• A PACK OF CARDS,
• PRAYER BOOK
AND BIBLE
• A private soldier named Richard Lee
Was taken before a• megistrate for
playing cards, during service.
•at appears a sergeant commanded the
army to church,
...And when the paison had .said the
• prayer—he took the text.
• Those who had a Bible took it out.
-Bat this soldier had neither Bible nor
common prayer book
.But, pulling out a pack of cards, he
spread them before him.
The soldier, looked at one card and
then at another;
The sergeant of the company saw
him mid .said:
' "Richard, put up the cards. This is
no place for them"
• "Never mind that," said Richard.
•'When the service was over the con-
stable took Richard before the
Mayor.
"Well," says the Mayor, "what have
you brought this eoldier here
for?"
• "For playing cards in church."
"Well, soldier, what have you to say
for yourself ?"
"Much, sir, I hope."
"Very goo& If not, I will punish you
more than was ever punished."
"I have been," said, the -soldier,
"about six weeks on the march;
I have neither Bible nor common
prayer book;
. I have nothing but a pack of cards,
And I'll satisfy your worship of the
purity of my intentions."
And, spreading the cards before the
Mayor, he began with the ace.
"When I see the ace it reminds me
of but one God;
When I fee the trey it reminds me
of Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
eaWhen I see the four -spot it reminds
me of four evangelists,
. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John;
When I see the five it reminds me
of the five wise virgins that
trimmed their lamps,
There were 10, but five were wise
and. five were foolish and cast
out;
The six retninds me that in six days
God made heaven and earth;
Then the seven -spot, that He rested
from the great work He had
created and hallowed it.
The eight reminds me of the eight
religious persons
That were saved when God destroyed
the world,
Who were Noah and his wife, with
three sons and their wives.
When I see the nine it reminds me
of the nine lepers
That *ere cleansed by our Saviour,
there were nine out of 10 that
never gave thanks.
When I see the 10 it is like the Ten
Commandments
Which were handed down to Moses
on the tablet of stone.
When I see the King I am reminded
of the King of Heaven
Which is God Almighty Himself.
...911•RIMP1•1•11•1•11111M1111111•011M
When I see the Queen I am reminded
of the Queen of Sheba,
For she was as wise a woanan as
Soloman a man.
She brought with her 50 girls and
50 boys, all in boys' apparel.
For the king to tell which were boys
and which were girls.
King Soloman sent for water for
• them to wash.
The girls washed to their elbows and
the boys to their wrists, so be
• told by that."
"Well,' •said the Mayor, "you have
• given a good description of all
• the cards except one."
"What is that?"
"The knave," said the Mayor.
"I will give Your Honor a description
of that, too, if you will not get
mad."
"I will not, if you do not term true
the knave."
"Well," said the soldier, "the greatest
knave I know
Is the man that brought me here.
I do not know that he is the greatest
knave,
•
But I do know that he is the great.

When 1 count how many spots in a
pack of cards I find 365,
As many days as im a year;
On counting the number of cards in
a pack I find 52,
The number of weeks in a year,
And in, the four suits the number of
weeks in a month.
find there are 12 picture cards,
representing the number of
months in a year,
And on counting the number of tricks
I find 13, the number of weeks
in a quarter.
So,' you see, sir, a pack of cards
serves for a Bible, almanac,•and
common prayer book,"
THE PLEA
Observed in a little country store
in Michigan:
"You need your money
I need. mine,
If we both get ours
It will sure be fine,
But if you get yours,
And hold aline too—
What in this world am 1 to do?"
A MAN'S IDEAL
To live as gently as I can;
To be, no matter where, a man;
To take what comes of good or ill
And. cling to faith and honor still;
To do my best and let that stand,
The record of my brain and hand;
And then should failure come to me,
Still work and hope for victory.
To have no secret place wherein
I stoop unseen to shame and sin;
To be the same when I'm alone,
As when iny every deed is known,
To live undaunted, unafraid
Of any step that I have made;
To be without pretense or sham:
Exactly what men think I are.

Mrs. R. I. Lunn of Oxford, N.S.

feel, when making jams or jellies with Certo,
that 1 am sure of good results. The shorter
boiling keeps the fresh fruit flavour and col-

Prize for the most points in this class at our

QUICK AND EASY—With Certo you
need boil only a minute to two min-
utes for jam—a half -minute to a
minute for jelly,
ECONOMICAL—Very little juice can boil
away in such a short boil, so you get up
to half again as much jam or jelly.
FRESH TASTE AND COLOUR—Because
of the short boil all the fresh, natural
fruit taste and colour is retained.

A SHOWER
PARTY
Refreshments Should Harmonize
• With Color Scheme
By: Katharine Baker
• There is no occasion which bnlongs
so much to women as a shower party.
It is as thoroughly feminine as the
batchelor dinner is masculine and
serves the sante purpose. It gives
the bride's friends a chance to chat
with her, learn her plans, wish hee
well and present tangible evidence af
their affection for her.
Gifts are wrapped in white or
pastel shades of paper and tied with
dainty ribbons. Table decorations,
=idles, etc. are usually blue, pink,
pale green or mauve shades. Snarl
sandwiches with egg Or cream cheese
filling or thin squares of bread rolled
around asparagus tips or watercress
are ideal. Petits Fours in a variety
of pastel frostings are as pretty as
can be for this occasion, or one large
cake with a pale pink or orange
frosting. Coconut, delicately tinted
with vegetable coloring is lovely to
decorate a plain white frosted cake,
or this luscious chocolate cake with
a pink peppermint frosting.

We do not like the weather; we
are not satisfied with the crops; we
do not think the Lord is giving us a
fair chance in life; we believe God
has allowed too much illness to come
our way; we have not as much ma-
terial means as our neighbor; we are
not happy about this and we are dis-
contented aboutthat. The shepherd
of Salisbury Plain when asked what
the weather would be on the morrow,
replied that it would be just what he
preferred because it would be what
pleased God and -whatever pleased,
God pleased him. If we put our love

LEMONS FOR HEALTH
Lemons have rightfully earned
•their fame as a health -giving food.
Their use in the healing arts dates
back to the way beginning af medi-
cine. In Mina, more than a thousand
years ago, they were designated as
the "long life fruit.' In western
countries they were credited with
having conquered scurvy. Today they
are the centre of interest in world-
wide studies dealing with inereaging
the immunity to many diseases. N'o
other single fruit has had such wide
application to health preservation
and restoration as the lemon.

OFFERS HOME FOR
REFUGED CHILDREN
Dr. Alexander Moir generously of-
fered his hospital near leens•all to
Huron County Council for one year,
for use as a shelter for refugee child-
ren, free of rent, also his medical
services gratis for the same length
of time. The offer was left in the
hands a the Children's Shelter Com.-
mittee.
Dr. Moir stated that he would be
glad to work on a committee in
choosing the personnel of the hos-
pital, and the choice of childern, plac-
ed there. He suggested the Child-
ren's Welfare Department would be
the logical one.
The institution, he said, could care
for from twenty to twenty-five child-
ren. The hospital is licensed and
approved to take care of :fifteen pa-
tients. It is modern and free from
encumbrances, and insured for $9,-
000. It has a modern operating room
and sunroom. He had never asked
for a county grant as the hospital
had been web endowed by friends.
He suggested that four paid
helpers would be necessary, namely
a good housekeeper, a trained nurse,
a cook and a man of all work. Help-
ers for the children would be volun-
tary workers. The staff and children
can all be accommodated in the
building.
Many expressions ,af appreciation
were voiced to Dr. Moir by several
members. ai
ions that fact constitutes aru em-
ergency to be met with immediate
resolve. When, our Itramen of the
Canadian forces, naval, land ,and
air, are in the wax zone, at a time
when the Allies have received and
sustained hammer blows of
weight and ferocity unknown in
past ways, the duty of Canadians
at home stands clear. Now we
must accept grave duties and re-
sponsibilities and recognize that
the need is immediate and ins.
perative.
The Allied armies have perform,
ed great feats but they need ma-
terial, material and yet more ma-
terial. These requirements demand
that industry produce at utmost
capacity, that transport carry'
munitions, and supplies promptly,
swiftly and efficiently. This is the
task of the Canadian National
Railways, the task of every ine
dividual member of the System no
matter where he, or she, may be
employed.
We are all proud •of the loyalty,
the efficiency and the good spirit
of the men and women of the
National System, but all must now
excel themselves in their daily
tasks that by so doing they may
support the men -in the field. We
have been doing a good job; we
must da even better and I ask
every employee in every depart-
ment of the System to throw his
whole energy into his daily task.
The soldier in the field has scant
respite. Support him. Do your
job better that you have ever done
it before.
•
The work of civilians in the
factories, on the railways and in
'the ships, combined with the gal-
lantry of our soldiers, will yet
• bring victory, but our cooperation
must be instant, continuous and
complete. As the Prime Minister
of Canada has said, "This nation
with all the strength of its youth,
• the wealth of its resources, and the
idealism of its freedom, will proud-
ly accept its new responsibility."

USING THE SELF -TIMER
A self -timer enables you to get shots of yourself—such as this breakfast
table study—without having someone else snap the shutter. Such a
device is a great convenience in the camera kit.
HAT° you ever tried taking In-
' formal self -portraits—or per-
haps a story -telling sequence of
shots of yourself, busy at some
hobby or everyday activity about
the bouse? It's an entertaining cam-
era pastime—and with the aid of a
eeletimer, you can shoot such pic-
tures easily.
The seletimer is a smell "de-
layed•action" device which clips on
the cable release of a camera, and
trips the shutter after a brief time
interval. Some fine cameras even
have a self -timer built into the shut-
ter, You simply place the camera
on a firm support, press the release
catch of the selatimer—then step
into the picture, and pose as you
wish, until the shutter clicks.
With a couple of photo bulbs, a
self -timer attached to the cable re-
lease of your camera, and a short
"scenario" of a half-dozen or so pia:
tures to act out, you can have no
end of tun all by youreelf. For ex-
ample—taking the picture above as
a cue—you might show yourself at
a hurried breakfast, putting salt in
the coffee by mistake, burning the
toast, spilling milk on the news-
paper, and then discovering it's
Sunday and you don't have to work
atter all.
Or, if you're interested in char-
acter studies and make-up, selepor-
traits with a self -timer may be even
more fun. Set up the camera Just
below a mirror, in which you caa
check your expressions. Put on the
make-up—work out the most suit-
able lighting—then release the self -
timer and it does the rest while
you pose.
The great advantage of using a
self -timer, in photography such as
this, is that you can. take as much
time as you wish on details—and
not keep someone else standing by
just to trip the shutter for you.
If you make a hobby of building
ship models, or airplane models, or
similar construction work, the self -
timer is also useful. With it, you
can get snaps of yourself at various
stages of a job, and these will pro-
vide a welcome addition to your
hobby record. in family pictures,
the self -Muer is likewise a great
help. You need no longer be "just
the photographer." With the aid of
this little gadget, you can appeae
in any picture you take.
The self -timer, of course, can
only be used on a camera that has
a fitting for a cable release. If your
camera is so atted, you should by
all means have one of these devices
—and you'll find it one of the most
genetally useful items in your kit.
