THE MOTHER Since the black winter night when John was born, I never knew a night's unbroken sleep. When John was two and less a care at night, Mary was born. Then Paul and Ernest came And there were four. I often thought, those years, If I could get but one nibht's sleep, just one, Without a break, I Wright not be so tired, Always so tired, But that night never came, I heard their call and the second it began And breathless,, shivering with cold, I reached Their bed before the cry was still. Or, if I heard no.cry, .I rose to see That things were well, and covers tight and warm. The house was small those days, four rgoms for 'all The six of us. 'I thought I never could Find- place for half the things we needed there; Our house is Iarger now, with seven rooms, And there are two of us to live' in them,. Nothing remains to break my - sleep at night, • But now I find I can aro longer sleep, A sound,' a cry, awakens me, and in in y' mind, Breathless and shivering with cold, I stand. Inside their door. And then, remem- bering, I stop, and look on empty bed. —H, P. Washburn (in Pictorial Review.) PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS TO LEARN 11'?

Showing 'actual pic- tures enhances any study and with accompanying explanations should be most helpful ,to the pupils- We un- derstand nderstand that the school is also in. possession of several films; showing ueh'- things as paper-makeng, cotton growing,'' etc. We have no doubt that this method of teaching will have particular appeal to the pupils and what they learn will remain much longer in 'their minds than informa- tion given out by the former method of. teaching.—Mitchell Advocate. HEALTH BOTHER` "The noblest thoughts my soul can claim, • The noblest words my tongue can frame, - Unworthy are to. praise 'the name, More sacred than all other. An infant, when her love first came, A 'man, I find it just the same: Reverently I breathe her name, The blessed name of 'ado—thee." There is perhaps no more beauti- ful sight than, a Mother with a little child bowed at her knee and to hear the little more than a babe,repeat- ing ,"Now I lay me down to sleeps, Dod bless Mummie- and Daddy, Bobby and Jean." Do the Mothers of to- day just realize what a privilege it is to teach those childish lips to move in prayer? While perhaps they do not just understand what they. are saying, yet they do realize that they are talking to someone besides Mother. At the same time the child is praying, the Mother is asking God to remain with her child throughout life and to fit him or her for aglor- ious family re -union in the Heavenly Home. • "Who taught my infant lips to pray, To love God's holy word and day, To walk in wisdom's pleasant way? My Mother." Earlier in the evening that Mother could have been seen with her child- ren cuddled up in a chair or sitting on her knee while she tolls time from a busy day to tell them a bed -time story. Such scenes are viewed night after night in some homes with the father joining in to make a happy family scene complete. Children must have pleasure and if they arc not made happy in their own homes then they will seek enjoyment else- where, and perhaps that forth of entertainment is not just what the parents would wish. We cannot always remain children. Time. does not_ stand still, and we grow to young manhood and young womanhood, but we can never forget our early training. We inay wander away from it, but we will do so against our conscience. Let that little regulator bring us back to the Godly training of our childhood and the times we spent with Mother. In our unconscious days of 'baby- hood it was Mother who fed uS, tuck- ed us into bed at night, spent anx- ious sleepless hours over us when we were ill and prayed that if it was God's will we might be spared to grow up to be good men and women. Later it was her joy to get us ready for school, start us' off in the morning with a kiss, advise us to obey the teacher, and be good boys and girls. After we had gone, many times she went to her own "holy of holies" and prayed that God would mike us good boys and girls and later, God-fearing men and women. We tramped ' through the house. with muddy boots; left our toys on the floor; put the implant of out fingers and hands on the walls; got hurt by falling or in some way, but Mother guided us, in being orderly, dried our tears and bound up our wounds, At the same time her pray- er ascended to God that we might be good hien and women. Then came the time when we went out to face the world.' Mother knew that we would be tempted and tried: She knew -that we could not with- stand temptation alone. Dry-eyed she talked to us, telling us to Iceep close to God.:. She gave us 'a Bible (is it the' custom of Mothers of to -day . to do' that?), and when the time came for us to go she . stood watching cm far as she could see. Then shewent back and prayed that God would snake usgood leen and women. \; In the experiences of life we sec many instances of when in, their old- er days Motheits.' and Panthers are neglected by their children. They are left to eke out a meagre existence alone, in the majority of cases with no complaint against the children.. They are too loyal for that. Shame and disgrace must eternally rest on children" who neglect their parents. Are you helping to make the passing years of your Mother's life happy or are you leaving her to someone else to care for? We must each one, answer that question for himself or herself.•If a condition of neglect .exists, hasten and make it right before, it is too late. We can never, fully repay a Mother's love, but we can commence right now, 7f our Mother is still with, us, to be kinder and more thoughtful of her. Now is the time to tell her we love her to live out that assertion. "Moth- er's Day" comes onee a year, what would we have done if ear Mothers had cared for us just one day in the year? We would not have been near- ly as forgiving towards heras she is PAGE 71` COOKING CARE OF CI-IILDREN MAIN,W,M0.4.41~IIAMOVW.O.PAINNAO 41•04.0,04,10,00.41 WEpIDMNGS ARNOLD-SPARLING In St. Clair avenue United Church, Toronto, on Saturday, April 29th, the marriage was solemnized quietly of Mildred Orpha, youngest daughter of Mrs, Mary Spading, Clinton., and the late Mr. George Spoiling; to Mr. Alan F, Arnold, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.

Middlesex County's final shipment of turnips fol' the 1938-39 season left Exeter Saturday, bound for the Southern United States. This tship- ment represented the last of a crop of 100,000, bushels shipped from this district to the U. S. in the past few months. Dominion vegetable inspection of- ficials in this district, who checked the final load earlier in the week, said the export crop in 1939 was the largest in Middlesex County's com- parative short turnip -raising history. About 75 per Cent of the turnips raised this year were waxed, indicat- ing that producers stressed quality as well as quantity, Western Ontario turnip shipments across the border in 1939 will exceed 2,000 railroad cars and 500 truck- loads. NOTHING FOR THE LAWYERS When it - comes to reaching satis- factory agreements, we have in this vicinity two young farmers who have what it takes. We believe even differ- ences in Europe might be settled if the same spirit were applied. One purchased two good cows from the other. The following day one ani- mal was sick and a few days later died of indigestion. Did they lay off their coats or go to law :to prove which should stand the loss? No, not these two, whom we might paoud- ly Call modern. The `seller refused to accept the payment, believing the cow may have been affected before it left his -premises. The buyer, be- lieving the long walk and change of feed' had been the cause,;,,would not accept the refund unless the seller would agree to take a calf to offset part of the loss. In these days when selfishness and greed are apparent on many sides, it. is reassuring to see that the Golden': Rule is not forgotten. — Dundalk Herald. towards us now when we remember her so seldom.

THE KNIGHT'S GUEST By Phoebe Kirwan "Go, bring me the most beautifu thing in the Ifingdom," commanded the King, and a Knight set forth on the quest. Far he searched for something passing fair, and chose an exquisite flower, snow petalled, and of frag- rance sweet. It breathed of summer hours and twilight dews and all the sweetuess of growing things, Well -pleased with. his beautiful (flower, the Knight presented it to the King, who gazed at its perfection— delighting in its beauty; but even as he gazed the wind caressed it, and 'neath that 'passioned kiss it fell a shower of petals at his feet. Its beauty was its frailty, and the King commanded another search. This Knight journeyed far, and brought a beautiful 'maiden to make obeisance to the King, who marvelled at her grace and charm. Silver gar- ments were brought wherewith to deck her. beauty; but when the maid- en saw that there was another robe of'georgeous cloth of gold she refus- ed the silver garments, demanding better things to embrace her charm. "Away," said the Ring, "thy beauty wears the cloth of vanity," So the third Knight set forth on the quest. Many days he travelled, despairing of his search, until he came upon a pair of lovers, hand in hand and eyes aglow with happiness, and on their breasts the rose' of loye. Hastening to the Ring, he said, "0 King, the most beautiful thing is love—the love of pian and maid." "Nay,", answered the King, "too oft the sweet flower of love is cankered ,at the heart by the ugly worm of passion and scorched by the hot flames of jealottsy." • Then the youngest of his Knights spoke. ("Oh , Lord, my Ifing,, I' can show you the most beautiful thing in the' Kingdom, but cannot bring it thee; It is 'stronger than commands of Dings, yet, gentleas yon cooing. dove." "Show me this beautiful thing," said the Ring and girded himself for the journey. Straight to a little cottage home the Knight led him, and softly the King peeped through the open wind- ow. At the bedside of 'a little child a woman knelt, and' prayed softly 'midst her weeping. "Lord God, Thou knowest best for him. I fain would bear his pain, and. if Thou bid'st me I must let him go, and strive to rest content. I only ask Thy best for him." And then the baby' stirred and smiled, and at the passionate glad- ness illuminating the mother's face the ' King drew softly back and said:--- • "Thou has shown the the most beautiful thing, my wise young ICnight, for . such self abnegation is love m its purity, and it lives in Mothers' hearts,"—The War Cry: MORE DEFINITE In a Small Church a child was to be, christened. The young sMinister, tak- rug the little one in his arm's :said: "Beloved hearers, no. ono can foretell the future of this little child. Ile may grow up to be a great business man like Henry Ford, or a great politic - an; and it is possible he might be. come the 'Prime 'Minister of England." Tur'ng to the mother, he . en- quired:: "What is the name of the child?" "Mary Ann," was the reply. TO INSTAL(, PASTEURIZATION PLANT• We are informed that Mr. Harry Weymouth is installing a Pasteuriza- tion Plant, and is renovating a building with the intention of equip- ping it with modern machinery. Some little time ago there was talk of such a Plant being established in. Blyth when Mr, Wm, Stewart of Clinton had designs on the idea. Mr. Stewart, apparently could not reach an agreement with local milkmen, and since, then has located in Brus- sels. Mr. Weymouth has since been giving the matter considerable thought and has finally decided to install his own Plaut.: Blyth Stand- ard. "1 can get the figures in a minute!"
