At the time of the arrest of Jesus
Christ, a sword bs the hand of Peter,
one of His disciples, cut off the ear
of the servant of the high priest.
In our bodies We carry an instrument
of torture which is sharper than any
two edged sword.
Dealing with the subject ofgossip
there are ether ways besides our
tongue in which we can convey to
others that which is not true. The
negative or affirmative nod of the
head will give the same idea.
During the summer season people
congregate more than they do at any
other time of . the year. 'There are
back fence chats, front verandah,
talks, picnics at the end of a car
drive and many other places where'
gatherings are held.
The local affairs are usually up-
permost in one's mind and it does
seem as if nothing can go on without'
giving rise to criticism of one an-
other. So often this 'takes the place
of merited praise.
The character of many a ?nano
woman or`even boy or girl has been'
runined in a conversation over a back
yard fence. It may be that it has i
been unintentional, but a chance
word has been said to the wrong
person, and before the informant has
got well in the house, the news has
been added to and spread until the
one who gave the information in the
first place would not recognize the
story at all.

is idleness. Where there is nothing

The mother is elderly now- and the

METHOD OF TREATMENT FOR
EFFECTS OF POISON"
IVY
There: are still many sequestered
nooks and rocky beauty spots beyond
the reach: of the; plough where pois-
oning may be encountered: Poison
ivy prefers the wildwood, so do holi-
day makers. Hence the need for
caution.
Poison ivy has many guises.' It
may appear as a low shrubby patch,
or as a fence border, or as a climber
like the Virginia creeper. Each stem
of poison ivy bears three smooth,
even glossy, leaves. Those of the
Virginia creeper are in fives. In
early summer" poison ivy grows whits
ish flowers on green stalks, later to
become dull• whitish, berries, each the
size of a field, pea. The Virginia
creeper, which is not • poisonous, has
clusters of blue fruit on red stalks.
The active element of poison ivy
is an oil which permeates the plant,
in the root, stem, leaf, • flower, fruit,
and even to the easily detached hairs.
Breaking or bruising any part of the
plant liberates the oil to come in con-
tact with the exposed parts of, the
person touching it. The first sign
of infection is usually a slight itch-
ing, followed by a faint blush of the
skin, The itching increases and from
a few hours, or days perhaps, num-
erous blisters, or there may be only
one blister, appear. In mild cases,
.immediate scrubbing with strong
laundry soap will effect a cure, if
the serubbing•is done before the oil
has really penetrated the skin.
In severe cases, '•the treatment
most widely recommended is pates-
siuin permanganate which has for its
purpose the destruction of the poison
itself by oxidation. The parts are
swabbed with a three per cent solu-
tion, made somewhat weaker if the
skin is particularly sensitive. Once
blisters have formed, rubbing should
be carefully avoided. If baking soda,
boracic acid, or other cooling sub-
stances are used, no application
should be made when the sores are
oozing. °therwitne a crust may bel
formed, and the conditions aggravat-
ed.

BAILEY-HOGG
Stately pines and spruces at the
summer home of the bride's' father,
Pinedyne, Southampton, formed a de-
lightful outdoor setting for the mar-
riage of Mis Ethel I. Hogg to Mr.
Gordon H. Bailey. The ceremony was
performed by the bride's father, Rev.
J. E. Hogg, D.D., assisted by the
father of the groom, Rev, C. J. Bail-
ey, at high noon on Friday, June 30.
The bride who was given in mar-
riage by Mr. D. A. MacRae, wore a
gown of pink silk net with bouffant
skirt and embroidered fitted bodice
and sweetheart neckline. Her shoul-
der length veil of pink tulle was fast-
ened with a halo of .flowers to cor-
respond with her bbuquet of Briar-
eIiffe roses, gypsophilia and -corn-
flowers. She was attended by her
sister, Mrs. D. A. MacRae in yellow
silk net with matching bolero. Her
halo and bouquet were of Johanna
Hill roses and cornflowers. The floral
decorations harmonizing with the
gowns of the wedding party,' were
baskets of delphiniums, peonies and
roses. The groom was attended by
his brobher, Mr. J. W. Bailey,
Following the marriage, the recep-
tion was held at Hampton Villa. The
bride's mother wore grey suede lace
with violet hat and corsage of orch-
ids, The mother of the groom was
gowned in navy silk lace with match-
ing hat and corsage of Johanna Hill
roses.
The happy couple left for a motor
trip to New York, the bride travel-

with white accessories. On their re-
turn Mr. and Mrs. Bailey will reside
in Stouffvilie, Ontario.

WHY OLD SHOES AT
WEIDDINGS?.
Marriage customs change slowly.
Yet we have seen the change frame
Wednesday to. Saturday as the great.
day because young people . seize the
last minute of free time. Then, again,
the old saw about "marriage in haste,
we may repent at -leisure' has lost
its point.
So many young mere find the mate'
long before they have the money to
support her. Very little haste ;in
marriage is seen today and often
parents have to help finance the
young couple for few years. This
shows that business is out of joint.
Old shoes figura in the customs
of marriages and have done for manyy,
a day. History records that it Nis:
once the accepted mode for the
bride's father to give the groom one
of the young lady's shoes as a syr.,

The practice continues in the de.
eoration of the bridal car with cast-
off shoes. Rural Dean Sampson o9

WESTFIELD CONGREGATION
MARK GOLDEN JUBILEE
Members of the Westfield United
Church celebrated the golden jubilee
of the opening of the present church
with special services on Stutday. The
congregation dates back to 1854, but
it was not until 1870 the original
church was constructed. The present
building was erected in 1889. West-
field church, was originally named
Hoover's Church, because Adana
Hoover and his family formed the
nucleus of the congregation. During
the history of the present church
only two weddings have been cele -
rated in it, the last in 1917. Rev.
H. C. Wilson is the present minister.
