CHRIST IN FLANDERS Mrs. Tennissends this poem taken from a magazine 25 years old, and originally published in the "London Spectator," the author an unknown soldier in the trenches. We publish it only in part. We had forgotten You or very nearly, You did not seem to touch us very nearly; Of course we thought about You now and then, Especially in any time of trouble, • We knew that You were good in time of trouble, But we are very ordinary men. Now we remember, over here in Flanders (It isn't strange to think of You in Flanders); We never thought about You much in England, This hideous warfare seems to make things clear. But now that we are far away from England We have no doubts, we know that You are here. Though we forget You, You will not forget us; We feel so sure that You will not forget us, But stay with us until this dream is past; And so we ask for courage, strength; and pardon, Especially, I think, we ask for par- don, And that You'll stand beside us to the last. TO OUR SOLDIERS Oh, youth of reckless daring, �•, Our hearts go out with you— We who are done with faring, Yet eager still to do. When comes the stern world's chal- lenge That you are answering, You bring us, lads so gallant, Our heart's eternal spring. Through you, we sense life's Rapture, That never can grow gray -- 'You left again }lope's stature, To light earth's, darkest day. —Rena Chandler. WARTIME PRAYER Bless, Lord, our soldiers, Fighting for Right, Thine is the Power, Lord, Thine is the Might; Veep Thou our loved ones, Hear when we call, Bring them safe home again, Father of all, Bless Thou our sailors Out on the deep, Stand at tfie helm, Lerd, Guard those who sleep, In the night watches Hear when they call;, Guide and protect them, Father of all. Wings of the nations, Men of the air, 13e Thou their Pilot, Thke in Thy care, Sinking or soaring, Hold lest they fall, Hear when they ciy to Theo, Father of all. —AE Stacey. THE ROYAL AIRMAN •Such a short while ago it seems Since he would lie in the cool, deep clover Dreaming his boyish dreams, Watching the birds ae they flew ov'r, And tiny pa'achutists spinning silk- en thread, From the gnarled branches overhead. He dreamed not of renown But charted` out an upward, distant way Into the summer sky, As there amid the clover blooms he lay; Can then the day he had his wings to fly Into the vaulted blue, over strange lands, Following the gleam Of truth and honor and lovely womanhood; He still does dream Of a new world, ruled by Christ's holy rood— Upwards he soars; for higher heights has striven, And upward still, into the courts of Heaven. •7 4 —E.

We shall lift the heart and dry the tear, We shall plant a hope in the place of fear, 1'i re shall speak the words of love and cheer; But what did we speak today? We shall be so kind in the afterwhile, But what have we been today? We shall bring each lonely life a smile, But what have we brought today? We shall give to truth a grander birth, And to steadfast faith a deeper worth, We shall feed the hungering souls of earth; But who have wo fed today? We shall reap such joys in the by- and-by, But what have we sown today? We shall build us mansions in the sky, But what have we built today? 'Tis sweet hi idle dreams to bask, But here and now do we do, our task? Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask, "What have we done today?" Nixon Waterman. MAIIING LIFE SWEETER Some people make a fortune, ' Some people rise to fame, But some folk with their kindness, On our hearts write their name. Some people walk Life's Highways, With great success and pride, But some folks walk Life's lowly streets With an angel by thein side. Some people take the best things That all the world can give, But some folk share their lot and— Make Life sweeter while they live. —Jean Morton, ENGLAND This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a con- queror. —Shakespeare. d,» ..., c aANAISIAN•O`IL cOMPAN ES, LfTleI.tED j o^Po.Y`Labd.swMA@ o:ks As COOKING HEALTH 4v,.. 9.IOM,T,P •°•0�9•M,Ni•MOVOMNMIN14,MONiW `MN.?lV,I'ANW:-0!oAftJd Aa.O.N pbNMwcS+APSOP:TO.IbAP4�0I nramese mn.minnwn-:,gaa,... .-rw.mswm+.... .. 4444.. ........ ... ny.x.—„n_. ._-..—. ri =w`IIy1 5 By „PEG" Are those Who ate fond of reading, as a rule, lonely? Any reader will tell you that they are not.' In. our reading we must include.the daily papers in order to be informed of world affairs. Then there are hooks relating to the' work in which we are interested, which we must read in order that Ott' knowledge may be broadened, *ell known auth- ors se. we may enjoy their beautiful and helpful thoughts end also acquire a more thorough mastery of the Eng- lish language; the different sciences, so that we will realize the advance- ment of every clay acquisitions; his- tory to help us understand the past of our own and other nations; and travel, to give us the geography and things dissimilar to our own in other parts of the world. We might go on telling of the further divisions of reading material, but space will not permit. Many'readers take a great deal of enjoyment out of magazine stories and articles, but to be a real earnest reader one must give fiction, or would we call it novels, rather a small place in our list of books. Reading critics tell us that we should not leave them out entirely for there are tines when ones frame of mind requires that sort of reading. There are many people today wlto would be very unhappy if they were left alone for an evening with noth- ing but a biography or a book on science to read, A ntan, whose education was limit- ed rose to a position.where lie found he simply had to do some heavy reading in order to be able to con- verse with those with whom he came in contact during business hours. Ile asked the librarian to give hien a book on .science. Ile went home de- termined that he would read it but after spending an evening at it he dreklccl that it would be a useless job. However he stuck to it and finished it. Then the librarian gave him another such book on a differ - cut line, This he wadd through but with less difficulty. As time went on he persevered until he was no longer ashamed to meet his as- sociates. What he could do we can do, if we wish to advance, With concentration no reading is too difficult and so to speak heavy reading will develop Our minds in a way which lighter leading will not do. Every one should have a library of his or her my". 'r'.- r- hi it should of course be the Book of Books. Then we should branch out from that until we have books covering practically all the different subjects. Our shelves should be tak- en up with read books not merely those which take up space and are raver read. When a book is our own we should make it a practise to mark it in such a way that we will know 1 just where to pick out any particular Passage which may refer to any sub- ject on which we happen to be work- ing. The same things do not appeal to all people and a well marked book is a real friend. Some of us can go back to the first story book we ever read. Children's books should always be supervised, either by parents, guardians, or lib- rarian, for quite often as a child reads so lie will continue to do. A change in our line of reading is a good thing, Time is marching on, and with it many new discoveries are being made, It is well worth our while to keep up with thein and to keep our minds from getting into a rut. We can make friends of those wham we meet in Biographies. They have failures in their lives as we have in ours. Quite often these are not told in books, and we are left to read between the lines. As we read such books we realize that they have the same problems which eve have, Thy have faced them and ronnuerecl them. Many have been led to a higher life anci a nobler one through the reading of a biog- raphy of a good man or woman. In the same way professions in life have been chosen. Who can tell how many young women have been led into the nursing' profession through the reading of the life of Florence Nightingale or the sacrificial cloath of 1lclith Cavell, Many times books which have been taken to the sick, have become real! ^emnsn!ons. A el-len:licl reference ' book was sent to the writer racently with a card enclosed "This book is .yours to react and to mark as you Dienes,,, Oft times we have a good book 1'anecl -to us. In it there., are passages ' which we would like to keep. A good idea to to have a small -sized. loose ieaO bis^k (you can get the rings and matte it yourself) and make a note. of these quotations, marking the book, the author and when read. In time you will come to think that..no book is worth reading which does not. give you something to be transferred into this book. It indeed becomes a very valuable asset to your library. It is the more valuable because it is personal. The books which we react, after all tell just what character we are. The depth of our minds is told by the material which we can retain. Many times we have been surprised at the reading which those with whom we conte in contact do. Let us always make it a rule to read something which will inspire us to higher things. We should never pass a book on to anyone until we have read it our- selves. What may seem perfectly right to some people in the books of today, May be quite the opposite to us. When a friend has been kind enough to lend us a book, take prop- er care of it and return it as soon as possible. We do not like to ask for a book which has been loaned but it maybe it is a book which is very valuable to us. First, and above all other books stands the Bible. Any librarian will tell you that almost every book in time takes its place among those which aro put on a back shelf or are discarded. Their material is out of elute. Through all the centuries the Bible has gone on just the same. Many authors have undertaken to re -write it, trying to make it lucre self-ex- planatory. Modernists have tried to deseredit portions of it particularly the divinity of Christ and the virgin. birth.- In spite of that, the St, James version remains the same, and gives to its readers the same warning and comforts. The Bible is a book of outstand- ing literature. There is no subject which is not taken up in its pages. Would that the world would conte back to reading the Bible and mem- orizing portions of it. Our Sunday Schools are neglecting this to a great extent, much to the loss of future happiness and comfort to the scholars. Those who are older cannot mem- orize the same as we could in our childhood days, but there is no rea- son why we should not be continually storing our minds with God's word and promises. The Bible is the most loved and at the same time the most hated book in the world. It has been written by forty different authors. It is God's word. There are many who know the value of the Bible but there are those who if they wanted to read it would have to take it out of sdme cupboard and dust it off. Let every ere of us cone back to the reading of God's word and when we have the message clearly in our own lives may wo become one of the channels through which Christ will pass on the love there spoken of to others.

This year's colours are gorse gold, bell heather, Firth blue, rowan berry, winerose, bronze moss, and, in trib- ute to Britain's golf links, fairway green. Wholesalers all over. the world send out reproductions of the colour cards to their own customers, and in this way the colours reach many millions of prospective buyers, so arousing their interest in the arrival of the tele- tiles themselves. One recent example of the effects_ of the Colour Council's work is a re- quest from South America for a ,bro- chute illustrating English fashions its interior decoration. OU should see the Tea Biscuits made by Mrs. E. B. Dalziel, who lives near Woodbridge, Ont. They have that smooth, tempting light- ness that has made Tea Biscuits so popular. "They are easy to make," Mrs. Dalziel said. "To have them fine in texture and light as foam, requires a flour with a good body. I use Robin Hood, not only for my biscuits but for all my baking. Here is the recipe I use. You can find it on page 35 of `Baking Made Easy' the Robin Hood recipe book, which you can get for nine cents in stamps." 2 cups sifted Robin Hood Flour 4 tsp. baking powder tsp. salt 3 tbsp. shortening f cup milk 1: Sift flour; measure, add baking powder and salt to flour and sift three times. elm 2. Add shortening to the flour by cutting in with two knives or pastry blender, 3: Add liquid gradually to form a soft dough, stirring as little as possible. 4. Turn the dough on to a lightly floured board and pat gently to 34 inch thickness. 5. Cut with a floured cutter and bake on a greased pan in a hot oven (450°F.) until lightly browned. Baking time: 12-15 minutes. They're sure to be good because Robia Hood is milled from washed wheat.

CLOSE -TIPS of small subjects make fascinating pictures for your album—and many snapshots et this type can be taken, even with fixed -focus cameras, that ordi- narily must be used five, six, or eight feet front a subject. The trick, of course, is to use a supplementary tens or "portrait at- taelunent," that slips en over the camera lens. Such attachments are inexpensive, and don't let the naive. mislead you. They are useful net Only for close-ups of people, but also for shots of any fairly sinall. subject. For example, consider the pic- ture of the butterfly above. At a distance of eight feet from the camera, the butterfly would be lit- tle more than a speck cis the ilio. hiowever, with a portrait attach- ment, the camera could be brought closer—in most eases, to within three feet of the subject, or less— thus giving you a much larger image. If you used a focusing camera, you could get even nearer by ineans of the attachment. For enc - ample, with a camera focused for three and one-half feet, the correct distance would only be twenty- three inches with the attachment in use. You could thus get almost twice as closet However, the short "tatting dis- tance" is just the beginning. If you get an image of reasonable size on Cite film, it can be increased con- siderably when enlargements are made—especially if you use a mod- ern lino grain Dim. And you don't. need to show the whole picture in the enlargement. Yon can have any surplus material at the top, bottom, or sides "masked off," so that yotu' picture shows only the portion. of most interest. The but- terfly picture was enlarged in that manner, and greatly improved. In taking close-up shots, remora- bet' emotabet' two points: measure the cor- rect distance very carefully, and use a rather small lens opening. Also, whenever possible, use line gralu film for better enlargements. These pictures are just about as easy to take as any other kind and big, dramatic close-ups certain- ly do lend interest to your snapshot collection. John van Guilder 29
