RECONSECRATION Battered and scarred by many a blow, Onward we doggedly steer, :Skirting uncharted rocks and shoals, Marking another year, 'With storm -drenched eyes we eager- ly -peer At the flickering light ahead; :And we scarce can mark, we dare not pause To mourn our gallant dead. Yet, by their high-souled courage in, wired, By perilous seas won through,' By broken hearts and shattered lives, We pledge our faith anew . That neither the rocks, nor shoals, nor waves Which threaten, shall overwhelm; As vie chart our courseby* Heaven's Light, Our Pilot at the helm! With courage and hope and faith in prayer - We steer for the open sea; We recon'seerate our Cause to God, Our Lives to Victory! Oraee Pollard,Montreal. MAINE HARBOR The tide is in. The boat landing floats high, And the ancient rocks and yellow - green moss. Sink in the clear, cold depths. The little boats Glide in, as gray doves to their even- ing cote. Slim sails gleam in the sun -cool light and droop To the mast when the ropes let down. The harbor Boats are all returning now, but two black Hulls', sad relies of "nineteen-seven- teen," nineteenseven- teen," Find, no rest in the quiet cove—they are towed Beyond the pine -green hill, past the farthest point. Toward the restless sea and endless sound Of the spray -wet winds. Every afternoon We walk over the wide grass that runs down To the harbor where the tide comes in, sweeps Among the caverns and rolls over the brown Stones and gray sea moss; and the sun -gold stipples The crisping breakers. Every evening gulls Wheel up and drift and mew their plaint and drop To their island hermitage in the still Cool cove, and the boats by the hand- ing speak, In their silent motion, of harbor peace. —Nellie B. Mace THE MOTHER My child is'out on the fierce battle- field— How shall I may for him? The angel, stooping, whispered tend- erly; Pray net for him alone, pray for all these -- The guardians of the air and of the seas, .Sentries in snow, sentries in desert sand.— Pray for all these; and pray for, most of alt Those other children of the shadowed land Whose ignorance is ]veld in thrall To a blind groping tyranny: Your earthly love is stained with self and pride; The mother of Zebedee's children came arms; Here then, most surely housed from war's alarms, a With comfort, trust, and tender grace indeed, ' Leave him to that divine solicitude: Thus shall you pray for him. —Alice Mabel Walrond, In the Christ_ Ian Science 1Vlonitor. PREFERENCE I think God loves the morning, That time when eaeh new day Starts out upon its journey Along earth's broad highway. ] think Godloves the noontide, A halfway place to stay; And rest the wreary feet Which walk in duty's way. But, best, God loves the evening, When folk come home to dwell, And sit within love's circle And; know that all is well. —Caloine.

And yet, Chit pieture re - alis one of the most thrilling maritime episodes of the present war, and cep. tainly one unparallert in naval hist - tory. The submarine is the German U-boat that surrendered in the At- lantic to a Lockheed Hudson aircraft of the British Coastal Command! The 'Hudson, on patrol, sighted the TI -boat and attacked. The submarine was damaged and surfaced, The crew tumbled out of the conning tower. Five times the British 'plane circled around, with guns trained on its as- sailant, Then form the submarine's deck came the waving of a white shirt in token of surrender. For nearly four hours the British `plane contin- ued, its watch until it was relieved by an American -built Catalina flying boat of the British. Coastal Command. This "gaolorship" from the air was continued, for ten hours, until the first British ship arrived as daylight was fading. British ships stood by all through the night, untlI the rough seas had subsided sufficiently for the submarine to be made fast and towed safely to a British port. In the pie- ture one of the British ships is seen, its guns trained on the U-boat. wPe•s..ir-..r..r.+.v+.r+. Whatisllabit? Bs "PEG" ing us and is drawing us: closer to Him, where as if we were up and around we would probably have no time to listen. Let da accept what- ever he sends us knowing it is for the best. In' connection with that we should cultivate the habit of being hopeful. No matter how the battle goes' ive can still trust air:'' (7) The habit of er_gueing. This, is a .mean habit and so often it lead's to impatienit, and irritated words, which we have no sooner said than we regret It'nsuallq, gets u& is wheire, for When. the arg anent is, over each one still has his; or her own idea.. 1 (S) The habit of criticizing and judging. The Bible tells us "Judge not, that ye be not judged" and yet how often we unjustly pass an unkind op= ron about someone. (9) The habit of being pessimistic A person who is a pessimist is really not a follower of God, for we are show- ing to the world that we have no trust in Him. Things may look dark ahead of us, but take as. our .motto "Trust on" and our dark outlook will soon show the breaking of, the dawn of happier times. Is your pathway lone and long Trust on In your heart' is there no song Trust on Jesus Christ will lead the way And will ever with us stay Through the night and through the day, Trust an. What do we say is happening when we do things over and over again•? We are forming a habit. How many kinds of habits are there? Two, good and bed. What are some of the hab- its we form? (1) The habit of . making excuses. As with the majority of habits this is a very easy one to form, and is one of the worst we Can ,fall into. The difference between an excuse and a reason is that there is a real cause behind a reason, but an excuse is something which we make up because we do not wish to carry out some en- gagement which we have promised to fulfil. We have at times made things very inconvenient for others because we have made promises which we in- tended to keep only in case something else turned up which was more to our liking. Never let an excuse break a promise to a,sick person for that one is .probably in bed with practically no means of making other plans. Some- one has quite rightly said, "'Fire keep on making .excusee until we cannot tell the difference between an excuse and a reason." We do not realize how far we fall in other peoples estimation when we make excuse after' excuse. They finally get that; they will just leave us out of their plans altogether. When we continue to make excuses first thing we know we have resorted to the habit of telling what isnot true. Excuse making is bad enough, but lying is much worse. (2) The habit of shirking responsi- bility. How weak we are in charac- ter when we persist in shirking re- sponsibility. How many children to- day are placing the care of their par- ents on someone else. What does soc- iety think of parents who put their children into some home while they live a life of pleasure and no respon- sibility. The same may be said of children who cast their parents to one side to be eared for by those whe have no responsibibity in connection with them. (3) The habit of being cheerful and happy -There are many things which come our way these days which have a tendency to make us doleful and long faced. As we meet a person with a smite, in the majority of eases that one will return the smile. The same may be said about those who go about finding fault with everybody and ev- erything. If you are miserable and un- happy yourself it will not take long to make others the same way. There is a great deal more in the world to rejoice over than to scowl about. Let us get busy and look for the happy things in life. We sometimes say we get our cross look from our ancestors. They, very likely, had many more trials than we have because they looked stern that does not mean that we need to turn that stern look into a look of bitter- ness. Some one has said that "half the people who are awake are com- plaining." If we busy ourselves help- ing others we will not have mueh time to complain." After all do we want to be in the company of anyone who is always complaining? (4) The habit of being unfair to people—When we take a dislike to anyone it is, always so hard to see any_ thing good which they may do. They may be working satisfactorily but be, cause we have a dislike for them we cannot see the good quality of their work. This is a. habit, which if over- come, will make us much more unhap- py. These same people might be a great help to no if we would only let then,, (5) The habit of encouragement. Many a young lad or lassie has clim- bed the ladder of success simply be - cease a word of encouragement has' been given them by en, older person and how easy it ie to give that word! It matters not in what line of work we are. it becomesmime easier if we find someone who is interested in us. Parents should take this specially to themselves and try to make compare- ione of their children. How pleased a child is when he or she finds that the parents are interested in his minor in_ ventions. Nearly all the great dis- coveries in the world have been made in some attic room, or barn or base- ment. A boy or girl with, a good 'hob- by will not go far wrong. The play time of children has in many cases given them the idea of their future life work. (6) The habit of contentment. How many of ue can say, with St. Paul in his letter to the Phillipians, "I have learned, in whatever state I am, there with to .be content." Surely if Paul with all his trials could' be content how much more .should we strive to be happy with whatever our lot is. We may be sure that God knows, and that itis well foreis.. It may be sickness is our crossand that God has laid us aside in, order that He may teach us lessons which we would otherwise never learn. The greatest work in our lives may be going on while we are lying on a'bedr of pain. Gods is teach - I "PEG" v UNEMPLGYIVIENT INSURANCE COMMISSION Extra Christmas Employees Christniat is WWlhing, and the Christ - thee rush will Watt be in full swing. This means temporary employment for a large number of persons in Canada. Mr. Watt, Manager of the local Em- ployment and Claims Office, today ex- plained the application of the Unem- ployment Insurance Act to this type of employment. He said that late registration by employers • indicated that many did not understand the sections of the Unem- ployment Insurance Act relating to temporary, casual, and part-time em- ployment. Employees taken on tem- porarily for the Christmas rush would, he said, come tinder the provisions of the Act. Employees may be engaged for one or two days by a number of Firms to assist them during the rush period. In such cases the temporary empoyees are insurable if they are available for work for more than two days in the week, regardless of whether the em- ployer needs them for only the one or two days. The same rule applies to all tempor- ary employees. Employers engaging temporary employees in insurable oc- cupations, whether the employment is for an hour or longer, are required to stamp: the employees' book. Casual employpnemt is sometimes confused with temporary employment. In the list of expected employments item 16 reads "Casual employment otherwise than for the employer's re- gular business." This applies to an employee hired to do work for an em - player when the work is not in the em. ployer's ordinary line of business. For example, a store keeper may hire a carpenter to do work in his store -building shelves, putting in floor, etc. This is not casual employment, but temporary,.since it is considered a part of the employer's business' and contributions must be ,made by the em- ployer to the Insurance Fund. If, however, the same store keeper hired the same carpenter on an hourly basis to build a verandah on his home, provided that the time to do the work did not exceed ten days, the employ- ment would be considered casual, and therefore, not insurable. Work of this type which is not part of the employ- er's business is insurable if ittakes more than ten days, and: a stamp is re- quired for each day worked. An erroneous, belief also exists that pastime employment is not insurable, and that contributions are not requir- ed in respect of such employment. Transient workers—those who Work whenever they can for an long as they can—are those to whom part-time employment chiefy applies. Any employer who hires a part- time worker must first ascertain whether the new employee him 'an in- surence book, and if lie as, the cin, ployer must insert i i ranee stamps, even' if the'employmerut'is for one dry only, or part of a day,.

SLOGAN: SEE NAPLES AND DIVE The people of Naples., as the result of a recent series of. Rt,AI,F, visits, have seen their city, ravaged by a fire which must snake a night of incendiar- ies, in London dining Iset winter seem pale by comparisons; report returning British bombing creme. On four consecutive nights, the R.A. F. remorselessly pounded Naples through wet weather and fine. To be- gin with, incendiaries dropped, en a storage depot started a number of fires which were increased in intensity by high explosives to a conflagration covering amm.awe, of 400 square yards. Flames rising to a thousand feet and a column of smoke 12,000 feet high were seen eighty miles from the target. Many buildings were demolished and the railway station was set ablaze, The great fire still raged twenty- four hours later, when heavy bomber aircraft returned to attack. This time the rain fell in sheets and a layer of cloud 10,000 feet thick enveloped the city. The lower clouds were aglow with light. Many whose homes—ad- jacent to nulitaryl objectives --were hissing, charred remains or blazing ruins suffered ' an additional ordeal seeking shelter through the fog and rain. only to be turned out once again when the B.A.F. dropped more bombs and lit fresh fires. Nor would it have been easy to leave Naples by rail, for the railway, which had been hit the night before, now had, a conflagration blazing in its yarde On the third night the R.A.F,rained thousands' of pounds of high explos- ives on military objectives for nearly six hours, The next night, Naples was again shrouded in low clouds and rain, yet once again our bombers successfully located their targets, adding to the havoc and blaze of their three preced- ing visits, The fourth night -saw a return of large formations of bombers which suecessl!ully hit a torpedo and) air- frame factory and wrought more have oc around theW station. "Jumping Jobs" Ts Discouraged Manufacturers are discouraged from accepting workers who have "jumped their jobs" in war work in ss. another company, in a circular issu- ed by T. H. Scott, field representa- tive of the Dominion -Provincial War Emergency Training Program. This program has been instituted by the government to give men and women specialized training for war industry, Mr. Scott draws attention to a re- cent case in which a man had been. given three months training and had been transferred to a war job. There he wee given an additional 250 hours on a specialized machine with proper wage adjustments, "Now, when herecognizes that he has mastered the intricacies that the machine and the work -he wants to jump the job," Mr. Scott states. "Both the Company and ourselves have refused a release for this man. This capricious jumping around af- fects the delivery of many important 'Bits and Pieces' which, in some cases affects production in the plant to which he might seek to change." Mr. Scott also draws attention to a recent ease where a young woman was seriously injured in a factory because she had not had much pre- liminy explanation, "(lur train- ing program prevents such injury and loss of production as it makes male and female workers shop wise and ac- quainted with machinery so that when actual production work is accepted, such injuries are minimized,' the circular states, WE ARE PAYING k 3/% ON FIVE YEAR GUARANTEED TRUST CERTIFICATES ISSUED IN ANY AMOUNT An Ideal authorized investment For individuals, companies, cemr tery boards, executors and other trustees, STICKLING TRUSTS CORPORATION 372 HAY $T. TORONTO 1 MINIMIOONO Rk=SNAPSHOT GUILD CHARACTER SEQUENCES A situation such as this makes a fine starting point for a "character sequence," Each picture should be a close-up, to show your actor's expression. TS SOMEBODY in your family a l good actor? Maybe someone is— but you haven't discovered it yet. Then here's a snapshot idea that will help you find out—and will provide interesting winter activity for your camera. The idea Is, simply—make char- acter sequences. Just snapshots in a series—three, four, or a half•doz- en—showing your actor in some kind of situation. And, of course, showing how he comes out. These pictures should be close- ups — emphasizing your subject's tace and his expression—so, get out your portrait attachment. If you haven't one, this le a good time' to obtain 'one—they're simple, useful, and belong in every camera kit. In- doors, of course, you take these shots by meana of amateur photo limbs- and high speed • film—using any kind'of basnerds Topics for sequences.?'They're•le- gion. You, might, trythe. picture, above as a starter. Have your sub• ject attack the obstinate walnut with the nutcracker, then• a ham- mer, then perbapA a . mallet and chisel, or sledge. As an ending, let Johnny open it for him with a., mere tap. The pictures are, of course, mounted in the album in proper se- quence. A clever titre helps, and sometimes you can borrow one from a well-known book, song, or bit of current slang. Another way is to pick a title first, and build the, story or sequence around it. Toy puzzles—such as a Chinese, wood block puzzle, or metal link puzzle—are always good for an ex- pressive sequence. Parlor magic tricks are good too just show your subject performing a trick that doesn't come out right, Or, have him in the kitchen, compiling one of the skyscraper sandwiches that the comic strips have made famous . and` then trying to figure out how to eat 1t. A• good method is to, outline sev- eral.of these amusing sequences— easy ones -rand then make one each evening that you take oilier indoor snaps.''YoU'A And "'they add spice and humor to the snapshot; a;•bum., 320 John van Guilder
