THE FAITHFUL FEW
-When the meeting's called to order,
and you look around the room,
You're sure to see some faces that
from out the shadow's loom;
They are always at the•meeting, and
they stay until it's through,
"The ones that I would mention are
'The Always Faithful Few.
They fill the many offices, and are
always on the spot,
No matter what the weather, though
it may be very hot;
It may be cold or rainy, but they
are tried and true—
' The ones you. can rely on are
The *Always Faithful Few.
There are lots of worthy members
who corse when in the mood,
When everyithingjs convenient they
can .do a little good;
They're factor in the meeting, and
are necessary, too—
But the ones who never fail us are
The Always Faithful Few.
If it were not for these faithfuls,
whose shoulders at the wheel'
Keep the institution moving, with-
out a halt or keel;
What would be the fate of meetings,
where so much to do?
' They surely would be failures, but for
' The Always Faithful Few:
USE YOUR TALENTS!
Some thoughtless folks, who cannot
preach like Paul,
And lack the power and strength
that David had,
Oft fold their hands, assume a look
that's sad,
.And hide the talents God has given
all.
.:Because they cannot be the oak tree
tall
That buffets storms and tempest
howling mad,
They meet a strange untimely' fate
that's bad,
-Content to stand disgraced, before
their fall.
You may receive and hold but talent
one,
Against the five you see in other
men,
Or some, perhaps, with gifts as
high as ten,
But don't forget to show thyself a
worthy sore,
By doing well the task thou hest be-
gun.
Who makes the most of muscle,
brain, or pen,
And hideth talents not in glade- 9r
fen;
Will heal', at last, the Master's
words,
"Well Done." —H. B.

STATION Y -O -U
Does your life broadcast a story
That is fine and brave and true,
Or send out on the ether
Some sobbing, wailing blue?
Is your life a noble sermon,
Being broadcast far and wide,
Or just a pack of theories
That you've never really tried? •
Does it bring to men a message
That will teach them to be strong?
Are you tseekingt, as you broadcast,
To help the world along?
Then check up on your program,
Make it strong and clear and true,
Be careful what you broadcast
Over Station Y -O -U.
AFTER SCHOOL
When home from school's long day
he drifts
And to my gaze his fresh face lifts,
I read the tale of all the joys
And sorrows that are every boy's
knew them once. I feel them, yet,
hrough later living's deeper fret.
II But still I hold him ' elose, and say,
"Son, tell me all about your day."
He tells rue, — whimpering o'er each
grief, •
And laughing next in swift relief:
The big, bad boy who hid his hat;
The girl who slipped from where she
sat,
To meet with teacher's well-earned
frown;
And how the littliest bey fell down!
I list -not that I do not know.
But only ;;that I love him so.
When, at life's troublous school day's
close,
Each world -worn pupil homeward
goes -
Straight to the Father's eyes we'll
raise.
Our own, prepared for blame or
praise .
He'll slip, an arm around, and say:
"Child, tell nue all about your day."
Not that Our Father does not know,
!But only that he loves us so.

It is common at this season of the
year to see a car or truck stalled on
the side of the road. One such hap=
pening took place recently, and it was
indeed interesting to watch: the pro-
cedure of the driver in his effort to
get the truck back on the main, part
of the road. -
In the first place the truck was
on ground from which it could' not
proceed under its own power, 'and in
the second 'place there was no co-
operation between one of the wheels
and the engine.
The finding of a commission which
was appointed to investigate the
bursting of St. Francis Dam, near
Los Angeles, Cal., some time ago re-
ported that the dam collapsed on ac-
count of faulty foundation. At that
time more than 45 people last their
lives. -
A great many -car accidents on the
road today are caused by some
trouble which .swerves , the machine
from the main part of the road to
the shoulders -
The main part may be compared
to our Christian life and .-there are
so many things which drag us to the
broadened way where lies temptation
and sin. -
Before sleep overtakes us to night
let us just think over the past day
and try to see the places where we
have slipped off the main way. Per-
haps we have spent our time . in
worldly pleasures, time which would
have been much more profitably
spent in the Lord's work. It may be
that we could have used that period
of the day to bring some one to
Hirsh -
Sometimes we think our pleasures
ars in keeping with His wishes. If
we take the matter to Him in prayer
He will guide us, half there is even
any doubt in our minds. as to our
right course of action regarding
pleasure, if there is a question o£
right and wrong let us choose what
we know, to be the right.
Wthout the power of the engine
these men tried to push the truck
in question out of the soft snow, but
with no result Some one else can-
not finally make our decisions be-
tween right and wrong for us. We
have got to do it ourselves. Friends
may ,advise and plead with us, but
it is for us to settle the matter with
our Saviour. -
In looking back . over Biblical his-
tory we read that God created Adam
and Eve and placed them in a beauti-
ful garden unmarred, by sin, but sin
entered in and when God came back
to see then they had strayed from
the way of a godly life and had
done that which had brought sin into
the world. God forgave thein and
they came back on to the highway.
but the return of God in their lives
was marred.
Although the men piled snow under
the left rear wheel, which would not
co-operate and would do nothing but
spin around and although they got
into the cab and tried to start the
engine, there was aro result. In the
same . way we think we can give up
some of our worldly amusements and
thus get back on the highway. It is
a failure. We have not gone far
enough: Then we try being more
kindly towards our.. neighbors, just
as the men tried a bag under - the
wheel, but we have not gone far en-
ough yet, The engine would run but
the truck would not start. Finally:
they , placed cinders and more bags
under. the wheel, started the engine
and away the truck went. So in our
lives, we must give ourselves wholly
over to Christ_ be truly His.' We.
cannot retrain in contact with the
world and bo in His company. We
must co-operate with Him. He will
come all the way to meet us. As the
engine always did its part by start-
ing and trying to pull Co God will
always keep His promises and will
be willing to accept us.
A. fable runs thus -A stork one
day was busily hunting for slugs
and snails. He was very much im-
preseed with ' the beauty of a MOD,,
which dropped down ' beside him.
Where' did you come foam,? the ;stork
asked. The 'swan ' replied "From
Heaven far above the mountains. It
is a beautiful place to live, far be-
yond this". "Do they have snails
there" asked the stork. "No, indeed,"
answered the swan, "Oh, well, then,.
I don't care to go there. I am looking
for snails." -
How true to life that is. Many .of
us are so busy. looking,' for and en-
joying earthly pleasures that we have
Ino time to things of the beautiful et-
ernal home which we are not prepar-
ing for. We .just simply leave God
out of our lives. We seem to find
enough in the world to give us pleas-
ure, and we forget that those pleas.

PHARMACY OFFERS
STREAMLINED VERSION -
OF BOILED. TEA
Boiled Tea For Burns 'And Scalds
Modern pharmacy researches some-
times streamline ancient reinedies,
Dean R. 0. Hurst- of the Ontario
College of Pharmacy said in ani ad
dress at Parkdale Collegiate in Tor-
onto this week, pointing out that the
ancient Chinese used an infusion of
tea leaves for burns and scalds. Boil-
ing six teaspoons of tea in six cups
of water for ten minutes makes an
infusion containing from 16% to 27%
of tannin. -
"This infusion used with a coin -
press of six layers of gauze is one
of the most efflcacoous4and 'soothing
remedies for minor burns and scalds,"
he said.
He added that in case of severe
burns or scalds the first thing to do
is call a physician. But for many
minor domestic accidents of this kind
a more modern form of the old rem-
edy is available. •
"Nowadays you can buy tannic acid
(a powder) cheaply. One ounce of
this added to a pint of water which
has been boiled for ten minutes is
convenient for many applications,
Still more 'convenient is tannic acid
jelly or ointment.. These can be'
bought from. any pharmacist and are
reconunended because they help as-
sure cleaner healing of the burn or
scald", the dean explained.
"It is unwise to store the tannic
acid solution because the water in
it may deteriorate. But jelly or
ointment applications of tannic acid
assure reasonable freedom from in-
fection, especially if healing is re-
tarded because of difficulty in keel-
ing the burned part bandaged. In
any case, if the burn is at all severe
it should be cared for by a physician.
Tannic acid jelly is handy to have
on hand for minor domestic burns and
scalds, particularly where there are
children in the house", he said.
In conclusion, Dean Hurst said that
tannic acid jelly is just one of hund-
reds of ancient, tried and proved
remedies which, modern pharmacy has
made available in convenient- form
and at Prices within reach of every-
one.
IT'S IN YOUR FACE
You clon't have to tell how you live
each day
You don't have to say if you work
or -play,
A tried, true barometer serves in the
place, - -
However you live, it will show in
your face.
The false, the deceit that you bear
in your. heart
Will not stay inside where it first
got a start,
For sinew and blood are a thin veil
of lace,
What you wear in your heart, you
wear in your face.
If your life` is unselfish, if for others
you live - -
For not what you get, but how much
you can give,
If you live close to. God in his in-
finite grace
You don't have to tell it, it, shows
in your face.
"Every thought and word and deed,
of every human being,` is followed by
its inevitable consequence:. for the one
we are responsible; with the other we
have nothing to do." --Gail Hainiltmi,

"Apple Annie" says there is ' no
truth in the report she is engaged
to wed "King Apple". She is merely
stepping out hand in hand with "The
King" in an endeavor to make the
,people of Ontario "apple conscious."
Annie believes Ontario people are
eating too many foreign -grown fruits.
She says Ontario apples are both a
`,food and refreshment."
"If children were allowed free ac-
cess to apples, there wouldn't be the
need of so many medicine bottles on
the bathroom shelf" she vigorously
declares.
"Apple Annie" has .prepared a list
of recipes she would like you to use.
Here they are.
Won't you try them?
eros end here. Without Christ,' what
comes after our departure from this
world, we are distinctly told in. the
Bible is no pleasure. It is Eternal
torture. Are we going to choose that
in preference to a life of ever -lasting
joy with Him? The decision is left
absolutely with each one of us.
Rev. F. B. Meyer says "If we have
broken one of - God's commandments
or have been a disobedient .child, we
can never be filled with the power of
God, neither can we claim His bless-
ings, until we go back to the place
where' we have made the mistake and
make it right: with God.
"Have you come to the Red. Seaplace
in your life, -
Where, inspite of all you can da,
There is na way out, there is no way
back,
There is no- other way but through?
Then wait on the Lord with a ,trust
serene
Till the night of your life is gone,.
He will send the wind. He will heap
the flood,
When He says to your soul 'Go on"'.

A FAREWELL
My fairest child, I have no song to
give you;
No lark could pipe to skies so dull
and gray;
Yet, ere we part, one lesson I can
leave you
For every day.
Be good, sweet maid, and let who
will be clever;
Do noble things, not dream them
all day long;
And so make life, death, and that
vast forever
One grand, sweet song.
—Charles Kingsley,
PICTURES OF PEOPLE
VA.
Soft, diffused lighting helpsobtain better likenesses ih informal por-
traits --portrait attachment permits close-ups.
N TAKING informal portraits of
a friend, or member' of the fam-
ily, it is most iniportant to obtain
a good likeness.
Usually, a better likeness is ob-
tained if the light is soft and dif-
fused. For informal portraits in-
doors, such lighting is easy to ob-
tain. Simply use two or throe ama-
teur photo bulbs of the "flood" type,
plaeing them so that light is cast
on the subject from both sides.
These bulbs: are inside -frosted,
and this accounts for the softness
of their light. They tit ordinary light
sockets, and eau be used conveni-
ently in bridge lamps. By moving
the lamps to different positions, one
can bring out the shape of the sub-
ject's features so that the picture
shows him at: his best.
Amateur photo bulbs yield a light'
so brilliant that snapshots can be
taken, indoors ai,night with an in-
expensive box camera. Two to three
bulbs should be used, in cardboard
"lampshade -type" reflectors,, and
the camera should be loaded with ,
'one of the new extra -fast films,
The position of the subject is also
important, if a pleasing likeness is
to be obtained. Thus, a person with -
prominent oars should be in
semi -profile, rather than facing the
camera squarely. With other sub-
jects, a slight tilt of the head, up or
down, niay • be desirable.. Try sev-
eral shots of a person, allowing him
to vary his pose each time. Compare
the pictures, and the finportance of
this will be -evident.
No expensive equipment is need-
ed
eeded for informal portraits,'but a por-
trait attachment is' helpful if 'you
use a fixed -focus camera, or one that
Poetises no closer than five or six
feet. A "diffusion" type of portrait
attachment can be used for charm-
ing soft -outline close-ups, - particu-
larly of children and women. Por-
trait snapshots of the family should
be taken often, for 'we all change, '-
and new pictures keep us up to date,
