ORD PAGE THRE4 MIDDLE AGES By "PEG" nommemming We have now come in our series of talks on life to the years of Middle Age. In speaking of this the refer- ence is to those who have reached between fifty and sixty-five or there abouts. Those who have attained that age feel that they have left perhaps the better part of their lives behind them, hut should we harbor that thought? In those days we enjoy looking back . and recalling amusing instances of the past 'and perhaps more than ever we look into the future with a sence of dread. It is the age when serious illness attacks us more than than at any other period of our lives and we keep wondering if what we have saved will carry us through to the end of our days. We forget that our Saviour has promised to be with us not only in our youth but He says "Lo, I am with you always," Is that not sufficient for us? A splendid motto for every day of our life is"If you trust you do not worry and if you worry you do not trust." We have been told "to grow old gracefully. Many are growing old awkwardly." There ate many lessons which we may learn and put into practise at this period of our lives. If we have lost our interest in child- ren, or the youth of our district we will feel it very much. It is true the ideas of young people are different from ours, but older people must keep in touch with them. In speaking of the University Examinations a friend said recently that the graduates of ten years ago could not pass the tests Of to -day. Would we be satisfied if there was' not a decided progress made along this line. There is noth- ing finer than to have young people as friends when we reach the middle age. All our lives we should encour- age this contact with those who are younger. Because we do not see eye to eye with them in all their doings is no reason why we should not en- courage their friendship all along the way. If we pray over the question God will guide us in what to say to them. They will many times go to an outsider for advice rather than to their own parents (this should not be the case but it at times is.) We should under every circumstance give them to understand that their confidence will be respected and we should never break that rule without the permission of the one who has come to us for advice, If we have followedthis out in our earlier days we will have plenty of young friends to take the place of those, who as years go by will leave us for the next world. This also is the age when the fam- ily has as a rule married and gone to homes of their own and the days are at times lonely.' As we have more leisure to think of ourselves we are apt to want to talk to others about our ills, and our trouble. Does it ever occur to us that our friends have perhaps more to combat than we have? There are of course, very fast friends with whom we are anxious to exchange confidences. Keeping our troubles to ourselves requires at times a great deal of self will. Dr. Thomas Arnold as we know was for many years the Headmaster . of that great Rugby boys, school. Dr. Arnold had a sister who for some twenty years was an invalid. Her condition was such that she could not in any way change her position yet through it all she suffered patiently. Early in her illness she made a re- solution that she would not talk about herself and she kept to that. Dr. Arnold expressed the wish that God would grant that he might come but within one hundred degrees of her place in glory. Because we have reached the age of middle life is no reason why we should cease to be interested in church activities, city, town or village affairs. We have had experience and are now in a better position to ad- vise others. As we said before, this is the age when we love to sit and recall the days when we were children. Some. times we will see in the paper where someone whom we knew had passed on the Glory Land; perhaps they have married or remarried; in some instances serious illness has overtaken them or someone in their family; or it may be a military or academic honor has been bestowed on them. There are many things which can happen to those who were our child- s hood playmates and often we delve t into our memory storehouse and re- call instances of the past. If we are not making new friends the time will soon come when we will be pretty much left alone. At this period of our life we en- counter fears, fears, but the majority of them are without foundation. A noted American preacher was,travelling when at a certain station an elderly man and his granddaughter boarded the train. The man .began telling his companion of how he had found his wife and had been married in that district. It was in the winter and they had to drive quite a distance to their home. His bride knew they had to cross a certain river but was not just sure where it was. On two occasions she said: "Fred, I wish we were over the river." He assured her that everything would be alright as it was solidly frozen over. They went over a hill and down into a valley and began the ascent of • an- other road. Once again his wife cried out: "Oh, Fred, I wish we were over the river." ,She was very much sur- prised when he said: "Have no more fear we are safely over the river.' She had had no knowledge of w'he they passed .over the dreaded place So in many instances our fears ar groundless. Then there is something else whic we should never lose a grip of—kee up with the outside world. Be subscriber for the local newspaper Know what is going on in your own district. If it is possible acquaint yourself with what is happening in the world beyond your community. This can be done by city papers or by radio. Our brain cells will deteriorate if we do not use them. If you should be asked to prepare a topic for a meeting or convention do it willingly 1 d a e d store our minds with the Word e God. Even when we have passe the halfway mark we do not need t0 give up our education. It is indee a great delight to see how the me and women who have returned t civilian life from the forces hay availed themselves of the opportunit to enlarge on their education. As we come to middle life we ar nclined to feel that we are growinP, old and that we are not able to carr on as we did in former years. It i within our own power to keep our elves young. If we allow ourselves o drift into old age, it will not take us' long to do so. This condition a often attributed to sickness, but even under those circumstances we have all seen people who have risen above a handicap and have made a very prominent place for themselves in the world. Noted among these is the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He allowed no infirmity to keep him down. Would that we could all have the grace to grow old under difficulty and yet remain youthful! Then last but really the most im- portant step in this age is to keep God the centre of our lives. If we have not accepted Him as our per- sonal Saviour then let us at once realize the great mistake we have made, really the most tremendous calamity of our lives, and ask Him to take us into His keeping, If we have not got a copy of His word as our constant companion let us procure one and after asking God to reveal the meaning of His message to us read carefully and prayerfully the story of His life as found in the four gospel's. We will there see how He gave His life for us in order that we might spend Eternity with Him We can do all these things if we just ask Jesus Christ to be our Guide. As we reach this age, those, who have tried to follow the Saviour of the world closely, feel that without Him life would not be worth living. In all the trials, sorrows, joys and disappointments of life He has stood by us. Althought we have in count- less instances failed Him yet He has stood by ready to 'forgive and forget all our acts of ingratitude. No one else would have done so, and to the end of time we will find Him the same loving Heavenly Father. Will we not accept Him as our own today "My Beloved is mine, and I am His."—Song of Solomon 2:16. Lord, for the future, though unknown I cannot be afraid. For Thou hast promised all Thine Own, Thine all sufficient aid. I cannot always see my way, But Thou art ever near, Thy promise comes to me each day My unknown path to cheer; And as I place my hand in Thine, I hear Thee whisper, "Thou ar Mine." n e h n a • for as we read and study we wil find it a great benefit to ourselves We should never give up this form of work. At this age we will fin memorizing much harder than in ou young years but if we can just man age one verse from the Bible in day keep at it. It is unfortunat that when we are young we do no take the advice of our elders an d n 0 e 1' c y s Was YOUR long distance call delayed? MOST Long Distance calls go through all right. But from time to time there is a delay. That is because there are so many; more telephones now and so many more people are using Long Distance. We're hard at work add- ing new switchboards and lines and training many more operators to get Long Distance service back to pre-war speeds and even faster. WHEN YOU PLACE a Long Distance Coll...

He was one of the early pioneer settlers of the district, Miss Holmes lived in Clinton from her early teens and attended Public School and the C.C.I, where she re- ceived her third class certificate as a teacher. Her first school was in the village of Blyth which she gave up after a couple of years to teach in the Clinton Model School. After this she took her first `class certificate at the C.C.I. Miss Holmes taught in several towns in Ontario, Port Dover, New- market and Warsaw, ete. In the spring of 1903 she went out to her sister, Mrs. John Barrie Flem- ing of Neepawa. After teaching in Manitoba a couple of years she went further west where she and her sis- ter, Henrietta, afterwards Mrs. Albert Wills of Swalwell, Alberta, taught school in the N.W.T. .before the Province of Alberta was surveyed as a Province of the Dominion. Here she endured many hardships. Around 1912 Miss Holmes accepted a position on the staff of the largest public school in Medicine Hat, where she taught most of the time until she retired from teaching. She taught in all, 98 years. While in Medicine Hat, Miss Holmes was a member of the Wom en's Library Club, and also the Can- adian Club as well as the societies connected with the church. Outside of school her every effort was given' to the Church and S.S., to the W.A., the J.W.A., etc. After the Women's Auxiliary was started at St. Paul's Church, Clinton, she was one of the earliest to canvas for members.
