B a p +>,
There is not one of us who would
like to - be told that we were not
willing to help, of in other words,
that we were xi hinderer. Yet the
majority. of us must cenfess that we
do little to help, others along' the
hardy rough way of life.
We can take an illustration which
is very, common in homes today. We
see a bowl, in it are a lot' of little
stones, in water. Among these some
weeks ago three or Tour palter white
nareissum bulbs had been planted. We
watched their growth with a great
deal of interest, They grew to the
same height, but just one in the
centre bloomed. The others, although.
not blooming, formed a very pretty
background for the one which did.
The 'same might be said of the ever-
greens which stood among the beauti-
ful foliage• of the autumn bushes.
Just how does that work into our
subject?'
In every walk of life . there are
those who are leaders and: those who
are followers or helpers. Many of
'us will never reach the stage where
we are leaders, but we can all be
helpers.
The noted leaders of today can
look back to their home life. It may
be the mother or father never made
a speech in their lives but the pray-
ers wtach they have offered to God
on :behalf of their children have been
.Answered and what they, could not do
is being done by their sons and daugh-
ters. These children grown to man-
hood and womanhood look back with
pleasure to their early training, and
are thankful that they were born
into homes where God was honored.
John G. Paton, one of the world's
greatest missionaries,, tells of the
time in- their home when a white
handkerchief was to be seen on the
floor just outside his father's door.
That signified that his father was
engaged in prayer with his Heavenly
Father and was not to be disturbed.
The father was a leader, but in a
quiet way, end his son, the mission-
ary, was a guide who was the means
of leading many to Christ.
If we are able to, we attend church
on Sunday and if God has given us
thestrength t re
ngth sand the opportunity to
go to His Home we should be asham-
ed not to be present. To be quite
honest with ourselves we listen to the
sermon, the choir and the soloists
and we conte away and very often
criticize. Have we any idea what it
means to have to prepare a sermon
to be delivered Sunday after Sun-
day? Even if 'a minister has been
trained for that work, it is not
easy to stand up and deliver a mes-
sage to what is very often a critical
congregation. If a minister has pray-
ed over his sermon and if he is
:preaching Salvation through the
blood of Christ' we can certainly be
a great help if we listen attentively
andask God to give to us the message
which He wishes us to receive from
the preached word. If we do not
just agree with the way the message
is delivered or the manner in which
the anthems or solos are sung, let us
just ponder to ourselves whether we
could do any better if we were in
the place of the minister, the choir
members, or the soloist. years ago AA book was published,
We cannot all sing like those who "Hubert Lee, or how a child may
are leading, but we can at least help do good." If it could be purchased
with the congregational singing. Ti, now it would bo a splendid story for
may be we are not in tune but we children of today. It told of a little
can tell forth His praises in our own lad who wanted to work for hie
way. Even if the one sitting next Master. He sought out the aged and
to us thinks we are off tune, God the sick. and tried in some way to
will understand our heart, bring an added ray of sunshine into
There are two fine organizations
in' our country—the Girl Guides and
the Boy Scouts. Part of their duty
each' day is to help others. How
many days go by arid we do ,nothing
to make life easier for sointe one else.
Eaeh day we can renew our pledge,
to put God first, others second • and
ourselves last aiid to make an earn-
est effort to be of some assistance
to those who. may need our ,help.
Attimes, what we strive to do is not
agreeable to ourselves, but the more
we try to give others first place the.
nearer we will be drawn to our Lord
Jesus Christ who spent His entire
life' in doing for others.
There are times' when we have
nothing to give but a word of e0
couragenient, but if that is given. Ib
the name of the Master it may mean
the turning point in someone else's
life. Some of our greatest people are
very, very humble.. A splendid ex-
ample of this was found in General
Crerav, the Commander of the Can-
adianArany overseas, who has re-
ceetly toured our Dominion. Where -
ever he went he was gladly welcomed
not only by civilians but by the' men
and women who so gladly served
under him in Europe. All men could
not be General ,Crerar, but those who
followed his commands did so in such
a way that great glory was bestowed
upon the Canadian Army.
At the present thee thousands of
men are on• strike in the automobile
industry. Let us hope by the time
this comes into print that it will be
settled. In that work there are those
who put the finishing touches on the
cars before they are shipped out.
They are doing a big job. All men
cannot do that work, but they can
make bolts and other accessories
uvhich are most important' to the saf-
ety of cars. Without good 'workman-
ship many bad accidents might hap-
pen. They are doing their work just
as faithfully as those who are as-
sembling the cars.
We cannot all go to the foreign or
home fields as missionaries but we
can help in a monetary way, no
matter how small our gift may be.
Furthermore and above all we can
pray for those who have the privilege
or who are able to go. What prayer
means only those who are nn the
mission fickle can understand. We
cannot all be a stately tree of the
forest, but we can be a fruit -bearing
shrub,
We at times think we cannot do
anything to 'help. These two instances
will show that we can if we try and
are willing to be led. A. maid who
felt she had little to give to others
used to take the obituary column of
the daily paper and each night she
prayed that God would comfort those
who were bereaved. An aged woman
who was not, able to attend 'church
or the missionary .societies took a
list of missionaries and prayed for
them by name. We can at least do
that and there are many other help-
ful things which we can do for others
and for our Master.
Perhaps we cannot visit the skit
and the shut-ins. but we can write
a note which will cheer them and
help to pass the day. Many, nianv

their lives. .It was, of course _ given
in story forni but. things likethatimpressed on a child's mind' are
never forgotten.
We can safely say that some of
the most beautiful lessons we have
learned have been from people who
have never spoken from a public plat-
form, but who have believed on their
Saviour and have taken Iliin into
their lives and have so laved Him
that others have been influenced by
their lives and have eventually been
led to Him just by the Christian life
which they have led. Are we one
of those? If not let us make up our
minds that right now we will believe
on Him and will serve Hine and
others. ,
May we forget ourselves entirely
and go out and work for Him who
said: "Beni ye one another's burdens
and fulfil the law of Christ"
"Let others be my motto
Today and every day.
Assist me, dear Lord', always
To live the `Jesus' way.
If `others' be my standard,
Myself, I will forget,
My troubles all will vanish
As if we ne'er had niet.
With 'others' my life's object,
Upon my way I go,
And Jesus will be with me
For He has told me so."--M.S.
