Once a year, when the glad bells ring, And the Old Year nods to a baby King, Fresh in our hands with the title clear And the leaves uncut is an Unlived Year. An Unlived Year! Ah,.stained with tears Is the well thumbed volume of other years! Soiled by blunders and black regret Are the pages we read with our eyelids wet. Close in our hearts as the leaves are turned Is the record of passions that flared and burned, Now laid away with our doubt and fear, As we open the book of an Unlived Year. Once in a year in our hand is laid, An uncut book by the Master made; It is ours to read with eyes that cling To flowers that blossom and birds that sing. Light and shadow, and hope that wakes Like a song in the heart when a glad day breaks; Dreams that beckon and ghosts that leer, Look out from our book of an Unlived Year! —Carey Holbrook, the year which is drawing to a close. We seem to take so many blessings as our right, without 'thought of thankfulness: We are far more ready to complain if anything is oris= sing which we feel we ought to have, or which we think would make us happy. But, whether we have had all that wethink. was coming to us of life's •good things during the year that is fast''passing, I feel sure if we are honest with ourselves that we will an - mit that we might have made a bet- ter success of living if we had put our- backs into it than We -have done. And in saying that I am speaking not only to, the lazy,careless ones, but to those of us who think we are very busy and useful. - SYMPHONY OF SNOW Within the room is the sound of music knd through the window I see snow falling. Here the• violin sings its song of sil- ver. There the snow beats immeasurable notes of white. Over and over the wind sighs the theme of winter. The iced branches sound the flute notes, The sea on the sharp rocks Has the bell tone of great horns of brass. In the 'stilled wind an icicle breaks With the thin sound' of a harp string. The high notes of the violin Are no more white than the snow falling.

But while we do not admit it to others few of us but recognize within our own Hearts when we fail of our high id- eals. We know, and sometimes 'we know why we have failed, and some- times we are too indolent to correct such failures and go on making them time after time. It might be a good idea this New Year's time: 10 resolve that we shall be at least ten time more critical of ourselves than we are of others; that we shall search diligently for mitigating circumstances before con- demning others' faults and that we shall endeavor to encourage instead of discouraging others with whom we come in contact.

Chilblains do not endanger life but they destroy happiness and, , may even ruin tempers at Christmas time. The feet suffer-most'frequetttly; often 'the hands are affected and sometimes the ears, Chilblains happen as a re- sult of poor circulationin the parts affected. Children who are in poor health are frequent victims. This may be due to defective circulation which ac- companies a low standard of 'nutri-' tion and vitality. ) The floors of stove -heated houses are usually cold. This is particularly true of the kitchen which has no cel- lar or anunheated cellar beneath it. The housewife who spends much- of her time standing on cold floors is likely to have chilblains. Tight shoes and tight stockings in- terfere with the circulation in the feet and so predispose to chilblains. - Thin shoes • and stockings which allow the feet to become chilled ' do the same= thing. It is just as bad if the feet and hands are dressed too warm- ly 'for -then they perspire- excessively to Secretor. ter become chilled. Enough has been said to indicate the lines of prevention. To begin with, general attention must be given to the health of the body. Next comes clothing suited to the tempera- ture rather than the season. Tight shoes and stockings are to be avoid- ed, and round garters should not be worn as they may interfere with the circulation. Woollen gloves may not be in style but they may still be needed to keep hands warn. The wrong way to treat cold feet REBEKAH Along The- Air Waves A CHRISTMAS LEGEND (Continued from page 2) a galaxy..of entertainers appearing at Montreal's great show place, Loew's Theatre. It is rather difficult to forecast just what td- expect from week to week but judging from a list Quaint and curious are some of the old monkish stories about the first Christmas. One of the charm- ing legends relates that at the mo- ment of the Nativity everything and everybody stood still. The birds paus- ed aused for an instant in raid -air, rivers ceased for the time to flow—in short, all movements of men and things everywherewere suspended for a brief space. The spells of witches and wizards suddenly became ineffectual —an idea which was, no doubt, at the root of Shakespeare's reference to Christmas time as - being so holy that then "no fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm." THE WIND OF DAWN With scented breath, the Wind Dawn Snuffed out Night's silver candles, And o'er the lake and valley strayed A nymph in silken sandals. The Wind of Dawn then placed her lute Among the lush green willows, Made music to the rose of day Then whimsied on jade billows, And with a low caressing note The Wind of Dawn then brushed away 0 PAGE'7` Care of Children Our Recipes for Today One ingredient given particular attention in the following recipes is the shortening; for on it every good cook knows that the colour and flavour of cakes and cookies largely depends. That is why thousands of Christmas cookie makers will choose and use butter in their baking, and why the Milk Utilization Service, Dairy Branch, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture specifies this superior fat in the following recipes: of some ori the past performance§, I The things that Time would make talent is there in all its array and 1 a dregnl— anlendor.

Are you not glad that those three Wise Men came too With gifts which were precious and hearts that were true. And there by the manger, the star overhead Gave each, to the Babe, as the story has said. Are you not glad that somehow, we too have heard The wonderful message contained in His Word; 0 -let us be grateful; to others show love Twill gladden the Heart, of the Saviour above.
