For five years this over -smart pup
Chasing agent has been a sort of

he couldn't get a job, he became a

Love is without a doubt the finest
'word in any language. Love wel-
comes the newborn babe into the
home; love guards us through our
childhood days; on through - our
yqung manhood and young woman-
hood; •through 'mature life and old
age, and in most cases love closes
our eyes in death.
Even when we forsake our homes
and become slaves to sin, the love
of our 'parents will follow is and
their prayers ascending tb the throne
of God will reach Him on ourbelralf,.
•Sometimes a mother or father will
pray for years for a wayward son or
daughter, and it may be that that
parent has been. long :in the Glory
Land before the prayer is answered
and 'the erring child is, by the love
of Jesus Christ, brought into the fold.
We know from our own experience,
that if we love a Person, we tot :a
certain extent' grow like them. We
should always bear that in mind and
act in such a waythat we would be
willing that others should copy us.
Not. only our good dualities,. but
also our sins will 'show up ruder the
love of others.
The only love which is worthy of
the name isthat love which will over-
look faults in others and which -will
always uplift. A false love, if such
it might be called, will always hunt
the weak points in some one else and
dwell on then until mountains are
made out of nothing.
How unlike that is the love of our.
Saviour, whose example in love we
should try to emulate and so become
worthy followers of Him whose name
is love.
Sometimes I think that it is harder
today to retain one's integrity and to
build un a fine character than it was
in the days of our grandparents.. Our
temptations today are stronger than
those of a past day—except it May be
in matters of sex temptations. But I
am not so sure of this. Our young
women dress more provocatively
than did our mothers; and there has
grown up a widespread belief that
free love is all right. .Our magazines
and even our advertisers magnify the
appeal of sex.
One of the dominant temptations
today is Play. Why, there are.'far-
mers today who will leave their
fields, even in the midst of harvest,
to go playing, This is a consequence
of the motor car.
,One man with whom I' talked re-
cently said, "Nobody stays home now-
adays. Nobody is at home. Every-
body seems to be always away from
home," and it was he who told me of
farmers known to him who went a-
way to play right in the midst of
harvest.
The world has not changed in this
respect, namely, money is always -cm-
gently required by every family and
by most persons, for the ordinary ne-
cessities of everyday life ---food, shel-
ter, clothing, education, and for in-
surance, and such things. It may be

'DIPHTHER•IA CAN BE
PREVENTED
Diphtheria is caused by the poison
or toxin produced by the diphtheria
germs lodged in the human body, Us-
ually in the throat and nose.
When this toxin attacks the body,
the hitter seeks to protect itself, and
it does so by producing diphtheria an-
titoxin or anti -poison, which counter-
acts or neutralizes the toxin. If this,
occurs quickly enough and a sufficient
quantity is produced, the body wins
and recovery results. Not only does
recovery take place but something
happens inside this human body which
enables it, in most eases, to prevent
a second attack of the disease.
Can protection similar to that con-
ferred by one attack of the actual
disease be gained without the danger.
of death and without „fear of the
suffering that comes with the dis-
ease? The answer is "Yes."
Diphtheria can be prevented by the
injection of diphtheria toxoid or tox-
in -antitoxin. This method is known
as diphtheria immunization. The in
icetions stimulate the body to produce
the substances which are the fight-
ing forces against diphtheria. These
substances are not developed at once;
it takes several weeks for this to oc-
cur, but after the development has
taken place, the person is immunized
or protected against diphtheria, just
as. he would have been had he had an
attack of the disease.
The menace of diphtheria can be el-
iminated. Lives can be saved and suf-
fering prevented. Ask your family
nhysician to give your children this
i,rolection by immunizing them n
gainst diphtheria.

The Manse, Redwine, Sask.,
August 23,1937.
To the Editor:
Dear Sir; -In these days of dust,
drought, wind and grasshoppers,
many people are asking: "How are
the people of the drought area stand-
ing up under the sledge -hammer
blows that -Nature ` has dealt them
during these past eight,years? What
keeps them still standing on their
feet, looking with hope toward anoth-
er year? What keeps them from los-
ing heart and giving way to dark
despair? What keeps them from
going insane as they look out on bar-
ren fields for the eighth successive
year? What gives them courage as
they stand amidst their worn out im-
plements and decayed homes, • their
bare cupboards and threadbare cloth-
ing, and whispers to them: "Try a-
gain'?" My answer to all these ques-
tions, an answer that I have found to
be very satisfying, is found in one
word, and that word is GOD,
I am glad to find that my answer
is corroborated in a little poem en-
titled, "My 1937 Prayer," written by
Gertrude Wood, President of the Ob-,
thorpe Associate Sociey, Saskatche-
wan. It is a poem that breathes the
spirit of Faith and Hope, Courage
and Cheer, and finds "through Faith's
clear eyes that God is Love."
'It is in the hope that this .little po-
em may prove a blessing to many,
the package in which it, was purchas-
ed.
If a whole small cheese, or part of;
a large cheese; is bought to be stored
in the home, are. must be taken to
nreveut drying out or the develop-
ment of mould. A good plan is to
cut a small portion from the cheese
and wax the cut surfaces of the re-.
lnainder with a coating of paraffin
wax, applying the melted wax with a
small brush. When stored' in a cool,
well -ventilated, dry 'place, cheese so
treated will keep in perfect, condition
for some considerable time. The por-
tion cut- for, immediate use should be
covered and kept in. a cool dry place;
When it has beenconsumed, another
portion can take its plar••e, and the

CARE OF CHILDREN
THE NINETY ANI) NINE
There are ninety and nine that safe-
ly lie
In the shelter of the fold,
But millions are left outside to die
For the ninety and nine are cold,—
Away; in sins delusive snare,
Hastening to death and none ,to
care,—
For the ninety and nine are cold.
`Lord, 'Thou hast here Thy well-fed
sheep;
Are they not enough. for Thee?"
But the Shepherdtmade,;answer "Mil-
lions sleep
On the brink of eternity,—
And
these My sheep within the fold,
Care not for the dying in sin's strong-
hold, -
Care not .for the dying outside the
fold,
On the brink of eternity.
But none of the ransomed ever
knew
Howthe heart of the Shepherd did
yearn;.
Nor the travail of soul that He pas-
sed through
For His sheep -without concern,
For no other way had He to reach
The millions on earth, His way to
teach
The millionsonearth except through
each of His sheep without con-
cern.
Lord, help me to forget the bare
brown fields, ,
Storm -tortured, dry, wind .swept, ber-
eft of yields.
Let me not watch the stock dejected
pass;
The sloughs are dry as rock; there is
to grass.
Let me not think all day of garden
plot
Where dusty ridges play, but plants
are not.
Let me but see the trees, their leaves
are green
And birds still nest in these and sing,
serene.,
Help me, to raisemy eyes for this is
June,
See white puffed June -blue skies and
hum a tune,
Though as I gaze dust clouds -a yel-
low pall—
Sweep upl and with dim shroud en-
velop all.
Yet Lord, my heart must rise these
clouds above
And find through Faith's clear eyes
that God is Love.
With such a spirit of Faith to help
them, the people of the drought area
will emerge triumphant.
Gratefully yours,
(Rev.) J. T. Gawthrop.
Ah, ninety and nine hast thou heard
His Voice?
Forth then to the work so great;
Beyond Wets 'span there is no choice
For those outside the gate,
If they're brought at all, it must be
now- .
Then ninety and nine don't question
how,
Oh sheep of Mine, go quickly thou
Else for them—and you—loo late.
But all through the churches, apos-
tate -riven,
And up from the worlds (rough
steep,
There'll arise a glad cry to the gates
of Heaven,
"Rejoice, I am finding My sheep!"
And the angels shall echo around the
throne
Rejoice for the dying the way are
shown,
Rejoice for the Shepherd brings back
His own
His wandering perishing sheep.

"Lord, whence are those marks in
hands and side
And whence the scars of Thy feet?"
They were made for those for whom
I died,
Both saved and wandering sheep.
'!Lord, when wilt Thou come to claim
Thine own?"
Not till the wandering, the way are
shown,
Not till the wandering, My Word
have known,
My wandering dying sheep."
THE BETTER WAY
If we always think of the future,
The days and the years ahead
With the possible griefs and troubles
We are ever in doubt and dread.
Better to live in the present
And gather what good we may;
With trustful hearts for tomorrow,
And strength and will for today.
