SNOW
By "PEG"
There are students attending our
universities from the tropical eount-
ries who have never seen snow, Their,
idea of this beautiful mantle of the
earth' is somewhat varied. Some think
it falls in thinsheets . and, others
that it descends in round balls, but
we. Who have had ;the, privilege of,
living in the country know that it is
made up of single flakes; One tan
hardly believe that, when we think of
the amount of snow 'which will fall
during one night.. A. year ago last
December 12, many of our cities were
almost isolated by snow which ,fell
to a depth of 24 inches, and yet that
amount was made up of . single snow
flakes. It would be composed of mil-
lions upon millions of little particles,
no two of which were -the same shape
or size,
Doubtless we have all tried the
experiment of taking a piece of black
cloth and placing it where the snow
flakes could .fall on it. Then with a
magnifying glass we have examined
the individual pieces. The finest piece
of lace made by experts could not
begin to compare with the grandeur
of God's handiwork in this. Of all
the myriads which fall, no two flakes Snow, flake by flake, is gentle, but
are alike yet it takes each one of it can be very destructive indeed,

If we are true followers of Christ
we will find much more pleasure in
attending God's house. on Sunday
than we would have in spending the
day breaking God's laws.
"God writes everywhere and on
everything," it matters not whether
it is summer or winter.
When snow begins to fall we think
how beautiful it is, but when it 'con-
tinues to fall we realize how much
damage it may do.
Many plans have had to be changed
on account of . highways and side -
roads being blocked. In days 'of yore,
or probably we' might say nights in
past years sleighing parties were very
much enjoyed and many times the
whole sleigh load has been upsetinto
the snow. Such jolly times as those
were! After the ride the party went
to someone's home and much fun and
pleasure was enjoyed. It may be

What a wonderful lesson we learn
from that! Even in the worst storms
of .life if we trust our great Leader
He will bring us safely through to
our eternal life.
That noted preacher, Rev. C. H.
Spurgeon, in telling of his conversion
attributed it to a snow storm.' On
Sunday morning, January 6, 1850, he
started out to a place, of worship..
Owing to the storm he could go no
further and finally went in to a little
primative Methodist, Church. Here
through the instrumentality of a poor
workman, but a man rich in the know-
Iedge of Jesus Christ, Charles Spur-
geon was brought to and accepted
his Saviour. There are many beauti-
ful Christian characters today who
have been brought to Chrst through
what appeared to them insurmount-
able difficulties. There are also those,
who have no recollection of the time,
when through .the instrumentality of
loving, God-fearing parents; they
have not loved the Saviour as their
Lord• and Heavenly Father. A min-

speak as we have found these things
in our own individual lives. It is
indeed a great pleasure and privilegb
to have had our Guide and Comforter'
with us during the trials which we
haveencounteredin this world and
to know that wizen our call to go
higher comes that we will have the
same Guide to go with us..
We know that snow is a necessity
for the fields and that it is a great
protection for vegetation during the
winter. This is due to the prevention
of the conduction of heat through the
snow due to the large amount of air
in the crystals. Thus the temperature
of the soil remains the same although
the temperature of the air may rise
and fall.
Let us look into the backyard at
our gardens. Under the snow of
winter everything seems dead. There
are no flowers living, no vegetation

think. God is never inactive.
The snow comes to us pure and
unsullied but the flakes are not long
on theround before they, begin to
show that they are milting with the:
world. So it is with us. Jesus •Christ
gives to us-• a future as white at the;
unsullied snow and it is of our own
choosing as to whether we keep •it
clean or not. There is just one way
in which we can keep, it clean. That
is by prayer that God will keep us
from temptation and ,sin. He will do
it if we just trust Min and have
faith that He will do it. "Purge me
with hymn, and 1 shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter then
snow." Psalm 51:7.
Galatians 4:22, tells us "But the
seripture hath concluded all under
sin, chat the promise by .faith of
Jesus Christ might be given to them
that believe. Are we included among
those who believe? If not then our
prospect of spending' Eternity with
Him . is worth nothing.
In spite of the fact that nd two
snow flakes are alike yet they work
together so we can only .have happi-
ness ,as we co-operate with one an-
other and with God.
In the spring the snow melts and
is no more but it has left good be-
hind it by' nourishing the ; ground.

Of contemporary classical design,
the new 'Bank of Montreal building,

sketch of tate elevation, will dominate
one of Toronto's busiest street inter-
sections. On.the north-west corner of

The bank's main Toronto office and
the assistant general manager's de-

height of 224 feet, the other twelve
floors are to be occupied by a variety
of commercial and financial tenants.
