In spite of all the mean things they've said about me I have no ill feelings, and think I could grow to love thein. "I come from a good family - not rich, but we all have a fine life together. I've a good job, belong to the nicest organizations in town, and have loads of friends. They are as amazed at all this as I am. "He is 30, I'm 25. Surely he should have a mind of his own?

Let him know you are * only fond of him, and not in love, * If you remain at home, his at- * tentions will be comforting -and * you will need all the comfort you * can get. * Love will surely come to you * again. Don't marry anybody you * do not love, even though you're * sorry for him, or think he'll make * a good husband. It would not be * fair to you nor to him. * * * If anything comes between you and the man you love, give him time to make up his mind. -But not too long , . .

Warren, B.A. B.D. A DOUBTING AND DISOBEDIENT PEOPLE Number 14: 16 1-11 Memory Selection: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. When the children of Israel had spent nearly a year -twelve men, one from each tribe, spied out the land. In forty days they returned bringing of the fruit of the land. All agreed that it was a land flow- ing with milk and honey, But ten men were fearful of the inhabitants and proceeded to impart their fear to the people. Caleb said, "Let us go up at once, and possess it:" The majority report won and the people longed to be back in Egypt. Indeed when Joshua and Caleb fur- ther urged the people saying, "The Lord is with us; fear them not," the congregation was about to stone them when the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle. God threatened to destroy the people and raise up a nation to Moses. But !loses interceded in prayer. God forgave but determined that all the adults except Caleb and Joshua would die in the wilderness in forty years of wanderings. How strange is human nature. When they heard God's verdict they presumed to en- ter the land. But this offered step of obedience and faith was too late. They were smitten by the en erny. God was patient with the children of Israel. There is a pathos in the story of their wanderings and doubts and fears. The record is given us that we may profit from their mistakes. We have a great God, We need not fear. I..et us go forward in faith. CROSSWORD RD PUZZLE tOss 2. SigntfY Hla.*a le 3. Mountain in 7. Frightened Crate 13. Buy back 4. Exist 14. Kind 5. Give 15.

Oh no . wonderful woman ... I stayed at homel Except Thursday, that was our W.I. meeting, and being on the lunch committee I felt morally bound to put in an appearance. And then I had to stay put until the man of the house came alnpg to help turn me around. He was' away all afternoon you know how men have a way of disappearing every time there is a bunch of women around. That same night our local Horticultural Society had engaged Mrs. Joan Copeland, from the Port Credit Violet House, to address their meeting. Her sub- ject, of course, was African violets. I didn't want to drive, and I didn't want to miss the meeting so I took a taxi downtown and got a ride home with a neighbor. It was a big meeting -men and women too - and every one of those people was interested in growing African violets. Mrs. Cope- land spoke of this urge to grow violets as a disease -you get the bug the very first time someone gives you a leaf and says -"Put it in water or soil -it'll grow!" Most of what Mrs. Copeland told us I had already read in various magazine articles, yet hearing it at first-hand was a lot more impres- sive. And here is something I had not heard before. The little leaves that form on the outside of the main stein should always be pinch- ed off. They are suckers, said Mrs. Copeland, and absorb a tremendous amount of strength from the par- ent plant. The only leaves to be retained are the ones that grow from the centre. The next morning I pinched all the suckers off my plants -and there were quite a few. Over -watering is a sure way to kill your violets, we were told. A Pay -as -you -go -Settle it on the spot, is the motto of the motorist who left a dollar bill and his parking ticket (arrow) attached to the parking meter in Minnea- polis. it was a nice gesture, but not fully satisfactory to police because the fine for parking violations is two dollars. land told us what ailed the poor ones and gave a prize for the best. After the meeting closed we gath- ered around those plants like bees round a honeypot. Bored! No one even looked at the clock ... except maybe a few husbands who had called to pick up their violet -loving wives. Maybe they looked at the clock a good many tines. Anyway Partner had no room to talk -he was out to a Milk Board meeting the night before -and' he also returned at 11:30. Now I ask you, by any stretch of imagination, could milk be as interesting as African violets? Sure, I know it is more profitable ... but interest- ing! Controversial would be a bet- ter word to describe it. The milk question is about as un- settled as the cease-fire negotia- tions at the U.N. Conference. * * * Well, the Royal Tour has ended. I hope everyone heard Princess Elizabeth's farewell address. It seemed to me there was a rather sad, wistful quality in her voice that had not been there on previ- ous occasions. It was the voice of sincerity, giving expression to a heartfelt feeling of appreciation and gratitude for the royal way in which Canada had wlecomed its Royal visitors, In some way, 1 be- lieve the visit of this young couple has meant more to the people of Canada than did the visit of the King and Queen. We have seen thein, met .them and heard them. No longer can they be regarded as figureheads but rather as a nornai lovable couple, whose only differ- ence from other normal, lovable couples lies in the fact that Des- tiny has placed them in higher pieces. In Detroit, in spite of protests, man kept adding cats to his family circle until it consisted of 22 cats and one wife. Now he has only the twenty-two cats -his wife left him and got a divorce.
