Thy WII Not lV�ne Qe Done

During the ' last six years many have thought that . those who
to fight for us were not living a
good life here. The bible tells us
we axe not to judge, we must leave
that to God. For all we know
that boy or girl may have met
Christ and accepted Him . before his
call came and that as they started
cut on their voyage they have, with
all confidence' said to Him, "Thy
will, not mine, be done." When we
put that Sentence into our ' prayer
we do so knowing that there is a
God who is righteous and• who will
answer our prayers as He wills,
not according to our wishes. Many
.of our petitions if -answered as we
request would bring nothing but
disaster to us,

has been made doubly dear to us

shipof the world.
Many parents to -day. are neglect-
ing the. pirituai instruction of their
families. They are sending them out
in the morning without any .word of
God to carry with them through the
day and they are allowing them to
go to bed at night without even
seeing that they, have said their
prayers. Some of them are looking
after these things, for instance a
little lad of 3t/a years said tense
recently "I said my prayers last
night." Does your child of any age
say his or her prayers or . when it
comes their bed time are you, as a
parent whom God has made ,respon-
sible for that child and for whom at
the judgement day you will have to
account, out spending the evening
in pleasure with no thought of your
ehilds Eternal safety. Then if any-
thing happens that child or youth
and they are suddenly called home
you can find no comfort in the
thought, "Not my will but Thine, be
done."
In later years they will certainly
be tired and tempted. What have
they to look back, to—a home where
prayers were never offered on their
behalf or does memory carry] them
to the time • when they gathered
around the family after and the father
or mother lifted their hearts to God
on their behalf. Oh, parents think
well over these things. The

Christians have no need to fret and
worry. God has given us the power
to trust Him: and we have His
promise that if we put our faith in
Him that all will be well.
The story is told of a little lad
who was sitting on the running
board of an automobile watching
some- military maneuvers. Finally
he looked up at the gentleman in
the car with the question, "Will there
be a big noise. "Yes, sonny there
will be", answered the kindly
gentleman. The IittIe lad jumped up
and ran away stuttering "f must
find my daddy." shortly he was semi
running up to his father and putting
his hand in the protecting one of his
father. If we have confidence in our
Heavenly Father such as that ehild
had in his Earthly Father we can
place ourselves in His care and we
will have nothing to fear. rf we
would only do that how much more
happiness we would have.
A very beautiful story is told by
Sir Wilfred Grenfell. One ' day he
discovered that to his dismay that he
was drifting out into the 'Atlantic
ocean on an ice`pan• Night was eom;-
ing on and there was little chance of
him ;being rescued. He had no means
of kindling a fire and he realized
that death• was facing him.'. Ile se-
emed a certain amount of protection
by 'killing _three of . the_four dogs he
had and wrapping himself in their
skins to keep from freezing. Thus
he spent the night. When morning
came he found he was many mites
from shore. With a sinking heart and
a last hope he made a utast of the
broken legs of the frozen dogs. To
this he attached a part of his shirt.
Hour after hour he waved this. The
sun shining on the ice was blinding
him. Finally his signal was seen,and
he was rescued. He afterwards told
that during the long hours - the
following words ,'kept running
through his mind.
"My God, My Father, while I stray
Far from my home, on life's
rough waY,
Oh, teach me from my heart to stay,
'Thy will be done'!"
We, as Christians should always
realize that God's will is best and as
we submit ourselves. to His will let
us earnestly hope that we individual.-
Iy will be one of the army of conse-
crated men and women, who have
resolved that as Jesus' Christ even in
these days, daily goes to the Cross
that we will be one of his band of
followers.
"There is nothing to fear for the
faithful heart
Though storm clouds break, and
friends depart;
There is nothing to fear, for the
battle's won
When we learn to say 'Thy 'Will be
done',"
"There is nothing to fear far those
who pray' '
For strength and guidance on the
way;
Though the last faint hope has all
but gone–.
The trusting soul goes, bravely on."

War Against Sugar Blacv
Markets
During the week of August. 18,
several centres of sugar black mar;
Meting operations were wiped out in
Canada, according to reports issued
by the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board. The smashing of one eaten.
sive black market began with the
suspension of a business license of a
Montreal candy firm. This company
is alleged to have secured at Ieast
20,000 pounds of sugar in deals
involving stolen coupons and sugar
transfer vouchers and had been a
repeated offender under prices and
rationing regulations. Prosecution of
the cmpany and of a number of others
involved in the illegal activity is
under way. Found in possession of
enough coupons to purchase 3,900
pounds of sugar, a Toronto man was
given a three months jail sentence
and fined $500. Seisure of half a
million counterfeit sugar coupons
together with printing equipment
culminated a seriei ofinvestigations
in the Montreal area. This was the
second seizure of a counterfeit sugar
coupon press in recent months.
