THE KITCHEN "NICK-NACK"
BOX
A fountain pen that doesn't work,.
A comb that's lost some teeth;
A notebook with the cover off,
A whistle underneath.
' Two spools of thread, a three•ineh
nail,
A lace from somedne's shoe;
Elastic bands, a bib, some tape,
And, lol behold a sou!
• Some screws, eknife, a bottle cap,
A pair of mended socks
Where did you say I found all these?
Why! in the "Nick -Neck" box.

BEST POEM OF THE WAR
The poem of the war has been
written by Sergeant J. J. Rea of
Lancashire, who went through the
last war and was in the recent fight-
ing in France. His poem is an in-
spiring tribute to his mother country
--England:
'What will you give me, England,
That I may beat the foe?
A host of ships, a host of planes,
A host of guns, I know;
The might of dauntless fighting men,
Of women at ti eir posts;
The wealth of mighty Empire.
These are no idle boasts.
All these you give me, England,
That I may reach the goal;
But, God! how meagre are these gift,
Without a valiant soul.
'What will you give me, England,
That nations may be free?
A sea of blood, a sea of tears, '
War's wrath and misery;
The cries of stricken, weeping wives;
Of children at their knees;
The pillaged peaceful homesteads,
Prom whence our people flee?
All this you give me, England,
War's grim and bloody toil.
0, God! give me the strength to bear;
0. Godl inspire my soul.
What will you give me, England,
When victory is tnine ?
A QUIET DEFIANCE OF
ADOLFHITLER'
This peopled earth is trine to walk
upon,
The busy seas are mine for jour-
neying,
And mine the cloud -embroidered
sky to wing:
These are my rights, inalienable —
not gone
Becaues a mouth is loud—that every
dawn
Restores to me in constant offer-
ing
From a free past whence flesh and
spirit spring:
Unfearing breath, my human beni-
son.
For all who went forth searching,
these my kin,
Have left the whole wide world to
house me in,
And men who never knew a circled
thought
Have willed to me the freedom that
they wrought;
These breathe in me where'er their
death -stilled hands
Have fed the myriad grass of many
lands.
—Clare Shipman, in the Pioneer
Press, St. Paul, Minn.

"Not My Will But Thine, Be
Done"
....r By "PEG"
Perhaps at no time in the history ( bereft of two, three, four and in one
of the world has there been an oc= instance five children, the thought
rasion when we have more felt the
need' of that provision to our prayer.
"Not my will, but Thine, be done.
As we prayed we have been thankful
that there is a righteous God who
will hear and answer our prayers in
His own good time and way and so
we put our trust in Him knowing
that in the end all things will work
out for righteousness sake;
Our beloved and • honored King
George VI in his recent broadcast to
his peoples said "Let us, then, put
our trust as I do, in God and in the
unconquerable spirit of the British
peoples" Never can we forget the
faithfulness of King George and
Queen Elizabeth to their subjects at
this time. This loyalty on their part
is nnade doubly dear to us as we real-
ize that their trust is in God who
is still at the helm of the ship of the
world.
Trying and anxious times have
been in many homes when parents
have seen their children leave home
to join the defence force of the Em-
pire. This must be made a great
deal easier whenparents know that
their children are trusting in anall
sufficient Saviour and that they have
done their best to bring them up in
a Christian atmosphere. How dread-
ful the feeling must be of those
parents who go through the exper-
ience of seeing the go out to the
front line knowing they have had no
influence for Christianity on thein
because Christ has had no place in
their lives. God gave them those
children in trust for Him. They
have allowed the things of the world
to creep in and instead of being
stewards of their family for Christ
they have led them in the opposite
direction, Have parents taught their that the world might be made safe
sons and daughters the importance for the future, night be brought back
of keeping their minds and bodies in safety to them; Jesus Christ,I3im-
i
came to us "It would indeed be hard
for those parents to say "Thy will,
not mine, be done" but we know al-
most without exception they would
be able, with God's help, to rise
above their sorrow and realize that
their personal loss'nneant a glorious
gain for their children.
In these strenuous'times there are
many occasions when we find it hard
to submit our will to that of our
Heavenly Father. Very helpful ser-
mons are being preached from the
pulpits of our lands on "Fret Noh,
Trust." Christians have no need to
fret. God has endowed us with the
ability to trust and He has given us
His promise which will not fail that
if we trust in Him all will be well.
We have no right to question His
wisdom. A little lad was sitting on
the running board of a car watching
some lrilitary manoeuvers. He looked
up at a gentleman in the ear and
said -"Will there be a big nisi?" The
man replied "Yes, sonny, there will
be." The little lad jumped up and
ran away muttering to himself "I
must find my daddy." He was seen
seeking out, his father and putting
his little hand in the protecting one
of his father. If we have condifdence
in our Heavenly Father to such an
extent that we can place ourselves
in His guidance and care we have
no need to fear.
We read in God's word that Paul
prayed many times that the "thorn
in. his flesh might be removed. Moth-
ers and fathers have been, almost
frantic in their plea that the life of
their little one might be spared;
parents are now praying that their
sons and daughters who have volun-
teered to give their lives if need be
amorally clean and have they impres-
sed, on them the temptations of
which may await them. Many times
these men and women will be tried
and tempted but may the memory of
prayhng fathers and mothers keep
them pure. If parents have neglect-
ed their religions obligations to their
children let us hope that somewhere
a Christian influence will come into
those young lives, and that they will
turn to the One who alone will be
their comfort in the trying days to
•come.
So often we pray "Thy will be
done," and no prayer is complete
without that condition, yet when
Christ exerts His will we are in-
clined to feel that He has been harsh
with us. Would that when we offer
that prayer we would just give our-
selves wholly into His keeping firmly
determined that we will accept His
judgment whatever it may be.
Last week we were horrified when
we read the report of the sinking of
the Canada -bound City of Benares,
with her great doss of life, some
adults but a large number of child-
ren, who were coming to this country
for protection during the period of
the war. As we read down the list
and realized that some homes were
self, prayed that if it was God's will
that the cup of shame, sorrow and
suffering might pass away from
Him. In spite of all these supplica-
tions Paul's thorn in the flesh re-
mained; a little child or some dear
one has been called hone leaving a
vacant chair; sons and daughters are
paying the supreme sacrifice on the
altar of patriotic devotion, and. the
Saviour of the world went through
the garden of Gethsemane; HIe was
tried before an unjust Judge and was
sentenced to a cruel death on the
cross, He was taken to Mount Cal-
vary and was there crucified between
two thieves. These had all been
earnest prayers. Had they gone un-
answered? No, in each case, with
the exception of that of Him who is
preparing an eternal home for us
they were symbolic of humanity to-
day. God has not answered prayer
in the way the suppliant wanted Hint
to, but in pursuing His will and in
allowing us to be hurt and disap-
pointed He has made it a means of
drawing us closer to Him and we
have lived, in many instances, to see
the day when we have thanked Him
that He answered our prayer in His
own way and not according to oar
will. In looking back over our lives
we can all agree with. that. Jesus
Christ prayed that the cup would.
pass from Him, but after God had
tried and tested Him to the full Ile
was able to say "It is finished" and
"Father, into thy hands; I commend
my spirit "
A very beautiful story is told by
Sir Wilfred Grenfell. One day he
discovered to his dismay that he was
drifting out into the Atlantic Ocean
on an ice pan. Night was coming on
and hour after hours passed with
little chance of him being rescued..
He had no means of kindling a fire
and he realized that death was fac-
ing hiin unless soon rescued, as he
would freeze. He secured a certain
amount of protection by killing three
of the four dogs he had with him
and in wrapping their skins around
him. Thus he spent the night. When
morning came he found he was many
miles from shore. With a sinking
heart and as a last hope he made a
mast of the frozen legs of the dead
dogs. To this he attached a part of
his shirt, Hour after hour he waved
this. The sun shining on the ice was
rapidly bringing on a snow blindness.
Finally his signal was seen and he
was rescued, for the time being blind-
ed and with his legs frozen. He af-
terwards told that during his trial
the following words kept running
through !lis mind and were the means
of a great source of comfort to him:
"My God, my Father, while I stray
Far from my home, on life's rough
way,
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
"Thy will be done"!"
God's will is always best and as
we pray that His will may be ours
we earnestly hope that we will in-
dividually be one of the army of
consecrated men and women who
have resolved that as Jesus Christ
even in these days, daily goes to
the cross that we will be one of His
band of followers.
"There is nothing to fear for the
faithful heart
Though storm clouds break, and
friends depart;
There is nothing to fear: for tke
battle's won
When we learn to say, "Thy will
be done."
There is nothing to fear for those
who, pray
For strength and guidance on the
way;
Though the last faint hope has all
but gone—
The trusting soul goes bravely on."

THE ART OF PRINTING
The inventor of this noble art to
find,
Has long engaged the ani;iquary's
mind;
To question dates, through books and
records pore,
To draw the veil obscurity has cast
o'er;
Vain are his efforts, 'tis beyond his
might,
To fix, in truth, on man or place
the right;
Doubts still exist to whom the palm
is due,
Partisans for each persistent claims
pursue;
But metal types the honor all confer
On Gutenberg, Coster, Mentelin or
Schoeffer.
