"Ohre who will encourage us in our Work' .'s True friendship is, above 'jealousy. Two close and real.friendle of long standing were separated re- cently,by the: passing of one of there to the Great Beyond. The' departed one had had many honors conferred on her 'while the other one had work- ed cheerily and steadily on. without a great deal of recognition from the outside .world. ,N'o fresh honor ever came to the one who had gone but her friend was just ,els .much pleased a- bout it as if the honor had been con, (erred on herself. That is a mark of true friendship. $. "A true friend will not agree with us . in .everything, .but will talk things over with us without disagree,• rent" Too often we find two people who have been friends for many years quarelling over politics; some major question of the day; or even church affairs. They thought they were real friends but their friendship was not true. It would not stand the strain of a difference of opinion. What e tragedy, the happiness of two lives spoiled over some trivial matter! Even if your opinion is not the same as that of some one else, let it go at that. Change the subject and stop the argument before it goes too far. Even while the discussion is going on we can pray that God will keep us from saying something which would, be better left unsaid. If in our lives there has been a disagreement such as that let us be the one who will go and bring about a reconeilliation. We will have so much more happiness if we are the one to do so, we will find that we have done what Jesus Christ would want us to do. Even if we are the loser let u's lose in a gracious manner. Follow the words of the Master, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," If we would only follow that how much more friendship would, mean to us. 4. "Someone to whom r can tell my troubles and they will not be repeated to anyone." What a oontemptable thing it is to lead one to expect that we will keep her confidence and then go and, repeat what she has told us. The fact that we may live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man "should keep us above any de- grading action such as that. 5. "One who will be faithful to us during our times of trial," a beautiful scripture example 'of that is the story of Ruth who wished to 'go back to Judah with her mother-itt-law Nao- mi." Her words are so tender and thoughtful as she said, "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to rearm from following after thee; for whether thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." 6. "One who thinks kindly of us." Does it ever occur to us that we can train ourselves to think more kindly of everyone? We meet people, not often it is true, whose whole life is made up of thinking unkind thoughts CHURCH DI•RECTORY THE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. E.

One who is a Christian and who Priced by those who just collect, lives such a life that we too want to follow' the Christ of her life. "A true 4irend is one who will offer to pray for you in any eireunnstance of your life and who will carry you and your problems to the Throne of Grace, There is something radically wrong with a friendship which will not offer• to you the love of our saviour. Never crowd Christ out to make ronin for any other friendship. Let us choose our friends among the people of God and there will be a link formed which can never be broken. Live Christ and try to influence all with whore we come in contact to accept Him and to work in cooperation with Hhn. The friendship of Christ is the on- ly true friendship.. That friendship covers every, quality which we would. like to see in anyone with whom we associate. Christ will never turn a deaf ear to our plea; there is no want in our lives but Ire is near to help us. We may neglect Him for the Major part of our lives, but if we turn to Hint even in our last moments He will accept us. .We would; net want to do that, Tobe without friends in this world must be very trying but how much more, so it would be to stand before our judge in the final day with no friend beside us. There in a .beautiful thought in the words, "7 Dove you not for what you are bet for what 1 am when Lam with you:" Will we not .make up Jour minds today to accept. Jesus as our Friend? Such a friendship can nev- er be equalled,. "Fill Thou my life, 0 Lord my. God, In every part with praise, That my whole being may proclaim Thy being and Thy ways.

This appeal is not made on behalf of the Legion or of its members, but on behalf of all Ex -Service men who are in need'. The collection and ad- ministration of the Poppy Fund has been entrusted to the Canadian Leg- ion. This, however, dose not mean that the Poppy Fund is part of the funds of the Legion. It is kept en- tirely separate and is not even treat- ed as a part of the relief fund. It is rather considered as a trust fund which the Legion administers for the benefit of all ex -Service men. In granting relief, members of the Leg- ion receive no preference but ail ex -1 Service men stand on an equal foot- ing, Ajny man who has ee2wed and who is in need, Lias a claim on this fund. The Poppies and Wreaths which you will be asked to buy are made by an Organization of Disabled Ex -service men. These men are ab- solutely incapable of earning a living in any other way, and but for this industry would be a charge on the public funds. If Poppy Day did noth- ing but keep. these men self-suppor- ting and self -repeating citizens, it would still be worth while. 1 The organization of Poppy Day, the sales of wreaths and poppies, the handling of monies collected', the ins vestigation and relief of all appli- cants, are done by voluntary workers. No man or women connected in any way with this receives one cent as wages, salary, bonus, commission or allowance for expenses. All monies collected' are placed in a special ac- count which is controlled by a Board of Trustees of this Branch. Every expenditure made is approved and ev- ery account checked by the Board. Every applicant for relief is investi- gated carefully but sympathetically. Relief may take the form of food, clothing, fuel, rent or medical assis- tance. It is practically never issued in cash. 1 Should any of our friends desire further information on any point in connection with Poppy Fund activi- ties, our Branch Secretary will be glad to supply it. The Canadian Log- in is grateful for the hearty support they have always received from the general public to make the lot of the distressed ex -Service man easier, and it is our hope that there will be no partial or permanent blackout for them.

The paper lenives are ,from. six inches to two feet long and quanti- ties of these souvenirs have alread(v tern shipped to the Dominions and nem. expression which found place in sev- eral volumes of poetry which she published and which were interna- tionally, known and recognized for their simplicity and imaginative thought.
