'The waves rose high, 'The sea -gulls circle as they cry, . And thunder threatens tit the sky With rain -drenched clouds. 4 rocket shot across the sky, Another followed it close by. "'Ship in distress," was heard the cry, And to the shore the people went, Young and old, grey-haired and bent. 'The thunder roared, The lightning blazed, !The sea went like a thing gone crazed. No ship could live in'that angry sea, ' •'Oh, God in Heaven!" went up the cry, ' "Have mercy on those about to die." 'The sea calmed 'down, its fury spent, 'The moon canna out with its silver sheen, The sea -gulls circled back to their nests, ' •And the little waves all tossed and stressed .Sank to rest on the ocean's breast, —Maude Bowman Hobbs.

ROUSEI{EEPEn'S HYMN When crisp November days attune My heart to glad thanksgiving I thank the Lord at harvest moon Por home and simple living. For white chrysanthemums in frieze With red Nandina berries, For birds that thinkmyChina trees Are fall confectioneries. For jars of spicy pickled peers Add crocks of clover honey, A lily pool that nightly cares For star -spilled silver money. For pattering, steps upon my floor, And lips 'that laugh and tinkle, Por one who reads us fairy lore And lets his own eyee twinkle. But most of all I thank the Lord For love that snakes a tether 'To bind our hearts with plaited cord And keep us all together. -Hazel Harper Harris, "Christian Science Monitor." 'Tis sunset on the prairie and I'in richer than 'a queen; My being wrapped in wonder at the ever-changing scene, .. Tread softly as you pass me, for my heart has knelt in prayer, My thirsty eyes are drinking from the source of rapture there. The, darkly -arrowed wild geese, those wanderers in flight, Cruise across and slowly, slowly fade from out our mortal. sight,a Through vesper's crimson veil their honking round me casts a spell, As streaming out, in chorus, they voice Summer's last farewell, It has filled my soul, this vintage; now, as 1 quaff the flask, To -morrow ne'er shall find- me slug- gard with a servile :task, If Day who wings her crafty fleet- ness lies to live anew, Eternal moan, God's chosen vessel, lights a beacon too. - ' —Jeanette Lelland: FROM ALL, TOWNS I must go away from these streets With their wry, dark turning Where the dawn is a dirty garbage - man And night is a painted drab; I must go away from these streets With their black smoke burning To the gods of Kick and Bite and Snarl And the hooked -hand god of Grab. I must go away from these eyes 'With their hard,, bright staring, And the lips that leer in an acid twist Or droop in a furtive whine; I must go away from these souls Who are long past caring 4 P If ever they cared in their wizened �hearts— For the life which must be mine. I must go away to those hills Where the clean wind travels And the firm rock and the straight tree Are rest to the weary mind; I must' go away to that stream Where the bright spray revels--.- !And thank my God that no ashfalls From the fury left behind. —Gilean Douglas. WINTER I would travel the world across to see A small bird etched in a 'leafless tree— The mottled wing of a partridge lifting - Over the fields where the snows are drifting The feet of the fox in his coat of rust .:.. . Leave sculptured (flowers, on the crystal dust. The bobcat stirs, and the bare boughs feel Her gliding body and taloned heel; While safe from sight, down a frozen furrow, The brook lies deep.

One clay last week, a small sized mongrel dog was playing on the roacl with a brown terrier: . A car passed leaving in its wake the broken body of the little blackand white mongrel. Whether the driver of the car knew that he hit anything or not, he knows, but at any rate he did not stop, Immdiately the brown terrier turn- ed on his helpless mate, and a largely one-sided fight ensued, until the ter- rier was called off by his owner. The little mongrel, in some way, propelled his poor little injured body to the side walk, where a hound came and stood guard over him, apparent- lydefying any further harm to come to him. , Some nearby ..residents came out, spread a coat on the ground, placed the injured canine - on it - and tried to keep him from moving, while awaiting the arrival of a,representa- tive of the Humane Society for which some one had phoned. It . was not long before the car of that agency drew up. The driver in a very kindly manner picked up the little sufferer, stroked his head and tenderly placed him in the car and took hiin away presumably to put an end, in a humane way, to his suffer- ing. We, as humans, so often trifle with temptation by allowing ourselves to play on the world's highway. We have been warned to stay off it, pleaded with :to forsake the world and follow Christ; but we have steadfastly re- fused to do it. Some day, we are told in the Scriptures, we will be hit by the car of sin and as it drives on without stopping to see what harm it has done we will hear the sneering, mocking laugh of the devil whose tool we have been. He has tried to hinder us front coming to - Jesus in prayer for well he knows his work is very much hampered when prayer becomes a part of our lives. The devil is afraid when one of his agents begins to pray. A great deal of our time is spent in playing in the company of the devil in things in which Christ can have no part. Let us just examine our days and see what we are doing with our mom- ents and hours. How prone we are' as Christians to keep a person down who has fallen. Christ is willing to accept even the vilest sinner so what right have we to judge ,them? People may have committed crimes, and they may seem to be continually on the down- ward path, but there is always ,some good in them, and that spark brought to the light and encouraged inay be the means of that one's salvation. We have had the advantage of enjoying the .fellow ship of Christ. Let us be the messenger who will bear the good tidings_ to seineone else. We are all sinners and there isonly one way of salvation. No matter what sin we see in others, that sin- might have been ours, but for the saving grace of Jesus Christ. .The way of salva- tion is made very easy for us if we will just accept the gift. Speaking of finding good in\others, the following story sheds a hght on it.. It was believed for many years that •the portrait of Dante, which had been painted on the walls of Bergello, in Florence had been utterly destroy- ed. One day an artist went to the place where it was reputed it had been painted', The ronin was used as a storeroom and the walls were covered with dust and dirt. The artist' carefully removed the coating of whitewash. The lines of the picture began to show -and at -last the great work appeared in all its beauty. Can- not we be the. one who will develop beauty in sortie one else? Jesus is stronger than 'Satan or sin And Satan to Jesus must bow,. Therefore we 'triumph without ' and within, For. Jesus is saving us now. Some one has said that Mary is remembered not by having the; ala- baster box of ointment but for break- ing it' and using it. The act pleased Jesus for it was a proofof love. We may have a kindly feeling towards the fallen., but it will avail nothing if we do notuse it. Jesus will deal with the wrong -doers. Ile has not asked is to de that. If - we ` come to IIim, He Will: take us into His loving arms and will elevate es to a place of peaceful rest. "Speak Thou Thy loving word to me, That I Thy messenger may be, Health . )BEWARE THE DOG Recently in King's County, Cali- fornia, e. man noticed that one of his cows was having trouble in. swallow- ing. To aid the cow he placed his hand in the animal's mouth and re- ceived abrasions on his knuckles. The cowdied shortly -after and a post- mortem examination revealed that she had rabies, that is. hydrophobia, Treatment was instituted for the. man. In a few days he had dimin- ished reflexes, stiff neck a n d wase dull and lethargic. Notwithstanding the fact that he had been given at least 12 doses of anti -rabic vaccine, the man died and 'post-mortem show- ed that he too, had died of rabies. Such a history is most unusual. After infection with the poison of rabies the incubation period usually varies from a month to five or six months according to the part of the body which has received the infec- tion. If about the face the, infection shows itself very early. Then it Is incurable. The important thing about the con - blot sol of rabies is that the pexlibn bittenis promptly vaccinated against the . infection. If the dog or other animal responsible for the bite can be secured, he should be kept under close observation for ten days. If at the end of that time the animal is alive and well the victim ' of the bite need have no fear of rabies. He has not been infected. If the dog or other animal dies in the per- iod mentioned, the brain. should Ir examined for negri bodies. These oval or round bodies, discovered in 1903 by Negri, an Italian physician, are seen in the protoplasm and some- times in the processes of nerve cells of animals dead of hydrophobia; their presence is considered proof of rabies. 'The preventive treatment of rabies consists of daily injection for 21 days of anti -rabic vaccine. This treat- ment if promptly administered is al- most always successful. Thousands of lives have been saved by its use. UNDER THE GREEN ROOF -TREE In a recent competition in Britain to discover "the perfect weekend cottage," the design that won ,first one learns, serves to keep the roof one larns, serves to keep the roof at an even temperature. In the country it has, of course, the ad- vantage of being in perfect harmony with its surroundings; but perhaps equally happy results might follow its introduction to the town. How pleasant if it wereused on gables ,there, instead of only oc- casionally .on flat roof gardens, and so were to make the present wilder- ness of slates and tiles blossom into grassy asps that would be visable to the people in the streets, and rival that .wonder of the ancient' world, the hanging gardens of 'Babylon: How pleasant, too, . is the idea of the outdoor fireplace, which, besides prolonging enjoyment of the garden into chillier days, would produce something of the atmosphere of a camp. With a few more of such innova- tions. added :to it, the city in the near future -might well combine so many pastoral amenities with those peculiar to itself, that the most re- luctant town -dweller, though he cease not his babble of green fields, might find a great measure of con- tentment under the green roof -tree.

MAKING CANADA A Setter Place in Which to Live and Work A Series of, Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problems Affecting the Future Welfare of Canada Specially Written for Canadian' Weekly Newspapers ,Association LETTER NUMBER 28 - Dear Mr. Editor; While I consider it a great honor to be requested on behalf of the people "down by the sea" to express their views on 'How to make Canada a better place in which to Live and Work," I feel that my outlook may be somewhat limited and sectional I have lived all mylife in the east, and naturally feel its limitations because of its industrial setbacks in the past .twenty-five years. I have seen great and thriving industries wrecked, whole towns and villages turned into "ghost towns" by consolidations and mergers; where the plants have been closed down and thousands of men thrown out of em- ployment. - ' Naturally my thoughts turn t o some form of social security; some way of preventing the wrecking of such industries and the consequent misery of working men ; and their families who have been. deprived - of a livelihood and the loss of the means of security dy the vanishing of real estate values. Our people are essentially laboring people, and some means should be' provided to furnish work for titeni. Large and thriving industries in other sections of our great Domin- ion, which have been responsible for, port business through onr great sea ports, and, we feel that such indust.+ ries which were built up here could be employed along these lines, industrial mergers should plan to `keeps our small industries function. Mg. I. We are favorably situated for ex- - Ourt' ci irons for the most part, are thoroughly loyal to our British con- nections and to our. 'Dominion bus • when they are deprived of a meant of livelihood b y influences beyond their control their thoughts naturally turn to the "isms" of radicals. Therefore I feel thea if Canada la to be happy and centented our great industrial .corporations should not centralize all industry in •central Can- ada, but should bear in mind the needs of the east and west. I feel that we shout.' cultivate the finer feelings of brotherly love. Ilt has been said that corporations have no soul. Whilethis statement is not. true in many cases, it is unfortunat- ely apparent in some.! We should, through our papers and • by example in .our daily lives foster brotherly love, kindlier feelings toe wards the under dog, anti a helping hand to the unfortunate. We are living in diffieult times. The great majority of us feel so- sially insecure. Our pressing need today 'seems to be some means to prevent this, some form or soda/ security. Yours very truly, H.
