FOR ENGLAND (Autumn, 1940) Let hearts be warm, the winter comes and snow. tThe world has a sad face, the world is cold. 'the leaves of summer fall, they have grown old. Let hearts be warm, and let us love, and know The constancy of what we have be- lieved. • This is the tinte to prove that we were right 2b build as we were building when they stopped. We look up, only to see violence dropped tri' Out of the sky whence we expected light. Some go. Some stay, and so we feel bereaved. • But is there any death for things that last ? The thing that passes had no life to live. What we maysave is worth more than we give. No thing once real ever could be cast Out of the soil ceived. Let us go on. back, And nothing to go back to if we turned, For all false hopes are like the rub- bish burned When streets are swept. Before us lies one track. Let us go on, untroubled, undeceived. —Pearl Strachan. in which it was re- 41, There is no going -SEPTEMBER By Lelia Mitchell Thornton A web of summer, a woof of fall, Sorted and shaded and woven to- gether; The sweet of roses, the tang of pine, And a dry -leaf fragrance, like soft new leather; Medley and mixture good to remem- ber, These are September.

SLEEP Sleep steals softly through the night And touches living things; Before her life and light take flight, On noiseless unseen wings. Her voice is in the evening breeze, Her breath is sweet and warm; Her song the sighing of the trees, The dream -spun clouds her form. Her awns enfold the tired world, The stars adorn her hair, Her tears are clinging dewdrops pearled, The moon her visage fair. —By Edward J. Maxwell.

Their morale children were taught and older peo- ple would just realize the truth of the saying "The God who is with you in the day time will be with you at night." What a difference it would make in all our lives. To those who are blind, it seems that darkness makes no difference. Recently, in England, two friends wished to go to a meeting in a church, which was within walking distance of their home but the way led through streets which were not often frequented by theist. They were a little nervous about starting out until someone said to theist "Take Mary with you, she knows the way (Mary was a blind friend) and you will be alright" After thinking it over they decided to do so and made the jourvtey there and back in safety. is very- high. Let us give them all we can along that line. Let the light of the victory which we believe through God's mercy will ultimately be ours, although we are far from deserving it, so shine in our lives that we will be able to pass that spirit of courage to those with whom we conte in contact, We at times think darkness is hard and cruel. It may be there is reason for that because the cloak of dark- ness is so often used to cover evil deeds. The majority of robberies, murders and such things are done in the silent watches of the night. Those who do theist think no one will see them, but they forget that God sees them and it is to Him that they will ultimately have to account. Darknes is not cruel. "The Dark is kind and cosy, The Dark is soft and deep. The Dark will pat my pillow And love nue as I sloep. God made the dark so day time Could close its tired eyes, And sleep awhile in comfort Beneath the starry skies," Following a bard and trying day what a comfort it is to limb into thoughts have come to us through bed, extinguish the light and be there g g with just the darkness for company. others who are spending their lives Then in quietness we can think, mel- in darkness, among these are John itate; recall passages of scripture, or Milton and George Matheson. The destroying angel passed over the home of the Israelites during the silent watches of the night. The heads of the families had all been warned to sprinkle blood on the lintel and door posts of the house and their eldest son would be safe. We know not when the angel of death will come to us but as the Israelites were warned that the life of their first- born son depended on their obedience to God so the warning comes to us that we must be always ready. Would we be ready if God called us tonight? Are we worthy of a place in the Eternal home? During his sermon on the recent day of prayer a min- ister said "Knowing yourself as you do have you any right to pray for peace." Let each one of us answer the question "Where was I on the day of prayer that I was not at church?" Will we ever realize that before the victory over the enemy can be ours we must forsake the world and conte back to God. As our hearts go out to those in stricken Britain in this terrible war we won- der if we in Canada expect that we are deserving of peace. It may be that God will yet have to bring 'us to our knees. Why will we not learn the lesson and come back. as individ- uals and as a nation before it is too late. Let us give this our very ser- ious consideration. A client once said to his lawyer before his ease was. called, "Are you sure there is nothing left undone? If judgment is pronounced against me I am a ruined man." Many of us would spend much more time over an earthly court than, over the final judgment. The pronouncement of "guilty" by tine foreman of a jury makes a great deal more difference to us than the final words of the Master. "Depart from me", as He sentences us to "outer darkness" for the endless ages . of Eternity. What are we thinking about when we take any .chance on receiving; that sent- ence? Why' wilt we persist in, fol- lowing the. footsteps of the evil one? We know we are doing wrong. Why We have had reason to learn many lessons from those who are living their life in darkness on account of blindness. To those of us who have had the privilege of seeing Helen Keller, a feeling of shame has passed over us as we realized the height of education and helpfulness she has at- tained although deprived of' her sight and hearing and how little comparat- ively we know although we have these 'faculties. Many inspiring poems and worry if we feel we have to, until sleep comes to us and the light wakens us in the morning. There is another beautiful vision which we do not see except when darkness cover the Earth. That is the dome of the sky above us with the myriad of stars, planets and constellations. Someone has beauti- fully expressed it in these words "At twilight the angels take their lant- erns and hang than out for the world to see the beauty of God at night as well as in the day time." The sun must sink to rest before this wond- rous beauty of the Lord can be seen. .49 ;Pt a/ktallSZe at/ FRIGIDAIRE ELECTRIC RANGE Look at These Other Advantages! Porcelain inside as well as out.

Try filters—they'll Improve your pic- tures, and add interest. COLOR filters—simple little de- vices that slip on over your camera lens—can add a lot to the quality and value of your snap- shots. If you've never used filters, now is a good time to start. All the experts use them, and they'll All; a big forward step in your own per- sonal photography. Slip a medium yellow K-2 filter on your lens, load the camera with any good "chrome" or "pan" film, and you get pictures with more natural tone values. Or, in techni- cal phrase, more accurate render- ing of relative brightnesses asseed by the eye. Which, briefly, means that your picture of any outdoor subject will come closer to showing' things as you saw them when you snapped the shutter. - Slip a deep yellow G filter on your lens, and you'll get clearer, better 'pictures of distant scenes that would look hazy in an "unfil-' tered" shot. You'll also get skies that look deeper than normal in tone—very effective in some pinto - alai shots. For spectacular effects, very dark skies, and exaggerated con- trast, load the "cameo, . with . "pan" film or infra -red film, and slip a red "A" filter on the lens. Don't use the red filter with other types of flim than panchromatic or Infra- red; it's for these only. From the effects described, you can see that filters open up an interesting new range of picture possibilities. The K-2 is the best all-round filter, so start with that, adding the G and A when you are ready to branch out into dramatic "effect" shots. Every filter, of course, cuts out part of the light to which a flim is sensitive, so exposure must be in- creased accordingly. Each filter's "exposure factor" is constant for each film, and exposure adjustment is not hard to calculate; but the easiest method is to use a pocket filter guide of the dial type. These cost but a few cents, and readily indicate. the exact lens opening needed in a particular situation. If you would improve your pho- tography—make use of filters. The . results will surprise you—in fact, you'll probably want to know. "Why didn't somebody tell me about this before?" 288 John van Guilder
