THE BOOK

And the book for a moment falls,

•Here where the text runs on,
"For when April came,"
And my thoughts on soft feet take
flight
• At the magic name
April the word that burns'.
With a thin green flame.
• And in at the door comes then
My daughter dancing,
And from her eyes the .very glance

Her lips the ]ow half -sigh
Of April laughter
Let breathe, and swiftly then
A moment after

And how then, can I fine' the way

WISH FOR. FISH`
Hello Homemakers! In wart 'ane,

foode Canada provides in abundance,
while restricting the use of other
foods needed overseas. No other
country has greater or finer supplies
AN ALLEGORY of fish than Canada and fish is one
The inhabitants of a greenwood fair food Clanatliians should eat oftener
Saw, in mighty conflict, a Beast, , a than they do.
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.

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

Have we govt; to our next door neigh-
bor or down the street an in every

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."

Charity has many meanings but the
most important of them is love. "And

these three, but the greatest of these
is charity."

The Health League advises a fruit

you should have either cereal with

with or without pancakes. Toasted

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-

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."
