How • true are the words of Tennyson, "More things are wrought by•pray- er than this world dreams of." Our Lord gave us a pattern for prayer. We too often glibly repeat it with- out entering into the spirit there- of. In this prayer we conte in rev- erence as a child to his 'father. Yet. it is not "my Father" but "our Father." We belong to a great fa-' roily, Our first petition is not for self but for God's Kingdom, We ask forgiveness, recognizing our own obligation to forgive. The golden text is a decided challenge. The knock of importun- ity will procure for us all that we need. God can distinguish our needs from our wants. He will supply the former. Prayer is com- nsunion with God. In the last part of the lesson we have a glimpse of the prayer. of in- tercession. Too many professed Christians never get past, "Lord, give me." But the growing Chris- tian is burdened for the welfare of others. Paul was such a man. He lived to serve. The world needs more intercessors: more people who can pray the fervent effectual pray- er in behalf of others. "Prayer is the soul's sincere de - Ore, Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 0 thou, by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer thyself haat trod: Lcrd, teach us how to pray!" YOUR TURN NOW A club of eccentric young meta had for one of their rules that on Tuesday evenings any ratan who ask- ed in the clubroom a question which he was unable to answer him- self should pay a fine of ten shill- ings. One evening Tomkinson ask- ed: "Why doesn't a ground squirrel leave any dirt around the top of his hole when he digs it?" After some deliberation he was called upon to answer his own ques- tion. "That's easy," he said. "The squirrel starts at the bottom and digs up." "All very nice," suggested a mem- ber, "but how does it get to the bottom?" "That's your question," answered Tomkinson. UNBLESSED EVENT ^ "Henry, darling," she murmured. "I hardly know how to tell you, but—soon—soon—there will be a third sharing our little love -nest." -"Sweetheart " he cried. "are you certain:" "Positive," site replied. "I had a letter front mother this morning saying she's corning to live with tis next month." Nine -Story Story—It was just like an episode ,from "The Perils of Pauline." The heroine was four -rear -old Karen Weller, who fell 100 feet from her ninth -floor apartment win- dow, While Karen was rushed to the hospital, her distraught beau, Brian Cundclan, paced. the sidewalk with his colleagues. The happy ending caste when doctors declared Karen miracu- lously uninjured. Karen and Brian clinched in the final scene and !iclan's cowboy pal, at left, provided extra atmosphere by eating popcorn throughout the drama. "Dear Anne Hirst: I alis in love With a married man and I don't know what to do. "When I met tout a year ago he wasn't living with his wife.

"I date another boy who is all a girl could ask for, Handsome, pleasing personality, a good job. He wants me to marry hint. But I don't love hint as I do the other man, "What shall I do?

I lis- tened. What I heard was something like the whirring of machinery. "What on earth " I began. "IVateb the oak tree," said Partner. So I -watched, Soon I noticed the tree was absolutely alive with star- lings—and they, of course, were responsible for all. the noise. A lit- tle farther away another tree had also apparently been selected as a meeting place and the birds began flying back and forth front one tree to another. I never saw so many starlings in all my life—and conte to think of it, it was the day after the smoke haze had cleared away, so maybe even the starlings got somewhat confused. \Ve are also thinking the smoke was indirectly responsible for the sudden arrival of the lovely autumn colours. The smoke prevented the sun's rays from reaching the earth so we got cold weather and frost and that automatically decked out the trees for us in colours of red and gold. Logical, isn't it? What- ever the reason the country is really beautiful , . . it would be nice to drive for miles and miles through wooded country t.1though actually that is hardly necess..ry for us because we have scenery within a ten -mile radius of home that would certainly be hard to beat. This has been a busy week and even now I have hardly got my bearings, as it were. I was away front home for two days and im- mediately afterwards came our local fair—also daughter and a friend arrived from Toronto. It was a wonderful day for the fair and from all accounts it gets bigger and better every year—which speaks well for the Fair board responsible for the complicated business of or- ganizing the show. Unfortunately for me, by that time I was slightly under the weather and so was not able to go , . and I did so want to see the Women's Institute exhi- bits, However, even if I did not get to the Fair I was compensated to a certain extent by a caller who arrived while 1 was alone with a huge armful of gladioli, Most of ahem I put in tall containers but one stalls I used as an experiment, breaking off the blooms and ar- ranging thein in a bed of foliage es the flori-t had shown us in her demonstration the week before. The result was very effective, Well, well—again the main worry with housewives seems to be flies. Flies that had taken to their winter quarters have now come out of hiding to bask in the bright warm sun. And now they are out they are so stupid all they can do is flop around and bus until they pretty nearly drive you crazy. So we have flies in the house, and if we go out- side to escape them we are imme- diately confronted with a cloud of gnats. As for cobwebs—it just seems that spiders you don't even see spin webs while you wait either indoors or out. So it loolcs as if everything that creeps, crawls or flies is out to enjoy our Indian sum- mer. Oh yes, it is certainly grand weather but 'already farmers are beginning to look anxiously for rain. Never satisfied, are we? But after all, when you have spent days and days working up a field, and have bought fertilizer and sowed your wheat, you do hope for a little co-operation from the weatherman, don't you? But if things art not going your way you can forget your worries .for a while if you have. something interesting to read. That is what I was doing last week—digging into a very interest- ing book where I learnt some sur- prising things. It was "Life Among The Doctors" by Paul De Kruif and I was particularly interested in a chapter describing the research work of Dr. Alvin F. Coburn—a Naval 1.1.0. in the U.S.A.—in con- nection with rheumatic fever. Ap- parently research has brought to light a strange fact—that while all sore throats do not develop into rheumatic fever, yet all cases of rheumatic fever that were investi- gated revealed that there had been a certain type of sore throat before- hand. Then it would clear up and for two weeks the patient would show no sign of sickness. Then a sudden flare-up and he would be down with rheumatic fever. Dr. Co- burn began experimenting with diet and it was found that patients given as much as 8 egg -yolks a day fol- lowing the sore throat did not de- velop the fever. The next move was to discover what there was in egg -yolk that prevented infection. Research was well under way, sup- ported by the Kellog Foundation, when it was suddenly withdrawn. Dr, Coburn could not carry on without money so, unless there have been discoveries since this book was written the riddle of the egg -yolk is still unsolved. But there is nothing to stop anyone with a sore throat eating egg-yolks—they couldn't do nearly as much harm as might be caused by swallowing a whole lot of patent medicine.

Alien and D, Blyth $30,000 apiece for going to the clogs. They are professional dingo (wild dog) destroyers, and their average bag is 50-100 a week. They are paid a basic wage of $40 a week, ten dol- lars camping allowance, and $5 for each skin they bring in, for no claims are allowed unless some part of the animal is produced. For theist the job is not difficult, but for the average city dweller it would be impossible. Dingoes worry sheep and cattle, and each year frill or maim tens of thousands, They are extremely cunning, and if they know that a hunter is on their trail they evade him. But these two Hien have been schooled in every trick the dingo can produce. As the dingoes roam over a wide area, traps and gins are useless, and the only way to exter- minate theta is - by tracking theist down and shooting—often at night when the animals are moving fast. Thus, both Allen and Blyth have to be marksmen of a high order. RELIEVED lit ll IFF. And the RELIEF IS LASTING For fast, prolonged relief front,.,__ headache get INSTANTINS.
