Golden Text—Whosoever believ• eth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and everyone that loveth hint that begat loveth hitt also that is begotten of hint.— I John 5:1. It is frequently said, "It docs• n't matter what one believes as long as the is sincere about it." This is a grave error and would be laughed out of court in any field except religion. For example; the Hurn was quite sincere when he swallowed arsenic thinking it was baking soda, He died in spite of his sincerity, John points out that the stir ac1e: were signs recorded that "ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye Wright have life through His name." In this sci• entific age some have difficulty iii believing miracles, But these are not stumbling blocks to faith if we remember that the fact that Jesus walked on the sea, fed a multitude with of lad's lunch, heal - cd the sick and rai.ed the dead are not the deeds of a stere !min but evidences that the iron Jesus was the Son of God. Relieve in I1int and receive life and you will have no difficulty believing the record of 1lis miracles, * Gaud beliefs are not sufficient, Paul exhorts Timothy, "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doc- trine; continue in theta: for in do- ing this thou shalt both save thy- self, hyself, and them that hear thee?" Doctrine is only effective as it is translated into experiences. \\'hen we are horn of God, we love IIint and keep I-Iis command- ments. \\'e also love the children of God. Ile that is born of God over - cometh the world. The Christian life is not one of defeat. 11' faith he is victorious, Ile has no oc• casion for worry for Ire knows that in everything Cod is working for his good. Financially, he has the promise, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." If you would have satisfaction, poise, calm when all is stormy about you, victory both within and without, believe on Jesus Christ, the Son of God and experience the new birth. It will help you in every way. Your Ilandwriting and You Alex S.y Arnott Handwriting Identification As I sit in the theatre watching a Hollywood murder mystery I cannot help but smile at the mel- odrama which takes place with the young hero tracking down hood- lums and gangsters single•hattded, or perhaps i should add with the assistance of his lady love. The detectives involved in the picture are apparently baffled and are not clever enough to apprehend the crooks and are consequently help- less to do anything until our hero, after discovering numerous clues eventually corners the culprits which he gives over to the police. '/'Itis is done only after a wild chase, an exhibition of gtfnplay or possibly a fist fight to finish out a rousing good thriller. It is positively amazing the police ac- complishments these movie heroes are able to attain without the as• sistance of criminal technicians. As a matter of fact, in every day life the detective is a particularly clever person, well-trained in Itis job of crime detection, so much so in fact, that he docs not hesi- tate to call upon the criminal ex• perts for advice and special tech- nical wort: in following tip clues which may be the means of "crack- ing" a puzzling crime. In many criminal eases, the handwriting identification expert stakes complete evidence after checking all questions involving forged cheques, altered documents, age of ink, identification of writ- ten documents, the validity of stti• cide notes, love letters, and other written evidence which may be uecesary itt court to prove inno• cence or guilt of the person or persons on trial, Handwriting identification ex- perts, chemists, fingerprint ex- perts, ballistics examiners, and other well-trained personnel, each experienced in their profesion, make up the staff of the modern police force. Without the assist• ance of these specialists the work of bringing critninals to justice would be very difficult.

Of course to be able to stake these summaries, daily or weekly accounts are also necessary— and for that purpose the 'little black notebook that so many farmers carry around in their instal' pocket docs very well!

Rubber Gloves After you have wont rubber gloves doing various household chores your hands may swell or per spire from the exercise, The gloves are then often hard to roll off. A quick, simple way to loosen one without damaging the rubber in any way is to hold the hand un• der the cold water faucet and let the water run under the glove cuff into the palm of the hand. This im- mediatcly shrinks the hands and loosens the glove, It is then easy to turn back over the hand and slip off. Once re- moved, hold the glove up to drain the water out. lint it is better to wait until it is dry to turn the glove back to its normal shape.

Every- where about her people were light hearted and gay and busily wishing their friends good fortune for the coming year. She buttoned her coat at the neck and turned up thi collar, It ttas a bitterly cold day and she told herself she would be happy to reach home and stay in for the night. Let those with pio neer blood go out and stand in the raw wind down at Dayton Circle just to blow a silly horn at mid- night ostensibly to usher in the new year. Penny had always been known at home as a sensible girl with good common sense, She was proud of that reputation and now that she lived in the city alone she was more determined than ever to live up to it. She didn't want to become a sophisticated, worldly wise city girl. Thus, she summed up ment- ally, it was just as well she didn't. "Going out tonight, Penny:" The words interrupted her thoughts and she turned to greet Ruby, a fellow worker who was al- ways going out with someone she called 'Beanie." You could always tell the status of Ruby's romance by her mood. If she was exuberant to the point of being giddy, she was "But her foot missed and came down on a sheet of Ice." going to sec Beanie that night; if she was quiet and petulant, she was downright rude with a sarcastic twist to every remark she made, then they had quarreled. Penny smiled. "No, I'm not, Ruby," she replied, Odd that she should feel such emptiness within her as she said the words. She not- ed Ruby's quick glance of sympathy and it irritated her. "I don't know anyone here," she defended herself. Then added curtly, "And anyway, I wouldn't dream of going out in such ghastly weather," Ruby shrugged, "Oh, well, if you feel that tray about it . . . happy new year, Penny." She hurried away before the wretched girl could stake any response, "Now why did I act so nasty?" she asked under her breath. Ruby hadn't meant any offense—she was simply so wrapped up in her own little world that she felt sorry for any- one who had no Beanie to whom to belong, She was essentially a gener' ous person and now Penny had de- liberately hurt her. As she stood in the middle of the sidewalk, angry and discour- aged, she saw her bus speeding THIS CURIOUS WORLD Canada's Wedding Gift to Princess Elizabeth—This wedding gift of silver was presented by Prime Minister King on behalf of Canada to Princess I-aizabeth. Learning that Princess Elizabeth had desired antique silver for a table service, selection of the silver was made, for Canada, by Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone. The service consists of a Georg 1 recklessly down the street and with- out another thought to anything else she hurried toward the corner. "Wait, oh, wait!" she called, runn- ing breathlessly. No one else was waiting, however, and he careened sharply off the curb, hurrying on his way. "Oh, dear!" She burst into tears at this new dissappoint- ment and reached blindly for the curb, But her foot missed and cane down on a sheet of ice sending her into an astonished heap in the street. For a moment she was too stun- ned to stove, She heard footsteps hurrying toward her and managed to sit up dazedly, A man knelt down beside her but his face was a blur of features, "Take it easy," he admonsihed, placing an arm a- cross her back, She tried to focus hc. eyes upon hint and hadn't quite succeeded when he cried, "Penny! Why, Penny Lindsay! What in the world are you doing out here?" And then everything cleared and she saw the handsome, blond fea- tures of a former school friend. "Oh, Alan!" Tears tumbled over each other in hasty exit. He helped her to her feet, "Gcc, it's good to see someone from the old home town. I've been so doggone lonely," he told her, manipulating a hand- kerchief around her nose and eyes. "I'm lonely, too," she gasped. "I've only been here a month." "Sayl What are you doing to- night? Anything?" "N -nothing." Her heart skipped a beat in anticipation. "Then why don't we go some- where and talk over old times? Gee, I'm dying to hear some gossip about the Turners and the Mit- chels and all the t -st, Will you Penny?" And Penny smiled happily this time. "Yes, Alan. Even this ghast- ly weather couldn't stop me from talking over old times with you,' A As Interpreted A young wife, wishing to an- nounce the birth of her first child to a friend in a distant city, tele- graphed: "Isaiah 9:6" Which passage be- gins: 'Tor onto us a child is born, unto us a son is given."

A Haven For Mannie By ANNA E. WILSON Wind, broad -shouldered Joel said, was just air in motion; all wind was the same. But Mannie, putting a tired hand to her head, pressing it against that spot of pain above her eye, decided that Joel nntst be wrong. 'There were all kinds of wind; but the worst, s'as this wind that blew for days until it got into your head and burned a tight band about your forehead. loci came in to dinner. "It trust let up soon, Mannie, It's never blown this long before." "1t'il never stop, Joel." Joel's kind, blunt face looked worried. "We've got a good start here, Mannie. You like it here when the wind doesn't blow. Maybe running -away isn't the solution. Maybe any other kind of life would have drawbacks too, Mannie. Seems like we might find a better way." "You can't stop the wind, Joel." When Joel had gone, Mannie washed the dishes, the pain above her eye becoming each moment more unbearable. She reached for an aspirin, thinking of Joel, and stopped. It did no good to say the wind wouldn't blow tomorrow. there'd be the next year and the next. Joel could sell the ranch and get work in a factory. She could see him in 15 years, his shoulders stooped, his hair thinner and the swing gone from his walk, Joel wouldn't blame her, but he wouldn't be happy. Joel would never be happy anywhere away from the prairie. That was what made it so hard, so impossible for her. She looked out and nowhere was there anything but sameness, no- where except that old bluff, border- ing Dead Man's canyon, a deep cleft sheltering a slough. Roanie was surprised at being saddled so early in the day. He jumped as spurs dug into hint and he swung around and headed into the wind, When Massie came to the bluff she reined in Roanic and sat looking down into the canyon. It was narrow, steep with few foot- holds. She slid down from Roanic and looked down to where a thin sliver plain, two -handled siver cult and cover, made in London in 1720 by Paul Lamcric; four silver salvers, made in 1734 by Paul Lamcric; two single silver candlesticks ; four silver candlesticks and three silver candelabra, reproductions of Paul Lamcric; 24 silver -gilt dinner plates; n case of table silver. of light, hater, was barely visible — it was quiet down there — the wind could never reach you. She began to climb clown, her feet slipping on the shale and stone. She rolled down the last 20 feet ignominiously. She lay quiet on a tiny beach, re- lief seeping through her, The sun was warm and she relaxed and slept, like a limp rag on the sant. When she woke clean -eyed clear- headed, the sun was slanting against the wall. It was time to get back. She could stand anything. She glanced upwards and caught her breath. Nowhere was there a single foothold, She proceeded cautiously, exam- ining the walls, coating at last to a shelving cave. Above the entrance was printed in rough letters; Wind - haven. Wind/wren. Someone had been here before her. Someone had route here to escape from the wind, iust as she had come. She advanced farther into the cave and her foot struck a light object — a comb that some woman might have worn, If a woman had conte here years ago, she must have had some way of getting back. Matilde hunted furiously. It was simple when she found it. A rough hair rope, hidden by the side of the boulder, exactly the saute color as rock and shale. She seized it eagerly and began to climb, She reached the rope's end and found it anchored securely by a huge rock, invisible to those above. She pulled herself over the riot of the canyon. She heard a nicker farther along and rounded a carve to find Roanic grazing. She rode hint with the wind be- hind Iter --hut it was no longer a fearsome thing, something from which there was no escape but in flight, \\'indhat•en—she hail only to climb down the canyon to sleep securely on the small dry beach. Why they could spend whole days there, she and Joel. Dampened salt can be restored by the addition of a little corn. starch.

From farm and forest, village and city, the citizens of a great and free country scan the new horizon with courage and optimism.

Barham Zincke, one of the "chaplains in ordinary" to Queen Victoria. Ile published a phamphi let in which he gave his views of what the world would be like a century from then — that is to say, in 198:1. By that time, according to his calculations, there will be a thousand Millions of English-speak- ing people in the world — 800 Mil- lion in the United States, 64 mil- lion in Canada, 48 trillion in Aus- tralia,. 16 million in South Africa and 70 million in the United Kingdom. Among these thousand million, he thought, there will be no savag- es, no serfs, no slaves and very few drones or Sybarites. All will be able to read and write and in- clined to turn such knowledge to good account. Thcy will all occupy their own land and manage their own political affairs. They will have a high standard of morality and have women occupying a far higher position than they did at the 1010' he wrote. Competition be - ween nations will be intellectual, not Military' .\ 'most 05 years have passed since he made these prophecies; and if the shade of the Rev, Mr, Zin- eke is hovering around, we would say that — with a Mere 35 years or so to go --- time is rapidly running out I n 11(1111. Still, we have prophets of our o\1'1., these day., whose ',halting averages" aren't much better.

The popular impression is that wood rot is confined solely to high humidity southern countries, but a survey has shown it is equally destructive in the Dominion and per capita loss to Canadians is as much as anywhere in the world. I'he fungi which cause wood rot and mildew are invisible organisms carried in the atmosphere ill great numbers.
