Word h P also has ban received by e board the twill receivehe iron it one oft i on lungs, mada available by the cantii- bution of Lard Nuffield. The hospital has not had a "lung" though there were some paralysis cases during the epidemie of 1937. What a vast difference there is be- tween the saying of Jesus on the Cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do", and the words which are so' often- spoken now "I will never, never forgive them." According to the calendar year we have left, the, cross, we have gone to the borrowed tomb in which the body of Jesus was laid, and we have found that. He was not there. Ans angel guard informed us that Ile had risen from the dead. He is now seated at the right of God.. Them He is making intercession for us. Can,we ask Him to plead with God to forgive our wrong doings if we will not; forgive those with whom we corne in contact day after day? We probably have -not spoken to people for years over some trifle, the des tails of which we cannot even recall. The friendship of Jesus did not end with the cross. It arose with Him from the tomb and that friend- ship will not allow of any harboring of RI will, • • A strange part of our lives is the fact, only too true, that we bear the name of Christian. We are much taken up with church work, we oc- cupy our 'pew Sunday after Sunday, and yet we will not speak to our next door neighbor. The Lord's pray- er teaches us to ask God "to forgive us, our debts as we forgive our debt- ors." Do we even oonsider in all seriousness that if we will not for- give others wecannot expeet Christ to forgive .us? What seems to us unpardonable in others is nothing in comparison to what we are saying and doing against Christ everyday. This question is one which it is 'ab- solutely necessary for us not only to think of, but one which we must act upon, After all when we are not on friendly terms with others it does not do us any good. It is true it gives us something to talk about, but there are so many beautiful and helpful things to discuss. Why burd- en ourselves and others with ques- tioms which are just drawing out the Worst part of our natures? We quarrel with one person. We • talk about it to someone else, and we feel somewhat flat if they do not agree with ns. First thing we ]mow we have two so-called enemies, and later we conte to the stage when People would rather stay out of our company than be drawn into trouble with anyone else. There is something very sweet about childhood. The following story is true of almost any child. A. little lad was going out. His mother ask- ed with whom he was going to play. His reply was "Tommy. "Oh," said his mother, "I thought you and Tom- my quarrelled last night, and you were never going to speak again," After a little hesitation the boy re- plied, "Tommy and I are good for- getters," How much better the world ,would be to -day if we could all be "good forgetters." On being told that a certain man had died another man stated "we quarrelled fifty years ago over a very trifling matter, I always intended to go to him and make it up. I did not, count on him being taken so sud- denly. Now I will have to go into eternity with that thought on my mind." The story carries its own message. Would that we would learn. a lesson from it. Even. our own im- mediate families would see . a vast difference in us if we would just daily practice forgiveness. Good ad- vice is "If you get angry with a man or woman make up your mind what you're going to say and then don't say it" We allow our auger sometimes to go to such an . extent that we are even glad to see evil befall these with whom weare not on good terms, In the Greek -Roman world of past ages no true man was ever called upon to forgive his enemies. Cicero was perhaps the greatest of this race and one of his happiest days was when he heard that his enemy Claudius had bean 'tilled in battle.' We would not allow our ill feeling to carry tis to that extent, but weare quite will- ing to wish the reputation killed.. of those with whom we have quarrelled, and we are ready to even take part in the slaying. When we take Christ •truly into our hearts He will crowd. out every- thing : that is unworthy. It is the these e can overcame only way.w feelings of uitforgty •' cress. The for- giveness of Christ will end only when we cross the border line into Eter- nity, Weare taught to forgive until seventy times seven. So often we will not forjve once. We may not always be in: the wrong, but what does it matter ? ealth HOW IT STARTED The universal totem; of the barber, the pole painted in alternate stripes of red and white is familiar to every- ane. Does everyone . know how it started.? The history of this pole dates back from the Middle ages when the barber wastheonly surgeon. In the reign of Edward IV a char- ter of incorporation was given to the. "Fireemen of the Mystery of the Barbers of the City of London using the Mystery of the Faculty of Surg- ery.t' Thus the art of the surgeon and the trade of the barber were combined. Governors of this com- bination were om-bination"were appointed and this step may be said to have been the in- ception of what' is now the Royal College of Surgeons in England. In: the reign of Henry VIII, the barbers 'and surgeon's of London were merged into one body under the name of the "Mystery and Commonantly of the Barbers and Surgeons of Lon- don," and Holbein the celebrated ar- tist, made a painting of. the event. The charter of King Henry was confirmed by Charles 1, but in the reign of George II., the old union of the Barbers and Surgeons was dis- solved and 'henceforth the surgeons. of England were Left to struggle along as best they could, They haven't made such a badjob of it, The colours of the barber's pole re- present incidents of far away times; the red signifies blood, the white the bandage. But the barber -surgeon, if divorc- ed from his former occupation in England, survived for a long time in other lands. As late, as 1846 in the south of Spain, barber shops gener- ally had a notice that the barber did mid-wifery and surgery as well as shaving, and far more recently Sir John Simon says that "he had the honour of being shaved by a bar- ber who had Prof. Virchow's (the great German pathologist's) latest publications on the book -shelf beside his basin." HEALTIi TESTS FOR THOSE SERVING RULERS Cooks, waiters and porters on the royal train will be under close med- ical surveillance for 72 hours before they begin the Canadian tour with King George and Queen Elizabeth next month, Dominion department of national health officials announce. All food served to Their Majesties will be carefully supervised for purity and all drinking water served will be from a bottled supply of tested water. Care will be taken, the liealth effiicals said, that none of the train's personnel serving Their Majesties may transmit a common cold, a sore throat or any contagious disease or skin infection to the King or Queen. Health department officers will make careful selection of all foods to be used on the royal train and the dairy supplies such as mills, cream and butter will be of highest quality obtainable and of tested pur- ity. Even the ice cubes for cooling drinks will be scrutinized. Christ was not in the wrong and yet He forgave. A. beautiful thought is contained in the words "Forgives nese is the fragrance flowore breathe." When they are tramped upon we can only receive this frag- rance by being in partnership with God: When we don't agree with others never part in anger. If we are on unfriendly terms with anyone let us get in touch with thein by personal visit, phone or writing so that friend- ship may be renewed. May God lead us ,to overcome all personal grievances and thus be in a better position to enjoy friendship with Him, "Nothing matters but Gbct's sweet will, ' O blessed fact! how it 'keeps me 'still, And trustful 'heath Isis chast'ning ro'd! Nothing,, matters, dear heart, but God, Ills precious blood was heed for inb That !I .might walk at liberty: How can I then discouraged stay With suck a guide' upon life's way?

British Zs es and Can - oda during the Lenten' period. How- ever, with the various ways in which macaroni can be used, it is suitable at any time of the year. A few sug- gestions for menus are given below: SALMON AU GRATIN 1 package noodles 1 small can salmon 2 oz. grated cheese. 1 cup milk ' email onion, sliced Salt Throw the noodles into rapidly boil- ing water to which salt has beep ad- ded. Boil for 7 minutes, then drain. Mix salmon, onion and milk together. Add the boiled noodles and bake tam minutes before serving. For evening entertaining, substitute a can of crab meat for the salmon.

Still active and in good health, the Wendell brothers have been resi- dents and citizens of Hanover for 66 years. They were born in the village of Hohensiritz, in Meelden- burg, Germany, coming to Hanover in 1873, when there were only .a few. frame buildings. William is a voter n of the France - ?suasion War, and took part in the battles of Metz • and Sedan, and the siege of Paris, bels a member of the Second Blue Dragoons cavalry unit. After coining to Hanover both men were employed as teamsters and lateroperatedrival livery stables, Charles carried His Majesty's mail for 20 years without missing a day and was never late. William has always been a Liberal in polities and Charles a Conserva- tive, Both are members of the Bap- tist church, ' RADIOS SHRINK IN SIZE! "Bigger and better" used tc be e. popular phrase but with the radio manufacturers this year it is "small- er and, better". The :recent invention of the 1.4 volt radia tubes is revolu- tionizing the radio industry, These tubes have such a small battery drain that much smaller radia batteries can be used. The result is ,the de- velopment of small, light, portable battery sets which can be carried' anywhere and played' withoutthe aid. of electric current. Canadian radio manufacturers axe designing these portables in small, attractive form and several models are now on the market. These sets can be, carried anywhere no no wires no aerial —and need, electric current. They can be played, for example, as you walk along the street. Small new batteries have been designed to fit neatly in these sets. and despite their small size, these batteries will last for several months, CARE OF CHILDREN The Wonderland of (Floral Water Nymphs) The mere fact that the Water Lilyi Family (Nymphaeaceae) is named af- r ter the nymphs invokes romance and> mysticism, and' at once recalls those mythological, semi -divine maidens and ever youthful Spirits of Nature ! 1 who inhabit rivers and fountains. I The lotus of Egypt and the' sacred lotus of India and China are beauti-' ful water lilies. Was it not Brahma who came forth from: the centre of at lotus; and Buddha who first appeared floating on the mystic. flower? But it may be remembered that the name Lotas (Latin, Lotus) was! given by the Greeks to a number of different plants including the Jujube Tree of North Africa. It is claimed: that it was upon the fruit of this! tree that the famed Lotus-eaters Lived. According to Monier they re- ceived . Ulysses ,and his followers hospitably; but the sweetness of the fruit induced such a feeling of happy languor that they forgot. their native land and ceased to desire to return to it, their sole object being to live in delicious dreamy idleness in Lotus - land. Alas, this ideal plant will not grow in Canada! The true water lily has been for ages sacred to the people of the East, while we of the West venerate this enchanting• flower as queen of our native aquatic plants, not only because of its aesthetic properties, but also ont account of its gastronomic value. The beautiful sweet -scented White Water Lily (Castelia odorata) which grows from Nova Scotia to Manitoba has edible buds. The coats, seeds and leaves of the Yeilow Nelumbo of Ontario are eaten, as are the seeds and roots of the Large Yellow Pond 1417 (Nympitaea Advena), while the Great Yellow Pond Lily of British Columbia (Nytnphaea polysephala) has seeds which may be prepared in much the same way as popcorn. There should be a place in every garden of any size for cultivated water lilies. Their culture in tubs, casks or fountains on the lawn is not difficult, and charming results may be obtained with small outlay of either stoney or time. Many lovely exotic species may be grown in the greenhouse. Of these God rest you, happy gentlemen, the largest known and most amash-1g Who laid your good lives down, of then all is the Victoria regia, a Who took the khaki and the gun magnificent plant of gigantic size, ( Instead et cap and gown, and a denizen of the tributaries of God bring you to a fairer place the RiverAmazon in Brazil. Than even Oxford town, otany The floating leaves of Victoria egia are six feet or more across, circular with anupturned tint sev- eral inches high. The leaf -tissues are full of air spaces which render the eaves so buoyant that they can sup• port the weight of a fair-sized man. The water -lily -like flowers, consisting of many hundrers of petals, are more than a foot across, and open on two successive evenings. The first time a Victoria opens, the inner petals over the stigma (entrance to •the seed -vessel) remain unexpanded and the flowers are creamy white with a delicious fragrance. It closes the next' morning to open again at dark; this time expanding to its fullest extent, but has become rose -red in colour with a disagreeable odour. The flower is then closed forever and is with' drawn, nymph -like, beneath the sur- face of the water. This wonderful plant has been sue. cessfully cultivated in several English hot -houses, Beautiful specimens may be seen in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The first flower that bloomed in England was presented to Queen Victoria, in whose honour it was named.: ' • THE SPIRES OF OXFORD I saw the spires of Oxford As I was passing by, The gray spires of Oxford Against a earl -gray sky.

LANDSCAPE PICTURES Small, pleasing bits of landscape usually make.better.pictures than open, - distant views. include a nearby object when possible. y ANDSCAPBS are a source of ex- . J cellent snapshots which will add appeal to any album; and they can bo made easily with the simplest cameras. Many beginners try to include too much in their landscape pictures. A better omethod is to seek out small, pleasing bits -a single tree over- hanging a brook, a quiet country road winding over a hilltop. The broad, open views which first attract our eyes are not as desirable, for pic- ture purposes; as simple bits which can easily be "composed" into at- tractively arranged pictures. A. good practice, in seeking ng land - scope pictures, is to :;tame„ a scene ...t .,.thixr a yo hands While you study its picture possibilities. The camera lens has a nat rower "angle of view”" than our eyes—it does not take in as much territory—so — ritory se this frit'[ of "framing" helps us judge better what the camera will include. In arranging a landscape picture, avoid lines that divide the picture into equal parts, either vertically or horizontally. •L• arge • areas, such as open sky, should usually be broken up by detail—clouds, or a graceful tree branch, A color filter on the camera lens helps record clouds. "Balance" should also besought. For example, if a large mass of trees is shown in the right-hand foreground, they may be balanced by a smaller. mass on the left—a figure or two, or a distant house and trees. Seeking landscape pictures is a pleasant pastime, and a phase of your camera hobby well worth cult!. eating. Good pictures of this type cana made at an e — b y s anon and the atter onesl b can be enlarged and framed for use as decorations in the. home.
