Yet I feel that you ought to know, ' because it part of your natural heritage; and it may help to eecom- pense you for all that you have been and for all that you have done to make the very word "Mother" like musie in my ears. And so, very simply, I am going to try to express some of the things which Iife has taught me about you. So, to begin. My heart is bubbling up with such a good matter that ut- •terance aught to be as easy as the flowing pen of a ready writer. And yet T scarcely know how to start. First of all, then, T am glad, so very glad, that you did not let love of ease • and comfort make you put aside the claims of Motherhood. Little babies do make such a let of work: they bring anxiety; they.bring responsibility; and when means are small it is hard to scheme, and pinch, and contrive to make the money go round. But you were wise. You knew that if you loved your own particular bent of life too well, you would lose it. You knew that little children open doors; that they widen one's outlook. And so, you sat in Merlin's Chair! .You lost yourself --+and you found that holy, true, and lovely personality which I call "Mother." Then, again, I feel so glad that you were not a rich woman; but that you had to think out ways and means. Be- cause, I fancy this has made you the gentle, sympathizing creature that you are. There was never a poor tramp we. titan who came to the door but you spoke kindly to her, 'and sent her a- way a little happier than she came. You never met a weary mother in tram cm train lent you found oppor- tunity to nurse her baby, or to offer biscuits to her restless toddler. Your tongue did not always speak too such about your Master, but/ am certain that your eyes, your touch, your winsome manner conveyed some- thing of Hint to them. I am glad that you made our clothes; glad that you had to save up pence to get them. - I feel that every stitch you put in- to the small garments expressed your love for the tiny helpless thing thet was coning; that every coin you put aside added something to the big waiting pile et love and tenderness oft er},antr,* jITe.11tk erg.( Gattabiatt OF THE edirar ,P u urtatinn and Life Insurance Companies in Canada. GRANT FLEMI FILTRATION Underneath the lower ribs, on , either side of the back bone, are two bean-shaped organs about the size of the fist, the kidneys. The function of the kidneys is to rid the body of wasteproducts and to regulate the •chemical balance of the blood. -A •disturbance of kidney function means thatthe kidneys, for one reason or . another, are unable to do their part in the excretion of waste, allowing materials to pass which should be retained, thus upsetting the chemical balance of the body. Blood is broughttothe kidneys by s one of the large arteries. - In the kidney, this artery divides into many small branches; and then further sub- divides, until .the smallest size artery, or cappillary is reached. The blood is then passed through one of the four or five million .miscroseopio fi1- `ters which are to be found in the kid- ney, a living filtration plant which removes from the blood the inapuri-. 'ties present in .the: blood -stream as it' reaches the kidney. 'Because of the large number of filters, the kidneys have a tremen- dous reserve, and so are able to carry a heavy load when required. Each day, many gallons are filtered, "but of this. quantity, - only a small percentage appears as urine, because. the kidney hasthe capacity to re- absorb,. 'froth the filtered fluid, wa- ter and anyofthe dissolved minerals -and sugar, which the body needs. It is only waste products and undesired excess of minerals and sugar which • are got rid of, in the urine, by the normal kidney. The proper '.functioning of the 'kidney is upset and, possibly, des- %troy'ed to some extent .by a number, Edited by NG. M.D., Associate Secretary of conditions which affect •the kid- ney, notably nephritis, or Bright's Disease, which occurs in an acute and chronic form. Acute nephritis is usually associa- ted with some infection, such as scarlet fever or tonsilitis, where the germs that are responsible for the in- faction cause an inflammation of the kidneys. There is pallor and puffse ness of the fate, with swelling of the ankles. An 'examination of the ur- ine shows that the kidneys are not functioning properly. Rest in bed, usually for several months, until all inflammation has ceased, no matter how well the patient may feel, to- gether with :a suitable diet, is the basis of treatment. Chronic nephritis in individuals under thirty-five years of age is usually the result of an acute neph- ritis. After thirty-five,' it is most likely an evidence of thickening and. hardening of the arteries throughout the body, and so it is associated with an increased blood -.pressure :and changes in the heart. The kidney condition may be of comparatively small importance, as compared with the changes in other organs. The first' step in treatment is to assess the. condition as it affects the different parts o£ the body. A quiet life, physically and mentally, light, but nourishing diet, and the 'avoid- ance of strain or indulgences, are es- sential. The weakened state of the kidneys is met by demanding less from thein through a regulation of the diet and lessened production of body wastes from physical activities.

And then, the way you trained us! 'Speaking for myself, it was you who first taught me about the Unseen God. You were often very tired, 1 know, but 1 remember bow you told me stories of Joseph, and David, and Elisha, when you were putting me to. bed. Did it not seem too great an effort I wonder, coming at the end of a long working day?- if so, you will like to know that those stories, and your ways of telling them, helped the to under- stand my Almighty Friend. And I am so thankful, dear Mother, that your God was always the Lard of Heaven and Earth and the Friend of men.' If you had made a god of this world, I should have the same. u d v done e If the house had been your god, '1 should almost certainly have fallen down before your deity. For it is al- most inevitable that children will say: "My Mother's God! I will exalt Him!" If only all mothers realized that! I believe that God has a special. golden key which He puts into the hands of mothers. But it is only that they may let Him into their chil- dren's lives. He gives the mother the key, that the little child may be. lieve in God's love, through the warm arms of its ow1i mother. How do I know? Why, because my own, little child said to me only the other day: "How can a little girl love Jesus better than she loves her mo- ther?" I had to explain to her—and it was Care of Children Household Economics through you that,I was enabled to do so—that it is because she ;loves her mother, whom - she has seen, that she can love Jesus wh\in she has not seen. That the -learning how to love is the im- portant thing. And, the loving Him "better" does not tonne to us all at once; it grows, day by day, and week by weeks as we consult with Him and get, to depend upon Him. I have learnt, too,dear mother,, that Mother -Love alone is not enough. Great as it is, self-sacrificing and noble as it may be, it is not sufficient for the wear and tear of child -tram. ing. I know, now, why it was that you had to be alone sometimes. You were perplexed, worried, anx, ious, on the verge of tears; then you would disappear for a time, and when ygu •came .back your brow wasserene and your eyes radiant."

As they were saying to each other, "How shall we roll away the stone?" the earth trembled and shook, and an angel, descending from FIeaven, rolled it back, and then sat resting on it, His countenance was like lightning, and his garments were white as snow; and at sight of him, the men of the guard fainted a, way with fear, as if they were dead. Mary Magdalene saw the stone rolled away, and waiting to see no more, ran to Peter and John whd were coming towardo the place, and said "They have taken away the Lord and we know not where they have laid him!" They immediately ran to the Tomb, but John, being the faster of the two, outran the other, and got there first. He stooped down, and looked in, and saw the linen clothes in which the body had been wrapped, lying there; but he did not go in. When Peter came up, he went in, and saw the linen clothes lying in one place, and a napkin that had been bound about the head, in another. John also went in, then, and saw the same things. Then they went home, to tell the rest, But Mary Magdalene remained outside the sepulchre, weeping. Af- ter ss little time, she stooped down) and looked in, and saw Two angels: clothed in white, sitting where the body of Christ had lain. These said to her, "Woman, why weepest Thou?" She answered, "Because they have taken away any Lord, and I know not where they have laid him." As she gave this answer, she turned round, and saw Jesus stand- ing behind her, but did not then know Him. "Wioman,"" f said 13;0. "Why weepest Thou? what seekest thou?" She, supposing "IIim to be the 'gardener, replied, "Sir! if thou hast borne my Lord hence, tell me where thoubastlaid him, and I will take him away." Jesus pronounced her name "Mary!" Then she knew him, anti starting, exclaimed "Mac- ter!"—"Touch me not," said -Christ; "for I ata not yet ascended to my father; but go to my disciples, and say unto them I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my. God," and to your Godl" Accordingly, Mary ' Magdalene went and told the Disciples that she had seen .Christ, and what Ile had said to her; and with theta she found the other women :whom she had left' at ,the sepulchre when she had gone to call those two disciples, Peter and John. These •women told her and the rest, : that they had seen at the Tomb, two men in shining garments, at sight of whom they had been a- fraid, and had bent dawn,' but who had told them that the Lord Was risen; and also that as they came to tell this, they had seen Christ, on the way, and 'had held him by thr- feet and worshipped Him. But those accounts seemed to the apostles at that time as idle tales, and they did not believe thein. The soldiers of the guard too; when they recovered from their fainting -fit, and went to the chief Priests to tell them what they had seen, were silenced with large sums of money, and were told by them to say that the disciples had stolen the Body away while they were asleep. But it happened that on that same day, Simon and Gteopas- Si - anon one of the twelve apostles, ane Cleopas one of the followers of Christ were walking to a village called Emmaus, at some little dis. tance from Jerusalem, and were talking, by the way, upon the death and resurrection of Christ, when they were joined by a stranger, who ex- plained the Scriptures to them, and told them a great deal about Godt so that they wondered at his know- ledge, As the night was fast coming, on when they reached the village. they asked this stranger to stay with them, which be consented to do. When they all three sat down to supper, he took some bread, and bles- sed it, and broke it, as Christ had done at. the Last Supper, Looking on him in wonder, they found that his face was changed before them, and that it was Christ himself; and as they looked on him, he disappear. ed. They instantly rose up, and re- turned to Jerusalem, and finding the disciples sitting together, told them what they had seen. While they were speaking, Jesus suddenly stood in the midst of all the company, and said "Peace be unto ye!-' Seeing that they were greatly frightened. he showed them his hands and feet. and invited them to touch Him; and, to encourage them and give them tithe to recover themselves, he ate a piece of broiled fish and a piece of honeycomb before them all. But Thomas, ono of the Twelve. Apostles, was notthere, at that. time; and when the vest said to him afterwards, "We have seen the Lord!" he answered "Except I shall seo in his •hands the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believes" At that moment, though the doors were all shut, Jesus again appeared, standing' among thane and said "Peace be •un to you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Reach hither thy finger, and 'behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing." And Thomas answered, and said to Hint, "My Lord and nay God!" - Then said Jesus, "Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou -hast {relieved. Bles- sed are they that have not seen me, andyet have believed."

Ontario Salad Week had the hearty endorsement and co-operation of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and of the Ontario Grower's Markets Council. Fruit and vegetable 'deal- ers, both- wholesaler and retail, were joining in, planning displays of local green vegetables and various salad accessories, also advertising Salad Week to their customers. Ontario -grown hothouse ' tomatoes and cucumbers, also shared in the displays. Dominion Day picnickers were urged to include the old-fashioned salad bowl in their preparations, for with a supply of fresh vegetables and prepared dressing, it easy to pre- pare a crisp, tasty salad right when the sandwiches are unpacked. The habit of serving salads frequently is one which every housewife might well cultivate. They are wholesome, appetizing in warm weather, and are also an economical dish, when made from our own vegetables. * * * * * * * * OUR RECIPE FOR TODAY Baking Whole Fish Fish weighing 3 to 6 pounds.

The patient toiler, Nature, aeons past Smoothed with her glacial trowel yonder spot, And, after•all these busy years, at last ' Beholds the prize her laboring has brought; She toils a thousand ages for a flower That blooms and dies within the self- same hour. —S.

GARDEN Here in this garden have you wrought with God, Isere have you wrought with lave and caused to dwell With us a little while, and cast their spell, , The ;flowers that in the south winds sway and nod; Here have you stooped to place a tender seed, Here have you touched the ground with your white hand, And Beauty comes as by Divine command Togive our days the color that they need. Because you stirred the garden to a dream That thrills my spirit when: the day is 'done, Because, you gave the modest flow- ers the gleam Of your own quiet soul, Beloved 'One, I find in every day a new caress That makes me know the more your loveliness. - -Edward F.

Tender pearl clouds are etched as with sheen— Dark pine on the hill, fair birth on the slope Are standing, so still, yet with quiv- 'ring hope For the murmurous touch of the painter unseen. Silvery pools of clear morning mist Rise from the valley an incense dis vine Bearing the scent of the birch and the pine, Dissolving like bubbles, when by the sun kiss'd. Winds from the lake caress the grey sky, The Pearl of the East makes a rift in the veil; The meadow, the mist, the hill and the dale Greet the bright day with a rapturous sigh.—P.M,F.
