and the opposite extreme in winter;
therefore, deep rooting should be en-
couraged. This may be accomplished
by digging the soil to a depth of
eighteen inches, and enrichening the
subsoil either with peat or barnyard
manure.
Those who have studied old world
methods of gardening will probably
have noted that deep, preparation of
bite soil is .a cultural practice used
even with many annual crops, and
it seems to provide results offered
by no other method. Digging to a
depth of eighteen inches is a lab-
orious process, however, and will
probably be avoided by many. The
necessity for humus is emphatic, and
it can best be added before planting
in the form of well -{rotted barnyard
• manure. When manure is not avail.
able peat is an excellent substitute,
but will '• be rather expensive where a
large border is planned.
Colour schemes are sometimes de-
sired but this necessitates extensive
knowledge of ,plants, and beginner
will probably derive more satisfac-
tion from a border of nixed plants
with various flowering 'seasons. For
best effects varieties should be
planted in clumps of three or more
and straight lines or gradated
heights avoided as much as possible.
While the tallest plantsshould bete -
ward the back of the border, an oc-
casionaI clump of the taller ones
may be interplanted among the low-
er -growing varieties to relieve the
monotony of a too even view, A
number of the spring flowering
plants bloom early, and for this rea-
son they may be planted almost any-
place in the border as their period
of blooming is aver before the taller
proving varieties have attained e-
nough height to hide them. Among
the early varieties that may be used
for this purpose .may be mentioned
Goldentuft. Wbllcress, Perennial
Candytuft, Bloodroot, and Leopard -
bane. This list is by no mesas com-
plete and the above varieties are •on-
ly a few of the real early flowering
sorts.
Planting should be done carefully,
as slipshod work may mean the loss
of the plants. All plants should be
well firmed, because this eliminates
the risk of drying winds reaching
the roots. The sail is sometimes
rather dry at this time of year, and
such being the case all plants should
be watered immediately after plant-
ing and a mulch applied to prevent
evaporation of moisture. Besides con-
serving moisture, a mulch will pre-
vent heaving of plants during sea-
sons of alternate freezing and thaw-
ing weather. For this reason a mulch
is recommend whether the soil is
wet or dry.

HALLOWEEN
This mystic eve, when witehes are
abroad,
And dismal ghosts do haunt the
quiet road;
When grim hobgoblins' dance around
the fire,
And wicked dreamsbring warn-
ings stern and dire;
When black cats prowl and owlets
try to sing;
When gates run 'off and feneeposts
take the wing;
When everything puts en another
face,
And nothing stays in its appointed_
place—
'Twere better not to walk alone, I
ween,
an such a night as this, All IIat-
lowe'en!
—By Bambara Wallace.
Hallowe'en is always a time of
merriment and of fun and when the
fun is innocent and no harm is
meant to anyone we ought to ecour-
age it and not pour cold water upon
'it. Let the young folk enjoy them-
selves, :
And if the Iittle boy or girl, who ie
•allowed to stay up a bit longer than
usual, comes in from the adventures
tired and inclined to be rather cross,
do not be impatient, it is all in the
way of life's experiences. 'Well do'
I semember visiting at a home one
Hallowe'en when a little five-year-old
was allowed to go out with some old-
er children for a little while in the
early part of the evening. She would
have been terribly disappointed if
she had not been allowed to go, but a
short time sufficed. She could not
run as fast as the older ones and she
soon became, tired and disillusioned
and came weeping to. her mother.
The mother was a wise and loving
one and she didn't scold her and tell
her that it was just as she expected.
She took off the wee maiden's fan-
tastic dress and the false face which
made her look so like a little witch;
she bathed her and comforted her
and put her happily to bed, and in
the morning, such is the resiliency of
childhood, the wee girl had forgotten
the unhappy experiences and only re-
called the happy incidents.
It is a lucky child who has at wise
mother, who understands and knows
how to really comfort hurt little
hearts and make them well and
happy again.

Fall Planting of Perennials
Generally speaking, fall is the 1..!
deal season for planting most peren-
nial flowering plants. This is espec-
ially true from the standpoint of soil
conditions, as there is yet warmth e-
nough to promote healthy root action
and the moisture content is net
high enough "to make the soil pack
too hard when walked on. Many peo-
ple consider spring is the only season
in which planting can be successful-
ly done, with the results that they
find such a pressure of general work
:at that season that all intentians for
new plantings have to be omitted.
With the exception of tender var-
ieties all spring flowering peren-
nials should be planted in the fall, If
they are planted in the spring, flow-
ering is often delayed for a full year.
As perennials occupy the same
ground for a number of years, it
would be well to remember that the
time and labour spent in thoroughty
preparing the ground before planting
time will be the best possible assur-
ance of success. Perennials have to
withstand extreme heat in summer

The Common Bond
Being the Popular Report of the
British and Foreign Bible
Society for 1935
The title of this report is very
suggestive, the Bible, "The Common
Bond" between the nations. In his
third Popular Report the Rev. Jahn
A. Patten, M,O,, M.A., Literary Sup-
erintendent of The British and For-
eign Bible Society, has very effect-
ively told the story of its work dur-
ing another year, tracing the history
of the Bible as "The Common Bond"
through the ages. His chapters are
entitled: "The Bond of .the Trans-
lated Word"; "Servants of the Com-
mon Bond"; "The , Power of the
Common Bond;" and "Our Share in
the enterprise."
There are many literary'allusions
and extracts from relevant prose and
poetry. Perhaps nowhere is there at
better parallel of "The, Common
Band" of the Bible amidst diverse
peoples than the experience the So-
ciety has had in its distribution in
the Dominion of Canada. The bock
tells of the gracious ministry carried
on for many 'a long year by the So-
ciety in Canada and Newfoundland,
and the following extract gives some
intimation of how .the presentation
of a portion of Scripture makes "A
Common Bond" in a Dominion where
at least 100 different languages are
spoken today:
"Not very long ago a secretary
was speaking in a large Mennonite
meeting in Saskatchewan, and In
the course of his address mentioned
Russia, He noticed an old man in
the front and when his beloved land
was mentioned the tears• coursed
down his cheeks. At the 'close of
the meeting he told the secretary. the
'moving story of how he had left his
Bible behind amongst his Mennonite
brethren in Russia, for he knew they
could not easily obtain another. And
then he added a tribute to the So-
ciety as he told in broken English
of going up the plank in Sairit John
and being presented by an agent of
the Society with a Gospel in his
Mother tongue, and then he knew he
had entered -a land where. the. Bible
could be read, and where he; would
have freedom) to worship God."
Very interesting reference is made
in the book to the Jubilee celebration
and to the daily practice of • King
George in reading a chapter. from
the Bible in aceardaneea with a Pro-
mise made years ago to Queen, Alexe
andra. •Olose beside this reference

Ali through the report there runs
the note of certainty that in spite
of all appearances to the contrary,
the Bible is, and .may increasingly
become, a bond of .brotherhood and

Stress is laid on the necessity to
strengthen this "Common Bond" by
the widercirculation of the Scrip-

AN AUTUMN SONG
Through noisy mint and crowded
street
I softly steal my way;
What care 1 for their fevered beat?
I seek my holiday.
I know where purple asters grow
And sunny hollows wait,
1 know just how the west winds blow
O'er fields all desolate.
I know where scarlet maples light
Their beacons en the hill,
I trace the bright leases in thele
flight
Through woods all dark and still.
Safe hid within soma sheltered spot
I idly lie and dream,
The ra,{le speech of the world forgot,
3 .talk with tree and stream.
So, let the old, mad world go by,
I know a quiet' way
Where, brother -to the wood and sky,
I find my holiday,
—Florence Jones Hadley.
MAN MUST HAVE HELP
A lamp is but the sad, small way
A man has found to take home day
Wlhen night is coming. Trust a man
To save what sort of day he can..
He has no light inside his brain
To burn like fireflies in the grain.
He cannot go like little beasts,
Lit froom within them, to his feasts.
Oh, love has not the need of eyes,
But man has tasted being wise
And must have help to make his bed,
Being .friends no mare with dread,
He must have help to make it clear
That there is a deity called Fear,
Old, everlasting, bent above
The sad importance of his love.

Now let the rain sweep over hill and

And fill the lake. Nowlet the seeds

Fall from flower and tree. This is
such a rain
As wakens whitecaps, woos the trees

Makes the sad leaves remember by-
gone
ygone sun,
And sap of youth; washes them once
more green
As at their birth, that they forget
the dun
Days coming and their death, and
what winters mean.
I have been happy. Let the -wild rain

Rocks from the hillsideand uproot

On dreary summer eves
When silently the timid moon
Kisses the sleeping leaves,
And all things through the fair hush-
ed earth
Love, rest --phut nothing grieves,
Better I like old autumn,
With his hair tossed to and fro.
Firm striding o'er the stubble -fields
. When the equinoctials blow,
When shrinkingly the sun creeps uls
Through misty mornings cold,
And robin on the orchard hedge
Sings cheerily and bold; .
While heavily the frosted plum
Drops downward on the mould;
And as be passes, autumn
Into hearth's dap does throw
Brown apples gay in a game of play,
As the equinoctials blow, •
Wlhee the spent year its carol sings
Into a humble psalm,
Asks no more far the pleasure
draught,
But for the cup a balm.,
And all its storms and sunshine
bursts
Controls to one brave calm—. I
Then step by •step walks autumn
With steady eyes that show
Nor griefnor fear, to the death of

While the equinoctials blow.
