Grant, Goderich, Ont, Christ, who rules the world in love, will'' care for us and when we read, that sentence "God will take care of me" we feel that it is meant for each one of us, individually. A young roan who was much troub- led over world conditions in general, and who felt that he was having to work a little harder than his strength would allow him to, picked out a rose from a bowl of flowers saying `The God who can make a rose like that can take care of me." How ab- solutely true that .is and yet how prone we are to worry about things: and in that way say to the world, "The Lord says He will care for me, but I do not believe it." He also says, "Arse -not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your "Father" Matt. 10:29. "He may be able to look after a sparrow but IIe cannot care for rue." We do not say these things in actual words, but we act in such a way that we give that impression to the world. To those who are looking to us as Christians, and to our shame they are finding that weare talking one thing and acting another. God will take care of us. It may not be just in the way we would want Him to at the time, but nevertheless it will be in a way which is. best for THE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company Head Office, Seaforth, Ont.

Losses inspected by the director 1 ANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS us. , There are things over which we should be anxious. If we do not care enough for God to accept Him and give Him the control of our lives, if we wish to choose his adversary as our guide then we must take the con- sequences and we should be anxious We cannot expect God to care for us under those circumstances for we are told that, in order to be .saved we Must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. How foolish we are to think we can serve the devil and then expect the Lord to care for us. It would be just as sensible to expect to work for one firm and look to another comp- any to pay us. We lay aside our money and insert it in an anxiety and the company with which we invest pays us a dividend, not another firm into whose treasury we have not paid anything. We are sensible enough about earthly things but when it comes to the future we just take it for granted that God will care for us even if we .serve His adversary here on earth. The time will surely come when we will wish that we had chos- en Christ as our leader and had tried our. best to follow Him. Then besides caring for our wel- fare we should be much concerned about the spiritual welfare of others. We have been put in the world with a mission. It is the will of Christ that we should all be followers' of Ilis and it is our own choosing whether we are or not. Those who accept Christ im- mediately become missionaries for Him. Our influence, which should be (halation, goes out to others and we are responsible for bringing others to Him. What our feelings will be when we stand before Him with our work unfinished only we, ourselves, will know. Why is it we will not speak about Ifim to others? It is that we are ashamed of Hine? He was not ashamed of us when He came clown from Heaven in order that He might live a life of suffering and die the ter- rible death on the cross. God will take care of us through- out every crisis in our lives. During the past years here are few people who have not met with some crisis. People who could look ahead and say "Well now, I can retire I have money enough laid by to keep me comfor- tably for the remainder of my days," today have practically nothing. Take for instance two people in eireums- tances such as that. One has lived without Christ and one has put his confidence in Him, who will be His comfort, What a difference 111 the outlook of the two. One will say "I have no future, there is nothing ahead of me but the workhouse, but when I go there I can take Christ with me. He has promised to be with me wher- ever I go." What a difference! Then there is the crisis ,of illness and one day the angel of death knocks at our door. We refuse to let him in, but his knocking is persistent and at last we have to admit him, and he takes frons us one who is very dear. to us. If we have Guist in our heart we can truly say "It is God's will and He has done what is the very best for us andfor the one who has gone." There will be lonely days ahead but Tam not alone. His presence will be with me continually. At the time we may feel that we cannot live On, but God can and will care for us. Time is a great healer. Each day the trail of parting is a little less severe. What a blessing that is! In the face of that dare we say that God will not care for us? God will care for us as we go about >ur daily toil, We go through our days work, come home at night and read the account of the accident dur- ing the day. We must realize that without God anyone of those trials Haight hive come to us. If so what state of preparedness would we have been found in, There are just two answers' to that question, Either we are ready to meet Him or we are not. Only we ourselves can answer that question. Will we not today choose Jesus Christ, who will care for us TIME TABLE 'Trains will arrive at and depart from Clinton as follows: Buffalo and Goderich Div.

Kirkwood % MAINLY PF,'RSONAL any doubts in his mind as to his duty. He had submitted himself for medical examination, and had been assured that he was fit. His 18th birthday imminent, and was but waiting its arrival before volunteering. I bade him defer his enlistment: until mid- summer—until after his matriculat- ion examination. "It would' be a post- ponement of .just two', months," I said to him. "Better take this ex amination, so that when you return after the war, you can immediatey enter the university," This he did, but during the two months or so of deferred action, his will to enlist had been tampered with: one of his school mates who had enlisted spoke discour- aging words, saying that his exper- ience had been a disillusionment, that that young men would be greatly needed after the war, and that he would be serving Canada usefully by not enlisting. I need not now say what I said to this young man to persuade his to enlist,' He really need not need much persuasion. He said, "I wish that you'd salt to Tom (his classmate friend) what you have said to me, for his position is as is mine." So Tom came along that same day, and the following day both these lads, age 18, enlisted in the 0 O'T C. . When December came, the young man whom I had- talked with volunteered for the Royal Naval Air Service—as it was then known, and his friend joined the engineers. Both sailed for Britain in December 1917. Both came back to Canada in 1919, to attend Toronto University. In 1920 the young man who had entered the air service went to Eng - and on a visit, and again the follow- ing year. While attending a student conference 'on the continent, he met a man from an American college at Smyrna, and this casual meeting re- sulted two years later in the young man's going to this college in Smy- rna, to join its teaching staff. While in the Near East he had gathered much material relating to the Turk- ish conquest of Asia Minor, with the idea of making it into a book. When he returned to England he was in- vited by a very distinguished author and an authority on the Near East to collaborate with him in writing a book on Turkey for inclusion in "The New World Series." The resulting book led to this young man's being invited to join the teaching staff of Columbia University. While at Col- umbia he took an examination for ad- misison to Canada's diplomatic ser- vice, in which service he has remain- ed ever since, with appointments to the Canadian legation in Wahington, Tokyo and The Hague. When Ger- many entered. Holland, this young man was sent to Greenland, as con- sul, and this is his office at the pres- ent time. Twice has he circled t1ae northern part'of our planet, via Sib- eria, the Pacific and Canada. He has travelled much in Europe. He visit- ed Formosa for a fortnight, Korea for a month, and travelled 6000 miles in China, He is the author of several books, one a scholarly work on a particular period in Japan's history. • A week ago there came to see me a young man aged 27 years, unmar- ried, with no kin dependent on him. He wanted my counsel in regard to enlistment. This young man has been coming to see me always about a job for several years. About three months • ago his, problem was: should he take up salaried work with a new organization about to be formed, or stick to his job as seller of accident. insurance, on a commission basis? He had done well as a seller of in surance, but there villa something pleasant in the idea of a guaranteed weekly salary. 1 advised him to stick to his insurance job, and not un- til last week did I know how he had decided. He stuck to his insurance job. But he owned to a good deal of un- easiness of mind over the question, shall I enlist? His conscience was troubling him. Then, too, he had a genuine conviction that his duty was to enlist. Even so, he wanted an out- sider's opinion. This is why he came to me. Unhesitatingly I' said to him that he ought to enlist—this when I learned that he had none dependent on him, that he is single, that he is sound physically. He inclines to the air service. His hesitation was: he would be' giving up a job, and might not get another so good a job after the war. If you were in England, what would you do? I asked him, and he said promptly that he would have no choice—that he would have to go into some division of military service. I said to him that the fact that he was resident in Canada didn't matter— that his clear duty was to enlist. I pointed out to him that he would not be giving up much in the way of money by enlisting ---that if he en- listed, he would hare his living free;. that the $10 or so per week which he might be making now over and above his living costs was what he would have to surrender, not the whole amount that he might be making; that if the war lasted another two years, all that he might be "cut" in terms of money would be from $1000 to $1500; that this was a negligible sum to match against his content of mind—the contentment acompanying the knowledge that he had done the right thing in enlisting; 'and against the value of the experience and ed- ucation to be obtained from going overseas; that always, in the post- war years he would have his own re- spect of all others from having gone overseas; that if he did stay at his job, and were permitted to do so, he would carry about a guilty feeling— that he would hare forfeited his own self-respect; that he would be shut out from many things of value and desire by his never having gone over- seas; that when he came back after the war his present employers would welcome him, and that jobs would be easier to find than they would be if he were compelled to say that he had not enlisted.; that his going to the war would derelope him in many good ways; that he need never fear un- employment, for good salesmen are always wanted and are always hard to find. I said to him other things of the same general sort, and when he left me, it was with the resolve that he would enlist. 0i; course, should conscription come in Canada, or if he were summoned by draft, and in this way be taken away from his present job, then he might have no choice in regard to what service he would enter, but today he has the privilege of choosing the particular branch of service of largest appeal to him, and if he joined the air ser- vice, he would have the rank of of - officer. My object in telling about this young man's visit to me is: some of my readers—young ,nen—may be de- bating this same question with then. selves, and if so, they may be glad to have the point of veiw of an out- sider. In this connection, I would like to recall the visit to me of a young man in July 1917, who came to see me in regard to what he should do about enlisting. Previously he had talked over the matter with me, but not with constantly? "Yes, leave it with Him, The lillies all do And they grow They grow in the rain, And they grow in the dew— Yes, they grow, They grow in the darkness All hid in the night They gnaw in the sunshine Revealed by the light Still they grow, Yes, Leave it with Him 'Tis more dear to His heart, • You will know Than the lillies that bloom Or the flowers that start 'Neath the snow: If you seek it in prayer, You can leave it with Him For you, are His care You, you know." "PEG" I tell this story of this young man because his career is an unusual one, and had its roots in his having enlist- ed for service in the first World War before the days of conscription. Had this young man been free to decide matters for himself and had there been no conscription to take away his freedom of choice; and had he re- amined in Canada while Britain and her Dominions were engaged in fate- ful war with Germany, the certain thing is that his life after the war would have been a poorer life in res- pect of its experiences and achieve. ments. I feel very certain that this young insurance agent will, in the long years of his life after the present war end, be enormously glad that he "joined up," and that he will look back on his temporary hesitation over the matter of what should be his de- cision—stay at home or enlist—with amusement, and perhaps with a meas- ure of shame. ria IMPORTANT NOTICE to Men Liable for Military Training FOR Public Safety, by Proclamation, dated June 27th, 1941 (under authority of The National Resources Mobilization Act 1940 and The War Measures Act), The Governor in Council has now made liable for military training for the defence of Canada — .-all male British subjects resident in, Canada at any time since September 1st, 1939, who, on July 15th, 1940, were unmarried, or childless widowers, and who on July 1st, 1940, had reached the ages of Twenty-one years Twenty-three years Twenty-two years Twenty-four years "and also men who attained or will attain -the age of twenty-one years on or after the first day of Jttly,1940, and who were on the fifteenth day of July (1940), unmarried or widowers without child or children."

It wasn't long before I was flying around without much difficulty—and feeling pretty big about it, too. And all the time I marvelled, at how much like actual flying it really felt. Rough Weather Ahead "Now we are flying on a bumpy day," the instructor told me, as he reached down and pulled another lev- er somewhere out of sight. The change was inunediate. The plane be- came hard to control, Memories of CUT COARSE FOR THE PiPE CUT FINE FOR CIGARETTES actual rides on bumpy days came back instruments and a chart in front of vividly. How long my lesson lasted I could only guess: I was too interested to watch the time. It might have 'been 20 or 30 minutes. Whatever it was I was sorry that I wouldn't be having another one every day. Certain spots on the scenery around the wall are marked with letters, The student may be asked to keep the trainer on that mark and fly toward it in the bumpy air. Scales which hang down from all four corners of the machine show quite defintely how successful the lesson has been. If the students lacks coordination or has other definite faults, his instructors know it before he ver goes up in a real plane. The advanced Link trainers' have much more complicated systems of in- dicating how well the student is doing. The instructor sits at a table, with hien. The instruments show how fast the plane is supposed to be going, the altitude and whether it is climb- ing or descending. A. three -wheeled indicator moves over a chart of ruled paper—"the crab," I think they call it, but it reminded me of a ouija board. Perhaps you remember the ouija. Under the pressure of the tips of the fingers, a heart -shaped board supported on three legs, moved over a table and spelling out words. In the trainer, one leg has a small, rubber - tired wheel which draws .red lines on the paper to show how well the pilot is doing and where he is flying.
