The golden aureole of the wistful moon, A vigil lamp hung in the jewelled dome, Glows with an evanescent splendor strewn On vagrant clouds of white arrested foam. Across the ebon lineaments of night, Pass the winds of angel -wings in endless quest, A sleeping earth transfigured as they light And lift some soul, to stillness and to rest. Beneath the starlit firmament alone So much of Heaven's vaulted arch I see, Darkness becomes the shadow of God's throne, And Peace, His benediction, shepherds ane. SUPPOSE! Suppose that Christ had not been born- ' That far away Judean morn. Suppose that God, whose mighty hand Created worlds, had never planned A way for man, to be redeemed! Suppose the wise men only dreamed 'That guiding star wleose light, still glows ' Down tlirough the centuries! Sup- pose , Christ never walked here in men's sight • I I Our blessed Way, and Truth and Light. a :b i.:-ia Ala Supplose He'd counted all the wet And never cared that we were lost, And never died for you and me, Nor sired His blood at Calvary Upon a shameless cross! Suppose That having died He never rose, And there was none with power to save Our souls from darkness and the grave. As far as piteous heathen know These things `that I've supposed are so. -Martha Snell Nicholson, LIFE . Life is a task — laborious Life is a struggle -- glorious! Life is a battle victorious!

ORANGE JUICE AND VITAMIN C So many persons make a practice of squeezing oranges at night, put- ting the juice in a lightly covered glass and leaving it in the refrigerat- or for use at breakfast, that the question has often been raised as to wants to be unhappy?" Assuredly not, but many of us are doing our utmost to attain tie that estate. , How are we doing it? Just simply . by "crossing bridge before we come to them" and by evading all the rules whichlead to happiness. To simplify this article it might be well to index some rules for unhap- piness so they will be more remem- bered: 1. Grumble about things, especially those over which We' have 'no contaol. 2. Refuse to think of others and centre all our thoughts on our- selves. 3. Be always` looking for trouble. 4. Allow jealousy to become part Of our lives. 5. Speak in anger. 6, Fail to see the lovely things in life. 7. Fill our time with idleness. 8. Lastly, but most important, for- get God. Just recently we have experienced a very warm period of weather. Very few of us have not at times com- plained about it. People who have certain diseases have welcomed it; others have thought God's sun was merciless. Those who have had fields and gardens have murmured that God FEVER allowed things to be practically burn- HAYed up. In very few instances has the weather been suitable. Well, what can be dine about it? In about six months .we will be complaining about the cold. Isn't it a wonderful thing that we have a God Who regulates the 'weather and that He does not as- sign that work to anyone of us. When we begin to judge God for sending hot or cold weather, too •much rain ar cloudless skies, then we are going beyond our rights. This is just an example of the many things in life over which we have no control and yet so often we do a great deal of judging in connec- tion with it. We may become' so self-centred that we cannot see that any one else has any trouble besides ourselves. We are from time to time burdening a friend or acquaintances with our aches and pains; our loss of money; our sorrows or some tragic thing which has happened to us. We talk so fast about it that our listener gets no chance to "get a word in edge- ways", with the result that if we were at all observant we would see then gradually edging away from us. There are a great many things in the world to -day to talk about be- sides ourselves. All the troubles in the world have not been piled on us. Others have a good share of them too. A num visiting a lighthouse once said to the keeper, "are you not afraid out hcre?" The keeper replied "No, I Alberta. One of these stretches from nm not afraid. We never think of the Red Deer River to the northern ourselves out here. We know that boundary. A second comprises the we are perfectly safe and think only southern section of this region with of keeping our lamps burning bright - its upper limit the Peace River coun- ly and the reflectors clear so that try, while the third extends from the others who ere in danger may be saved." When in conversation with others let us make it a rule to keep the talk off ourselves. If we are un- happy let us dodge around the fact. Sometimes when we have been pour- ing out our troubles we have had reason to be ashamed of ourselves when we have learned what a much heavier burden others are carrying the rag -weed Earns!, and the thistle than we are, It is the same way with jealousy, family.

No one Heart and mind thou cant not see, What seems to thy dim eye a stain, To God's pure sight may only be a scar Brought from some well -fought field Where thou would'st only faint and yield." Judge others as we would have them' judge us. We are so busy thinking about the unhappy things in life that we fail to see the beauties of God's nature. Many people at this season of the year go to the country where they could see the beauty of the summer time, but their minds have been so filled with unleapay thoughts that they have left no room for God's nature to enter in and they come back in the same frame of mind' in which they Went. One of the great causes of un- happiness• is idleness. If we want work and cannot secure it then this condition is pitiful, but if we are idle from ehoice we are much more in- clined to get into mischief and to do the things which will cause us to be unhappy. God has given us time. He has also given us the ability to make good use of it. The greatest cause of unhap- piness is living a life apart from God. He is a God of love and wants us to share that love with Him. All we have to do is to 'accept Him. If we do that all the forgoing causes of unhapppness will drift away and we will live in Eternal Happiness with Him. Won't you accept His love now? whether such juice loses its vitamin content. HABITATION A look of expectation seems to light The windows of the houses on our block Orange juice is one of • the best sources of Vitamin Q and this vita- min is so important to health that set over hot water until it separates ing before using it, will be interested to know that early reports that this practice meant a loss appear to be disproved by more recent research. In an investigation of the Vitamin C content of orange juice performed this year in the laboratories of the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, it was found that there was no apprec- iable loss of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in orange juice stored for 24 hours in loosely covered glass jars in a refrigerator at safe refrigeration temperatures of 40 to 60 degrees. It is clear, therefore, that fresh orange juice loses little Vitamin C potency on standing in the refrig- erator if the juice is kept in a cov- ered container to avoid access of air. It is also reported that there was no difference in t'he results of the investigation mentioned when the juice was strained through cheese cloth or through a wire seive.

Hay fever is caused by the irrita- tion to the mucous membrane of the nose and throat from the pollen or dust of plants and grasses by persons sensitive to such irribation. The of. fending' plants are trees, grasses and weeds, and the particular offender in a given case may be recognized by skin tests. Pollen or dust, to be effective an causing hay fever in sensitive persons. must contain an excitant to this con- dition; it must be capable of being carried by, winds and for considerable distances; the source must be abund ant and the plants widely distributed. In the'early spring, trees carry the causative pollens. Then come the grasses, say about June, and then the weeds in Autumn. Oa the American Continent the wind -pollinated trees are those carry- ing catkins, such as the poplar, oak, birch, walnut, beach, hazel and alder. Others are the maple, ash, hackberry, sycamore and mulberry. The willow pollen is the only one of these not carried by winds. Trees producing perfect flowers, such as the elm and mesquite, are also wind -pollinated. On the Western prairies, the poplar is the chief offender among trees and timothy is the worst of_ the grasses. Dr. Heber C. Jamieson, of Edmon- ton, writing in the'Canadian Medical Association Journal, defines the three hay -fever areas of the province of :'- -' sa 3' sl.

COTTAGE CHEESE FOR !SUMMER Cottage cheese is available at e reasonable price, but one does not have to depend on being able to buy it, because a good cottage cheese may be easily made in the home from the sour milk which the homemaker often has on hand during the• het weather.

How many el us spend hours in FLOWER ARRANGEMENT AN ART AND STUDY Consult an interested bystander on the subject of flower arrangement in America, and he would probably — from observation—list Nvo schools of thought. (1) The "what -in -the -world -do -I- do -with -these" school which then jams the bunch into the first vase handy. (2) The "arty" school which labors prodigiously, and brings forth a crea- tion appropriate only for an opening. Believing that the truth lies some- where between, a Hollywood writer consulted Joan Fontaine„ This young screen star was born in Japan, later spent' two years in school in Tokyo; so it seemed likely she had absorbed some of the Japanese genius for flower arrangement• She had. "Flower arrangement is a dare," said Joan. "No two flowers are alike, vases and rooms vary. To 'combine them correctly is a game, but the rules are so simple there ,are a thou- sand ways to 'play' yet still obey the regulations. "First, the flowers themselves.. Never use too. neatly; you ern see only a certain number of blossoms, and then only if the stents are different lengths. Fill your bowl without crowding. "Select tight buds and half -open blooms as well as full blooms. If the seed pods are decorative, you can use these. "Inn. Japan, women try to er- range flowers to look as; if they were. growing. So they, use but one kind of flower in a vase—a single spray of fruit blossoms, for example. Spring flowers, flowering shrubs, lilies many kinds of roses, rugged flowers like geraniums, and most large blooms may lock best alone. But claisies, delphinium, button chrysan- themums, zinnias, poppies, pansies, cornflowers— all combine' beautifully With other flowers."

Long-stemmed flowers, large blooms, must be placed in larger bowls; small flowers in tiny ones. Sturdy, old-fashioned flowers CML be put in crude bowls, scarlet geraniums are lovely in crockery that, looks like a flower pot." Once you have selected flowers and bowl, you.must "marry" them suc- cessfully. Joan: "If you are using but one variety of flowers, vary the stem length, try to achieve a pattern in the position of the various blooms, buds, leaves. If you are combining several Dowers of contrasting shades, mass the colours together — red against blue, for example or gold against purple. "Flowers and their bowls, must also match the room and bhe occasion. Larger, colourful masses are lovely in drawing rooms, large °hall -ways. But avoid too many flowers in any one room. For the dining table use low flowers in low bowls—and never, never place heavily scented blooms in a room where food is to be served.

Be careful not to overexpose. next larger lens opening. With a box camera,' on a sunny day, use the large lens opening for shots of in- dividuals and groups, and the small lens opening for scenic views. For shots of fast action, the fine camera is best—but you can also get good pictures with a box camera, if you are alert for momentary pauses in the action. These occur in most gaines or sports. Naturally, they don't happen during a dive—so with a slow camera you'll have to pose the diving pictures. Your subject eanhalt on the end of the board, id proper position to "take off" -and if he does itrealistically, the picture will be about as interesting as a, genuine action picture. If you possess a liner miniature camera in the 35 -millimeter or No. 828 size, by all means take a roll or two of full-color film along when you go to the beach or pool. Bright beach umbrellas, vivid costumes, ,,blue water, and 'golden sand make' these places ideal for full -Color pho- tography. And today, it's Just. about ea easy to use full-color film as to take pictures is black -and -white. 239 John van Guilder SWIMMING pools and bathing beaches are busy places in the summer time—and wherever there is activity, there's a field for your camera. Since you and a lot of rapid action at these places, the finer camera with east lens and rapid shutter pro- vides definite advantages. But if you use a trusty inexpensive box camera, you'll find plenty to occupy it, too. Among the things to picture are beach games, water sports, diving, children at play, sand castles, shad- ow hadow patterns on rippled sand, and— at the lake or the seashore—scenic views and sunsets. The chief thing' to remember, in taking pictures at the beach, is that sunlit sand and open water are ex- tremely bright. Therefore, expos- ures can be shorter than when map- ping pictures inland., With "chrome" type Slur, 1/50 -second shutter speed at 1.10 lens opening is sufficient for • a beach scenic, and 1/50 second at 1.11 suffices for average shots of in- dividuals and small groups.
