And a free pattern is printed in the boob. i A few people cannot read the Bi- ble, but everybody can pray, How true are the words of Tennyson, "More things are wrought by'pray- ev than this world dreams of," Our Lord gave us a pattern for prayer. We too often glibly repeat it with- out entering into, the spirit there- of. In this prayer ive come in rev- erence as a child to his father. Yet it is not "my Father" but "our Father." We belong to .a great fa- mily. Our first petition is not for self but for God's Kingdom. We ask forgiveness, recognizing our own obligation to forgive. The golden text is a decided challenge. The knock of importun- ity. will 'procure for us all that we need. God can distinguish • our needs from our wants. He will supply the former. Prayer is com- munion with God, In the* last part of the lesson we have a glimpse of the prayer of in- tercession. Too many professed Christians never get past, "Lord, give me." But the growing Chris- tian is burdened for the welfare of others. Paul ivas such a man. He lived to serve. The world needs more intercessors: more peopie'who cart pray the fervent effectual pray- er in behalf of others. "Prayer is the soul's sincere de- sire, Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. O thou, by whom we come to • God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer thyself hast trod: Lcrd, teach us how to pray l" YOUR TURN NOW A club of eccentric young men had for one of. their rules that oil Tuesday- evenings any man who ask- ed in the clubroom a question which he was unable to answer him- self should pay a fine of ten shill- ings. One evening Tomkinson ask- ed: "Why doesn't a ground squirrel leave any dirt around the top of his !tole when he digs it?" After some deliberation he was called upon to answer his own ques- tion. "That's easy," he said, "The squirrel starts at the bottom and digs up." .111 very nice," suggested a mem- ber, "but how does it get to the bottom?" "That's your question," answered Tomkinson. UNBLESSED EVENT "Henry, darling," she murmured. "I hardly knee how to tell you, but—soon—soon—there will be a third sharing our little love -nest." "Sweetheart," he rried, "are you certain',*' "Positive," she replied, "I had a letter from mother this morning saying she's coming to live_ with us next month."

"Listen," he•, said. .I lis- tened. What I heard was something like the whirring of machinery. "What on earth '." I began. "Watch the oak tree;" said Partner. So I watched. Soon I noticed the tree was absolutely alive -with star- lings—and they, of. course, were responsible for all. the noise. A lit- tle fartlier away another • tree: had also. apparently been selected as• a' meeting place and the birds began flying hack and forth from dtie tree to another. I. never: saw s ;,iixariy starlings in all my life—ain� Colin to think of it, it was the day after the smoke haze had- cleared away, so maybe even the starlings got somewhat confused. We are 'also thinking the stroke was indirectly responsible for the sudden arrival of the lovely autumn colours. The smoke prevented the sun's rays from reaching the earth so we got cold weather and frost and that automatically decked out the tree's for us in colours of red and gold. Logical, isn't it? What- ever the reason the country is really beautiful . . it would be nice to drive for miles and miles through wooded country although actually that is hardly necessary for us because We have scenery within a ten -mile radius of home that would certainly be hard to b eat. This has been a busy week and even now I have hardly got my bearings, as it were. I was away from home for two days and im- mediately afterwards came our local fair—also daughter and a friend arrived from Toronto, It was a wonderful clay for the fair and from all accounts it gets bigger and better --very year—which speaks well for the Fair board responsible for the complicated business of or.. ganizing the show. Unfortunately for hie, by that time I was slightly ! under the weather and so was not , able to go . , , and I did so want , to see the Women's Institute exhi- bits, However, even if I did not get to the Fair I was compensated to a certain extent by a caller who arrived while I was alone with a huge armful of gladioli, Most of thein I put in' tall containers but one stalls I used as an experiment, breaking off the blooms and ar- ranging them in a bed of foliage as the floript had shown us in tier demonstration the week before. The result was very effective. Well, well --again the main worry with housewives seems to be flies. Flies that had taken to their winter quarters have now come out of hiding to bask in the 'bright warm sun, And now they are out they are so stupid all they can do is flop around and buz until they pretty nearly drive you crazy. So we have flies in the house, and if we go out- side to escape them we are imme- diately confronted with a• cloud of gnats. As for cobwebs—it just seems that spiders you don't even see spill webs while you wait either indoors or out, So it looks as if everything that creeps, crawls or flies is out to enjoy our Indian sum- mer, Oh yes, it is certainly grand weather but already farmers are beginning to loon anxiously for rain, Never satisfied, are we? 3ut after all, when you have spent days and days working tip a field, ao.d have bought fertilizer and sowed your wheat, you do !tope for a little atnuel Lehirvan owes .his life to: elonging to liis nother; Mrs. -ht fire broke out in their apart- nali.on her ch -,eek. The totally her children and all fled to co-operation from the weatherman; don't you? But if ,things are not going your way you can forget your worries for a while if you have something interesting to read. That is what I was doing last week—digging into a' very iii erest- ing boot: where I learnt some sur- prising things. It was "Life Among The Doctors". by Paul De Kruif and I was' particularly interested in a chapter describing the research work of Dr. Alvin F. Coburn—a Naval 'M.O. in the U.S.A.—in con- nection with rlieunnatic fever. Ap- parently research has brought to 1'ght a strange fact—that while all sore throats do not develop into rheumatic fever, yet all cases of rheumatic fever that were investi- gated revealed that there had been a certain type of sore thr;at before- hand. Then it would clear up and for two iveeks' the patient: would show no sign of sickness. Then a sudden flare-up and he would be down with flneumatic fever. Dr. Co- burn began experimenting w;tli diet and it was found that patients given as much as 8 egg -yolks a day fol- lowing the sore throat did not de- velop the fever. The next move was to discover what there was in egg -yolk that prevented infection. Research was well under way, sup- ported by the, Kellog Foundation, when it was suddenly withdrawn. Dr. Coburn could not carry on without money so, unless there have been discoveries since this book was written the riddle of the egg -yolk is still unsolved, But thele is nothing to stop anyone with a sore throat eating egg-yolks—they couldn't do nearly as much harm as might be caused by swallowing a whole lot of patent medicine. OBLIGING A young teacher, temporarily without a school, substituted for a friend who was on her honeymoon. A few weeks later the newly- weds and the teacher friend .were at the same party and the hostess started to introduce the groom to the wife's friend. "Oil," lie interrupted brightly, "I know Miss Rose very well. In fact, she. substituted for Illy wife oil our h0neynv-1oni" 1 "Dear Anne Hirst: I am in love with a married man and I don't know what to do.

Blyth $30,OO1D apiece for going to the dogs, Tiley are professional dingo (wild ,dog) destroyers, and their average bag is 50-100 a week. They are paid a basic wage of $40 a week, ten dol- lars camping allowance, and $5 for each skin they bring in, *for no claims are allowed unless some part of the animal is produced. For them the job is not difficu]t, but for the average city dweller it would be impossible. Dingoes worry sheep and cattle, and cacti year kill or maim tens of thousands, They are extremely cunning, and ift they know that a Bunter is on their trail they evade him. But these two men have been schooled in every trick the dinge. canproduce. As the dingoes roam over a wide area, traps and gins are useless, and the only'way to exter- minate them is by tracking there down and shooting—often at night when the animals, are moving fast. Thus, both Allen and Blyth have - to be marksmen of a High order. ► N >� ?i JIFFY "And the RELIEF IS LASTING For fast, prolonged relief from headache get INSTANTInx.
