Able?" If not • try and secure one and place it in • such a position that -from time to time you can glance at it and rea- lize the full meaning of its message. Each tine you look at it you will receive help from the thought that •although often we alone cannot com- bat the things of the world yet with 'Christ as our Companion we are more 'than conquerors. . If we are followers of the meek and lowly Jesus passages from His word will associate themselves with that text how happy we will be in the thought that —He is Able!— He is Able to keep us from temp- tation. There are none of us who have not been tempted and not one of us who has not fallen many times before the tempter. There is only one, Jesus Christ, who is able to stand against the wiles of the devil. How often we have thought. I can never live above that temptation! "No matter what it is .you, can overcome itill you just keep in close touch with Hire who is Master even over the devil himself:.' , Two friends were speaking reeeht- ly about branches of the Lord's Work being dropped for the sum- mer months. One was in favor of -this often discussed question of closing the Lord's House for the evening ,ser- vice diskontinuing Sunday School! and Prayer meeting on account of the _ fewness of those ,who would attend, The other one said "Wel},1-am-rtot-lit favour of it. The Lord's helpers cease their work and 'the Saviour is left alone to carry' on Hilnself. At the same time the devil and his host of demons never cease their efforts, not :for one second;' "PEG" We knew in our own experience, that if we have been tempted and have • fallen time and again and if we have come to the Lord and ask Him to help us that in the majority of cas7a . We have been freed from temptation but just as soon as we stop pray- ing for help, the devil is right there ready to crowd in again and before we have had time to realize that Christ is waiting to help uswe have fallen. So it is in His church word —at this season of the year the church of- ficials and Sunday School teachers tneet and. in .many instances, without r consulting the Lord at all, they de- cide to close the organizations for the Summer months. Then there are times when we say "I have spent much time over such and such a matter pertaining to the church and I feel led to do as I have 'done." Maybe we have prayed but if we are honest withee selves we must acknowledge that our minds were made up before we began to pray at all. There is one thing certain God will never want us to give up His, work unless it is abeoiutelynecessary and in that case He will exect a sub- stitnte to•be provided, Yes, the Lord` is able to help us to overcome 'temptation no natter in what form it comes. There is another very important part in our lives where Jesus is able to save us, so to speak from ourselves that is otir temper. Did you ever live in an apartment house or a semi-detached dwelling and hear the "free for all fights" which go on it maybe between husband and wife, father and son or even mother and daughter. How disgusting it all is! Usually; it is over some paltry trifling thing which is not worth thinking about and would not occur if we did not let our temper get the better of us. What happens. in the home of some one else is just as likely to occur'in •onr own. On several occasions a women doing institutional work spoke in ' a very rude manner to some of those over whom she had charge.: A new comer who was not used to that sort of thing was feeling very badly abed something which had been said to her, Another inmate said to her "0h, do not bother about her, a screw it has gone loose again." After all that is just what it usu- ally means when we lose our temper. We need a screw driver to fasten down the different parts of our make up. That screw driver is prayer. Who- the -most injured--by-our outburst of temper? Why, we Our: selves, ,but we do not seem to have sense enough to realize it, Very often we do things and say things which will slay with us as long as memory lasts. The .tradgedy of it is that those nearest and dearest to us nearly always suffer. 1 What is usually the cause of this "flare up"? It may be some physical ailment which it not looked after will heave us with a complaint'much more serious than we already have or it may be we are over tired. Just now perhaps we are working harder than we have ever done before, If everyone would do his or her part. there would be no need of this over-' work, but as in peace times there "are always those who are willing 'to stand to one side and let some one else bear the burden. Should we be- long to that class are we not ashamed of ourselves? If we are not then we ought to be. ` Then too there is the difficulty that we want to work in too much pleasure with our daily toil. We do not allow ourselves enough ;time for rest and consequently when getting uir time comes we are not ready to begin the work of the day; our nerves ate on THE MIXING BOWL By ANNE ALLAN . .

The other sea- sons are fine too—but springtime has a special flavor of its own ... one that is easy to capture with your camera. New spring clothes --these are material for excellent snapshots, indoors or out. Cheerful spring days, more sunshine— these Invite walks and hikes and drives, all of which produce good pictures. Even the sudden showers produce oppor- tunities for busman -interest shots— folks scurrying for cover, the wet streets as the sun breaks out again, reflections in the :bright clear pud- dles on sidewalks and at the curb, children making mud pies after a brisk rain, or damming up the gut. ter for a pond to Boat small boats. Indeed, picture material is every- where. It's a grand season to be alive and. outdoors, with a camera to record the things you see, and to bring them home "for keeps." In your springtime shooting, you mustn't overlook the first flowers and blossoms. These can be snapped oven with .inexpensive cameras. To get effective close-ups, you simply slip a portrait attach- ment on the camera lens—or, for extreme close-ups, a."plus-two" or "plus -three" attachment lens. When using these slip-on Ienses, You meas- ure the distance from camera to subject very carefully, to get it. just right. But the exposure is ex- actly the same as for any other shot. Reserve a section of your album for springtime snapshots—and see how well you ,can 1111 it. New dress, new foliage on the trees, early gar- dening activities, "tidying up" out- side the house and onthe lawn, painting, beating carpets, putting up the screens—these • are all Die. New clothes and shoes -as well as , the first flowers, the first trees to bloom, and general home clean-up— are material for your springtime picture story. It's a chapter worth telling in pictures. tures for the collection. Make a real picture -history of springtime as it affects your fancily—and you'll have a group of snapshots that is well worth while. 2 John van Guilder •
