I have no money for Missions. It keeps" me busy making ands meet as it is," How much better it would "Oh yes," he replied "the odd one MIL I would not want the young fellows to know that or to see me" We cannot judge one another, for. there isno one of us who at times is not a disgrace to the Lord, whom we profess to serve. Every day we crucify Christ afresh. - We are no better than those who nailed Him to the cross and who cried "Crucify Him." Oh, that we would only realize the 'great joy ;of the Christian life and with the help of God, live it! of We have spoken .;of giving•'oursel- ves for mission work and 'return - have been for the world 9f we had ing to God at least part of the money He collected the money which later we lea has loaned us, but there is at had to find and had sent it to Chris- least one other way we can help the tianixe the people who have been the Mission work of the Lord, and in this means of bringing such terrible chaos to ,the world, If people would only realize that what money we have be longs to the Lord and that it is only a Ioan to us, how much more readily' we would give to His •eause. In Isis last message to His discipe les Christ said "Go ye tl}ere'fore, and teach all nations, baptising them • in the name of the Father, and of he Son; and of the Hely Ghost, teaching them to observe all 'things whatso- ever I have commanded you." That was the commission to those whom Sheds not its glorious ray, He had taught. He does say and, lo, Let there be light. I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Then too He does Spirit of truth and love, not say "if you have tine", "if you Life giving, holy Dove, Speed. forth Thy flight; Move o'er the water face, Bearing the lamp of grace, And in earth's darkest place Let there be light" praetieally every one can aid, that is by prayer. What a wonderful oppor- tunity we have in prayer! Oft times at night when sleep has forsaken us we can close -our eyes and can Barry every Mission field in the world to Him, who knows the difficulties, and trials -of each one of them. Just how are we going to help? "Thou whose almightyy word Chaos and darkness heard And took their flight, Hear. us, we humbly pray, And, where the gospel day have money", "if you find' it con venient" He simply says for them to "gloj'. We will much more readily. obey an earthly master than we will our Lord and Saviour. How much joy' we would receive ;from giving to the Lord's cause if we would only give it happily realizing that it is ot ours and that we .must some day give an account of our expenditure of annoy which was not a gift, but a loan. It may be God has called us unto His Mission service. It is not easy now for any denomination to send ,i Missionaries to foreign countries, but our young people are training to be ready to go when the time is op -. j portune. If you feel He has called !you then it is your business to pre- Ipare yourself to answer that call. 'Just be sure that you are called and the Lord will help you in all the - diffiedlt times which may be ahead of yon, for the life' of a missionary is not easy.

And now that the season's crop of puppies, kittens, and other young „animals—and fowl --has' ar- -rived, it won't -be long before you •start shooting there—with a camera, of course. And, as pets are part ot. our home Iiie, pictures .of them are Interesting to those in the Service. Here's whatI suggest, First, work alone .with the animal; or,; if not. alone, with just one assistant at the most. When. you attempt picture making' with too many people around it may prove -distracting to your subiect. 4 Next, you'll soon learn that it will Make things easier for you, if yeti place the animal in shell a position that he can't prove about too much. • For_instance, it puppies and kittens are placed.: on top of, a box or stool Which is high' enough to make -reluctant to jump down, you'll lime ph your pets at' heir own eye -level. Ws not so hard to catch them in a cute or interesting pose.' Point three, in the technique of animal photography, Is to do your picture making at the•subjett's eye- level—as in our illustration. Anhnal§ viewed from above, even from your own eye -level;• do not, often make pleasing pictures. Usually they ap- pear too foreshortened. They nor- mally look much more natul'al, when photographed from. a ,relatively low point of view. Fourth, keep your backgrounds simple. Outdoors there's no better backdrop than the sky. Use it often. Finally, I'd suggest that you use a fairly high' shutter speed --7/100• second or higher is advisable --to ' stop any unexpected movement on the part .of your subieet.

The or- der provides that the maximum cinnamon, 1. tbsp. allspice, 1 tsp. grated nutmeg, 1 pint vinegar, , Peel the tomatoes and onions. Gut tomatoes in small pieces and chop the onions and peppers fine. Add the remaining ingredients, heat grad- ually to boiling point and cook slovr- ly two and one-half to three hours; stir frepuently. If the vinegar is strong dilute it with water: DILL PICKLES Select cucumbers of "dill" size. Wipe and arrange in jars with lay- ers of dill and mixed spices in the bottom, centre and top of the jar. Cover with hot brine made of IA cup salt to 7 cups boiling water. Seal and let Stand two months before using. PICKLED ONION 1 qt. small pickling onions, 1 qt. white wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons pepper corns, 1 teaspoon salt. Bring .vinegar and seasonings to boiling point and remove scum. Peel the onions, put into the boiling liquid and simmer about three m1ni- ten or until the onions are transpar- ent. Pour into sterilized jars and seal g TAKE A TIP 1. Too mueh salt or sugar or too strong vinegar may make pickles shrivelled and tough. 2.' A brine too weak will tend to soften pickles. The recommended solution. to crisp members is one pound of salt to five quarts of water. 3, Keep pickled cucumbers green, put a thick layer of fresh green grape or cherry leaves 'between lay- ers of cucumbers and - on top of them before pouring on the ,brine.

Montreal, The order permits the dealer to add to his maximum selling price any, brokerage charges incurred by Slim, but not in excess of the broker- age rate fixed from time to time by the Canadian Wheat Board and in any event not in excess of one cent per bushel. Every dealer must report each week to the Toronto office of the Canadian Wheat Board all purchas- es made by hits of Canada Eastern Winter Wheat from -primary pro- ducers. The dealer's first report re - poet must show his purchase for the month of July, 1944, and must be made in the forty required by the Wheat Board. Soft Drinks The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has announced an amendment to the soft drink order which has been in effect since August of 1943. Authorization for price adjustments in the sale of soft drinks in ,public eating , places must W given by -the Administrator of Services. Where, however, approval, for price adjust- ments have been given prior to July 31, 1944, -by the Administrator of Cocoa, Confeetionery and Allied Pro- ducts, it is not now necessary to ob- tain further permission from the new administrator. The price adjustment order stipu- lates that adjustments can not be made without authorization, It pro- vides that where a proprietor sold bottled drinks during the basic period at more than six cents per bottle he may increase his price by the full amount of the additional excise tax, provided the increased price does not exceed 12 cents. Por fountain drinks the regulations provide a maximum price of six cents per glass of five to eight fluid ounces and ele- ven cents for an, eight to twelve ounce glass. But where the basic period price was at this level or higher, the seller may add one cent to these maximum prices. V Canada's Meat Supply The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has announced that meat rationing will not likely be resumed in Canada during the remainder of the calendar year. Most of the eon- ditions that brought about the sus- pension of meat rationing on March 1 still exist. K. W. Taylor, Pood Ad-' ininistrator, pointed out, however, that there would be no difficulty in bringing meat rationing into effect again on short notice. "Thera will be meat coupons in the next issue of ration -book, even though we hope we will not have to tine them," Mr. Taylor said, Within the Iast few months Can- ada has more than filled all her ex- port requirements .and at present there is no evidence, even in large urban and industrial areas, of any meat shortage. Mr. Taylor pointed out that if all this can be done with- out the rationing of meat, there is clearly ria justification for r'e-impos- ing the burdens and expense of the use of meat coupons. The increase in the meat produc- tion since the ' outbreak . of the war has been an important part of 'Can- ada's war effort. The average total meat exports in the three ' Pre-war years amounted to about 200,000,000 pounds a year: The exports to the Urnted Kingdom in 1941 were 460,- 000,000 •pounds,,, in 1942, 530,000,000 pounds and in 1943, 586,000,000 poniiicls. If the present trends of live- stock marketings continue Canada will supply for export to the United Kingdom about 60 %n more meat than in 1943 and nearly double the mini- mum reghirement which' the United Kingdom is looking for Canada to supply.•, eJO Se' Toro of both bottles and cartons, .. it's downright wasteful to leave a lot of them at your summer cottage, when they might otherwise be put to good use all winter long.
