UNCERTAINTY ixivwwa��nb.+++.r«ua•. By "Mother we are taking an awful chance in: going up in a bomber, Any- thing, • sometimes ' very little, goes wrong or our ship is struck and it is almost certain death for us. So said a youth in one of his last talks, to his mother before leaving for overseas. "Yes, John,.,I realize that,, replied the proud yet sorrowful mother ".but in God's keeping you are just' as safe up in the air as you are on the ground. The one and only thing -to do is to be ready should the Lord call you. You remember John a few years ago when Frank Stewart was driving through the city he missed a stop sign and shot out into the road right in frontof an ice truck which look half his engine off. I have never *rotten how I felt when, he told. us about it. He taked about not •seeing the stop sign, of how badly the engine had been damaged, of the ice which was bounced off on the road', about 'what the police Odd about his car; how quickly the crowd gathered, what the insurance company had said and about what the bill was ,going to be, but John there was not one word about what it would have :meant if he had been two feet furth- •er out on the highway when he was •struck or where he would in all pro- bability' have spent Eternity. We are '.not supposed to judge but we believe that he was not ready if God had •called him right then and it seems to have made no difference in his life since. )4fy son you are going •out to do a good work, We believe that this is a war of good against • evil and we cannot help but believe that God is on our side. It is true that there are many chances, but I am ' sending you away feeling that if your •tall should come that you are ready to meet your Saviour. My •earnest daily prayer will be that if it is God's will that you will come back to us, but should your time come then it is God's will and we will just abide by it. The one and only thing is to be ready,". This is a true story and to how many young mien: and women it ap- plies There are. Christian fathers and mothers who are sending their sons and dadghters:away with the con£id. "PEG" have done all they could do to bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord, They have realized that their children were a loan and that they would be at least partly respon- sible for them at the throne of God. It is true that there are youths brought un in Christian homes, and they are by sio means ready to go if God should .call them. They have chosen the way -of the world and the world and its leader the devil, will .claim them if they do not change their ways. If the parents have done ,their utmost to bring them up right then we believe that God will place the responsibility on the young man or woman. What about the parents who have accepted the loan of children, and who not being Christians themselves have no knowedge of God's Word to pass on to their child or family. It is probable that they never give it a thought that at the judgment they will receive 'from God, a just condem- nation for their neglect. God is a God of love, but is also one of Justice. In these days as some parents part with their loved ones sending them out into the field of battle. They can give them no comfort to help them in time of need. Whata tragedy --What. a tragedy! There is a much published story. from a Lieutenant in the American army to his sister. Be tells of his ex• perienee in it bomber. Under attack liewas shot and his buddy was seriously injured. When able to get up he took his Bible from his pocket and discovered an ugly hole in the cover, It bad probably saved his life. He opened it and turned the pages until he came to where the bullet had stopped. It was in Psalm 91 at that beautiful yerse "A. thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee, Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked." The buddy decided that there and then he would seek and find his Sav- iour. He would not allow thorn to at- tend his wounds saying "Nothing mat- ters new but this" for sixteen hours he stayed on his knees until finally • ence that all is well .with thein, They he fully accepted Christ. Then there cane into his life a joy the like of which he had never known before. Even when we are certain that we belong to Chnriat are we giving our best to Him? A story is told of Queen Victoria, whose birthday we seoently observed. She loved her highiartd home, Balmoral Castle, and she liked to go about incogneto. One day while out walking a rain storm came up and she sought abetter in a cottage. on the estate. The rainb continuing she asked if she might borrow an um- brella. The .good woman of the house not recognizing liar quite willingly offered her an old one. She was very much surprised a few days later to receive a -beautiful umbrella from the queen. Her only •sorrow was that she had not given the best she had to her beloved Sovereign. Do we give our best to our Heavenly King or de we bring sadness to him by offering anything less than our beat? What a wonderful lesson' there is for us in that parable of the ten Vir- gins, five of them wise and five fool- ish: They were all doubtless good characters and all ,had the same op- portunity to sectsrc the oil for their lamps. Five allowed something else to interfere with their plans and when the Bridegroom came five failing to borrow oil from the others were com- pelled to hurry away to replenish their stock: Sad to relate when they came back the Bridegroom and the five wise virgins had gone into the hall where the bridal supper was to .be held and the door was shut. All they had to console thein were the words of their Master whom they had come to honor "Verily I say unto you, I know you not." Do we ever talae time to think ser- iously and prayerfully about our stan- dard in life? We have no assurance truly that two minutes yes even two seconds from now we will have passed into everlasting life. Christ may can us or He may come. If we are ready it matters not which Life is and always will lie uncertain—Where are 'ave going to spend Eternity? "Each one must reap The harvest he has soar Since what we ,share In all the snake our own; Be this thy simple trust, Thy joyous creed: God's' grace is still, Sufficient for man's need.

Cancelled Brown Coupons Are Not Good for Meat Cancelled brown "Spare A" coupons on temporaty ration cards issued be- fore meat rationing went into effect, are not good for meat purchases, Wartime Prices and Trade Board off- icials emphasize.

Such cards, issued before May 27, had dou- ble inked lines drawn across the spare A, B, and C coupons on each sheet.

PIfOTOGGRAPHY as a universal hobby has one great advantage in that it lits in perfectly with prac- tically any other pastime or avoca- tion. If you like to go hiking, bike rid- ing, or camping you can always take your camera along. If you are interested in animals and birds, flowers, or chemistry and metallur- gy, the camera provides' a perfect means of preserving your experi- ences.' Not only is picture making • enjoyable in itself, but it will ac- tually increae the enjoyment you obtain from your other hobbies. The best idea, of course, is to use your camera constructively. If you like to ' build things -model trains, for example --keep a step- by-step record of your work when- ever you build something new. Many specialists—such asengi- neers, doctors, and construction men—actually take their cameras to work with them. Whenever they come upon a tough problem, or an unusual Case, they make a com- plete record of it. Such photographs are invaluable reference material. In most cases specialized equip - meat isn't at all necessary. An or- dinary camera a reliable exposure guide, perhaps a close-up portrait attachment, and possibly a illtei' will fill all requirements. Then it's Just a matter of focusing correctly and, generally following good pho- tographic technique. . Look over your other hobbies to- day. Think of how you might put phot graphy to work in increasing yon: enjoyment of them. Whatever you're interested in, you'll get a .. greater kick out of it if you keep the story permanently in pictures, 400 John van Guilder'
