HEALTH 104 e Ma Jo THIS MODEST CORNER Is DEDICATED TO THE POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songs—Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad -But Always Helpful and Inspiring. SPRING 1942 7n. Canada the sun shines bright. The snow is melting fast. The fields now bare will soon be tilled For spring is here at last. The farmers soon will plant their grain, The gardener his seeds, The land will bloom with flowers bright In proof of freedom's creed. But over there in Europe's fields The land is black and, bare, The cannons roar and planes o.'erhead. Sow deep destruction there. The fields once full of waving grain Are red with brave men's blood. The cities' streets so bright and gay, Are thick with filth and mud. No laughter rings on city streets, No 'children voice their glee, For horror, hate and deeps despair, Are there for all to see, But ahl its spring in Canada And skies are clear and blue. #' No enemy drones overhead To bring swift death to you. No tyrant's hand is here to snatch 'our children from your breast, No one to make you toil and slave, Without a. moments rest, Yes, we are free in Canada, But oh! at what a cost. Btave men have died and many more Their homes and freedom lost. Now we must pay OUT debt to therm And give, thoughit may hurt, Until a bitter, tyrant foe Lies smittenin the dirt. Then spring will conte to everyone, All nations shall be free, To till the soil, to sow the grain In peaceful harmony. THE SHEEP is fleeced, the wool is spun The ball is wound, the time has come To cast the eighty stiches on. Hurry the needles in the wool, Carry the pattern to the sun, Watch the way the row on row Of knit and puri begins to grow, Building a world of threads that form Shield's for men, to keep them warm. Olive drab and navy blue, When some Canadian -head . comes through This neckline where we bound the thread Tighter, perhaps ,than suits his head, Maybe the feel will still be there of women's fingers, maybe some Finger mark or mark of thumb Vill prick his body like a dart nd make him warmer in his heart. REQUIESCANT In Memoriam of those killed in the as attack in the 2nd Battle of Ypres, April 3rd; 1915.) n lonely watches night by night, great visions burst upon my sight, or down the stretches of the sky 1he host of dead go marching by. trange ghostly banners o'er them float, .trange; bugles sound an awful note, nd all their faces and their eyes re lit with starlight from the skies. e anguish and the pain have passed d peace hath come to them at last, tit in the stern looks linger still se iron purpose and the will, ear Ohrist, who reigiest above' the flood f human tears and human blood, weary road these men have trod, house them in the home of God. Frederick George Scott, From the ondon "Times." ritten Iry a field near Ypres, Apai1, went by, And gray mists', trimmed the valley and the plain And thrust their tendrils up the sunless sky. He swung upon the maple's leafless bough, The cool beads of. the mist against his throat, And swaying there he poured a sacred, vow On beauty's altar, note by liquid note. With rare and finished artistry he spun A deli'oate design of bud and wing A. web of song all golden with the sun And fragrant with the essence of the spring. —Rabble Monlmtan. The following anonymous poem was culled from the pages of the English War Cry some time ago. Let us forget the things that vexed and tried us, The we tying things that caused our souls to fret; The hopes that cherishing were still denied us Let us forget. Let us foget the little slights that pained us, The greater wrongs that rankle some- times yet; The pride with which some lofty one detained us Let tis forget. Let us forget our brother's fault and • failing, The yielding temptations that beset, That he, perchance ,through grief be unavailing Cannot forget. But blessings mainfold, past all de- serving Kind words and helpful deeds, a coun- tless throng, The fault o'ercome and rectitude un- swerving Let us remember long. The sacrifice of love, the generous giving, When friends are few, the handclasp warm- and strong, The fragrance of each life of holy living, Let us remember long. Whatever things were good, and true and gracious, Whete'er of right has triumphed over wrong, What Iove of God or man has render- er preeior:et, Let us remember long. -Anon., THE MIXING 1UWL 9y ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economist SPRING HOUSECLEANING Hello Tiotnsmakersl The return of Spring's delightful days reminds. us again of our `Spring Houseclean- ing' duties. 1•t ,i practical patriotism to clo a thorough job of keeping ev- erything we have in good condition --- not only the electric cleaner:, mops, brushes, metal utensils; polishing cloths; etc. Let's do everything we east to rsaake them' last longer (be- cause many materials used by war in - 1915, dustiies will not be available in future for our civilian needs.

The Land .�.�..w..«,. r.�..�....�. By Dr. J. H. Jowett, in sopaking of the Art gallery in London, England, said "All sorts and conditions` .of people were there, rich and poor, well dressed and beggerly, students and artisans, soldiers and sailors, young people just .out of school and old folks bowed down with age but without one siugie exception they stopped be- fore one picture in the gallery and gazed with silent reverence upon it It was the picture. of Jesus upon the Cross" Hal Obrist net died for us thero would' have been no ressurrection— there would have been no eternity to spends with Him. His death was not an end of all things as the Aiposlties and descipiles of that time beleived.. It was simply the beginning of a real life. We read the story of the crucifielon and gaze on the painting or reproduc- tions of the "old, rugged -cross" and it brings to our minds thoughts which nothing else on earth .can ever dove - lope. The Easter season is past and we have not May the memories which are ours of the by gone days, but also with the resurrection we enjoy the assurance of the future. Easter stands at the place where it peers back to the empty tomb and looks forward to eternal life. Had Christ not died for us, there would have been no resurrection. We are told in the Bible that there is a Heaven, "In my Father's house are many memories,' if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I ans there ye may be also." Jelin 14:2,3, Matthew- 13:41 atthew13:41 instructs u's that there is also a hell" The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gath- er out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furance of fire, there shall be wailing and gnash- ing of teeth." We like to read the Bible and be- lieve that there is a Heaven; but we well argue that there is no Hell. We fail to realize that if one portion 'of the Bible is true, it all must be tree. Can. it be possible that there are those so foolish that they will not realize that God has told us in His word that if we will. not accept Him as our Saviour we trust spend etern- ity in the region over "which Satan rules and where just punishment will be our lot? Simply doing good works will not save :us from that future, our only salvation is, in Jesus Christ. We must accept Him and show to the world that we are His. The fact that soine one else professes Christianity and does not live up to it will be no shield for tis; at the. Judgment. Each one must answer for himself or her- self, When our loved •ones pass on we, with eagerness, look up the passages which tell of their future happiness. God' forbid that any of tlern should fail to reach that land of joy! In reply to a sister'sepieading that her brother a man past the three score years and ten should accept Christ the brother replied. "There will be a great many in Heaven that you never thought would be there." "That may be so" the asdster replied, "but unless you change and believe on Jesus Christ you will not be in Heaven to see who is there." , • There is only one way to assure its of that Heavenly Home. We must give up the 'things of the world anal accept that one condition essential to Eternal Life, "Believe on the Lord eyond PEG",r..•••.••••••••,,.•.w.••... ,.2 Jesus Christ.' We,would like to think that every- one will have a place in that happy Home beyond. We know that God is merciful, but He is also just. He has given His command's and He intends that they should be obeyed. Sonia .one has said "When our names are inscribed in the Lamb's. Book of Life they are also printed in large letters in Hell. As long' as we are travelling complacently along, the Devil just sets us to one side. He does not both- er with us for he knows that we are his servants but the instant we give ourselves to Christ he sends out a whole band of demons to prove to us that we cannot follow the Otto who gave Himself for us. Many have had the experience of a hard fight, but prayer has brought to their aid the Heavenly Host through whose aid they have been able to overcome the evil One. May God, grant that we may be- long to the class of those who cart say when asked what they know about Hell="I- have never gone very far into that question. I do not need to know anything about it for I never expect to go there." To many who clo not believe in Christ, death is the end of everything; others think that God is too kind, too metieiful to sentence anyone to ever- lasting Du -nisi -anent Our earnest study of God's word will give us a contrary answer to both these prob- lems. Let us not set aside our decis- ion till more convenient season. That time may never come. The sword of death strikes quickly. We may not have art opportunity even for a thought. Now is the time to send up material out of which Christ will build our mansion, Why is it Christians grieve and mourn over their loved ones who have crossed the threshold into eternity? Wily sip we resent the fact that God called then to Himself? It is quite natural that we,should be lonely, for we miss them even when they are away for a short visit. We are only pilgrims here journeying on to a better land. An elderly Aberdeen minister was leaving the old hone where his family )tad• been born and where he and his wife had lived many happy days. The furniture had ail gone, still lie walked around the empty house. Finally a servant said to him, "Sir, everything has gone and the new home is better than this one. Come away" It ipught him a lesson which he never forgot. Are we ready for the Master's "Come away?" What a joy it will give us to hear His call and to know that as Christians we can answer in the words of Charlotte Elliott, "O Lanib of God, I come." "When on my day of life the night is failing, And in the winds, from unsunned apogee blown, I hear far voices out of darkness calling My feet to paths unknown. Some humble door among Thy many mansion's, Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease, And flows for ever through heaven's green oxpansions The river of Thy peace. There front the music round about me stealing I fain would learn the new and holy song, And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing, The life for which 1 long" "PEG" POLISH ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNNE Lt.

Story -telling shots like this are easily obtained with a simple lox camera, of the type thousands of us possess. 1 ,TANY camera -hobbyists do not y' a have access to zoos, so iaek the opportunity to picture wild ani- mals, but there are two other groups—pets at home or domestic animals on the farm—that are avail- able to almost everyone. And, I believe that they are just as inter - eating, and maybe better, for pic- ture purposes. Most of our homes have pets and a good colleotion of pictures is al- ways in order because dogs and cats have definite personalities which can be portrayed With the camera. Often a picture -biography of a pup- py—telling of his daily life and activities—is about as interesting as a similar picture -story of a per- ean,- Children usually are fond of pets, and as they play together or merely pose, the amateur photog- rapher has a splendid chance to get natty appealing snapshots. Around the farm, there are dozens of opportunities for really flne ani- mal pictures. Consider, for example, a herd of cows homeward hound from pasture, work horses plowing fields or hauling a load of harvested grain, or sheep grazing on the hill- side. And don't forget farm fowl— a hen mothering her brood of chicks, a rooster perched high on a fence post, or the proud turkey as he struts around the yard. All these are photographic material of the finest order. Keep your eyes open for inci- dents that will give a story-telllug flavor to your snapshots. Wee% for the dignified ducks as they parade to the pond, or for horses standing with their heads together as if in deep conversation, sheep being sheared, or the little farm girl with her pet lamb. For humor phis ap- peal, try a few shots of a long eared donkey or smile, or six or seven little pigs "at dinner." You don't need special camera equipment for good animal photo- graphs. Ail you really must have is an observant eye arid a willingness to wait until the best pose or ex- pression occurs. Start a picture story of pets and animals. Such a collection will make a fascinating aibmn, well worth your time and effort. 353 John van Guilder Don't ret Your Liver: MakeYou n Invalid! People who are off colour say they're liverish or their fiver is bad: Da you know how serious this is that it may lead to permanent ill health — your wholesystem poisonedandbroken down? • Your liver is the largest organ in your body and most important to your health.
