almost every age and by almost ev,
ery race since time began to be reck-
oned a special period has been cele-
brated as the beginning of the new
year or circle of moons. The end of
the year is a good time to stop and
take a glance over one's shoulder to
see how straight one has been trav-
elling. And, ine spite of the fun
that is always being made of the
habit of making New Year resolu-
tions, many people seem to think it
a good thing to do. Personally I
do not do just that, but I often find
it profitable 'to take a backward
Bance and make a good sized re-
solve at least to he a bit braver in
the face of difficulties; to give mare
of myself to whatever I'm trying to
accomplish; to live a bit more gal-
lantly than in the past. Do I then
do it? Oh, well, now does anybody
keep all their New Years resolutions?
I very heartily wish all readers of
this column a Happy New Year.

TOOK OF HIS HAT TO HIS HOGS
Not long ago a livestock truck
pulled up to the unloading chute at
one of the smaller abattoirs in Sas-
katchewan. The driver, a farmer of
German extraction who for some
years has been making a comfort-
able living out of nixed farming
near Strassbourg, unloaded a num-
ber of good bacon type hogs nog
called for the grader.
After having the load graded and
weighed, the farrier asked, to he
given his cheque so as to do some
shopping before leaving for home.
The amount was slightly over one
hundred dollars. As the farrier
walked past the hogs on the way to
the cashier's office the livestock buy;

It was the flame
Por` which men budded high
Altars; and piled the dry
Faggots. And then it came,
As lightning, suddenly,
Kindling a sodden tree.
It was the seed

Men nurtured
And cherished from the cold.;
But heedless of , thein; heed.
Wild -sown, by ways obscure,
It flowered upon the moor.
It• was the child
Men hoped for froin their schools,
Taught in their prudent rules,
Shielded and undefiled.
But wayward and divine,
From out some lintel':iow,
Or hectic tavern glow,
He' carne, bearing the sign.

A LITTLE POEM
A little laughter, as a while we tarry
Upon this -weary road we've chris-
tened "life"
A little ache, as friends go passing
onwards
Leaving behind this world of pain
and strife.
A little thoughtfulness, a little wis-
dom,
A little gentle pressure of the hand.
A tender word sometimes will ease a
burden
Will often help more than. we under-
stand.
A little aid, when things are getting
muddled -
A helping hand to some one sorely
driven,
A word or two by someone gently
spoken,
Oft brings to us a little glimpse of
heaven.
-Nina Stevenson.

For not throughthese shall come

'But by the silent path of Christ

Christ ' saw no race nor class when
He was feeding
The hungry thousands with the
bread of life;
No trumpets sounded when His feet
were bleeding -
Heroic victor in heroic strife.
Rise, then, • my brother, east the
world behind you,
Shoulder the cross and follow in
the line;
Whate'er your creed, the Master's
eye will find you,
And you shah' worship at the in-
ner shrine.

HILLS
The bills I love are ordinary hills,
With common lanes where common
cattle pass;
But sunlight like the April daffodils
Lies gn their slopes and glides the
pasture grass.
And when at dusk the weary horses
climb
Out of the valley,' with the scent
of loam
Heavy upon them, neither song nor
Thyme .
Can aitch the joy of hoofbeats
heading. home. -
The hills I love hold barns and shade
and houses,
Old orchards with gnarled Seek -no -
further trees,
A atony field wherein a cross ram
browses,
Yet I am happier -- happier far :-

Than any wealthier and wiser I
Cduld be with mountains reaching to
the sky.

GIFTS OF THE i'EAR
Can you not tarry awhile
Oh year; so near your reposing?
1, 'who have loved you long,
Would have you linger in. ot.esing;
Linger that I might recall,
Here in the twilight alone,
Wlth a tinge of regret for bygone;
things •,
r rrrr we 'r nom: ..
The glorious days I have known.
Can you not stay your course
Qh year, with my *heart in your
keeping? -
I would,not sadden your way
With vain regret or .with weeping,
I would but offer you thanks
For the golden gifts that you
breught
And for guiding my faltering steps
To the happiness that I sought. •
For these, before you depart,
Oh year, would I give you praise,
Telling them over again _
Likea rosaryofdays;
For your gracious gift of the spring,.
For lilting winds, and. for mirth,
For high, clear stars at night,
For the waren sweet scent of earth;
For leisure, and earnest toil,
For the comfort in kindly looks,
For health, for unending joy in life,
For my boundless kingdom of
books,
For friends I have found with you,
For firelight's kindly cheer,
For love, and laughter, and even
tears,
For these I thank you, year.
Year, I have loved so well!
I would that you could stay
Yet e'en as I voice the thought
The chimes begin to play;
Mellow and sweet and old,
I3a?.f tenderly sad, half gay,
While the gracious Keeper of all the
years
Leads you gently away.
• -Molly Bevan.
THE BEST ROAD •OF ALL
I like a road that leads away to
Prospects white and fair,
A road that is an ordered road, like a
nun's evening prayer;
But best of all I love a road that
leads to God knows where.
Yon cone upon it suddenly -you
cannot seek it out;
It's like a secret stir'. unheard and
never noised about;
But when you set it, gone at once
is every lurking doubt.
It winds beside some rushing stream
where aspens lightly quiver;
It follows many a broken field by
-many a shining river;
It seems to lead yon on and on,
forever and forever
Yon tramp along its dusty way be.
heath the shadowy trees,
And hear beside you chattering birds
or happy booming bees,
And all around you golden sounds,
the green leaves' litanies.
And here's a hedge and there's a
cot; and then, strange, sudden
turns-•
A dip, a rise, a little glimpse where
the red sunset burns;
A bit of sky at evening time, the
scent o1 hidden ferns.
A winching road, a loitering roach,
the finger mark of God,
Traced when the Maker of the wori'd
leaned over 'ways untrocl.
Seel Here He smiled His glowing
• anile, and lo, the golden-rodl
I like a road that wanders straight;
the King's highway is fair,
And lovely are the sheltered lanes
that take you here and there;
But best of all I love a road that
leads to God knows where.
--Charles Hanson Towne.
BEYOND THE. PATH OP THE
OUTMOST SUN
Beyond the path of the outmost sun,
through utter darkness hurled
Further than ever comet flared or
vagrant stardust swirled-
Live such as fought and sailed and
reed- and loved and made our
world.
They are purged of pride because
they died, they know the worth
of their bays;
They sit at ,vine with the Maidens
Nine and the Gods of the Elder
Days.
It is their will to serve or be, still as
fitteth our Father's praise.
It is theirs to slip through the ring-
ing deep where Azrael's out-
posts are
Or buffet a path through the Pit's
red wrath when God goes out to
war,
Or hang with the reckless 'Seraphim
onn the rim of a red -maned star.
They take their mirth in the joy of
the Earth -'they dare not grieve'
for her pain -
They know of tail and the end of -
toil, they know God's law is
plain;
So they whistle the Devil to make
them sport who know that sin is
vain.
And o£times' cometh our wise Lord
God, master of every trade,
And tells them tales of his daily
• tori!, of Edens newly made;
And they rise to their feet as he
passes by, gentlemen unafraid.
To those who are cleansed of past
Desire, Sorrow and Lust and
Shame-
Gods, for they knew the hearts of
men -men, for they stooped to
Fame,
Borne on the breath that men call •
Death, my brother's spirit came.
He scarcely had need to doff his
pride or rough the dross of
Earth-
E'en as he trod that day to Coil so
walked he front his birth,
le simpleness and gentleness and
honour ani clean mirth.

NAGGING IS AN EASIILY
ACQUIRED HABIT -SHUN iT
(By Dr. H. E. Smith, University of
Alberta)
"They seem to be splendid little
chaps and their manners are all that
could be desired. But I don't know
much about their mother. She ap-
pears to allow her children to go pret»
ty much their own way, yet it is re»
markable how much common-sense
they show."
Do yon .suppose the little boys who
*were the subject .of the above re-
marks have any more,native common-
sense than other boys? Or is it that
they have a mother who, by refrain»
ing from a nagging attitude regard»
ing their small affairs, has been able,
nevertheless, to produce in then, that
healthy, happy, and co-operative out-
look upon ! ife whose natural accent.
paniment is a pleasant personality?
Nagging is an easily acquired
habit. Have you ever noticed how
suggestive of. its meaning is the
sound of tine word Itself? It has a,>
ragged -edged, monotonous, clang.
dant and grinding tone reflecting an
ineffective, querulous spirit. Ila
futility in securing discipline has
often been pointed out. For the sake
of keeping the peace the child tray
1 control his behaviour while the
nagging parent is present. Tn hfF
absence an outburst of misbehaviour
Iis almost certain to take place, at
the child develops h fretful, peevish
attitude 'on his own account. The
frank, well-balanced moraii outlook
which the adolescent needs in his
outside life is never produced by
impatient threats and emotional out-
bursts.
Good discipline in young children
is largely habit -the result of con.
sistent obedience to commands and
requirements which are themselves
simple and reasonable. With in.
creasing age the child responds more
and more to reason, and to oppor-
tunities for co-operative solution
of behaviour difficulties, A heart,
to -heart talk in regard to a person-
ality defect is likely to do more good
than months of nagging. The par-
ent then appeals to the child as an
understanding friend rather than as
a nervous- old-fashioned, and irrit-
ating necessity.
Without doubt many parents over-
emphasize their importance in their
own children's lives. Children will
stand a great deal of letting alone.
The capacity for effective independ-
ent action is acquired only through
the exercise of increasing amounts of
independence. Parents possess their
children only to the extent that mu-
tual respect and love bind them toy
gether. Parents who so intelligent-
ly and sympathetically deal with
their boys and girls all the way
through childhood that adolescence
Mill finds them bringing their prob-
lems for sympathy- and advice are
exerting the finest kind of influence
upon developing .personalities. - They
reap a rich reward in affection and
companionship,
A boy walked into a barber's shop
to: have his hair cut. "You want it
cut badly," 'said the barber, survey-
ing
"No, I don't" said the boy. "F
had it cut badly last time."
