Grant, Goderieh, Ont. a ing the .fields: .In our short sight- edness all we could see was a pile of snow and we knew we had to take a shovel and get it out of the way. We could see the Woods pile going down and we were lifting board after board from the end of the coal bin. Through it all we could not stop grumbling long enough to realize we would soon be opening the windows to let the cool breezes through and would be taking off our winter out- fit and donning our summer togs. We were busy looking at the scravenger heap instead of drinking in the beauty of the flowers, Were it not for the cold winds of March which brought the -snow there would be little like- lihood of our having spring flowers, budding trees, and singing birds, This year spring seems to have come upon us earlier than usual and we are having the opportunity of viewing nature in a way from . whieh we will receive a great deal of 'good-. At the same time we can go unhap- pily on our way and see very little of it. Why does God give us the wonder- ful season of Spring? In some parts of our country there is winter pract- ically all the year. They have no robins, no song sparrows. no pussy willows, in fact none of the beauties of spring. It 18 indeed a great priv- ilege which God has given us. Do we appreciate it and get a real enjoy- inent out of it? Many of ns do not to the extent that we should. Take for example the different birds and flowers. Can we name even the com- monest of them? Are we able to go out at night, and looking up to the heavens point out the different stars? There is no reason why we should not be able to do so. There are many very simple books on .these Subjects if only we would -take a lit- tle time each day to study them. Be- cause we have not done so during the winter is no reason why we should not start now. We can study alone or with someone else. It is surpris- ing how far one can go in these sub- jects and with the warns spring and summer days coming on we have a wonderful opportunity of observing what we study. As we delve into it we see a beauty which we have never been able to see before. THE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company Head Office, Seaforth, Ont. • Officers: President, Wm.

In some we see a great deal of good, in others we see nothing .commendable. Why? because_ we do not look deep enough. A young lad, whose mother would never say anything unkind 'about anyone, decided he would try to make her say some thing detrimental to some one. and asked the question? "Mother, what, do you think of the devil?" The mother replied, "Well if. Christian people, were as busy a- bout their work as the devil is about his there weuid be a great deal More happiness in the world." How true that is and it can be applied to each one of us. A women complained' to a friend that her next door neighbor was so dirty and she said, "Just look at her washing on the line it is all streak- ed with dirt, The friend slipped over to the window and looked out, then she said "The clothes look clean to ane It transpired that the streaks of dirt Were on the windows of the comms plaining women's house. Let us not be 'always eritical of others. Some .one has said "Beauty is only skin deep" so often people who are in some way deformed have eharact- ers so beautiful that we have wished we could exchange with them. Looking out the samewindow sometime later in the day it was noticed that a dog had tried to find food in the garbage tin. Evidently accordingly to. the s'catteration of things around nothing of value was found. Does it ever Occur to us that we are :often doing nothing more or less than engaging in a scavenger hunt. We rush about "Mother and you" try ing to find something to fill an em- pty space in our lives., • We seek places of amusement where we would not want ' Christ to find us if Re should come; We find pleasure in- things nthings which are not useful and which we often have to adanit have no enjoyment in them; we are learn- ing nothing to our advantage from them and we come home all tired out knowing that we have .spent hours which must be marked down against us as wasted. What. have we left in the end? Nothing but a lot of rubbish which we do net want and no one else has any use for. There is a great deal more in life than that. Jesus Christ sent the Holy spirits to the :pestles and those who were with them, so that they might have something worth while in life. He invites us to share in the gifts which He is ready and willing to give us. What are we selling the Kingdom of Heaven for? Each one of us must answer that question for himself or herself. `There's a wisdom in • God's mercy. Like the wideness of the .sea; - There's a bindness itt His justice Which is more than liberty. For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind And the heart of the eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word. And our liyes would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord." t,PEG" TIME TABLE. 'Trains will airrive at and depart from Clinton as follows: Betide end"Codeiiee Div.
