I have .lost 5 pounds in weight, and I feel as if I have lost 50 lbs, I am full of vigor, whereas before I was worried about my condi- tion, as I was listless and worried over little things. But I am thankful to atiy that, • were my troubles doubled, they would not worry me to-day-- thanks o-day-thanks to Kruschen."—Miss V, P.

What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer; 0, what peace we often forfeit, 0, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry • Everything to -God in prayer. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should ;never" be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who ;wall all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer. '.. 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 this country, itt. is .perhaps not be to wondered : at that its contributions have not been very numerous nor, with possibly two exceptions, of very great importance. Dean Bullock's hymn, "We love the place 0 God," as revised by the Rev. Sir Henry 33aker, is to be found in many of the hymnbooks. So also is Matthew Bridges' "Crown Him with many Crowns," from "The'. Passion of Je- sus," written (probably) at Quebec about 1851. To many engaged in for- eign missionary work, "The love of Christ constraineth," by Mrs. Cora Beford Evans is very familiar. also. Canon Scott has written some hymns one of which "Cast thy care on Se - sats," might become popular if a tak- ing distinctive' tune could be found for it, The Rev,, Robert Murray has given us some sound hymns, one of thein, "Sow the seed beside all wa- ters" being typically Canadian. Dean Patridge, Canon Welch and a few other Canadians have also written hymns, but none which have yet won very wide acceptance, though kindly disposed. committeeshave given there 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 denominat- ional.bias had centered,' was "What a friend we have in Jesus!" This simple little hymn, which bears the marks of extreme devotion to `the blessed Saviour andof strong .; b c � , tong faith in Him, was given to the world by one who lived the Christian life of . service to his fellows, openly, humbly and with great unselfishness, in a small town and outlying rural community in Ontario: Well-educat- ed, the possessor of an old country university degree and of some pri- vate means, augmented by his salary as public teacher -and private tutor, he became poor through his benefi- cence and actually lived. as a laborer at the end of his life. 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 of the rebel- ion in Canada, which was also the year of the accession of Queen Vic- toria to the throne, Joseph Scriven left college midway in his Arts course and entered a military college at Ad- discombe Surrey, to train as a cadet for the East India Company. It'was. decided, however, after two years of: military training, that he was not adapted "to Indianlife, andhe• went back to Dublin to complete his col- lege course. ' He was when graduated, at the canonical age for ordination, twenty- three, and appears to have had some intention of entering the ministry of the •Church of England. Some years afterwards, however, after a 'serious disappointment in his private affairs, he turned up in Northumberland enmity, .which borders on Lake On7 tario, and for some years taught school in or near to the now thriv- ing and important town of Port Hope. A prominent citizen then engaged him as private tutor, and as such he is still remembered by many people living in that vicinity. But the chief recollection of him is that of a very eager philanthropist, anxious to re- lieve distress, and not always a s orldl - \'a' y wise enough to escape being impos- ed upon. And, he developed a strong desire to tell to all he met, even to crowds at fairs or on the streets, the blessedness of faith, in God and in the THE WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES 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. Some- times he knew want and suffering and he died practically indigent, and un- der sad circumstances, his dead body being found in a .mill flume, in 1886, A Captain Pengally gave him sepul- chre in his family cemetery on Rice Lake in Monaghan Township, Ont., and in 1919 a movement was set afoot to erect a simple monument to mark the place where lie the mortar remains of the manwho wrote this popular and pathetic hymn. Exactly why Mr. Scriven wrote these lines in 1887 is not quite clear,' but no doubt it •was at a moment of religious exaltation due to new or in- creased appreciation of the value of. prayer to God, through the merits i yg. and meditation of His Son our Lord., Possibly opposition or unfriendliness had brought home to him the bless- edness of the unfailing friendship of the blessed Saviour. He wrote a good, deal at various times, and, apparent- ly, always with the desire to bring. home to his acquaintances and hear- ers, the blessings of religion as he understood it. 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 orldly position. But none of his critics will rive 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. He wrote many musical works and published several collec- tions of songs. Bolshevism's Job Three fellows—a doctor, an- archi- tect and a bolshevist—were talking together, and. each . claimed that his kind was the oldest and the most im- portant. 'The doctor said: "When Adam's side was opened .to takeout a rib to make a woman -that was the first surgical operation.'? The architect said: "Yes, but when the earth was made of chaos, before Adam's time; there had to be building plans—and an architect had to make them." The bolshevist said: "You are right —but who supplied the chaos?"— Vancouver Province.

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 stronomical science," says the re - pert as given out by the Pan-Amer- ican information ser"vice. "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 exicans had two calendars, one civil and the other religious. The first consisted of 18 periods of 20"deys each, with an additional 5 days. These 5 days were devoted to feasts and festivities of different` kinds. The 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, limited 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, It 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- culapins whose emblem the caduceus, originally carried by Hermes and dat- ing from Egypt and Babylonia, is still seen in connection with medical in- signia. 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 economics, The chemical 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.

Redmond was here on August 23rd and other speakers 'in other places telling of the wonderful work now being done by the Society. The Bible or parts of it is now printed in 644 languages, 14 new 'versions being added during the year 1930 there was 1,029,741 Bibles, 1.073,1 85 Testaments $ and 9,785,300 portions, a total of 11,888,226 Bibles or portions thereof printed. The to- tal income to carry on this great work was $405,529, the 'expenditure $460,- 365. Canada's gift was $16,400. Not- withstanding the vastness of the work being done there still is 3110 of the people of the world without the word of God in their own tongue and: therefore they do not know anyr thing about our loving merciful Fa- ther or His Son,Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind. It is our exalted privilege now, as in the past, to have 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, and last year up $83.34. 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 reads 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 right away 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.
