husband left for overseas lit 'told
me he did not intend to conte
back to me and our little boy,
and now he has written ` his
mother that be inttends to
divorce me. We were married
five years ago, and have a won-
derful son. Until a year ago we
got along beautifully, but then
he started listening to his
mother's complaints about me
and he has been impossible to
live with ever since, We quar-
relled harshly. and I could do
nothing that pleased him. His
family, by the way, never really
welcomed me, and relations with
them have been strained all
through our married life.
"Despite all this I still Love
my husband. I know he loves
the boy who needs a father, too.
He sends me no money except
the shall sunt government allot-
ment, and for the past couple
of months he has not written
me at all, though I send him
mail regularly.
"I've been writing to another
soldier whom I knew before I
met my husband. He has grown
fond of me and my son, but I
have told him I intend to stick
to my husband as long as I can.
"What shall I do? Fight the
divorce (my husband has no
true grounds), or let him have
his freedom? Shall I tell the
other man to forget me? He is
a fine person, and my son gets
along awfully well with him.

Reconciliation
2 Chronicles 30: 1, 6-13
Memory Selection: The Lord
your God is gracious and merci-
11 fu"., and wiII not turn away his
, face from you, if ye return unto
him. 2 Chronicles 30:9.
A sticker on some cars reads,
"The• family that prays together
holds together." The family altar
is unknown in most homes.
What a pity! Quarrelling and
bickering have no place in a
home where the family prays to-
gether. If there arises a differ-
ence of opinion, prayer will help
to solve the problem.
A husband and wife axe on
the verge of quarrelling should
say something like this; "Let's
not be foolish. We took each
other for better or worse. The
Bible says, 'What therefore God
hath joined together let not man
put asunder.' Now let us start
reading the Bible every day and
praying together. We've both
made mistakes. In sinning
against each other we have sin-
ned against Gad. Let us turn
from our sins and ask God's for-
giveness, Then it'll be natural
to forgive each other."
The same method will work
in the larger circle, too. Heze-
kiah realized this and applied
it to obtaining a reconciliation
with the northern kingdom with
whom. his predecessor had been
fighting. He invited them to
come to Jerusalem and keep the
feast of the passover. Some of
those who received the invitation
laughed in scorn. But others
humbled, thhemselves and came.
There was great joy in Jerusalem.
"Then the priests, the Levites,
arose and blessed the people; and
their voice was heard, and their
prayer came up to his holy
dwelling p 1 a c e, even unto
heaven."
If we want our tensions re-
lieved let us turn to God.

Heal Hillman Are
These Sherpas
•
From the Sherpa people is
drawn the corps of porters
whose work in all ports of the
Himalaya has commanded the
utmost respect and admiration
of mountaineers of all nations.
Many Sherpas who have become
professional mountain porters
now live permanently in Dar-
jeeling, which is only ten
marches from their home coun-
try of Sola 1 hombu. In stature
they are about five feet six
inches, deep but not broad chest-
ed, the neck and shoulders well
muscled but the arms not. They
carry loads on a head -band
wh 'never possible rather than
the shoulders. The hair is dark
and worn at the back in a'pig:-
tail, although the Darjeeling
Sherpas have now taken to cut-
ting the hair short. Their skin .
is a pale brown, not dark; in
that respect many of them 'can-
not be distinguished from a
South European. They wear a
toga like upper garment and
trousers of home -woven wool,
and on the feet long Tibetan
boots of dull red cloth, soled
with. hide, which come up al-
most to the knees. , , . Even in
high camps the first thing I have
often heard in the morning is
the chanting of prayers from
the Sherpas' tents, .: .
The Sherpa people are semi-
nomadic. The different families
have houses at diiferen•t levels
in different villages, and move
up and down according to the
needs of seasonal crops and
grazing It will thus be seen that
they • get much practice in ac-
climatizing. Their bodies in con-
sequence adapt themselves to
high altitude much faster than a
European's. For such various
reasons the Sherpa performs
better than the other hilimexi,
who live lower. But there is
more to it than that, Ile is not
only tough and fit, he is also
high spirited. He is a free and
inepeedent man, full of resour-
ces in this own way of life artd
schooled from earliest youth in
self-reliance. Only a minority of
Sherpas can read or write, but "
their life and trade and move -
Ment, village economy and
travel,develop in most of them
a keen Intelligence. It was after
!meeting Sherpas that 1 realized
the truth of Bernard Shaw's
words, when he remarked that
a very great deal of what we
call education is 'no more than
the substitution of reading for
experience of life. Above all, the.
Sherpa can laugh. His sense of
humor is broad and quick. He
is cheerful by nature (being
Mongolian) and that is a great
help in mountaineering where
conditions are so often uncom-
fortable. The Sherpas are indeed
the happiest people I have ever
rect. Time means nothing to
them. In this they are more
extreme than the Scottish west
highlander, who says that when
God "made time he made plenty
of 't To the Sherpa time does
not seem to exist. — From "The
Story of Everest," by W. H. Mur-
ray.

I am really tired -- tuckered
out, exhausted — and a dozen
• more adjectives might well be
applied. And the reason -- dogs
and cats. Or to be mare specific,
one five -months -old puppy and
two full grown cats.
Our recent dogless state be-
came less and less to our lik-
ing so • last Wednesday a friend
and I went down to Oakville
to the Humane Society to , see
what they had in the line of
waifs and strays. Honestly,• it is
a wonder I didn't come • home
with six dogs — there were so
many that were appealing and
needed a home. However, my
choice was finally narrowed
down to a stray black and white
collie, probably about two years
old, and a five -months pup;
three ' parts German Shepherd
and one part collie who had
been sent in to be sold because
the owner had another dog that
was frightfully jealous. The col-
'liewas a lovely dog but as he
was a , stray the caretaker had
no knowledge of his past history
and was afraid he might stay
with us for awhile • and then
wander away again: The pup,
hereafter referred to as "Mac"
has all the markings of a Ger-
man Shepherd except that his
nose is too long and his ears
flop over a bit. .But he is as
keen as mustard and already. he
has appointed himself as my
guardian,
It was after six when 1 got
home that day. Partner and
both the cats were in the house.
Mac came ie on the tun. Up
went the cats' backs and for a
moment I thought the fur was
going to fly. Mac was friendly
enough but not so the cats. I
put them both outside but that
wasn't much good. They were
just plain curious and came back
again as soon as an opportunity

presented itself. So for two days
I was fully occupied keepine, the
peace between the dog and the
cats, and getting Mac accustom-
ed to his new home. What hurdle
is crossed so now 1 am concen-
trating on a few of Mac's less
desirable habits; also grooming
hila twice a day and feeding
him everything •a dog should
have. Right now we are hay-
ing a tussle of wills. Our wood-
shed has two storeys. We think
the proper place for a dog is
the lower part but Mac finds the
upper floor more to his liking,
•as from it he can run into the
kitchen every time the door is
Opened. So yesterday Partner
and I rigged up a gateway for
the top of the stairs so now our
friend must stay where he bee
longs — but under .protest.
Our visit to the Humane So-
ciety Kennel was quite interest-
ing and it is certainly a busy
place and quite obviously neces-
sary and doing good work.
There was a •'variety of dogs —
two big white Samoyeds —
which most of us think of them
as sleigh dogs. Another white
dog had been brought in for ob-
servation as it had bitten a
child ;another -= a collie — was
in for observation for biting its
owner. There was a beagle
hound and a number of smaller
dogs and a three-legged cat with
three kittens, one of which she
wouldn't feed. There was also
a monkey who resented our
presence very noisily. Only a
few of the dogs were strays.
Others, like . Mac, had been
brought in, in the hope a new
home might be found for them.
While we were there a woman
came along with a cocker
spaniel that was to be destroyed.
I asked her what was the matter
with it. "Oh, nothing," she an-
swered. "A friend left it with
me and I don't want it." As she
spoke, the poor little thing, al-
ready shut up in a cage, looked
up at us with its big brown
pleading eyes. I didnt know how
she had the heart to leave it.
In another cage there was a
beautiful golden retriever puppy
which had evidently got itself
lost. The caretaker was quite
sure the owner would claim it
before very long.
Well, the country really has a
spring-like appearance at last,
although from the amount of
mud there is around you might
wonder if the ground will ever
dry up, The orioles are back,
singing and sivinging from the
elm trees, and the meadow larks
are flitting from fence to fence.
And we had our first dish of
rhubarb today. Oh yes, and our
mysterious friend "Mr. X" has
turned up again! He wants to
know if there are any more
grandchildren who might . like
an etched glass. Sorry, tvXr. X
the .answer is "No". But still we
haven't forgotten you. Daughter
and I were speaking of you the
other day and wondering if you
were still around , . , and where.
I noticed t'he postmark on this
letter was "St. Catharine's" but
that doesn't mean much --
letter
letter can be mailed anywhere
if one happens to be out for a
drive.
Speaking of letters, 1 am glad
we don't have Toronto mail
service where even 1oea1 lettere
take two days to reach their
destination. If Daughter writes
me a letter I get it next morn-
ing. If I write her one it takes
two days. Just one more sample
of the advantage we enjoy by
living in the country. I suppose
slow mail delivery is one reason
why there are so many long
distance telephone calls.
Such a glorious day and yet
the 'probs' speak of rain for to-
morrow — that always happens
when I have to go to Toronto
on business!
