`Bless Be The Tie That finds'
Dr. John Fawcett was at eine time.
:pastor of a small church in Wains-
.gate. In 1772 he received a• call to
'•Lond`on. After careful consideration'
he decided to accept the invitation.
-Time last day of liis preaching in
W ainsgate came and he gave the con-
,gregation,.which had been very loyal
to him his farewell message, The
:following day the wagons were loaded
"With the household' goods of the
minister .and his wife and they were
eready to depart. His much loved con-
.gregation gathered around him and.
<employed him to remain with them.
Feeling that they could not bear to
•'separate from those among whom
they had worked so long and happily
`they decided to stay. The hymn.
• "Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
• The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above."
"was written as a result, of that ex-
perience. It is a hymn, loved where-
+jevdr it tis sung, and understood.
-There is nothing finer than the love
of Christ which binds our hearts in
Christian fellowship.
As little children often while being
rocked to sleep we learned the words
•ef that beautiful hymn of Anna Bart-
lett Warner "Jesus Loves me, This I
Know, For tire Bible Tells Me So." On
:and on through life we add to our
store of hymnology until at the end,
'when our call comes to go up higher
'we are ready to sing "Jesus Lover of
My Soul, Let me to Thy Bosom Fly,"
•All through life we are dependent on
the love of God and it is that love
which binds us in Christian fellow-
ship."
of self.
3. We are all aiming to have a per-
sonal victory. We start out to do
something. It may be hard but we
want to feel that we have accom-
plished our objective. As we go about
our work day atter day, also in our
times of joy or of pleasure, we want
to feel that Christ is sharing His
love with us. As we receive it we can
!freely pass it on to some one else.
There is never an end of God's love,
and we need have no fear in giving
it away, for there will always be
more. •
Just recently the second anniver-
sary of the tragic death of Sir Fred-
erich Banting was observed. Those,
who had the 'privilege of knowing
the wonderful and clever scientist,
tell us that it was the love of his
work which made possible the discov-
ery of insulin, that, till then unknown
drug, which has been the means •of
at least prolonging the life of many
diabetic patients: It was that per-
sistent love of his task which led
him and his co-workers, oftimes
weary, to struggle on and on until
victory along this line of medical
science was at last gained.
What •are some of the principal
`points of that love?'
1. That love is for those who are
-lowly as well as those who are in
the higher social walks of life.
We have often , visited in homes
where money was a very scarce ar-
-ticle. It may be we have .been inter-
•ested in that hoarse for many years
,and have watched the family grow
tip and one by one leave hone. Event-
ually the old couple were left alone,
or were they alone? No, they had the
love of God in their hearts. They had
taught that sane love to their family
,and now the children are caring for
them. There is a love in that home
which, many times we` do not find be-
'
e- ante, we will understand more and
'tween parents and children of today. more the love of God towards us.
In the realm of song is there any-
thing more sustaining than the words
of that hymn by George Matheson,
written in an agony of soul, as a
prayer to his Heavenly Father, who
alone could comfort and uphold him:
"0 love that will not let eine go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee; ,
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That hi Thine ocean depths its
flow
May richer, 'fuller be.

PATEUlltlIl, PANCAKES
Hello Homemakersd— Pancakes —
those good, old-time favourites- will
be featured on Shrove Tuesday (Mar-
ch 10) in patriotic fashion. It used
to be the style to serve pancakes on
this day dotted with "gobs" of butter
and smothered inmaple syrup. Now-
aday they are served first of all for
their nutritive value. Pancakes made
of flour and milk are energy -giving;
served with meat, they substitute for
the proverbial potato; served with
fruit, they glorify the dessert course.
Here's a trick worth knowing—a sp-
lendid way to hide left overs. Put
pieces of meat, finely diced vegetables
or chopped fruit right in the pancake
batter.
til steam stops coming forth. Bake 1n
griddle until bubbles form, and sur-
face is still moist; then turn once.
6.—,,Serve .pancakes immediately.
Hurray! The syrup problem is
solved. Instead of syrup, try using
fruit juice thickened with cornstarch
(1 tb. per cup of juice). Your second
problem—waste of material and time
—is solved if you use our tested re-
cipes.
So just stir up the batter And your
pancakes will be ready to serve in
an amazingly short time—and who
doesn't like them!
4. Then we have the love of study-
ing God's word. To -day there are
many books on the market which
are not only not worth reading but
they are injurious. They are not
thought provoking, but in many in-
stances they are unclean and are not
fit for reading.
Do we make it a rule to read a
book before we pass it on to anyone
else or if a person lends us a book
which is not up our standard or
thought do we just pass it back with-
out any comment? Have we the
courage to say when asked how we
liked it "Well, I did not care for it.
I do not like to read .books or artic-
les which are not mo'ally clean?" We
must remember that we are judged
very often by the class of literature
we read.
We can never stake a mistake by
reading' the Bible or by memorizing
its passages. Let us make it a rule
to read a certain portion each day
and also to memorize at least two
or three verses. This is the highest
form of literature which we can read
and as we study it under God's guid-
Many young people in this age are

vows when they wish they had never
met one another and that they could

the questions of God's servant. Young
'people, do not take this very ,in -
portant step without consulting your
Heavenly Father. If we made this a
'matter of prayer there would not be
nearly so many broken hearts and the
divorce courts would have very little
to do. Christ has promised to guide
us. in all things and Ile certainly
'would do so in a natter of such mo-
ment as this.

AMBITION'S TRAIL
(Ella Wheeler Wilcox).
If all the end of this continuous striv-
ing.•
Were simply to attain
How poor would seem the planning
and contriving
The endless urging and the hurried
driving
Of body,,,lteart and brain!
But ever in the wake of true achiev-

There shines this glowing trail—
Some other soul will be spurred on,
conceiving
New strength and hope in its own
power believing
Because thou didst not fail.

Sour milk or buttermilk may be
used in above recipe instead• of sweet

(Excerpt)
How shall the world remember? Men

Our dead are all to many even for
Fame!
Man's justice kneels to king, and pays
no debt
To those who never courted her ac-
claim.
Cheat not your heart with promises
to pay
For gifts beyond all price so freely
given,
Where is the heart so rich that it can
say
To those who mourn: "I will re-
store your heaven"?
But these, with their own hands, laid
up their treasure
Where never an emporer can break
in and steal
Treasure for those that loved them
past all measure
In those high griefs that earth can
never heal.
Proud griefs, that walk on earth, yet
gaze above
Knowing that sorrow is but remem-
bered love.
Not thine alone the glory, nor the
sorrow,
If thou dost miss the goal
Undreamed of lives in many a far
tomorrow
From thee their wealness or their
shall borrow—
On, on, 'Ambitious' Soul!

IN WINTRY WEATHER
As I went down a snowy road •
In wintry windy weather,
The sun and wind and singing pines
Were chanting hyanns together.
The sun and wind and singing pines,
They took no note of me,
But I took up the tune with them
And sang it praise£ully.
I took up the tune with them,

Where Faith and Hope were still ten-

The deafening bass of the cannon,
the shrieking treble whine
Of bombs that blasted defenders of
Stalingrad's battle -line!
I heard the 'great heart of China
whose calm methodical beat,
Through all her long agony pulsing,
admitted no defeat!—
The clash of discordant symbols than
answered the cannons' roar,
And rose from ten million anvils of
the arsenals of war!
And this wild and awful music played
havoc with heart and soul
Till I prayed the Great Musician to
re -harmonize the whole . .
Then lo! this hell of man's forging,
this orchestration of fears.
Was held on a great crescendo ...
and I heard the Saviour's tears!
And I saw in this great struggle of
the soul against the clod
The Age's participation in the mar-
tyrdom of God!
Then I cried, "0 Muse, why be silent,
subdued by war's dark flood,
While others write epics of glory—
and write them with their blood?"

AN INVOCATION
I sought for an inspiration but behold
the Muse had fled!
My soul was saddened and weary, the
spirit of poetry dead!
Measured against the world's sorrow,
my verse seemed frivolous vain;
I closed my ears to the rhythm—but
my heart took up the strain
And I heard the syncopation of a
