ways extend a hearty welcome and
give an appetizing dinner and if one
.goes once she wants to go again.
.Perhaps because it comes so soon
after Christmas it always seems like
a happy family reunion, Freuds meet
who have known each other through
the missionary work extending over
many years. Newcomers are made
to feel they too have- a .place and
soon feel at home in the family.
The meeting on Tuesday, January
14th, was quite in keeping with its
many happy previous ones. Follow
ing the singing of Psalm 19, the
Scripture lesson by Mrs. Dugan, of
Clinton, and prayer by Mrs. Albert
Taylor, of Goderich, Mrs. Lane, of
Goderich, president, in her "well
chosen remarks, stressed the need of
an expression of gratitude tor the
members’ part in the extension of
the Kindgom of -God. She said,
“Youth faces a new world, bring the'
young boys into mission work and
■educate them in the work of spread
ing the gospel. Jesus spoke to the
individual.” She told the story of a
little child whose father was trying
to read and hoping for a little peace
gave the child a map of the world
to put together, The father was sur
prised at the rapidity of the child in
piecing the map. “How did you do
it so quickly ” he asked. “Oh! there
was a man on the back, when I got
him I got the world.”
Mrs. (Lane gave three motives for
the year: First, increase your under
standing; second, make- use of the
power of prayer; third, give means
as God has prospered you. Rich fel
lowship with Jesus Christ should be
our objective so that our work may
profit.
Interesting reports were read by
the various secretaries showing bet
ter work in all departments. The
Supply* Secretary, Miss McDonald,'
Goderich, brought a very clear con
ception of missionary work in North
ern Ontario and Northern Alberta,
when she read two intimate letters,
one from Mrs. Bruce D. Marwick, of
Cochrane, and one from Dr. Mar
garet (Stang Savage, of Dixonville.
Our daily work seems very meagre
niter learning the multiplicity of the
daily accomplishments of these cap-
an’e women.
The treasurer, Mrs, T. Swan Smith
Seaforth, reported Huron had raised
$3,474.49—$274.49 over the alloca
tion-—the surplus being due partly
to the Clinton W. M,. S. by the late
Miss O’Neil, of Clinton.
Mrs. Dunlop, of Goderich, gave a
concise hut comprehensive summary
of the year’s successful work, closing
her remarks by saying, “Without
Him nothing can be done; with Him
all things are possible.”
Mrs. Lawson, of Auburn, read the
report of the Nominating Committee
and Mrs. J. C. Greig, of Seaforth, in
stalled the following officers for

Appreciation of the work of the

Arnold was a member of the Pres-
byterial in the early life of the For

An observer has drawn attention to the falling off in the vol

to say that whatever virtue there may be in canned food that he

TWO STERN LESSONS
Punctuality is the thief of time. Herbert Hoover,
evening, when speaking over a nation-wide radio hook
stepped his time and was cut off after he had thrown into confus
ion the arrangements of millions of people. Next morning he
promptly and fully apologized for his bad manners and his bad
business practice. What he cannot do is to remove from the minds
of the people of the United States that he has not himself nor his
affairs under control. His -blunder may cost him the presidency
of the United -States.. .‘The shrewd Yankee, believes that a stra A’
shows the way a river flows. A man who cannot regulate the
length of his speaking is not likely to be able to regulate anything
else.
The other lesson is from Great Britain. Mr. (Stanley Baldwin
was obliged to own that he had needlessly blundered in regard to
his government’s action in the Italo-Ethlopian peace negotiations.
His effort to explain how the blunder was committed only got him
into deeper and hotter‘water. Just -one blunder of this sort was
sufficient to have the work of a life time viewed with suspicion and
all that lie may attempt in the future regarded with distrust. As
long as his .name is mentioned in history, his muddling on the oc
casion referred to will be mentioned against him. Josh Billings said
long ago, “A broken reputation may sometimes be mended, but
the' eyes of the world always will be on the place where, the crack
was.” A wiser thing he said, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap.” .That law i,s as stern as justice and as certain
as death. . Things arq as they- are. -

MARRIED SlXjTY YEARS
Mr. and Mrs. James Coughtrey,
London, recently celebrated the
sixtieth anniversary of their wedding
They were married in Parkhill in
1885. There are fur sons living.
For the past several weeks there
has -been nothing but dull, grey,
drab days with but a single day of
sunshine. Since January made its
advent the weather has been alter
nating between thaws, fogs, snow
falls and storms which obscure the
sun. There is a tradition in Cana
da whether* the faith has been justi
fied by experience or not, that good
crops always follow winters in which
there has been a plentitude of snow.
No doubt the most endurable clim
ate is one that .has its high lights
and shadows: ‘’All sunshine” say the
Arab “makes Sahara.”

One ’Canadian University student
in every 12 or 13 goes to college-
on a matriculation scholarship, ac
cording to figures compiled by the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
If that average is maintained at
the University of Western Ontario,
approximately 80 of the 1,000 on
the- campus started their college car
eer on scholarships,
The average value of the matric
ulation awards is about $200,. which
represents less than the equivalent
of two years’ tuition fees.
More than half of the scholarships
and almost three-quarters of their
value are for graduates of high
schools in the Province of Ontario.
'Considered from the viewpoint of
the high school student, however,
the ratio of scholarships is much
smaller. There are about 50,-000
matriculation graduates each year,
and the 500 awards distributed
among them equal one to each 100.
In view of that an appeal has
been made to the “numerous muni
cipalities, institutions and individ
uals of Western Ontario interested
in the healthy and adequate intellec
tual development of the- ablest
young people to found scholarships.

RUDYARD IOPLING

and Anyone
Rudyard- Kipling has passed on. There is no occasion fo'r sor-
sow that the hard woidkiing man of three score and ten years has
gone to- his .reward but the profoundest reason for gratitude that
this worthy interpreter of British life and British aims was given
to the world and allowed totarry in it -so long. He entertained the
race with his catchy poetry and his well told stories. But he did
far more. With unusual power and skill he reminded the world
of, the fundamental qualities without which there is no lasting
achievement or pleasure without sting. He was the poet of imper
ialism--but he was far more. He was the poet who reminded the
commonwealth he served that the Dread Eternal is the God of all
nations and that only the nations that remember Him and kept His
law had in them the elements of permanency. Now that he has gone
where “the Master of all good workmen shall set us to work anew”
it is for every Britisher to give to his task the industry, the- moral
earnestness and the loftiness of aim that characterized this singer
■who tqught the world the way to imperialism without jingoism, and
to achievement w'thout grossness.
We venture to say that Kipling will, be longest remembered by
his poem, “Recessional”, a poem in which he rightly interpreted the
deeper feeling' of the Empire on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s
Diamond Jubilee.
God of our fathers, known -of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart. ’
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we- forget!
’Far-called, our navies melt away;
■On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our promp of yesterday
Is one with Ninevali and- Tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we> forget!
If, drunk with sight -of power, wo loose
Wild tongues that have not Theo in awe
Buch boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser -breeds without the law—
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding, calls not Thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word

“Anyone” Calls
To points where the Day “Anyone” rate is 50 cents or less, the
discounts for Night calls are reduced or discontinued. That is,
some of the present 25- and 30-ceiit Night rates are increased by
5 or 10 cents. These discount inducements to call while the tide
