ac c to standard time -and were
you glad of that extra hour in bed
last Sunday? We find it much easier
to adjust ourselves when the thne
changes front fast to standard time
than when it is the other way round
-maybe because it is a whole lot
easier to sleep an extra hour than it
is to lose it. Yes, we really manage
very nicely until we get outside.
• That is when the trouble begins.
On D.S.T. we are often out to feed
the chickens before they are really
ready for their breakfast. On stan-
dard time the chickens are up and
looking for it and raising a regular
rtunpus because they think we've
forgotten them. Gathering the eggs
also has to -be sort of re -arranged
On D.S.T. the hens start late but
keep on laying well into the after-
noon. On E.S.T. we have to start
picking up eggs early because the
hens get most of their egg -laying
done in th forenoon. Then the
kittens come looking for their break-
fast and supper at what they think
is the usual time because no one
has ever yet found a way of snak-
ing the animals and birds change
their schedule according to the way
the clock is set. And isn't it strange
how much difference one hour can
make?
Saturday was our local fair and
or once in our lives we missed it.
1'he wheat is to blame for that. Our
men were on their second field, try-
ing to get it Finished before the
w, ek-end-and the fair. However
when the wheat was sown there
were still ditchs to run, You know
how it is -no good farmer is con-
tent to leave his field until it is
properly ditched. But, by the time
tie t was clone the rest of the
folk were coming home from the
fair. 1 suppose I could have gone
but I just didn't feel Bice it. Niece
Joy went on the seven bus that
morning so I was more interested
in getting my work done in antici-
pation of a quiet and restful week
end. And we had it.
I suppose we really missed some-
th;ng worthwhile because we heard
it etas a wonderful fair and it was
certainly an ideal day, Home baking
was very much to the fore so sugar
rationing didn't quite make the wo-
men forget how to bare.

Really, so.wetitnes' the way' one's
plans get upset is quite funny, After .
Joy had gone I said to Partner-
"Well, 1 suppose that sees the last
of our summer visitors. It's been
lovely having them, every one of
them, but now . ." And then I
went on to enumerate the• jobs 1
wanted to get done; the unfinished
work that was simply dropped when
Cicely arrived; letters that were still
to be written and various items of
business to be attended to that some-
how got put off until the time should
come that would see us back to
ordinary everyday life. Well, after
outlining my good intentions to Part-
ner I went down for the mail and
there was a letter from my sister
-"would it be all right if she came
up for Thanksgiving week -end." I
just had to laugh.

But so it is -we go on with our
ordinary, everyday plans; each with
our own special problems and our
little pet worries, so important to us
and yet how unimportant when we
consider what may be shaping up
from the tense International situa-
tion. It seems unthinkable that
there shoutd be another war but
then war never does seem possible
until we are right -in the middle of
it. No sane person wants war and
yet our war time effort is always so
much better than our peace time
activity. True, but illogical, don't
you think?
But then we are illogical about so
many things - little things, big
things, all kinds of things.

Just today I heard of a woman
whose doctor has warned her that
she absolutely must lead a less ac-
tive life. It is only one of many
such warnings to which his patient
hitherto had paid little attention.
She has always been an active wo-
man, always ready to help in any
social work; certainly she has no
wish to be a semi -invalid yet her
very actions are likely to bring on
the unwelcome condition that she
fears. Why consult a doctor at all
unless one is ready to take his ad-
vice. Of course most doctors know
that women patients are crazy any-
way. One medico said to me -"We
can always tell when a woman is
ready to take to her bed because she
always has to make a real job of
housecleaning first, arriving at the
hospital for an operation maybe,
tired out, and with all her reserve
strength used up."
Illogical -yes -but change the na-
ture of women you can't!

Miss Jones. "The telephone rings."

LESSON
by Rev. R. Barclay Warren
Law In The, Bible
Deuteronomy 6:50-25;
Leviticus 19:9-14, 17-18.
Golden Text: -Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God . with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy "mind. This is the first and
great commandment. And the se-
cond is like onto' it, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as-thyseff, --
-Matt. 22:37-29.
Jacob, his sons and their families,
-seventy souls in alt, -went down
into Egypt. - Four centuries later,.
after a period of great affliction they
emerged as r a nation more than a -
Million strong. Their leader, Moses,
by divine direction gave then a code
of laws. Many of these, including
the Ten Commandments are basic
to the laws of our nation.
Of all these laws, Jesus selected
the two given in the golden text,
and pointed to them as of supreme
importance. "On these", said he, '
"hang all the law and'the prophets".
Truly these are fundamental to
Christian living.
' John wrote,' "The law was given
by Moses, but grace and truth cattle
by Jesus Christ". The, law sets a
high standard to which sinful man
cannot attain. But by 'repenting of
our sins" and believing on Jesus
Christ we become new creatures.
"Old things are passed away; be-
• hold, all things are become new"..
God'i love is shed abroad in the
heart. Then we do those things.
which please Cod, not from fear
but fiom love; not because we must,
but because wethus desire.

Autumn
I took a day to search for God
And found Him not, but as I trod
By rock ledges, through woods
untamed,
I saw His footprint in the sod.
Then suddenly, all unaware,
Far off in the deep shadows, where
A solitary hermit thrush
Sang through the holy twilight
hush,
I heard His voice upon the air.
.At last with evening as I turned
Homeward, and thought what I had
learned
And all that there was still to
probe
I caught the glory of His robe
Where the last fires of sunset
burned.
