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

There :is a strengthin swirling dep-

'Intrudes upon the scheme .'
'Of nature, and no haste, n,o-pounding

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

2. Foods should not be pot through a
sieve while hot — especialsy foods
for babies and convalescents.
3. Frying destroys vitamins and en -
cages fat — so avoid frying when-
ever possible.
4. Cook vegetables in small amount
of water and use whatever liquid
is left.
THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. N. G. asks: "What is the
reason for coarse -textural muffins
when I use sour cream instead of
sweet cream "'
Answer: If you use a tartrate
baking powder with sour cream, add
3 tsps. of baking powder instead'- of
4 tsps. and you must stop stirring
the instattt that the dry ingredients
are just dampened.
If a cardium phosphate or S.A.S.—
phosphate baking powder has been
used ,stir until dry ingredients are
dampened_.. and then 4 or 5 strokes
more. ;

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

An English visitor suggests: When
you empty a milk bottle rinse out
the milk that remains with water and
use it for cooking, in gravy, or sauce,
or puddings, etc.

Then there is that grace which
saves from sin. 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.,

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

Little javelins of stow.

Raise their heads as spring comes

Feeling warmth creep in again,
Smelling topsoil wet byrasn.
Now long furrows must be made;
Now work harness will be laid
On their backs. Submissive still
They will climb the greening hill,.
Hauling stonesthat thaw and frost
In the valley's pocket tossed.
Time to sow; then time to reap—
They and man their tryst must keep
With the earth. Thus, it is clear,
Runs the cycle • of their year:
Corn and timothy must grow
For another time of snow.

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:
