Bear, A Lion, Eagle',' and Kangaroo All mixed up in the melee, to. An owl flew high, where he could see The highest branch of an old oak tree Where, in nests secure, for many a year All feathered folk had gathered here. Then he flew about, calling all hiss kin, Arid shouted: "This fight is ours'; get in And destroy this Beast, for I plainly see That he soon will spoil our beloved tree— Already hes battered its oaken face And left his mark •on its mighty • base." But some of the jackdaws clamoured: "Waft and see— Why worry about the rest of the tree? If he comes too close to our highest limb We very soon tvil1 fly at him, We will fight for the branch whereon. we dwell, But the rest of the tree can go to Hell!" The owl disapproved of their blasph- emy, • And utter lack of unity, For the jackdaws could not think of a thing But which had the blackest smooth- est . wing, Or which would sit in the shadiest spat, And, all that silly kind of rot Ambition, politics, creed. and race, We all agree have their proper place. Nobody lumen how this tale will end— it's up to you, and to me, my friend. Whether the Beast will reach the tree Is all a question of Unity. YOUR EYES ON THE GLORY OF GOD "From now forward our eyes must be on different sights, like young Pilot Officer Alexander D. Angus, who died in training this year and I wrote just before his death: "Saint and hero knew this land. In the days before our day: The glory that they sought and plann'd Is held at length within our hand, To bow or burgeon, as we stand, Burst forth or fade away. " 'This then, the lesson that they taught, And teach to those who. hear: Fight •on, fight on, as we have fought For what we held most dear, And walk like a man where . our red blood ran And' sank in the hallow'. sod, With feet on the earth which gave you birth, But your eyes on the glory of God.'

No other foods provides more nut- rition 'at low cost. its protein value equals that of meat or poultry. Fish oils are easily assimilated. Fish is rich in aninevee' salts, iodine, iron, calcium, phosphorus and sulphur, no essential to good health. It also con- tains a good supply of those vitamine which increase resistance to disease. With so many kinds of fish to choose from and different ways to nook it—baking, broiling, steaming or panfrying—it is easy to have variety in your dishes. Cooked carefully, so that none of its delicate flavour is lost, served with appropriate sauces' and cleverly garnished, you can be 'sure that everyone of the family will wish for fish. Cooking fish Wipe fish with a cloth wrung out in cold, salted water. Never leave fish soaking in water—flavour will be lost. 1. To boil fish allow 8-10 minutes per pound; 10-15 minutes if very thick. 2. To steam fish allow 12-15 minutes per pound; turn once or twice. 3. To bake or broil fish allow 8-10 minutes per inch thickness of fish at temperature of 450 degrees for the first 10 minutes, then lower to 35Q degrees. The high tem- perature used at first sets the juices and holds the flavour. 4. Parsley is the favourite garnish for fish.

What a beautiful prayer l Would that we, ere we take up the work of each city would just get down on our knees, ask God; to go with us ev- ery step o8 the way, and, then, in Particular, request Him to guard) us in all we say. One of ,the, most beautiful portions of God's Hly Word is that part which tells use of the last time Jesus met with the twelve. Knowing all that was before Him it must have been with sadness beyond expression that He sent the apostles' Petee and John out with the instruction's to find the upper room and.there to prepare for the Passover. In Saint Matthew we have "Now when the evens was come, he sat down with the twelve": There is al- ways something beautiful about the evening hour. The rush of the day is •over; the sun is preparing to set and to bring dawn the dawn to another clime; children are becoming tired and many will soon be seeking slumb- er land; twilight is sending its first shadows here, and' there. There is something sombre and sublime as "the longest day at last bows down to even." Christ had been in close compan onship with the chosen twelve for the greater part of His ministery. they might each one have been called illiterate, not in the ,sense that we understand that word today, but they were unversed in Rabbinical teaching. They were young men of varied dis- positions.

I am going to stay ,]away from them." It is all very well for people opposed to Christ to say that here where there are others to ,side with them, but when it comes to the Judgment there will be no `world' to agree with them. Each one of us will face ;Christ alone. It will be a time. •of joy or trembling. There are many thoughts which may be pondered from this story of the Passover. There is the Institu- tion of the Lord's- Supper ,that beaut- iful memorial service; the example of Jesus when He girded Himself with a towel and washed the feet of the dis- ciples. This includes the refusal of Peter to have his feet bathed by His Master and the reply of Christ "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Then the ready response of Peter `Lord!, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." Many sermons have been preahed on this incident in the life of our Lord. Today there is just one thought uppermost in our minds to be considered from these few words, Jesus Christ knew that Judus Is- eariot was to betray them. He with- out doubt realized the 'character of this traitor with whom He had com- panioned for •some time. In all pro- bability He had had many talks with him along the line •of boarding. We feel that He dealt with each one of the apostle in regard to any personal weakness he might have, and yet, re- ferring to Judus, He kept the matter so closely to Himself that when He said during the supper, "verily I say unto you, that one of you shall be- tray .me," that not •one of the other disciples knew to whom He referred. That is perhaps one of the most beautiful thoughts in love or charity contained in all the Bible. How Christ must have longed for human .campanionehip in the thought that some one, as near to Him as Judas was, would betray Hini into the hands of those who would'event- ually crucify Hint and yet He kept it secret, One can hardly believe that any man could be in the immediate company with Jesus Christ for the number of months Judus companioned, with his saviour, and could plot and plan such a crime. Lt us look well into aur li- ves and we will probably see that we are .betraying our Lord for a great. deal less than thirty pieces of silver. Under the same circumstances could we have been as charitable to- wards Judas as Christ was? Should the Lord spare us, after we retire tonight and all is quiet let our thoughts travel back over our day and .recall what we have said and done during the hours which have passed into eternity. Rave we by any chance said anything which Would be hurtful to anyone? Have we taken a wrong meaning out of something which has been ss.id• to use Have we govt; to our next door neigh- bor or down the street an in every injured tone of voice repeated what was said and on and on the story has travelled until when it came back to us we could not recognize it as the sale grievance we started ,on its way. It may be we have passed on a story- which has s been told to us. If we were truly Christian, people would feel that they did not dare come and:, tell us harmful stories, about some one 'else. Only in un- ity is there strength. Prime Minister Churchill in his recent broadcast said, "Whoever is guilty of the crime of bringing about . disunity, of him let is be said that it were better that a millstone were hung about his neck and that he were cast into the sea." "Charity thinketh no evil much less repeats it." So often we do not be- lieve a story yet we will• pass it on its harmful way. Somebody has said that we are often in "an agony* of suppressed information." A minister reently went to a Radio station to take part in the Morning Devotions program, He .was told to go into a oer}ain room whence his message was to .go out over the air - After opening- double doors he was. given to understand' by the o erater peek. p that he was not•to s 'Whelk the operator' had finished his announce - a > ial, then said to Big Mountain Peaks in to h , . i i s n :' Nov you can talk it I will go no fur,her" The minister r 6 Colombia;, Rise 3 Mites I d :aid "Good morning The mighty Andes mountains e Id .t -.ave bear h. and?

IN CANADA Are yon a Dagwood Bumgtead, grabbing a cup of coffee for breakfast and dashing madly out the door? What did you have for breakfast this morning? Orange juke and cof fee? Maybe just toast and coffee. Perhaps nothing at all? That's a bad habit, according to the Health League of Canada. .Between dinner and breakfast is the longest gap in time that comes be- twen any meals and when you got u in the morning your stomach is nail; empty. Therefore, it is pointed out, you have no food: to call on a source of energy all morning, and your work and all your activities will suffer. The Health League advises a fruit or fruit juice first for breakfast. Next you should have either cereal with milk or cream or some cooked dish of eggs er meat, like sausage or bacon with or without pancakes. Toasted whole wheat bread is better than ord- inary white bread, because it has more Vitamin B. One of the most important food el- ements in breakfast, for adults and children both, says the experts, is milk. Plenty of.it.should beavailable for cereals or oocoa•or just to take plain ,along with the above -sugges- ted food. According to Dr. M. IL Zimmerman instructor at the School of D'.,ntiutcy: New York University, most people do not look after their teeth properly. This lack of proper care has the re- sult that by the age of 25 most peo- ple average four teeth lost; by thirty, the number has increased to seven, and by forty ,there are about 10 gone, Dr. Zimmerman explains that much of the fault lies with the cleaning de- partment of teeth care. The simple rotary movement that childmen make e wh n brushingtheir teeth 19 not t en- ough. They are first teeth, but adults must attach their molars much more vigorously. This includes daily mas- saging of the gums and cleaning of the crevices' between the testa. A small brush, with a stiff bristle is best to use. Unless there is name special dental condition,any good ad- vertised brand of toothpaste will do. There are several 'directions to clean thoroughly—front, inside top andi bot- tom, outside top and bottom' andthe same for both left and right side teeth. Di'. Zimmerman reeenanends brush- ing the teeth after every meal, but twice a day is actually sufficient, if thejob is : drone conscientiously..

The northern parts of the Andes are mainly in Colombia. They rise to great heights. Some of the peaks are more than 31 miles high! They are higher than Pike's peak, Mount Whitney or any other peak in North America except Mount McKinley, Alaska, and Mount Logan in north- western Canada. Mount llecleinley rises to a height of almost four miles. It is higher than any peak .in Colombia, but some other high parts of the Andes go up a bit farther. In northern Argentine there is a peak 'Pn, miles high. The foothills, valleys and lower slopes of Colombia's mountains are covered with a rich growth of trees and other plant life. The forests of Colombia contain trees which provide part of the world's supply of vanilla, the flavor- ing so , widely used in making ice cream and cake. Other plant products of this South American republic are sarsaparilla, rubber and quinine. Quinine is of great importance in fighting the dread disease known as malaria. On mountain slopes df Colombia and in valleys at heights of from one to two miles, it is possible to grow almost any crop to be found in the United States. Wheat, corn and potatoes are among the things raised by Colombian farmers. Humus Is Important in. Restoration of Soil Just 10 years ago a brilliant young scientist made known in Eng- land his discovery of the rummer in which plants obtain from the soil and air the elements required for growth. it was simply a matter of giving back to the soil that which had been taken away—a new idea, then, but one which is now generally accept- ed as the basis of all scientific agri» culture, whether it be the cultiva- tion of grain by the hundred acres or garden flowers by the few square feet, "But it is not enough merely to return to the soil those elements of which it has been depleted by culti- vation," declares Charles A. Monoo- gian, noted chemist of California. "These elements, essential to the health and growth of plant life, must be restored in a farm which as nearly approximates humus as pos- sible; that is why any fertilizer, to be really effective, must be manu- factured through the utilization of those same principles that made vir- gin soil fertile." Humus, as most of us know, is the dark brown or black residue that remains after decay in the soil. Its presence is so important that neither field crops nor garden flow- ers can grow without it. Humus provides a large, quantity of plant food; it also serves as a reservoir of moisture required by growing plants. Five Civilized Tribes The five civilized tribes of In- dians were the Cherokee, Chicka- saw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole tribes. They were given this col. lective name because of their ad- vance toward civilized life and cus. toms. The name appears in the reports of the United States office of Indian affairs as early as 1876 when an agent reported that each tribe "had a constitutional government, with legislative, judicial and executive departments, conducted upon the same plan as our state govern. ments, the entire expenses of which are paid out of their own funds." These tribes differed from most others in that their lands were held not on the same basis as reserva- tions, but by patents or deeds in fee simple, with certain restric, tions as to alienation and reversion. Father's Day Father's day origin is a subject of dispute. According to one state. meet it was first celebrated in the United States in June, 1910. Mrs, John Bruce Dodd, Spokane, Wash., began a movement in 1909 to honor fathers; Mrs. Walter Hamlet Bur- gess of Virginia, now Cheltenham, had a National Father's Day, Inc., registered in the U. S. Patent Office in 1921. Other claimants to honor of founding day include 1VIrs. Charlotte L. Kirkbride and Mrs. Carrie Stern- berg, of Philadelphia, and Harry C, Meek, of Chicago. Father's day is 'now celebrated the third Sunday in June. Another authority says Fa- ther's day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on June 18, 1911, "and had its origin from the celebration of Mother's day, inaugurated by Miss Anna Jarvis of that city." Badge of Father's day is the rose. Reublic of Uruguay uay Uruguay is the smallest of. the South American republics. Its in- rabitants joined Argentina inthe re - molt against Spain in 1810.
