' ',The crimson of arcoin s breast; 'Toe purple of a thistle's crest; • A fragile nest on swaying bough; Brown horses straining at -the plough; A firefly's lantern burning bright; A cricket chanting in the night; . A flowery goblet lifted up That 'a tiny bee might sup; New lambs upon a quiet hill; right streams where cattle drink their fill— How much of joy my heart would MISS' Then I thought of other mornings h such as thisl Were there not riches s —Ruth Stirling Bauer. With a keen remorse of mind, So I met God in the morning When the day was at its best, And •HisP resence came like sunshine Like a glory within my breast. All day long the presence lingered Ali day long He stayed with me, And we sailed with perfect calmness O'er a very troubled sea. Other ships were blown and battered, Other ships were sore distressed, But the winds that seemed to drive them Brought to us a peace and rest. PET SHOP Tiers and tiers of cages down a stuffy room; Wistful little faces peering through the gloom, ..Little tails that wig -wag a message of appeal; Hearts that beat with all the hope that a pup may feel. Tiny wooden boxes piled just here• by chance, ` Wherein feathered singers wait de- liverance; Over there a monkey clasps his prison bar While his sad eyes mournfully seem to gaze afar. Here a bunch of kittens cuddled in a heap, Little wise philosophers, spend their time in sleep; One, a wakeful brother, chews his tiny tail— ' There a lonely puppy -dog lifts a piteous wail. Small, dependent atoms, helplessly in thrall, "Would that I were able to buy and free them all! —Agnes Follansbee Chase, A PRAYER However humble the place I may hold On the lowly trails I have trod, There's a child who bases his faith on me; There's a dog who thinks I'm a god. Lord, keep me worthy Lord, keep rue clean And fearless and undefiled, ,'Lest I lose caste in the sight of a dog, And the wide, clear eyes of a child! When 1, too, had loosed the mooring With His presence left behind. So I thing I know the secret Learned fron' many a troubled way— You must seek God in the morning, If you want Him through the day. IN MEMORY Here lies a little dog at rest Upon a hillside's gentle slope, A little dog' who shared a 'part Of tenderness and love and hope; A little dog whose span of life Upon this lovely earth was brief, And yet whose happy being stirred .A. lonely heart to love .. and grief; Who asked no more than just to know A kindly hand and simple fare, But whose adoring eyes bespoke Devotion that was deep and rare; Whose merry antics brought a smile, And ringing bark would strive to say The joy he knew in welcoming His master at the close of day. Here lies a little dog at rest, So brief his life, and yet his part In living was not small, for still He holds a place in someone's heart. —Nell Griffith Wilson.

Our King & Queen Tested Recipes Guarding Against Boredom I1, was with a great deal of pleas- ure that the people of Canada list- ened ,to the broadcast of the sailing of the "Empress of Australia." Why? Because 'on board were our King and Queen, They were embarking on a voyage to Canada. OIt Sunday from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the Can- adian congregations sang that beauti- ful prayer hymn "For those in peril on the Sea." ' Of necessity this article must be written' before the arrival of Then Majesties in Canada, .but their com- ing has been anxiously awaited and everything has been done to extend to them the rousing welcome from their subjects when they disembark at Quebec. They are justly entitled to all the honor which can be be- stowed, upon then. We, loyal subjects of King George havenue er v had the joy of welcom- ing the King; of the Realm to our fair shores and we are overjoyed to think, that he, who holds the highest office in the Kingdom, should 'visit us just at this particular time, and we are grateful for the gracious in- vitation which has been extended to Their Majesties by our friendly neighbours to the south. King George came to the throne at a time when it was feared by many that there might be civil war in England following the abdication r of thea uncrowned Edward ViIII. King George and Queen Elizabeth uniting in their family the English and the Scotch races came out of a compara- tive private life, from a. happy home, to assume the responsibility of a troubled nation. The throne was not sought by our 'King, but when he saw the responsibility he readily ac- cepted it. He and his consort Queen Elizabeth have done their utmost to give their best to their people and we know that they are followers of the meek and lovely Jesus. We almost envy thc!se who will have the opportunity of seeing Their Majesties. Some . are at too great a distance to travel to the nearest stopping place. Others through ill- ness will be unable to go, but each one of us, no matter what the cir- cumstance, can give them a royal welcome in our hearts as we follow their tour through Canada and the United States, fornever in the hist- ory of this comparatively new land has there been an event of such momentous importance. Our prayers for their safety will follow them as they journey. They have been loaned to us by the Mother Land, A. patient in one of the hospitals was lamenting the circumstances which would prevent him from going a few blocks to see the Royal pro- cession. A friend said to him, "Well never mind, some day you will sec the King of Kings." Our Earthly Ring comes to us in grandeur, which he richly deserves. The Ring of Kings • was . born in a stable and cradled in: a manger. Yet our Ring, who takes precedence over 'every individual in the British Em Aire, acknowledges Him to be the Ring of Icings. During the. Corona- tion ceremonies the King-and,Queen bad their crowns removed while tak- ing sacranment•in honor of Hiin who wore a crown of thorns. What a blessing it is to our Empire, that w'e have a Ring and Queen who fear and love God. They represent something which will remain after their Earthly reign is over, the Majesty of the Most Iigh God:.

It is our privilege to carry both flags. May we all rio honor to our Earthly King and Queen and to the New Angles for Vegetable Dishes • By Katharine Baker Even our favourite vegetables be- come tiresome if always served the same way. Children find this espec- ially so and most hones are familiar with the rebellion against .vegetables. When this happens, it is not entirely the fault of the child—he may just be sick and aired of eating the same thing over and over again. Though our varieties of vegetables are lim- ited, the way in which they can be served are not. Here is a new get-up for cauliflower and a recipe for a medley of vegetables. CAULIFLOWER AU GRATIN 1 small cauliflower (in flowerets) 2 tablespoons quick -cooking q g tapioca % teaspoon salt ' % teaspoon paprika 2 cups milk 1 cup grated Canadian cheese 1 cup bread crumbs, buttered Cook cauliflower in boiling, salted water 12 minutes, or until tender; drain and place in 6 small or 1 large greased baking dish. Combine quick- cooking uickcooking tapioca, salt, paprika, and milk in top of double boiler. Place over rapidly boiling water and cook 5 to .10 minutes after which boil again, stirring frequently. Remove from boiling water; add cheese and stir until melted. Pour over hot cauliflower; cover with crumbs and bake in moderate over (360 Degrees F.) 20 minutes. Serves 6.

Add tomatoes, and mushrooms and cook slowly 20 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender; then add quick -cooking tapioca, salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Serves 6. DAFFODILS A shower of yellow daffodils against the windowpane, With shining songs of growing things along an English lane, Crispy frocks, fluttered skirts with Spring in every fold— Oh, daffodils are young, I thinly, though all the world grow old! For daffodils are fresh as dawn, and. wide-eyed as the morn, As yellow as the golden sun upon, the golden corn, And what shall keep my dreams on high when sleet obscures the hills Unless my heart has learned to sing the songs of daffodils? from trees° and strewed them in the path of the approaching Royal pro- cession when Jesus made His triumphant entry. Ring of Kings who reigns above There may be a few. in Canada, every Earthly Ruler. who will not give a hearty welcome God save aur gzacious I{ing, to out Ring and Queen.. They ai'e Long live our noble King, not compelled to live here, but if God, save the King! they do they.inust abide by Canadian Send him victorious;' laws. So we do not. have to accept, Happy and glorious, Christ as ;our. King, but if we do we Long to reign over us: must ask Him to come into our hearts: and abide there, reigning alone. He will not come otherwise.. God save the Ring! Thy richest gifts in store As we 'look around our community On hnn be pleased t pour; we will see many decorations which , Long may he reign. will be largely red, white and blue. May he defend our laws the colors of the Union Jack. The And ever give us cause colors of the Heavenly Realm ape To sing with heart and voice, black, red and white, signifying the God save the King!" black of 'sin covered by the red of "PEG" COOKING Nonsense About Proteins and Starches "You must . not eat proteins and starches at the same meal," says the fadist. If this theory were carried out our meals" would be inadequate and we would .suffer from malnutri- tion in the midst of plenty. Yet this fad is proclaimed far and wide by quacks, faddists and the advertisers of so-called special cures. • (Nature has combined proteins and etarches in many foods used by peo- ple from day to day. Green peas contain about 7 per cent of protein and, on the average about the same of starch. Who refuses to eat green peas on this account? , Potatoes con; tale, about 1.8 per cent of protein and 14 per cent carbohydrate and the human system still converts 58 per cent of protein into carbohydrate. One of the most noted of the fad- dists who warn us against the use of protein and starch advocates the use of whole wheat flour and thus swallows himself. Whole wheat flour is chiefly starch but it also contains about 13.8 per cent of protein, whale wheatera, Y simile 1 � x advocated con- tains tains about equal " quantities ofpro- tein and starch. It is' remarkable bow the advocates of nonsense continue to promote fold- erol and with much success even among the more enlightened mem- bers of the community. The gullible portion of the public are much readier to accept the advice of the charlatan than ` they are to believe that ' of medically -trained opinion. In con- sequence they and their families are the sufferers. Mother Nature knows more about food combinations' than any faddist. There is notthe slightest ground for believing that a food combination of proteins, starches and carbohyd- rates in proper proportions, will do any injury to the user. As a natter of fact the. best diets are combina- tions of these food elements and if we wish to gain the highest benefits from our foods, the diet must be balanced in -so -far as these elements are concerned. The public should turn a deaf ear to the oft -repeated nonsense about proteins and starches. =By J. W. S. McCullough, M.D., D.P.H. of The Health League of Canada. A ONE -CENT CHEQUE Mr. Abner Cosens of Wingham has a check that is somewhat of a novel- ty as it is for one cent. He received it as a dividend from Cities Service' Oil Company, Bartl�stville, Olga. It cost three cents to mail the cheque would require a three -cent stamp if he were to cash it, also exchange.' Needless to say, Mr. Cosens is just keeping it as a souvenir. CARE OF CHILDREN Presbytery Marks Diamondi!And Then The Editor Left Jubilee Town Special Gathering at Lucknow Also Marks Church Anniversary The diamond jubilee of the Presby- tery of Maitland was celebrated in the Presbyterian Church, Lucknow A meeting was held in the after- noon, followed by a congregational ( supper, served by the women of the Lucknow congregation. In the even- ing a joint celebration was held in honor aF the diamond jubilee of the Presbytery and the golden jubilee of the laying of the corner -stone of the , Lucknow church. The cornerstone was laid by Dr. Caven, principal of Knox. College, in 11887, Rev. Angus McKay, was the first minister of the church which was built during the first years of his ministry, which lasted 16 years. Mr. McKay was followed by Rev. D. T. L. McKerroll, who was inducted in 1904, and who resigned in 1910. Rev. J. S. Duncan, a graduate of Mc- Gill College, Montreal, was ordained and inducted in August, 1910, and when he acre Steelton accepted a call to in 1916, Rev. Robert McCallum was inducted to the charge, where he re- mained . until his death in 1925. The present minister, Rev. C. H. McDon- ald, was inducted in October, 1925. Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer, Wherever you may meet it. A MEMORY SYSTEM Forget each kindness that you do As soon as you have done it; Forget the praise that' falls on you The moven you t have' won rt• , Forget the slander that you hear Before you can repeat it, Remember every kindness done To you, whate'er its measure; Remember those who lend you aid, And be a grateful debtor. Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure; Remember every promise made And keep it to the letter. HONEY STIMULATES ROOTS Ordinary honey niay be used with good effect in floriculture in the stimulation of roots of cuttings. Pre- liminary experiments by the Division of Horticulture, Dominion Experi- mental Farms, proved the utility of honey in this respect, and a thorough test which was concluded in. March established the fact that a 25 per cent solution of honey had a def- inite stimulating effect on roots of both cedar and chrysanthemum cutt- ings and compared very favourably with any of the hormone chemicals used for that purpose. An exchange tells of an editor, preparing for sudden and permanent disappearance to a unnamed destina- tion, who fulfilled a hitherto frust- rated desire to write up a wedding in which the truth, the whole. truth and nothing but the truth was told. It was a surprised list of subscribers who read the foilowingtreport of the wedding of twe well-known people in a certain little community: 1 Jim Galeway and Miss Georgianna ' Bentlow were married Monday at the home of the bride's parents, M. land Mrs. A. Bentlow. Rev. Mr; Deckett officiating. The groom is a popular young bum who hasn't done a lick of work since he got expelled in his junior year aro College. He manages to dress well and keeps a supply of spending money because his dad is a soft hearted old fool who takes up his scalawag son's bad cheques instead of letting him go to jail where he belongs. . The bride is a skinny, fast little idiot, who has been run after by every boyin town since she ewas2 1 years old. She paints like a Sioux Indian, sucks cigarettes and drinks mean corn liquor when she is out joy -riding in her dad's car at night. She doesn't know how to cook, sew or keep house; The house was newly plastered foe the wedding and the exterior newlf painted, thus approximately carrying out the decorative scheme for the groom was newly plastered and the bride newly painted. The groom wore a rented dinner suit over athletic underwear of im- • nation silk and his pants were held up by pale green suspenders. His number nine patent leather shoes matched his state in tightness and harmonized nicely with the axle grease polish on his hair. In addition to his fag, he carried a pocket knife, a bunch of keys, a dun for the ring and his usual look of imbecility. The young couple will make their home with the br'ide's parents which means they will sponge on the old man until he dies, then she takes in washing. P.S.—This may be the Last issue of my paper, but it always Lias been my ambition to write up one wedding and tell the truth. After this is done, death can have no sting. HEADS PERTH PRESBYTERY Rev.
