CITY ROOF -TAPS By Esther Griffin "The red roofs and the silver roofs, The green roofs and the brown, Combine to make a panoply, Above the chequered town; The slanting ,roofs where shadows lie; The flat roofs, where the sun Fa11s like a golden spear at morn, A prayer, when day is done. And jutting eaves are full of song, And chimneys rise like spires, Against the blueness of the sky, Or veiled in sunset fires, The high roof's and the sloping roofs, The dun roofs, and the gray Axe like a tumbled stack of cards, Held by a;giant at play.

THE CALL 0 sons of Canada! Fair land at sight of which brave hearts have thrilled, Shall you, like fragile lilies in a blast, Cause hopes to wither ere theyare fulfilled - Or to the trust reposed in you stand fast? Wake, sons of Canada! Your hardy forebears braved the rag- ing main, And through privations which are now unknown Turned virgin bush to fields of wav- ing grain— Will you not reap where they in faith have sown? Rouse, sons of Canada! Let nob adversity spirits quail, Whose brow should bear the crown of their .success; You dare not let Greed's tyrant, hosts prevail And turn their labor's fruit to wil- derness. She calls, your Canada! Proud sons of dauntless fathers, get in line; Unite to overcome Ptrogression's foe; I I God is in Heaven; the sun and moon doth shine; The tide that ebbed shall of a sur- ety flow.

My selfish and "querulous answer ran "Oh no!" said the angel piercing me through "Just give till the Master •stops giv- ing to you". In whatever district we live there are always some people whose name will go down in the history of the community, not as a monied person, but as a sympathetic neighbor. In case of sickness they are always ready to go and sit up, with the pat- ient, when bereavement comes into a home they are among the first to ef- fer to do the many little things neces- sary at that time; when children are hurt they are not too busy to stop and comfort them; when some one is too feeble to attend to their own work they may be seen sharing the burden of the family; when a concert in aid of a good cause is put on they are there to help move chairs, truck equipment or do whatever is neces- sary. They are always (unless de- tained by some reason which they can give to their Master) found in their pew on Sunday. From childhood to our older years we have pleasant memories of such people. They have not much of this world's good to share,' but they give of themselves, and others see, through their acts, the love of God. These folks appreciate to the full, God's everyday gifts of sunshine, rain, fresh air, and front their fellow citi- zens they enjoy the ,smile, the kindly look and the pleasant word: The above mentioned things are material. We are thankful if we also are able to give these little attentions but as well we must give of our monitary substance lin order that the work of the Giver of all good gifts may be advanced. It not only a duty to give, but. it is a privilege to 'return at least a part of what God has given to us. We are required by the law of God to return to Him at least one tenth of our substance. We are taking from the Lord, when we do not give that just as much as if, we went into a store and took from the till of the keeper. What we give after one tenth is our free will offering to the Lord. Many of us have little to offer, but the Lord knows our circumstances and will judge us accordingly. Let us give cheerfully, give thank- fully, give systematically. "Give as you would to the Master, If you met his searching look, Give as you would of His substance If His hand your offering took." Teach the children from their earl- iest understanding years not to allow the offering plate of the Lord to pass thein without placing something on it even if it is a very small con- tribution. It is a habit which they never forget. When one becomes a Christian then giving to Christ's cause should be a part of one's life. " We cannot • be Christians and not have the desire to give to His work, Many Stave very little to give but their prayers, but that is a truly and worthy giving. The following poem if earefully read and memorized will, bring a great deal of .comfort to your minds: Health GROWING PAINS For generations painful extremities in children, often' called growing pains have been regarded as rbeuntatic in origin, and so treated. Lately ananalysis of the histories of 100 patients with well-developed rheumatic heart disease at the; Ly- n'ianiauiet, Health Centre, Minneapolis, revealed that•84 percent of them gave a definite history of a. major a.ttaok of rheumatic infection; either rheu- matic fever, chorea (St. Vitus' Dance) or both. A. careful study of the re- mainin! 16 percent demonstrated that in practically every instance, in spite of the fact that no .history of major attack of thematic infection was ob- tained, there was definite evidence that they were suffering, front long - continued rheumatic infection. They had such signs as low grade fever, loss of weight, definite joint pains, nosebleeds, skin rash and pallor al- though the symptoms were not severe enough to send them to bed. A follow-up of 200'other children in the same institution 'was carried out for three years. Though these child- ren complained of pain in the legs, none of them had given any evidence of rheumatic infection. The pain is present as a rule at night and .dis- appears during the day. They are otherwise in good health and none have developed rheumatic heart dis- ease. Growing pains are so adolescence that it is suggested that their com- plaint is due, not to rheumatics but to normal growth. By John W. S. McCullough, M. D., 11 P. H, QUICK FISH LOAF ,A LIFESAVER ON BUSY DAYS Memorize This Recipe And Use It Often Some days go along like clockwork, You have plenty of time for all the homemaking *tasks, and to spend on preparing dinner. But let your young- ster take a spill on his head, or come hone with a cut finger, and the time you had alloted for dinner vanishes. It's hard to snake it up, and the fam- ily hate to find dinner delayed. That's when you'll have a lot of fluster on your own part by having a magic recipe like this in the back of your Mind. (P.S. St's good for wash day, too, when those little extra things took more tithe, than you planned. Make it a regular Monday night sup- per.) Ile Giveth More Grace "He giveth more grace when the burden grows greater, I+ He ,sendeth more strength when the labours increase, To added afflictions, He addeth His mercy, To multiplied trials—His multiplied Peace, When we have exhausted our store of Endurance, When faith seems to fail, ere the day is half .done; When we conte to the end of our hoarded resources, Our Father's full givhtg'is only ,be, His lave has no limit; His grace has no measure, His„ power no boundary known unto men; For out of Ills infinite riches in Jesus, He , giveth, and giveth, and giveth again." —"PEG" The modern girl's hair looks like a mop, says a bishop.

It is a dish which epicures and every day folk alike eat with relish. From the housewife's point of view, moreover, it has the further merit that it is easily pre- pared. The little booklet, Fish and How to Cook It,' issued by the Dominion De- partment of Fisheries,gives the recipe, which calls only for a pint of oysters, a cupful of thicl, white sauce, soft bread crumbs, salt, pepperand a dash or two of lemon, juice. The method of preparation is outlined in the booklet as follows: "Place a layer of bread, crumbs in the bottom of a glass baking dish, then a layer of oysters lightly sprinkled with salt pepper and a squeee of lemon juice. Next put on a layer of white sauce, then bread crumbs, then oysters, and so on until the dish is filled, putting the bread crumbs, which have been mixed with oil and salt or melted but- ter, on the top. Bake in a hot oven ten minutes, until crumbs are brown. Serve with a spoonful of Sauce Tar- tare in a little heart lettuce leaf." Sauce Tartare is made by adding to a foundation of simple mayonnaise one tablespoonful of finely minced dill pickle, a like quantity of finely minc- ed onion, another of minced parsley, and one of minced capers. Housewives, by the way, may obain individual copies of Fish and How to Soak It by making written applica- tion to the Deputy Minister of Fish- eries, Ottawa. No charge is made for single copies of the booklet, which is obtainable both in English and French editions. COCOA AS A. BEVERAGE The demand for cacao arises prin- cipally rincipally from the trade in cocoa butter and cocoa powder which are neces- sary ingredients in the manufacture of chocolate and chocolate confec- tionery. The largest consumer of cacao is the United States, followed' in order by the United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, France and Canada as the pnineipal world im- porters. Europe first came to know cacao through, Cortez and the Aztecs of Mexico in the 16th century, but it was not until two centuries later that cocoa as a beverage became pop- ular in Europe and other parts of the old world.

At Bath, in the parish of St. Thomas, Jamaica, British West Indies, the waters of the famous spring are the hottest in the island, with a temperature at the fountain head of 126 to 128 degrees Faliaen- heit. These waters are sulphuric and are especially beneficial in gout, rheumatism, skin affeotions and fey, ers. They lose about nine degrees of heat in transit to the baths them- selves. Several Canadians have vis- ited these baths, taking "Lady" liners of the Canadian National Steamships from either Halifax or Boston during the winter and from Montreal in the summer and fall.

Watch for shadows—they yield many a novel snapshot. /S RD you looking for snapshot and the ironwork in one picture, 11 ideas? Then just load up your camera,and have a try at shadow pictures. On a sunny day outdoors, every solid object casts a shadow. If this shadow falls on a Iighttoned sur- face, such as smooth snow or con- crete, .it stands out clearly—acid there .may be a picture opportunity People doing things cast shadows that often tell a complete story. A group of winter hikers or a ski party climbing a slope may produce shadows which make a more inter- esting "story" snapshot than the group itself. Many objects cast interestingpat- terhs. of shadow. A tree near a street lamp may throw a delicate tracery of shadow on a nearby building wall. A short time exposure of this, made with the camera on a firm support—and you have an unusual picture. Old-fashioned, ornate iron fences and gateways not only produce fas- cinating shadow patterns, but are often interesting 'pictures them- selves include both the shadow shooting from a viewpoint that shows as many "repeats" of the pattern as possible, Indoors, there are many chances for shadow pictures. Use a Single photo bulbat one end of a room, and direct its light on the far wall. Let members of your family stand so that they cast grotesque shadows on this .wall Changing their dis taiice from the light, and the height of the photo bulb from the door, produces unusual effects. With this shadow arrangement, it is easy to have your subjects act out story -telling ideas. Short "time"' exposures will be required in tak- ing these pictures, because of the distance between the light and the illuminated wall. With a box oam- era, try exposures of several sec onds. Whenever you're taking pictures, watch for shadow effects, They're the making of many a snapshot, and a special "shadow hunt," with your camera loaded and ready, might ben worth your while. 219 John van Guilder
