Usually, when a .great trouble comes we are braced for it and usu- ally, ton, there are others of whom we have to take thought, perhaps to comforf 'and 'sustain, s+o we rise to the occasion and it may even be that we can come' through a trying 'ordeal" with a good deal of credit. But the little things, the trivial things, .such as somebody tracking in mud over e clean floor; dropping ashes on a well -swept rug; leaving a door ajar whiolr should be elosed; asking silly questions; making inane re- marks, re the weather, or any other thing as obvious, everyone has his or her peculiar weak spot whichWarne- body is sure to reach sometime and. then, beware! I. often say that we are only ,be ginning to learn to live when we must beginto think, of dying, which is, to my mind and I'm supposed' to be fair- ly logical, pretty good prdof that this life is mat all. We should be wasting a lot of precious time on pro- bation here if we cannot go on and 1155 ;some of the knowledge gained, often by bard experience; when we go .hence'. I firmly believe that we shall carry with us anything of val- ue we have learned during our earth; ly experience and be able to apply it to 'some mode of ;existance in the world laeyond. Oh, well, this is not what I started out to say at all. What I wished to impress On you, and upon myself, as well, is the utter foolishness of mak- ing oneself miserable over little trif- ling matters, using up a kt of energy which might be better expended up- on Worthwhile things, and making other people unhappy by our impate ience and our fussing, In some homes the father or the mother is very of- ten so short in the grain, is so easily "upset" that the nerves of the fam- ily are on edgethe biggest part of the time trying to keep thepn in good humour. But the least. trifle is 'e, nough to set them off; enough to make a whole fancily unhappy for hours. But how silly?. What is gained by such outbursts on `the part of any- body? ' Nothing! One loses in self- respect and in the respect of others! One renders oneself more open to the temptation the next time by giving way to a fit of temper or to a disapd pointrnent. We are going to have to meet these trifling annoyances as long as we remain on this earth and we night much better be endeavoring to gird ourselves up' to meet them calmly, with good temper, justice to others involved and with the dignity with which rational people should meet all such trivial things. We should have a spirit above allowing petty trifles to spoil our happiness. And_ it is just as true, that it is the little things, the trifling little every- day things, which make our happi- ness. Just as you can spread gloom and unhappiness by your frown, you can spread joy and goodwill by your smile. It is the little, friendly, neigh- borly act; the thoughtful service just at the right time; the cheery, encour= aging word which turns a dull day to a bright one and spreads the sunshine right into the heart. J3ut, as little acts make up the life, it needs kindly, thoughtful, loving hearts to prompt these kindly, loving deeds and words, for "as a pian thinket'h in his heart, so is he." We must cultivate the loving, thoughtful, unselfish spirit if we would radiate sunshine and happiness in our imme- diate neighborhood. —REBEKAH, 0 *1 (31,1.

Spring would not have been complete for them without some decoetion which could be called a spring tonic.

Sunlight and fresh air cleaning but 'p'" s ring ' cleaning is not are the real spring tonics and they With the coming of spring, as much time as possible should be spent in:the. epen air .and sunshine.

WORK A Quebec hen certainly put her heart into her work, according to a story eminating from, there. When she was dissected to find out why she had died just after laying a large egg, her heart was mysterious- ly missing. Then the egg was brok- en, and her heart was found in the egg. , CHAPTER THE FIFTH One of the pharisees begged Our Saviour to go into his house, and eat with him. And while Our Saviour sat eating at the table, there crept into the room a woman of that city, who had led a bad and sinful life, and was ashamed that the Son of God should see her; and yet she trusted so much to his geodness and his compas- sion for all, who having done wrong were truly sorry for it in their hearts that, by little and little, she went be- hind the seat on which he sat, and dropped down at his feet, and wetted them with her sorrowful tears; then she kissed them and dried them on her long hair, and rubbed them with some sweet-smelling ointment she had brought with her in a box, IIer name was Mary Magdalene. bblhen the Pharisee saw that Jesus permitted this woman to tough IIirn, he said within himself that Jesus did not know how. wicked she had been, But Jesus Christ, who knew his thoughts, said to Trim "Simon"--rfor that was his name— "if a man had debtors, one of whom owed him five hundred pence, and one of whom ow- ed hint only fifty pence, and he for- gave them both their debts, which of those two debtors do you think would love him most?" Simon answered, "I suppose that one whom he forgave most" Jesus told him he was right, and said "As God forgives this -wo- man so much sin, she will love Him, I hope, the mare." And he said to her, "God forgives you!" The com- pany who were • present wondered that Jesus Christ had power to forgive sins, but God had given it to 13inr. And the woman thanking Him for all his mercy, went away. We .learn from this, that we must always forgive those who have done us any harm, when they conn to us and say they are truly sorry for it. Even if they do not come and say so, we must still forgive them, and nev- er hate therm or be unkind to them, if we would hope that God will forgive us. After this, there was a great feast of the Jew, 'and' Jesus Christ went to Jerusalem. There was, near the sheep .market in that place, a pool, or pond, called Bethesda, having fire gates to it; and at tho time of the year when that feast took place great numbers; of sick people and cripples went to this pool to bathe in it, be- lieving that an angel carne and stir- red the water', and that whoeveu went in first after the angel had clone so, was cured of any illness, he or she had, whatever it might bo Armon;:+. these pooh` persons, was one man who had been ill, thirty eight years; and he told Jesus Christ (who took pity on him when he saw him lying on his bed alone -with no one to help him) that he never could be clipped m the pool because he was so weak. and ill that ho could not nvove to get therm Our Saviour said to hind, "take up thy, bed and go away." And he went away quite well. ManyJews sa* this; and when they .saw it, they hated •Jesus Christ' the more: knowing :that the •people; tieing taught and cured by him, would , not believe their; Priests, who told the People what' was not true, •and de- ceived theta. So they sad to one an•, archer • that Jesus Christkil- 1 be h led, because he eared.people on :the Sabbath Day (whioh was 'against their strict law) and because he cal - 1 led himself ,the Son of God. And they tried to raise enemies agairrat him, and to get the crowd in the streets to murder Him, But the crowd followed Hien where - ever he went, blessing him, and pray- ing raying to -be taught and mired; for they knew He did nothing but Good. Je- sus going with his disciples Over a sea, 'called the Sea of Tiberias, and sitting with them on a hillside, saw great numbers of these poor people waiting below, and said the apostle Philip, "Where shall'we buy bread, that they may eat and be refreshed, after their long journey?" Philip answered, `Lord, two hundred penny- worth of bread would not be enough for so many people, and we have none." "We have only," said another apostle—Andrew, Simon Peter's bro. ther—"five small barley loaves, and two little fish, belonging to a lad tvho is among us. What are they, a - teeny so many!" Jesus Christ said, "Let them all sit down!" They did: there being :a great deal of grass iri that place. When they were all seat- ed, Jesus took bread, and looked up to Heaven, and blessed it, and broke it, and handed it in pieces to the apos- tles, who handed it to the people. And of those five little loaves, and two fish, five thousand men, besides wo- men and children ate, and had enough and when they were all satisfied, there were gathered up twelve bas- kets full of what was left. This was another of the Miracles of Jesus Christ, Our Saviour then sent his disciples away in a boat, across the water, and said lie would follow them pre- sently, when he had dismissed the people. The people being gone, he rexnaineed by himself to pray; so that the night carte on, and the disciples were still rowing on the water in their boat, wondering when Christ would came. Late in the night, when the wind was against then and the waves were running high, they saw Ilirn coming walking towards them on the water, es if it were dry land. When they saw this, they were terrified, and arrear out, but Jesus said, "It is I, Be not afraid!" Peter, taking courage, said, "Lard, if it be thou, tell me to come to thee upon the wa- ter." Jesus Christ said, "Come!" Peter then walled towards Him, but seeing the angry waves and hearing the wind roar, he was frightened and began to sink, and would -have done so, but that Jesus 'took him b`y the hand, and led him into the boat. Then, in a moment, " the wind went down; and the disciples said to .one another, "It is true! Ile is the Son of God!" Jesus did many move miracles at - ter this hapaiened and cured the sick in great numbers: making the lame walk, and the dumb speak, and the blind see. And being again sur, mended by a great crowd who were faint and hungry, and had been with him for three clays eating little, he took from, his disciples aeveli loaves and a few fish, and again divided therm among the poeple who wore. four -thousand in number•. They obi ate, and had enough; and of what was left, there were gathered np se- ven baskets full. • " He now divided the disciples, and sent them into many towns anal v]li lages, teaching the people, and giv- ing thein power to cure, in the name of God, all those who were ill. And at this time He began to: tell their; (for he knew :what would happen); that he must one day go to Jerusa- lem, whei:e he would suffer a great Ileal, and where he would ,certainly be put to Death. But he said to them that on the' third day after ho was dead, he world rise , from he grave, and' ascend to Heaven, where he. would sit at the right band 'Cif God, beseeching God's pardon to sinners.

THE COMING: With a flutter lot wings in the dawn- ing, and llguid silver eries, The hosts of the air come winging from out of the southern skies, And as they sweep to the northward, Unerring they drop in pairs Into farmyard and• meadow and or- chard, seeping their last year's lairs. The bluebird flies in the vanguard.; ' darting in swift patrols, To herald the 'south wind's corning, whose .glory .bis song extols; Closely follows the robin, the tropic flame on 'his breast; ' Then the myriad hosts coma flinging. urged by some strange behest. To seek the plaao of their nesting chimney or yard or barn, In woodland, or fenespost, in thicket house -eaves or lonely barn; NO place is too mean or too lowly to shelter the homing 'throng, No .spot do they deem unworthy to bless with the gift of their song, Charles Grenville Wilsron. TORONTO'S CENTENARY For axle hundred years of oiir story', For the men who toiled and died,. For Toronto's dear -bought glory--, Our city and sur pride— For the gifts that Time's broad river Has borne en its moving wave, We yield high thanks to the Giver Of all things fair and brave. Prom Canada's far-flung spaces, From the Isles beyond the sea, The sons of old proud races Wrought here right royally; Now, welded into a nation, One tribute of song we bring, One solemn ,iub£ilat]:on, Ono shout, "God Save the Hing." The hours that are past''ars calling To the hours that are drawing near; The sound of their voice is falling On ears that are tuned to hear: They cry in a tone compelling: "Ye Wren Id the coming -days, Build strong Toronto your dwelling, And fashion her courts of praise!"

THE COMING OF SPRING In the dark days of the Winter, when the sun is keeping low, In the glitter of the hoarfrost, in the flurry of the snow, When the Sumner flowers have fad- ed, and the birds have ceased to sing, I can• hear a distant music ill the slicing of the Spring. For the flowers are only sleeping, and the birds will sing again. When the Winter clays are over, in the shining after rain; So I listen for the beating of the swallow's northward wing, For the blossom of the orchard and 'the music of the Spring. So the dant days of the Winter chill my life with; frost and snow, • When my Summer 'birds are silent and the lights and burning low; But 'I know: the days will lengthen, and the lengthening days will bring Skies of blue and fields of beauty am' themusicof the Spring. So I wait in patience,' hopin, ti1I the clouds havo passed away, Thinking of • the • bright tomorrow which will crown the darj# today; And my harp no more is silent, for my heart begins to sing For the flowers ate only sleeping, .and • • the toning of the Spring. - iHenry+ Burton in Great Thoughts, March number. IF I HAD A BOY If T had a boy, I would say to him; "Son, Be' fair •and square in the race you must run, Be brave if you lose and ,be meek if you win, Be' better and nobler, than I've ever been, Be honest and fearless in all that you do And honour the name I have given to you." I would make him a pall and a .part- nee of mine, And show him the things in this world that are fine. I would show him the things that are wicked and bad, For I figure this knowledge should" come from his dad. I would walk with him, talk with him, play with him, too, And to all my promises strive to be true. If I had a boy, T would want him to know • Ws reap in this life just about al we sow, And we get what we earn, be it little or great, Regardless of luck and •regardless of fate. I could teach him and show him the best that I could, That it pays to be honest and upright and glood. We would grow up together and I'd be a boy, And share in his trouble and share in his joy. We would work out problems togeth. er and then—, We would lay out our plans when we both would be men. And, oh, what Wonderful joy it brould be! No pleasure it life could be greater to me. --.Frank Carleton Nelson, COUNTY NEWS GODERICH: Samuel Mortlock of Holmesville won his case against the Hohncsville Co -Operative Cheese and Butter Co., Ltd., in County Court on Tuesday, when Judge T, M.
