After a soul is prepared for', loath by being fortified by the lest Sacraments of Holy Mother Church'— end the prayers for the dying are said by?,those gathered around the bedside, this Christian' soul Often hesitates at that particular ntantent to face death. Why? Why does that soul hesitate? Because, lie comes to the realization, that the things of the' world are not worth. while. Nothing counts now, but what he leap merited for Eternal Lite, No- thing is tett but the bond of human affection and love, that tie, that binds us to our family, a husband to his wife — a lather or mother to his sons and daughters — brothers and sister's to parents. It is love, that binds us tothis earth. After all earth- ly goods are gone: What is left ? Nothing but this love for what is human life wjtltout it? Finally, •the moment conies when the soul must go on its way. The' prayers of the loved ones are heard and whispered in the cal• of the dy-, Mg. It is at that very moment that the soul needs prayers for that mod mens he is dead. Don't, stop praying now. Keep on for this soul mast ap- pear before the judgment seat of God, where blessed or not blessed, happy or unhappy, willing; or unwill- ing, he must be judged before a Sup- reme Judge to be rewarded for his good deeds and punished for the evil neatened for, The story is told about a good and faithful monk, who, when on his death -bed seemed so sad and dissat- isfied. When asked whether he was afraid to die after living such a good religious life, he answered, "Afraid to die? Yes, but what I .fear most is the judgment." Every soul must be judged by a General and Particular judgment. The General won't affect us too much. It is the Particular Judgment we are concerned about and which will hold the greatest fear for us, When does it take place? It takes place the mo- ment the soul leaves the body. with the last dying breath. You may say. "Isn't that sudden?" No! for haven't you had a lifetime to prepare for this very moment? Why did you wait till Judgment clay? Where does this judgment take place? Wherever you May happen to be: Whether on land or sea — in the air or under the earth, at home or abroad — in the hospital or on the battlefield — at work or at play. It doesn't matter, for a good Christian there is nothing to worry about. He knows he deserves a reward and pun- ishment and he is glad and ready to accept both. In the body before us of Peter Eckert you will realize such an ex- ample of a good Christian. He was a kind and loving father to his child- ren,: a faithful and devoted husband. - ti loyal and faithful member. of St. Coluntban s Parish for a good many years and we will all miss hint be- cause he was so loyal and true. Brim before you the pietm•e of the Crucifixion. Christ between the • good •thief. Dienias, and the unnamed mur- derer. who reproaches Christ in sneer- ing.'sarcastic•. and blasphemous words to save him and Himself, if He be the Son of God as He claims to be. Christ refuses to answer hint. Then the penitent thief - speaks wherein he asks for pardon and nrer,'y -- forgiveness of sin and a remembrance when He, Christ. conies into His Kingdom, Christ answers him immediately for Christ can't re- fuse a sinner's humble plea for par. cion. "Amen, Amen. I say to thee This day thou shalt be with Me in Para- dise," The simper's plea for mercy has been answered. And if Peter Eckert could speak to you now — he would address his answer to you, his loved ones, and his one wish would be a repetition of the penitent's plea, "Remember me, loved ones, when I go to that king- dom, the land beyond the grave." , May his soul rest in peace.

HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR APPLICATION FOR CANNING SUGAR This year housewives must estimate in advance the amount of sugar required for canning and jam -making, so that arrangements may be made to provide and distribute the necessary supplies. Applications must be sent in to your Local Ration Board by April 15th. Use the application in your uew Ration Book for this purpose. Canning sugar will be allowed for all ,fresh fruits, including citron and wild fruits. Marrow, tomatoes and pumpkins are considered as vegetables and no canningsugar will be allowed for them. CANNING Allow 1/2. lb. of sugar for each quart sealer. Estimate the TOTAL number of quart sealers you plan to put up —then use the quick, practical method of allowing 1/ lb, of sugar for each quart sealer. Don't try and decide exactly the num- ber of each kind of fruit you plan to put up. Some fruits may be more plentiful than others. Base your estimates on the number of sealers ,you have on hand, ivlpat you put up last year, or what you think your needs will be this year. dna Your completed ap• plication must be sent to your Local Ration Board by JAM or JELLY MAKING Allow 11/ lbs. of sugar for each quart of jam or jelly. Most people use jars of variou, shapes and sizes. Take a num. bei of the jars you usually use and see hoe mans: cupfuls of water they hold. Four (4) cups make a quart. In this way you will be able to estimate the number- of umberof quarts of jam or jelly your jars will hold. Then allow 11/1, lbs. of sugar per quart for your requirements. For example, for 8 quarts of jam or jelly, you will require 12 lbs. of sugar. Estimates based on these methods are within the canning sugar ration, and the amounts are satisfactory for wartime canning and lam and jelly making, as proven by test in the • Dominion Department of Agriculture experimental kitchens. Mrs. Jones has decided that her canning programm will be 40 quarts of fruit of different kinds. Sh allows one -hall pound of sugar for each quart, an therefore will need 20 pounds of sugar for cannin She decides that site will put up 0 quarts of jam and jelly. She allows Ph pounds of sugar for ear, quart of jam, and therefore will need 9 pounds o sugar for jam and jelly making. Site adds the two amounts of sugar together (20 + 9) and writes the total (29 pounds) on her application, together with the number of persons she intends to feed in her own household. To her own fully completed application form she attaches the application forms of the other persons in her household she is planning to fetid, Only the in- dividual serialnumbers need be given on these accompanying application forms. e d 0 g. b In estimating your canning and jam -making requirements, storage space should be carefully considered. Poor storage may cause spoilage and waste. Canned fruit should be kept in IMPORTANT NOTE The Dominion Department. of Agriculture recommends canning fruit in preference to making jam or jelly because: More fruit can be put up with less sugar and at less cost. Canned fruit retains more of the vitamin value of the fresh fruit. WHEN AND HOW CANNING SUGAR WiLL BE MADE AVAILABLE When your Local Ration Board has re- viewed your application you will be pro- vided, sometime before June 1st, with special emitting 'sugar coti)rons. These cou- pons will entitle you to buy sugar, at any grocery store, at specified intervals. You do not have 'to buy all your sugar at once. COMPLETE AND SEND IN YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE APRIL 15 Complete your application form as. shown in the illustration and mail it to your Local Ration Board not later than April 15th. Attach the application forms from the ration books of the other persons you will be feeding in your household. Do not write any thing but the serial numbers of the owners on these other forms. Simply copy the ,serial ,numbers from the front of their ration books on to their application forms and pin them to your own fully completed application. a cool, dry, dark place. Don't use canned fruits on your table when fresh fruits are available. Plan to use your home -canned fruits in the winter months only.
