Still on they struggled wearily— All night they toiled in vain! Profits and Loss in Human • Life A coloured preacher' in Kentucky was delivering a lecture with the title, "I Am Worth: a Million," and he went on to say: "This` grin is worth $100,000. ' This leg is worth another hundred thousand. My clear wife is worth a million." Then a bright idea struck him. Pointing to a man in the audience he asked, "Brother, what is your wife .worth to you?" Now this man was, what in the south is called a "sour puss"' and his wife sitting beside him look- ed as if she had been weaned on WIT pickle. The couple had just had a row before • tbey came to the meeting and the trouble wasn't yet over. The preacher repeated his question, "Brother what is your wife worth." The Than arose slowly "Make me an offer," he said. • This provokes the query, "What is the value in, dollars and cents of human life." A new born baby is worth $0,020. A man of 18 years is worth, $28,000. It costs $10,000 to rear a baby to the age of 18 years and the sum total of Canadian man- hood and womenhoad has a monetary value of about 140 billions as com- pared with a material resource value for the entire country of something like 25 to 28 billions. Professor Nicholson in 1891 esti- mated that the sum total of human life of the United Kingdom was five times as valuable as that of the mat- erial resources of the country. Simil- ar estimates have been made for the United States ancl other countries each of which show a remarkable agreement of opinion as to the re- spective values of the two great re- sources of every cauntry. Estimates ou the human side have been rendered relatively simple ,be - celiac the great insurance companies have made 11 their business to deal with such matters. Estimates of the value of a country's ordinary re- sources are based on the expert find- ings of governments. In each case the estimates err, if anything, on the conservative side. How are the first values of human life estimated? The value of a baby is based on the sum, wliich, if invested at 31 per cent, would be 'necessaryy for the bringing up of a baby to the age of 18 years and to produce the net in- come of a man in 'the working per- iod of his life. This sum would, of course, vary hi different stations of Iife. In order to secure a conserva- tive estimate an average child might be considered as belonging to a fam- ily whose income is $2,500. The cost of rearing a child in such a family to the age of self-support, including all the usual items of food, clothing, shelter, education, etc., is $7,238. Including the interest on cap- ital and making due allowance for the cost of those that do not survive to the age! of 18, the amount is increased to a little more than $10,- 000. In this sum no' allowance is made for the cost of a Another's care, no small item it is true, but one which is omitted so that the estimate shall be within the limits rather than over what, would be a conservative All night they toiled in vain! sum. With eager zeal had they set sail, This $10,000 may be called the They cast their nets with watchful capital• invested in the child's •bring - care, ing' up: All capital is expected' to Till lope gave place unto despair; bring returns. Unfortunately this Then labors 'were, of no avail- happy result does not always fallow. All night they toiled in vain! In the case of the child the invest- ment has been made and the ques- tion is: Will it pay? It may be confidently stated that no other: worldly investment will pay so well, Front an economic standpoint the rearing of children is very profitable, not so much for tale family perhaps, as for the community. The vast majority of childrenwho attain: the age of maturity contribute more to' the wealth of a country than they spend. The capital value of the 18 year old of the $2,500income class has, at that age, a present worth in future earnings of $41,000 .ancl a present worth of future spendings of $13,000. Thus Itis net present worth of future earnings is $28,000. From the foregoing figures it ap- pears that the state should concern itself' with the important task of tak- ing care _ of the child population of the country since no material re- source of any. kind 'approaches in value that of. the human 'belpgs who live 'in it.—By John W. S. 'McCul- lough, : M.D.,D,P.R. All night they toiled in vain! When nights forever shall be o'er, When earth's dark shadows flee away Before the dawn of endless day, We see Thee on that other shore— Shall we have toiled in. vain! Shall we with empty nets Appear to meet our risen Lord? What joy for us then in the throng? What part for us in victor's song? Oh, the dark .sadness of that word! In vain! We toiled in vain! Far Thy word can the wanderer win, ' Thy ltearti'nhtg word of wondrous grace. For Thy word can the wandered wilt, Thy powercancleanse from every sin, Thou canst redeem a fallen. race, By Thy great love alone! Our trust is all in Thee!' Thy matchless power must prevail! Our humbled hearts would now az- ' claim, The praise of Tity glorious Name! Thy love Can never, never fail— We shall not toil in vain! —The war Cry. THE HUMAN PLAN We are all blind ,until we .see Nothing is worth the making If it does not make the man. Why build these cities glorious If man unbuilded goes? We build the world in vain Unless the builder also grows! --Edwin Markham. A FREAK EGG A freak egg laid on the farm of Mr, acid Mrs: Herman Powe, of Centralia, was; brought into the Times -Advocate Tuesday: The ;egg measured 81/2 inches lengthwise and f,1/ inches around, the centre. '.Cite egg bad been. cooked and when open- ed a smaller egg with hard shell and complete in every way was found in the centre. The egg was laid by a six and a half months old New Hantpshire Red pullet. Exeter Times - Advocate. Abiding, abiding 0 hoar wondrous sweet! Abiding, abiding At the Saviour's feet. One, of the meanings of 'abide' ac- cording to the 'O ford dictionary is "continue with, or in" and it is that meaning with which :we will deal in our talk today. In a recent Sunday service two hymns were sung. One of the lines of the first selection was . "Ran Not Before Iiim" and the other hymn was composed of the immortal lines of Henry Francis Lyte "Abide With Me". What a lesson these two thoughts should play in our lives.! How prone we are even after we have accepted Jesus to run before Hint.: We want His protection, but our desire is to go just a step or two ahead' of Him and so plan our MI lives. All the time He has asked us not to run before Him, but to abide with Him. Isn't that a wonder- ful invitation? We are always pleas- ed when a friend asks us to spend a weekend with her, or to spend our vacation with her. I•t is not often any one asks us to live with them indefinitely, and then it is usually on a financial basis, but Jesus asks us to abide with Him through the end- less ages of Eternity, and there is no charge for it, just to accept the gift of salvation. , We may go on day after day living in our own way and refusing to ac- cept liis offer, but we all know of instances where at the last a great fear comes into our being. We then realize that we, like the penitent thief, are going into the unlimited unknown and we have no prospect of spending. Eternity with our Sav- iour. The agony of it all is -appar- ently terrible. According tie statis- tics there are very few .death -bed re pentances, but there are many who have spent their lives in Earthly pleasure, who have made no attempt to abide with Christ, and who as the last few hours of life are facing them' have an overwhelming fear of what is before them. If they only knew what a wonderful assurance it is to abide with Him, they would put off the acceptance of His gracious offer no longer( Matt. 25:41 says "There is a place called Hell, prepared for the devil and his angels." The Bible is true. No amount of modernism can get away from that. As sure as there is a God; as sure as there is a Heaven; and as sure as there is a Bible, there is a Hell, and as sure as we disre- gard Christ's plea and offer we must accept the invitation of the devil and in the . end receive' his scornful con- tempt. What would the'future hold for us if death claimed us today? Jesus offers us, not a salvation of force, but a drawing power of Love. It is not God's will that we should live apart from Him, but it is His will that we should stay beside Him and abide with IIim. This implies love and everything that goes with it. We are free to make our choice. If we will not accept Him then we alone must take the consequences, and in the end live apart from Him severe as the - judgement may seem: If we will not accept Min and work with 'Him here :then we would not enjoy Heaven with IIim. Do. Iet us taker Him into our lives before' it is too late. Holman Hunt, in' his lecture "The Shadow of the Cross" exemplifies this. He represents Jesus standing at the bench in the ,carpenter shop. He becomes weary, bending' over his work and raises Himself stretching. out His arms, The sunlight coming in casts the shallow ofthe cross be- hind Hing. All those whoare cover- ed by that shadow will 'spend Eternal life with Him. Won't you be one? "When.I sinvey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pone: contempt or, all my pride. Forbid It Lord that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm the most I sacrifice 'them .to His blood. See from His head, His :hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flaw mingled down, Did e'er such love and sorrow meet 01 thorns compose so rich •• a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were -a, present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life , nip all."

Whorl cold weather comes healthy appetites automatically seem to re- quire warm foods. Why not satisfy this natural desire by serving and eating cheese? Cheese may, of course, be used as it is purchased, but in this form it does not provide the pleasing sense of warmth to- the taste, although its high fat content makes it an excel- lent oeat producer in the body. This valuable dairy product, however, changes from a cold to a hot food when combined with other foods such as eggs, milk and cereals, to pro- duce a tempting cheese souffle or something similar, The wise homemaker will depend upon savoury, appetizing cheese dishes to solve the luncheon or sup- per problem many- times .during- the comink months of cold weather, and will constantly use such recipes as the following which have been sel- ected from Dominion Department of Agriculture publication 586, "Cheese for Better Meals."
