'THE HOUSE WITH THE -GOLDEN WINDOWS By A. F. Poiberoy When I Was but a little child There stood across the hill ..A house with golden windows; I seem to dee it still. And day by day, in that little town, My heart grew sad and sore; 1I longed to live in, the house of gold I could see across the moor. And then one day, in .the sunset's glow, I wandered across that hill, -And alas! when I reached the hilltop My heart stood very still. ''Twos just like any other house; It had no panes of gold; ` The cobble walk was like our own, And the gable very old ' - 1 stood, a disappointed child; Glanced back across the world!; , - And lo! our own house, gleaming there; Had windows of pure' gold! What a lesson I learned as I stood there And watched that golden glow! " Aren't the things •we poivsess-if we prize them - The greatest treasures we know? ALL THESE ARE MINE I love the clear cold stars of January The frosty crunch of snow tramped underfoot; • Excuisite window -prints of castles fairy; A. jewelled flash of sunlight -pirates' loot.

I smile to see, unsaid, You pity ine that I must lie in bed. -Ho ward S.•Ernst. WORKER IN WOOD IIe never hurries when he works in wood.

It supplies energy to muscles, tissues and glands. If unhealthy, your body lacks this energy and becomes enfeebled—youthful vim disappears. Again your liver pours out bile to digest food, get rid of waste and allow proper nourishment to reach your blood. When your liver gets out of order proper digestion and nourishment stop -you're poisoned with the waste that decomposes in your intestines. Nervous troubles and rheumatic pains arise from this poison. You become constipated, stomach and kidneys can't work properly.

To-d'ay we will represent a visitor going into one of these homes and, finding a mother in a sad communica- tive mood!. The following story is not taken from real life- but deplete the tragedy of many homes today, the solution of which can be found only 4n parents or guardians taking child- ren hildren and young people into their con- fidence; in revealing to them the true •story of life; in instructing them in the dangers whi•oh confront the youth of today; in malueg close companions of their children,• in so dealing with teat their family at their boys .and girls will confide in them; and lastly and most important in teaching them to love their Heavenly Father, who alone can keep thein from falling.

When castors on furniture fall out too easily, remove them, pour melted area into holes and insert castor before wax hardens.. After wax sets, the castors will not fall out. 3. Glycerine is better than oil for lubricating egg -beaters, meat - cutters and juice -extractors. •It is tasteless and hiumless, 4. To safeguard against the danger of spontaneous combustion and resulting fire in the home, keep all oiled rags used for cleaning and dusting in capped- glass jars -or tight -fitting containers.

PAGE 7 <i ode* happy girl. We sent her to school here. After two years in High School she declared, she would go no longer. We tried to persuade er hto go on and when we found that was us'eless we endeavored to have her stay at home with us promising' her music or painting les's'ons, as she was fond of those'things. - Finally we had to give into her wishes and .she took a business course. At • the,' con- clusion of that 'she went to. the 'city where she scoured an Office position. . Things went well for a time. Then: there was a longe* period between -her letters. Gradually We seldom heard from her and ear visits home. were few. I had made, a mistake that I did not go to the city' to find out what • kind of a -life 'she- was reading,- but we trusted her: One day we received a telephone call telling us to come at once to the --Hospital, that our daughter was ill. We tools the, first train. When we arrived we were told Jane was in the Matemnity ward. 'Such a shock! My husband' was so enraged he refused to ge to see her in spite of the fact that the nurse said she was dangerously ill, He insisted that we go home and lea•. ve,her to her fate. I had to make my choice between my husband andr my daughter. If ever I prayed, for guidance I did. so then. I went to my child, my husband, in anger, went home. I stayed until Jane was out of danger. When I reached home her father had stroked her name eat of the fam- ily Bible; he had gattered together as many of her things as he could find and had thrown therm in the corner of the woodshed, Ile refused to allow me to mention her name. • Through it all our child was dear to my heart, God had given her to tis and we would be answerable to Hint if we cast her out, probably to fall again. Wizen it came time for Jane to leave the hosital she was scut with her baby to a nursing home, She wrote to us both; but her father refused to listen to anything about her. Never will I forget those weeks. Finally word came that our loved one was seriously ill. I had to go alone. The Doctor told me she might linger for a few weeks, but that her case was hopeless. What was, I to do? I could not remain away from home end yet I could not tape her there, was there still a God in Heaven and why did Ile allow such things to hap - yen? I went back home determined that tomo what would 1 would bring our dear cue to spend her last days with us. My husband met me at the stat- ion. He did not even ask for Jane. At the supper table George saR, "Mary, you are looking very ill, 1 think I will have the Doctor come in and see you tonight" I said "George it is nothing' a Doctor can cure. It is the mental strain I have been through. Will you without getting angry or in- terrupting the listen to lee till I have finished?" He promised to do so. . 1 began with our courtship and spoke of how things which were a temptation to others bad no part' in our love. I referred to our wedding flay; of the joy which •came into our lives when we realized that our hopes •were to be fulfilled; of how happy.we were when our Heavenly Fathom en- trusted us with the care of -one of His little ones. Thee L told hien that we had failed to bring her up to love God; we had allowed her to have her own way, If she had gained high honor we would have been so proud of her, but when temptation tante to her and she, in her own strength was not able to withstand it, we felt the disgrace ter- ribly failing to realize that we had not tante her ' tare g 1 on One whwouldo. Y keep he from falling. I went on into, the period of our trouble which we should have been sharing together, I then told hint that the days of our t daughter were numbered. -Tate thought of what people would gay seemed to be uppermost in his mind. I explained to him that site hacl fallen as many another girl had done and would do. No one should' cast a slur on her, for there was no telling' when the same trouble would come to their own home, Thein I told hiu decidedly that either Jane and her baby trust conte home .or I would ge and Stay with her to the end. In con- clusion I said, "George, you have never confessed Christ, but will, you not kneel with me while we talk this matter over with God. You have left rn'e to bear it alone, but God has not, Although I cannot undeista all the rea- son for it some time we both• will." I will never. forget that -prayer, George, put his arm around. me while I prayed that God would forgive, us HEALTH our sins, which were just as black in His sight as, that of our erring daugh ter, that He would keep Jane and her little one in This care; that He would bring George' into His 'fold and that He would lead us and guide us as to the future. When I fininshed George continued "God be merciful to rue a sinner." He then anti there gave his. heart to Jesus- Christ, asking forgive- ness forthe way he had treated his wife and daughter, Although • sorrow was our lot during the next fete weeks, we had our daughter in her own room, and the baby cooed in his crib all unconscious of the tragedy. I cannot tell . you •of • the joy 'there', was• in the band of Christian fellow- ship between Cheist, George,, Jane and I, for Jane too 'came into the fold. Jane was. with us for six menthe and left us with the assurance that we would Ming her boy up, if Gocl spared •us, to. love and serve. Jesus .Christ. That was many years ago. Ae yott know Jane's son has grown to man: - hood. We missed him when'He went to the city to college., He ]mows the tragic story of his mother. He- is now the minister of one. of the largest churches in 5— and is 4 true under - shepherd of the Great Shepherd', Al- though he has no recollection of his mother yet he seldom comes' that he does not go alone to her last resting place. To him, she is precious, for she is one of .whom Christ died, one of those dear to Him of whom He said "Neither do I condemn thee; Go and sin no snore." "PEG" v UNITED CHURCH HAD GOOD YEAR IN 1941 CONGREGATION LEARNS The following is taken from the "H'aileyburian" and refers to Rev; and Mrs. A. P. Addison; Mrs. Addison be- ing the daughter of Councillor and Mrs. N. W ,Trewartha. The improved financial position and the good work accomplished during the year 1041 were subjects of satis- faction to to congregation of the Hail- eybury United Church, when the an- nual meeting was held on, Monday ev- ening. While the .congregation Inas not shown rapid growth, ° Che church is in a healthy condition anti this eves made evident in the financial statement presented to the meeting. It was with great iatifaction that those present leaned that the mort- gage on the church building., held by the United, Church of Canada , had been eedtteed to $250, from the bal- ance of $500 owed at the close' of tate prevous year, and all sere looking ferward to the enol of 1942 when it is confidently expected the debt will be entirely wiped off and the con- gregation will have the pleasure o° "burning the mortgage." V Done In The Name of Morality In the proposition for a plebiscite which the Speech from the Throne an- nounces on Parliament Hill, there is a diabolical ingenuity on Prince Minis- ter King's part. For whatever the result may be, it will free his skirt; from obligations and give hint a new lease of political life. Consider' the proposition: '"My Ministers accordingly will seek, from the people by means of a plebiscite; release from any past commitments restricting the methods of raising hien for military -service." ' Now, you who. read this, which way are you going' to vote? If you vote Yes, to free Mr. Xing. from all previous political •commit- ments, you vote to give Mr. King con- tinued power with a free hand. If you vote No; to hold! him to his previous commitments, you vote against conscription. Because Mr, King's essential previous commitment CMS that he would never introduce conscription. So, if you vote Yes, you leave Mr. Ring free in power; if you vote No -not to release etisc him from lis liledge -you endorse his stand against•eon- sciiption. And if you happan to be a conncrip- ionist ,and vote to release Mr. King front his pledge against conscription you don't even get anything out of that. Because, Me. King makes no promise to 'introduce conscription even if the plebiscite gives bins a fres heed. This plebiscite is- clever; exceeding- ly clever, from a party, and personal point of view for Mr. Xing and the King Gover'innent, Whether it is 0 decent thing for the country's sauce is another matter. There is the danger, as The Joureal pointed out yesterday, that Canada may be split in two rac- ially atially once again, For if, as is gener- ally supposed the people of Quebec are mostly opposed stronglyto con- scription, they will vote No. -no release to Mr. King from. his pledge-=. while the rest of the country •may mostly vote Yes, -From the Ottawa Journal. 48 Native -Born Signers • ' And 48 States in Union When the 56 signers of the Dec- laration of Independence stepped forward to affix their signatures to that peleeless document, it is quite improbable that any of them thought that the United States would some day consist of exactly the same number of states that was represent- ed by the American -born signers. It is a .curious fact that exactly 48 of the signers were born in this country, which of course, exactly corresponds with the number ,of states in the Union now. Of these eight other signers, three came from Ireland, two each from England and Scotland, ending with. one from Wales. The majority of the signers were men of law, the barristers narrowly winning out in the race, with 16 signersas against 15 lawyers. An- other group won out with the same close margin of one, when as the record shows, farmers were repre- sented by only eight of their num- ber, while the merchants listed nine business men. Strangely enough, the military service had only two soldier -signers. The list ended with one college pres- ident, printer, brewer and a manu- facturer. The oldest living merne bei was George Wythe, a lawyee born in Elizabeth City, Va., who died in 1806. He was then 80 years old. Scientists Discover New Macro -Organism Facts New facts about the diphtheria bacillus have been discovered by Dr. Harry E. Morton, University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Thomas F. Anderson, research laboratories of the Radio Corporation of America. The new and powerful electron mi- croscope, which uses particles of electricity instead of light and mag- netic fields instead of lenses to let scientists see objects one -fiftieth the size of anything heretofore visible, enabled Doctors Morton and. Ander- son to record the location of chem- ical reactions within the diphtheria bacillus. They discovered in elec- tron microscope studies reported to the Society of American' Bacteriolo- gists that crystals of tellurium metal are formed from tellurite salts within the diphtheria bacillus. The fact that the diphtheria, bacillus and other micro-organisms could reduce tellurite salts to black tellurium metal has been known since 1900, but in the case of the diphtheria bacillus, it was ex- plained, it was not known where the formation of the metal occurred. Crystals of tellurium are not only contained within many of the diph- theria cells, the electron microscope pictures showed, but in some cases the etystals perforate the cells and extend into the surrounding space. e' Food for $1.87 Year British nutrition problems appear solved with the discovery by an M.I.T. scientist of a wonder cereal which can supply all the vitamins necessary to health for $1.87 a year per person. Disclosure of the pre-cooked cereal was made by Dr. Robert S. Harris. The United States gov- ernment has been given the formula -composed of the simplest of foods -and it already has been sent to Britain. br, Harris pointed out that when the preparation was used daily to supplement the present diet, it would bring 94 per cent of Amerie can diets up to highest nutritional levels and definitely improve the other six. Harris, who developed a new type of pemmican for the U. S. Antarctic expedition last year, said the new foods were a natural out- growth 01 the pemmican work, Art Development Art development in America is intimately associated with Philadel- phia since that city was the mecca of the first artists to arrive in the New World, Charles Henry Hart, Philadelphia art authority, and oth- ers claimed Gustavus Hesselius (1682-1755) was the earliest painter in America. Born in Sweden the same year Philadelphia was found- ed, Hesselius arrived in Christina (Wilmington, Del,) in May, 1711, and came to Philadelphia the same month. In 1717 he went to Mary- land, remaining until 1723, his paint- ings including a mural for church of St. Barnabas in Queen Aline parish. He returned to Philadelphia phis in 1735 and resided here until his death, He lived with his wife, Lydia, in a house on Market street near Fourth. Hesselius is also known as the first organ builder in America. Mystery Gift Cheeks Stop The days of angelic blessing for persons of Ave, • Mo., this Ozark mountain community appear to be at an end. Not since May, 1940; has one of the puzzling "angel of Ave" checks been received. Ava enjoyed national publicity during the first few . months of the year when opening the day's mail was something , like searching for gold in a nugget sprinkled creek bed. The "angel passed out more than $1,000 by approximated reckoning to folks living in this community by way of cashier's checks. The mayor got the last one in May. All efforts to probe behind the checks and discov- er iscover the "angel's" identity have failed: But it does look as though that neb- ulous individual may now live in Kansas City. All except one of the checks, was purchased in Kansas City.
