DISAPPOINTIVIENT I WONDER Disappointment, His appointment, • Change one letter then I see That the thwarting of my purpose Is God's better choice for me. His appointment must mean bless- ing Though it may come in disguise, For the end from the beginning Open to His wisdom lies. Disappointment, His Appointment, No good thing will He withhold, From denials oft we gather Treasures of His love untold. Well He knows each broken pur- pose Leads to fuller,; deeper trust, And the end of all His dealings, Proves our God is wise and just. I wonder if Christ had a little white dog, All curly and woolly like mine; And two long. silky ears and a nose round'and-wet, And two eyes, brown and tender that shine. I am sure if He had, that little white dog Knew right from the start, He was God; That he needed no proof that Christ was Divine, And just worshipped the ground where He trod. I'm afraid that He hadn't, because I have read How He prayed in the garden, alone; —Contributed. For all of His friends and disciples had fled Even Peter, the one called a stone. And oh, I am sure, that little white dog, • With a heart so tender and warm, Would never have left Him to suffer alone, But creeping right under His aim. Would have licked the dear fingers in agony clasped And counting all favors but lost; When they took Him away, would have trotted behind, And followed Him right to the Cross. TWO WORDS One day a harsh word said Upon an evil journey sped, And like a sharp and cruel dart It pierced a fond and loving heart— It turned a friend into a foe, And everywhere brought pain and woe. • A. kind word followed it one day— Flew swiftly on its blessed way; It healed the wound; it soothed the pain, Andfriendsof old are friends again; It made the hate and anger cease, . And everywhere brought joy aud peace. THE MOTOR FLEETS But yet the harsh word left a trace The kind word could not quite efface, And though the heart its love re- gained It bore a scar that long remained, Friends could forgive, but not forget, Or lose the sense of keen regret. Oh, if we could learn to know How swift and sure one word can go, How would we weigh ,with utmost care Eachthought before it sought the air, And only speak the words that move Like white -winged messengers of love) Inland, and far from sea or falling share And far from coastline surges' break and roar 1We mark among the hills, festooned in light, 'And feel the tough ground tremble to the door, ' The passing of the merchantmen of night The hour just short of three, with morning near, Red light and green, port light and starboard clear, They take the rising wood slope drugged with dawn, Hiss down the welling silence, and are gone, A distant surf pounds backward to the ear.

WHO HAS FAILED? . "IT'S YOU" If YOU want to work in the Kind of a Church Like the ldnd of a Church you like, Yoti needn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left.hebind, For there's nothing that's really new; It's 'a knock at yourself when you knock your Church; It isn't your Church—it's YOU. Real Churches aren't made by men ,afraid Lestsomebody else go ahead; .' When; everyone- works and nobody shirks, . You can raise a Church from the dead. And if ,while you make your personal stake, . Your neighbour can make one, too-, Your Chtirch will 'be what you want to see It 'isn't your 'Church, it's YOU.! —Rev, 0. L. Miller, D'.D, The Signifieauce of Triiles By "PEG' The following recorded fact is al- are we that we should presume • to most incredible. In the physics class turn our backs • on someone who has gone contrary to God's law. It is only by the Grace of God that we are not in the same position in which they are,- no matter what the sin they have committed. Christ would strive to win, them back, and we as co-workers with Him have the priv- ilege of so doing. A word, a look, an action may be the trifle which will turn our life or someone else's to the way of God. What we are doing may, in our sight, be trifles, and in the eyes of the world insignificant, but with 1 God's help it may the means of our own salvation and that of many others. ' "The memory of a kindly word Not long gone by, The fragrance of a fading flower Scent lovingly, The gleaming of a sudden senile Or sudden tear, The warmer pressure of the hand, The tone of cheer; The hush that means, `I cannot speak But I have heard" The note that only bears a verse From God's own word— Such tiny things we hardly count A ministry, The givers deeming they have shown Scant sympathy; But when the- heart is over wrought Ah, who can tell, The power of just these little things To make it well. room of a university the professor had' an iron beam suspended from the ceiling. During the class period he took small pellets of paper and threw them at the motionless iron rod. At the outset it seemed a ridic- ulous experiment but before very long the rod began to vibrate and gradually it could be quite distinctly seen swinging, This all started with the contact of a little rolled up piece of paper with an iron bar—in other words, just ,one trifle after, another. We night say our lives are made up in just the same way, one appar- ently unimportant - thing following another. ' Medicalscience front time to time, proves that some of the most out -1 standing discoveries in medicine and surgery are the result of the unex-I petted unfoldingof seemingly insig- nificant experiments. At the close of the day if we re- view our aetione we can plainly see, how some little incident, that we had not planned had changed the whole' course .of the hours, in fact in many) oases of our whole life, Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, probably one of the greatest soul savers of then age, was converted through' the guid- ance of a layman. A storm kept hint from getting to a larger church but this interference by nature was responsible for him giving his heart to God. Sometimes a friend remembers us by a visit, a letter or a gift. It is an insignificant thing to say "Thank you" and yet how often that trifle is forgotten, A post master in one of the large cities remarked after the Christmas season that prior to the great day thousands of letters had gone through the snail to that dear old patron Santa Claus, but following the old gentleman's visit, just one letter was forwarded to Santa Claus to thank him for, in mast cases, an abundant reply to a letter. There is a great laxity on the part of parents when a child is not taught to be appreciative of what is done for him or her and an occasion is allowed to pass where thanks is due and is not rendered. Not all of us have money to help those in need, but there are very few who have not the power to make some . one else's life happier. We must remember that -we are not the only ones experiencing trouble or perplexity. Are we just as willing as we should be to lay aside our work, if need be, and go to the as- sistance of some one else? In this way we niay be led to forget our own difficulties. Perhaps from time to time we of- fer only our sympathy to some one who is passing through trial or sor- row when it may be there is some- thing snore tangible we could do. We are prone to say "well, that's too bad" and let it go at that. We can et least do one thing, we can get down on our knees, and ask God to lift the burden from that troubled heart. ' A. very applicable story of trifles, states.. that for sore years all that remained of the Olimpean Zeus were a few Corinthian pillars. These were regarded by the Athenians with the utmost reverence and everything that could be done to preserve them was done. One morning they, awakened to find one of them lying on the ground, scattered and broken.' There had been no storm over the city during the night to account for the downfall, but examination re-' voided that a 'colony of ants had found a small crevice in the pillar,' had forced an entrance and gradually eaten the cement. So often trifles creep into our characters; evil thoughts and bad habits work into' our lives. They u;idern nine the spiritual props. They take away our desire for communion, with God. Then when temptation coiner to us, we do not even turn to Jesus Christ for ,help'. We try to fight alone. The devil has the up- per hand of ns and we go down. Those who are doing Social Ser- vice; and welfare work among the poor and :fallen tell of how atom° kind word, a smile, or personal inter- est in a fallen man or woman will bring them back to the straight -and' narrow path.There are Big Sister and Big Brother movements where men and women have an oversight af. the childen and youth of our country and where these future citi- zens- are thereafter led to carry on very beautiful and useful lives.

What COLOR WHEN DINING AIDS THE APPETITE It is a well-known psychological fact that colour encourages the ap- petite, and conversely an artistil�ally arranged plate dinner may be one of ,the most acceptable meals. Colour should be considered first, then tex- ture; flavour and nutritive value are sure to follow for if vegetables look attractive and taste good, they must have been properly cooked. Try such combinations as the fol- lowing: Baked potato, buttered spinach, escalloped tomato, celery curls 1 (use fresh or canned vegetables) I Creamed asparagus on toast, I grated raw carrot, potato 'puffs, 1 peas. Cauliflower with cheese sauce, carrot slices, green beans, riced potatoes. - ' Escalloped potatoes, buttered beets, succotash, cabbage salad. Baked stuffed onions, mashed turnips, creamed peas and mush- rooms in patty cakes, watercress, To keep colour of red vegetables cook in water slightly acidulated by adding 1 teaspoon vinegar to 1 pint water. This also improves texture, and while one might wonder at the phrase "keeping the color" of white vegetables, the same method prevents that brown tint' sometimes acquired_ by celery, turnips and onions. Cook yellow vegetables in as little water as possible, with salt added during cooking. Over -cooking ruins - all vegetables. The pamphlet "Vegetables f or• Every Day" which may be obtained from the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, gives further information on Canadian vegetables.

CARE OF CHILDREN Tested j Recipes TEMPTING THE SUMMER PALATE How often during the summer one hears such expressions as "I'm no hungry, I haven't any appetite in h weather:" It is natural that ther is neither the ,desire nor the need for much heavy, fat food at thi season of the year but at the darn time enough of the right kinds foods should be eaten to keep a pe son physically fit. With so 'ma Canadian fresh fruits and vegetable on the market during the sumo months the problem of desserts, sal ads and accompaniments to the mea course are easily solved. With meats fish orpoultryas the basis for din ner they. may be ',served cold to stu the summer palate. Cold roast lamb cold- baked ham. or cold meat Io served with fresh well -cooked ve etables are delicious. Eggs are als a good summer food. Scramble eggs or `omelettes are not too.heav for summer fare and, if preferred hard -cooked eggs may be combine with fresh vegetables to make an inviting and satisfying supper o lunoheon main course. Cheese, in' eluding cream and cottage cheere, is another food which may be serve often during hot weather. Nourish ing, and at tie same -time third quenching, well -chilled drinks a popular in summer and frozen des serts including ice creams and sher bets are also in general favour. t of e s e o r ay s er t of g'- 0 d y a r d t re.
