The Rev, Robert Murray has given us some sound hymns, one of them, "Sow the seed beside all wa- ters" being typically Canadiaii, Dean I'atridge, Canon Welch and a few other Canadians have also written. hymns, but none which have yet won very wide acceptance, though kindly disposed committees have given them lodging, for the time, at any rate in denominational Canadian hymnbooks. It is curious in some respects that in the great testing time of the Great War, the only Canadian hymn used at all commonly by our soldiers, as having a special appeal to something within, deeper than any denoniinat ional bias had centered, was "What a friend we have in Jesus!" This simple little hymn, which r bears the marks of extreme devotion votion to the blessed Saviour and of strong faith in Him, was given' to the world Are we weak and heavy -laden? Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our 'refuge! Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do 'thy friends 'despise, forsake thee? Take it ,to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He'll take and shield thee; Thou wilt -find a solace there. Canadian Christianity has made its contribution to hymnody. Consider- ing the pioneering character of the work . to be done by the Church in• atoning merit of the sacrifice and death of Jesus' Christ, All his money gone in seeking to heal the wounds of humanity, he ;found pleasure in working as a labor- er for the poor or afflicted.

His father was Captain John Scriv- en of the Royal Marines, who lived in County Down, Ireland. His 'mo- ther was sister to an • English vicar, the Rev. Joseph Medlicott who par- ish was in Wiltshire. He was christened Joseph after his mother's father, having been born in 1819 or 1820 probably at Seapatrick, Ireland. Joseph and his two brothers were all graduates of Trinity College, Dublin. About the time rof the rebel - ion in Canada, which wasalso the year of the accession of Queen Vic- toria to the throne, Joseph Scriven.

It 'was decided, however, after two years of military training, that he was not adapted "to Indian life, andhe. went back to Dublin to complete his col- lege course. ol-1 ge''course. • He "was when graduated, at the "canonical age for ordination, twenty- three, and appears to have had some inteiition'of entering the ministry 'of the Church' of England.

Of course, he was in life often crit- icized and sometimes found fault with. That was inevitable in an age when extreme earnestness in promot- ing religion is disliked and success is measured against dollars or world- ly position. But none of his critics will five in the future, as he most certainly will through the hymn he wrote, and which is in common use by thousands of Christian worshipp- ers all over the world. After all it was he who achieved the greatest success, Mr. Scriven's •hymn was fortunate in finding a suitable tune, with a pret- ty lilt in it, a composition by Charles C. Converse , specially made for the words. Mr. Converse was a United States musician, born at Warren, Mass., in 1834, educated in law at' Liepsic, Ger- many, and a graduate in law at a U. S. college.

Caution to Young Editors If you take the advice of the fel- low who says he doesn't care to see his name in the paper, you are mak- ing a great mistake. Beauty and Banff, the heart of" the famous Cana- Jl/ dian Rockies are synonymous and as like attracts like it is not surprising to find such a bevy of beauty as is shown in the accompanying pictures, disport- ing itself in the beautiful swimming pools of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway's palatial Banff Springs Hotel. There are two baths, one of naturally heated sulphur Water and the other of ordinary stream water, both of which are extremely popular with the m y visitors to the renowned ,summer resort.

Aztecs Well Versed in Science of Astronomy A study recently' issued by the Mex- ican ministry of foreign affairs de= scribes at length the advance made in astronomy by Mexico's first inhabit- ants, the Aztecs. "One of the out- standing facts in the history of the first inhabitants of Mexico is the marked progress that they achieved in astronomical science," says the re -- port as given out by the Pan-Amer- ican information service. "It is indeed remarkable that a people presenting so many evidences of primitive life should have been able to reach the exact and scientific'' -conclusions that their records indicate. 'The early Mex- icans had two calendars, one civil and the other religious. The first consisted of 18 periods of 20 days each, with an additional 5 days. These 5 days were devoted to feasts and festivities of different' kinds; Tbe religious calendar consisted of 13 - periods of 20 days each. The 20 day period of the civil calendar was divided into 4 periods of 5 days each. Fifty-two civil years made a century. To 'every century' the Mexicans added 13 days, which cor- respond to the days' we add for leap year." Snake as .Insignia Various medical ',fraternities and sororities, as well as.the United States public health service, .United States Army Hospital corps, etc., have in their crests or insignia a. representa- tion of snakes. The Caduceus or wand of Hermes or Mercury, messenger of the gods, has been the insignia of the healing profession for thousands of years. xt consists of two serpents twined on a staff, with wings. Accord- ing to LaWall's "Four Thousand Years of Pharmacy," the symbol of the serpent played a prominent part in the healing ritual of both the Egyptians and the Babylonians and dates back to at least 4000 B. C. The same authority claims that it is Es- culapius whose emblem the • caduceus, originally carried by Hermes and dat- ing from Egypt and Babylonia, is still seen in connection with medical In- signia. nsignia. New Vegetables Analyzed Educating the public to the food value of the host of new vegetables continually being brought from all over the world to enrich the American diet is a task of the bureau of home economicsa, The cbemical content of each dietary newcomer is analyzed and its nutritive value accurately computed, according to Popular Me- chanics Magazine. Chinese cabbage, broccoli, dasheens and many other common vegetables of today were al- most unknown in this country a few years ago. Chinese cabbage, for in- stance, has been found to have a fuel value of about seventy-five calories a pound. It is about 95 per .cent water and the outer leaves are waste. The rest is made up of nitrogen, fat, ash and starch. WROXETER Mrs. George Earner, of Brandon, Manitoba, and Mrs. Thomas Cornell, of Sault Ste. Marie, are visiting their sister, Mrs, Milvert Sellers.

Complicated Ciphers A cryptogram is a cipher used in se- cret correspondence whereby the mes- sage is interwoven into a book, story or just a sentence.

It is our exalted privilege now, as in the past, tohave a part of this great work and by our sympathy, our prayers and our mon- ey, help along the good cause. The subscriptions of the Belgrave branch since 1916 is as follows, '16 to '20, an•average of $113 per year, in''21 it dropped to $66, in '22 up to $144, in '23 $150, '24 $118, '25 $127, '26 $55, '27 the best year yet $159, in '28 and '29 $37 each, arid last year up $83.84. One reason for the difference of the amounts during these years is that the annual meeting was some- times called late in the fall and the roads got bad, and it was difficult to get the collectors out in the mud, or snow. This year a meeting of the Executive will' be called rightaway and collectors appointed and get go- ing while the roads are good and we hope to make as good a showing or better than last year.
