Nor shall I ask that life should give to me Another friend—' Just keep me true to those I have, dear Lord, Until the end. About a week before his death, while apparently in the best of health, Mr. J. W. Eedy penned the above little verse to be run in the Golden Nugget column of The St. Marys Journal -Argus. It was his last con- tribution to the paper: �Ib Somehow we all seem to be reach. lug out, like poor, little Oliver Twist, for "more," all the, time, more life, fuller life, more wealth, more friends more leisure we all seem to have a more of less severe attack of the "gimmes," and in our eagerness to acquire we often do not stop to con- sider whether we are making good use of what we do possess. In the old parable of the talents Via remember, the one talent man was not condemned because he only had one talent, but because he made no use of the one he had; the ten talent, man was not commended for having so many talents, but for making good use of them. Do we make good use of the little wealth wehave, of the days as they come and go, of the leisure we pos- esss and of the friends with which we are blessed? ' It is an arresting question! After all, it. is not the wealthiest people who have blessed the world most; it is oftenest the ,busy people who find time to do the most good, in the world; it is not always the people who live the longest whose work counts nyost. Long life, wealth, leisure and&hosts of friends are not needed in order that we may develope the very best that is in us. o====e Veal Loaf Does your family like veal loaf, if so here's a good recipe: Veal loaf, for six persons, can best be made as follows, according to chefs of Cana dian National hotels, dining cars and :ocean liners: two pounds of veal, one tablespoonful of onion juice, a half pound of fat pork, a cup of bread - crumbs,. a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper, one egg.

GRANT ON USING TOBACCO There is an old saying, and a vary true one, to the effect that what is one man's meat is another man's poison. This aphorism is most fit- tingly applicable in the case of to- bacco. Just us people differ in their phy- sical make-up and fu their mental outlook, so also may they differ in their response to foods, drugs, to- •"bacco and other substances. This latter phenomenon is spoken or as an idiosyncrasy. No two persons are exactly alike One person eats certain foods and digests them readily, while the same foods will cause a disturbance it another poison. So it is with carbon monoxide, nicotine and certain coal tar derivatives which are container in, or are the products of tobacco smoke. Toleranoc—the ability to use tobacco without discomfort—may be acquired fairly quickly in some cases, but more often, it takes years, to make an individual a seasoner smoker, It is a recognized fact that smok- ing causes a quickening of the pulse and a temporary increase in blood pressure. Digestion is slowed, and it is well-known that smoking des. treys the feeling of hunger. The extent to which these and oth- er changes occur vary in different individuals, but in the majority of Edited by FLEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary occurrence may be a real problem. To the susceptible individual, ov er-indulgence in smoking may be manifested in many ways. It may be indicated by palpitation and rapic' heart-action—what is •geinaralley known as the "tobacco heart." Th' Increase in blood pressure may give rise to pain in the chest, or contri- bute to dizziness, irritability and insomnia. That period of extreme restlessness and tossng about, prior to sleeping, of which many people complain, can often be placed at the door of ex- cessive smoking. The number of smokers with coughs bears evidence to the irritating effect of smoking on the respiratory tract of some persons. This, if continued, may contribute to the. occurrence of more distressing lung conditions. Tho pleasure which smoking gives to many people is not to be denied. This pleasure would be enhanced were the bounds of moderation not overstepped, cases, none of them reach the stage where they may be said to cause concern.

International ` Uniform Sunday School Lesson February 26th JESUS SHOWS HIS POWER. GOLDEN EXT: "Fort know whom I .have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which 'I have committed unto hien against that day." -2 Timothy 1: 12 b. LESSON PASSAGE: 'Mark 4: 35-+ 5: 8, 18-2.0 Dear Lord, who sought at dawn of day .• ' The solitary woods to pray, In quietness we come to ask Thy presence for the daily task, Sts+&ng pilot, who at midnight hour Could calm the sea with gentle power, Grant us the skill to aid the bark Of those who drift in storm and dark. —Harry Webb Farrington. Out -of -Doors, 35, 36 Much 'of the public ministry of Jesus was spent out-of-doors. His baptism was in the Jordan Valley. His temptation was in the wilder- ness. His transfiguration was on a hilltop. He walked through 'a corn field, prayed in a garden and taught crowds on the hillsides and on the lakeshore. Here we see him with his disciples in a boat upon the Sea of Galilee. His visits to the cities and towns were only occasional: Much of his time was spent where the flowers grew, the birds sang and the grain ripened in the field, He knew the world of nature. To bins it was his Father's world. Storm and Calm, 37-41 Jesus was fatigued with teaching and he lay down in the boat to sleep. He knew that his disciples were fish- ermen, and therefore experienced boatmen, and he trusted to their sea- manship. The Sea of Galilee, how- ever, is treacherous and a violent storm arose. The waves threatened to swamp the ship, and the disciples awoke their Master rather implying that he was indifferent to their dan- ger. IIe commanded the sea to be still, and a great calm followed the storm. Those who were in the boat were greatly impressed. Perhaps the contgo] of Jesus over himself was mere significant than the pow- er displayed over the waves. •He was more significant than the power dis- played over the waves. He never lost his self -command. Repeatedly when Isis disciples were ready to give a- way to panic he steadied them and gave them poise. Christ has demo much to free his followers from fear. A Soul in Storm, 1-5 The people with whom Jesus asso- ciated believed in demonic posses- sion: They had no other explanation for toss of reason. Apart from a few places where civilization has changed public tepinion , Africa is tormented by belief in witches. Many people in Ondia and China believe in demon possession. Traces of this belief have lasted long even in so- called Christian countries as wit- ness methods esf treating the insane. To -day we know that the so-called evil spirits are due to sickness of body. mind and soulVery often a slight injury may cause mental dis- order. Pity and skilled medical treatment and care are due to those thus afflicted rather than cruel pen- alties. Calm Restored, 6-8 The unhappy demoniac who lived amongst the tombs and 'who was the victim of self -torture cried out when he saw Jesus, He was suffering from 'what is called multiple per -1 scnality. Jesus asked him "What is your name?" This was the first step in restoring him to a unified personality. Jesus sought to re- call him to soinething that was de- finitely his own. This man had seen the Retina legions marching, and he had such a divided and dis ordered self that he felt his spirit was made up of many different per- sonalities, and he replied, "M,y name is Legion for we are many." So many contradictory -mimeses and varied voices warred within him that he felt he was snore like a while battalion than. one person. Seldom do we realize how Jesus has freed us from sunerstition and from belief in evil spirits. Jost as he freed the demoniac train 'mental torment so has he delivered many of his follow- ers Prem inner conflects. To troub- led souls as to the troubled sea, he brings .peace. The Impulse to Tell, 18.20 When Jesus returned to the boat the matt who had been cured wished to go aboard with him. Jesus denied him this privilege, and told hint to go home to his friends and tell .what great things had been done for him. Re went throughout Decapolis tolling wow. Aseminsemi OMEN Household11 Economicsi what great things Jesus had done for him, and made men marvel at his story. Those who have been signal- iy helped by the power.of Christ are usually eager to tell others in' +order that their friends and acquaintances may be helped also. Christianity could not have survived and spread as it has done had it not been for the persona] testimonies ' of those who have, .been helped already. Er. ery church suffers in greater or less degree from tongue-tied Christians. Volubility is not desirab]e nor sup- erficial chatter about religion, but those who have felt the love of Christ must needs tell others of the deepest experience of their lives. "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so." When religion becomes vital it is sure to become vocal. Paul was always eager to bear witness. "For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." Such a faith cannot be kept to oneself. Questions For Discussion1 1. Was it because he knew that his disciples were fishermen and boatmen, that Jesus slept untroubled through the storm? ' 2, Why do so many people lose reason through religious delusion? 3. How do you explain Christ's knowledge of mental laws? 4. Are silent Christians incomplete Christians? 5. 'Why is some forth of expression necessary for spiritual health? 6. What did Christ mean when he said, "My peace I give unto you?"

THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE :POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songs --Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad— But Always Helpful and Ins Airing - TIRE COURTSHIP OE MILES STANDISH Lol in the midst of this scene, a breathless messenger entered, Bringing in hurry and heat the ter- rible news from the village. Yes; Miles Standish was dead! -son Indian had brought them the tid- ings,— Slain by a poisoned arrow, shot down in the front of the battle, Into an ambush beguiled, cut off• with the whole of his forces; All the town would be burned, and all the people be murdered! Such were the tidings of evil that burst on the hearts of the hearers, Silent and statue -like stood Priscilla, her face looking backward Still at the face of the speaker, her arms uplifted in horror; But John Alden, upstartnig, as if the barb of the arrow Piercing the heart of his friend had struck his own and had sundered Once and forever the bonds that Held him bound as a captive, Wild with excess of sensation, the awful delight of his freedom, Mingled with pain and regret, uncon- scious of what he was doing, Clasped, almost with a groan, the motionless form of Priscilla, Pressing her close to his heart, as forever his own and exclaiming: "Those whom the Lord bath united, let no man put them asunder!" Even as rivulets twain, front dis- tant and separate sources, Seeing each other afar, as they leap from the rocks and pursuing Each one its devious path, but draw- ing nearer and nearer, Rush together at last, at their trys- ing-place in the forest; So these lives that had run thus far in separate channels, Coming in sight of each other, then swerving and flowing asunder, Parted by barriers strong, but draw- ing nearer and nearer, Rushed together at last, and one was last in the other. , Ix THE WEDDING DAY Perth from the curtain of clouds, from the tent of purpl and scarlet, Issued the sun, the great High -Priest its his garment resplendent, Holiness unto the Lord, in letters of light, on his forehead, Round the hens of his robe the gold- en bells and pomegranate::. Blessing the world he eame, and the bars of vapor beneath him, Gleamed like a grate of brass, and the sea at his feet was a laver! This was the wedding morn of Priscilla the Puritan maiden. Friends were assembled together; the Elder and Magistrate also Graced the scene with their pres- ence, and stood like the Law ane the Gospel, One with the sanction of earth and one with the blessing of heaven. Simple and brief was the wedding, as that of Ruth and of Boaz, Softly the youth and the maiden re- peated the words of betrothal, Taking each other for husband and end wife in the Magistrate's pres- ence, After the Puritan way, and the laud- able custom of HIollancl. Fervently then and devoutly, the ex- cellent Elder of Plymouth Prayed for the hearth and the home, that were founded that day in af- fection, Speaking of life and of death, and imploring Divine benedictions, Lo! when the service was ended, a form appeared ass the threshold,. Clad in armor of steel, a sombre and sorrowful figure! Why does the bridegroom start and stare at the strange apparition? Why does the bride turn pale, and hide her face on his shoulder? ' Is it a phantom of air,— a bodiless, spectral illusion? Is it a ghost from the grave, that has come to forbid the bethrothal,? Long had it stood there unseen, ti ' guest uninvited, unwelcomed; Over its clouded eyes theta had pass- ed at times an expression Softening the gloom and reve'tling the 'warts heart. hidden beneath thein,• . As when across the sky the driving rack of the rain cloud. Grows for moment thin, and Betrays the sun by its brightness. Once it had lifted its hand, and move - ed its lips, but was silent, As if an iron will had mastered the fleeting intention. But when were ended the troth and the prayer and the last benediction, Tito the room it 'strode, and the people beheld with epeazement Bodily there in' his armor Miles 'Standish, the•Captain of Plymouth!' Grasping the bridegroom's hand, he said with emotion, "Forgive mel" I have ,been angry and hurt,—too long have I cherished the feeling; I have been 'cruel and hard, but now, thank 'God! .it is ended. Mine is the same hot blood that leap- ed in the veins ,of Hugh Standish, Sensitive, swift to resent, but as swift in atoning for error. Never so much as now was Miles Standish the friend of John Alden." Thereupon answered the bridegroom: "Let all be forgotten between us— All save the dear old friendship, and that shall grow older and dearer!" Then the Captain advanced, and, bowing saluted Pricila, Gravely, and after the manner of gold fashioned gentry in England, Something of 'camp and of court, of town and of country, commingled. Wishing her joy 'of her wedding, and loudly lauding her husband. Then he said with a smile: "I should have remembered the adage,— If you will be well served, you must serve yourself: and moreover, No man can gather cherries in Kent at the season 'of Christmas!" Great was 'the people's amaze - men, and greater yet their rejoic- ting Thus to behold once more the sum burnt face of their Captain, Whom they had mourned as dead: and they gathered and crowded a- bout hint, Eager to see him and hear him, for- getful of bride and bridegroom, Questioning, answering, laughing, and each interrupting the other, Till the good Captain declared, being quite overpowered and bewildered, He had rather by far break into an Indian encampment„ Than come again to a wedding to which he had not been invited. 'Meanwhile the bridegroom went forth and stood with the bride at. the doorway, Breathing the perfumed air of that warm and beautiful morning. Touched with autumnal tints, but lonely and sad in the sunshine, Lay extended before them the land of toil and privation; There were the graves of the dead and the barren waste of the sea- shore, There the familiar fields, the groves of pine, and the meadows; But to their eyes transfigured, it seemed as the Garden of Eden, Filled with the presence of God, whose voice was the sound of the ocean. Soon was their vision disturbed by the noise and stir of departure, Friends coining forth from the house and impatient of longer delaying NOM Each with his plan for the day, and the work that was left tuicomplet- ed. Then from a stall near at hand, amid exclamations of wonder, Alden the thoughtful, the careful, so happy, so proud of Priscilla, Brought out his snow-white bull, obeying the hand at its master, Led by a cord that was tied to an iron ring in its notrils, Covered with crimson cloth, and e. l cushion placed for a saddle. She should not walk, he said, through the dust and heat of the noonday; Nay, she should ride like a queen, not plod along like a peasant. Somewhat alarmed at first, but re- assured by the others, Placing her hand on the cushion, her foot in the hand of her husband, Gayly, with joyous laugh, Priscilla mounted her palfrey, "Nothing is wanting now," he said with a 'senile, "but the distaff; Then you would be in truth my queen, my beautiful Bertha!" Onward the bridal procession now moved to their new habitation, Happy husband and wife, and friends conversing together. • Pleasantly murmured the brook, .as they crossed the ford in the forest, Pleased with the image that passed, like a dream of love through its bosom, Tremulous, floating in air, o'er the depths of the azure abysses. Down through the golden loaves the sun was pouring his splendors, Gleaming on purple grapes, that, from branches above them sus- pended, Mingled their odorous breath with the balm. of the pine and the fir - tree. Wild and sweet as the clusters that grew in the valley of Eshcol. Like a picture it seemed of the ' primitive, pastoral ages, Fresh with the youth of the world, and recalling Rebecca and Isaac, Old and yet ever new, and simple and beautiful always, Love immortal and young in the endless succession of lovers. So through the Plymouth woods pass sed onward the bridal procession, (The End.)
