'Another year with all its hopes and
fears
- Has sunk into the deep abyss of
time,
And on the threshold of the new
we stand
Like strangers gazing into a far and
distant clime;
Hope, smiling, beckons us take
. courage,
Faith points to Heaven, where God
and angels dwell,
Assuring us that all our untried
future
Is known to Him who doeth all things
well,"
(Selected by Tempus Pugh.)
THOUGHTS ON FAILURE
What does it natter if we fall by
the way?
Strength will be given on another
day
To rise again and carry on-
By our very mistakes made wise
and strong.
Failure is kind, a friend indeed,
He knows and fulfills our deepest
need;
From him so many lessons we learn
Though oft with tears our eyes
may burn.
Thwarted ambitions, grievous loss,
If we're willing to learn, may prove
a cross
That is rich in blessings -and all our
pain
Will lead to joy and richest gain.
So does it matter if we fail to win
All that we'd hoped for? That's no
sin,
Failure holds a gift in his hand
We have only to take to under-
stand.
THE IDLE HOUR
It is not lost, this time of folded
hands
Between the bustling day and even-
ing's guests;
For while the over -busied body rests,
The mind growe free of governance,
expands,
Sloughs all its memorandum tacks
and stands
Like that new moth atremble for
brave guests
Among the tall -spiked flowers that
duslc invests
With fragrances of far-off years and
lands.
Sometimes up stairways of tremen-
dons height
I climb where great men's dreams,
left dizzy nark.
Sometmes I (]rift to songs of delight
Or range the future's pathways, glad
and fleet.
While twilight thus leads in the
friendly dark,
I have been often far on quiet feet.
VILLAGE SNOWFALL
The dusk is deepening; the village
streets
Are silent and deserted. Lamplight
glows
From neighbouring houses, and there
is the sound
Of children's voices -.from within. A
dog
Barks for admittance and a little girl
Opens the door for him. The fall
.of. snow
Begins with flakes that scarcely
reach the ground
Before they anelt to nothingness. The
wind
Is shifting, and within the hour the
walks
Are lightly covered 'and the limbs of
trees
Are whitening against the winter
dark. ,
Throughout the night the snow con-
tinues; dawn
Breaks on a scene of crystal. Child-
ren shout
Delightedly to ,one another. Sleds.
Are brought down from the attic and
gay plane
Are made to spend the day at Harp-
en's Hill.
And elders smile, recalling their own
joy
In the first snow, when they were
girl and boy.
---33, B. Cooper,
IF MY GIRL CAME
If my Mil came to me - I'd take
her in.
if she were branded with the rod
of sin,
Her face all white, her brown hair
old and grey,
I'd wash her wounds and wine her
tears away,
And never speak to her about the
past,
Only be glad to have her home
at last,
if my girls came to me, a Magdalene,
And all the sordid things that this
could mean,
I would not see the sin that made
her so,
I'd see instead the child of long ago,
All fair and geed, a little child again,
Hunting for violets in a shady lane,
If my girl came, with wounded hands
and feet
Stumbling along this shabby nar-
row street,
I'd have the door flung wide that
she night see
The glowing hearth -the table set
-and me
Running to meet her there besides
the gate.
So many mothers watch -and pray
-anti wait.
And so I think God watches for His
own
Down those long twisted roads they
walk alone,
And Ieaves the shining gates of
Heaven ajar,
That He might see. them coming
from afar:
And welcomes them as earthly moth-
ers do,
Because I would not shut the door
-on you,
R. A. F.
Hail! to the ,addles in the air,
From here, from there, from every-
where,
Who proudly fly, who bravely dare
The cruel Hun.
The world looks on, and says a prayer
For everyone,
We'lI take our time, we're going to
win,
We'll overthrow that man df sin,
His follow -dog named "Muss -o -line"
• Is but a tool;
Today he's sorry he came in
To Hitler's school.
So R.A.F., hats off to you,
Stern in your task, you'll see it thio',
And may your aim be ever true,
On land and sea,
Your faith in God, your will to da -
Shall set Wien free,
-John Beattie.

By "PEG"
We may definitely attribute our
fear to face the future, whether it be
weeks, menthe or years, to our lack
of courage. We have not got the
confidence to look forward and say:
"Whatever comes I will be taken care
of." In other words we depend on
our own ,strength instead of commit-
ting ourselves to the guidance of Him,
who careth even for the sparrow and
who has promised to care for us.
This lack of courage takes us out
of the ranks of the fighters and
places us among the quitters, Much
as we dislike to be classed among the
latter that is just where we are. Let
us visualize ourselves marching for-
ward with the courageous or retreat-
ing with the quitters. If we would
only spend even a few moments of
our time thinking along that line
there would soon be a "right about
face" and the ranks of the quitters
would be badly depleted.
To be corageous means to face our -
duty and to do it. Many of us. are
all too ready to step to one side and
let someone else do the work which
God meant for us to do, and yet we
are among the first to criticize those
who are doing just that sort of thing.
It is not always easy to muster up
courage and go on in the face of dif-
ficulties. It is often much easier to
just let go and to "rest on our oars." right now to try to make and start
(inc example of this is in connection
with church work. We know it is the world a fit place for Him? How
the few who have the courage to much happier we would all be. God
fight on and to keep things going, is on His throne from where He has
ruled the world for centuries, He will
continue to rule. We would not ask
Him to lifb this terrible burden of
than' we deserve. We have no money
to give to missions yet the papers:
of January first, nineteen -forty-one,.
carried a list of thousands of 'plates'
served to celebrants of the old year
out and the New Year in. Far into
the night people trailed to their,
homes, some in normal condition and
others far from it. The money spent
in this way in even one of our cities
would pay the salary of many of our
missionaries. Are we never going to
come to our senses? Surely by this
time we should be learning the les-
son which Christ intends we should
learn.. We cannot be scholars in His
school if we will not engage Him
as Teacher.
We should have the courage which
will enable us to conquer fear. Some
one has written the poem, "God
makes no mistakes." As we look
about us we are so often inclined to
think that God is letting worldly
things go their awn way, that He is
not troubling about what all this
chaos is going to mean to us. We
will never do better until we realize
that our disobedience has brought this
trouble upon us. We have been care -
lees about allowing the Iove of God
to mtdwell us. We have allowed hat-
red, selfishness and world pleasure
to take its place. Will we not hasten
to accept His challenge to do better
The test of tis are quite ready to
lot them do it, little realizing that
they are doing our work, How much
ashamed we should be of ourselves anxiety from our minds until the
when we look at the very small part world is ready to receive Him. We
we are doing to help on the Lord's made wonderful promises at the close
work, and compare that with the of the last war, but we d'id not keep
amount of work which is to be done.
This applies also to our lack of
interest in missions. Because there
is a war being waged between pagan-
i:.m and Christianity is all the more
reason why we who are Christians
.should put up a persistent fight an
the side of Christianity.
Can we visualize the missionaries
who are working in all countries and
the difficulties under which they are
now working? We are giving our
help to Red Cross work, which is es-
sential, but we are losing sight of the
fact that the Lord's work must be
carried are We are giving towards
war work because we fear the conse-
quences if we do not cla everything
in our power to keep the enemy back,
but we are not realizing that we must
give money to carry on the work of
the Lord. In many cases there are
no funds to send missionaries back to
the fields when their furlough at
hone is finished and no one is being
sent out in their place. As we refuse
to give His wink must retreat, Aleces
in heathen lands in which the gospel
of Christ was preached have been
left with no shepherd to guide the
flock. Such being the case world con-
ditions will become much worse as
long as the world lasts, in at Ieast
some parts of it the birth of Christ
will be celebrated: One Sunday re-
cent, a noted speaker spoke on the
subject "There will always be a
Christian." We know there always
will be and we ourselves know just
what part we aro going to play in.
making this possible, Do not forget
that if we fail to give to the Lord's
work that we are disobeying one of
Christ's most important commands,
"Go ye into, all the world and preach
the Gospel," With that command goes
the promise, "And lo I am with you
always." What a precious promise
that is at the beginning of the New
Year.
We should have the courage to
master self. The New Year has
dawned and is on its way. As we
look over the past year have we de-
cided that we are dissatisfied with
what we did during its hours. Self
has played a very important part in
it. Are we still going to go on our
own way and think of nobody but
ourselves? If. we do we.will certainly
have a black out in our lives. Shortl3'
before Christmas an. old man who
might be named "Scrooge" stepped up
to a elergyman on a busy street cor-
nier and said "Is this going to be a
white Christmas"? . Of course the
clergyman did not know. Then he
said, "Is this going to be a green
Christmas"? The minister answered
to the best of his abillty. The old
man called back as he shuffled off,
"It isn't going to -be either. It is
going to be a black Christmas." The
Sunday following Christmas the min-
ister asked the children in Sunday
School if Santa Claus had been good
to them. Almost without exception
they smiled and said, "Yes," The
minister said, "Better than you de
served"? To that question there was
little response. We should pray earn-
estly that God. will .make us realize
that our blessings are much better
them. Let us renew those vows with
a determination that no matter what
anyone else does, we will have the
courage to put fear out of our lives,
and that we will each one of us go on
to show that we have endeavored to
follow the General of the Army of
Christianity. Not until then will we
have any peace -on earth. We cannot
expect to defy God and at the same
time share His blessings.
When we begin to lose our courage
them we may expect to encounter de-
feat. When once the thin edge of the
wedge is started it is very hard to
get it out again, but it is not an
into: sibility.
There are many people to -day who
are not even trying to keep their
courage up. They know there is
something wrong, but they do not
know what it is. May God grant
that we may realize that it is His
lovewhichwe need and ere the year
gees any farther may we accept Him
into our lives, •
"There are no mistakes with God,
And God melees no mistakes;
Ile gives in love, lie takes in love
He gives before He takes.
His tender love conk' never cause
His child a needless tear;
Hereafter we shall understand
What mystifiea us here."

Year's Achievements Include Political, 'Hilda Hessen, well-known 'Canadians
Social and War Work globe-trotter.
(By GLADYS ARNOLD)
Victory for Quebec women in their
15 -year struggle for the provincial
franchise stood out as the ranking
political . achievement of Canadian
womanhood during 1940.
This success gave to the women: of
French Canada the same voting Mat -
us as their sisters of Canada's other
eight paovinaes-full national, prov-
incial -and municipal voting rights.
It was announced to the women of
Canada April 25 by Miss Idola Saint-
Jean, president of the Canadian Al-
liance for Women's: Votes, after the
enabling legislation has passed the
Quebec legislature and received Royal
assent.
Women also played a part in the
political field in all branches, of the
legislative set-up, from the Doi- vian,
parliament down, and in business, in
the armed forces, in humanitarian
work a ud administrative war work,
in refugee operations and the arts.
Feminine representation in the
House of Commons was changed and
reduced. After 19 years in parliament
Canada's first woman member of the
Commons, Mise Agnes MacPhail (U.
F. 0. Grey Bruce), was defeated in
the March Dominion election and Mrs.
Dorise Nielson (Unity -North Battle -
ford) took her place as the lone wom-
an on tate floor of the House.
Mrs. George Black (Con. Yukon.)
retired and her husband, Capt, Geo.
Black, former 'Speaker of the Com-
mons, was returned in her stead. In
the Senate, Hon. Cairine Wilson of
-Ottawa, and Hon. Iva Fallis of Peter-
borough, upheld the honors for their
ecx.
Election of Mre, C. R. Woods of
Stoney Plain to the Albezta•Legisla-
ture, brought number of women in:
the provincial assemblies to five.
Salome Halldorson Is a metnber of
the Manitoba Legislature and in the
British Columbia Meuse are Mrs.
Laura Jamieson, Mute. H. D. Smith
and Mrs. D. G.. S, S'teeves, all of
Vancouver.
For the first time in history two
women were named to the Montreal
city council during 1940 They were
Miss Kathleen Fisher and Miss Eliza-
beth C. Monk. In Winnipeg a new-
comer to the city cotmcil was Miss

Richardson of Winnipeg, Mss. Niel-
son and Senator Cairine Wilson.
More than 160 nurses volunteered
