LOST OR STRAYED
• Oh, little lost dog, with a sad, mourn-
ful air, . .
And a quivering tail as your sit an
the stair;
' There are tears in your eyes, and. I
know not why,
Or your tremulous whine and your
pitiful sigh.
• IN SPITE OF BIRTHDAYS
If there's laughter inyour living,
,Cheerful speech upon your tongue.
Then,:' despite time'scriss-crossed
wrinkles,
You're unconquerably young.
Years are little things and futile—
Dust-fluffs flicked from mounting
wings—
How can one more birthday matter,
While the heart of you still sings?
—Gertrude Bowen Webster.
LEND A HELPING: HAND
Did you give him a lift? He's a
brother of man
And bearing about all the burden he
can.
Did you give him a smile? He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped him
to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He
was slipping down hill
And the world, so I fancied, was us-
ing him ill.
Did you give him a word? Did you
show him the road
Or did you just let him go on with
his load?
Did you help him along? He is human
like you.
But the grasp of your hand might
have carried him through.
Did you bid him good cheer? Just

LIFE
' Life is a gift to be used every day
Not to be smothered and hidden away.
It isn't a thing to
be stored in your
chest
" Where" you gather your keepsakes
And treasure your best. '
It isn't a joy to be sipped now and
then
And promptly put back in a dark
place again:
' Life is a gift that humblest may
boast of and
One that the humblest may well make
the most of.
• Get out and live it each hour of the
day,
Wear it and use it as much as you
may,
Don't keep it in niches and corners
and grooves
You'll find that in service its beauty
improves.
COPIYNING DAY

Christ the Magnet
Many times in, our childhood' days
we played with a magnet, usually
modelled after .the shape of a horse
shoe. Our childish minds marvelled
at its power.. As the years • have
passed science has changed many
things but not the fundamental of
magnetism. 'In the same way time
has only strengthened our belief in
an unchangeable Divine:: Magnet,
Jesus' Christ, the greatest drawing
power of all times.
Times ' without namber Cheist•s
enemies have endeavored to eliminate
Portions of Scripture, or to discount
the truth of the Bible altogether,
yet through all these years the verity
of the Book of Books remains the
same.
There are many lessons drawn
from the study of the Magnet which
may be likened to Jesus Christ, but
there is space far only a •few of
these to -day.
Place a child's play magnet in
proximity with a fair-sized nail, and
it will draw it to itself, and that
nail will draw another of the sante
size or it will draw a small piece
of iron. In the same way a small
sized nail will draw a large one. The
principal point is that these articles
must be in. condition to be drawn.
We. must be willing' to be ruled by
His power. When we have been drawn
to Him then we must use that mag-
netism of love to draw others. An
adult, through Christ, may be the
means of drawing another adult or a
child, or via versa, 'a child may bo
accountable for leading a parent, a
brother, sister or alder. friend. There
is no one who cannot have an In-
fluence for Christ. It is a wonderful
thing that your life and mine can
bo so transformed that people can
see Jesus Christ in us, and that we
have the desire to draw- others to
Him. Perhaps we are using the in-
fluence of• prayer or are speaking a
God -guided word. It may be we have
passed on a portion of the Bible or
a tract to someone who needed just
that help and encouragement. It takes
such a little thing sornetiines to bring
elle to Him. We must be extremely
careful lest we tell to the world that
we are Christians and yet act in such
a way that those who see us will
say "If that is Christianity, then I
want none of it." We have no right
to judge anyone else in this regard.
Our responsibility rests with oursel-
ves; When we stand" before Christ
at the Judgment seat it will do us
no good to bring forward the excuse
that someone else did not act in a
Christian ivay It is indeed a wond-
erful privilege to be in partnorship
with Gocl. Let us not abuse that
co-operation.
Place ate iron article in the dirt
and drag a magnet through it. The
iron in the dirt will be attracted and
the magnet will lift it out of the
dirt and place it on a sure fonnda
tion. Perhaps we have sonic pet sire
to which we are clinging. It may
be there is some amusement which
we feel we cannot, give up and which
we know Christ would not comnton-
once, so as the magnet will not draw
iron encased in brass so Jesus will
not draw us until we have laid aside
the things of the world. At the
judgment this worldly pleasure may
Mote the stumbling biock -which will
draw the sentence "Depart front.rhe,
I never knew you". If we would
only accept. Christ and co-operate
with Him we would find plenty of
pleasure in doing His will without
being draggeddownby things of the
world.
It does not need to be' a straight
piece of iron to be drawn by the
magnet. Christ carne to influence not
only the etrong and healthy. People
who have been bed ridden for years
have felt the magnetic power of
Jesus Christ and have been led into
Hlis presence. Besides that He draws
people of different disposition. •=A
bad tempered, ugly dispositioned per
eon is just as susceptible to be drawn
as • a mild ,meek individual. It mat
-
tee 5 not to what. station In life we.
are placed: Jesus, Christ is able to
draw .us to Him, we may hold a
very high position or we may live in
a shasity. Jesus is equally near in
either niece. t• He stands ready to
draw us but we must show our will -
lino -less to be draw to Him. If we
will not come to Hiro He will do no
more but when we are ready to re-
ceiye Him what a pleasure it gives
Him and His angelic host. The mag-
net will not inflrience anything be-
yond its power.
Sad as it may seem,- there are
some people, who have been drawn
by the influence of Christ, but after
working with Him for a time their
gradually
enthusiasm has waned and y
g
a stronger earthly magnet( as far
as they are concerned) has dragged
IN CASE A FIRE BREAKS OUT
What To Do and What Not To Do
Do you know what to de if your
frying pan catches fire, if a burning
match starts .a blaze in the waste-
paper basket, if a curtain ignites;
from a gas -jet, if the chimney is
on fire, of an oil stove blazes up,
if the clothing of one of the children
takes fire, or if the roof is attack-
ed by sparks from .'a nearby' fire?
"What isthe very first thing to do
on discovering a fire?" is often ask-
ed. Several things have to be done
simultaneously, so that it is not easy
to give one• separate `direction.
However, generally speaking, the
first thing is to shut off the draught
at once, close the windows and
doors, -and shut the fire up in one
place. At the same time, call to
someone else to sound an alarm, and
do what you can to fight the fire
Smother it with blankets, wet ashes
sand, or water, or attack it with ex-
tinguishers if they are at hand. In
the isolated house in a suburb or at
some distance from the nearby. fire
headquarters ample means for
checking incipient fires shduld be
installed.
Water is a conductor of electricity
and should not be used on a fire
resulting from burned out. insula-
tion or on a fire caused by gasoline
In the case of such outbreaks turn
off the electric current and use sand.
A burning waste -paper , basket
should be promptly covered with a
carpet, thick table cover or an over-
coat, if nothing else is at liand, and
bundled out of the window. Seize
the basket at the bottom to lessen
the danger of burning the face and
arms.
The best way to handle a pail of.
water is not to throw it at the flame
Your aim may not be accurate and
there may not be time to fill 'another
pail, Dip a broom in the water and
attack the fire with the wet broom
A broom will hold a fairly large
quantity of water and will spatter
a wide surface in a few minutes. If
a curtain is burning, the wet broom
will help to knock it down without
burning the hands.
For certain kinds of fire, water
should not be used. In the case of a
chimney fire, water cracks the
heated bricks and gives the fire a
chance to penetrate into the floors
and attack the house. Salt thrown
down a flue or from the roof is bet-
ter; sand will also answer the pur-
pose.
If the attacker is wearing light
clothing he should use a rug of
heavy coat to protect himself. Cold
water should be dashed on the hair
if there is time. Get the fire on the
floor as quickly as possible, so that
it may be smothered or soaked with
water.
Children should be taught to rol
on the floor' if their clothing catches
fire, and, if possible, to wrap them
selves in a rug. Above all things
they should be taught not to remain
standing, as fire works - upward, and
never to run in burning clothing.
Children must also be made to
realise the danger of playing with
fire—. beating a bonfire -with sticks
or lighting matches for the fun of
blowing them- out,
Remember to protect the face by
throwing the arras across it if the
clothing catches fr'be. Otherwise the
flames, in shooting up, will be
breathed in through the mouth or
nostrils, and suffocation will be the
result.
diem back to the things of the world
What a tragedy that is! Does that
mean they most stay always with
the world? No! The Heavenly mag
net is always twilling to draw us bacl
again and take us from the power
of the world. , Almost invariably in
talking to those to whom this has
happened. we ,find that they .have
neglected prayer and Bible study and
without:;these the influence ofthe
world is bound,to creep in. At first
it may be it little wedge, but later
on there is a complete break
May God grant that we will allow
His, magnetism Of sacrifice and love
to just take told of us and keepus
near Ilim.

Are you lonely, are you sad?

CARE OF CHILDREN''
WAYS TO STOP MOSQUITOES
BITING
With • the disappearance of the snow
and the approach of warmer weather,
the thoughts of young and old alike
turn with pleasant anticipation to the
joys of outdoors. Unfortunately, these
joys rnay often be marred to a con-
siderable eretent by the blood -thirsty
attentions of biting flies, especially
mosquitoes, except in localities where
effective control has been carried out
or where' there are ne breeding places.
The larvae and pupae of mosquitoes
develop only in stagnant water bod-
ies, .and the application of si thin
film 'of petroleum, oil in such places
in May and early June will destroy
countless numbers of them. To be
really satisfactory such work should
be properly planned and carried out
on a community scale.
For protection from mosquitoes
once they are on the wing, various
repellents are in general use, among
which, to name only a few, are oil
of citronella, spirits of camphor, oil
of lavender .and oil of • cedar. As a
result of recent experiments carried
out In Ottawa under the direction of
the Dominion Entomologist, a repel-
lent mixture has been developed
which has proved more satisfactory
and more lasting in effect than any
hitherto in popular use.
This. repellent is easy to mix and
the formula is quite simple. It is
as follows:
Oil of thyme 1 fluid ounce
Concentrated kerosene extract
of pryethrum 2 fluid ounces
Castor oil, or olive oil 5 fluid ounces
Each ounce of the pyrethrum extract
should be equivalent in strength to
one-fifth of a pound of good grade
ROYALTY AND CANADA
