ANNIE WATSON The snow lies deepacross the lea, A brave soul passed—put out to sea, Her life, so full of kindly deeds,'. Her jdy fulfilling other's needs. So at she trudged the second mile, Always found tin'ie to chata while, Her voice, her accent, both are. gone,' Thank God her influence lingers on. She sacrificed, she gave her best, How peacefully she looked, at rest. She courted not the praise of others, The needy ones she counted brothers The curse of war, she hated it. She planned, she prayed, she did her bit. Her life a benediction rare To those befriended over there. The town, the district, well may say, We're glad, we're proud, she passed this way. Her "No Surrender" spirit near, Her word would be=friend, dry the tear. I wish that I could put clown here A word that somehow would bring cheer To those, her "bairns", who now bereft V6i11 find life strange since mother left. '—JOHN BEATTIE COAL.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LENT The Lenten Season is a well planned period designed to lighten the strain of life. It is based upon reason and experience. It calls for release from excessive social occupa- tion, freedom from indulgences and a little more time for reflection and the consideration of the deeper meaning of life. This means broadening and en- riching life, making it real and shaping its course to a definite end. A quiet period in some church, a brief weekday, service now and then, an hour with the great lessons of the Master, then a prayer, and a finer vision of life is 'given. This is to the soul like setting up exercises to the body; it refreshes, stimulates. and sends us'out to meet the world and face -lei difficulties. Our short- ened lives could be lengthened and the real joys of life made more sat- isfying, if we would have periods where we give ourselves to regulated' and prescribed devotional practices, and thought for awhile about our souls. We have souls, even if at times we forget them, and they con- stitute the most essential part of our being. It is to recognize this fact that Lent is designed to be a season for surcease from non-essential things. Christ Himself, burdened with the greatest load ever carried—that of the redemption of mankind, stopped for a lengthened period and alone faced the greatness of His under- taking. Can we, facing life with its continual demands upon us, afford to do less?

Dear Beatrice and Bob— Now would you believe it, But a whole seven days have gone by Since you both began that smiling, And a happy twinkle in your eye. Oh Yes, you did surprise us When we learned' you two lovers were wed, And we're very sure you must have been The happiest couple London ever • had. Now they talk about blue Monday What. a ridiculously foolish thing to say, When a certain noble January Mon- day Turned out in such a sweet romantic way. In our midst Beatrice you have always been very willing to co-oper- ate and we have appreciated your cheerful disposition and your eager willingness to help in any worthy cause in our community. We are happy indeed to learn that while you are severing your immediate connections with us that your future home will not be too far distant. As you both know it requires two to make a home. All the tender senti- mentality we throw around a place is the result of the sacred thought that we live there with someone else. It is our home. The home is a tryst the place where we retire and shut the. world out—of all our blessings no gift equals -the gentle trusting loving companionship of husband and wife. You will find that the true harvest of your daily life is some- what :as intangible and indescrib- able as the tints of morning and evening. It is a little stardust caught in a segment of the rainbow which you have clutched. As we your many friends from I{ippon and the surrounding com- munity are gathered here tonight- we do most sincerely hope Beatrice, that your rainbow will shine forth with a true guiding ray so that the pattern 01 your life tapestry may be blended with soft shades of happi- ness, love and contentment. We hope the song "I love you truly" may be your theme song day by day and may hold a deeper meaning for yob allalong your future way. So here is something for your wedding and the. wish they bring your way is lust that you < both be happy forever and a day. Signed on behalf of yeti)" many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
