Another boy on another•day At the selfsame crossroads stood. He paused amoment to choose the way Which would lead to the greater good.

Ritchie. did not. THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD HEALTH er Although not nearly so widely,ob- served .a day has been set aside for fathers as well as mothers. Tle lesser thought of it does not mean that the fathers are by any means forgotten. Children should always re- member that they have a binding duty to fathers and mothers. This article: is more to fathers than to children and the question. arises. Are the fathers to -day acting in such a way that their sons and daughters will want to follow in their footsteps? Can the men and women,ofto-day leak back tar the time when Daddy planned to include them in their do- ings after his work hours or do they remember hien choosing his compan- ions in his off -hours among those with whom his family had no con- nection? God has given sons and daughters into the homes. The fathers as welt as the mothers have takers vows to bring up the children to love the Lord, In many instances it has just been a few spoken replies to quee- tions asked by the -minister. Answere which were a mere matter of form and which did not come from the heart at all. At any rate the father has just as : much responsibility for the family standing unbroken before the throne of God as the mother has. A father once said "I would not have you be a pattern cut from nee' and yet how many childen think " It I could only be like my dad". No matter in what walk of life all fath- ers have heard their sons say that and many a boyish fight' is staged following an argument as to whose father is the better. Many fathers, presumably Christian fathers, see their sons and daughters start out for the day without gather- ing them about him and committing them to God. How do they know that only the broken, lifeless body of that child or youth, will be brought back to him, and he will be left to wonder if that boy or girl is "safe in the arms of Jesus?" The head of the hone contends "we get up so late in the morning that there is not time for family worship," That is no excuse. The family, if proper- ly influenced will rise half an hour earlier so that c some time may be spent with God before they separate for the day. The really great men of the world have got up in the early hours of the morning as they reit the need of tune for reading and meditation. A. great! American sculptor once said to a friend "I' lost, my first child." The friend with 'sympathy said, "How did she die?" "She did not die," replied the sculptor, "she just got away from me. I war too busy!". Many fathers are so busy attending . to the material' comforts of their families that they are neg- lecting the spiritual, the all import- ant side of life. A father should' teach his children not ' to follow in his footsteps, but to keep in sight the Heavenly Father, wlioni he also is trying to follow. A father was talking to his son, is young man who was pa!s'►ning into Eternity. The father had observed God's laws in such a 'xray that he was qualified to give comfort in this way. The son said to hint, "Father, when I enter Heaven I. will go straight 'to Jesus and toll him you taught nee to follow Him and it to due to your example and teaching that I am fit to be in His presence." The joy which must have come into that father's heart with triose parting words. There is no reason why every father should not • experience that same pleasure. Many fathers and for that matter, mothers too, stand speechless beside the death bed of a son or daughter. In fear, knowing their neglect, they call the minister to. give the comfort which they are unable to render, If the departing one gives the assurance of faith re Christ they realize that it is through no teaching of theirs that. God will welcome, that child. Alas! At times a son or daughter.passes.out leaving' no assurance as to safety Why will parents not give first place in their homes to the I•ieavenly Fath- er?

BRIDAL RHYMES When you pick the day for your wedding, and select your dress, you should remember the two old rhymes, each with a long tradition behind it. The one— • Monday for health. Tuesday for wealth. Wednesday the best day of all. Thursday for losses. Friday for ,crosses. Saturday no luck at all. Sunday the day of blessedly blessed. The other one— Marriott in white you have chosen all right. Married in black you will wish yourself back. - Married in red -- you will wish yourself dead. Married in green—ashamed to be seen. Married in blue ---he will always be true. • Married in pearl—you will live in a whirl. Married in yellow—ashamed of your fellow. Married in brown—you will live out of town. Married in pink -your fortunes will sink. And of course in the whirl of all this excitement do not forget• to wear on your wedding -day: Something old Something new Something borrowed Something blue. It's an old superstition that wear- ing these things brings good luck "forever after"!

An Advertising Bill of Seventy Years Ago In going through some old papery the other day, Mr. J. W. Gledhill of the Benmiller Woollen Mills' came across a bill issued by the late George Acheson advertising "bargains in dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, and readymade clothing." It is dated May 15th., 1869. Some of the prices mentioned may be interesting to the shoppers of 1939: Prints frons 6c to 18c, grey cottons from 5c to 17e, tickings from 12?j%c to 35; fancy dressgoads from 8c to 50c, "black lustres from 14c to 90c, French de- 1ains from 28c to 40c, table linens 28e to $1, towels,; 100 to 35c. In groceries, 24 lbs. currants, $1; 22 Ib. rice, $1; 9 ib. bright sugar, $1. A bankrupt stock of boots and shoes, over $6,000 worth, was advertised. Ladies' prunella gaiters, 750 to $1.60; ladies' prunella laced, 00e to $2; men's laced boots, $1,75 to $3; men's kip Wellingtons, $2.50. to $2,75; fine dress boots, $3,75;' men's Cobourgs, $1.1.0 boots, $3,75` emu's Cobourgs, $1.10 to $1.25. Among other goods advertised (without prices) were hoop skirts, shawls, straw good; feathers, flow ers, ribbons, lace, readymade cloth- ing., dried hani, butter, eggs, etc., ete. In those days—seventy years ago -stores were muchmore of the "gen- eral" character than they are' today. Probably there was not a drygoods store in the town that did not have a grocery department or that did not take butter and eggs in trade. George • Acheson's "cheap cash store" (as he advertised it) evidently prospered, for he became one of the 'wealthiest men of the town.'
