POEM OF THE DRUM
A. Saskatchewan reader, native
of Devonshire, 'referring to the
' "legend of Drake's Drum" in
"Thoughts by the Way" several
' weeks ago, sends the following
, poem by Lawrence Whistler,
Which he says is inscribed on a
pane of glass at "The'' Drum
Inn," Cockington Village, Tor-
quay, Devon.
Thake left a drum to Englishmen,
-And bade them beat and wake him
when
Perils upon his England come.
$ut now, where can we find that
drum?
You, who stand and closely peer,
Curious to read what's written
here,—
And see the light of English skies
•Silver the glass, and bless your eyes.
Think of the England, old and green,
'You 'wander and are happy in.
.And, if the hour of perils, come,
Find, in your own loud heart, that
drum.
ENGLAND
Heaven (that hath placed this island
to give law
To balance Europe, and her States
to awe)
In this conjunction doth on Britain
mullet.
The greatest leader, and the greatest
Isle!
Whether this portion of the world
were rent
By the rude ocean, from the Conti-
nent,
Or thus created; it was sure design-
ed,
To be the sacred refuge of mankind.
—E. Waller.
FOR FRANCE
let us speak softly of our sister,
Franee,
Stabbed and betrayed and fallen
by the way.
What agony is hers! Bitter mischance
Saw reptiles creep which shunned
the light of day.
Stunned and bewildered, yet she will
arise—
Strike, sword of Bayard! Horn of
Roland, sound! '
She will shake off the dust, with
flashing eyes
Confront the beast and fell him to
' the ground .. .
B,eturn, Saint Louis! Lead a new
Crusade
Against foes more pagan than the
foes of old,
,the cross—and view dispersed,
I
dismayed,
The powers of darkness, in this
hour grown bold,
Vive, La belle France! once "our
sweet enemy,"
Whose blood and anguish taught men
to be free,
—Moreno Westacott.
The world if full of willing people;
some are willing to work, and others'
are willing to let them.
AND I WAS HUMBLED —
I see it now, tho' then I was too full
Of vile Ingratitude's dark whis-
perings,
So small was I, to waste an hour in
dull "
Imagining of wrong that I'd en-
dured—
To wish that they had thanked me
for the month
I'd given to them in their neces-
sity;
It came to me, as I walked down a
path;
He gave so much, His life, yet
here was I . . .
A follower (oh; poor the name), I
wanted thanks,
And I was humbled, and asham-
ed . . .
So small am I.
Naide B. Holland.
THE HOME
To make a home= -to shape within
four walls
A sacred spot where love may live
and be
Fed by the living flame of zealous
hearts,
Hearts of twin aint and stirred
unitedly.
Horne is an instinct, deep, and
blessed of One
Who made man twain arid gave these
urge to bring
Offspring of theirs into a world
where life
Must e'er be kept in safe and tender
guise
Until its growth. A place to have
and share
Thought and experience; where
honesty is lain
Upon the altar and no evil e'er
Can sunder Love or separate the
twain
That shape a hone, and call on God
to 'be
Their Landlord and their Friend,
eternally.

National Exhibition, Toronto,
went to Mrs. Wardlaw Norris,
R.R. 3, Bolton, Ontario. And
every woman will want to know
how she made her rolls. Here's
her advice and recipe:
"One secret of making good tolls
or bread is to keep the temperature
right while the dough is rising.
Then to regulate the oven so they
hake to an even golden colour.
''snottier important point is to use
Robin Hood Dour. I have used
Robin Hood for four years and i find
itis always of the same high quality.
Robin Hood Flour makes the dough
very elastic and easy to shape into
fancy designs. It also makes the
rolls very white and fine of texture.
Tempting to look at and delicious
to eat. Another great advantage of
using Robin Hood Flour is that you
ere always delighted with all the.
- .baking you turn out,"

Humility
J
By "PEG"
Oft times we have expressed the Regal postions in life neither one of
wish that it might be our privilege
to see some man or woman who has
had some particular honor conferred
on them, It may be they have been
honored even by the Icing. We would
naturally expect to see some very im-
portant looking person; some one
whom we would never think of going
to in any kind of trouble. If it has
been our good fortune to meet or even
see such a one we have been surpris-
ed to find in many cases that they
were very human, very humble peo-
ple.
Just what is meant by the word
humble or modest'? The Oxford die-
tlonary explains it "Not overrating
ones merit; unassuming; retiring: We
have heard the expression "True
humility is true greatness." We
might just turn that around and say,
the highest quality of true greatness
is true humility.
Some of the most outstanding men
and women of our country are found
right in our own homes' and in our
home town. These people go about
attending to their own work, helping
where it is at all possible and then
just taking their own place again and
carrying on in theirown quiet way.
We can look back in our personal
experience and see many occasions
where sickness, trouble and death
have come into homes. These people
have quietly come in, have practical-
ly taken charge, attending to the
work which had to be clone; have
stepped in with some baking; have
offered to go on messages; have vol-
unteered to care for an elderly per-
son, an invalid or some children; in
part have been willing to do anything
to help. When it was all over there
was no saying: "I did such a thing
for them". With a spirit of true
humility they have said nothing and
very often with the exception of those
whom they have helped no one else
has known anything about it. Can
one say that they have not done a
great work
At times these people have visited
the home of a friend, a neighbor or
even of some one they did not know
at a time such es we have spoken of,
when trial of some sort has been
there before them. On occasions such
as that one is apt to tell things
which they otherwise would keep
close locked within their hearts, The
visiting one has realized that and the
confidence of the troubled one has
been respected, It is indeed a unpar-
donable crime to betray a trust at any
time and especially more so under
such circumstances, Simply apply the
question: "Would we like it?"
One great part of humility is the
fact that the person who possesses
it truly, after doing some great work
just forgets it, expecting no reward
but the satisfaction they receive from
having done what they could.
A very outstanding illustration of
humility is that found in our beloved
Icing and Queen, Their lives are
guided by a higher Power and they
are not ashamed to say it,Would
that all their subjects were as open
minded and expressive along- that line
as they are, Their Canadian subjects
will remember with deep gratitude
this humility at the time of the Royal
Tour of Canada. In spite of their
Ere darkness reigns supreme, when
day is o'er;
And after troubled hours, a restful -
When fretting care and worry are
no more.
A feathered choir sings vespers,
sweetly clear;
Beneath the sky's cathedral dome
I pray,
And one by one, like tapers, stars
appear,
And God and I commune at close
of day.
Howard Sheldon Ernst.
A SOLDIERS FAREWELL
If I should not return, Beloved,
Think only this of me—
My love for you that I will take
Into Eternity.
Remember all our happy days,
The 'winged hours of spring,
Our walks and talks and silences,
Romance in everything.
Oh, keep remembrance in your
'heart,
Your soul linked to the stars,
Our England shall be England still,
Swept clean of ruthless wars.
If I do not return, Beloved,
Think happily of me,
Who sleeps beneath a foreign ,sky
That England shall be free.
Laura Bedell.
them - at any time was too proud to
cheer the heart of thein poorest sub-
ject by speaking to them. What an
example they are to the peoples of
the British Commonwealth of Nations
and in fact to- the whole world! They
not only exhibit this spirit in their
own -lives, but they are teaching Prin-
cess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret
Rose the same principles. How pleas-
ed we were to hear these young prin-
cesses broadcast their faith and cour-
age in the words: "God will care for
us and give us victory and peace."
Just recently we were ' grieved' to
learn of the passing of Sir Wilfred
Grenfell, who forty-eight years ago,
as a young doctor came to this cont-
inent on the "Albert" a hospital ship
which had been fitted out in England,
and which was coming to Newfound-
land on a voyage of investigation.
Their plan was to look into the con-
ditions of the Indians and Eskimoes
of Labrador and Newfoundland.
When they arrived here Dr. Grenfell
saw a vision of the work which need-
ed to be clone. Like many of his
class mates he might have stayed in
England and made money;; but to use
his own words he "wanted to do some-
thing to help others.' Sir iiriifred
Grenfell has had perhaps more hon-
ors conferred on him than any other
man on this continent, yet he was an
extremely humble man. One hearing
him speak of his work, went away
with the idea that Sir Wilfred Gren-
feIl was the last person on the earth
he thought about and the surmise
would be correct. His object in life
was to see his loved work of the
Labrador prosper. He leaves as a
monument, hospitals, nursing sta-
tions, orphanages, schools and in-
dustries which cover 1200 miles of
the coast line of Labrador, and North-
ern Newfoundland. Jesus Christ,
whom he served, was the Director of
all his affairs.
We have no right to feel any higher
up than any one else. "le the sight
of God all nien are equal," Earthly
judgment, after all, should mean very
little to us, but the judgment of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ means
our life through Eternal ages. Some
day the great leveller Death will
come to each one of us, and we shall
stag equal in the pt;esence of God.
It is what we do here to help in the
Beyond which will count, Jesus
Christ, from his early youth learned
the trade of carpentering. In the
Eternal life He is the Master Build-
er, but as a carpenter here cannot
build a house without material, so
Jesus Christ wants us to send up
material for our home above. Is it.
not a beautiful thought that He so
thoroughly learned His trade here
that Ile can make the very best of
even the smallest particle of mater-
ial which we send on. We are not
going Beyond into a wilderness but
to a prepared place. "I go to prepare
a place for you."
Jesus Christ is the greatest ex-
ample of humility which the world
has ever seen. We are glad that the
inspired writers left us instances of
where He spoke to the poor as well
as the rich; those who were sick and
those who were well. There was no
phase of Earthly life with which He
did not deal.
The Leader whom we try to follow
was indeed a wonderful example of
the humility which we, so much ad-
mire and which plays 'such an im-
portant part in the life of a true
Christian. We cannot expect to show
any resemblance to Christ if we have
not developed the spirit of humility
for that is the spirit of Gimlet like-
ness.
"He thanks Thee best who serves
Thee best,
Who meets each glowing day
With grateful heart and lifted face,
To toil and rest and play,
Ho thanks Thee best who loves Thee
best,
And loving, loves each one
Who passes down the old high road
From sun to setting sun.
lie thanks Thee .best who trusts Thee
best:
Whose faith shines through the
dark—
A helpful, happy, hopeful thing,
For way -tired hearts to mark.
He thanks Thee best who worship
best:
Who kneels where none may see;
Who calmly waits to hear Thy voice,
Who has no God but Thee,"

COOKS
We may live without poetry, music
and art,
We may live without conscience and
live without heart;
We map live without friends, we may
live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks.
He may live without books—what is
knowledge but grieving?
He may live without hope—what is
hope but deceiving?
He may live 'without love—what is
passion but pining'?
But where is the man who can live
without dining?

TOWEL CURTAINS
Turkish towels make attractive
and suitable bathroom curtains. If
the window is fairly wide, use two
towels for each window, with match-
ing wash cloths for tie -backs. Run
the curtain rod through the hems.
They are easy to launder, need no
ironing, will not appear limp from
steamy showers, and come in lovely
patterns and colors. Economical, too,
because when you are tired of them
as curtains, they may always be us-
ed for towels.
CONVENIENT KITCHEN TOOLS
MAKE NICE GIFTS
Good quality tools, conveniently
placed, make food preparation a
lighter and pleasanter task. A nice
gift for the young housekeeper would
be one of the new matched kitchen
cutlery sets consisting of 10 pieces—
paring knives, carving and bread
knives, spatula, long cooking fork,
steel sharpener with stainless steel
blades, riveted ebonwood handles.
There's a sectioned wall bracket with
space for each piece.

SUSPENSE IN PICTURES
Suspense makes this picture interesting—and situations of this type are
easy to create. Try your hand at "suspense shots"—both "singles" and
"series." it's good camera fun.
QUSPh]NSE — the feeling that
something Is "about to happen"
—makes a picture interesting.
Watch. for situations that involve
suspense --or create the situations
yourself — and you'll find - a sure
route to effective pictures.
A situation doesn't have to be
complicated or out of the ordinary.
In fact, everyday situations are
usually better. A shot of the cat
watching the canary --a man blow-
ing up a toy balloon—somebody
building a house of cards—all
these are good, and you can think
of many others.
Such pictures are interesting be-
cause you can see the "trouble
ahead" signal. You anticipate the
moment when the balloon will
buret, or the house of cards will
topple. And, for picture purposes,
the anticipation is often better
than the actual event,
Of course, fee a shame to waste
a really good "suspense" idea on
just one picture. To get the full
force and flavor of the situation,
make a series. Build up the sus-
pense, picture by picture—then re-
lieve 11, by showing what finally
happens.
For example, take that house•of-
cards idea. Shoot one picture right
at the start, when the first two
cards are placed—theu two or
three more pictures as the house
grows, story by story. And last,
when It collapses, show your sub-
ject looking at the debris, with a
startled or disappointed expression.
If you have a small son or daugh-
ter, who can build the card house,
this series will be a "natural' for
your album. Or, try it with Uncle
John as the subject.
Again, take the cat and the gold-
fish—as shown above—tor the
start of a "suspense series." Just
put your aquarium on a table in
the sun—and the at will provide
the necessary poses, Shoot each
good pose as it occurs— then ar-
range the shots in the best order
later. This series, of course, would
wind up with a final shot just as
the cat loses interest and starts to ,
Jump off the table.
Try your hand at suspense pic-
tures ----both "singles" and ."series"
shots. They're easy to get, and the
eituatlons are easily created. And
such shots do lend spice to your
picture collection.
