PRAYER OPENED THE WAY "I felt so desperately at a loss that I began to pray -out of a heart that had long been too proud to recoguize the Ten Commandments. T did not pray in vain. If one who has lost hope will lift her heart in prayer, she will find the answer to a new life. "Disregard nien who condemn you, They accuse you of what they've been guilty of, ten times over. Only God stands by. "Many times in the future 1 will meet people who know my past. Somehow, 1 Mn no longer roncern-. ed about what they think or say. 1 know if I keep on having courage, God will be any friend. "May .I add a word to the girls and boys who have been lucky enough not to have made serious rnistakes so far? Don't play with fire. It's a losing game. Save your love for the plan or woman you marry, for one you will be proud to have as the father or mother of your children. "To those who are quick to judge others -especially girls -who are you to judge? Don't add to the sadness that weighs them down, Say something helpful -or at least say nothing, but whisper a prayer for them. "And of those kind people who read this column, 1 ask your prayers -for vie, and all the other girls who are struggling to stay on the straight and narrow path." ANON. '' This truth will help too: "The " case for chastity," says the Rev. ° John R.

" TO "ANON." You have shade your point admirably. Many a • girl, forsaken and desperate, had fund her way back through a a' return to the faith of her child- * hood, From that faith has conte • humility and a confidence in her- * self which !teals her spirit and " brings the courage that carries " her on from day to day.

The weather is bad enough and then comes all this talk about frozen milk prices and dairy delivery amen who insist on higher wages or else . Before we can get that straightened out in our minds we start wondering if the U.N. Forces will cross the 38th Parallel . . . and then what? Then our sympathy is aroused for the poor people in the prairie pro- • vinces at present in 'the grip of a paralysing blizzard. We know, from personal • experience, what a prairie storm can be like. And, of course, we wonder- what the weath- erman has in store for us in On- tario. But in the middle -of all this along comes St. Patrick's Day. And you know, there is something about St. Patrick's Day -a sort of irre- sistible charm. We speak of • the "luck of the Irish" but maybe luck is the outcome of a never -say -die disposition -an attitude tow*rds life. Be that as it may it is cheering to listen to the lovely old Irish melo- dies -there is a lift and a lilt to most of them that is _good for the soul. Funny thing about the Irish we hear thein spoken of as being hot-headed and fanatical, and sometimes other uncomplimentary things, but yet everyone who has a drop of Irish blood in his veins is proud to proclaim it. And I . among the many. I have never set foot on Irish soil yet it's glad I am to admit that my father was an Irishman. Well, I guess everyone is watch- ing the milk situation with interest, If a strike of delivery men does materialize many city folk will be shy of milk -and tate farmers have too much of it. Maybe the price freeze was all right for a working basis but why on milk only? Why not on bread? A few weeks ago bread was boosted another cent yet it hardly created a ripple. Go down town chopping, and upon my word, the price jumps on some things irefore you can get from one end of the store to the other. And yet retail sales are greater note• than they ever were, Nine people out of then say they are not making a decent living -yet spending is on the increase It just doesn't stake sense, Wonder how it would he if we had an "Economy Week" along with all the other special days and weeks we are now supposed to observe. 1 don't ima- gine it would he too popular. I was thinking only the other day of an old proverb which says "Cut your gartuent according to your doth." Good advice -hut we don't do that any more --in fact, just the opposite. We decide on the garment we want, and the quan- tity and quality of material required and then by hook or by crook we get the material necessary for the garment of our elmice---a method which lacks the principle upon trltiell future prosperity is based. It definitely isn't the principle which guided the early pioneers when they came to estab'ish new IIO1nC6 in Canada. *But it still exists among some of the newcomers to C,a.uaCla. .A few days ago 1 visited at the Bovie of some New Canadians. The house had a minimum of furniture and there was very little heat in any of the rooms. From their con- e ersation I gathered the family lived well but on plain, whoicsome icod. There were very few toys in evidence -but there were plenty (>f children, and a happier, health- ier family it; would be bard to find. The t:lrildren were also very well behaved -no whining around their mother ---".t want this, Mummy . I want thatt" That young couple were, I am sure, "cutting their garment to fit the clotih," and it is my guess that in a few years those same people will be slaking a comfortable living and the chil- dren will appreciate what they get because they will have known what it is not to have everything they watit directly they want it. Occa- sionally there is some resentment if brew Canadians get ahead faster than those who have been resident in Canada for years -probably born here. The reason for their success is often easy to find. They are con- tent to keep down their standard of living until they can afford some- thing better. Surely they deserve credit for so doing. Well, just in case anyone is interested, 1 .managed to get out one day to our Institute quilting, And what a beautiful quilt it is -pieced. and put together, and the material donated to the Institute by one of our members. When fin- ished it will be sold. 1 believe it is what is known as the Sunburst pattern -shaped like a large eight - pointed star and made up in dia- mond shaped blocks in lovely shades of yellow, pink, blue and green on a powder blue background. Travel Light, Ladies, And Enjoy Your Trip Having recently returned from a 22 months' trip to Africa attd Europe, and after many previous business trips to urope, I have filially discovered that tate wise traveller is the one who travels light, writes Lily E. Hef'ternlan its the Christian Science Monitor. A small but well-chosen wardrobe will snake the trip much more pleasant. Try it, Should porters be scarce, you then can cope with your own luggage. I suggest one large suitcase and an overnight size as ample for all your needs. To simplify the cosmetics situa- tion, buy the new plastic bottles and jars, also a plastic bag for soap fiflakes. It requires very little roost and of course lightens the bag. Your wardrobe should include three or four slits. First choose your basic colors, for instance, navy and brown, preferably a light sable or cocoa brown. A third color must be introduced, and I would sug- gest red. Now let us see what we can do. Five changes are poss'h1e with the following: Navy wool suit Navy novelty skirt (navy back- ground) Navy and white skirt Navy twin sweater set White blouse, navy cotton cami- sole top. Red belt To the foregoing combination add the possibility of five more changes: Pale blue wool or Shantung shit Blouse or sweater to match nse red belt with blue and brown) Brown and blue -striped cotton skirt - Brown and white pique camisole or halter top Four more changes are possible by adding: Beige or sable brown cotton or linen suit, to be worn with Camisole top from above, red belt Beige print blouse. Also use blue biome from above and Brown skirt from above Two good, simple and dressy•• type afternoon dresses should be included in the travel wardrobe, plain color and a print, to be worn with the same accessories. If possible, a two-piece evening gown, say, of lace, should go with you, and if you can buy a print skirt, then you can wear the lace skirt over the print and again you can put the red belt to use. Be sure the belt is a bit on the dressy side. I had one that had heads all around it. It was much admired and cer- tainly most useful. A short fur or dressy tweed coat is essential. You will need only two or three sets of underwear - you can weal' only one at a time - six pairs of hose (buy the extras as you go along). A fine lightweight wool robe is a protection from the cold and takes up little room, asty? Sure, they're ' i; baked GINGER CUP PUDDINGS Mix and sift twice, then sift into a bowl, Y f f c.

The origin of site, !historically, autedatea the human race. Jude r. 6 refers to "the angels which kept not their first estate," The serpent's approach to Eve set a pat- tern which ia followed by many teachers today, "Yea," is the diplo- matic affirmative. Then conies the• question to raise doubt, "lfath God said?" Then came the critical intim- ation that no restraints shouid he placed upon desire. "Fe shall not eat of every tree of the garden." Eve replied by' saying they might eat of all but one and "God hath said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." 'Then cavae the. Satanic sneer, "Ye shall not surely die," Many are trapped by such tactics today, Professing to be friends of the Bible, 'false teachers deliberately raise doubts and appeal to man's dewire for complete indul- gence. Eve made the mistake when she listened to the Templer. "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (Janes 4:7). Then she looked at the forbidden fruit. It appealed to the desire of the flesh: it was good to eat. It was pleasant to the eyes and to be desired to make one wise: It appealed to the lust of the eye and the pride of life. 'When Jesus was thus tempted he answered the threefold appeal with verses of Scripture. Eve took and ate and gave to her lhusband. Our first parents soon learned that the Tempter was a deceiver. Yes, they now knew good and evil but they were ashamed and tried to hide from God. Guilt was on them. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent but all were cursed. But even in this hour of dark and fear- ful tragedy, there was a glimmer of light. The seed of the woman would bruise the serpent's head. Four thousand years later; One would be born of a virgin who would be able to give sinful, fallen man, victory over sin. That One is Jesus Christ the Son of God. He triunfphed over all temptation to sin and over death, hell and the grave, By repentance of our suns and faith in this trium- phant Saviour we may be forgiven of our sins and cleansed from the inward pollution.
