All be has to go by is his control box, but haw carefully he watches it. He flies in the dark, yet is confident that he is being correctly guided. Every day we fly in the dark, we know not what the next moment will ' bring forth, yet we who are Christians and have faith in Him realize that "I do not know the way, even for today, but how well do I know my guide." Our • lives may be compared to a sea voyage, some days are calm and the sailing fine, but that is hot al- ways, grief, distress, worry and anx- iety will conte in.

Toronto district leads in the col-, lection of income taxation but of course that is a contest in which the .that we can enter into His suffering door. —Robert A. MacKenzie. participants do not enter willingly. [through our suffering. The great Our control system says that we must rebuke sin. How prone we are to see sin, know it is sin, and ye to say one word against it. Jesus always rebuked sin, we are his fol- lowers and should do the sante. We secm to be afraid that some one will say we are Christians. Should it not be a high honor to be thought a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus So many of usare ashamed to be known as one of His. When we fail to rebuke sin we are siding with those who sin, and we are standing on treacherous ground. We should also have control over our thoughts. Evil thoughts will come into our minds, Mit we have no right to harbor them. There is only one way of keeping our thoughts pure and that is by prayer. God will give us the powers to change our minds from unruly thoughts to those which are pure and holy, All we have to do is to ask Hint. Many of us have good reasons• to have our 'tempers controlled/ The fact that we say and do things in a hasty manner is that we:have not given ourselves wholly to God. We allow the tempter to wedge himself into our lives, and when he once finds an opening no matter how small, he will continue to push himself in until he has complete control of us. Satan's chief arrow is to keep Christ's 1ollow- ors away froth praying. He knows very well how prayer is helpful and if he can keep us from cotmnuircating with God in prayer he will do so. That is one of the ways Its has of ,tempting us. Let us put him, behind us and just continue to pray. Jesus is always ready to listen to us and, to give us His help. As control in the power of direct- ing and giving stability to a pilot, so our conscience, by, prayer, will give stability to our lives. When the control board points to joy, how happy we are, but when it points to suffering we are so un- willing to accept its direction. Suffer- ing was one of the chief elements in the life of Jesus, and how willing• we' should be to suffer for Him, if He - wants us to show His life through our suffering, It is only possible t Health ANAESTHETICS There is a striking similarity be- tween the accounts` of the discovery of. -vaccination, the circulation of the blood ;and of anaesthesia. All three were at, first received with inc'red= ulity, w brief period of awe and then rapid acceptance. The respective dis- coverers, Jenner; Harvey, and Morton suffered financially and the -two, lat- ter experienced much personal dis- tress. In their own day none had the dkthey Served, The ted Statescan dreat�Britain •togetheriin- itiated the use of anaesthetics; but the recent advances in this field are divided between, Penedo., the T, nited States and Germane, The distkifery altd rise of arae§-' thetics took lilid8d With almost explo- sive i'airidityr Iii i§44 Wells produced surgical linaestliesid with nitrous ox- ide; in 1846 Morton, a dentist of Bost- on, did the same with ether, and in 1847, Sir James Y.

By the die @€ Septet;;ber 1847,chloroffrinl and ether tiyet€ til •Wide pread use and both nitrous &* de slid ethyl aldol de were known to' 1 h ,nos"sible aitacs thetics. Throughofet the year 1847 the Lancet (London) miiir'itt':tained: .special column describing' "operatigna without pain." The afore -mentioned nanfae cite generally credited with the diseba'ery of one of the greatest boons t6 humanity, Crawford W. Long, a rural doctor in Georgia who in 1842, had used ether in operation, had bad luck. He failed to publish his results until 1852 and thus missed the opportunity of fame. Many advances have been made in anaesthesia since their initial discov- ery, but it is generally agreed that ether, nitrous oxide and chloroform are together more important than all the other known agents. An anaes- thetist could manage better if con- fined to these agents than he could if deprived of these three and allowed his choice of all others. Up to 1923, there was extraordin- arily little change in the drugs used to drown the pain of operation. Since that date cyclopropane and ethlyene have been introduced, intravenous anaesthesia .with sodium exipan has gained great popularity and 'a wide variety of measures to induce uncon- sciousness Inas been investigated. Cyclopropane may be called a Canad- ian invention. Within the last 50 years or so, local anaesthesia has made great strides and the use of spinal anaesthesia has become an established practice. PROVERBS OF CONDUCT . The new year is a tine for taking stock. Down through the years have been handed proverbs for the govern- ment of conduct. They are as applic- able this year as in the past. Do not carry too much sail. ' • Never rake up old grievances. Pardon others often; thyself never. Don't yoke the plow before the oxen . If you wish a thing done, go; if not, send. Not many things imperfectly, but a few well Never neglect an opportunity for improvement. Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. Tell no one what you would have known only; ,to yourself, , You will conquer more surely by prudence .than by passion. See. that in avoiding cinders you step on btfr•ning coal. Never ask another to do what you are afraid to do yourself. trouble with us today is that the are so overwhelmed with looking around for pleasure and such things that we have no time to watch the control board. We may think we are honest in what we are doing. Possibly we are even so busy in church work that we cannot see Christ directing us. Sometimes as we look back over our clays we find that we have not seen the one thing, needful If we watch His control board it is just amazing what He can do with our little insignificant lives. "Leave me not, for :I ant lonely, And the way,I cannot, see; Lest I wander into. danger, Keep me Saviour near to Thee.- Leave me not for darkness gathers Round about the path ]` tread; Leave me not but let my footsteps Ever by Thy hand be led. Leave ire not for sin is near me; With temptation life is fraught; Then through all life's toilsome journey, 0 my Saviour, leave nit not!" "PEG 3 COOKING PAGE 7, CARE OF CHILDREN Tested i, Recipes USE MORE BUTTER One of the most practical resolu- tions that Canadian homemakers niay make is to promise themselves that they will buy and use more butter. From a consumer standpoint butter is one of the best values: on the mar- ket at the present time. To apprec- iate the , full return received when batter is purchased, it is only neces- sary to bring to minda few undis- puted facts about this superior fat.

For internal comfort, he swallows Itonie-made pellets of red pepper rubbed into bread crumbs. TILE HOME THE SOURCE OF HABIT wr In these days en so many peopl place responsibility for character on other things than the home, it is in- teresting to read the opinion of a British 1 Columbia psychiatrist on "Personality, Development of the Pre - School Child." Writing in the Decem- ber issue 'of the Canadian Nurse, Dr. Arthur-. M.. ,, Gee - of the Provincial Mental Hospital, Essomdale, says that personality is derived from five basic elements . — physique, intelligence, einotion, instinct and habit. The first four are inherited, the fifth acquired, As to habit, he says: "We are born without habits and we spend the greater part of our lives acquiring habits, good -or bad, The bob 'spend§ Us. first ye** lgarnin$r )labdts of nursing, 141ltlts o hygiehe, waikin and talking, Slowly, the personality begins to unfold as the child begin to feel his security and realizes h is an individual within the Tamil;* cotistellatloit, With increasing ciao lienal inati1iit l tie is gradnaliy Wean- ed aWily OM Itis 9oimlete physidal and emotional dependenee upon his mother. The day comes when Ile must step out froth his home and its security to enter a new world at school,' where he is thrown more or less on his own resources. Here he Iear•ils new habit patterns. The found- ation that he has received during' his pre-sehooi life will to a great extent forni the 'pattern to which his later life will- corifoini. "The problem of personality form- ation and character building is not a matter of specific teaching but of offering children at each level. of their development appropriate opportunity for learning, through direct partic- ipation and experience. Parents can- not hope to live one way and instruct their children in another. Children, in their personality formation, will reflect their home and their parents in spite of every effort to teach them better. "As soon as a child is born, the bonne itself begins creating in him a spiritual climate, teaching him basic reactions to life which will later govern his conduct." THE CALENDAR I have two missions: one of utility, one of sentiment. I ant the symbol of time, eombin- ing the past, the present and the fu- ture. All the world looks at me, talks about ire, and reulates its ,business and social life by roe.

I ask for display spaceinyour place of business or your home.

Riddell of Auburn picked Pan cies dui of his flower garde* in lilaoni—Blytli Standard: All the stock of an Alberta store was stolen over the weekend so there is at least one merchant in Canada who is not saying that goods are moving slowly.

Every town should have a camera club. TN EVERY town'where there are several camera fans, there should be a local camera club; Such clubs aro of value 'to anyone who takes pictures and wants to improve his picture -taking. The camera club brings snap shooters together. It enables tiheni to exchange ideas, and swap experi- ences. They can work together on problems, hear useful discassions,; and organize special events such as picture parties, hikes or excursions. Contact with other camera fans helps each member, for there Is al- ways something new' to be learned, In the club, one member may know a great deal about taking snap- shots at night. He can advise others on lighting, flits and exposure for night snapshots. Another member may own a miniature camera, and specialize in "off -guard" snaps or human -interest piottu•s of children at play. Still another may know something aboat sports pictures, or flower pictures. Thus, each member can contribute some knowledge which will help all the others make better snapshots. So popular and practical are cant. era clubs that, in the past few years,' several thousand have organized on this continent alone. Some clubs have hundheds of members; others, only four or live. But no matter how small, the club is of value. In many instances, the camera club is part of a larger group, such as a Boy Scout troop or woman's club. Often, the club is able to have regular meeting rooms, and members "chip in" to fit out a darkroom with butter equip- ment than each could afford by him - Organization of the club is quite simple. Camera fans simply get to- gether, arrange for regular meet- ings, and plan a series of programs. Literature and suggestions for pro- gram material' are obtained from va- tions sources—often from manufac- turers of cameras and dltn, who have special departments to supply such material without charge for Club use. Picture exhibitions or "criti- cism 'nights" are usually planned; and whenever possible, tours, hikes, 4' or other special picture Jaunts are 4 arranged. Under the stimulus oft? these activities, it is small wonder., that pictures improve, and the snap -i shooter gets more fun and benefit! from his camera hobby! 213 John van Guilder.
