end of the war. Why? Because peo-
ple are not coming back to God the
way they should. We felt at 'the end
cf World War I that we.had learned a
lesson 'and 'that we would turn our
faces toward our Master and try not
only to' be His Servants, but endeavour
to bring others to Him. What has'been
the result of all these promises? Like
the challenge thrown to us by the dy-I
ing soldiers of the last war we have
lost sight of our good resolutions and
instead of trying to advance His
cause we have only lowered our stan-
dards.. People who have for years
stood up for Christ and His cause,
have inonce instances at least put
their hard in that of the World and
have agreed to things which years
ago we would have been shocked to
have found ourselves associated with.
We have, been troubled to hear people
whom we thought were real follow-
ers of Christ agreeing with people
of the world in questionable amuse-
ments. -
In the face of such things as that
can we say or even think that we are
ready for Victory? Christ holds Vic-
tory in His power and if we will not
come to' Him we may be assured that
He can plan for the future without
our aid.
God has in a miraculous way spared
our country. He has proved time and
again that He is our Refuge, Duet.
33, 27 says "The Eternal God is Thy
Refuge,".nnd we must say with Psahn
124: 2.3 "If it had not been the Lord'
who was on our side, Then they had
Iswallowed us up quick."
We also say "The Allies are on
the side of right and God will not let
them be defeated," We take for
granted that that assertion is true,
but we have a long way to go yet be-
fore we deserve that reward. God has
His own way of doing things and we
have no right to be over confident.
Christ is on the side of right and
we must, yes must, come back to Hinz
before any real victory is ours.
Even after Germany is defeated,
there is Japan, that wiley nation, to.
be dealt with, and then there are the
pace terms which it'will be no easy
'matter to draw up, May God be asked
Have We Remembered?

November 11-1918— What a day
of rejoicing! Very early in the morn-
ing people from all parts of the coun-
try gathered at their nearest town or
village centre. What was the mat-
ter? The Armistice was signed. Af-
ter four years of fighting, in which
thousands upon thousands of our
.young men and women laid down their
lives for the cause of freedom, the
terrible war was at an end. The
'War whichwas to end war for all
'time was completed. The arch enemy
Germany was defeated.
Mothers, fathers, brothers and sis-
ters joined in the joy unsurpassed,
'then went home to quietly talk it over
'and await word from their loved ones
'who had so bravely fought. The
'hours of waiting would doubtless be
long but •the main anxiety was .over.
"Barring accidents their soldier sons
and daughters would soon be with
them.
During _the day parades were Mur-
iedly MadeMir; concert parties were
'organized, Thanksgiving services were
field Tired almost to the state of
exhaustion, people went home to their
n which -the
beds with a feeling joy Y
had not experienced for a day, month
•er 'year.
•
For many families it was not all
,joy. They visualized the marching of
the troops as they carne -home. They
bad seen their boys go away with the
•company, ;bat their place would now
be vacant. Other boys and men would
be there, but their dear ones were
lying in a grave many, many miles
The men and women had fought
and won. With their dying .breath
'they had thrown forth the challenge.
"To you- from • failing hands we
throw the torch
•
Be yours to.]fold it - .high.
If ye break faith with us who
die
We' shall not sleep, though poppies
blow •
in Flanders Fields.
Did we catch the torch which that
brave company in marching on to the.
'other world threw to 'us. Regretfully
and with shame we look back and
.•tnust admit that we did not.
As we recall the years between
`that joyous day November 11, 1918,
and that awful day on September 1st
1939 when Germany started World
"War II by entering Poland and that
equally anxious day September 3rd,
1939 when; England and France de-
clared war on Germany we wonder
what we were about that we did not
see what was before us. Month by
month the enemy kept gaining ground
and we were as if asleep with those
who slept in Flanders Fields. At any
rate we might just as well have been
so far all the preparations we were
making.
Then came the much talked about
peace terms. We look with admiration
on the brave effort of Honorable Ne-
ville Chamberlain, whom we believe
did his best to halt the war, which at
that time everyone knew was fast ap-
proaching.
There were things done at that
time and in the weeks which followed
which many claim were no credit to
Great Britain, but itis' always much
easier to criticize than it is to work
out a plan we believe that everything
was then done to delay the war as
Great Britain was in no condition to
fight. It has before been spoken of
that had Germany at that particular
moment invaded Britain we, and in all
.,probability the greater part of the
world, would now have been ander
the rale of Germany.
We can believe nothing else but
that Gad staid the hands of the Ger-
man rulers. It will be interesting
when world war II is over first to
know why the Fuerher did not go on
with his plan of invasion, They d!
not believe in God therefore, wha

Shortage of Fruit Trees
(Experimental Farms', News)
Lack of trained labour and scarcity
of root stocks is making it difficult
for nurserymen to propagate ade-
quate supplies of fruit trees. Accord-
ingly, wise orchardists will lose no
time in placing orders for trees re- --
quired for planting in the spring of
/1944. In fact it will be to the ad-
vantage
dvantage of all concerned if orders
1 can be placed now for trees to be
I delivered in 1945 and 1246. This will
ensure prop$gation of the varieties
which are desired, state A. J. Mann,

SONNET TO ,OCTOBER
Ali! gentle thief of summer, clothed
in red,
How you attempt •all Nature to de-
ceive!
With the sun's smile you enter—when
you leave
All summer's cherished beauty here
lies dead.
In your sly prime you fashioned your
proud head
With June's neglected rose. Unmas,
ked, you grieve.
July and August as their robes you
weave
In hues of your own blending for your
deathbed.
You rob the autumn with lascivious
pride,
You claim her richness, then her
wealth you hide.
Yet—though you make the summer
look forlorn,
You haunt me with the beauty you
ordorn!
The shortage of nursery stock
makes it more important than ever
to take care of young trees which
have already been planted. They
should be given good cultural treat-
ment and protected from injury by
mice, rabbits, gophers and deer. In
case a few trees become girdled dur-
ing the winter in spite of precaut-
ionary measures it is a good plan to
lay in a supply of scion wood suitable
for use in bridge grafting in the
spring. Well matured shoots of one
year old wood about two feet in
length are desirable for this purpose.
they keep dormant a long time when
placed in damp peat or sawdust in 32
degrees F. -storage. If cold storage
is not available the next best thing is
to bury them on the north side of
building.
In these days of keen demand and
good prices for fruit, old trees merit
special care. Prune, spray and care
for mature trees in a manner which
will ensure maximum production..

VIEWFINDER TECHNIQUE
Letter from overseas? That's right—and a well composed picture too,
because the cameraman used his viewfinder intelligently when he made It.
PROPER use of the viewfinder is
one of the most important phases
of good camera technique—and one
Of the most neglected.
The purpose of the viewfinder is
to give you a view of your plc-
tare'before you take It. By studying
the viewfinder image, you may deter -
Mine how your subject will appear iu
the lifetime, how mach background
will be included, and how well your
picture is composed: The finder
image is also helpful in leveling the
camera, andin determining the cor-
rect 'camera distance four' a; subfect
of a certain size.
Many camera owners, however,
tend to ase the Viewfinder in the
same Wenner- des they would a rifle

great a "taking distance."
Those two faults—seeing only the
}Hain' subject, and taking pictures
at inappropriate distances—must be
corrected if yarn are to take really
fine pictures. And they can be cor-
rected easily if you make a practice
of studying the viewfinder image
right out to the edges.
Here aro some general principles
to remember. Always keep your view-
finder as clean and shiny as your
camera lens so you get brilliant re-
flected images -don't' leave; a broad
extra margin around your subject—,
try to compose your picture care-
ful!y within the frame provided• by
the viewfinder.
If you study your viewfinder from
top to bottom and corner to corner
before you shoot—you'll hind it's O.
