Jesus plainly declares, "ALL -a woman of faith, perceiving that. slie Ye shall be offended because of m "has freely received, freely gives her this night" (verse 27); and He adds t his word 'the words of the prophe Zechariah (13:7). Yet Peter believe neither his Lord nor the Scriptures i which he thought he had eternal lif (see John 5;39 ). In the face of Scrip ture, and in the face of Jesus, Pete boasts of a faith, and a fidelity, whic he does not possess, (see Eph. 2:8) Not Ieast in importance to the under standing of this last passage is th final word, sweeping in its eondent nation of all the disciples, "But Pete spake the more vehemently, if I shout die with Thee, I will not deny thee i any wise. Likewise also said the all". (verse 31). But at His death i was Jesus' word and not the word. o Peter and the disciples which prove to be true: ALL WERE OFFENDED AT HIM.

Since God has done all for the woman, she does "what she can" (verse 8)e --and very precious'is her gift, for in God's sight it is a looking forward to the saeri- fical death (verse 8), and it is by that death that she and her gift. are -:accounted righteous before God (verse -6'. (1) The woman's gift: Since Jesus is Himself the rightful owner of all things—and certainly of the alabaster box of ointment—it is most certainly true that any thing, however precious, which is returned to Him is not wast- eed. Yet this doesnot justify extrav- -agant expenditure of moneys on vain -show and outward display in the er- °'ection of church edifices etc.,etc., for to give the expensive ointment to Jes- us while here on earth is one thing— but after he has ascended to the Fath- • er it is quite another (see verse 7) It was meet that the Lord of creation should receive from a woman of faith a precious gift while' He walked this • earth in the humiliation of a servant..

This word "others" we understand is the motto of that great body of workers the Salvation Army]"Others" was the Christmas message sent out by their late founder and leader, General William Booth. In memory of their departed who leassed; an in the disastrous aeeident of the Empress of Ireland; the Salvation Army have er- ected a monument which is very sym- bolic of their teaching. At the base of the stone the wild waves are dash- ing up, but out of that turmoil rises a cross surmounted by a crown. It is only as we think c4 others that we can keep before us the:'Cross and the crown. Jesus made `others" His life work. Even on the cross, when one would have thought pain would have compelled Him to think of Him- self alone, he spent His last earthly moments bringing a malefactor to see the truth. As he looked around at the' mob His words were "Father, forgive them, for they .know not what they do." The Boy Scouts and Girl Guides have a very fine objective. Each day they make it part of their work to help others. The number of kind deeds to be done is unlimited. We do not need to belong to either of these very fine organizations to follow out their idea. Each one of us can make it a point to think of something to do for others. These things may not al- ways be agreeable, but the more we do right thing's which are not to our liking, the more we will feel that we are walking closer to our Master. Let us make it a rule each day to look for something we can do for others. At times we have nothing to give but a word of encouragement, but even that given in the name of the Master, may be the turning point in some one else's life. Many years ago there was a book published "Herbert Lee, or how a child may do good". It told of a little boy who wanted to work for Isis Mater. He sought out the aged and the sick, and tried. in some way to bring an added ray of happiness into their lives. These things im- pressed on a child's mind are never forgotten. May we forget ourselves entirely and go out and work for Him who said, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil, the law of Christeu- OTHERS Let "others" be the motto Assist Inc, dear Lord, always To -day and every day, To live the "Jesus" way.

Relief Fund which this week is being launched throughout Canada. The appeal will provide direct relief to refugees in food, clothing and shelter; medical and surgical care for wounded and needy; provide places of refuge for thousands of women and children within mission compounds; and ad- vance loans to farmers to be repaid after next thereat. Money raised through the Relief fund will be sent to the mission treas- urer in North China for distribution, according to the need in North China, South China and West China. In one United Church mission corn - pound over a thousand Chinese wo- men -and girls sought refuge when their homes wereinvaded, states a message received at headquarters. In Lin Chang county whole villages of people are starving because of the floods, then troops and bandits. Whole congregations representing 50 years of patient toil and sacrifice are on the point of being almost completely wiped out through. starvation. They are pleading for hells. HOME CANNING IN TIN CANS The tin can as a container for home canned fruits, vegetables, meats and fish is becoming increasingly popular every year and the reason for this is that canning in tin cans is quicker, easier and cheaper than canning in glass, states R. W. Arengo-Jones, Horticultural Division Central experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. Successful canning in tin cans re- quires a reliable can closing machine and pressure sterilizer for vegetables, meats and fish. Both these pieces of equipment can be purchased quite cheaply and they will last for many years if properly cared for. The pressure sterilizer may be . used for cooking every day meals as for can- ning and for this reason wil be found very useful. e • Both the can sealer and the steril- izer are sold in a wide range of sizes to suit every need. In country sec- tions where a lot of canning may be done, it is a good plan for several families 'to purchase the equipment cooperatively, selecting' t he larger :models, and then, by helping each other during the canning season a remarkable large quantity of food- stuffs may be preserved for, winter use, The only difference between Ban- ning in, tin cans and canning in glass is that the tin cans must be sealed while the contents are hat. Thiel is necessary in order to exclude air from the can as it is only in the eresence of air that the acids in fruits and vegetables can attack the metal of the eau. Furthermore, since the filled cans are cooked following seal- ing, hot filling twill reduce the inter- nal pressure developed by the ster- ilizing treatment. Plain tin cans are used fore most vegetables and for all but the colour- ed fruits, Red coloured fruits fade in plain cans, so cans finishedon the inside with a protective enamel are used. Certain kinds of vegetables, such as Lima beans and corn. will darken in plain cans and a special can finish, known as C. Enamel is pro- vided for them. Using present day equipment and reliable canning instructiolns, home canners may have as much confidence in their own products as they have in commercially canned frujits and veg. etebles.

My Washerwoman, -too, had lost her little mite with mine, And she was singing as she hung the clothes upon 'the • line; "How can you be so gay," I asked; "Your loss, don't you regret?" " Yes, ma'am, but what's the use to fret? "God's bank ain't busted yet." I felt my burden lighter grow, her faith I seemed to share; In prayer I went to God's great throne and ]aid my troubles there. The sun burst from behind the clouds, in golden splendor set; I thanked God' for her simple words: "God's bank ain't busted yet." And now I draw rich dividends, more than ray hand can hold, Of faith and love and hope and trust and peace of, mind untold, I thank the Giver of it all, but still I can't forget, My washerwoman's simple words: "God's bank ain'tbusted yet" Oh, weary one upon life's road, when everything seems drear, And losses loom on every hand, and skies seem not to clear; Throw back your shoulders, lift your head, and cease to chafe and fret, Your dividends will be declared: "God's bank ain't busted yet." vas!

But mortals are always complaining, Bach one thinks his own a sad lot; And forgetting the good things about him, Goes mourning for those he has not Instead of the star-spangled heavens, We look on the dust at our feet; We drain otit the cup that is bitter, Forgetting the one that is sweet. We mourn o'er the thorn in the flower, Forgetting its odor and bloom; We pass by a garden of. blossoms, To weep o'er the dust of the tomb; There 'are blessings unnumbered about us; Like the leaves of the forest they grow; And the fault is our own—pat the Giver's, That we have not an.
