times to stick to the first "No", but
before the coinenand is given it should
be well thought, out and unless there
is some exceptionally good reason it
should not•be changed.
"Jim, • conte on down town."
"Dad says I have to stay in the
yard,"
"Arw, go and ask your mother :she'll
let you."
So Jim gees and asks his mother
with the result that Jim receives per-
mission to go. It may be there is a
resultant quarrel between. the father
and mother just because they do not
work together in the bringing -up of
the children. The child is not taught
that when the one parent says. "No"
that he should not approach the other
parent, with the sane question.
Children soon learn the• different
tactics of getting what they want.
The fact that the parents cannot
say "No" and mean "No" becomes a
daily reminder to the children that
they need not be particular how often
they say "No" and, mean it.
Just for that reason there are many
of our young men and women today
who are actually afraid to say "No."
At an afternoon meeting in a
church recently the minister was ask-
! ed the question by a young woman,
"Is it right to dance or play cards?"
The minister said "Is there any doubt
,in your mind about it?" The young
(girl who had just'aocepted Christ re-
plied "Yes ,there is." The minister
answered, "Whenever there is any
doubt in your mind as to whether a
thing is right or wrong always take
the way where there •-is .no doubt.
There is no doubt in your mind that
it is right not to dance. or play cards.
therefore take that way." There is
always a yes or no way and if we
simply apply the rule given to that
young girl we cannot go far astray.
As one listens to the young men
and women coning from the beverage
rooms and realizes that their down-
fall is simply a result of -not being
able to say "No", a habit learned per-
haps 11T their early days, one cannot.
help but think what a tragedy their
life is not only for themselves, but
also for the members of the family.
Can we not each one of us, try by
cur example to show to these young
people some of them intender years,
that they should cultivate the. rower
to say "No"? > One form of amuse-
ment very often leads to another. Let
us all say "No" right at the very be -
ginning, then we will not have to say
'it when our character has been brok-
1 en or worse still when we are no long-
. er able in our own strength to say
"No" and when we refuse to ask
God's help to live the life we should.
There are many times when to say
"No" means a sacrifice. We- may
have decided; to go on a pleasure trip
and something has come in our way
which was a duty and we have had
to say "No" to pleasure. As we look
back over our lives how much happier
we have been because we have had
the power to put ourselves to one sido
and do that which we know to be
right! '
THE HAND
The hand of man is a sapient thing
For the thrust of sword of ' lute -
playing,,
For sowing the harvest or gathering
m, •
For works of mercy or deeds of sin.
The eagle's wings may bear him far,
From cloud to cloud, from star to
star;
But the power which governs the sea
and, land
Is the power which lies in the human
hand.
It grips the lightning ,it tames the
sea,
It builds the worlds that are to be;
Ages of labour and strife out -worn
Are limned on the hands of the babe
unborn.
The prisoned soul behind the eyes
Maj' read the .secret of the skies,
But the thing which works the scheme
God planned
In this question of saying - "No"
there is a wonderful lesson for our
boys and, girls. We all, many times,
come to the place where we have to
makea decision and how often that
decision is the turning point of our
lives. We may have been travelling
the straight and narrow way and a
temptation comes along. We failing
to realize that we are powerless in
our own )strength, do not ask help
from the Higher Power and we start
on a downward path. Fortunately
for us we can, even after we do fall,
ask' forgiveness and loome back to
God.
Never in our lives, unless we com-
mit the unpardonable sin is there a
time when we cannot tutu back: God
is always ready to receive us when
we are willing to accept Him and to
rededicate our lives to Him.
We are told that in the transpor-
ting of some of our big warships over
the Atlantic there is a point of "No
(peturn." When the bomber or what-
ever it may be once crosses that line
it must go on for the simple reason
that they cannot carry enough gas to
"Courage, brother, do not stumble,
Though the path be dark as night,
There's a star- to guide the humble.
Trust' in God and do the right."

HIGH FLIGHT
(John Gillespie Magee)
Posted in all Pilot -Training Centres
in the British Empire.
Oh, T have slipped: the surly bonds of
earth,
amomommovan
And danced the skies on laughter-sil'-
vexed wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the
tumbling mirth
Of sun -split clouds—and done a hun-
dyed things
You have not dreamed of -.wheeled
and soared am swung
High .in the sunlit .silence. Iiov'ring
there;
I've chased, the shouting wind along
and flung
My eager craft through footless halls
of air.
Up, up the long delicious, burning
blue
I'v'e topped the wind-swept .heights
with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle flew;
And while with silent, lifting mind
I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of
space,
Put out my hand, and touched the
face of God.
This poem written by a nineteen
year old youth who was killed in ac-
tion with the R.C.A.F. in December,
1940, has been ranked by Archibald
McLeish with Rupert Brooke's "The
Soldier." and McOrae'b "In Flander's
Fields." It shares a case with both
these poems in a newly opened exhi-
bition

TURTLE PRODUCES 36 EGGS
While rolling a field last week. Mr.
Wm.»Gow ran over a mud turtle, who
was apparently, in the process of lay-
ing eggs. Mr. Gow immediately cut
the turtle\ open and extracted 36
eggs, all of which were nearly as
large as a "batity" hen egg, only per-
fectly round. The eggs were of a
rubbery substance, and were of a
whitish pink colour. Mr. Gow said he
intended to deposit then in a pail of
sand, just as an experiment, to see ,
how many hatched out. He's going
to give us the results, so watch for
further developments, -Blyth Stand -

POPS Its, PORTRAITURE
Simple props, such as the tennis racquet and visor worn by this attrac
tive model, Will help to make your Informal portraits successful.
INFORMAL portraits' sometimes
1 fail because of two reasons: first,
the subject may be one of those
People who just Can't appear at
ease before a camera; second, the
subject has nothing to do and thus
appears artificially posed. There's
not too much we can do about the
first situation, but it's easy to
remedy that second condition. Just
introduce a few "props."
What are props? Well, in its pho•
tographic sense the term covers
practically any existing or fancied
object. But generally speaking,
props for informal portraits include
only ordinary items foundin almost
any home. For instance, in this
week's illustration the tennis equip-
ment could well come under the.
heading of props. Perhaps the sub-
ject is a tennis player—it doesn't
make much difference—because she
looks as if she had 'been playing;
And the props 3n the picture are.

.Clothes, although most of us don't
think of them that way, come under
the heading of props, just as do
books and chairs. Different clothes
will create different moods in in-
formal portraiture.' For instance,
consider how changed our, tennis
player might appear in an evening
gown. Take advantage of that fact
the next time you picture people,
Show them in several different
types of clothes. •

drams, different types of hats, etc,
It will help to make your informal
portraiture more interesting to your
subject, as well as to you.
