Doesn't'it seem a pity that as we
made (advance in civilization we have
become metre and more dependent on
things? that the higher the civiliza-
tion the snore surrounded we are
'with material things, the more dif-
ficult it is for us to get along 'with-
out an abundance of "things?"
The fundamental physical needs
• of humanity are food, clothing, shel-
ter, and nobody knows how many
1 • centuries the human species was in
climbing up to the place where it
' knew how to plan and provide for
those simple needs but since that
time humanity has -made rapid
strides in creating and supplying a
great many other requirements,
which have since become necessities,
until we are actually slaves to our
bodily needs.
And it is to be feared that we have
not paid such heed to the clamour of
our spiritual life for developement
as to our physical. If the spiritual
life of man had developed as his
mental life has, for instange, we
should have a civilization of a much
ihigher standard than we have to-
day, If our moral nature were
sensitive we should be as much a-
•shanted of being selfish as of being of
no financial importance in the world;
we should be as loath to realize
ourselves 'as unkind and thoughtless
of others as we are now pf being un-
able to afford the luxury of a car or
an expensively furnished house.
In this age of the world there are
disdain material eomjorts which
have really become almost necessi-
ties, at least, but after all they are
few, and during the past few years
many have found that they were
making their lives miserable trying
to keep up with the Joneses and all
to no purpose, and that they are
really happier, now that the stress
of circumstances has delivered them
from the strain of the contest. Life
holds more for men or women who
are willing to enjoy life as they go
along, rather than sepnding all their
energy trying to surpass others in
the possession of things or in plan-
ning for a day that lies far ahead,
when one can begin to enjoy Iife.
For still the needs of the physical
life are very few, food, clothing,
shelter. But the needs of the spir-
itual, and by spiritual I mean all
the nature of man that is not physi.
cal, are insatiable, but much can be
done to feed them if the physical
does not take up all our time and
energy. If the depression, which is
not quite gone, would only teach us
to develope the side of our nature
which is not physical; if it would
teach us not to be so dependent up-
on things for our happiness; if it
would teach Os to develope our men-
tal and spiritual powers it would be
the luckiest thing that ever happen-
ed.

'113,EN AND NOW
:On September 13, 1660, Samuel
Pepys recorded the following terse
item in his diary: --"This day, the
Duke of Gloucester died of the small-
pox by the great negligence of the
•doctors." It is not diselosed by
Pepys wherein.. he thought the Duke's
medical attendants were negligent,
as neither was -there then, nor is
there now a specific cure for, smalI-
pox. The only way to prevent
• deaths from this disease 'is to pre-
vent its occurrence.
Those were days when protection
in the form of vaccination was un-
known. A crude method of preven-
tion which aimed to cause a mild
' form of the •disease, existed, There
was always the grave danger, how-
ever, of the occurrence of the . dis-
ease in its more severe form, and -of
its spreading to others, • It was not
until one hundred and thirty ' years
otter the note of the diarist that the
English physician, Jenner, estab-
lished the scientific method know as
'vaccination.
In the meantime, smallpox stalked
'throughout the world, numhering its
victims by the .millions. Few there
were who escaped. Those who suf-
fered but survived, showedthe ugly.
scars of the disease. The victims iof
smallpoxwere 'chiefly children, and'•
ninety out of every hundred were
under ten years of age. It is re•
lated that, in the eighteenth cen-
tury, no• less than sixty millions of
people died of smallpox. A conser-
vative estimate placed the number
of deaths in Europe at lour hundred
thousand annually.
In the previous century, plague
was the great destroyer. It too
numbered its victims by the mil-
lions In the year 1665, uo fewer
than -sixty-nine thousand deaths
from'plague•oecurred in London. On
the - continent,, the- deaths were con,
siderably more numerous, and In
one year, five hundred thousand peon

FASHIONS OF BYGONE DAYS
BRIGHT AND GAY
Visitors to eint John, n, New Bruns-
wick, were astonished a few -weeks
ago to see in the windows of the de-
partment stores and dress shops
displays confined to the fashions of
150 years ago. They were replicas
of 17814 and were intended for the
Loyalist Ball celebrating the arrival
of the United Empire Loyalists from
the revolting American colonies. The
colors favored in that period were
bright and gay, principally yellow,
rose, tan, mauve and pink.

MY• HEALTH
Lord, make me grateful for things
I own;
This little home, the garden that
I see
The chubby arms that cling around
my neck,
His kind and tender eyes that smile
at me.
Make me give thanks for all the
busy hours,
The baking, mending, all the child-
ish calls;
The hundred tasks that give wings
to the day—+
IIis nearness when the dusk and
quiet falls.
Make me believe and know I am a
queen,
Far richer than the fabled queens
of old.
My kingdom—Motherhood and all its
gifts—
My crown his heart of gold.

GO TO A TREE
When you are weary of the boasts of
then,
Go to a tree, nay friend ---one that
has stood
Long patient years within a silent
' wood.
Beneath its branches you will find
again
A thing long lost, trees are content
to be
As God created them. No bough
that turns
Its golden thoughts to autumn ever
yearns
Beyond e hillside's immortality.
Go to a tree in silence. You will find
In the soft eloquence of bud and
leaf
Serenity beyond the voice of grief,
And faith above the reach of
human kind.
Man spends his ttoisy days in seaith
of gain,
While trees find God in sunlight,
soil and rain.
—Anderson M. Scruggs
JEWELS
I know a way of catching summer
sunbeams as they play;
And, like a crafty alchemist of old,
Of turning them to gems and molt-
en gold,
For winter when the skies are dull
and grey.
In crystal jars upon my shelf they
stand,
The ruby juice of currants and the
bland, -
Cool amber of the peach;
The sapphire blue of wild grapes and
of damsons, wet With dew;
The coral of the quinces the pearly
sheen • ,
Of silvery pears, the mint leaf's em-
erald green.
Strung on a chain of golden summer
hours,
Clasped with a• drone of bees and
scout -of flowers,
Row upon row, my captured sunbeams
stand,
Like jewels of Ind or gents from
• Samarkand.
—Emily Buzby.

DDTACIHMVI, NT
I would that always in my soul might
be
Some centre of indifference to pain,
So that, - in dire misfortune, I might
gain
A harbor sheltered from life's stormy
sea.
I do notask that calm felicity
Should fence me safely from(, 'the l
wind and thin;
I would not quit the turmoil and the
strain
And leave my fellows bound while I
am free.
But I would seek for patient seif-
control -
As if my body and my fortune were
Like garments, curious beyond coin -
pare
And�be beautiful perchance, su erchance, yet not the
whole
Of life, so that, if comfort were del
nied,
They -both, like garments might be
laid aside.
--FI. T. J. Coleman in The Ne*
Outlook.
THERE'S BUT ONE WAY
There's just one gift that all our dead
desire,
One. gift that men can give, and
that's a dream, •
Unless we, boo, can burn with that
same fire
Of 'sacrifice, die to the things that
seem;
Die to the old ignoble selves we
Die to the little hatreds, die to greed;
knew;
Die to the base contempts of sect and
Creed;
And rise again, like these, with
souls as true,
Nay (since they died before their
task was finished.)
Attempt new ,heights, bring even
their dreams to birth;
Build us that better world, oh, not
diminished
By one true splendor that they
planned on earth.
And that's not clone by sword, or
tongue ox pen—
There's but one way. God (take us
better men.
—Alfred Noyes
VISION
There is a shining wonder where (ten
strive
Though gleaming days of sun and
wind and soil.
Forever there lies beyond the com-
monplace
The imperishable dignity of toil
There is the splendor of the rugged
land
Where stalwards wrestle with the as-
cient sod;
The golden silence where men 'who
will
May labor daily hand in hand with
God.
There is a radience where women
move
About small household tasks, if they
but see
Beyond the polished surface of old
woods
The dazzling triumph of a living tree
If they but see beyond the white,
heaped flour—
Beyond the red, glased jellies on a
sill—
Wide joyous wheat fields laughing in
rho sun:
God's face above an orchard on a
hill.

My sightless eyes are lamps' unlit,
Or windows which no' light admit.

Are sunless days and starless nights,
Your eyes are bright with beauty's

They guarrms;d your steps from all that

Your eyes encompass earth and sky

Maybe you scarcely sympathize
With lives made dark by sightless

They try to bravely onward press
And wish their brothers large suc-
