Your Own Harvest.

It is always interesting to know •
what aspirations people cherish, If it
be known what a man expects life to
bring him it is an easy matter to as-
certain what course he is steering.
Usually, a man gets back what he
gives, if not in quantity, at least in
quality. "• Whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also leap."
Put these questions to yourself:
What am I living for? What do I ex-
pect from life?
It is not a bit of use living for self
here and expecting to get another's
blessing afterwards. If it is true that
every cause has an effect—and it 9s
true—then how essential it is to live
so that. if everybody else lived as we
do, the world would be full of good
people.
Nothing in this world comes hap-
hazard. Everything is related to
everything else. For otir daily bread
a series of services have been render-
ed by others; someone has toiled. Sow-
ing and reaping are continually taking
place.
Goethe once wrote:—
We must not hope to be mowers
And to gather the ripe gold ears,
Unless we have first been sowers
And watered the furrows with tears
it is net just as we take it

Arctic Patrol Makes Remark-

Wireless reports received by the
Director of the North. West Territories
and Yukon Branch of the "Department
of the Interior, show to rapid progress
being made by to S.S. Beothlc in the
annual patrol of the posts in Canada's
Arctic archipelago. The 1926 expedi-
tion, which sailed from North Sydney,
Cape Breton Island, at noon on July
16, according to the most recent des-
patehes, has reached Dundas Harbor,
Devon Island. The ship will continue
north to the posts on the east coast of
Ellesmere Island. The Beathic has
also visited the Danish port of God-
havn, Greenland, and Pond Inlet, the
post on Baffin Island.

that the Beothlc will he 'out of tquch
