In any case, let those shut-in friends know they are not forgotten, even if they do have to watch life from a hospital cot or a wheelchair.

CORNER STONES Rev, George A. Milne, M.A. Personal Principles. —(2) That early frugal life, the fruits of which are being enjoyed by no small number of people to -day, was actually an expensive life in the sense that so many of the comforts of life were sacrificed in the inter- ests of incessant toil. It was a costly life in the sense that only the bare necessities of life could be afforded. Still it was rife o:f honesty and simple content and sturdy victory. It had no equal as a breeding ground for sound personal principles. In that simple life as iived by our for- bears there were far fewer of these immoralities which create discon- tentment among the families 01 their descendents. At the present time there is a definite need for the re-esbablishlment of that, 'rigorous self-discipline as practiced by our forbears. It would be folly to urge.
