I NEED YOUR ,ROSES NOW "THE LADIES AID SOCIETY"
'S do not plead a broken heart,
My life knows much of bliss;
..And at times the hot tears start,
Because of joys I miss.
'Oh, do not leave the tender things
Unsaid till o'er my brow,
Meath's cruel.wing its warning Hinge,
I need your roses now.
of I should take the journey far,
Your tears would fall like rain;
And out beyond the evening star,
Your soul would call in vain. -
-.But walking closely by your side,
How little you allow -
For human failings none can hide—.
I need your roses now
•-0h, life would brighten everywhere
If half the love were shown
In tender, sympathetic care
That gleams in costly stone.
The honour you too late would give,
Give now, I care not how; -
For you, and: you alone, I live,
I need your roses now.

Washing nay dress and doing up

Let some beau call for me, driving
a horse,
Even a buckboard would not be so
worse;
Let us Come driving back, me at his
side,
Let me say, "Thanks for the old
buggy ride." -
Let ane give parties where all behave
well,
Proper in manners and stories they
tell;
Let some good dancer with zlecoroua
grip
Waltz me around with no flask on
his hip.
. Oh—let me rest from this soul killing
pace,
Throw away compact and cigarette

Turn -off the radio, let me expand
-Playing sweet airs on the upright or
grand.
Let me wear skirts that are down
to my heels, t -

We've built a fine addition to - the
good old church at home,
It's just the latest kilter with gal-
lery and dome;
It seats a thousand people, the fin-
est church in town,
And when 'twas dedicated why we
planked two thousand down—
That is, we paid five thousand, every
person did his best,
And the Ladies Aid Society they
promised all the rest.
We've got an organ in the church,
the finest in the land,
It has a 'thousand pipes er more, its
melody is grand;
And when we sit on cushioned paws
and hear the master play,
It carries us to realms of bliss un-
numbered miles away;
It cost a cool three thousand and its
stood the hardest test,
We'll pay a thousand on it the
Ladies Aid the rest.
They'll give a•hundred sociables, can-
tatas, toe, and teas,.
They'll bake a thousand angel, cakes
and tons of cream they'll` freeze,
Thel'll beg and scrape and toil and
sweat for seven years or more,
And then they'll start all over again
for a carpet for the floor;
So you see it isn't just like digging
the cash from out your vest,
When the Ladies Aid get busy and
says—"We'll pay the rest."
Of course we're proud of our big
church, from pulpit to the . spire,
Its the darling of our eyes, the crown
of our desire;
But when I see the sisters work to
raise the cash that Lacks, -
I somehow feel the church is built
on women's backs;
And sometimes I can't help thinking
that when we reach the regions
blest,
The men will have to toil and sweat
the Ladies Aid then rest,

"AGE^
Age is a quality of mind,
If your dreams you've left behind,
If hope is cold;
If you no longer look ahead,
If your ambitions fires are dead,
Then you are old.
But if from life you take the.bes
And if in life..you keep the' zest,
If Love you hold.
No matter how the years go by, '
No matter how your birthdays fly—
You are not old. —W. W. 'Funge, Jr.

The
Royal Train
The most beautiful, the most 'thor-
oughly equipped, the most minutely
tested train that has ever been put
into transport in 'Canada has started
from Quebec City with Their l4lajest-
ies King George VI and Queen Eliza-
beth on board. This train will make
a tour of Canada from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. •
The structure, - of the train itself
embodies,beauty, strength, and. saf-
ety. We Mei that it was tested. to
a speed of eighty miles an hour. The
travellers accompanying Their Maj-
esties age men and women who have
been proven beyond a doubt to be
trustworthy and congenial.
.Let us look et the cars making up
the Royal Train and try in some
way to compare them to our lives.
We will just take into consideration
the -ears used by 'Their Majesties.
There is a sitting room, a diner, a
baggage car, a -sleeper and an engine
on wheels. On board our train we
should have the same cars. In the
sitting room, we do our daily work.
From here we goo out to de His bid-
ding. We cannot just step out of
the car and -.save souls, we must de-
tour.- If we want to be a help to
others in a Christian way we must
go around by Heaven. It will be
necessary for us to leave the train
a thorough Christian. We have seen
people of the world judge 'Christ by
His representatives here. They have
no right to, but nevertheless we muss
bear in mind that .we are the stand-
ard of Christianity in the eyes of
some•people This snakes us realize
that -we are very poor representatives.
A mother may berdoing just as good
work tieing the shoe laces of her
little ones in order to get them off
to school, as the President of a MIs-
sionary Society. A father may be
setting as profitable an example for
Christ digging in his garden as the
minister from the pulpit. We should
leave our car of work in the right
frame of mind to do. His work, other-
wise we will net be receptive for His
message.
Then there is the diner. People
ahvays enjoy having guests to dine.
One of the most famous paintings by
Holman Hunt is the "Scape-goat"
showing a poor starving animal
wandering- alone near the Dead Sea,
Do we ever come in contact with peo-
ple-tvho are alone in the world, peo-
ple who would be helped by a cheer-
ing word from use those who aro
starving for 'a message which Christ
has given us to pass on to them?
It may be that Jesus wishes us to
be the host or hostess in order that
we may feed that spill. Have -we the
Bread of Life in our own hearts to
pass on to such a one as that? We,i
cannot give what we have not got
ourselves. Often we plan and plan'
how we are going to help some one
but we leave God out of our plains
altogether. We need Him to place
the food before us in order that wo
may share His bounty with othera.
AIso attached to the train is a bag-
gage car in which are supplies for
the complete trip. There should be
an adequate baggage car attached to
our train. God has given us a brain,
a thinking power .made up so to
speak, of little pigeon holes. There
is plenty of room- there to store all
that we will need through life. Just
as the attendants of the Meg and
Queen saw that there were .ample
supplies in the baggage -car- attached
to the Royal Train, so we should see
that wo have thoughts :For every oce
casion. 'When we are young is, the

are .troubled lest -their child should

but do they give the proper attention

THE GIRL OF TO -DAY
You have my sympathy, little girl,
The men don't like your clothes
Nor your hair combed over your
Pretty ear --
Poke' fun at your powdered nose.
I !mow that your grandam wore a
train
And she swept the sidewalk clean,
And the men they sneered, and the
men they growled, -
Men always have, I ween.
But she went right on in her ON
sweet way,
Just as you do, my dear,
And she mopped ,up measles and ty-
phoid germs,
And scattered them everywhere.
When she put on her bustles and big
hoop skirts,
Then men folks jeered and mocked,
And when she 'hanged and bobbeu'
her beautiful hair,
Strong virile, men were 'shocked.
So you're just as sweet as your
grandma was -
And she was winsome and true—
And you'd look like sin if you dressed
like her --
And she wouldn't have dressed like
you!
Her heart wan. clean and her soul
was white,
And her fair fame stands, undimmed,
For it's not the cut of your gown
that counts —•
It's the way your soul is trimmed.
—Hanover Post.

Then there is the sleeper, the place
of rest, where we can go aside from
the world and in the quietness oe.
our own room listen for God's guid-
ance. If we make our wills subjeca
to His will Ile will Lead us in the
way He wants us to go.
Our train itself is now complete.
As far as touring is concerned Is
would be very little use standing on
the track. There must be a power
to draw it. In this instance the
power is a marvellous stream -lined
engine. In our lives the power Is
God. "Let Go and ,Let God" is a
splendid motto for us to rely on. Just,
how are we going to keep in touch
with that power? Prayer is the
answer., One day should begin With
prayer and eve have the privilege of
constantly 'listening - for - His voice.
The answers to our prayers are.re-
markable bat we must offer not a
blind prayer but a soul prayer,
Ira connection with the Royal Train
there are three instances which may
be compared to prayer as a prevent-
ative against temptation. First, the
pilot train which goes twenty min-
utes ahead of the Royal coaehea.
Second, the . protection of the Canad-
ian North West Mounted Police with
the aid of the district constabulary
and third, the flood light which ea-
velopes the train when standing still
at night. Like prayer they are all
a.nneans• of: safety.
