Shakespeare. It doesn't matter so much what we do or what we have in this world, al- though some people seem to have so anuch and some seem to do so much more worthwhile things than others, but it does natter a great deal what eve are. Sometimes' it happens that a man or woman may do a great many fine things, may be a very useful mem- ber of the community, but somehow their achievements do not get due acknowledgementkowing to the ilact that the doer•is the sort of person in whom the Goth nunity has no great confidence or may be of an ugly and spiteful disposition which repells 'people, and you often find that the really worthwhile accotnplishments of much persons, are discounted and belittled instead of being acclaimed and praised. I do not mean that people should cultivate a manner, whether genuine or not, •which everyone will admire, just to please the mob. I mean rath- er that we should endeavor to be lionest-to-goodness and really gen- uine ourselves, so that in spite of everything, even in epite of the fact, that we may sometimes feel obligee to do some things of ...which our friends do not approve, we .shall still have their respect. If we are that sort of genuine Per- sons and in addition. have kindly and sympathetic dispositions; which can overlook the faults of .others, know- ing our proneness to err ourselves, we shall seldom lack the genuine es- teem of many. Have you ever noticed who is most missed in a community when they leave it for another or when they pass on to the next sphere? It is not always the cleverest man or wo- man, nor the most successful in. worldly achivements. It is the man or woman who has been the most helpful, who was the most sincere and kindly. It is not the father who has gath- ered the •most worldly goods about hiss whois always the most sincere- ly incerely mourned by his family when he dies. .Indeed, the death of such an one is not always a sorrow• to his family at all, it may be a sort of re- lief. He may have been no sort of a companion in the true sense of the word to his wife and he may have made his children fear bion by hies sternness. His passing removes re- strictions to which his family have always had to submit and now they are gone and they begin to expand in a freer atmosphere, But when the man who has been no great success in a worldly sense, but has always been a true com- panion to his wife and a fond and understanding father is called to his long home there is genuine sorrow and his' memory is kept sacred by. his loved onest Material possessions are very useful, they may make life easier in many ways and may save us from anxiety over our future, But material things do not and cannot in themselves bring happiness. And nothing we can accomplish can make up for our neg- lect in cultivating a worthwhile char- acter. It is What we are rather than what we have or have done or leave undone which matters In the long run. ,REBEKAH jtei1th ei ice a OF TIIE' 6attabiatt ebirat Aoonritttiun J' I' and Life Insurance Companies in Canada.

KIRKW00D (Copyright) Alas there are very many persons in every community whose mental fare is unvaried day after day. These persons see the same persons daily, talk the same subjects daily read nar- This morning I bought a book for 10 cents—a book which I had already on my shelves—a book which I have prized for years. Ito tlitie is "Get- ting On In the Wlorld" and the au- thor is Dr. William Matthews, who '70 years or so ago was professor of rhetoric and English literature in the University of Chicago. The copy of the book bought this morning was published in 1872—which is 03 years' ago. I owned this book when I was a youth. It has stirring chap- ters such as Concentration, on One- ness of Aim; !Self-reliance; Origin- ality in Aims and Methods; Practical Talent; Business Habits; Economy of Time; Overwork and Under -rest; True and False Success. Undoubted- ly this book has influenced my life. It contained some verses which I remembered through the past 40 years: I give them to my readers: "Thee shall I do lest life in silence pass?" And if 11 do, And never prompt the bray of noisy brass, What needst thou rue? Remember aye the ocean depths are 4, mute; The shallows roar,' Worth is the ocean—Fame is' the bruit Along the shore. "What shall I do to be • forever known?" Thy duty ever! "This dict full many who yet sleej. unknown." Oh! Never, Never! Think'st thou perchance that they re- main unknown Whom thou knowist not? 13y angel trumps in heaven their praise is blown--, Divine their lot. "What shall I do to gain eternal life? "Discharge aright "The simple dues with which each day is rife?" Yea, with thy might. Ere perfect scheme of action thou devise Wiill life be fled; While he who ever acts as conscience cries, I ;Shall live, though dead. Those fine verses are surely worth ten cents! But the book's whole con- tents are enriching and stineulating. (fere is a class of book which .one, should own, not borrow. I say again, one should have com- panionship daily wilth those bigger than oneself ---4 with those of good manners and good minds, ' and who put yeast into one's mind — some- thing which will set up a fermenta- tion—which will swell the mind — aerate it. When I say this, I do not mean story • tellers. They have their time and place; but it is the teachers school again when I read books which tell me, in my mature years, about the wide, wide world and of the forces and factors which have made the world what it today and :what it .will be tomorrow. Reading beaks of the sort named by me makes me wish, vainly,. that I had used all 'the 40 years that lie behind me -40 years of adult age—to enrich my mind. I am made to see that I have wasted time sadly, and my desire is that young persons whom I am able to reach through my contributions to The News -Record shall use their time better than I did mine, Aly recom- mendation to you is: Choose some subject of genuine interest, and then read widely and long in relation to this subject. You will find the great- est possible enjoyment in such prac- tice, and you will have far more than Mere enjoyment; you will become a master of knowledge in relation to the subject of your interest. How would you like to put after your name the letters, "M.K."—Master of Knowledge? I close with this thought: Those who live in towns and on farms, where they have not the distractions —hi number and in degree — that those have who live in big cities, are advantageously placed to pursue studies of the kind I am recommend- ing. FAMOUS CANADIAN TRAIN CEL- EBRATES ITS -BIRTHDAY • Railways, '•like pings, commoners and quintuplets, have their birthdays and state occasions, and thus July 1st noted the thirty-fifth anniversary of the first running of "The Interna- tional Limited" train of the Canadian National Railways, which has been in continuous daily operation between Montreal and Chicago since July, 1900, and is still going strong! Dur- ing the 85 years "The International Limited" has travelled 21,715,760 miles, carrying approximately 2,- 5013;000 ,- 503 000 passengers on its 25,566 trips. Over part of the route there are se- vere winter conditions of frost and snow which render steaming diffi- cult and yet, despite. this annual handicap, the train has a record of 82.3 per cent "On -Time performance during the entire period. An 'International Limited" starts every afternoon from -Montreal, its opposite number leaving Chicago the sante evening, each train to traverse 854 miles between terminals. From Montreal the train serves large cen- tres such as Toronto and'London, and important communities in Michigan and Indiana. At Sarnia it leave the Canadian border to enter the St. Clair Tunnel and emerge at Port Hu- ron on the Grand Trunk Wlestern Lines of the Canadian National Rail- ways to continue its run to Chicago. Allowing for "dead time" caused by necessary station halts, the train maintains an average speed of 52 miles' per hour. To attain that aver- age and to take un time spent at stations for the movement ofpassen- gers, the transfer of Mails .and ex- press, the train must operate at a Innen higher actual speed with sprints of over 80 miles per hour, and there is a record of 87 miles per hour clock- ed off on certain portions of the line.

During the worst of the depression years the per capita consumption of pos`k ran from 88 .pounds in 1931 to 74 in 1933 and ;beef from 57 to 56. But in 1934, when things were better, the consumption of pork fell to 66 pounds andbeef rose to 68. It was the first year since the depression set in that the Canadian people ate more beef than pork. It was evident that, While pork might have been dearer in .the worst years, they could snake it go farther. ,Canadians eat com- paratively little mutton and: lamb. The per capita consumption is only six or :seven lbs. Andyet lamb ' ane mutton, next. to f'owl, is nue best meat to eat. Apple juice is probably, the most readily available raw material for vinegar making in 'most parts of Canada and cider' vih.`egar Is, titere- for,e, mote widely made in the home than 'other kinds.

THE GIFT It came to me unheralded at dawn, Enwrapped in tissues soft of pearly mist, And tied with sunbeams. One by one The folds, touched by an unseen Band, Drifting apart, revealed the hidden treasure; Then I heard the Gong of birds, Alumni's of myriad prayers, thanks- giving, praise. It was a good and perfect gift. One more new day. --William Boyd Allen, -- • HAD HAD HIS SHARE The editor stood at the pearly gate, His face was worn and old; Ile meekly asked of the man of fate Admission to the fold. "What have you done," S7;. Peter asked "To seek admission here?" "Oh! I ran a country printing plant On earth for many a year." The gate swung open sharply, As Peter touched the bell. "Cone in," said he, "and take a harp You've had enough of — er trouble." — From an Irish. Ex- change. MY QUEST Be frank and fearless. Where thy foot hath been Be not afraid of aught but self and sin. Leave footprints firm and sleep to lead the way For other's feet along time's treach- erous day. Turn on thyself the searchlight ere thou sleep That no scant -featured unbidden creep Within thy soul's arena and abide For one short night. Whatever may betide Keep clean , and white the pages of, thy inner life, However keen the sword -blades and the strife Of days when sin lies wounded and apart-- Go part-Go on to victory, wavering human heart! The goal is worthy of the race to run- There is a goal beyond time's changing sun— To conqer andd to win, be this thy y quest•, Pear not but self and sin within thy breast. • --George Klingle. HAVE A HEART' (Open thy mouth for the dumb. Prov. 31:8.) When going on your holidays To have a real •good time, Don't leave your cat behind you, For that would be a crime. Remember that poor pussy Needs food and drink as well, And so the way' she'd suffer Is more than tongue can tell' So don't neglect your poesy, Don't let her' starve to death; Rem embers the, 'GAM G'reatot' Pias given' to all .things breath. For how can you be happy Knowing pussy has no home And can't get even garbage Or even a butcher to give a bone? Net even a drink of water Unless God sends some rain; Chased and abused and hungry And her body reeked with pain'. - How often poor pussy suffers By folks who have no heart; Now don't be one of the cruel kind, But please just do your part. And don't forget your pussy; You'll find it sure does pay To be kind to all 'God's creatures That came across your way. —Bella Gray. A WORD OF PRAISE I wonder why we are so prone to censure and to blame? Can't we forget the faults, and seek for virtue and acclaim? I wonder why we always see the flaws and faults alone? Are there no virtues there? And are the faults worse than our own? 0' let us give a word of praise to those who daily plod; That word may be the ray of hope that lights a soul to God.—Anon, I WILL I will start anew this morning, With a higher, fairer creed; I will cease to sit repining ' O'er my ruthless neighbor's' greed. I will cease to sit repining When my duty's call is clear; I will waste no moment whining, And my heart shall know no fear. I will look sometimes about me For the things that merit praise; I will 'search for hidden beauties That elude the grumbler's gaze; I will try to find contentment In the paths that I must tread; I will cease to have resentment When another moves ahead, I will not be swayed by envy When me' rival's strength is shown; I will not deny his merit, But P11 strive to prove my own. I will try to see the beauty Spsead before me, rain or shine; I will cease' to preach YOUR duty, And !be more concerned with MINE. Author Unknown. HANDICAPPED A very short man entered the big gymnasium and nervously approach• ed the instructor. "I want you to make my aims longer," he whispered. "Do you think you can do it?" The instructor looked puzzled. "But they ate in proportion!" he exclaimed.

HELP PREVENT FOREST FIRES THUS SAVE YOUR OWN PROPERTY Last year the carelessness of campers caused more than a thousand forest fires. These fires burned aver millions of acres of beautiful forest land that can never be replaced. This year let's be more careful. Just three simple precautions suggest- ed by the Canadian Forest Service will kill the chance of your camp fires spreading into a esdistrous holo- caust: 1. Select a location for your camp fire with the smallest quantity oe dead wood, low-hangieg . 'branches, brush, dry leaves or resinous trees. 2. Clear the space selected for your fire by removing all such combustible material from the soil for a radius of four or five feet 3. Exercise every precaution to seethat the fire does not spread and stake sure that the fire is out before you leave it Doose water on the ashes and be certain that every spark is extinguished. As an example of contrasts. ;of cite mate in Canada, the spring on .the Vancouver coast has not . only been late and cold but also very dry, 47 days prior to June 11.
