B•y "PEG" Tastes vary,we know, but rarely One of the ;Postcomforting stories alone because He will hear the last do we fir 3 a.person who doesn't like cry of any penitent who asks Him to come into their lives. I Many souls have been saved late in Iife, in fact just as Death was closing in on them. It is a terrible thing to leave the most vital question in the Bible is that of the dying thief. We know that .when Christ was crucified a thief died on either side of Him, each paying the just Penalty for his sins. When the scof- fers railed on Jesus these men who werejust within a few hours of their death also scoffed. Matthew 27:44, tells as: "The thieves also which were Crncpfied with Him cast the same in His teeth." Mark in chapter fifteen, verse thirty-two, 'says: "they that were crucified with Him reviled Jim." The twenty-third chapter of ; Luke its describing the crucifixion, tells the wonderful story of the re- pentane° .of one of the thieves. Just ; take your Bibles and read the rebuke' of the one thief when he speaks to the other in .this manner, "Dost not' thou fear God, seeing thou art in the. same condemnation and we justly for we receive the due reward ` of our deeds, but this man hath done; nothing amiss." Then conies the plea of this *retched than to Jesus, "Lord remember rue when Thou cornest into I of our lives until then. Death may I. smite us without warning and' we niay have no chance to ask forgive- ' ness for:our sins. The thief, although he inust have suffered terribly, yet retained his mental faculties and wasable to call to Jesus and to present his plea: Comte to Him while we can while we realize what the future holds for us. There are many people who are sorry for their sins, but yet they never repent. Death comes to each, one of us once. It collects its claim and "as W finds us and leaves . us, so shall we be through all Eternity," Will it not be dreadful if we make our choice and have to spend Eternity without our Saviour. The man on either side of Christ had sinned; both were paying the price of their (ally; both heard the jeering crowd; each listened to the cry of Christ, "Father forgive thein for they know not what ,they do." As far as Christianity: was concerned they both had the' same opportunity. One accepted Christ, the ' other re- jected Him. Can we say that any one can be so sunk in sin that they cannot come back to Christ. It is true that no man or woman can come back in his or her own strength, but with Christ there is no sin so black but that Christ can lead a willing one away from it. Not only that, if He is given first place in their lives He will keep them always as IIis own. The plea "Lord, remember me, when Thou contest into thy Kingdom" will always bring the answer, "To -day, shalt thou be with the in Paradise," No mutter how deeply you may have fallen in sin do not be afraid to come back tc Him fry Ile will keep you safe. Many people have bad the joy of bringing sonteone to Him. What at happiness it must be to think that perhaps you have been the means of leading sone one to Him. Let us start out to -day to give His message to some one. We do not want to meet I•Iint at the judgment and have to say. "No- thing in my hands I bring." in room" and the never to be forgotten reply of Jesus in these wonderful words, "To -day shalt thou be with me in Paradise." The next verse tells of the sixth hour and the darkness until the ninth hour. Jesus did not say to him, "your request is out of the question altogether. Be-; fore you can enjoy Eternity,with me you must spend hours in doing good works.' We feel sure that from the rabble which was about that no Earthly person save Jesus and the two thieves, at the very most, heard the conversation. Had the other thief; been converted mention would have been made of it, so we are led to' believe that the converted dying thief went into Eternity atone, There NO MAN IS INDISPENSABLE I care not what your place may be A. job that's most laborious, With mighty little salary, • Or one that's fat and glorious. But, be • sure your Iabor, great or small, 01 this you must be sensible, Some other guy can do it all; No man is indispensable. Bombastic bully! From whom no out- rage shrinking, Through whose black heart no kindly current floes, With brain incapable of noble think- ing, Upon whose face affection never glows. Hitler•! Thou hast the virtues of the vultare: Gloating while men of valour 'die was no one with him to say "you brought the to Christ," Isn't it sad to tltinlc o' it, going alone, standing before Christ saved, it is true, but saved alone? Apparently he would not listen, while lie had the opportun-' ity, but when he faced the future and knew that he had nothing to hold ort. to Ire graspccl salvation, but' he had no enc to take with him.' Would we want to do that? We feel that the shame of it would be over- whelming. After all that Christ hail clone for; us, could we face him at the Judgment end say "Lord, I ant , here but I did not being anyone with' Inc." We must base conte to Jesus and have asked to be saved or we would! not have beta accepted by Him at all. ! • To such what a blessing it is that!

All we're sure of is today; ';Why there' thro'te the chaste° away_!' :. • NECESSARY WEIGHT A medium-sized automobile carries 108 pounds of gasoline, 10 pounds of oil, 29 pounds of water, five pounds of grease, two pounds of 'dilute acid, This is the time for each houses' holder in Canada to lay plans for his own annual private war, in which the battle cry is "Swat That Fly", the Health League of Canada advises. ! One reason for the success with which the !pestiferous insect resists attack upon him is Itis habit of tak- ing up the fight each year without warning and before he is expected. A good way to wreck his plans at this time is to spring clean the yard, end every other outlying portion of the hone, as vig;erously and thor- oughly as the housewife cleans the interior. Garbage cans might be given' a wash with strong disinfectant, With i advantage to the household involved, No rubbish or garbage sltoeld be al- lowed to collect, and 'where manure is used for preparing the gerdsn it shouid be dug tinder as soon as pox- ,ible. Don't forget that the female fly lays her eggs its rubbish and re- fuse; that the grubs hatch out in a few clays and shortly afterward bur- row into the earth to undergo their metamorphosis. Don't give them any c•neouragemeiit or help in doing so. Many people still look on the fly as only a mild nuisance, chiefly an- noying* by his habits of .burning and tickling, Those little this:es are no- thing! If one had miscroscopical eyes, capable of seeing the disease germs which. this enemy of mankind picks up, carries around and distri- butes during a single day, he would' take a 'different view of the°enemy. It may be permitted to Mention only one of Eh fly's obnoxious mail- ne .a: When yon see him trampling around in the sugar bowl, he is not lust nibbling the grains of sugar. He can't nibble; so he regudgitates a drop -of fluid from his tummy to melt the sugar, then; he can such it up. Not -nice, is it? • The sooner you put up fly screens an.d'get ready with the swatter, the better will be your chances of having a Koine free ,from flies. "PEG" AN UNRECOGNIZED GREATHEART Henri Durant, hounder of the Red Cross It is an extraordinary fact that, though the whole world ]snows of the beneficent work of the International Red Cross, not one individual in ten. thousand knows the name of its founder. His story is a strange tale,' far though Hetrri Dunant wrought a great work in compelling the nations 1 to establish the Red Cross'11e was far from achieving greatness himself, He was a citizen of Geneva, born is 1828 into a home of characteristic! Genevan piety.

The fresh variety is on the market now at a moderate price—why. not include it in your menus soon? To select choose a firth golden fruit free from specks. If it is ripe enough to use, a slight pull at one of the top leaves will remove it easily. A pineapple weighing 2 pounds will produce about 21/2 cups fruit. To prepare cut off sharp, ends of the leaves with a scissors. Hold the pineapple firmly by these leaves; with a sharp' knife begin at the bot- tom end and pare around. Pare off the skin then remove any dark spots. Slice lengthwise rejecting the bard core or shred by sticking a fork into the top of the peeled pineapple—hold with the 'left hand, and with another fork in the right hand tear pulp into large or small pieces. Serve as it is or sprinkle with sugar a half-hour before serving, If you like pineapple combined with other foods, you are sure to enjoy the following dishes: Pineapple Cocktail 1 cup orange juice 1-3 cup lemon juice Sugar 1 cup strawberries 1 cup diced pineapple.

POSTAGE S'i'AMI' CENTENNIAL 1Vlonday, May 6th, 1940, marked the one hundredth anniversary of the postage stamp. Four months prior to that date, January 10th, 1840, the great boon of penny postage was in- troduced as a result of Rowland Hill's efforts the use of the adhesive stamp was a natural development in postal reform, Britain's first postage stamps were flue famous Penny B1 1- anti the Two Penny Blue: These stamps, which were -adhesive but were not perforat- ed, displayed a beautiful likeness of the young Queen Victoria, Following the advent of the post- age stamp the postal service has steadily grown until it is now a main artei y of business and social life reaching ter the far corners of the earth. Canada's first postage stamp, the Three -Penny Beaver, was issued in 1857. ' TELEVISION AREA There are now nearly 2,000 tele- vision sets in homes in the New York area. DON'T HURRY There are times when most of us find ourselves 'hurrying up, to get something done, Usually this phy- sical hurrying, up is accompanied by a mental one which tires us more than the one that is physical, It might be well for those of us who are constant hurryers to stop. and try to slow clown a bit, It might surprise us greatly to find we can accomplish More if we de not hurry, A famous doctor once told his class of medical students: this: "If a man severs the jugular vein in his neck, he will bleed to death in three min- utes. You can tie that vein in two minutes—if you do not hurry," At this time of year with house- cleaning and gardening there is ,so much to do that every homeiotker has a heavy schedule for each day, but the most important thing in all this spring and early summer work is not to let oneself become too tired, Many women would profit by re- membering the saying made by a well known figure in Home Economics wdrk its the State of New York,` who said: "I have so mach to do that I don't know what to do first, so, I think I will take my nap first and get that off my mind." No one has any sympathy for a worn, tired, irritable woman. If any woman finds herself on the verge of beeoming like this site had better take herself in hand. She should be- come a better planner and manager, to find some time to rest and relax and to stop hurrying. A famous beauty writer once said: "No face in a hurry can be beautiful," This is important to remember. ALWAYS AN ENGLAND There will always be an England. While the waves of ocean roll, For no weapon ever can be forged, To conquer Engiand's soul, The glorious flame of Liberty, That beacons England's dales, By tyranny can no'er be quenched, While God in Ileavett prevails. When from the azure ocean, First arose proud Britain's strand. A charter was presented By an angel guarciiatt's hand. And down throughout the ages, She has kept that charter brave, Attuned to martial music, "Rule Britannia! mile the wave!" !!Trott Queen warrior, Boadicea, Bleeding from the Roman rods, Called her Druid priests around her, Seeking counsel of their gods. "Britain's enemies shalt perish" Saida hoary Druid priest. With a voice vibrate with anger, And a heart o'ercharged with grief. There will always be an England, It is written in the stars, As a warning to those nations, Who invoke the god of Mars. tete w 1 always be an England, While the waves of ocean roll. For no weapon ever can be forged, To conquer England's soul, HOW THE RED CROSS DOLLAR IS SPENT Out of every dollar subscribed to tate Canadian Red Cress Society, 80 cents is being used for actual war work, it is revealed in a chart show- ing tate approximate disposition of the $5,000,000 received a as result of the Society's last campaign for funds. Peace -tithe sorvises Of the Society, which do not slacken at all during the war period, claim 14.3 cents of the dollar, while administration ex- penses for the •whole of Canada and overseas take only 3.5 cents, The re - malodor, two cents, provides for cam- paign and publicity. "Cru' administration and campaign expenses rate that exceedingly low figure because so much work is done voluntarily," L. A. Winter, Comptrol- ler, pointed out. Of the 80 cents used for war pur- poses, 44 cents is spent by the Nat- ional Council and 36 cents covers sup- plies and comforts furnished through tate work of branches. In actual figures, -the National Council is responsible for the expen- diture of 22,200,000; branches, $1,- 800,000; peace -time services, $725,- 000; campaign and publicity, $100,- 000; administration expenses, war & peace -time, ,$175,000. 411 he best v �'y� t et m Y; N 'tarGl �t Vs'�Y"'1 Yt ! ? i, I 1 e i e s Mother's first thought is "call tate doctor", and the quickest way to locate him is by tele- phone, Tho telephone is an instrument of prate& tion in every hone.
