FAVORITE HMYNS
Father, let me dedicate,
All this year to. Thee,
In whatever worldly state
Thou wilt have me be;
Not from sorrow, pain or .care,
Freedom do.I claim,''
This alone shall be my prayer,
•.--:,"GlorifyThy name:"
Can a child presume to choose
Where or how to live?
Can a father's love refuse
All the best to give?
More Thou givest every day
Than the best can clairYi,
Nor withholdest aught that may
"Glorify Thy name."
If in mercy Thou wilt spare
Joys that yet are mine;
If on life serene and fair
Brighter rays may shine;
Let my glad` heart, while it sings,
Thee in all proclaim,
'And what e'er the future brings,
"Glorify, Thy name."
If Thou tallest to the cross,
And its shadow come,
Turning all my gain to loss,
Shrouding heart and home;"
Let me think how Thy dear Son
To His glory came,
And in deepest woe pray on,
"Glorify Thy name."
New Year's :.Day, falling on the Oc-
tave or eighth day in' Christmastide,
on which eighth day ;after His birth
Our Lord jesr.e Christ . was'circum-
cised' according to Jewish law, is OV-
lers'liauowed by the Festival of the
Circumcision. On that day when the
blood of Jesus was first shed, He
became a member of God's ancient,
and then only church, setting an ex-
ample' ofhumble submission to div-
inely appointed church rule for all
men to follow, and Christians from
early ages have made much of the'
Circumcision Day, in . order ,,rn pre-
serve the memory of His th,*1 be
• coming` "obedient to the Law for
men," at the beginning of Elis life of
hum'iliation,and'suffering upon earth.
But New Year's Day has its signi-
ficance also, even thotigh'it does be-
gin only a round of humanly appoint
ed months, weeks and days. Advent
is, we remember, the real New Year's
time for Christians, when we begin
our round of the seasons which cling
about the life of our Saviour Jesus
Christ, Advent, Christmas, Circum-
cision, Ephiphany, lent, Passiontide,
Good Friday, Easter, Ascension Day,
Whitsuntide, and Trinity time.. We
are not all spiritual yet, and our mor-
tality hangs upon days and years, and
the passage of the, months must al-
ways have a deep concern for us.
And so we cannot afford to leta new
round of natural seasons and days dis-
place an old round without giving
heed to its marking of the passage of
our life's time.
Hymn -writers, especially those of
modern times, have given us many
hymns for the New. Year, although
none of them have grafted themselv-
es so deeply into the affections as
have the Christmas, Easter, 'Whitson
and Trinity hyriins.
One of, the bestof the New Year
hymns is the one printed herewith,
the production of Rev. Lawrence Tut-
tiett, an English clergyman and hy-
mn -writer, born in Devonshire, ../lie
son of a naval' surgeon, in 1825. E`il-,
ucated in London, for the :medical
profession, he left the vodation to en-
ter the sacred ministry, and after due
preparation, was ordained to a cur-
acy in 1848. From 1854 to 1870 he
was vicar of Lea Marston in War-
wickshire, and in that latter year be-
came clergyman in charge of St. An-
dreivs, in the Episcopal Church of
Scotland, his abilities and success
winning for Tim a prebend's stall in
St. Ninlan s Cathedral, Perth, a few
years later. •
Prebendary Tuttiett published sev-
eral volumes of poems and two or.
three books of hymns. Many of his.
hyrnns are found in the hymnals of
the language, such as "Go forward,.
Christian Soldier," "0 Quickly Come
Dread Judge of All," "When the
World is Brightest," etc. As a writ-
er of hymns he ranks as useful and
scholarly, his lines running smoothly
and easily sung.
Our hymn was written for New
Year's. Day in 1864 for his parish in
Warwickshire and .was published in
the boob entitled "Germs of Thought
on the Sunday Special Services:"
Thence it passed into someof the
hymn books Within a few years, alter-
ed and shortened in some cases, In
some of the United' States hymnals

occasion. l
What tune the hymn was sung to
i
in the Warwickshire church h on New
Year's Day, 1864, we are not told,
but Sir George A, Macfarren compos-
ed a tune especially for this hymn in
1875 or earlier, at the request of the
compiler of the well known "Hymns
Ancient and Modern," and as might
have been expected from so eminent
a musician it suits the 'words admir-
ably, and if led by a strongy well'=
trained choir, is easily taken up by
an ordinary congregation. Sir George
who lived from 1813 to 1887, was
blind when he composed this tune,
having lost his eyesight in 1860. He
was celebrated as a composer of op-
eras and cathedral services, and wrote
a good deal upon musical subjects,
Several of his books being ,accepted
text books in musical institutions. He
was for several years professor in
and afterwards Principal of the Royal
College of Mttsic, London, Eng.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT CANCER
Cancer is one of the most frequent
causes of death in adults, after the
age of forty. In Canada, over 8,000
people die each year of cancer. These
facts and not presented to alarm the
reader, but rather to show that this'
picture can be brightened if the pub-
lic at large are properly informed on
this subject. •Just as soon as the facts
about cancer are known, and our peo-
ple act upon the knowledge which.
they have acquired, the number of
deaths from this disease will be re-
duced tremendously—to at least half
of what they are at present.
This reduction is possible; it is with
in our grasp; it does not await any
new discovery; it can be secured by
the use of the knowledge we now
possess regarding the means of com-
batting and conquering this menace.
Whether or not cancer is to be pro-
perly treated depends much more up-
on the public than it does upon the
medical profession. By this state-
ment, we simply mean that the degree
of success in the treatment of cancer
depends upon its discovery in its ear-
liest stages. The doctor stands ready
to treat, but it is not possible for him
to do for his patient what he could do
in the early stages of the disease were
the cause known to hips then.
Unfortunate: thei
Unfortunately inmndsofmany
people there is fixed an idea that ,can-
cer is a hopeless condition, and that
it is useless to run to the doctors a-
bout it. They have some reason for
this idea because they have seen rela-
tives and friends treated without suc-
cess. In most cases, however, the
reason why these treatments were not
successful . was because the patients
had failed to consult their doctor until
the disease was far advanced.
There is no reason why, at the pre-
sent Aisne we should not view the
cancer problem in a hopeful way. Ev-
ery person in Canada should know
that, where cancer is properly treated
in its earliest stages, a very high per-
centage of cases are actually cured.
Surely, such a statement should ban-
ish the hopeless "do nothing" attitude
and replace it by a confident "early
action" frame of mind.

Leo Vrooman, Maine man, dean of

key, who recently returned to the
17nited States.
"We have had at International Col-
lege more than 100 village people

keen about it, and it is an interesting
sight to see the elderly sitting side by
side with the youngsters, Next au-
tumn these `students' will go on to

"The Turkish people and the Gov-

the American ambassador, Joseph, C.

man reports.
"The Government is deeply intsr-
ested in pushing educational work in
Turkey. Because Turkey is primarily
an agricultural country, they are en-
deavoring to increase instruction in
proper methods of agriculture and
animal husbandry. 'Dry farming' has
become a good Turkish word: The

STUDYING DEAFNESS.
Partially Deaf Hear Much Better If
Pleads are Exposed to Light.
Two Viennese scientists have stat-
ed that persons who are partially
deaf hear much better if their heads
are exposed to light. This discovery
was made with the help of •a medical
Pamphlet more than 150 years old.
Towards the end of the eighteenth
century the University of Gottingen
offered a prize for a treatise on the
effects of light on the human con-
stitution. Two contemporary scien-
tists, who won the prize, found,
among other things, that light im-
proves the faculty of hearing.
The recent research work of the
Viennese scientists proved that this
assertion is correct. They experiment-
ed with slightly, deaf patients by
whispering words at varying dis-
tances. Then they exposed the heads
of their patients to powerful electric
light and noted an average improve-
ment
mprovement of 50 per cent. '
The improvement lasts as long as
the light is turned on, and ends, as a
rule, with the return of darkness. In
most cases the effect was only tem-
porary, but in some cases the patients
said they heardfor
better hours
afterwards.
The experiment failed when the
patients were blindfolded.
THE SWALLOW.
In Winter Migrates from France to
the Lesser Antilles.
An interesting link has been dis-
covered between France, and the
French island of Martinique in the
Lesser Antilles. A swallow habitual-
ly built her nest under the eave of a
certain house at Saint Avoid, near
Metz. The owner decided to try an
experiment, and shortly before the
annuals migration toward the end of
the summer attached a message un-
der the swallow's wing. This read:
"During the summer of 1927. I lived
with M. A. R. at Saint Avoid, and
when I return to him 1 am to let him
know where I have been in tiro
interval."
The swallow came back and bore a
fresh message homeward„which says,
"During the winter I have had my
nest on the house of M. Bady in the
island of Martinique, and he sends by
me his sincere greetings to my 'for-
mer host.”
Martinique being several thousand
miles in a, roughly, southwesterly di-
rection from Prance, this proves the
swallow to be as adept a transatlantic
flyer as the pilots and aerial naviga-
tors of to -day.
Weight of Clothing.
The relative weight of clothing
worn by men and women has been
made the subject of an investigation.
It was found that while the average
for a' man's suit was 5% lbs., ;a wo-
man's dress weighs from 14 oz.' to
about 2% lbs. Overcoats seemed to
average the same for either sex, the
usual weight being about six lbS. ` I
was interesting ' to discover that
though the weight of a pair of trous-
ers was round about two lbs.,' that
more airy garment the kilt turned the
seale at Just double the weight.'

MILK
The science of Dietetics has not
made as rapid an advance as some of
the other branches of Medicine, One
of the reasons is that there has not
been a sufficient number of experi-
ments from which to obtain absolute
results. Observations were made in
England of 500' 'school boys over a
period of 4 years. The observer wish-
ed to find out the result of food on
growth and weight. Tite same . ntini-
ber of calories were given but differ-
ent foods were added to the basic diet
and results noted. •
The boys who were given a pint of
milk each day gained an average of
6;98pounds yearly and the boys with
other foods made an average gain of
3.85 pounds. The average increase of
height was converted from 1.84 inches
per boy to 2.63 inches 'a . year.
The milk drinking boys not only
increased their weight and height but
when there was an unusual amount
of sickness among the boys, they es-
caped it entirely. They were much
more fit both mentally and physically.
Their generally fit appearance was
apparent to the casual observer;
The results of this experiment on
the colony of school -boys showed
that it was not the •number of calories
that was added to the diet, but the
special properties of the milk which
gave the surprising increase in'fieight
and weight, the immunity to disease
and the general robust condition.
There are a number of schools in
Canada, where the children get a half
pint bottle of milk at the morning re-
cess. It has been shown conclusively
that the children gained in weight,
and were in better physical condition
generally. Very often the child who
will not drink milk at home succumbs
to the delight of drinking milk at
school, out of a bottle with a straw.
Distribution of milk at school
means increased work for the teacher,
but I do not know of any class of
people, who are more ready to take
on 'extra duties for the benefit of the
children than the teachers. Their
work is inade easier in another way,
by the improved physical condition of
their pupils.
There are always some children
tally the Home a d School Associa-
I Hon look's after ter fntnranY
these, with-
out
l-
out the other pups knowing, any-
thing about 'it. Alt:h Hugh it is not al-
ways the children f am the poorest
homes who are hand -nourished. The
children who drink milk at home will
benefit from the added milk too. One
' :
child who always drank his quart rtof
milk a day at home put on pounds of
weight in,ashort time with the added
milk at school.
Those of us who are responsible'
for the feeding of children should see
that they get their qoart of milk each
day in one way or another. Adults
need a pint of milk each day (either
in their' food or as a drink) to help
them to pin and to maintain that
fit condition to which we all aspire:
COCOA
Somehow when the mornings are
cold most mothers like to start the
children off with a hot drink, ` This
is not necessary if they get a hot
breakfast, but necessary if not, most
of us like to do it. Children should
never get tea or coffee, so cocoa is
one of the most popular drinks for
the children's breakfast.
Cocoa, like a good many other foods
can be inade or 'marred, by the cook.
Cocoa contains some starch, ` and
starch should always be cooked: The
correct way to make cocoa is to add
a small, amount of water to the cocoa
and bring it to a boil, and boil for 3
minutes, stirring constantly, This
cooks the starch in the cocoa. Add
the required amount of milk and su-
gar and bring to a boil, but do not
actually boil the milk. When the co-
coa is for children it is advisable to
use mostly milk, but if for adults the
proportion of milk to water may be
lessened.
Add a pinch of salt to your cocoa,
as anything containing cocoa or :cho-
colate is improved by the addition of
salt.
Cocoa which is served at other than
breakfast, may have additions such
as a spoonful of whipped cream on
top of each cup. A few drops of van-
illa or a little cinnamon give a chan-
ge of flavour. By way of a change o-
mit the sugar, and put a marshmallow
inthe bottom of each cup, pour in
the cocoa over it.
Malted milk may have cocoa added
to it, and if made with milk is very
nourishing. There are several good
brands of ' chocolate malted milk on
the market. They are very quickly
who are unable to buy the milk. Us- prepared and sometimes children en -

Chocolate may be used in place of
cocoa. Cocoa has the fat removed
and for that 'reason is not quite as
rich as chocolate.
