Schools have been discontinued throughout the summer months al- though a large percentage of the children would not be away for more than one or two Sundays; and as. has been mentioned before Prayer Meet- ings are largely a thing of the past. during July and August.

Even those who are professing Christians have fallen far from the. standard which Christ has held upp for them. Some one speaking of the last Great War recalled that King George 5 asked for a day of Repentance and Prayer. In this war days of prayer are being 'proclaimed, but can we really pray without coming in the spirit of repentance. We look back to the days at the beginning of the present war and .compare them with the days through which we are passing now.

Losses inspected by the director We say, "with God's help we will win the war" but when we are se de- termined to go contrary to His wish- es and His comm'and's we have no right to expect His help. This is a serious matter and one 'which we must face indiividually for each one of us must realize that he or she can help to make the world better. Alas, many of us seem to be working in the opposite direction. For instance, in church work, we as members have a voice as to what will be done about closing these sere vices' but we have no right to ask that the different meetings will continue if we do not expect to put forth an effort to be present. We cannot sit comfortably on our verandah or in our back garden while others are wending their way to God's house. We must be ready to do our part. There is so much to be done. Would that each one who does not know Christ would come to Him with a penitent heart, and those who do know Him would determine to do more, for Him. We, who are older, eau recall the evangelistic services, where people would crowd the church night after night. A minister and usually a sing- er would conduct a service, at the close of which an altar call would be given. Christian workers would go from one to another trying to point out the way of salvation. Many were led to the penitent bench and there accepted Christ as their personal Saviour. Such meetings have come under, very severe critisism as those oppos- ed to then claimed that the people did not continue to follow the stand which they took. Probably some did not but in later years many returned to the Saviour whom they that night had accepted. Then too there were those who started on the straight and narrow way and continued with God's help to the end of their earthly course. They confessed their sins and accepted Christ. That was the rale in older times and so it it today. Christ will not come into our lives unless we invite Hint to and our ac- ceptance of Him implies our acknow- ledgment of our sins. Over the Vict- oria Falls in the Zambesi river there is a world renowned bridge: It was constructed by building an arm out from either shore. Then the two out- stretched arms were joined from eith- er centre over the raging falls, neith- er arm could have been built to reach the farthest shore. So it is with our repentance and acceptance of God, We must come to Hint and He will come to us. i ANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS TIME TABLE Trains will arrive at and depart from Clinton as follows: Buffalo and Goderich Div.

When Samuel John- ston was a lad at Lichfield his father sold books in a stall on market days. One day lie was not well and asked Samuel to go and do his work for hien, but Samuel was too proud. The poor old man went himself, with the result that he was ill after it. The thought of his selfishness remained with Samuel J eh n - famous in England he went and stood for hours, bareheaded on the road near tvhere his father's stall had been. People stared at him- thinking he was demented, but he was simply trying to still his conscience. Not even to himself could his act make right the wrong which he had done, but he was endeavouring to calm a troubled mind, When we come to Christ and confess our sins He will freely forgive us and will put all these things behind His back. Following our repentance there IDomes the soothing which we receive from prayer. Recently a woman who is a meek and humble follower of our Saviour said to a Christian friend "Have you ever in your life experienced a time when you could say you definetely accepted Christ?' The friend replied, "No I never have My parents were Christian people and from them my earliest days I have regarded Jesus Christ as my personal friend. Many timesi have sinned and have had to ask His for- giveness and I know that He has for- given me." The first woman said, "I am glad to hear you say that for there are so many who claim that you have to have a definite turning point in your life and I never have had."

It is a modern version of stock- fish, which in Tudor times was expor- ted in huge quantities from Scotland to the Catholic countries of Europe. The Spanish Armada, sailing in 1588 on its obortive attempt to invade Englund, carried 8,000 quintals of stock -fish to feed its crew. By the modern method, which is applied to ling and cod, much of it from Newfoundland, the fish is sliced open and the inside removed. Then, by ,special vacuum process, the water is drained out until the fish is only one-third its original bulk. Packed in salt it will then keep for many weeks. Although it does not look :partic- ularly appetizing in this form, a soaking in warm water brings it back to its original freshness. it is then boiled, fried or grilled according to taste. ICE CREAM FROM SEAWEED And Macaroons from New Zealand Fruit. Stones Wall boards from Ceylon coconuts, macaroons from New Zealand apricot, peach and cherry stones, building blocks from the coral mud of British Honduras and canned chicken from India are among the investigations reveiwed in its new report by Brit- ain's Imperial Insitute. The Institute has carried out ex- geriments on the production from Malayan seaweed of agar -agar, a sub- stance used for such diverse purposes as cheap American ice-cream, Chin- ese bird's-nest soup, electro -plating, and a laxative. Malayan tonka beans, which impart to tobacco the scent of new -mown hay, have been examined, as have Australian sub- stitutes for Swedish and Spanish welding rod coating materials. There are reports on ruby -mica from India, South African chicory seed and New Zealand pigs' hair; sheepskins from Tanganyika and banana stems from Palestine; Anti- guan cotton seed, Nyasaland tung oil and Nigerian ginger; soap from Bur- ma, sansevieria fibre from East Af- rica, raisins front Cyprus, cashew nuts from Sierra Leone and Medicinal plants Southern Rhodesia. Under war conditions, much of the Institute's work is secret, but it may be stated that the Plant and Animals Department made reports on 212 samples and dealt with 1,66 other in- quiries from thirty-three Empire countries, while the Mineral Resour- ces Department examined 1,884 samp- les and dealt with 1;715 inquiries. lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. If we do our Sal- vation is assuerd, but if we do not we many expect no consideration from Him who died that Salvation might be free.

Brings American Dollars to Britain Hiring out dresses for copying is the latestscheme for bringing Amer- ican dollars to Britain. It is the idea of Mies Raymon✓. Rahvis, a leading London fashion designer, who has left for New York with fifty dress models and forty coats, together with hats and other accessories, all autumn de- signs, for day and evening, Miss, Rahvis will exhibit her dress- es in. New York and charge Amer - Man designers 100 dollars entrance fee, which will enable them to copy one dress. Afterwards, she will take the dresses to Chicago, Hollywood, New Orleans and Kansas City. This "Hire to Copy" scheme will be an ideal form of export for Britain, for it entails very little use of mat- erials; it is, in effect, an export of British ideas. The models emphasise the dropped shoulder, achieved with trimming plaeed down the sleeves, yokes and insets of contrasting colour. Collars have incrustations : in the shape of labels and considerable attention has been given to embroidery. The tweed ensembles feature unusual contrasts, like grey herring -bee for the skirt and brown herringbone for the jack- et. THEY DRINK HIS HEALTH From a Winston Churchill "Toby" .. Toby jug of Mr. Winston Church- ill's resolute and Cheerful face is a best seller in. the United States and Canada. The makers have doubled the value of china figures sent to North America since the war. All told, Britain shipped nearly 42,000,000 worth swore pottery over- seas. last year than the year before, and was at the same time making much more industrial pottery for home use,especially chemical stone- ware, to take the place of metals needed for the war. Chemical stoneware is now being used for pipe lines, valves, tanks and storage vessels. It compares in strength with grey cast iron; it can be worked with a chisel; and it can even be ground to the most precise measurements.. Stoneware, •moreover, resist corrosion except by hydroflu- oric acid. Once Germany alone was making laboratory. porcelain. Today Britain is supplying herself with laboratory porcelain and also with porcelain filters for water and acid filtration and for laboratory, research. EVE'S PINS ARE RATIONED And Britain Ships 4165,000 Worth Overseas Before the war the women of Brit- ain were squandering pins at the rate of 5,350,000,00 a year. Now they face a pin famine. For the pin manufacturers, with limited supplies of raw materials and and increased demands from the Government for such State depart. ments at the Stationary Office, and administrative departments, has also to push its exports. In 1940 Eve, used to wasting pins, had to curb her .extravagance and keep herself together with a mere 2,500 million of them. The result is a real pin famine.

Mount Edith Cavell A Mountain Memorial To A Heroic Woman There are many monuments to the memory of the heroes and heroines who gave their lives for the cause of freedom and democracy in the first world war but the magestie shrine, which has been named after nurse Edith Cavell is perhaps the most in- spiring of them all. Beautiful Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park will keep alive the memory of that courageous woman as long as the her- oic exploits of the• men and women who thwarted the German bid for world domination a quarter of a cen- tury ago are recalled. - The story of nurse Edith Cavell is known to almost every school and girl in the English and French speaking world. In the grey dawn of an Oct- tober morning in 1915 this kindly woman was taken from her prison cell to face a German firing squad Her "crime" bad been that although she was living in enemy -occupied country, she remained' loyal to her own people and concealed a number of British soldiers who were being pursued by the German "gestapo" of that day. There are many nurse Gavel's in the present conflict who will draw courage and inspiration from the example set by one of their number who put the interest of her country before her own personal saf- ety although site must have known full well the price which German ruthlessness would exact for her pat- riotism. - Mount Edith Cavell is one of the most remarkable peaks in the Can- adian Rockies It occupies an al- most isolated• position and is clearly visible from points 20 miles distant. The peak rises to a height of over 11,000 feet and is perpetually hooded with a white mantle of snow. Appro- priately, too, the side of this magni- ficient monolith is hung with gleam- ing white glacier which gives the impression of a great white angel with outstreched wings keeping pea- ceful vigil over the .valley below. This symbolic figure on the mountain memorial has been 'named "Angel Glacier" and was visited by the hing and Queen clueing their visit. to Can- ada in 1939. Mount Edith Cavell has many moods and to know it one insist see it at all hours of the day and under different weather conditions. On grey days it appearance may suggest to many a sorrowing mood but on sunny days its snowy cap and sparkl- ing raiment gleams with celestial pur- ity against the clear blue sky. In the moonlight it is indescribably beaut- iful suggestng a peace and tranquil- lity of spirit that recall the last words of Edith Cavell just before her ex- ecution "There must be no bitterness nor hatred towards anyone," Mount Edith Cavell lies approxim- ately 12% miles south of the Town of Jasper in Alberta and is accessible by a first-class motor road. This year it ie. receiving an even increas- ing number of visitors including many from various parts of the United States. ANSWERS CRITICISM IN PORT ALBERT NEWSPAPER R, M. Smith, deputy minister of highways, said Friday that paving the Blue Water road between Goder- ieh and Port Albert would mean a capital expenditure, and the govern- ment "is trying to keep, capital ex- penditures down," He was comment. ing on an editorial in the official newspaper of No. 51 Navigation School, 1t.A.F., at Port Albert, which' blamed the condition of the highway for injury to two of the camp's per- sonnel, Mr. Smith admitted several com- plaints had reached his department about the road.

THE $TERLINC TRUSTS CORPORATION 172 SAY 3T. 10R05410 SAVING THE GAS On Saturday of last week the Aut- omotive Transport Association of Ontario issued a statement in which it urged the closing of service stat- ions on Sundays. Such a move might seem a little drastic to the average car operator in Ontario. Up to the present time we have had no inkling of a gasoline shortage in this Province, dr the other Provinces in Canada, As a matter of fact we, in this Province, have never experienced a shortage of anything. We do not know what the rationing of food or clothes or fuel of any kind, not to mention gas, means, or what a ration- ing card looks like. And while we pray that we may never be forced into a closer acquain- tance with these things, that is no guarantee that in the months or the years to come, we may not have to change our mode of life and deny ourselves even as the people in Britain are asked to deny themselves, and are cheerfully and heroically comply- ing with that request. As for gasoline, we as a people, have heretofore, limited our use of it only by- the limit of our cash to spend on it or by our limit of credit to secure it. The gas has always been there and we have never spared it, although there is more than a possi- bility that physically, mentally, mor- ally and financially we would have been a better people today if we had. But now if occasion has arisen which demands one gasless day in the week, we do not know of 'a better choice that could be made than that of Sunday. Nine -tenths of the gaso- line that is ueed on that day is used exclusively for pleasure, which we could dispense with, or turn it .into other channels. It would not hurt us a bit to walk instead of ride, or better still, to con- fine us to our homes or their im- mediate vicinity. In fact, it would do us a whole lot of good to go back to the old time Sunday that our fore- fathers observed and profited so iin- easurably by. ,. OVERCOME BY GAS, MAN IS FOUND DEAD IN WELL Overcome by gas, the source of which is undetermined, William Klein. stiver was found read Friday in an old well in the Plumpp planning mill; at Dashwood. He had been repair- ing a joint in a pipeline. Maurice Plumpp, son of the owner, was also overcome when he attemp- ted to effect a rescue, but medical attention revived him. Lorne Klienstiver of Bowmanville is a son and Mrs. Norman Scott of Bowmanville is a daughter of the dead man. CUT COARSE FOR THE PIPE CUT FINE FOR CIGARETTES =SNAPSHOT GUL CAMERAS BY LAKE OR OCEAN t\it Enlarged from portion of negative taken with a folding camera giving postcard size pictures. - Exposure 'A/100 second at f.11 on fast film. COMES the time every year when many of us make for the lake or seashore for cool breezes, swim- ming, sailing, motorboating, fish- ing, and the many other pleasures that go with a sojourn by the water. Any one can enjoy this fun with- out a camera, but verily to go and return without having made a pic- ture -story of your visit seems as useless as trying to write a book about it with water for ink. When you have finished, your memory may retain some of it for a time, but eventually you remember little else than the fact that you went there. Years later you will say, "Yes, I had a good time that summer," but what did you do, whom were you with, what did you see? Bet a mil- lion that with nothing in your snap- shot album to show for it, you will remember scarcely anything of the details of that good time, and re- gretfully wish you could. Another reason for taking your camera to the lake or seashore is that where water is, with its bright reflections, you have exceptional chances for snaking fine pictures, Usually by the lake or seashore, even on cloudy days you have more light to work with than inland. The extra light gives you opportunity to "stop down" (use a smaller lens op- ening) and thereby obtain sharp, clear-cut details. Also there is no better place for interesting action pictures than a summer resort. Except for the, beach itself and the hotels, cottages and wharves, everything seems to be in motion. Of course, if you want. close-ups of fast action you should be equipped with a fast camera, but don't forget that splendid work with many water scenes is done with an inexpensive fixed focus camera. If it is rapid motion such as an ap- proaching motorboat, shoot from: an angle at a distance of 75 to 100 feet and usually you get it without blur. Then have an enlargement made when you get home. 333 John van Guilder,
