FROM TENNYSON'S ODE
Thank Him who isled us here, and
roughly set
Iris Briton in blown seas and storm-
ing showers.
We have a voice, with which to pay
the debt
Of boundless love and reverence and
regret
To these great men who fought and
kept it ours.
And keep it ours, 0 God, from brute
control;
O Statesmen, guard us, guard the
eye, the soul
Of Europe, keep our noble England
whole,
And save the one true seed of free-
dom sown
Betwixt a people and their ancient
throne.
ALONE
Alone, the sea-girt Island calmly
stands,
The flickering torch of Freedom in
her hands,
Willing to sacrifice, to do, or die,
Strang-souled, alert, her sword girt
on her thigh.
Alone, the champion of a war torn
world,
That force and greed to the abyss
have hurled
Ready to face and fight the fiendish
foe,
That laid the might of other nations
low.
Alone, sublime and splendid in her
might,
To raise the fallen and defend the
right
With her dominions far across the
sea,
Battling for life and love and liberty.
Ahem, not all the cruel hosts of hell
Cath the undying soul of Freedom
quell,
It sinks to ashes but to rise again,
Refined and glorified from out its
, pain.
Alone, yet not alone, through cloud -
rent skies,
The Great Shekinah Glory shall arise,
And truth and righteousness go hand
in hand,
God will not fail that little sea-girt
land.
--it Isabel Graham.
WIFE OF A SOLDIER
The world is no less beautiful be-
cause
We separately keep returning
spring,
And sense the vibrant meaning of
a pause
Preceding the allegro orioles fling;
The burgeoning of blossoms is as
sweet
Along the Maginot, as in my lane,
And yet, the wealth of June seems
incomplete,
Bringing to each a heritage of
pain.
Because our lives were welded with-
out sound,
Apart from you there is no final
joy,
Although we bear a peace, which
spirit bound,
No loneliness of body can destroy.
And as I move upon the stirring
sod,
Somehow my heart is reassured
of God.
—Clara Bernhardt.
THE END IS HIS
To set the Cause beyond renown,
To love the game beyond the prize;
To honor, while you strike him down,
The foe that comes with fearless
eyes.
To count the life of battle good,
And dear the land that gave you
birth,
And dearer yet, the brotherhood
That binds the brave of all the
earth,
My son, the oath is yours, the end
Is His, who built the world o2
strife,
Who gave his children Pain for
friend,
And death the surest hope of life.
Today, and here, the fight's begun,
Of the great fellowship you're
free;
Henceforth the School and you are
one,
And what you are the race shah
be,
0 strength divine of Roman days,
O spirit of the age of faith—
Go with our sons on all their ways,
When we long since are dust and
wraith,

"PEG",
"It was alone the Saviour 'preyed,
In dark Gethsemane;
Alone He drained the bitter cup
And suffered there for me."
Alone—All-one. How truly t
second word describes the first; All -
em. No one else included.. This
certainly gives one a terrible feeling
of aloneness. T•Ias the meaning of
the word alone ever been fathomed.
Have we ever got to the source of It?
No one but Jesus Christ has ewer
realized what it has meant to be ab-
solutely -alone,
To the anajority the time to Ieare
home and go out into the busiaess
world has come, Our trunk has been
packed. In many cases mother has
put a Bible in it for us. We have
waved good-bye, sometimes with a
feeling of exultation but at others
with a sinking heart: But oh, the
lonliness when we realized that there
was no one near us whom we loved.
We were alone. This sort of thing
gradually wears off, for we could not
stand it physically or mentally for
very long. The scenes are new to us
and for a time district our attention,
but gradually that awful feeling of
lonliness creeps back. It is some-.
thing similar to the feeling one has
in the morning when one wakens.
knowing that what we call a calam-
ity is hanging over us.
To the sense of all --oneness may
be attributed this feeling. We become
self-centred and allow our thoughts
to dwell within -ourselves instead pf
seeking out a church where we can
meet with God's people and work
from there. We are never alone if
we have taken others into our lives.
We were never meant to be alone.
No matter what we look at there is
a dependence upon something else.
Just one instance our flowers are de-
pendent upon the soil, the soil upon
rain and sunshine, and rain and sun-
shine upon God. Science is bringing
out many new things, but everything
in the world can be traced back to
God.
?cope do not want to be alone and
have that dreadful feeling of home-
sickness, nor do others care to be
in the company of those who cannot
rise above it. We must consider that
we are only one among thousands.
Looking at Bible history, there too
we find many instances of those who
were alone. Paul was alone in prison
many times when he fought through
agony. John was alone when he was
banished to Patntos, and above all,
Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the
world was alone many times in His
Earthly ministry. At twelve years of
age He was alone when He via
talking to the doctors. He was alon
when he was tempted to the Devil
but He withstood His temptation
Between then and the time He was
crucified for you and me He had many
weary tithes alone. In the garden
of Gethsamine, Peter, James and
John went with Him, but they fell
asl: e ,while Jesus went alone to
pray in His agony of surrender and
what an agony that must have been!
Ile stood alone in Pilate's judgement
hall. All those with whom He had
worked had left Him. John had,
through influence, got into the ball,
and did his best to be near Him, but
was in some way stopped, Then He
was alone on the cross. Oh, •so much
alone when lie cried "My God, My
God, why hast Thou forsaken Me."
There was no one to help Him but
God, and even God for the time be-
ing had forsaken Him, God tested
Jesus to the very limit. How thank-
ful we are that He stood up under
that testing that He might make an
Eternal Home for us.
In the present war we read of the
tremendous armaments of the foe.
They would certainly be very force-
ful if we were not on God's side
but with God working with us no
power can crush His ruling, At any
moment God can and will summon,
re-infercements. Let us never lose
sight of the 'fact that God is in the
cloud which seems to be hanging so
heavily before us. God does not
overcome our obstacles before we
really need Him, but when we do and
we are on the side of right He will
be there to help us. We think God
is delaying. At the appointed time
He will act. What a wonderful re-
velation it will be just to see how He
will straighten things out!
We wonder why God permits these
things but the world is now begin-
ning to realize that the people them-
selves are responsible for it.
Leave to -morrow with God's care.
He looked after yesterday and today
and will look after to -morrow and
all days till He come! again. Some
claim it will be soon. Whether that
is so or not makes no difference to
en if we are ready to meet Him.
"Fret not thyself". Begin and end
the day with prayer. Go away by
yourself, talk to Him alone with His
word in front of you. Then go out
to face the work of the day deter-
mined that the world will see God
in each one of us.
"It was alone the Saviour stood
In Pilate's judgment hall;
Alone the crown of thorns He wore
Forsaken there by all.
Alone upon the cross He hung
That others He might save;
Forsaken then by God and man
Alone His life He gave.
Can you reject such matchless
love?
Can you His claim disown?
Come give your all in gratitude,
Nor leave Him thus alone."

DEFECTS OF SPEECH
Parents of children with speech
defects should realize that speech is
not an isolated factor in a person's
means of expression, writes Ruth
Lewis, speech authority, in the cur-
rent issue of "Health", organ of the
Health League of Canada. "Speech",
she writes "is an expression of the
self and a means of making that
self contact other human beings;
therefore the whole life of the child
must be considered in relation to his
speech,"
s Parrot -like drills are not enough to
correct an impediment of speech,
Mies Lewis writes. "A child cannot
• respond to speech training if he is
emotionally maladjusted in his rela-
tions to bis home or school environ-
ment," She suggests that trained
psychologists examine the whole per-
sonality of the child, and a program
of activity adopted that will change
the emotional life of the child,
While most speech defeets are due.
to met al maladjustments, there are
speech defects due to physical mal-
formations, writes Miss Lewis. In
such cases the speech therapist must
rely on the doctor's and dentist's as-
sistance, "But the repair of the
physical abnormality is not sufficient
to cure the speech disorder; it merely
prepares the ground,' she says.
Speech drills and exereises have
an important place in all cases of
defective articulation, Miss Lewis
holds. "Only with a full knowledge
of phonetics and the analysis of
sounds can adequate work be done in
establishing new sounds and correct-
ing rein -pronounced ones," she writes,
"The need for the child to discrimin-
ate one sound from another is al-
ways kept in the foreground.
So often during the last few days
we have heard the expression of we
might say the fact, "England is
alone, fighting with her back to the
wall." In his Christmas broadcast
of 1039, our beloved King George VI
said: "I said to a man who stood
at the gate of the year, 'give me a
light that I may tread safely into
the unknown+, and he replied, `go out
into the darkness and put you hand
into the hand of God. That shall be
to you better than light and safer
than the known way'." This we know
our King and Queen have done. We
know England is not alone. Although
being chastened, not only more sev-
erely than she deserves, yet the. God
who performed the mircle at Dunki'ak
is with' her, will remain with her,
and will ultimatelylead her, on to
victory.
In olden Biblical times the odds
were against Asia. There were a mil-
lion men and 800 chariots against
his very small army, but yet with
God he was victorious. The Ethiopians
were destroyed before the host of
the Lard, the large host was put to
:rout and Israel had only to follow
up and pick up the spoil,

A LETTER FROM A FRIEND
A double -knock, a 'rustle, then a
gentle little pat,
And I know the mail, the postman's
brought, has tumbled on the mat.
I pick it up and quickly alit the flap
from end to end
For I recognize the writing—it's it
letter from a friend.
And as I read, the fact, that we are
many miles apart
Soon fades,, and we are talkirsg to
each other, heart to heart.
We laugh at incidents recalled, the
years roll back again;
Sad thoughts are quite forgotten,
only happy ones remain.
Reluctanty I reach the end — the
letter`s put away,
But the warmth, and joy it brought
me will linger through the day.
If people understood this more they'd
be inclined to send
A blessing that is rare and meet—
s letter to a friend.

Lawns Need
Fertilizer
(Experimental Farms News)
Probably the most common cause
of poor lawns is low soil fertility.
Since the grass is continually grow-
ing and producing new leaves, the
greatest demand is for nitrogen, the
element which is chiefly „concerned
with the stimulation of vegetative
growth. The other two important
soil elements, phosphorus and potas-
sium, must not be neglected in the
fertilizer programme however.
It is recommended, states J. H.
Boyce, Division of Forage Plants,
Dominion Experimental Farms Ser-
vice, that lawns receive two applica-
tions of a complete fertilizer each
year, one in the early spring and
one in the early fall. The spring
treatment should be given just before)
active growth begins and the fall
application should be made around
September 1st, On soils of moderate.
to good fertility, the application of
fertilizers containing 8-12 per cent
of nitrogen, 5-8 per cent phosphoric
acid and 2-6 per cent of potash at
the rate of 8 to 10 ib. per 1,000 sq -
feet per application is recommended.
Fertilizers of such analyses as 10-6-4,
12-6-4, 12-6-4, 10-8-6,and 10-5-2 are
suitable for this purpose. Soils of
low fertility which are particularly
low in phosphates should receive
fertilizers which are high in phos-
er
plioric acid, and which contain suf:
ficient nitrogen for the produetion of
a satisfactory top growth, Fertiliz-
ers containing 4-5 per cent of nitro-
ven, 8-12 per cent phosphoric acid,
and 4-5 per cent of potash are re-
commended for such conditions. Suit-
able analyses are 5-10-5, 4-12-4,
4-8-4, and 5-8-5. These fertilizers
should be applied at the rate of 15
to 20 lb. per 100 square feet per ap-
plication,
It is sometimes desirable to make
applications of small amounts of
quickly available nitrogenous fertiliz-
ers once or twice during the growing
season. Sulphate of ammonia applied
at the rate of 2 or 3 pounds per 1000
square feet is highly satisfactory for
this purpose under most circum-
stances. Sulphate of ammonia should
be used with caution on soils which
tend to be acid, however, since it
makes the soil more acid. Nitrate of
soda has the opposite effect on soil
reaction, and consequently is reeom.
mended for acid soils. Care must be
taken not to over-stimtnate the grass
by making too heavy or too frequent
applications of nitrogenous fertilis-
ers.
It is important that the fertilizer
be spread evenly. It is advisable to
divide the required amount into equal
parts and to spread each halt uni-
formly over the entire lawn in op-
posite' directions. The grass should
be dry at the time of application, and
the fertilizer should be thoroughly
watered in immediately after ap-
plication in order to avoid burning
the foliage,

OFF -GUARD PICTURES
Provide something for the subject to do, to draw his attention away
from the camera—and you' i get more natural pictures.
+DHE best eictures, as a rule, ap-
1 pear unposed. They seem to
have been taken without the sub-
ject's knowledge—and the result,
of course, is that the subject ap-
pears more natural, without any
camera -consciousness.
Some subjects are free of camera-
consciousness—they can pose quite
easily and comfortably for any pia.
tire. Others stiffen up and try to
"loop their best"—or insist on
watching the camera—and such
subjects mast be caught "off
guard" if you want a really effec-
tive picture.
That doesn't mean that the sub-
ject must be wholly unaware of the
camera. It simply means that his
attention must be drawn elsewhere
—focused on some other thing -at
the moment of exposure.
One simple solution is to give the
•subject something to
do—some-
thing toabsorb his .attention com-
pletely,
so he has none left over for
the camera. For example, consider
the picture above. The small girl is
too busy to watch the camera -she
must watch Daddy, who Is going to
catch her. Therefore, while t
ture has obvi.onsiy been arranged,
there is no stiffness. It is a genuine
"off -guard" shot.
Another goad trick is to plan.
the camera on a firth support,
pointing at the subject, and keep
your hand on the shutter release
while you engage in conversation.
For example, suppose yon want
some shots of Johnny blowing soap
bubbles. Place the camera on a
lawn table or chair, sit beside it,
admire a bubble as it grows, and
trip the shutter Casually when
everything is as you like it. You'll
find it easier—and the subject will
be more at ease than if you were
peering at hint through the view
finder,
If your camera has a fairly rapid
shutter, that's an advantage. Use
a shutter speed of 1/100 or 1/160
second, and you'won't have to cam -
tion the subj set to hold still.
Now, load, up your camera, pick
a subject that has proved "difficult"
in the past, and try these ':off•
guard" methods. My guess is
you'll get 'More
