a great =deal of fighting head of us. Our boys are even now repaying to go to Japan. How soon re we going to learn that until «g, retreat to God we will have to go on with .the awful suffering, ,Pony anxiety and suspense of this ar? Many from' the first had no ubt ,as to the ullimate outcome of the war, for the God, whom. vie vearshiir .is a just God, one. who always upholds the right and we old not for one instant think of Prim allowing the world to fie' dominated by anything' which' ,Wag not right. We feel that we have- simplyget to .get back •to God and that Leight speedily. -Our plans we know may not be God's plans but whatever is right to Him must conquer. The enemy has gone far in their' eonqueit, so farthat had we not a, strong faith in God we might have felt that all was lost but :we realize that Ile just allowed` the enemy • to go so far and no farther. Our God who is a righteous God has called a halt with a resultant retreat of the• enemy, a retreat which gave the allies an overwhelming victory. 'Some claim that Christ will soon come others that a new world .power not now in existence will eventually dominate the world. Things will re- quire a great deal of straightening out but as far as these things are concerned we know nothing we do' know, or at least we should know,' that we as individuals must make our peace with God. When .we de' that we have no need to fear the future, 'for He has promised that if we accept Him' we 'shall abide with' Him forever. Hew are we going to retreat to Christ? There is only one way "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." That means more than we think it does when we make our decision. It means giving up many things ,in which we now indulge. When we accept Christ as our Saviour we Will have no 'desire whatever for them. We will find our sufficiency. in Christ and the joys of the new life will make up many times for what we deem pleasure now. 'Then as churches we must retreat to Christ. The saintly men and wo- men who were the pioneers of our country, would 'were they living to- day, be astounded if they were to go into some of our 'churches and see what is going en. In olden times • preparatory ser- embarrasment. Even while sitting. in the pew ate we listening to the sermon or have our minds -been travelling all over the world. We can train our minds to take in a great deal of the ;semen.'Tilts ,be- comes 'all the more interesting if we talk' it over with the family when sp, we reach home. Space does not permit us to speak (,other ways in which we must retreat to God, but if we follow in these things here specified', the other vice was held, en Thursday of Friday and from then on until after the Thanksgiving service on the follow- ing Monday it was practically con- sidered as a Sabbath.The pioneers spent the greater part of the time ant , side 'ofabsolutely necessary work in meditation. and prayer. How much time do we spend in prayer before. attending the Lord's,supper? Do we take God's - word and read any. one of the passage' telling of the institution of the Sacrament, Do we ask God' to forgive us our sins and help us to live a good clean Life ';before we partake of the bread and wine which are symbolic of His body and shed blood. How much we miss if we do not do that. Let u9 have a quiet time with our Lord be- fore we partake of His Supper. , Con'tinuinp our talk on churches in comparison with the olden. days we give the•Preparatory Service any evening which is free after all the organizations belie chosen their' night: Sometimes this ;service is held as early as 'W'ednesday, when that is over there is little thought or 1preparation ; given to that service on .Sunday. We do not even take time to realize that the vows which we take when we join;the church should niean:a'very great deal to us. The difficulty with us is that we join the, church instead of joining with Christ to help on His work. A recent graduate of one of our large • hospitals the day following: her graduation signed to give her life to foreign Mission service. A friend of hers said to her "Is there nothing I can say to you that will make you change your mind". "No", replied The young girl,."This is say call and •1 must answer it. I dare not refuse". Oh that we ail when eaIled bo the service' of. the Master would just take that attitudeitowards our work with and for Him. The church has been dedicated to God. Whet, would the church of- ficials and members. think if Christ should walk into His House some night when we are having a drama oil the Platform from which His message is supposed to be' given or into some other part of the building where we are playing cards or into some hall connected 'with it where a dance i$ .being held under the. auspices of some church erganiza. Eon? Then we would cry for the stones to fall on us. Churches and everyone working in the Lord's work must retreat to Christ and'that 'without further de- lay. Recently several ministers have expressed the thought that more and more people were attending divine service. An elderly minister having recently passed. his ninety-fourth year, but who is still young in spirit agreed with the statement then added, "but. .sometimes we forget so soon." - How long do we ponder over God'a message as given by a true under - shepherd of the great. Shepherd during the week? We must confess that at times we have forgotten it by the time we get into the aisle. We have doubtless all been coming down the aisle of a "church, the organist has come to a sudden stop following aa crescendo in the music and we along with many others have not been talking about the sermon.

V Due Dates for Ration Coupons Coupons now valid are sugar 46 to 60, butter 90 to 112, and preserves 33 to P1. V Sugar for Canning Un- touched bi by the Sugar Ration Cut In cutting the sugar ration the allotment for sugar for eanning was left untouched. W. H. McPhillips, Prices : and supply representative for Western Ontario region of the War- time Priees and Trade Board, point- ed out that this was done , o that farmers and other country dwellers would have sugar to make up for the city dwellers who could secure commercial preserves and baking that is usually done in the farmer's kitchen. , In line with the cut in the sugar ration bakers will have only 60% of the sugar that they used in 1941. Biscuit makers and breakfast food manufacturers will have to get along on 55% and soft drinks and candy makers on 50% of their 1941 quota. V The Life of the Strawberry King (Continued from page 2) the 'bieseing of God, reached my 80th Birthday last November in. fairly good ' health, went back to England on a visit at Christmas 1922, making 7 trips across the Atlantic. About 1927 I experimented with growing strawberries, after some failures, I succeeded and for 30 years made a practise of making little gifts of choice Berries to _prominent people :passing through on the trains and people in the Twin Cities Of Port Arthur and Fort William, gave me the title of Strawberry King. The 24th of July 1914, was a Red letter day when I entertained their Royal Highness,' the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia, at Dorton and presented them with 20 quarts of choice berries, had a chat with the Gover- nor General on the Platform and when the ceremony was' ever, he graciously consented to pose for a picture with me. I also had the honour of present- ing Prince Arthur with a gift a little later at the C.N.R. Station, also a gift on two ,occasions to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, on the first occasion, I received an invitation to have luncheon on the Royal Train. While keeping Post Office, we boarded the teachers. One young woman between 30 and 40,.•had been brought up with a French .Canadian family. They; sometimes pronounced things Backwards. She sent. to Eatons for a 'parcel of goods, among others, a box of ram buck, to her dismay When the parcel arrived, instead of a box of ointment, to malify the sores and, cuts, they sent her a Buck saw to develop the muscles. She said nothing to nie, but returned the 'buck saw and repeated the order for ram buck, in :little more than a week, along came another buck saw. She was terribly provoked and told me about it. I immediately offered to take No. 2 Buck saw and calmed the troubled waters. A few years later I wrote the President of the T. Eaton Co., and said I thought I had the prize story of the Eaton Merchandise. One more link with Clinton, Rev. Wm. Younger, who was Pastor of the Baptist Church part of 1928 and 1926, was our Student Pastor of Dorion for 2 years and taught school part of the time. He died at the result of a stroke `on his way home from Auburn one week night, He did' a great work in Dorian worked exceedingly hard to obtain ;subscriptions to provide material to build our nice little Church Home. Younger and Holder were friends after The Jonathan and David Alli- ance, Younger was older than Holder by about a month, both about the Same build, neither giants in stature but giants for work. He had been a Pioneer Farmer at- Burks tBurks Falls, and was able to give us. useful lessons how to build loge buildings and how best to clear the. bush, he saw how badly we needed homes erected, and shelters for the stock and pitched in and helped us. After an absence of 20 years, he= paid us a visit in 1926 before going to Clinton, we were delighted to • 'have him with us again..

'Good pictures of the children are about as easy to take indoors as out. in fact, from the standpoint of effective settings' and picture ideas, they're often easier. And as for tech- nical difficulties—with the modern high speed elms and brilliant photo bulbs, such problems hardly exist. The essential features of a child picture are subject and "story," For greatest naturalness and spontane- ity, every child picture should have a story to tell. This story should be simple—presenting some phase of the child's everyday activities or pastimes—but it must be present if the picture is to be truly effective•' Observe the picture which accom- panies this article.A few simple ele- ments—a bag of flour, a bowl, and a beater—create a really good story situation. The story 15 clear, the arrangement is effective, and the activity draws the child's attention away from the camera. In this case, the one set-up served for a whole series of pictures—measuring out the flour, sifting, mixing, and $o on.. For snapshots indoors with a box - type •camera you should use two flood -type bulbs in inexpensive card - 'Ward reflectors attached to ordinary bridge lamps in place of the regular shades. ANo.,1 and a No. 2 bulb are a good eombiatation for balanced lighting. The diagram shows the position of the lamps, which is three and .one-half feet- from the. subject.

V The Life of the Strawberry King (Continued from page 2) the 'bieseing of God, reached my 80th Birthday last November in. fairly good ' health, went back to England on a visit at Christmas 1922, making 7 trips across the Atlantic. About 1927 I experimented with growing strawberries, after some failures, I succeeded and for 30 years made a practise of making little gifts of choice Berries to _prominent people :passing through on the trains and people in the Twin Cities Of Port Arthur and Fort William, gave me the title of Strawberry King. The 24th of July 1914, was a Red letter day when I entertained their Royal Highness,' the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia, at Dorton and presented them with 20 quarts of choice berries, had a chat with the Gover- nor General on the Platform and when the ceremony was' ever, he graciously consented to pose for a picture with me. I also had the honour of present- ing Prince Arthur with a gift a little later at the C.N.R. Station, also a gift on two ,occasions to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, on the first occasion, I received an invitation to have luncheon on the Royal Train. While keeping Post Office, we boarded the teachers. One young woman between 30 and 40,.•had been brought up with a French .Canadian family. They; sometimes pronounced things Backwards. She sent. to Eatons for a 'parcel of goods, among others, a box of ram buck, to her dismay When the parcel arrived, instead of a box of ointment, to malify the sores and, cuts, they sent her a Buck saw to develop the muscles. She said nothing to nie, but returned the 'buck saw and repeated the order for ram buck, in :little more than a week, along came another buck saw. She was terribly provoked and told me about it. I immediately offered to take No. 2 Buck saw and calmed the troubled waters. A few years later I wrote the President of the T. Eaton Co., and said I thought I had the prize story of the Eaton Merchandise. One more link with Clinton, Rev. Wm.

'Good pictures of the children are about as easy to take indoors as out. in fact, from the standpoint of effective settings' and picture ideas, they're often easier. And as for tech- nical difficulties—with the modern high speed elms and brilliant photo bulbs, such problems hardly exist. The essential features of a child picture are subject and "story," For greatest naturalness and spontane- ity, every child picture should have a story to tell. This story should be simple—presenting some phase of the child's everyday activities or pastimes—but it must be present if the picture is to be truly effective•' Observe the picture which accom- panies this article.A few simple ele- ments—a bag of flour, a bowl, and a beater—create a really good story situation. The story 15 clear, the arrangement is effective, and the activity draws the child's attention away from the camera. In this case, the one set-up served for a whole series of pictures—measuring out the flour, sifting, mixing, and $o on.. For snapshots indoors with a box - type •camera you should use two flood -type bulbs in inexpensive card - 'Ward reflectors attached to ordinary bridge lamps in place of the regular shades. ANo.,1 and a No. 2 bulb are a good eombiatation for balanced lighting. The diagram shows the position of the lamps, which is three and .one-half feet- from the. subject. ' With pour camera, in position—and be sure the lamps to net show in your viewfinder -you are ready to snap your picture.
