Wisdom
My heart has learned of shadowings,
Tlie loveliness of little things,
And all the wisdom that I know
Is wisdom of the stars, the snow,
Of flowers and of winds that seek,
And tiny lives that do not speak.
A deeper speech there is than word,
A sweeter sound in sounds unheard.
And thoughts beyond the reach of art,
I find, and never can impart.
The swift, dim laughter of the brooks
Cannot be copied into books—
A butterfly that swerves and sways,
Lifts up my, heart in secret ways;
And in thed'.tremor of a leaf
And in the song, so far, so brief,
Of, birds at twilight, dwells a tone
Beyond all octaves ever known,
Shadows that tremble, clouds that
pass
Reflections in a broken glass.
These mould our lives. Reality
Begins and ends 'in mystery.

The "Old Hen" Is Not Tough If
Properly Cooked
We often hear the expression "It's
as tough as an old hen," and to many
the old hen doe;: not make an•attrac-
tive dish because very frequently it is
not cooked properly. But it can be
'cooked to make a most tempting din-
ner for the family. Next time you
Intend to have a two-year-old chicken
try steaming it a couple of hours
instead of boiling it in a large quan-
tity of water. If you. have not a regu-
lar
egular steamer put it on the rack in the
roasting pan, all stuffed and ready,
add about an inch of water andcover
closely, or put the fowl in: a collander
µcd set in a kettle with water .in the
bottom, Over closely and allow to
Steam. After' that, if it was not stuffed
before, you can do so now. Then roast
if desired, basting it frequently with
the liquor it has been steamed in,
'browning it quickly, then cooking
gently over a low heat until tender.
Another way to prepare le is to
steam it, then cut the fowl into pieces,
flour each piece and brown in some
of the chicken fat in a frying pan.
Cover with the water it has been
steamed in, add seasoning and bake
or cook gently on stove, till tender.
The gravy can be varied by using in
It tomatoes, green or red peppers,
chopped fine, browned onions, celery

"About Chicks and Other Little
Friends"
Chapter 22
Billy had been back home from his
holiday to the city for a long time
slow and he was pleased because the
chicks all remembered him again. So
did Topsy and the barn cat's kitties.
Billy just stayed around their box very
quietly in the barn for a long time
the next morning and this is what
they .did.
pretty soon one little black puss
who looked just like his mother peak-
ed out from behind a door, and as
soon as it saw he was still there
-back it popped out of sight. It looked
so cute, but lie could not get a good
look at it for it Was gone so quickly.
Billy thought, I'll get you, you little
rascal," so he took a long straw and
walked over to the door then ran the
end of the straw over the floor where
he knew._the kitten could see it. Back
and forth he ran it, back and forth,
back and forth. Then all at once
out popped a little black paw to grab
it. But back it went again as quickly
as could be to hide. However, Billy
just kept on and soon out came the
paw and part of his funny .black head,
and this time it got the straw from
Billy, for he wasn't bolding it very
tight, and before he . could grab that
piece of straw back again the little
black kitty -had run off with it in its
:mouth. Oh, it looked so funny. , But
it didn't keep it very long, for it soon
found the straw wouldn't move be-
cause there was• no Billy to make it
go. Well, first thing Billy knew it
was back again and, just think, this
time it was so near lie could put his
hand on it and wasn't it a dear, soft
little thing? He picked it up so very
carefully. I guess all at once it re-
membered who Billy was and when
he picked it up he could .feel and
hear it purring. So they played there
for a longtime. I said "they" because•
all the others came out, too, as soon
as they saw Blacky was having, a good
time, and it wasn't long before they
were on his shoulder and biting his
fingers with their little teeth which, of
course, didn't hrr.` a bit, , and doing
all sorts of till then when they
had played so ha" ,rat they got pretty
tired, all at once they cuddled up to-
gether in their box and in two winks
they were sound asleep. That didn't
take long, did it?
When he came in the house he told'
Mamma what a good time he had
been having, and talking about kittens
made him think. of Fluffy, the house
eat persian, whose cushion was empty
on her old chair in the corner. "Do
you know, Mamma, I haven't seen
Fluffy for a long time, have you?
I :haven't •seen her all day."
that you speak Of .1t, dear.
I haven't ,seen her around either.
Perh- • ; you better call her and hunt
aroun , to see where She is."
Billy called and called but Fluffy
didn't come. I wonder where she is.
Perhaps you might find ut next time
if we can hunt her. I believe I know
where she is,

Faithful Even in Death
For 18 years "Luck, ' a large ',lack
dog, was the constant companion of
Victoria, Queen of Sweden. The
queen and the big dog walking be-
side her became familiar figures in
"many European capitals. During
like queen's last illness in Rome the
faithful dog seemed to sense that
the end of his mistress was near
and ;he refused to leave the sick
chamber. After the queen's death
"Lucie" refused to eat, became ill
and soon died.

his set, he discovers whether storms
are approaching or travelling In an
opposite direction, and he plans ac-

III, THE LOVE OF CHRIST, 23: 35-45.
IV. FAITH IN THE FATHER, 23: 46,
I. JESUS CRUCIFIED, 23: 33.
Regarded simply as a crucifixion,
the death of Jesus did not differ from
hundreds of other crucifixions in Pal-
estine and elsewhere. That -,which
makes the death of Jesus unique was
the spirit in which he died and the
consequent results of his de.nth. The
Evangelist here has a double task to
perform; he has to tell us *hat hap-
pened, but, in so doing, he has also
to make us feel the inwardness, the
real meaning of the story. He has to
make us feel that this was not only a
• crucifixion; it was Jesus who was
crucified. This was something. alto-
gether different from the crucifixion
of ordinary wrongdoers, as one of
them 'himself recognized, vs. 40-42.
We are to understand further that the
malice of man reached the uttermost
limits in the taunting of Jesus as he
hung upon the Cross, -vs. 35-38. Jesus
himself was unchanged through it all;
his love to man never failed (v. 34),
nor his faith in God, v. 46. The scene
is brought into relation with ancient
prophecy and with the eternal pur-
poses of God by clear references to the
twenty-second psalm, v. 34f. The
eternal . or • cosmic significance of
Jesus' death is brought out by the
assertion that when he was dying,' the
sun swooned in the sky and could give
no light, and that at his death the
Temple curtain was split in two.
II, A PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS, 23:- 34,
Strictly,. it would seem, the Roman
soldiers rather. than the Jews are
intended in the prayer, but that Jesus
did "forgive" the Jews is plain from
many sides. This indeed was his
great victory that their changing atti-
tude to hint could not change his atti-
tude to them; that not even treach-
ery, repudiation, scorn., hatred and
the worst that malice could do, could
make him cease to love. The Cross is
the supreme illustration and proof of
a divine love that nothing can change.
If sin abounds, grace yet more
abounds. When people have "glor-
ied" or "boasted" in the cross of
Christ, we understand them to mean
that through the death of Jesus, God
has brought home ., their hearts his
lcve whit all their sin atld shame had
neither diunned nor diminished.
III. THE LOVE OF CHRIST, 23: 35-45.
V. 351. These taunts•may have,beerl,
shalio'cv and thoughtless, yet thhey "pre x
sent- a real problem to thoughtful
minds. Jesus had proclaimed the love
and sovereign care of God for all his
children. God numbers Ile very hairs
.of our heads; not a sparrow falls to
the ground without his cognizance
How much more will be care for his
children? He who feeds the ravens
and clothes the lily my surely be
trusted to provide for his children.
This, then, was the God hi whom
Jesu; had trusted, and with what re-
sult? He hung upon he Cross, help-
less, deserted, mocked. Did not his
fate contradict his teaching? But the
care and Providence if God that
watch over his children do not mean
that he will keep' them from all suffer-
ing. and all painful experiences. The
Christian must always ':rust utterly
to God—even though God call rim to
"take up his Cron." The Christian
must not ask to be saved from all
suffering, but by faith to be made
triumphant over all suffering. We
are to be saved, tct from the world,
but in the midst of the worst the
world can do.

did the High Priest enter the Holy of

death of Jesus was to throw open the

Woods and Birds Fight Against
V. D. Menace
The, sky was clear --amazingly Clear.
The sun struck and splintered upon
every mountain head and, shoulder,
but gathered into shimmering pools at
the bottoms of the high valleys wbleb
swung between the crests, the thrilling
light, unspeakably translucent, darken-
ing the pine and cedar forests to a
bronzy black against the snow,
Those wooded areas were native for-
ests, but they left you feeling that you
were riding through the most beauti-
fully kept of parks. The low bushy
trees stood on plotted slopes that were
constantly avowed by the scythe of the
sun, and so raked by the winds that,
where the snow had melted and left
the bare ground free, you saw neither
underbrush nor slashings, but only
broken rock and boulders strewn about
the clean -swept lawns.. .
And here for the first time on the
journey we had a warm day and signs
of spring; patches of tender green
close against the sun -touched boul-
ders, spicy, resinous odors from the
evergreens, and flocks of birds—
juncos, stellar jays, and Rocky Moun-
tain bluebirds. Only those who have
seen the blue of this bluebird can con-
ceive of it as belonging to the earth,
so ethereal is it, so bodyless does it
seem to float along. Had this been

him the winter before in the California
desert), our trip for the day had ended

Too Many Names
When an English ohiid was born in
Paris recently the parents were sur-
prised to learn that its name had to
be chosen from an official list of
"permitted" Christian names, and
that names outside the list were
banned.
They protested—but there is a
strong case for a censorship of names,
as many unfortunates realise. Their
parents had more enthusiasm than
consideration, and gave them names
like "Mafeldng" or "Mesopotamia."
There might also be some limit to
the number of Christian names. In
one case, which was revealed at
Somerset House a few months ago,
a woman was named Ann Bertha
Cecilia Diana Emily Fanny Gertrude
Hypatia Inez Jane Kate Louisa
Maud Nort Ophelia Quince Rebecca

ter a small staff of natural scientists
remained on the peak in a temporary
observatory. Snowbound most of
the time, they received fresh food
and mail dropped from airplanes. As
none of the present observatories

Headway Has Been Made
Against These Diseases,
Doctor Says
Need for .continued public edueatio4
in the control of Venereal Disease and
a review of the Struggle against these
diseases during the past eleven years
ispresented by Dr. Gordon Bates in an
editorial in the Canadian Public
Health Journal current issue,
That which has been accomplished
is indicated, the doctor believes, by
figures of surveys conducted In To-
ronto and Winnipeg. "The incidence
shown in these two cities is lower
than that in any American city sur-
veyed as yet. In addition we have a
record of standard venereal disease
control legislation on the statute books
of every province except Quebec,
which has a. law in this regard pecu-
liar to the province, Venereal Dis-
ease clinics, one hundred and two
altogether, have been established in all
of the provinces and several hundred
thousands persons have been reported
as having been brought under treat-
ment. In addition a great deal of
public education has been carried on
by means of the lecturer, the moving
picture, the pamphlet and last but not
least the active venereal disease clinic.
It is extremely difficult in the ab-
sence of periodic surveys to arrive at
an opinion as to what all of this has
been accomplished. The general opin-
ion
pinion is that little has resulted in so far
as the control of gonorrhoea is con-
cerned but that syphilis is decreasing.
The annual report of the standing com-
mittee on veneral diseases of the
Canadian Social Hygiene Council
bears out this opinion. General par-
alysis of the insane which previously
increased after all wars, since the
Great War has decreased in incidence
In our asylums. Routine Wasserman
reports, where they are available,
show a steady decrease in the inci-
dence of hospitalized syphilis. One
cannot, but conjecture that in the
absence of the co-ordinated plan which
came into being immediately at the
close of the war, conditions would
have been muck worse.
"There are gaps in the present
scheme. For example, venereal dis-
ease in rural areas and some urban
areas as well is not properly dealt
with hely because of the lack of
adequate general health machinery.
The development of the County Health
Unit program may be relied upon to
correct this situation to a degree. The
routine Wasserman test is not applied
as generally as it should be either in
hospital, in general practice or in the
inspection .of immigrants. The control
of gonorrhoea, both in. Canada and In
othexoonntries,,,z s to be -as diffi-
cult- as • eve!..::' o soIatibu. of ties
problem seems to lie largely in public
education.
"While satisfactory progress has
been made in dealing with the situa-
tion, we should continue to check our
results from time to time with a view
to constantly improving our methods.
Toronto is arranging for another sur-
vey in May of this year. The lessons
learned from such periodic investiga-
tions should be invaluable."
