Gearey WIND: DUE EAST Along the beach.I see him run, His shadow falling on the sun His cloak' of clouds, streams down the sky, The dunes are dark while he moves .by. The air is filled, with rushing song, Waves whiten as, he skin's along, And sandpipers, with needle feet Stitch hems where shore and breakers meet. Vinal And everywhere .his footsteps pass, Like ecimitars, the shining grass Sweeps down to circle in the sand The urgent movements of his hand, Barbara Overton -,.ate PLUMS ?Mere they are, crowding along every branch .Ae fat se pigs: TR - ST By "PEG", A father, who always dealt very fairly with his family, came home one evening with a child's whip which he placed oyes the door, .Then he said to his son. Do you see that whip;? well, I was told that you were diving and swimming in a dangerous part of the river. ,Now What do you think would happen to your mother ' (who had been an invalid - for years) if some one rushed in and said you were in difficulty in the waters ? "The son replied" It would be a great sh- ock to her. Well, my boy, when I am at home it is alright for you to go th'eie, but when I am away I will use that whip on you. The love for his Mother and the respect the lad had for his father was enough to keep the boy • from disobeying and the whip was 'never used. The trust which :children place in their parents is indeed beautiful. A man one day said to a friend with whom ha was - walking 'down the street. See these two lad's coming? Well I want to show you something. He stopped the boys and lifted one up en top of a gate post. Then he told him to jump, Immediately the lad sprang into his arms. The other boy would not jump. In reply to the ques- tion what makes• the difference in the two the man replied. The first is, my own son and he knows me, but the other is a stranger's child whom I have never seen before. What a privilege It is for parents to teach. their children to trust them! ' Although we give it little thought we take each step of our daily walk with trust. A man was walking down the train street of a town anst stepped on the end of a grating. Being unsecurely fastened the other They have an airy bloom On their puce -colored skins, .And it catches the sunlight; 'So that if you look sharp: enough Each plum seems to be in a mist.

'Cause England is at .war? Why are they fighting now. Dad, what are they fighting for? What does it mean to you, Dad,, to babe and mums and me? The Germans won't come here, from away aeross the sea. So why should you go there, Dad, and leave us here to cry? Is it 'cause England owns us? Is that the reason why?" His eyes looked widely at me, i tightly. held my son ' And this is. how I answered his ques- tions one by one. "We fight when England calls' use, for in her sacred keep The ashes of our fathers lie in her soil -asleep And many times for England they fought that she'd be free And they are part of England, and so, my son are we And some may pass her by, lad, and some may scorn' her hand. But we must be forever a part of that fah land . For everything we have, son, that's good and fine and just Wab washed in British' blood. and giv- en to us in trust. "And we must keep that trust, son, against the force of greed, And fight beside • old England when- ever she's in need. And once again she's calling aerosis the Empire wide. And all her Empire answers 'You'll find us ,,at .your aide, _ Oh yes, we're owned by England, but We own, England, tom.

A young soldier had a very critical illness. When he recovered his Mother said to hili "Son, you are I.going into the battle line again, have you thought what would hap- penal, to you if you had not been spare. Yes Mother, replied the young man. It would have been alright, for I am 'trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ. Have you boys and girls,been brougltt.up with that same trust? At tines in recent years it has been with fear that we have ,tuned in to lisien' to *Prime ' Minister Churchill Although he explained, in detail, that in spite of the fact that things app- eared darkand that in all probability there were months of struggle ahead yet there was the assurances that if we would trust in God, In him and in his supporters that all would be well, Trying indeed would be our outlook just now if we could not trust We • react from. time to time that people, receiving an inkling that some commodity is to be rationed, rush -to the counters selling these di- fferent things hoard a quantity of the said article: We cannot trust om' government to substitute something to take its place. Even in this strug-' gle there are people who have the money and -are selfish enough to buy and buy much more than is necess- ary thus depriving those who have not the money to lay in a stock. Our reaction towards these different ra- tionings should be. Well, if my count- ry needs my help in this way I can very well do without these things, I am not going to hoard and leave others in need. There are many things which we can hoard and against which the go- vernment has no law. They are things which are personal to each one of us. These consist of such characteristics as courage, truth, honesty, love. re- liability. If we would only strive to keep adding to, these how much happ- ier we would be ourselves and what joy we could bring into the lives of others. Perhaps at ao time in the history of the world has there been such need. ,of trust as there is to -day. Not only do those who ,are in the field of battle require its help, but . also, those who who are waiting+, anxiously at home Our constant prayer should be. Thy will, not mine be done, The outcome may not be as we would wish it now: but sometimes either here or in eter- nity- we will thank God' that he dealt with us the way he did. Is theta any thing more beautiful than the thought: I love my Saviour and will trust Him to carry •me safely through whatever is before me., We have all watched a Tittle child in tears running to his mother.

OG'hrist- mas . broadcasts gave a quotation which has been used many times. "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into . the 'hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than the known way." As we thinkef those words we can. each one of us claim them as •our'own for we have all come and will come through trying times where only Chr- ist can comfort us; we offtimes could not go on if we did: put our handinto the hand of God and allow 'ourselves to be guided by Him. As we read God's Holy Word we find many instances of where people have put their trust wholly in`God and he has delivered them out of their troubles. • Ere we lay aside this paper will we not take tite time to memorize the fo- llowing ,beautiful lines. Then allow arms around him and soothe him to sleep.' How symbolia that is of Christ Deuteronomy 33-27 tells: us.

You can simplify back- grounds, eliminate undesirable parts of a scene, control arrangement— all by moving left or right, forward or backward, or pointing the cam- era up or down. Consider a picture of a person outdoors. Stand back several feet and you get a landscape view with a'• figure in the foreground. Stand only a few feet from the subject and you get an informal portrait With a Minimum of background. In other 'words, it you want to fea- ture a person—get close; if it is a landscape you want—stand back.. A atraight•on front view of a person is all right at times. A diagonal, quartet view, or a side view, however, will 'usually yield a more appealing picture. Of course if there im a real reason for taking a front view, by all means take it: lewpoints.

The illustration above, for ex- ample, was made with the camera at a low level, and pointed up- wards. With the sky serving as a plain background, made possible by the•„point of view, the boy and girl "stand out" and become the prin- cipal rin cipal interest in the picture. Other subjects may be 'pictured better with the camera at a slight elevation, pointed downward. This angle is often helpful in showing details of subjects where the com- ponent parts need to be clearly separated. The next time you're taking pic- tures, try shooting the same subject from several different viewpoints. Then compare the pictures. You'll readily see how a careful c1oice of viewpoint • yields more appen1bs pictures. 340 John ,'n Guilder
