THE DOG I've never known a dog to wag His tail in glee he did not feel, Nor quit his old-time friend 'to tag At some more influential heel; 'The yellowest cur I ever knew Was, to the boy who owned Mm, true. I've never known a -dog to- show Halfway devotion to his friend, To seek a kinder man to know Or richer, but to the end 'The humblest dog I ever knew Was to the man who loved him true. I've never known a dog to fake Affection for a present gain A false display of love to make Some little favour to attain. T I've never known a Prince or Spot That seemed to be what he was not. But I have known a dog to fight L With all his strength to shield a friend, And whether wrong or whether right, To stick with him until the end. .. And .I have known a dog to lick The hands of him that men would: kick. And I hive• known a doge to bear share with you sueh simple savage eertainity of what is true. The way for all men you can see; I barely see the way for me You may be right— I only know -- you cannot for a moment risk granting that I might be so; you cannot for a moment risk grace of doubt from half -lit sky: since if for every man you speak you must all other men deny.

It is the duty 'of very Canadian • homemaker to conserve food and save money in order tie further our wax • effort, It is her duty, also, to pro- vide her family with nutritious, wholesome foods—foods that keep the nation strong. To cook inexpensive, yet appetizing nand attractive meals MONTH AF- TER MONTH is not an easy task. But, it is 'stick-Yte-it-ivnelss" that produces resulte. Let tie resolve to waste nothing in the kitchen that could help dress up a meal to make it more tempting. Buy the inexpen- sive meats—for they are often 'more nutritious than expensive cuts.

WINTER MOONLIGHT Quietly on a velvet stair • The moon walks down the night, Casting -faint beams at :shadows where They spurn her misty light. . Tall pines expectantly await Her jewelled vestments' rare, While shrubs their tuneless songs abate, A filmy sheen to wear. Across the snowclad Lowlands creep Deep shades all blue and white, As furry folk their vigils keep With eyes of keenest. sight. And T, who tread a lonely road, The silent beauty feel, Lightening thus my heavy load, As moonbeams round me steal, —Caroline Grant Farrill. NEW YEARS EVE (Salute to the Democracies) Let me take up in my fingers tonight All the sad things of the year, all the proud things; Let me weigh them to see if they are light, Or if they are heavy. My heart sings Over the fire on the hearth, that is dying; Over the sparks that upward are fly- ing; As the year falls from my sight. Is my song sad? Is my song proud? There is a multitude of thoughts that crowd.., Like children, waiting about the door. Is my heart rich? Is my heart poor? What can this year say as it goes? What can my heart say as it sees the day close? That all has been said before? hat none San say more?Yet shall I say this, touching softly the past, ooking quietly through the window where the blast CA•ries the snow swiftly against tho pane: "The days have not been in vain."

Byt If o' h n wil "Ili Jim! fetch a pail of water". called Farmer John to his son. Jim is like many other people b men and; women, boys and girls will promptly forget all about it a it will not be long before mother 'say "John I am waiting for the er." "Didn't Jirn get that pail water. I might just as well h gone for it in the first place." So father takes the pail and off he goes Maybe he will return with it an maybe he won't. Very often as, a con elusion' to the conversation aiothe will have to go herself something els bias taken up Dads -attention and th pail is left on the spout of the pump But presuming that Dad does ge water, let us follow him and se what he does, He either hangs the pail on the apout of the pump or sets it on the ground in direct line of the flow of water. Then he shoves the handle down and pulls it up, but there is no suction. It will just be fortunate for Dad if he has left en- ough water in the pail to prime the pump, That is just another thing which has been neglected. So often Dad or.Jim have been goingeto fix that. washer but as 'procastination is the thief of time so it is in this rase. Dad now pours water down the top of the pump, then he' pumps hard and fast and at last has the satifaetion of seeing water come out the spout and run into the pail. Should Fanner John pump a few strokes, partially filling. the pail an he gets tired and stops pumping, th water in the pail will only be in pr portion to.the effort he has put for Providence has supplied the wat but no matter where eve are, in ci or county we have to expend least some effort before we have ready for use. It may be even such sneak thing as turning the tap. in the early days of our eountr the pioneers had no pumps as we un derstand the word today. A well wa sunk and the pail lowered and rats by a winding shaft.. Many a stor has been written about the old web and "the old oaken bucket" Very oc casionally'we. see one as we go thong the country. Then came the pump Throughout the district there ar those pumped by a windmill or motor but the majority of the wells ar supplied with the old' fashioned pump Many lessons may be learned fro the old pump, although it is quite harmless thing to look at. 'In the first place if we expect t get water fit to drink we must have good well Many households have ha the experience of digging and digging and not tricking water. The same applies to e drilled well. We must be in the line of water or we cannot bring it to the surface' of the earth. Further more we cannot leave the tools or the drilling machine lying on top of the ground and expect to reach the water which is many feet below. As a mule anything in this life is gained only by hard work. A gardner spends hours on his vegetable er flower plots and: the beauty of it show's' the combined work of God and man. Peaceably we ob- erved the birthday of the Christ ild. Going into a room where ere were many flowers and much of eauty, the remark was passed,."If Christ had not some we would have ad none of this," Are we willing to -operate with our Saviour in mak - g His world beautiful? Procrastination in regard to' put - ng on a new washer meant that ere was no contact' from the well to ' the pail. So if we•put off accepting Christ as our Saviour we have no ght to expect the fulfilment• of any His promises and blessings. At times it requires much longer umping to fill the pail then at others t we should keep on trying. Being seouraged never gets one any place. only hinders our work and infh thi- ce. We may pray. for mons about me problem which is bothering us n ,d the condition remains. the same, Keep on praying. If God toes not see fit to lift the burden from us He will give us courage and strength to e'arry on. Eventually, it will work out to our own satisfaction. A well. may be compared to our ad's. In order to have clean, fresh, ngermed water we must have a clean 11 and a good pump. The instant find that the water is not as it dean should be we hurry to the well,. least we should, otherwise we will ave sickness in our home.

Train the children to store et their young minds with His words e and promises. No matter in what walk of life we are somebody is looking up , to us. Somebody wants to copy what we are doing. Let us keep aur minds clean so that no one will be able to find anything about us which would in- duce them to say "If that is being a Christian, I want none of it." We are if we have taken Him as our Saviour, representatives of Him. We would not want to say anything which would disgrace the name of our earthly king Geoge VII or our beloved Queen Eliz- abeth, nor would we allow anyone else to speak disrespectfully of Their Majesties, and yet how often we hear Jesus Christ dishonored and we have nothing to say in His defence., Do we realize that everytime we allow that to ;happen we are crucifying Flim afresh. It is easier. for us to pump when we are young than when we get on in years. Yet how many of us of all ages are refusing to pump the well of Salvation, The one important thing about that pump. is that it is very easy to draw from it. We sim- ply go to the well with a willingness to draw there from and we will find Christ there waiting for us. Only those who are drinking of the ever flowing water of that well have any idea of the joy which it brings. There is no joy on earth equal to it, and the longer we drink of that Well the hap- pier we will be. In quietness and confidence My strength shall ever be; No weariness shall overcome The soul that's stayed on Thee Though trails sore and hardships come My- strength He shall renew; His presence shall envelope me— No ill shall e'er pass through. Though friends may fail; the world is dark, I: know for me He cares, And as a Father pitieth, In all my grief He shares. And so, whatever may betide, Or whether weal or woe, In quietness and confidence Shall be the strength I know, "PEG" �P• FORMER .RESIDENT DIED IN MEXICO John Hubert Cornyn, 66, died, Tues- day, December 28rd, in Mexico City where he' had resided for many years.

When .the five who were present— the mayor, one councillor, two P.U.O. commissioners and the Clerk —• had waited an hour for an audience and nobody appeared, the meeting was ad- journed. The apparent apathy on the part of the citizens may be either the result of satisfaction with the manner in which the town affairs are being con- ducted, or may lie in the fact that the ratepayers know the entire elec- tive body is in of£ioe for another year, and even if they don't approve they can't do anything about it. Mayor J. J. Cluff, who has attended every annual meeting of the town of Seaforth for the past forty years, on commenting on the attendance, said it was the first time that the meet- ing wan unattended; "Some years there Would, only be a handful of people, hilt most ydars,. particularly yearseago, the hall Would' 6a filled," he saki.
