Nat- orally-, 1 don't want 10 inflict our worriee upon my readers. --most people have enough of their own- Yet wn- 3e't 1 cannot write a chronicle or weekly events itt Ginger Farm and itentire what has happened. So for- give int if 1 refer briefly to what • has taken )place. My sister-in-law's funeral was 1a5t edncstiac -•- from the Funeral ome in Milian. We thotaght the fiuw ere would never stop conning. They were very beautiful. Only a few, however, were sent to the cemetery; the others were distrib- teed 10 the churches, and among he sock encs shut -his. They had served their purpose in honouring the dead but afterwards everyone agreed it would be a shame to let the tlowers freeze outside when they might serve a better and hap- pier purpose by bringing pleasure to .he living,. For several days even our big lanes seemed tilled to capacity with friende- there were nine of us al- together. After the service those from a ,istance came back for tea and simile of them were here for supper. On 'Thursday the exodus lt-gan. In the morning Bob and four otters ie. out for North Bay, in lob's car. It was terribly cold and windy but since we had not pawl much attention to weather reports it wee; not until after they had gone we 11 i rd boov had road conditions were' in some districts -particularly gong north. 'Then Partner began to ivorrt---said they should never have started out when it was so role. • I In Weyer, Daughter phoned La ('ave Friday morning and found that her uncle and cousin had both shoal) up at .he office so we were all considerably relieved on that score. 1101) r•ould still have another 501 mile, to travel fr.oni North Bay ....zed we haven't yard from him yet. Belts, the last of our visitors, \vent haste to Sunnybrook on Sun- day. She had stayed a day or .tvo longer than the rest to help me get all the extra washing done and the house set to rights. Now Partner and I are alone once more. snatch- ing a little es.ra rest, and getting hark to our ordinary, everyday chores. although ye still find it hard to realist that our happy little family gathering could end so disastrously. And yet from this, as from every new experience, we have learned a lot. and it has also given as many heart -Warning thoughts to treasure for the rest of our days. What stands out in our memory of events during the last week is the kindness of our friends. I think I mentioned that last week -but it will bear re- peating. The day of the funeral two of our neighbours came in, bringing makes and cookies with them. With- out losing any timeethey set to work, cutting sandwiches and mak- ing other preparations for tea while we were away at the service. They helped me serve refreshments to the twenty-five people who came back to the farm from the cemetery. Af-- teradards these good friends of ours washed dishes and left everything ship-shape before returning home. 1 didn't have a worry at all in that respect. That is what it means to have good neighbours. And I ant quite sure it applies to .country people throughout Ontario. Sometitnes we hear that neigh- bourliness is dying out. At times I 'have thought that too. That is to say, I have realised that neighbours 4on't visit hack and forth the way they used to -there are not the eauniber of "bees" of various kinds, or house parties like there used to be. But yet neighbourly hearts are still in the sante places; still respond as quickly as ever to those in dis- tress. Because of this kindliness that has been so very much in evi- dence, Partner's brother and his family have said over and over Help Where Most Needed -Friendly, as well as expert atten- ' tion is given this crippled patient -of the Ontario Society for :rippled Children.. The Society's annual Laster Seals appeal for funds goes to the public from February 25 to March 25. Over. 4,000 children yearly receive treatment through the Society's efforts. again, that since this sorrow had to conte to them they were };clad it happened here at (ringer Farni and not in the city. - Daugli;er said they would hate had an awful time trying to get a doctor in the middle of the night and it is doubtful if hospital accom- modation could have been secured at all. So we find plenty to be thank- ful for, even now. Well, I have just been down for the mail and found a postcard from Bob. He said he was almost stiff with cold when he got back to Matheson, and that it was 50 below zero when he arrived- Who w ouldn': be cold! Here it is one big puddle ---so wet and sloppy Sou hate to step outside -even honey. Generally she takes the paper and never stops running until she reaches the front doorstep. Today she walked all the way, pick- ing the cleanest and driest spots in the lane, and never once dropping the folder she was carrying. Surely dogs must have some kind of rea- soning power ----it can't be all in- stinct. Pluto Gets His Picture Taken Pluto, most mysterious of all the planets in the solar system, has been having its photograph taken through the world's biggest tele- scope -the 200 -inch Hale telescope on Mount Palomar, California. Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper of the Uni- versity of Chicago has been able to calculate that Pluto's size is much less than was previously supposed. This furthermost planet's diame- ter is now known to be 3,600 miles, or 46 per cent of that of the earth. It is about one-tenth of the earth's mass. Before these observations, Pluto. which was discovered only 20 years ago, was believed to be massive and heavy -a frozen and condensed world on which lite was impossible. It is the ninth planet of the solar system All the planets -the earth is one of then -circle in orbits round the sun, and Pluto is farther from the sun than any other -3,675 million miles away.

ISSUE 9i Reading This May Save Your Life A tractor is a wondesftg invention. )3ut it can't think or see, And it doesn't care whether or not you break your neck. That's the point of this story by a farm safety specialist. aee ,“1 low many mote load, alit we netts, Ball's'' asked Ted as they finished dumping another 'wagon load of gravel in the yard, "About three more should do it," answered Frank Fetters. Ire had just climbed back on the tractor scat after pulling the pin to release the wagon tongue. Now he turned toward the .pile of gravel to level it with the blade. Modern machinery is great stuff, thought Frank as t1:te gravel pile disappeared. Think ho \V much shovelling it would take to level off all this gravel by hand. Think, too, how much wort. it used to be to attach something like this blade to a tractor -or take it off. With newer equipment it can be done in a jiffy. "That does it, Ted, Now let's get this blade oft'. Hurry now, and we'll have time to get those other three loads." The blade soon was detached, and Frank raced back to t11e trac- tor seat. "Conte on, Ted, get the pin," he shouted as he backed up to the tongue. "Never iniad, I can get it myself quicker." Frank disengaged the clutch, but left the tractor in gear, then jump- ed off. He lifted up the tongue, then reached for the clutch and started the tractor backward slow- ly, But his hand slipped ... The hitch jerked out of his hand .. , The tractor pushed him against the wagon. , . . Frank might have been squashed between tractor and wagon. Ex- cept that tractor and wagon wheels met, leaving.

"See that line?" asked the ystic, pointing to the fellows palm,m "Yes,. I see it," lie returned. "What does it mean?" "It means," said the fortune- teller, gravely, "that you are going to take a trip in the very near future. To Birmingham, perhaps." When he left the fortune-teller the man headed for the railway station. "A ticket to Birmingham, please," he said. "Single or return?" - asked the booking clerk. The fellow .struck out his palm, "I don't know," he said. "Take a look!" "Do you love hie for myself alone, . Charles?" "I do. And when we're, married ) don't want any of the family thrown ill."

THE JERUSALEM ROA) Mark 10: 35-45 Memory Selection: Whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister. Mark 10:43h. With this- lesson, jesus is on His last journey from fierce across Jor- dan to Jerusalem, where He would die for the sins of the race and - then rise on the third day. On His road -to greatness by the way of the Cross, it was an inopportune time for two 'of His disciples to press their claims for positions of distinction in His kingdom. But there has always been politics in the Church.. An editor. of a church paper published an article entitled, "The Church Boss." Thirty-five irate subscribers wrote indignant letters cancelling their subscrip- tions for 41 -the personal attack made on me." "Diotrephes who loveth to have the preeminence," (3 John 9), is not dead yet. Jesus taught by precept and example that "who- soever will be great among you, shall be your minister," At the last supper it was He who girded Him- self with a towel and took a bason of Water and washed the disciples' feet. He took the lowest place, True greatness is to serve. )3y dying for us all an the Cross He demonstrated it more clearly. James and John were sincere men. When filled with the Holy Spirit, that spirit -of "rite first" gave way to a passionate desire to follow humbly in the footsteps of their aster. James early experienced the baptism of suffering. He was the first of the disciples to be mar- tyred. Acts 12:2. History says that of the eleven, only John escaped death by martyrdom, But they all served. Let us all- learn the lesson .. that greatness consists not in exer- cising authority .over others but in serving others in the spirit of our Lord. and Master, Jesus Christ.
