B XIETY • a If I really trust Him Shall- I ever fret? If 1 really do expect Hien: Can I e'er forget? If by faith I really see Him Shall I doubt His aid? If I really ,truly" love Him Can I be afraid? A story is told of Caryle. He was greatly troubled by a cock crowing in is neighbor's yard. One day he spoke to the owner of the bird about it. Te reply was "Well, he only crows two or three times during the night." "Yes, I know," answered Carlyle,, "but if you only lmeve'what I suffer- ed waiting for him to crow." That: exactly explains many of our troubles and anxieties. While we are living a peaceful happy life we are continually waiting for something to happen.. We are positive that some- thing*must surely happen to mar our. joy in life. As we look back over our lives how •often we realize that sickness has been caused by worry and how quickly we recover when that anxiety has been removed. In. God's holy word we have that beautiful recording of the visit of Jesus to the home of Martha and Mary and Lazarus. There we have thestory of two women typical of 'that time and also of today. Martha always over anxious and worried about everything and Mary, who was easy going and just took things as. they came. In visiting in homes to- day we quite often hear the remark, spoken by some one who is hurrying about probably preparing a meal "Where is Janet?" Janet will be found in one of the other rooms helping to entertain a visitor entirely unconscious of the fact that there is work being done in which she should NIGHT FLIGHT Somewhere in the skies tonight Our sons are riding high, O keep their souls, we pray thee Lord, Forever 'Heath Thine eye. We ask Thee Lord to be their guide, And guard their shining wings, Because they are so dear to u5, We ask of Thee these things. Where have they gone, bright souls who rode Those skies so unafraid? What rendezvous has now been kept? What summons now obeyed? We would not ask that, this eup pass, Though silently we yearned, When dawn at last comes stealing o'er, • To hear—"They all returned" Dear Lord we thank Thee for Thy care, Keep them from sun to sun, And when the last call comes for them, Then, Lord "Thy Will B6°Done." Isabel Todd Howell. MEN NEEDED. We go to church and fill •a space, We take our books, and find the place, And then we sing with unctuous grace And bid each one no time to waste, Life makes a challenge we Hurst heed, So in this little ode we plead: God make us men, a time like ours demands Brave hearts, clear heads and steady hands, 1MIen, whom the spoils of office can- not buy, Men, tvhont the, lust of office cannot kill, Men, who have conviction s and a will, Men, who can stand before all de- magogues And scorn their treacherous flatteries without blinking. Tall risen, sun crowned, who live above. the fogs, In public duty and in private thinking Weak men still slumber in the' shade And get -their thinking ready made, They croak like parrots in a tree, And being blind they cannot see. They hang around, on pleasure bent, And without thought their lives are spent, Lie down to sleep ,get up to feed, But never do' a noble deed. So, while the rabble with their thumb -worn creeds, Their large professions and their. little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo freedom 'weeps. Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps. To execute 'his perfect plan, Even God Himself became a man: The time is urgent once again, God make us men,'God make us men. Our God must rule, but only can! When every human plays the man. 'Twas part of his'creative plan, To make his masterpiece a pian. God rules this world but only when He leads the mighty --hosts of lien. We build great armies, man by roan, There is no other way we can.' With ships the seven seas we span, They cannot sail without the man. Our planes go up, the skies to scan, Their wingsare clipped without the man. be taking a part. Maty times by our thoughtlessness we 'cause worry, and anxiety to those who should be re- ceiving help from us but while they work we are quite Content to sit by and dream. Recently two friends said, "I spenit from two to two and • a half hours each morning reading and studying in God's word and in prayer." Is that wrong? No, many of our greatest Christian men and women have risen at three or four •o'clock in the morn- ing in order that they might spend hours in quiet meditation with their Heavenly Father. When we look at people like that and talk with them we marvel at the serenity with which they face their daily tasks and 'the way in which they take their trouble and anxiety to the feet of Jesus and leave them there. If we read 'God's word and trust His promises, which have never failed, 'our worry, as we choose to call it, can. Have no place in our lives. The trouble with us is that we have not got faith in God., We do not realize that God would not have allowed His son to come into the world and to die for us if we could not trust Him to carry our burdens. In spite of that we will ; persist in thinking that we have to carry the trials of the world. In some instances families through marriage or business relationships have dwindled down till there is just the father and mother left in their home. Then the father is taken and the motheris left alone, She will want to stay in her own hcnne, yet she dreads, the nights. For such a case there is' the consoling thought, "The God who cares for me in' the. daytime will care for me at night." With that one can pillow ,their head on one of God's promises "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also 1 - The march of mighty hosts we ban, When this is done we call the man, r To feed the world may be our plan, This can't be done without the man. So this is why we plead again, God make us men, Godd make us men. :Rev. J. W. Down, God send us men from some othe place Or give us men of another race Not make us men, our tasks t'o face. Stern duty calls with urgent haste him; and he shall bring it to pass.' Psalm 57:5. "Trust the Engineer eternal, Surely all His works are right, Though we cannot always trace them, Faith will turn at last to sight, Then no more the deepening shadows Of the dark and dismal way, There forever in clear sunlight, We'll enoy the perfect day." woman and her husband, one could not helpbut feel that_although very often the faith of that servant of God was tried almost to the break- ing point yet she cal vied. her troubles to tho One who has offered to share all our anxieties and in her own words she .tells us that He never failed her. We have every assur- ance that the Father who was so faithful to her will be the same to us. Let us take our burdens• to the Lord and leave them there. He will look after them. "PEG" THE MIXING BOWL Ey ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economic HOUSEHOLD LAXNESS HELPS THE AXIS Hello Homemakers! As head of supplies for the family," it is up to the homemaker to supply proper foods for energy, take Dare of the household •equipment and spend the household dollar wisely. This ae- eo'tnplished, there will be savings and the good habits of thrift we acquire will carry over after the war period. Every Government order from the Wartime Prices and Trade Board brings the homemaker a new chal- lenge -'a Challenge being met cheer- fully by all homemakers. For every restriction is the result of a war emergency and is made as a means of helping towards Victory for the United Nations Here are some of the• points to remember:— 1.Don't waste hot water—It takes fuel to heat every drop of water you waste. 2. Take is easy on wash cloths and towels—Wash in the water and not on the towels. Cotton tex- tiles are difficult to replace as. machines are needed to make uni- forms parachutes ,etc. 3. Be sparing on cosmetics—They are like many : other "luxury" items pleasant to have but don't waste them. 4.Te11 the men how to make razor blades last loitger—They may be stropped in,.an empty water glass: 5. Use electrcity only when you need it—Don't leave a light burn- ing uselessly. More electric pow- er is needed for war industries. 6. Don't turn on the radio unless you want to listento it. So often in life we become fearful over some huge mountain which con- fronts onfronts' us. We feel that God has ut- terly forsaken us, our prayers seem to go unanswered and fear takes such a grip on us that we feel we can never again be what we were before. What can we do about it? There are two things we can do. One it to allow ourselves to brood and brood over our trouble until it. really becomes something unsur- mountable; tmtil we become so wor- ried and troubled that we cannot at- tend properly to our work and, until we become' a nuisance to •ourselves, and everyone around us. The other way is to take the matter to God hi prayer. Ask Hini to keep us calm; to strengthen us in the belief that He knows the end from the beginning and that Re has power to combat everything which can enter into our lives. Let us gather together our troubles and take them to Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7 tells us "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you:' Why do we need to worry? For every anxiety that comes into our lives God has a promise in His word. Our trouble is that we do, not, read enough of the Bible to know where to find these promises. We have plenty of time to think of and read other things, but we make so little oppi5rtunity for the worth while things. Many of us can discuss the latest war news, we can comment on the most recent books and their. writers, but ask us to comfort some one with a message from His word and our minds is an absolute blank. There are many _families being brought up today who hardly, know there is a Bible. What are they go- ing to do in times of trial No other book can give them the comfort which can be found between Genesis and Revelation. Recently Mrs . Jonothan Goforth passed to the Great Beyond.

Min Iv•;•••=mumemnoommanameso•emmesaggeo, eSNAPSNOT GUILD BACKLIGHTING Backlighting gives the very pleasing halo about this little girl's head. You can get similar effects in your pictures If you watch the Tight. ,! r ICrHTING is, and always has L been, of the greatest importance - in picture-making—so today 'let's consider the subject of backlighting. There are several reasons why every photographer should frequently use backlighting In his picture -making.. First, it's an excellent means of dramatizing any subject. Second, it's one of the primary methods of adding variety and extra interest to any 'snapshot collection. And, on the third count, it's one of the most effective tricks .I know ' in producing out -of -the -ordinary pic- tures. All right, now what are the prac- tical aspects of. backlighting? In• other words, how can it be made to work for you in your picture -mak- ing, rather than against you? , Well, remember.' this: composing a backlighted picture will be no more difficult than composing any • other snapshot if you let your in herent goodtaste guide you. Exposure, however, is somewhat different for .backlighted subjects than for "normal" subjects. If—as in many cases—you want a sort of silhouette effect, then the secret lies in a very short exposure. But, if you should want a good deal of de- tail in the shadows, then you've got, to give at least 100 per cent extra exposure—twice as much as normal. However, don't worry too much about technicalities. Remember to shade thelens from the sun and compose simply, but in any event try making pictures when the light ls.coming from behind your subject. You'll find its one certain way to get dramatic, interesting pictures. 311' John vah Guilder
