But these walls have been whitewashed. A paint dealer told me to wash these walls with muriatic acid, but as I don't like to handle this, is there something else I could use? Answer: The paint dealer's sugges- tion of a muriatic acid solution wash,. after the whitewash has been remov- ed, is to take off all traces of the 'whitewash in the pores of the con- crete. A thorough scrubbing with a hot washing soda solution; about 3 pounds to the gallon of water, may be as sastisfactory, depending of the quality of the whitewash. Rinse with. plenty of clear water.

YOUNG JOHNNY CANADA Young Johnny Canada has fastened on his wings, Taken out his airplane and gatherd up his things. Hitler slapped his grannie', and Johnny's face is grits, For he is gr'annie's laddie, and they can't cl o that to hits, England is his grannie, and they're kicking up a row, Making her unhappy as only they know how. Young Johnny Canada is tall and strong and slim, But his face is stern and scowling - for they can't do that to him. Young Johnnyi Canada has taken to the air, And flown to help old England; He is somewhere over there. He'll find the Huns and strafe then, and bring them into trim, For England is his grannie and - they can't do that to him. -Lillie A. Brooks, I need to fill in 140 square feet of lawn, where I can't get grass to grow? Is there any special way of setting them? Would it be better to arrange them face up or edge up? Where can I get used brick for the purpose? Answer; If laid en edge about 8655 brick will be needed; and about 550 brick is laid flat. First excavate to a depth of about four inches. Lay one inch thickness of sand for the border brick, width are placed on edge. Then lay and temp or roll a •two-inch bed of sand or cinders for the rest of the area, placing the brick flat, Leave about a half-inch space between the brick. As soon as they are laid, fill the joints by placing a layer of sand on the walk and sweep it into them with a broom. In a few clays' time sweep more sand into the joints to fill them completely.

By There is nothing more beautiful i its simplicity, solemnity and true meaning than the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. No true Christian ever goes to. the table of the Lord without feeling that he or she is Unworthy to: par take of the emblems of the broken body and shed .blood for of our Sav- iour. What a joy it is to us to know that the Sacrament was instituted for those who are unworthy, in order that from one communion to the next we may through the confession of our sins and prayer for guidance grow in grace, and thus draw nearer to Him, whose death we Commemorate. Only one, Jesus Christ, has ever been worthy to partake and it was for sinners like yon and the that He, as one of His last earthly wets, in- stituted the Lord's Supper. Jesus must look in sorrow on anyone who refuses to take the Sacrament be- cause he thinks he is not good enough. Partaking of communion will never save us, but we cannot earn- estly and prayerfully come to His table without feeling that we are bet- ter able to face the future. Surely no one of us has ever been guilty of saying "I am not going to take Communion because so and so takes it and he et she has done me a great wrong." That sort of thing will do us no good. We each one must answer for ourselves. Let us individually get right with God, and leave everyone else to the first Judge oft the world, who it His wisdom and kindness will pass sentence. It may be that while we are stay- ing away a from the r Lod •t YLord's Table e be- cause someone else whom we consider u'tmrorthy is partaking that our ac- tions, according to their judgment have been such that they are absent- ing themselves. 'PEG• upper n of a very unlovely disposition and we sometimes feel, as it may be they do about us, that we would just like to get away from thein altogether. These people carry with them a dis- turbing and depressing spirit, which is the means of dashing many hopes to the ground. It mixes up in church affairs and very often hinders or even destroys the Lord's work. As we come to the table let us determine to do away with this in et* lives. This is. just one of the many things which we could enumerate, but individually we can think that over and act ac- cordingly. When we have finished "saying our prayers" we should at times stop and count the things we have asked for and compare them with the things we have been thankful for. In the majority of cases the "ask you&' have been far in excess of the "thank yous." Should that be? No. The time could quite possibly come when we have asked for everything we needed or in fact wanted, but the time would never come when we could have thanked God for all. His mercies to- wards us. A little child one night said of her father, "Daddy, I am going to count the stars." The father knowing it was a childish idea, but wishing even at her tender age to impress on her the magnitude of the firmament told her to start. After a time he heard her say, "One hundred and twenty, 01t dear! I had no idea there were so many." No more have we any idea of the many blessings God has be- stowed upon us and yet how thankful we are. Let us take five minutes of our time rasa with pad and pencil jot down the many reasons for thanks- giving we haves It will astonish us, yet we are continually asking for more without thanking Him for what He has already given us. Christ's sacrificial death on the Cross included forgiveness of those who were even then causing His ex treble pain, suffering, and later His death. His prayer was "Father, for give them, for they know not what they do." Can we not come to His table with forgiveness in our hearts. In the words from the Cross it means much to us to know that Christ was very much human when these words were uttered. The purely 'human. words "I thirst", also spoken from the cross bear out this thought. As we partake of the emblems Iet the following words be a comfort to us: In olden times, at certain periods, if at all possible, it was customary for a Roman soldier to return to Ronne to renew his allegiance to the Emperor, so it is indeed a privilege to us to be able to come to the Table of the Lord, thereby renewing our allegiance to the Ring of Kings. We have been requested to do this "in remembrance of Him". As we come to Iiis table with thought of loyalty towards Him so we shall become more like Hint. Even the sacrifice of life is not a true offering unless it is made wiIl- Ingly, The death of Christ which we commemorate, in taking the Lord's Supper, was made voluntarily, We have never done anything to warrant such supreme agony as manifest in the suffering and death of Jesus. All we are asked to do is to accept the Salvation which has been so dearly bought. Phillip Brooks says "Con- stant personal fellowship with Jesus Christ is Christianity. That is what differentiates the religion of the Bible from all others. A man is a Christian in so far as he knows Jesus Christ." Our Thanksgiving Day for this year has come and is gone. How many of us went away by ourselves and made any attempt at ail to count our blessings? Doubtless many of Us pondered the things which are worrying us and allowed them to blot out all the sunshine of the joy which ;nay so easily be found in the world even today, We allow ourselves to dwell too much on every -day affairs. Not that we should neglect to give serious thought to world affairs, but God is still on the throne. He is the Ruler of the world and nothing but right can conquer. On a recent Sun- day one of the noted speakers of our land announced to his congregation "that he proposed' henceforth to ex- pound the eternal truths and avoid discussion on current events in the pulpit." It would be a relief to many minds to feel that for that period of the week at any rate the war and. all its tragedies need not be' dwelt upon. Love is the keynote of the Sacra- ment. Can we not talk more about it to those with whom we come in contact day by day, Are we spend- ing the time in prayer which we should be doing and as we pray for victory are we bringing our enemies to the throne with hatred or are we praying that God will help us 'to ex- hibit the spirit of love even towards those who are causing this world tragedy? Do we come to the Table of the Lord in the frame ,of mind in which we should come? Momus, the son of night, was the God of destructive criticism. He found fault with every- thing, nothing was ever done right. Very few of the present day people have heard of Momus, but the spirit of the God of destruction is very much with us in some people today, and it may be that others are quite justified in making that remark to- wards us. This is the personification "Sweet memorials -till the Lord Call us round His heavenly board; Some from earth, from glory some, Severed only "Till He cone." Sacrament of the Lord's Supper brings sadness to many hearts. When we Look back on other similar high occasions and think of those who for- merly partook of the emblems 'with us, but oh! the joy which comes into our hearts as we think of them join- ing with our Saviour round the festal board on high. "In memory of the Saviour's love, We keep, the sacred feast, Where every humble, contrite heart Is made a welcome guest, By faith we take the bread of life With which our soul's are fed, The cup in taken of His blood That, was for sinners shed. Under His banner thus we sing The words of His love, And thus anticipate by faith, The heavenly feast above." "PEG" TEA IS BECOMING FAVOURITE DRINK OF TROOPS ABROAD OTTAWA -Canadian soldiers over- seas have developed a fondness for tea and are inbiding in the national beverage of the Old Country with typical British regularity. Tea drinking has become such a custom among the men, in fact, that the overseas organization of the Can- adian Legion War Services is putting into operation early next week an- other mobile van to follow the troops during route marches and night man- oeuvres when they ase away front their own regimental kitchens. Hot tea, which is served' free of charge, is greatly appreciated, especially now that cooler weather has arrived. According to Captain Charles W,. Evans, ovea?seas manager of the C. L. W. S., the van will also carry sups plies of cigarettes, candies and cakes. It will be in charge of Cap- tain the Rev. W. T. H. Cripps, former rural dean at Red Deer, Alta., who is one of the 10 Legion supervisors now with the 1st and 2nd Canadian Divisions. , Tested Recipes «t!41.4":44t4«4.4-444.44«±«t«!»scea Brisket of beef is another little- known cut in the thrift class.

DICTURES of outdopr scenes 1 form au important part of your album, and opportunities for these landscape pictures can be found wherever you go. However, to make the most of an outdoor scene, here are some points to keep in mind. First, always include a fore- ground -especially when you shoot broad, open scenes. "Foreground" simply means something of inter- est near the oamera. If you are on a hilltop, and want to picture the valley below, don't stand at the very edge of the hill. Back up a little way so that you can include a tree or a guard rail -or better still, a person admiring the scene. Second, when you shoot distant scenes always use a color filter if More Is the least bit of haze in the air, With the popular types of "chrome" and "pan" )rims, a yellow filter will show the scene just about as you see it; but without a filter, the distant parts may seem too hazy. For great clearness in distant scenes, use a deep yellow G filter; or use "pan" film and a red A filter. Third, don't overlook pleasing nearby bits' of Landscape. The broad distant scenes appeal to the eye -but often small scenes hake more attractive pictures. A curving brook, a little waterfall, a pasture corner formed by an interesting stone wall or rail fence, a turn in a country road with overhanging trees -all these can yield delightful pictures, when yon choose your camera position with care. The camera position has a great deal to do with the success of your scenic shots. Note the picture above. The fisherman makes a good spot of interest in the fore- ground, the mountains Iend inter- est in the distance, and a filter brought out the clouds. However, the picture would be still better if the camera had bean held lower, and nearer the fisherman. That would narrow the strip of water, and bring the mat's head higher in the picture space -thus break- ing the straight, level water Inns is the' distance, Remember these points in shoot- ing scenic pictures -a filter, a fore- ground, and a well-chosen camera position. Practice landscape shoot- ing in the late summer and autumn months, and be ready for winter scenes later. Good scenic shots add value to your album no matter what their season. 297 John van Guilder
