YOU FAIR TO YOUR ...- . KIDDIES? (by Dorothy Dix) Children have a right to expect good, clean blood untainted by dis- ease, and parents who will give them a fighting chance in life and not pre- destine ahem to be the victims of a weak and sickly bodies or disordered. minds, They have a right .to a peace- ful home, where their young lives will not be embittered by constant quarr- els between parents. Men and wo- men reared in happy honies rarely have a nervous breakdown. It is the men and women who grew up in 'stormy households that fills our sana- toria, Nearly all young criminals comes from unhappy hornes where the father and mother are at loggerheads,. Children have a right to a 'mother's love and tenderness and. to a father's strength and wisdom. They need a another's pettingand a father's guid- ance. They should have companion- ship from their parents. The first few years are the formative ones that de- termine the future, and children ,have a right, to expect that their parents will not leave them to the care of others. It is in the cradle that in- timacies between parents and child- ren are formed. It is only through pillow fights and making dolls clothes together that companionship is es- tablished. between parents and child- ren, and fathers and smothers get to look into little hearts and souls and see what is there. Children have a right to expect their father to bring them up proper- lya Nearly every failure in life, near- ly every convict, nearly every drunk- ard, nearly all the discontented peo- ple in the world can point to their parents and say. "You did it. I am what you made me." Who are the failures but the grown-uji spoiled children who were never made to do anything hard or taught the habits of thrift and industry? Who are the criminals• but those who were never taught to control their tempers? Who are the disgruntled but those who have brought up to believe that the, world owes them comfort and that they should be exempt from all trials. and tribulations? Children have a right to expect that parents will teach them the rules of the game of life, Theyhave a right to expect their parents to teach them to control their tempers, their appet- ites and their passions, and so enable them to achieve happiness and success They have a right to expect their par- , ents to teach them the habits of thrift and prosperity, and to be taught good manners, because\ the boor isalways handicapped. Children, have ' a right to exj ect that parents will grant them the su- preme right, in the end, to live their own lives. No father or mother has the right to pick out a child's : hus- band or wife. And because father es- tablished a prosperous grocery busi- ness it: does not : follow that John should be put behind the counter There would be fewer failures and more happy and contented people if children were permitted to do what Nature intended, insteadof what their parents desire, Most of all children have a right and love and understand g parents. • from their KEEP UP WITH YOUR CHILDREN (by Anne Jordan) Are you a. parent? And, if so, are you proud of your children? That's a good foolish question, but turn it around and its not Co. silly.Are your children proud of you? Now don't hedge by laughingly answering, "I hope so." Ask yourself squarely, and know the answer. Being a parent is a priceless priv- elege. It deserves careful thought and study, ,Children expect and have the right to expect so much of their par,. ents, Do you live up to their expecta- tions, or do your children apologet- ically try to keep you in the back- ground?' One of the tragedies of parenthood is the, amselfishness' of it. Mothers and fathers yearn to give their child- ren advantages that they themselves have been denied. They will stint and skimp and save to put their daught-. ter into a finishing school where din- ner is served at seven„ and in well or - dared courses, They'll sit on the sante old thread -bare sofa year after year so Sonny can make a Fraternity at college, And then what happens? Sister brings her dainty self back home. Elevating ° her thinly plucked brows, she takes her place at the table forgetting that she ought to help Mitt. nie the -maid. -of -all -work bring the dishes in l Oh, goodness, Sister's up- per, ten, now, She's about tendrat- ums upper on her parents, And look. at her expression when Dad unwit- tingly sniffs the soup right out of the end of his spoon! The lovely chicken pie' that Mania had made just for her, tastes just like sawdust. as Sister shudders at Mania smearing butter on a whole piece of bread at one time! And sonny -poor Dad eye -balls him askance when Sonny labels him "Gov- enor," and "slides theist a line of fea- thers," by way of placid chatter. Dad when Sonny has at last gone out, run to look;over the college catologue to see if this weird' talk is ineloded in the cirricitlnm.. Now the moral of this lesson isyto. give your children every advantage that you can possibly afford. But while they're off P.tting educed you've got a long quiet winter to yourself, and you should use it to make up 'for the lack of things that were denied you. For a few dollars you can buy a book of etiquette .that will put you where you can meet Sister half -way when she comes home with frills in her manners. And all, the leading magazines will teach you,. how to cover the old plush sofa with attractive English. chintz. It doesn't cost much to . make the house—not home-like—just sort of country- club ish that's' the.. motif that they used. at Sonny's frat house! Read the funny papers and sport pages and see where.: Sonny gets his slang. Keep up with your young 'ras- cats, When they get home from school,. don't,. be afraid of rem. Treat 'em' as equals—look `ern square in the eye, and make them feel they're a- mong friends. MY FAVOURITE DISH (by Madge Bellamy) My favourite dish is, a' cheese ono-, ellette. This is the recipe: 2 eggs, cupful of milk, a teaspoonful of pepper, 2 teaspoonfuls of butter, i.aw- ful of cheese. Beat the eggs well and add milk and seasoning. Melt the butter in a small. frying -pan. When the butter :boils pour in the egg mixture. When .cooked as brown as you like on a fire that is not too hot, sprinkle with the .cheese that had been cut up in fine pieces. .Fold one half over on the other andt transfer to a hot plate. Sprinkle with hot parsely and some iinore cheese, and put into a hot oven. until the cheese is melted, Ti1E "ALWAYS TIRED CHILD (by a Doctor's wife) A child should be naturally active, buoyant, full of good spirits,enthus- iastic in playtime, and alert in the schoolroom. Buta youngster who displays "that tired feeling" must not be regarded as lazy, for he is possibly suffering from chronic fatigue, which produces a subnormal condition. Only a generation ago it was the, custom to wait for trouble and then set about effecting a cure; these days the sane practice of preventing dis- ease is the happier method, What, then, is the 'cause of this tiredness? Of course, fatigue after a romp is nothing to worry about, but the weariness and inertia that so puz- zle the motherwho remembers the gay liviness•of her own childhood call for serious attention. 'Unfortunately, the tired child is of- ten misunderstood and dealt with in a manner that may have alarming consequences in later years, He may be regarded "as lazy in the home, at school, .or by playmates, and his mind may be easily warped by harsh criticism and vision of a wretched fut- ure. On the other hand, he may be. coddled and petted—an invalid before his tithe. A period of rapid growth inaybe the cause, in which case a full recov- ery' is only a matter. of time. But par- ents cannot rely on this. happy se- quel, In some cases the tired symptoms irtay be moderate, but they will cer- tainly er- tainly grow if thecauses are not re- moved, To punish the child merely adds to the trouble; the injustice is felt keenly and the outlook warped Sometimes the child is openly regard- ed as mentally deficient—a grave mis- take, Over -eating, or taking the wrong foods, will easily upset the digestive system and bring on a period of leth- argy, but the other extreme is equally dangerous. Insufficient food or sleep too much exercise at one time, con- stant scolding, on-stant,,scolding, and even bickering be- tween parents, may readily disturb the functions of the body. Even more serious is the possible indication of diabetes. Consider carefully the daily routine. Are the hours of rest adequate? Is the diet wrong, or are meals tak- en at irregular hours and sometimes litu•ried? Is growth too rapid? Is the child being upset by some older member of the family? ff you find the clue anronst these. questions, set about the task of tee- tifying the error iritmediately. 'The most important step, 'however, is to', have the youngster examined period- ically by your doctor. Constant medical supervision during childhood is the preventive method, and this is far more efficacious than any dosing, regulation` of hours, or treatment of any kind after the trou- ble has begun, The doctor should be told exactly how the child spends his average day so that the best advice may be forth- coming.

McGee, who has been in poor health for some time, 0 happy day, that fixed my choice On Thee, my Saviour and nay God; Well may this glowing' heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad. 0 happy bond, that seals my vows To Him who merits all my love; Let cheerful anthems fill His house, While to that sacred shrine I move. 'Tis done! the great` transaction's done; I am. my Lord's and He je mine: He' lrew nie, and I followed on, Glad to confess the voice divine. Now rest, nayy long divided heart. Fixed on this blissful centre, rest With ashes who would, grudge to part, When called on angels' bread to feast? High heaven, that heard the solemn vow, That vow renewed shall daily hears Till in life's latest hour I bow, And bless in death so dear. The Reverend Dr. Doddridge, fam- ous in his day as preacher, writer of theological works, such as the well- known "Family Expositor, of the Bib- le;" for instance, is best remembered for his mostvaluable: hymns "My God and is Thy table spread, "Hark the glad sounds, the Saviour comes," "0 God of Bethel by whose hand," and "Awake, my soul, stretch every ner- ve." Probably every hymnbook of importance has that four, as well as others which came from his. pen. • His friend Job Orton published three hundred and seventy-five of his hymns after Dr. Doddridge's death in 1751.' His great grandson, Doddrigde Hurn- phreys, in x839, issued another collect- ion .of bus hymns, which added twenty- two more to the . number,.and there are probably still others in existence not publicly known. It must be remembered that Dr.Dod dridge's hymns were written for use after sermons by his own congreg- ation, and were read out by him to be sung, line by line. When other congre- gations wanted his hymns they were given. copies and apparently none were printed or gathered into book form during his lifetime. Literary men do not always write clearly, and .bfr. Orton in his introd- uction is forced to remark, "There may perhaps be some improprieties, owing to my not being able to read the Author's -manuscript in particular places, and being obliged, without a poetical genius, to supply those defic- iencies, . whereby the beauty of the stanzas may be greatly defaced, thou- gh thesense is preserved." Mr. Orton did his part with painstak- ing zeal and probably made no attem- pts at deliberate alteration, Mr, Hum- phreys using the same as well as oth- er manuscripts made many generally minor alterations, some of which may have been due to changes nnade in revising and recopying in other nnan- ttseripts, by,. Dr. •Doddridige himself. For instance Mr, Humphreys makes the fourth verse to read in its last two lines; "0 who :with earth would grudge to part, When called: with angels to be bless'd. Most critics would agree, however, in considering the Ortori version as given above to be Doddridge's . orig- inal; the Humplirey's text as being a recension meant to be an improve- ment, either by the author or by his great grandson. We have nowhere been told under what' special circumstances our hymn was composed, but the first line brings a reminder of the choice its writer was called upon to make early in life, when, attracted by his evident talents, the Duchess of Bedford offered him a university training for the church of England ministry. His father had, however been one of the ministers forced" upon Church of England parishes by Oliver Crom- well, in: his attempt .to destroy the national church which was generally speaking royalistic in feeling. Natur- ally when, at the Restoration, England again became a kingdom, the intruded ministers had to give place to the reg- ular clergymen when they returned, from exile, and Mr, Doddrldge of that day had been forced to retire from the position he had assumed. The re- sentment his retirement produced had not died out in his family and young Philip declined the kind offer of the Duchess, and entered an inde- pendent or Congregational seminary at Kibworth to train for the "Noncon- formist ministry. He became pastor: of a congregation of Kibworth in 1723, but six years lat- er set up a training college at North- ampton of which town he became min- ister. As an instructor he was very successful, some two hundred young men receiving a sound classical train- ing under him before consumption compelled him to seek a warmer clim- ate. He was, however, too poor to obey the doctor's orders at once, nor could he set out until a Church of Eng land clergyman, hearing ofhis dilem- ma., took steps to obtain the necessary funds. As it turned out he had delayed his departure too long, and he died at Lisbon in October 1751, a few weeks after he left his native land, The tune "Voice Divine," by the United States composer Dr. Lowell Ivlason, who gave us the most popular tunes to "Nearer my God to Thee," and "My faith looks up to Thee," is derived from one of tie ancient Greg- orian chants, which are said to owe their origin to the -old Temple serv- ices of the Jews. BLYTH It is doubtful if any othercomniiun- ity in Ontario has . erected .a more generous monument to our heroic dead, and were it not that the occas- ion demands our best, no praise could be too high to those people who con- tributed theirtime and money to this 'Memorial Hall. They did their duty and duty is not paid in praise, That is one of the lessons • from the war. The hall, has one of the largest auditoriums in the •couty.. The tablet bearing the names is a beautiful bit of work, it is of sol= id English oak with the names in raised letters of basswood. Since the war we no longer reckon values in dollars but in deeds. Tliis tablet hand carved and hand polished with all the grace of art and skill can only be fully appreciated by a connoisseur, and is an object lesson to all who see it. Our Memorial Hall was handed to the community and we will not read- ily forget. The message of the boys to us is written in blood; their name liveth forever. By this sign this mon- ument that stands in our) community we will renicmber,and hand the great lesson on to our, posterity, We will not break faith, TO MOTHERS OF OUR DEAD O mothers of the dead yet living liost Who sleep in Flanders where the poppies shed Their petals, and the murmuring winds Whisper sweet secrets to the 'un- known dead. Fruit, of your body to whom you first gave breath, You gave for freedom all you had to give, iyOtt ' sent them forth, a smile upon your lips, ;leo eetri1ice their lives that we might live, Yours was the sacrifice that pierced the heart, Like Abraham •of old ,you stood the test. Each shot or stab of steel that found its mark Was lodged . as well within some mother's' breast. 0 .mothers of these lads who fought and died 'To guard the weak and keep our liberty,, May the spirit of your sacrifice live on, Thcaughout the ages of eternity.
