They had hunted the south of England, at Lands End. As they walked along the shore a terrible storm broke over the dis- trict. They hurriedly sought shelter and finally came to a cave in a roelc, with an .overhanging roof. While there the storm reached tremendous proportions and they saw a bird struggling through it. Almost coni- 'pletely exhausted the little thing fin- -ally flew into the cave and sought shelter in the coat of Charles Wes- ley. here the little panting soul was gently patted by its savor who tend- erly held it there until such time as it recovered its breath and became furthermore.

Has He ever failed us? When Jesus Christ gave His final command to go out into the world and preach the -gos- pel to every creature. Be also gave the promise "Lel I ant with you al- ways". That promise applies to each of us. He has never left us alone and That was the origin of that soul stirring hymn which was written at that time.

It - can give ease to our pain, and relief to our distress and a Christian doctor or nurse can give comfort to our trouiled minds but they must let go when God de- finitely calls us to go Higher, We as representatives of Christ can ,.go to those "who need our . help. As we read those lines our minds travel on to our mission fields, which unfortunately at this time a,e so fearfully undermanned. We, who. are at home, must be preparing for the time when the war will be over and the way will again be opened to send the missionaries back to their work. Even before the war our churches were having to recall their missionaries because there was not money to keep the workers on the field. The war• has shown that there is plenty of money in our country. Had we used it to help the Mission cause there would have been no need to be establishing the different Vict- ory Loans. Will we never learn that we must give Christ first place in our lives, in our homes, in our Do- minion, and in our Empire? There is a great deal of talk at the present time about the second corning of Christ. We are certain that He will come, but when will remain an un- certainty until such time as Ile ap. pears, but we do know that when He comes He will call those of all nations we do not need to worry about when He will come but our concern should be as to whether we are prepared to meet Hing or not. It will be our own fault if we are not: "Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my Sin." Is there grace to cover all our sins? We think :maybe that Christ will forgive some of our minor sins but surely Hewillnot forgive all our sins. We' are assured in Hie Word that all our Sins will be put behind Him and that if we ask Hint we will go into His Presence Sinless. That is the only condition on which we can meet Hint in the future. We must have come to Hint and asked. Hint to forgive es our sins. We can conte to Him time and 'again "until see - 1 enty. tines seven" and each time He will forgive us but we must cone to Mini end confess our sins. Thou of life the fountain art. Freely let me take of Thee, Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity," Christ is the fountain of life and that fountain continually flows. As we go to a spring for good clear, pure water, so clay by day we can come to Christ and He will fill our Mule with whatever we need to keep us close to Him, There is no time in our life when He will ever fail es. What a. joy that is to us and also to know that His promises are free to each one of us just for the asking. r, "When we have exhausted our 1 store of endurance When faith seems to fail ere the day is half clone When we conic to the end of our hoarded resources, Our Father's full giving is only 11 begun." THE MIXING BOWL • ' $y ANNE ALLAN Hydro Homo Economist' SAVOURY STOCK POTS Hello Homemakers!' Thrifty grand- mothers whose wonderful soups we've heard so much about, had an ever - burning kitchen fire to work with. They could keep their stock pots ea top of the stove because the constant heat was too high for' the growth of dangerous bacteria. Now, it is necessary to conserve every kind of, fuel, but we need not worry about the soup pot—use low heat to draw out the flavour without boiling' the liquors away, and then place it in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage and taste. Meat flavour is the soul of a stook pot, so begin by collecting left- over bones from roasts, steaks, chops or poultry. (Buy a raw soup bone occasionally, but always have the butcher crack it up for you.) Cover the bones with cold water, add drip- pings from roasts, steaks, sliced raw onion, raw carrots, celery and celery tops, parsley, a ;bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover; bring to boiling point simmer 1 to 114 hours. Strain; cool. L kin off fat that rises to top and use it for other cooking.. Pour stock into a fruit jar, seal and store in the refrigerator.

Wedding Parties Time was when the glory of the. bride was threatened with eclipse by the glamour of her bridesmaids, but give her the edge OR everyone else in the wedding party by granting her certain exclusive fashion privileges, Under the clothing regulations of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board the brideis the only one permitted to wear a long dress unless the brides have purchased their gowns before re- strictions were effected. While the bride's dress may be 54 inches in length, for size 16 the bridesmaids are limited to 43 inches if their dresses are new. In order to enjoy the dress privilege the bride's gown must be white or cream colored. TAKE A TIP Farm Machinery According to Wartime Prices and Trade Board officials there is some misunderstanding regarding equip- ment recently removed from the list of rationed farm machinery. Types of pumps removed are the cause of some confusion. The order states that metal well pumps," hand or windmill operated or operated in conjunction with pump jack; barrel cistern or pit- cher pumps" This means that all oth- er metal pumps, including motor dri- ven types both deep and shallow, well and pressures systems are still on the rationed list, basic period of 1941, according' to an order issued by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, effective this month. Minimum weights are set down in the new order which requires! that these weights be clearly, shown on the label. Fresh Vegetable Supplies Present indications are that Canada will be able to secure its normal share of winter and early spring fruits and vegetables from the United States and other foreign countries, accord- ing to advice received by the West- ern Ontario region of the Wartime Prices and Tracie Board. Wth the an- nouncement came news of a program being planned to assure Canadian con- sumers a reasonable supply of staple fresh fruits and vegetables, domestic and imported, throughout the conning whiter and spring months. Diatribe - Igen of canned vegetables Pram stocks frozen in warehouses for several months was commenced in the second week of November for cuntrolled distribution to consumers. 1. Meat broth is the perfect ntediunt for the growth of bacteria, 'and once. bacteria starts, spoilage can quickly result. 2.

E. Pearls -administrator of fertilizers and pesticides, of a new order on fertil- izer. The increased tonnage will pro bably result in an increased acreage of tobacco .ih Western Ontario. The order extends the limitation of fertile. iter sales to all sections of Ontario. Formerly it applied only to the Nor- folk tobacco zone. ' Previously each grower had been limited to the pur- chase of 80 per cent of the fertiliz- er used in 1942 but the new regnla- tions'restricts the quantity of potash contained in fertilizer in the 12 months period ending June 30, 1943. As the administrator has varied the formulas to reduce potash content the order will permit a somewhat increas- ed available tonnage and therefore an increased acreage without reduc- ing the supply of potash for other crops, Such fertilizer may be used by a tobacco grower only for the pro. duction of his own flue -cured tobac. co crop. Former regulations which re- quired manufacturers and dealers in the Norfolk Tobacco zone to con- fine their sales of tobacco fertilizer to growers to whom they sold in the preceding year have also been ex- tended to all parts of Ontario, Inflation Danger Inflation was greater two years af- ter the close of the last war than dur- ing hostilities and no law has been passed preventing history from re- peating itself W. Harold McPhilIips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontario, said here pointing out the possibilities of inflation fol- lowing this war's conclusion. Com- menting 011 the report from some sec- tions that complacency is replacing vigilance in price control matters, Mr. McPhillips said that the peak of •pric- es in World War l's inflation period was reached in 1920, two years after the Armistice. A little more than 160 points when the war ended the cost of living index skyrocketed to 200 points in the middle of 1920. Clothing went to 250 points and food to 2255 from 180 in the same period. Fuel rose approximately 55 points and rent 45 points. "The end of hostilities does not necessarily mean the end of the threat of inflation," Mr. McPhillips stressed, "Nor should good war news cause complacency." Instead vigilance must be continued until the last mo- ment of the war and beyond the mak- ing of the peace V Tobacco Fertilizer THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. L. B. asks: Why do scalloped potatoes Curdle?

To make mirror pictures like this focus carefully, have your subject stand close to the mirror, and use a small lens opening, TN DAYS gone by the work of J magicians was often scornfully dismissed with the comment that "It's all done with mirrors." And maybe that was the case sometimes. But today it's the photographer rather than the magician who makes good use of mirrors, and some of our most intriguing pictur'ee owe their existence to that fact. There are two popular ways of taking mirror pictures. Row is it done? Well, it is really very easy, but there's one thing you must watch and that's proper focusing. Solve that problem, and you'll find that making such pictures is no different from any other type of indoor pic- ture making. IViiss it, and the whole point of your picture will be Iost. The thing to remember is that optically the image you see in the mirror isn't on the surface of the glass at 'all. Rather, it's just a re Stectinn of what is beyond the mir- ror, and you'll find' that the correct focusing distance—if you want to get the image sharp and clear—is the total of the distance from the camera lens to the mirror, plus the distance from the mirror back to the subject. That's one way. If it is desired to include the sub- ject itself in the picture as well as the reflected image, and have both sharp, the focus should be set for the distance from the mirror to the lens. The smaller the lens opening the greater the depth of field and the sharper will be both images. Naturally, the nearer the subject is to the mirror the less is required in the matter of "depth." In the picture above, the subjects were about two feet from the mir- ror and the camera was six feet from the mirror. •Ae both subject and reflected image were to be`In- cluded in the picture the focus was set at six feet. Aperture was set at 1/16. You'll find that by following regu- lar indoor pieture.making technique it's no trouble at all to get pictures which are truly interesting and un-- usual. n=usual.
