I have tried to bring them up properly, but hots can I, when he goes on like this? We've been mar- ried 14 years; and I love him dearly, and want us to stay together, especi- ally because of our family, When he is sober, he says he loves me too. GO HOME? "I would be welcome back home with the children to live with my parents,ebut I'm not sure enough. He doesn't think 1 ever would leave him.

Is it now considered proper for one to light one's own cigar- ette before that of a companion, so as to avoid the taste of sulphur In that person's cigarette? A.

R. Barclay Warren THE FIGHT FOR CHRISTIAN FREEDOM Acts 15: 1-6, 22-29; Gal. 2: 16 Golden Text: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not, entangled again with the yoke of bondage--. Gal. 5:1, What we learn in childhood, sticks. The customs of childhood tend to gather a halo about them, which in later life we come to re- vere, So, with many of the Jews who became Christians, it was diffi- cult to turn aside from the ceremon- ial laws of Moses. Paul was a notable exception. He saw with per- fect clearness the relation of the law to the gospel of Christ. To the Galatians who were beginning to trust in their works to save then, he wrote, "Before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed, Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we night be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under the schoolmaster," Gal. 3: 23-25, Once Sadhu Sunder Singh enter- ed into conversation with a Hindu "holy -man" lying on a bed of spikes. For eighteen months the Hindu had been torturing his body that he night crush the desires of self. He admitted, "I have not yet gained my Object, nor is it possible to do so in so short a time. Malty years, and indeed many births, will be necessary to accomplish it." Sun- der Singh reasoned -with hint and testified as to how he had found deliverance and peace in an instant, but the other man replied, " I can never admit that salvation can be obtained as a gift, and in one short life." We can do nothing to merit salva- tion. Joining the church, paying money, trying to live a moral life; none of these will bring God's peace to the soul. We are saved by faith and faith alone, It is not what we can do but faith in what Jesus has done. "Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe— Sin has left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow." t?f& RONTC4--LES Orei z $NGER A M We had a houseful again this week -end and the fun and chatter that went on was a welcome change from a week of considering prob. lens that were concerned only with falling farm prices and the eccen- tricities of the weather. Daughter was home and in great forum—quite well pleased with her housing venture, but still wondering - how sire can cope with the various things that need to be done—all of which cost money. But, as she says, even if she doesn't make a fortune, at least she has a comfortable home. The young couple, friends of Daughter's, who occupy the ground floor rooms have been helping with some of the decorating. "Just wait until you see my Babble Room," says Daughter, "It's sw'ell." "Rubble Room," 1 echoed in be- wildered surprise. "Yes, that's what we call it," laughed Daughter. "You see, we got a bargain price on some real good wallpaper but when it came to put- ting it on, it was so heavy that it woulcht't !told the paste properly. So, because of the various places where the paper didn't stick, the called it 'The Bubble Roost„' Electric wiring has been another of her worries. The house, being old, has insufficient circuits. "So," said Daughter, "until I discovered the trouble, we spent most of our time blowing fuses." Partner has already nicknamed her "the Land- lady" and before starting back on her trip to Toronto yesterday, Daughter proved tate title was well deserved. It so happened the wind had got up, and it was also getting quite a bit colder, "Olm, the dicker^t" says Daughter, as an extra hciy gust hit our house, "I hope that wind dies down—it's going to be hard on my oil furnace!" What a lot more interest a person takes in the most ordinary everyday affairs of life, if he, or she, has to foot the - bill! Joy was also here and her big worry was making out an annual report to the Board regarding her nursing activities—and anyone who has dealt with annual reports knows whal a hetultu'he they can be. "Chen 'Johnny t.;,nip in for Sunday dinner and. his hitt pruhlein was whetha' of not to head for the West again in time for storing seeding. Partner and I have our problems too --major and minor. '11* trouble is one cannot always be stu'e which are major and which are minor, Minor problems very easily hemline major, whereas it is possible that major problems have Leconte major only because we are all at little in - 01410 to make mountains out of molehills. Now if the typesetter gets all that straight, I hope you can figure out what I mean, I imagine quite a lot of mountains and Molehills will be given an air- ing at the annual meeting of the Federation of Agriculture being - held its Niagara Faalls this week. Apropos of that gathering, I like the headline to Lotta Dempsey's column today—"You can't tell an editor from a farmer at the Falls." After all, what, does au editor', or a farmer, look like?' I am not going to stilt my neck out by giv- ing you my idea of a typical editor, but I do know that some folks' idea of a typical farther is a man in overalls, pant legs rolled over rub- ber boots; wearing a smock or windbreaker; cap pulled down over his ears and a beard admittedly a little ou the fuzzy side. Yes, and you can find this- type in any small town in an agricultural area, be- cause naturally, each man must dress according to his trade or pro- fession. If the farmer had to shave and change his clothes before going to town. — and then change back again before starting his chores or going out to the field, then he would sure lose a lot of time. But when the farmer is through WWI 104 Burk fol• ttu• day and iuV, toads going out: or e':. , husittee* or plc.:, sure takes him to the cityQ then, as l.otfa 1Jclnpsev r'tys-•-r'1'Ott can't tell 00 editor from 0 farntet" --the editor also having sited hid workday clothes, and [riven his ink stained fingers a bit of extra scrub- bing. We ileed to be careful its our ase of the word -"typical." I remember getting into trouble once by saying that ao unknown visitor had the ap- pearance. of a "typical insurattee agentl" Many women are subject to weak, aching back. Often the kidneys are to blame, for your kidneys, along with the. liver, must filter out am, purities from the bloodstream. So if you feel tired, worn-out, head= achy—with the nagging painof an achmg hack—look to both your kid- neys and liver. That's why Cana- dians . have been relying on 1)r.
