SALA� TEA THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE. POETS Here They Will Sing You Their Songs --Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad—But Always Helpful and Inspiring. Ministering Angel New Style By Stuart Hemsley -Now that food comes prepared in cans or jars or canisters And ,cooking is as simple as sliding dawn the banisters, It seems a bride's curriculum should Dover, not the beanery, But engineering, metal -work, and modern home machinery. Wives thencould turn a skilful hand to things they didn't do before, Like screening in the summer porch, or. squaring off a two-by-four, Or fitting up the kitchen with a piece of new linoleum, Or adjusting carburetors to take lower -grade petroleum. A worthy bride-to-be would hate to prejudice or spoil her work By flunking out in plumbing or in elementary boiler work; She'd want to fix the sprocket-wheed on Tommy junior's bicycle, -And apply her thermal studies whenthehouse is like an icicle; She would, in wifely duty, be distraught and inconsolable If flummoxed by a gadget thermostatically controllable. The,only thing she'd ask for if her courage needed bolstering Would be some major project like -a chesterfield upholstering: In short, a bride would want to take this added vow: "I 'promise I'll Perforin without a question all repairs around the domicile." And then, 0 fellow husbands! could we—and here's -the joker—aim To sit, untroubled, nightly in that all-important poker game? WHEN I WAKEN IN THE NIGHT 'When I waken in the night, Housed by training planes in flight, Strange the sound should bring you near: ".You, three thousand miles from here. Also strange I do not find .doubt or fear within my mind, Fear for you whonightly fly Through a troubled, alien sky, 'That people in the darkened land's 'Nay be released'from ruthless hands. When I waken in the night, Hearing hidden planes in flight $ turn again to sleep and know That God is always where you go. —Clara Bernhardt. "Give to relieve human suffering" is the slogan in this campaign. - Need we say more? None can refuse. For wherever human suffering is to be {Found there also is the Red Cross. Here is the expressive message of the Red Oross nurse: Wherever war with its black woes, Or flood ,or fire, or famine goes, There too go It Wherever strength and skill can bring Surcease to human suffering; , There too am I! 1 go wherever men may dare, I go wherever women's care And love can live. If earth in any quarter quakes, Or pestilence its ravage makes, 1iy help I give. The Cross which on any arum I wear ,The flag which o'er by breast 1 bear, Are but the sign. .I am the ambassador for you; I de what you would surely do, •If you were there! GRAY'S CREEK It warmms my heart to see a sluggish stream Searlhing its way along ""through endless fields of new -plough- ed grotmd Humming a whispered song. There :is a strengthin swirling dep- ths; no sound 'Intrudes upon the scheme .' 'Of nature, and no haste, n,o-pounding out Of forces on a wind -shaped: bank, But a stillness of purpose, without doubt A course sought out through dank And tangling, tawny grass ever veer Toward the river's call, In quietness andpeace, surely nearing The St. Lawrence, where its all Is. poured with lavish trust. And so goes -on The placid little creek— eGoes onto touch se manly, shores, some bright And shirring and some bleak, But following an immutable course: 'Tile stream slips on—is lost :In greater., depths far from its gentile. source. -H. I'. Hollister, Cornwall, Ont. STEWARDSHIP Quoted by the Rev. II. G. Watts at 'the Stewardship Conference To steel ourselves against the lust of ease, To find our welfare in the general good, To work together, merging all de- grees, j In one wide brotherhood. To teach that he who saves himself is lost, To suffer silent, though our hearts my bleed, To give, and not to count the cost, For other's greater need. WHO LOVETH NOT FLOWERS Who loveth not flowers is robbing his soul Of that beauty and joy that maketh life whole. He misses the richness of spirit that glows In the violet's• depths, in the blush of a rose. He estrangeth his heart from the peace that they bring, And he shares not in raptures that grow with the spring. In soft petaled daisies and sweet mignonette Is found blessed solace for life's care and fret. In the spiritual fragrance of lillies, pure white, The angels are whispering of heaven's delight. ' And iii myriad colors that nature doth paint Comes gladness to eye or sinner and. saint. With mystical glory they rise from the sod, Who loveth not flowers knoweth not God. —Charles L H. Wagner. BE HAPPY TODAY So often we look to a far distant day For the joys that we think life should hold.; We want to be happy, ,contented and gay But the world seems unfriendly and cola. We hope that tomorrow our ship will come in, That tomorrow success will arrive; We dream of the time when our luck will begin And we'll be mighty glad we're alive. And yet, when we ponder, we soon understand That our happiness all must .be ' gained From comforts and joys that near- est at hand -- That commitment is never attained Uunless we are living each glorious day To the full of it beauty and cheer. The blessings we ;seek are not long years away. But are always 'abundantly here. I I. Lawrence Hawthorne. ' THE MIXING HOWL By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economist THE MAJOR FRUIT IN MAY Hello Homemakers!

M. suggests: That if you make' up your sandwiches for your lunch • box the night before, leave GRACE Be truthful, be steadfast, whatever summons in case it should bring us news of fatality. For occasions like that we can look into our memory box and pick out that wonderful promise from Psalm 46:1, "God is our refuge and, strength a very pres- ent helpin trouble. Therefore will not we fear though the earth be re- moved, and, though the mountain's be carried into the midst of the sea." betide thee Only one thing do I ask of the Lord -- Grace to go forward wherever He guide thee, Simply believing the truth of His word," — My grace is sufficient for thee. In reply to the question of an in- valid as to whether it was right to ask God ,to end suffering by taking the patient. Home a visitor replied, "Not if in the request we say 'Thy will be done' ". Throughout the length and breadth of our lands and other regions today there are thousands who are earnestly praying that God would end their suf- fering and take them to that. Heaven- ly eavenly Realist where hate, sin and pain are no more but where love and peace reign. In spite of their prayers the weary ones are left to drag on through days which are anything but pain free or happy. To many there is a great consolation in the fact that although their prayers are not ans- wered as they would wish them to be, Yet some day they will see the full plan of their lives and they will un - God can cause the nations of the world to cease their fighting in a moments tine. John 16:33 tells us, "These things have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In. the world ye shall have tibulation: but be of good cheer; I have :overcome the world." Are we ready far place? We must acknowledge that if we had peace tomorrow before the evening shadows gathered about us we would have turned our backs on Chri t and would again be setting out to enjoy the things of the world. Then too we are continually think- ing of being in want in the future. During the depression period there were many who knew what it was to be hungry. God has now givenus the derstand why God did not answer where -with -all to live. If we are try - their prayers as they could have wish- ing to be careful with our money we ed. can draw from that promise, "As thy day so shall thy strength be." One might safely say that there is no one of understanding years who, has not passed through trials when they have felt they could go no fur- ther; seasons when problems have confronted them for which they could find no solution; when they felt that they could not take one step, ahead as they knew not over what precipice they might fall. They prayed that God would see them through their difficulty, yet their prayers as far as they knew had received no answer. God seemed so far away that, to them, He could not hear. At some time or other bereavement becomes part of the life of every one. At such times we feel' that we cannot live without the one, whom God has' called. Home. Those loved ones are much hapiper where they are than we ever could have made them here. In loneliness and weariness, a .minister who has, had his holidays shortened by the death of his little child was endeavoring to prepare his ,sermon for the following Sunday, The burden became to much for him, and: he dropped his head in his hands on the table. Later, looking up, his eyes rested on a motto before Him, "My grace is sufficient for thee." It was worked in such a way that the "is" stood out prominently. He had pray- ed that the grace of God would supply his need and the thought came to him, "Why pray for something which God has already promised?" Those promisee are in His Word. Why do we not grasp them? He intended that we should or He would nothave had them placed there. Then thane are those who are ill, those to whom pain is a daily even hourly icompanion. So often they look forward to the future and th2illia "I can never go on with this," . Those who have been in painof any kind Mt realize just what that feeling it. God does not require us to suffer more than we can bear, 2 Cor., 4:16 says "The inward man is renewed day by day." We don ont need to plan for tomorrow nor yet for five minutes from now. He has given us .strength for now and when the -next minute comes we will find His strength wait- ing for us. "Put your trust in the Lord" Psalm 4:5. "God's precious promises, are sure, . Though He our faith may test, Then let us keep our eyes on Him, And in His wisdom rest." At no time in the history of the world has there beenso muchuniver- sal dread of the coating day. If we have relatives ora near friende in the ,fighting line we listen for the ring of the telephone or door bell and when we hear it we fear to answer its them unwrapped in the crisping pan of the electric refrigerator over night. hey will taste quite fresh at 1100n.

Since the beginning of the world •Christ is the 'wily one who has lived a sinless- life and He died .on Calvary in order that each one of us might have redemption from sin; that we may be able to live such an earthly life that when we finish our course here we may join Him in that Home, where sin cannot enter. Why? because Christ reigns supreme in that Heavenly Realm and Christ is the Master of the Tempter. At one time Gipsy Smith was hold- ing olding a testimony meeting. One after another here and there in the aud- ience people got up and said how Jas - us had brought them back from sin- ful ways, and had kept them follow- ing closely to Him. Some of these confessions involved cleeds for which. theyhad served' penitentiary senten- ces. Then Gipsy Smith got up and said "Men, listen, God has done wonders for you, but don't forget he did more for this Gipsy boy than for all of you put together. He saved me before I got there." Ts it not a wonderful thought that Christ cannot only forigve sin, but He has power to keep us from sin if we ask Him to. We fall into sin then we realize that we have not prayed that He would keep us from the power of the Tempter, Let Faith Increase! We know, though dark the night, day 'comes at length; And as our day is even so our strength Let faith increase, forbodings cease. Be slope Our Song! We ride„ a mortal storm as in a dream; Are not God's wisdom and His power supreme? Be hope 'our song, when time seems long. In Love Confide! For Love is as a burning, shining light Love knows no storm ,no shipwreck, and no night, Love will abide, God's wisdom guide., "PEG„ V TWO OLD mules—Jinny and Jack— One mouse -colored, one dull black Stoical, endure together Tyrannies of winter weather, Eat their timothy and corn, Shivering in the ancient barn Where through -cracks acute winds blow Little javelins of stow.

APSNOT GUILD TAKE CARE OF YOUR CA4RA Don't take the chance of missing fine snapshots like this because of a camera In need of repalr. Have your camera put in good shape now, and make it a practice to keep it that way. KEEPING his camera in good con- dition is always one of the prime jobs facing every photographer. But it's doubly important now. For just as there is a scarcity of so many other new goods, there is a scarcity in some types of new cameras. And that means we've all got to take care,.of cur present cameras and make them serve us as long as we possibly can. Keeping a camera operating smoothly isn't difficult If you'll make a habit of taking care of it. One of the greatest enemies of any camera is dirt, so clean your camera regu- larly, inside and out. For that you'll end a soft brush a big help, or you can actually blow the dirt out with a email rubber' syringe—the kind the druggist ,sells. Clean the dens with soft cosmetic lens tissues, or the kind that camera shops sell for the purpose, or if you prefer you San use a soft, clean Hatless cloth. Don't eieirtry to takethelend apart—you driir damage it•sartouely. ' • Speaking of "don'ts" 3n camera care, don't try to oil or grease any part of the camera: It doesn't need it. Next, don't ever try to force your camera if it fails to operate properly; or if it is broken, don't try to repair. It yourself. Those two items are among the principal causes of hope- Iessly damaged cameras. If your camera is badly stuck,or needs re- pair, by all means take it to your dealer, and let him place it in the hands of a competent camera mechanic. And don't expose your camera` to the effects of sun, rain, and sand, Finally, It's a wise plan to send any good camera hack to the manu- facturer for"cleaning and incidental repairs at least once every two years. And, keep it in its case al- ways—for better protection. Take care of your camera and' 1t will never fail you When you're set to make tine snapshots like this week's illustration: gqg John van Guilder
