'In Younger Springs, so poets say,
:.Folk spent the merry month of May
In dancing on the green;
We dare not so disport ourselves
'With cupboards, walls and pantry;
shelves
Awaiting their "Spring Clean."
'The maypole ribbons hang forlorn, ..
•Our grass -plot must be raked and
shorn,
Storm windows put away;
"While screens and awnings, ham-
mocks, chairs,
.And other spider -shrouded wares,
Regain the light of day.
'Though sun and wind, bright bud au'

To woo our souls from pail and broom
Their lovely utmost try,

•
Of course, it is the logical time and
no other would be quite as suitable,
for ,obvious reasons, but I have often
thought it a pity that, so much of the
lovely spring weather had to be used
up in housecleaning.
It does seem such a waste of a
lovely spring morning to spend it in
nosing through musty closets, shak-
ing out bedding, cleaning woodwork,
freshening up cupboards and washing
and wiping china and glassware,
some of which will not be disturbed
until next housecleaning time, when
one could bo out in the sunshine. The
great temptation is always to spend
as much time as possible on the out,
side work, dusting and airing cush-
ions, etc., anything, in fact, which can
be done outside.
But this housecleaning business has
- to be gone through 'with, and the
sooner the better. Also, it is very
much more comfortable doing it on a
fine day, when things can be taken
outside, given n good brushing and
left to air for a few hours. There is
nothing like air and sunshine for
freshening things and leaving them
sweet and wholesome.' The old-fash•i
Toned idea of keeping the sunlight out
of the house was .a very silly one. Let
in the sunshine, into every room. It
brings health and cheer.
When building a house care should
be taken to see that every room has
a chance for sunlight sometime dur-
ing the day. There are houses in this
town whose east or west walls are
devoid ofwindows, sone would think
they were built with the idea ,orf keep-
ing the sunshine out, which perhaps
was the idea. But nobody is silly e-
nough for that now.
Sunday is Mother's Day and no
doubt many a boy and girl; some of
them fathers and mothers themselves,
will take the opportunity ,of remem
boring mother. One of the very nic-
est things which anyabsent son or
daughter can do is to write mother a
letter; for Mother's Day. Such thought
fulness would be appreciated more,
in many cases, than the receiving of
a costly present. The mother loves
to feel that she is still loved by her
grown-up sons and daughters; that
she counts with them; that they think
of. her. And, while thinking of moth-
•
er, do not forget father. I have nevi
er been able to understand why fath-
er was not included in this day, he is
surely worthy of some thought, too,
and most mothers would be doubly
glad if the remembrance of her on
Sunday included father as well.
Personally, I've never really enjoy,

very beginning, ib has been so com•'
mercialized, and I've always had an

EARACHE
Earaches occur at all ages, but
children suffer more frequently than
adults. The pain varies from a dull
ache to an excruciatingly sharp one.
'There is no relation between the se-
verity of the pain and the gravity of
the cause, A. boil in the external
canal, whieh•is not as a rule serious,
causes a particularly severe pain,
while a dangerous inastoid may give
rise to nothing worse , than a dull
-ache.
Earache may be due to an irrita-
`tion or ,inflammation of the canal
which leads from the outside to the
-ear drum. Any foreign body which
lodges in the canal will likely cause
irritation. Children are apt to poke
'things into their ears and some of
these articles will swell with heat

"THE LIFE,
OF OUR LORD'
by
Charles dickens
CIIAPTI R THE SIXTH
Six days after the last Miracle of
the loaves and fish, Jesus. Christ
went up, into a highmountain, with
only 'three of the Disciples :Peter,
James and John. And while he was
speaking td them there, suddenly Ilis
face began to shine as if it were the
Sun, and the robes he wore, which
were white, glistened and shone like
sparkling silver, and he stood before
them like an angel. A bright cloud
over -shadowed thein at the same
time; and a voice, speaking from the
cloud, was heard to say, "This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased. Hear ye him!" At which.
the three disciples fell on their lcnees.
and covered their faces; being afraid.
This is called the Transfiguration
of Our Saviour.
Whorl they were come down from
this mountain . and : were among the
people again, a man knelt at the feet
of Jesus Christ, and said. "Lord have
mercy on my sans for he is mad and
cannot help himself, and sometimes
falls into the fire, and sometimes in-
to the water, and covers himself
with scars and sores. Some of Thy,
Disciples have tried to cure him, but
could not." Our Saviour cured the
child immediately; and turning to iris
disciples told then) they had not been
able to euro him themselves, because
they did not believe in Him so truly
as He had hoped.
The Discipes asked him, "Master
wlio is greatest in the Kingdon: of
Heaven?" Jesus called a little child
to him, and took him in His arms,
and stood him among them, and ans-
wered. "A child like this, I say un-
to you that none but those who are
as humble as little children shall en-
ter into Heaven. Whosoever shall
receive one such little child in my
name, receiveth me. But whosoever
hurts one of them, it were better for
him that he had a millstone tied a-
bout his neck, and were drowned in
the depths of the sea. The angels are
all children."
Our Saviour loved the child, and
loved all children. Yes, and all the
world. No one ever loved all people,
so well and so truly as He did.
Peter asked Him, "Lord, bow of-
ten shall' I forgive any one whir of-
fends mel Seven times?" Our Sav-
iour answered, "Seventy times seven
times, and more than that .For how
can you hope that 'Grog will forgive
raids, together with art eustachian you, when you do wrong, unless you
tubo which is comparatively short forgive all other people!"
and wide at that age. And he told his disciples this story,•

man, as his masterhad been to him,
he put him in prison for the debt.

him, and said "Oh wicked Servant;' I

he hod not done so, bis master turn-

of that part of the Lord's prayer,
where we say "forgive us our tress

Many earaches and ear troubles in
children would be avoided by keeping
the nose and throat healthy, by re-

noids and b',y the proper treatment of

and bye when it was later, he went
out again and engaged some more
labourers on the sane terms; and
bye and bye went out again; and sd
on, several times, until the afternoon:
When the day was over, and they all
came to be paid, those who had work-
ed since morning complained that
those hwo had not begun to work un-
til late in the day had the same
money as thensselevs, and they said it
was not fair. But the master, said,
"Friend, I agreed with you for s+
Penny; and is it less money to you,
because I give the same money to
another man?"
Our Saviour meant to teach them
by this, 'that people who have done
good all their lives long, will go to
Heaven after they are dead, But
that people who have been wicked,
because of their being, miserable, es
not having parents and friends to
take care of them when young and
who are truly sorry for it, however
late in their lives, and pray God to
forgive them, will be forgiven and
will go to Heaven too. He taught
His disciples in these stories, because
he knew the people liked to hear
them, and would remember what He
said better, if he said it in that way.
They are called Parables—THE PAR-
ABLES OF OUR SAVIOUR; and I
wish you to remember that word, as
I shall soon have some more of these
Parables to tell you about.
The people listened toall that
our Saviour said, but were not a•
greed among themselves about Him.
The Pharisees and Jews had spoken`
to some of them against Him, and
some of them were inclined to do Him
harm and even to murder Him. But
they were afraid, as yet, to do Him
any hartn, because of His goodness,
and His loolcing so divine and grand
although he was Very simply dres-
sed; almost like the poor people --
that they could hardly bear to meet
his eyes.
One morning, He was sitting in a
place called the Mount of Olives,
teaching the people 'who were ail
clustered round Him, listening and
learning attentively, when a great
noise was heard, and a crowd of
Pharisees, and some other people like
them, called Scribes, came running
in, with great cries and shouts, drag-
ging among them a woman who had
done wrong, and they all cried out
together, "Master! Loolt at this wo-
men. The law says she shall be
pelted with. stones until she is dead.
But what say you? What say you?"
Jesus looked upon the 'noisy crowd
attentively, and knew that they had
come to make Him say the law was
wrong and cruel; and that if He said.
so, they would make it a charge a,
gainst Him and would kill Him. They
were ashamed and afraid as He look-
ed into their faces, but they still..
cried cut, "Comie!' what say you Mas-
ter? what say you?"
Jesus stooped, down, and wrote
with his' finger in' the sand on the
ground, "Ile •that is wiithout. sin a-
mong, you,. let him throw the first
stone, at her." As they read this,
looking over ono another's shoulders,
and as He repeated the words. to
them, they went away, one, by one,,
ashamed, until not a man' of all the
noisy crowd Was left there; and Te
sus Christ, andthe woman, hiding her
face in her hands, alone remained.
Then said Jesus Christ, "Woman,
where are thine , accusers. Rath no
man; condemned Thee?" She ans-
wered, trembling, "No, Lard!" Then
said our' Saviour, "Neither do I con,
demn Thee, Go! • and sin no more!"

HE IS SO FAIR
"For Oh! the Master Is so fair,
His smile so sweet to banished men,
That those who meet it, unaware,
Can never rest on earth .again.
And those who. see Him risen afar,
At God's right hand to Welcome them,
Forgetful stand of home and land,
Desiring fair Jerusalem,
Praise God the shepherd is so sweet!
Praise God the Master is so fair.
We could not hold them from His feet
We can but haste to meet them
there."
AWAKENING
0 tiny voice of Spring,
So soft 'and sweet,
That calleth forth the flow'rs
Around my feet.
Slim golden crocus shines
Amid the grass—
Dear flower, tremble not;
I'll gently pass.
And drooping snowdrops nod
A fragile head,
For them the warm earth makes
A fragrant bed.
0- tiny voice of Spring,
So sweet and low,
That bids the sleeping earth
With beauty glow.

THE GIFT
So I have given you a life to live,
You wee _pink marvel, lying on my
arm.
Was it, I wonder, a wise gift to give?
What will you do with it? So
sinall and warm,
So marvellously helpless and so sweet
As yet I scarce can think you no:
a dream.
What, tangled paths await these
dimpled feet
When they grow strong and wilful?
If it seem
My gift is good I •ask you this return;
Let me be proud of this which I
have done!
Make you that life a clear white star
to burn,
Let the be glad I be you life, my
son!
-Ethel Brooks -Stillwell)
RESIGNATION
The stars are dancing up above,
And o'er the pond below,
"Life" is another word for "love,"
The breezes tell me so.
And so I blissfully await
Romance beside the garden gate.
The wood is crackling in the grate,
The children are in bed,
I wish Jim wouldn't work so late;
Still, kiddies must be fed.
"Life's work." I take my sewing
box
And start to mend some worn-out
sox. —Beatrice E, Godby,
THE SOWER
Rest, weary heart. Your work is
done.
The sown seed ripens in the sun,
The toil you gave; the care, the pain,
Have won to light the 'prisoned
grain;
And many labourers are come
Unto the gladsome harvest home.
But will the singing reapers know
Tho price you paid the debt they
owe?
And will they give you thanks and
praise
To cheer your solitary days?
They shall not need, It ,matters not.
For, in the harvest fields of love,
Wherein the holy reapers move,
Your fame shall never be •forgot.
Your soul hath wen through bar and
clod
Unto the, dazzling fields of God.

A MILLIONAIRE PAUPER
I'm supposed to be quite shiftless—
Never have a cent to spare;
Of the money men are making
1 have not corralled my share.
When I make an honest dollar,
Somehow it will never stay;
Someone alwgys comes ancl gets it
With a hill for me to pay.
Though I haven't any money,
Still, I rate a millionaire;
For I'm worth five million dollars
Have the assets, fair and square.
I' have Sonny --she's a million;
Sister's worth a million more;
And a million dollar baby
Croons and plays around our floor,
There is Mother -she's a million;
Couldn't spare her; she's a peach;
That's £our million. You can't buy
them
For a million dollars each.
And that million dollar baby
Has a'million dollar smile;,
That's the thing that keeps us going;
That is what makes life worts
while.
So I'm worth five million dollars;
It's as plain as it tan be,
I'm a nrillionare for certain
';When my baby smiles'•at me.
Some of us have only money
.Some have wealth beyond .compare
If wo'Il only count our assets,
Everyone's 'a millionaire.

That it may please Thee to give no

obedience of beloved disciples, to
take unto our ovum, every woman

We beseech Thee to hear us, good

That it may please Thee to touch
our hearts that we may behold our
mother in every woman; in women
who toil in the factories and on the
farms, in office and shop and home;
in women of alien race and foreign
clime, in women of every creed and
color and condition;
We beseech Thee to hear us, good
Lord.
That it may please Thee to excite
our pity for all mothers robbed of
their beloved sons by the hideous in-
stitution of war;
We beseech Thee to hear us, good
Lord.
That it may please Thee also to
lay upon our conscience the unequal
lot of the mothers of the poor, the
underprivileged and the unemployed;
We beseech Thee to hear us, good

That it may please Thee to kindle
within us divine discontent with any

We beseech Thee to hear us, good

That it may please Thee to hasten
the coming of divine society, when
