What is the result of .the working of tF{e soul? Thinldng. What is the "out- come of thinking.? Actions. All the work of our life therefore depends an our thoughts. We not only act with our thoughts but we see with them. • A thought brings with it a mental picture of its results, or at least it was meant to be that way. There are many times when we blind ourselves to the thought of what may he the outcome of our actions, with a result so disastrous that we regret it to the end of our days. We take many trips or it may be retake them just by, thought, The hard part of this is that the dis- agreeable comes before our•minds, as well as the beautiful. So often when infirmity or old age creeps upon us, hours, which otherwise would be weary or lonely, are filled by visual- izing happenings of the past. If it were not for thoughts, the memory of those whom we have lov- ed and lost would forever be blotted out. We could not re -live our child- hood hildhood with all its happy days and that of the patient care and loving protection of our parents 'and . our home life. 'Our school days would be a blank. In this connection would it not be a terrible thing for us if we' had nothing to fill our minds, but the thoughts of the present and the past few days. - Many of the books which we read and enjoy have scenes laid in lands which the author never visited, but whieh his thoughts, have brought him in touch with through reading. He in turn has made it possible for us to live in those lands for the time being. Reading is a subject which is well worth being dealt with in an article by itself, but the subject of thought. cannot be treated without touching on reading. There are at least two ways in which we may derive our thoughts: (1) Inspiration, (2) Contact with others and objects. A conscientious Bible reader, or for that matter a reader of so-called heavy literature, ere he or she begins. to read will ask God to reveal the meaning of the different passages. We find it almost startling how a meaning of some read and re -read portion will come to us. Have you made it a rule in your daily scripture reading to pray for a revelation of God's word. If not, give it a test, Once begun it will never be disre- garded, There is much in the Bible which we do not understand and never will on this Earth, but if 'we read His word prayfully, realizing that what is impossible to man is Possible to God, He will reveal to us what He wants us to understand. In this respect He has spoken to others from Holy Writ things which Ile has hidden from us. They have put their revelation into waiting. Thus we have Bible commentaries, articles and books on science, nature, astronomy, etc. ' We meet people, all are not the same, but .all leave some impression on our minds. As their thoughts, so are they. It is beauty of character and sincerity which we like to derive from those with whom we come in contact. Alas, that we should have thoughts of others and they of 'us which are anything but pleasing. We do not read to harbor these thoughts. By degrees and with God's help our minds can be filled with much better things. the -remark Was made "You wonder why God allows such things. He must have some season .for .it." In spiteof the countless prayers that have ascended to the throne of Grace He has seen fit to allow man to fight against man. God does not disregard our prayers and as those prayers were offered in the spirit of leaving it all in. His hands we know that there ie some lesson which the world must- learn from it ere He conies to claim His own. General Gordon has 'said "God rules all; and as God will rule to Hisglory and our welfare, His will be done." Let . our continuous thought and prayer. be "Right must and will con- quer." "The way lies hid in the morning mist, When we open our eyes at •dawn. We see not the' path our feet must tread, But we trust flim who Leads on, And softly whisper "He knows" We are weary and worn at even- tide. With many a failure and fall, But there steals o'er our Hearts the comforting peace 01 the love that understand all, And we trustfully whisper "He knows." --"PEG" ular fellow'.

But 'seems to know. >• • Edythe A. Bacon. —Barbara Northrop We gather news and information from people we meet. We like to co-operate with those who are inter- ested in the same things in which we are. Our thoughts are enlarged and our knowledge 'increased thereby. This may be along the line of some academic work or a hobby, but what- ever it may be may we make effort to increase our learning. Perhaps there is no better way of rutting thoughts together than by reading. We have read many in- stances of where boys and girls born in poverty and obscurity have risen to positions where they relay clo a great deal of good just by applying their thoughts, in other words, study- ing. So many people simply wait for something to turn up and thus spend their time in idleness: We can do about what we will with our minds. They are our ser- vants. During these days of exists we will have an opportunity to ex- perience the training of our minds. It will be hard to keep our thoughts on' anything but. war, but for our own good and the comfort of r others we must Strive to sc govern our thoughts that they will be clear, calm and useful to us in time of need. Upon receipt of the .news that the . dreaded conflict @f War had started HEALTH BEHAVIOUR IN SCHOOL • In Ontario's new program for ele- mentary schools, health has been giv- en a foremost place, Hon. Dr. L. J. Simpson, Minister of Education for Ontario in the last issue of "Health'. pointed out that in the new program the goal of health education will be health behaviour •—• "Not what the child knows about health but what he does about it." In the past, health has been mer- ely a subject for pupils to study as to be able to answer questions. Often a pupil would, pass a test with fly- ing colors but there 'Would be no improvement in his or her health. The new plan is to inspire pupils to do something about their own health. There will be regular checking of health habits to see that knowledge and practice go hand in band, along with a carefully planned course or exercises in physical training. The new program also implies daily, as well as annual or semi-annual exam- ination of pupils individually. By thrs means, diseases in their early stages will be detected, as well as deficien- cies in height, weight, hearing and sight. In making provision for greater attention to health, Ontario's iedu- ational authorities have revised values placed on different studies,' For eeaattplie, aairlthrnetic has long been given first place; now it will be in a possible fifth place of im- portance. "It has been all too cont= mon" says the Minister of Educa- tion "to find the fresh morning hours and at least thirty per cent of the day's working hours, as well as the bulk of home work, devoted to this study.» THE SENSE OF.EASTE Man tastes with his tongue while some animals, for example fishes, taste with the whole body. An in- fant tastes with the middle part of his tongue and an adult determines with the sides of his tongue whether food is pleasing or not, Food is tasted by means of the taste buds of which the cow has 15,000, the antelope 60,000 and man about 3,000. The whale has very few taste buds and gulps its food so quickly that it does not bother about the taste. Among horned cat- tle, taste is important, and they scrupulously select the grasses they like. We know f.ur distinct tastes: sweet, salty, bitter and sour. The sweet taste is perceived on the tongue the quickest, because the taste buds for swede are located at the tip of the tongue; then comes salty. and sour taste, Bitter things are• tasted at the back of the tongue. Taste can be regulated. Warm coffee requires less sugar than cold, because warmth is a stimulant to the taste buds. No matter how much, sugar is added to ice cream it will not seem too sweet, because when cooled the taate buds scarcely fune- ton. If the tongue is rubbed With ice, one fails to perceive differens tastes, a good niethod in taking bit- ter drugs. Taste is a fine sense. It can be trained. Tea tasters are able to tell theplace of origin of a tea after a single , tasting.. Wine tasters can tell from where a certain varety of wine came and also whether the grapes from which it was made 'grew in a sunny or a shady field, •teseter`et`ry`M•SM A,µ i Tested Recipes tr. FURTHER PEACH DELICACIES With a bumper crop of exception- ally fine quality peaches this season in Canada the following recipes, may be found to be of particular interest.

BAKED PEACIES ACTRESS' WEARS NECKLACE 'WO'RN BY FAMED STAGE STAR Rosemary Rogers, talented 0- B 0 actress, gave one of the finest radio performances of her career when she took the title role last week . in a dramatization . of the life of Mrs. Sarah Siddons, historic figure of the English theatre. Following the broadcast, which or- iginated itt the 0 B C's Vancouver studios, Miss Rogers confessed that her perforunance was inspired by e stage "prop"—a cheap, glass neck- lace which she wore during the broadcast, The sentimental value of this trin- ket is great for the necklace was worn manytimes by Mrs. £Rddons herself at the height of her fame on the London stage. • It was loaned to Miss Rogers for this performance by Barbara Trem- eine, well-known Vancouver actress, who was also in the cast. The necklace reached Vancouver by a long and romantic route. It has been in the possession of almost all the "greats" of the English theatrical world. Its present owner is Tremain Garstang,, Vancouver actor who is Miss Tremaine's hus- ban. He received it as a gift from Sir Herbert Tree. Although more than 125 years old, the necldace is in as perfect a con- dition as it was when it reflected the glimmer of the footlights during Mrs. Siddon's reign in the London theatre. • Peel 6 large peaches and arrange in a casserole.

"LIFE OF OUR LORD" SOLD AT NEW YORK AUCTION The manuscript of "The Life of Our Lord," which Charles Dickens wrote for his childeen, was recently bought at an auction sale for £1,400 by Mr. Philip Rosenbach, a well known New York collector. Mr. Rosenbach considered the price relatively cheap, as he has alrea6y paid 13,700 for the manuscript of the Haunted -Man, and 4 7500 for five pages of Pickwick Papers. Dickens devoted his summer holi- day of 1846 in Lausanne, Switzer- land, to writing "The Life of Our Lord," which is a straightforward narrative based on the New Testa- ment. When finished, he used to read extracts from. it to his young family- on Sunday afternoons. As the work was especially writ- ten for his children, Dickens did not have it printed. Not until 1934 was it published,, when it appeared in newspapers' throughout tihe world. It has been translated into 13 European and Oriental languages. The following extract Slows to what extent "The Life of Our Lord" reflects. the Dickens simplicity: "It is Christianity to do good al- ways—even to those who do evil to us. It' is Christianity to. love our neighbor' as oauself, and to do so all men as one would have them do to us. It' is Cluistiaiiity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in out own hearts, and never ma'\ke boast of them." . _ 1 - WE CANNOT CHEAT LIFE Every person gets out of life as much as he puts into it. Nature pays no interest and asks none. The man who puts in honest labour of hand or head, cheerfulness of disposition, an unselfish regard for his fellow men and a general decency of conduct is reasonably sine to receive in return the respect of his fellows, the affect- ion of his friends of whom he will have a goodly number, and if not great riches, at least a competence. The man who is lazy or indifferent in his work, sour and grouchy in his disposition, is dishonest, demands great consideration from others and gives little and that grudgingly to others, who has no regard for the concepts of decency, will be despised by most of those who know him, and will have few friends and they not dependable. - There is no way of cheating life. To get sweetness out of thisi life sweetness must be put into it, No sowing of ugliness can ever bring a harvest of beauty. That which men are reaping today is what they sowed yesterday. And today is the seedtime of tomorrow. CANADA AHEAD • SUITS MADE OF MILK `SKIM' THE MARI{ET New York Lightweight suite made from milk are on sale on Fifth Avenue. Mille -cloth is themost advanced of the food -fabrics. Skim milk is soured, dried, and dissolved in alkali containing metals and fatty acids. The resulting mix- ture is forced through tiny holes in platinum disc, and out comes a thread that holds together, which is' treated with chemicals to toughen it. It's called casein fiber. Milk -fiber has been made in Europe for three years. Italy reported a production of 1,500,000 tons• in 1937, and an exported production of 100,. 000,000 tons this year.It staged all exhibit of milk -fiber dresses at the New York World's Fair a few weeks° ago. Last December, two United States Government chemists obtained pa.. tents on a milk -fiber process, and an American firm is retaking it now. The new milk -fiber suits look like gabardine and have a smooth, cool int side surface. The fabric is washable and not very wrinkling. Canada may ,not be the most im- portant country in the world, but we'll venture to say that, for a coun- try with slightly over ten million of a population 'she has contributed more than her share of original ideas and inventions, which have been ad- opted by every nation of the uni- verse. The following are a few things that can be verified by existing historical records 1. Canada built and sent the first steam boat across the Atlantic. 2. Canada built and demonstrated the first oompound steam engine sit the history of the world. The effect of this invention was the doom of the sailing ship as a factor in ocean commerce. 3. Canada built and demonstrated the first railway sleeping car. 4. Canada built and demonstrated the first submarine telegraph in the history of the world, 5. Canada originated the idea of making paper from wood pulp. 6. Canada demonstrated the first practical electric railway in the his- tory of the world. '7. Canada built the world's first electric stoves. 8. Canada originated the idea of standard time, which has since been adopted by every civilized e entry in the world. 9. Canada originated the idea of the panoramic camera. 10. Canada originated Marquis and. other more recent wheats which have built up the commerce of the West, both in Canada and the United States, 11. Canada first isolated helium in commercial .quantities. 12. The idea of the telephone or- iginated in Canada, and the first long-distance trials of the instrument were made between Paris and Brant- ford. 13. Canada gave the world the idea of the all -electric radio. 14. Insulin is of . too recent date to require more than mention in this list.. ' 1 "1 can get the figures in a minute !
