Keep our haughty passions bound;
Save us' from our foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep• us safe from every sin.
When our work of life is past,
0 receive us then at'last;
Night and sin will be ne more,
Wheel we reach the heavenly shore.

CELEBRATE WEDDING •
DAYS WITH PARTY
Last week the wedding anniversar-
ies of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Snelling,
Auburn, and Mr. and Mrs,. Charles
Snelling of Porter's Hill was observ-
ed at the home of the former neat
Auburn. There were about sixty
friends and relatives ' gathered for
the happy occasion, the time being
spent in dancing. Mr. and Mrs. John
Snelling were married 15 years ago
at Waterloo, the bride 'being Clara
Kirkconnell. The happy couple lived
at Mitchell for about six years fol-
lowing their marriage and then mov-
ed to Auburn where they have made
nary •
many friends who extended congrat-
ulations on their wedding' 'anniver-
sary. Their three children are Thel-
ma, Donald and Eleanor.
'Mr. and Mrs. Charles Snelling were
married ten years ago, The grooms
and b}'ides are brothers and sisters.
Their attendants at their marriage
were Mi'. and Mrs. • John Snelling.
They lived in the vicinity of Blyth for
some time and this year moved to
Porter's Hill. They have one daugh-
ter, Ruth.
It seemed a coincidence that the
bride's brother and his wife, Mr. and
Mr's. Kirkconnell of Auburn should
also be celebrating a wedding anni-
versary, also their tenth observance,
during the same week, so it was a
triple event.—Mitchell Advocate.
A MISUNDERSTANDING
Just the other day we overheard a
remark that is worth pondering. .A
little group was talking about the
practical help' the Eastern Provinces
had furnished the dried out areas in
Western Canada. Reference was made
to the cars of fruit andyegetables
and of clothing the East had sent out.
Something was said, too, about' the
work done by the church in support-
ing Missions and the sums that had
been contributed by Eastern minis -
tors to support their suffering breth-
ren in the dried -nut areas. A Western
youth was present and commented
somewhat as follows: "That's because
you have these things. .When I see
your fine bank barns and youri' splen-
did roads and the fine houses you live
iii and the good things you enjoy, I
cannot but wonder that you have not
done a whole lot more for the West
than you have done,"
An- old fanner replied: "Young
man, you don't understand. Those
buildings are not all paid for. Those
of us who have paid for the things
yoti mention are trying hard to get
the money back we invested in them.
I know this eoithnunity pretty well.
If the truth were known, you would
discover that a good many of us are
pretty hard up, A man's not well off
because he wears glasses or carries'
a wooden 'leg: These things are evi-
dences of his necessities. -These bank
barns are grim necessities. We sim-
ply must have them brat they come
out of our living. They are a. past of
our overhead that is malting farming
so difficult to make profitable.
You're jumping to. Conelusions — al-
ways . a, dangerous practice:"
We commend this farmer's remarks
to all Canadians. A farmer considers
himself well off if he is making ends
meet. If at the end of a ten-year
period he can get back in open sale all
he put into his farm premise's he re-
gards himself well off. If, in addition,
to this he and his wife receiveeach
one dollar a day in cash he thinks of
himself as well off. If in addition he
has, made five per cent on his' invest-
cent he thinks ofhimself as having
the world by the tail. The assistance
given the West grew out ofgood will.
and sacrifice.—Exeter Times -Advo.

last Friday in Toronto General Hos-

A MISERABLE PRACTICE
Not so- long ago a church's com-
mittee was holding a committee meet-
ing in connection with an anniver-
nary. Said one of the committee "Let
us tap Mackenzie King with an invi-
tation. If he, can't conte, he'll send
up a cheque." "If you tap hire, why
not tap M. F. Hepburn? He's a good
sport, suggested a second.
Accordingly the invitations were
sent. From one prime minister came
a dignified ,letter with regrets .that
he- could not be present on the- occa-
sion. From the other came a cheque.
About a dozen other public men
were similarly "tapped." ` •
Well, the whole practice.isa miser-
able one, particularly when it is car-
ried out by churches. There is neith-
er rhyme nor reason for this unfair
solicitation. It belittles the parties
asking for: the handout" and tempts
the solicited parties to add the addi-
tional sum unfairly demanded to
"Expenses." A. church that cannot
pay its way without holding up pub-
lic men should close their doors. Ag-
ricultural. Societies and similar bo. -
dies are in the same boat. Exeter

ries in her purse besides money, The
day the loss was advertised, the mon-
ey was restored to its owner.
Over near Barrie, a young lady
found a purse on the . street whieh
contained $54.15. She took it to the
newspaper office, handed it over, and
told the editor to insert an adver-
tisement and give the money to its
owner.
The peat week a boy of 14 was
walking rlown the streets of Barrie.
Ahead of him was atransient, poor-
ly clothed and possibly in a frame of
mind common to those to whom Lady
Luck has not been ]rind. He saw- an
objeot lying on the sidewalk and, as
if to show his feelings at the world
in general, ]ticked it out of the' way.
The Barrie youth saw him do- so, and
when he reached . the spot, curiosity
prompted him to loop at the object
and pick it up, It was a purse con-
taming $100. He took it home, gave
it to his parents, and they advertised
for the owner, who proved to be a
farmer of that district, .and who was
naturally greatly relieved at recover-
ing such a substantial amount of
money.
There is the classic story of Diog-
enes, a philosopher who lived about
400 B.C., and who is still pictured go-
ing about with a lantern trying to
find an honest man.
Such a procedure does not seem to
be typical of the world today, because
we have long' been told that "honesty
is the best p,oliey,"
It is.
The other day, Herman Rosenzwez
was a little-known tailor in New York
City. • A suit was brought to him to
be cleaned and pressed, and, before
proceeding` with the work, he went
through the pockets to remove any ob-
ject which might have been left there-
in. In one of them he found a wallet
which contained $1,598.
Returning the money to its owner
whenhe called for the suit, Rosen-
iveig was rewarded with a perfunctory S
"Thank you." C
