Heaven or Hell --Which?

There are comparatively few peo-

Heaven, but many, even good living
people, are prone -to believe there is
a hell.
It is, has been and in all probab-
ility always will be a much dis-
cussed question.
When we try to think what Hea-
ven will be like, all we can imagine
is that it is a place of wondrous
beauty, in which happiness continual-
ly .abounds, where he will meet our
loved ones who have gone before and
where Christ Himself will reign
eternally.

PICTURES CAN TELL STORIES

.MI..Y•1
Pictures like
this one tell a real story. Always try to get human interest
appeal In your snapshots.
T17 other evening I called on a
•1^ friend of mine who is a reader of
this column. I hadn't been Were
long before he started showing me
his snapshot album, Ile has been
taking pictures for about a year and
has quite a few prints. After 1oo1L-
ing through a few pages I finally
got up, enough courage "to offer a
little criticism.
As far as exposure and composi-
tion were concerned his, snapshots
were quite good, but •otherwise very
uninteresting. They were just pie
tures with 110. character, nohuman
interest touch. Just pictures.
1'11 wager hero are many just like
Jack, For that reason I am going
to talk about story -telling pictures.
From the time of our childhood
we- hear stories—and lute them,
Before we were able to toddle we
were hearing about "This little pig.
went to market" while mother gently
pulled each toe as a method of illus-
trating her story. All' through our
lives we retain our interest in story
illustrations. It is this appeal that
takes us to the movies and causes us
to look through the pages of daily
newspapers and magazines for pie -
tures .that tell stories of human'
activities. '
When it comes to taking snap-
shots, however, so many seem to
forget about story -telling pictures.
They pick up their cameras and just
shoot. There is a better way to take
pictures. ,
If you, want some good laughs:
look over some of the old •pictures
you have taken. Unless you are an
exception, and I hope you are, you
will, probably find a picture of Aunt
Minnie standing as straight as an
arrow, backed up against a tree ap-
parently waiting for the fatal mo-
ment. If Aunt Minnie can't do any-
thing else the chances are she can
'darn a sock, so have her doing that
while you snap the shutter. There
you have a story-teiliug picture well
seasoned with that liunian interest
touch that should be in every pic-
ture you make.
I hone every one of you will try
to take more human interest pic
tures, for you will get much mere
enjoyment out of them. And it is
the story -tolling type,of picture that.
those in the Service enjoy receiving
from home. John van Guilder
