FACTS ABOUT CANADA Halifax, N.S.—Lobsters were not quite so plentiful in May, 1923, as in the same month a year ago, the catches being 187,678 cwt. and 169,545 cwt. respectively. Since the com- mencement of the lobster fishing sea- son 155,671 cwt. have been taken. Of this. quantity 38,288 cwt, have been shipped fresh and 50,262 cases cann- ed. In_ the same period last year 203,808 cwt. were taken, of which• 47,670 cwt. were sold fresh and 78,117 cases canned. tance of four hundred miles. Mrs. Wang belonged to an old, respected family. There was by nature a cer- tain queenly element in her which made her an undaunted Christian. She had become convinced that foot - binding was wrong, and thus she fully expected to have her daughters' feet freed from the bandages as soon as they entered school, When the new shoes and stockings were pro- ducedprocess unbinding and the be- gan, the mother at first smiled ap- provingly saying, "God's will be done, let the feet be unbounded." Then her face quivered with emotion and the slow tears came. She wrung her hands and walked restlessly up and down the room. "Unbind only the feet of one, and let the other child's remain hound," she begged piteously. And then she reproached herself for her weakness. It was the conflict between the old life and the new, and it cost to give up the old ways. The tiny foot was a sign of gentility, of high social standing, and family pride put in its claim. But the new faith triumphed over the old custom and Mrs. Wang's face became quiet and earnest. Go on," she said, "it shall be done." Thus the victory was won in the life of that stately woman of an ancient race. Some months later, Sarah went home to Shan;-tung for her first vacation. As she rode in her cart through the country, her large feet provoked many comments. Beggars, taking her for a man, followed the cart cry- ing out: "Venerable uncle, pity me, pity me!" She overheard some one say, "This, finally ,is what kind of a person? The head is that of a maid- en, but the feet are like those of a man. What can it be?" Thus it cost Sarah as well as her mother to give up the Old customs and dare the scorn of her' oineentors. She was eleven years old when she returned to school at the end of the vacation. In her native village they had ridi- culed and even insulted the girl who had come home with unbound feet, the first girl ever seen in that region with_ feet of natural size. Sarah went to Mess Porter crying as if her heart would break, and declared that never again did she want•to go home Then it was that the young Ameri- can teacher who had herself faced criticism in the home country, and open hostility in China, put nerve and courage in the shrinking Chin- ese girl. It always means suffering to be a pioneer in any work of those who are to follow in the way you have trod, can you not bear it?" And then she appealed to the girl Christian in the name of her Christ. "Can you not do this for his sake? Will you not help his cause by bear- ing this hardship? Go home evti`ry vacation and tell your villagers that it is for love of a new-found God that you removed the bandages which deform the body He claims for His temple. Keep on telling, and after a while they will understand, and you will have served your Saviour and made things easier for all other girls who shale unbind their feet." SLNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR AUGUST 12th, 1923 Lesson Title—Martha and Mary. . Lesson Passage—Luke 10 : 38-42 ; Mark 14 : 3-9. Golden Text—Luke 10 : 42. Let us visit together an old picture gallery and together let us gaze up- on three pictures depicting scenes in New Testament times. The story of the first and third pictures is to bo found in to -day's lesson, the second in John 11:20-32. The first picture shows us the in- terior of an Eastern home. There are three figures on the canvas—two in the foreground and one dimly die- concernible in the background. The two prominent ones show us one re- clining on a couch, the other sitting at His feet; it is master and scholar. This gives us an insight into the meaning of Christian living. The first requisite is to be a learner and Mary's attitude, in sitting at Jesus' feet, expresses humility, which is the very foundation of Christian living. It is recorded that St. Augustine on being asked what was the first step to Heaven answered, "humility," land the second "humility," and the third "humility." So in this picture Mary, in her attitude, embodies all three steps. But what of that figure away in the background? She is evidently leaving the room and the story, con- nected with this picture, tells us she had been in complaining to the Mas- ter that her sister was neglecting her work:—"Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me." She went out with new thoughts about life. Never again Would she reproach her sister. If she were tempted to do so the gentle gaze, the pleading voice and the re- proving words of the Master would come back to her:—"Martha, Mar- tha, thou art careful and troubled about many things; but one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." The next picture unveiled before us (John 11 : 20-32) shows us that Martha has been learning in the school of experience; a great sorrow has come into their lives and she stands now on the same level as the one who was commended for choos- ing the better part. This picture shows an outdoor scene. At one end of the canvas is a group of men on a journey. At the other end is a sol- itary figure hastening to meet them, and as she, Martha, carnes near with outstretched hands, she cries out to the Master: "Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother had not died." Tke story tells how she ran away back and said to her sister: "The Master cometh and calleth for thee." Mary rose up and went to meet him and used the very same words as Martha, indicating complete confi- dence in the Master's power to help. We pass now to gaze upon the third picture—Mark 14 : 3-9. It is also the 'interior of an East- ern home. The festive hoard is spread; the host and his guests are all present and in addition two oth- ers. The one, Martha, busy serving the guests; the other, Mary, stand- ing behind the guest of honor, is wiping His feet with her flowing tres- ses. The story that accompanies this picture tells us she has just broken over His feet a box of pre-, cious ointment and the house was fill- ed with the odor of the ointment. Again, there is complaint made of Mary's waste, not of time, but of precious ointment this time. Martha is not the complainant, however. She knows better now, having had her eyes opened to see that there are dif- ferent' ways of serving. It is the spirit in which the work is done, not the work itself that counts, has come home to her. These three pictures are all we need to point out to us the essential attributes of Christian living. We must all be learners, some learning one way, some another, until we know the meaning of simple trust and from that pass on to Where we can serve Him as did Martha with her waiting on tables, or as did Mary, with her most precious gift. 'Learn- ing, trusting, sacrificing, we glorify God in our bodies and our spirits un- til we are called home to serve in His presence. WORLD MISSIONS Chinese Pioneers.

Mader Clinton Hansel YC1►tt11, _- — seendals of the place they con- tribute to the housing problem, and eventually to the problem of he re lief authorities. Mica Nell Newman, fiinancial aec- retarY to the Hollywood Studio Club, says that girls without dramatic training should not go to Holly- wood, and Mary Pickford adds:— "The dds:"The picture business is very, dif- ferent from the days when most of the persons now starring were play- ing extra parts. Therefore, to say that big stars to -day were once ex- tras is no argument in favor of girls starting at the bottom with an idea of climbing to the top. On the other hand, one cannot say that be - eause conditionsaredifferent they will not succeed. Success cannot be governed by set rules or bound by conventions. White hard work will help immeasurably to achieve it, it is in n0 sense a guarantee. Miss Pickford says that before going to Hollywood every girl should have enough money to last her a year. She would also make sure that she had dramatic' ability, and the best way to discover this ability is to make experiments in a stock com- pany if one is available. This, by the way is what bliss Pickford did herself when she began her career in Toronto, though whatever talent she then gave promise of was hard- ly proportionate to the success she later achieved. She continues: "Next, I would find out how I screened, especially if it was my intention to try to be- come a star. While it is not alto- gether necessary that one he pretty, it is imperative that one have what we call a 'camera face.' I would take with me as many different pho- tographs of myself as I could ob- tain. The greater variety the better chance you have of being chosen. A large and diversified wardrobe is also valuable. Oftentimes players are required to furnish their own clothes, and an insufficient wardrobe frequently prevents a• talented girl from obtaining a part ,which might mean much toward advancement, There are many players in films making good salaries who will never be stars. But there are manly heart- aches, many disappointments, many obstacles and for every one who suc- ceeds there naturally must be many who fail. I would take the precau- tion to see that I had something else —stenography, writing, sales experi- ence—something, at least, that I could fall back on in case I did not realize my ambition of becoming a movie star." Miss Newman contributes the not sensational testimony that most of the girls who go to Hollywood are low mentally. All authorities are agreed that no matter how talented or lovely a girl is, if one does not photograph well she will not suc- ceed in the films, and many charm- ing girls lack this peculiar gift. Unless an applicant has a letter of introduction or a particularly strik- ing appearance the chance is that she will never even see the casting di- rector. Indeed, if all applicants saw him he would have no time for any other task than looking at them. In the sik years that one licensed employment bureau has been in operation in Hollywood 125,000 have filled out registration cards, and to- day there are 3,000 regulars who constantly walk round to bureaus in hope of picking up a few dollars as extras. In addition there is an- other army of 4,700 that can be got on the telephone. With all these people of experience on the gi'ound the chances of any but an extraord- inary outsider breaking in are neg- ligible. FARMS FOR SALE HOLLYWOOD CROWDED BY THE SCREEN -STRUCK "Merton of the Movies," although delightful fiction, presented apparent- ly no exaggerated picture of the youth who aimed to become a fam- ous screen star. This is indicated br the fact that the Studio Club of Hollywood, under the direction of the National headquarters of the Y. W. C. A., plans to build a new home to house girls who are stranded ,after reaching the picture lots. Girls pour in, though not to the extent that the young men do. Each of them be- lieves that she may become a star actress, whereas the vast majority have '10 talent and not the slightest chance of making a living by the pic- tures, much less becoming rich and famous through that medium. They cannot be kept away like immi- grants. No general warning is suf- ficient to discourage them. A girl may know that ten thousand other girls have been rejected, but this does not in the least weaken her be- lief that she will succeed. Hun- dreds of these girls are victims of the various swindlers who pretend to prepare them, via correspondence, for success in the studios. The certainty is that by the thousand each year girls and men will arrive at Holly wood and will be unable to find em- ployment there. It is necessary that they should be taken care of for the time being. Two or three years ago the num- ber of boys and girls who were to be seen wandering around Holly- wood seeking employment was reck- oned by the -dozen. Now it is reck- oned by the hundred. One esti- mator says that seventy-five arrive each day. A curious thing- is that practically all of them have in mind various screen stars whom they be- lieve they resemble and whom they mean to excel. Comparatively few have any idea of branching out orig- inally. They think they can do the stuff that Charlie Chaplin or Harold Lloyd or Tom Mix does, or that they were just cut out for such parts as Mary Pickford plays. This fact in itself is sufficient to brand them as predestined failures because people do not become illustrious by imita- tion but by developing whatever of originality/ they may happen to pos- sess. There are perhaps hundreds of thousands of mothers in the. United States who are convinced that their own sons are more charm- ing than Jackie Coogan and who deem Mrs. Coogan the luckiest tic, - mein in the world. They flock to Hollywood with their offspring, and While they do not contribute ,to the An ACRE FARM FOR SALE. OWN1131 will Appb ail .o.a. reSonHAeS, tems ofr00a.0, zM.
