Pregnancy oc- casionally brings the - expectant mo- ther into danger. There are accidents of pregnancy just as there are street accidents. In general, accidents may be prevented; 'if the expectant mother takes reasonable care to safeguard. herself and her child from the acci- dents of pregnancy, she has no rea- son to be fearful. Too many women have: a miserable pregnancy, because they have listen- ed to a lot of silly stories told by superstitious neighbors who seem to delight in stirring up worry ` in the minds of other women about preg- nancy. There is absolutely no basis in fact that a child can be marked or stiffer a physical change because the mother has seen some unpleasant sight, . or experienced some undesir- able sensation. The first step which every expect- ant : mother should take to safeguard herselfand her child is to secure pre- natal care during the whole period of her pregnancy. Such care is in the nature of providing for the earliest detection of any abnormal condition and its prompt correction before any harm results. Through such care, advice as to 'diet, rest, clothing and other similar matters is received. When such ad- vice is followed, the mother will . en- joy a :more comfortable pregnancy, an easier delivery, and her child will be healthier, To bring a child into the world as a normal process for a woman to go through. To do it with a minimum of discomfort and danger, however, it is .necessary that she adjust her life to the unusual and extra demands which are placed upon her during this period. It is nota question of being fearful; it is a matter of using common-sense to realize that there are special demands at this time which must receive attention. In"addition topre-natal supervision it is necessary, in order to avoid any other dangers, that proper care be provided at the time of confinement. This means that the services of a phy- sician and a nurse which,bring to the mother the proper precautions taken by skilled attendants to protect her and her child, : should be available. Pre -natal care, together with care at confinement, assures •the healthy woman that she will go through preg- nancy with a minimum of discomfort and; a maximum of safety.

Building House' a Sample of Epery Object that Elea Its Homo Within .Our Territory Attractive and Instructive. Dr. Charles Wesel, L,L'.D., P,R. G.S„ Deputy Minister, Department of Mines, Ottawa, addressing the Pro- fessional Civil Servants of Canada and their friends recently said in re- gard to the National Museum of Can- ada: "I would like you, for a few min- utes, to share with me a vision that has gripped the minds of some of us during the last few years. Looking ahead forty or fifty years we see Can- ada the home of a strong and pres- perous people with twice or thrice the population It possesses to -day. Mont- real, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancou- ver are great oentres of world com- merce, known to every school oiled in lilurope as well as in America. Ot- tawa remains the political heart of Canada, a city unequalled on this continent for the beauty o't its sur- roundings and the dignity of its pub- lic buildings. It is the pride of Can- ada and the admiration of all Amer- ica, a capital city worthy of the pros- perous and progressive nation that holds a leading place among the na- tionsof the world. "Here within this'cityof Ottawa,. the capital 'of Canada, we see, amid other structures, a large and -splendid building containing insideits walls a picture in minature of the country's wealth and natural resources. We see a National Museum of Canada, a mu- seum—that houses samples of every rock and mineral, every animal, bird and fish, every seed and plant, and. every variety of timber, that can be found on Canadian soil or in Cana- dian waters from Nova Scotia to Brit- ish Columbia and from the Interna- tional boundary to the Arctic islands; a sample of every object that has its home within our territory and contri- butes to its prosperity and beauty. This National Museum is a treasure house ' of our national wealth, a monument of our national achieve- ments, and an .educational and re- search institution that proclaims ou r. natural resources and investigates some of our national problems. Everything that early explorers set their eyes upon is represented there —Indians, clad in fur robes and arm- ed with war -clubs' or with bows and arrows; the buffalo, the beaver and the various bears; rare flowers from the Rocky Mountains, fine timbers from. the British Columbia coast, and nuggets of gold and silver from the different provinces and manes. Here, too, is every natural object that con- oerns the farmer; types of soil and their special qualities, different varie- ties of wheat and methods of combat- ing their diseases, all the fruits and vegetables and the ways of control- ling their insect pests. The prospec- tor, the miner and the geologist find in this museum every rock and ore that exists in the Dominion, with il- lustrations of their uses and samples of all the products we derive from them.. The fisherman sees specimens of every fish, the methods of captur- ing them and of preparing them for the market. The lumberman sees his timber in every stage of growth, and learns how to fight the beetles that ravage his standing trees. It is a great museum illustrating the nat- ural history of the whole of Canada, a museum that ranks beside the sim- ilar museums in New York and Washington, in London, Paris, Berlin ""'and the capital cities of all the great- est countries in Europe and America. "Yet it is not a dead museum, full of dry bones, stuffed animals and rocks covered with the dust flung up by passing motor -cars. Everything within its walls is both attractive and instructive. The children who crowd its doors from mere curiosity learn something unconsciously, the tired business man goes away refreshed and informed, the critical foreigner receives new impressions of the greatness of Canada and its natural wealth. There is a special staff to answer : enquiries, to deliver ad- dresses on Canada's resources, and to send out information to every\ part of the country. Manufacturers visit or write to the museum for ideas that they can use in their business; in- dustrialists to find out our resources in coal. Cities and towns obtain help in building up local museums in all the provinces and schools from Hali- fax and Quebec to Vancouver borrow motion pictures that teach our chil- dren the geography of Canada, its, plants and animals, its mines and Its water -powers. Then there is a re- search staff that studies the history and the problems of the country, that co-operates with other Government Departments and with universities and museums throughout the world, and that increases the fame of Can- ada as a home of science and learning. "This is our vision, and already the Dominion Government has takee. the first steps towards its realization. It has established in Ottawa the foun- dations of a National Museum, given it a building large enough for the next few years, equipped it with a entail but active, staff, and allotted a small sum of money each year for its maintenance. The advancement of this institution, the expansion of it into a great museum portraying the resources of the entire country and the achievements of its people, this it htys squarely on the shoulders of the people of Canada themselves. It looks for the support and assistance of every citizen, from the leaders in the financial and commercial world 'to the laborer on the farm and the workman in the mill. For a national' reaseum belongs to the entire coun- try, and, like the great lViueeutns in London and in Paris, registers the progress and civilization of that country in the eyes of other nations. So 1 would ask you to -night to share our vision, and to join with us in striving to make it a reality, in build- ing up in Ottawa, the Capital of the Dominion, a National Museum wor- thy of. Canada'u rank ataong the nations." DI0��A DOS HOMES S Night Thousand Children lifi� England Getting Their Big Start In Lite, Every year those who carry en the splendid work --'the rescue gad care of destitute children—launched by that great-hearted man, Dr. Bernar- do, are laced with the problem of equipping Barnardo boys and girls, when their schooldays are finished, to take their places it the world. There are some 8,000 et them. How is it done? Yesterday, writes a Tit -Bits man, I spent a day of discovery. First I went to "Goldings," near Hertford, where three hundred Barnardo boys between fourteen and sixteen have their home. "Golding'," with its spacious pan- elled rooms, its lawns, terraces, grounds, and gardens, could be rank- ed as 'ons of England's "stately homes." Thane who acquired it had vision. Environment counts for so much in the formation of character. These lads—each was onoo a desti- tute wait—respond to their sur- roundings. They come to "Goldings" when their normal schooling is finished, and the rsldent piaster, with insight born of a.af experience, examines each in, ; gauged his mental attain- ments, end reports to the Governor him suitability for this or that trade. The range of trades taught is wide. 'A lad can become a boot and shoe maker and repairer,a carpenter and joiner, a printer, an engineer, a tinsmith or metal worker, a wheel- wright, s bisoksmith, or a gardener. The . instructors are practical men of long experience and skill—chosen not only for that and their teaching pow- ers, but for their personal characters. They all have the Barnardo spirit of human sympathy.' In the . gardens other boys were be- ing taught gardening craft. Most or the boys at "Goldings" have been selected for manual trades; those who show an aptitude for art, music, or something more intricate than work in the "shops" are not sent there. But theorganist is a Barnar- do boy, and he also plays the piano and violin. All the boys in the homes are carefully studied by the medical department, and any special gifts are encouraged. What struck me was the manifest happiness, contentment, and eager - nese of the lads. And how could they be otherwise? Apart from their feel- ing of security, and the knowledge that they are learning craftsmanship, they have much else at their school - home at "Goldings"—a swimming pool, a big gymnasium, a concert hall, a cinema, two bands, a recreation room, a wireless club, a tuck -shop (the boys get pocket -money), cricket, football, excellent food, and a fine library. They have, too, .a magazine written by themselves. Excellent, you will admit, but what when they have finished their training? The period varies, of. course, but for each lad the com- mittee finds a position. Lodgings, too. It is nota case of "Good-bye; we have done our best for you, and we hope you will now do well." Touch is kept with every boy; if he is not happy in his job another is found for him until he is settled. He can, if need be, come back to "Golding, —his home. Many do—for week -ends and holidays. Ninety-eight per cent. of the lads make good. An etnpioyer who has had one Barnardo boy always asks for others. Not because they are cheap the proper Union wages is paid -but because they aretrained workers and reliable. From "Geldings" I went on to the Boys' Garden City at Woodford Bridge. Here boys stay till they are fourteen. They live in separate houses. There are club rooms, libraries, big playing fields. The only trade taught at Woodford Bridge is that of baking bread and pastry -making. Boys bake 800 quartern loaves every day! From the Woodford Bridge Gar- den City I went on to the Girls' Vil- lage Home at Barkingside, where 1,400 Barnardo children, from in- fants to girls of fifteen, have their City, with delightful house -homes for home. Barkingside is another Garden City with delightful house homes for the girls. All are taught domestic work, and laundering, in all its branches. In the laundry 28,000 ar- ticles are washed every week for the homes. Many of the girls, fully train- ed, go out as domestic servants. The most searching inquiries are made first — to ensure the girls a happy home. Others get posts in laundries or as children'.: nurses. Here, as at "Goldings," careful vocational judgment 18 made. Many of the girls are thus trained to be- come shorthand -typists. Those wait- ed for the rough and tumble of life are taught embroidery, knitting, and so on, Touch is kept with the girls wherever they go. One Barnardo girl is now a Sister in a London hospital; another is a medical missionary in an Eastern hospital and speaks several languages. Another, in America, is inaking a name for herself as a gift- ed writer. Many have wonscholar- ships and become qualified teachers. All the lads from "Goldings" have made good, done well, and are now independent. Prefers Parrots to Society. The Marquess of Tavistock, who stated some time ago that society life, had no pleasures to offer him, is the. possessor of the world's most magni- feent collection of parrots, Collector in all parts of the world send speci- mens to his great aviaries at Warb- lington, Havant. Lord 'Tavistock owns s^irae parrots that are nearly one hundred years old, and one of his choicest treasure Is a Lutine blue - fronted Amason which is regarded as. a freak of nature: Its body is a rich golden. yellow, while it has a white forehead and red and white wings.

What can I want or need He leads me to the tender grass,. Where I both feed and rest. Then to the streams that gently pass; In both I have the best. Or if I stray, He doth convert, And bring my mind in frame, And all this not for my desert, But for His holy name. Yea, in death's shady black abode Well may 1 walk, nor fear; For Thou art with me, and Thy rod To guard, Thy staff to bear. Surely Thy sweet and wondrous love Shall measure all my days; And as it never shall remove So neither shall my praise. The above version of David's "Shepherd Psalm” is the oldest in our present day hymnbooks, "The Book of Common Prayer” has an older En- glish version, but that is in Hebraic, two parts to an uiirhynied verse form, taken from the Bishop's Bible: which was issued in 1492. The Reverend George Herbert's .hymn reproduced above was printed after his death in 1633, and was writ- ten some years previously while in- valided through weakness. A member of the renowned family of the Earl of Pembroke his elder brother being the celebrated philoso- pher Lord Herbert of Cherbury, George. Herbuert born in 1593 was intended for life at the royal court or in the diplomatic corps. But the death of his sovereign King James and soon after of his two patrons, the Duke of Richmond and the Marquis of Hamilton darkened his prospects and he gave up all hopes of being able to use his talents acceptably at Court. He had been a Westminster School boy and a graduate with high honors at Trinity College, Cambridge, and his manners and abilities made him a favorite with the great Lord Bacon, the well known Dr. Donne, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon- don, leader of his day in poetry, the devout and learned Bishop Andrews and of lz;tak Walton who wrote his biography along with that of others, in a volume which has been a treas- ured classic ever since. After some delays and much con- templation he trained for and was ad- mitted to the sacred ininist:ry becom- ing Rector o£ Leighton 3rorrswoid in 1626. Soon, after he was appointed i?rebendary of Lincoln, but three years later was obliged by an attack or ague to lay by for a time.In 1630 he became Rector of l3enverton where his saintly disposition made him a general favorite and his writings and sermons gave him much renown. George Herbert was a good music- ian and set many of his quaint songs and hymns to music, he and a friend, the Reverend Nicholas Ferran spent their spare hours in sacred song to the accompaniment of George Her- bert's viol. This Nicholas Ferrar was a noteworthy man also; a scholar, traveller, member of Parliament, and a Deacon in the Church of England, he bought a"lordshipp of the Manor" in Little Gidding, rnoved all his rela- tives, forty of them, to his mansion where the time was spent in holy meditation and pious deeds. Readers. of "John Inglesant;" will remember a, description of the community in the fourth chapter of that well known book. Just before he died in 1632 Mr. Herbert sent to this friend a manu- script copy of, his poems' with the words: "I pray deliver this little book to my dear brother Ferrer," and tell him• he shall find in it a picture of the many spiritual conflicts that have passed betwixt God and my soul; in whose service 1' have now found per- fect freedom. Desire him to read it: and then if he think it may turn to the advantage of any poor, dejected soul, let it be made public; if not let hint burn it, for I and it are less than the least of God's 'mercies." Mr. Ferrer,. ' himself a Christian poet and moralist, published the poems under the title "The Temple" and the book won George Herbert a firm place among British poets, and is a favorite volume of sacred poetry to this day among those of sufficent cultivation to enjoy its staunchly Christian and Churchly contents. There is a rather well known pic- ture by the Royal Academy painter, Cooper, which shows George Her- bert's tall slim, form on Salisbury Plain, his coat laid aside assisting a man to unload a poor hors -e which had collapsed under too heavy n log41- After getting the jaded animal to its feet and arranging the load more ev- erily, Mr. Herbert gave the man anon., ey to refresh himself and his beast1 and sent him on his way with the ad- monition, that, "if he 'loured himself � he shorkl be merciful to his beast], The pictured incident is characteristic of thekind-hearted lovable Rector of l3enl.er.ton, who often walked several miles to Salisbury Cathedral just to sit there, listen to ane of the daily services, and to commune with his God. Besides our hymn there are in use today five or six others includnig "Let all the world in every corner sing," "Teach' me my God and King" and: "Sweet day so cool, so calm." John and Charles Wesley used forty of them in their hymnal of 1739, entitled, "Hymns and Sacred Poems" but their followers, Modern Methodists,. have discarded all of them. Herbert's version of the Twenty- third Psalm originally in sixverses is sweet and touching with traces in it of his scholarship and true poetic spirit, and with much of the old fash- ioned quaintness which we associate with that period of history in which, he wrote. Probably it was from Herbert that the Reverend Sir Henry W. Baker derived the idea of his lovely version of the same Psalm "The King of love my Shepherd is." But it should not !escape notice that whereas the form- ler orm ler poet conspires with David God the Creator,. the Jewish God to be the. Shepherd, Sir Henry taking our Bles- sed Lord's words for it: "I am the Good Shepherd" transfers the whole notion of the Psalm to our Saviour Jesus Christ and turns it into a real- ly Christian hymn. Both poets are quite right although their conceptions, differ, paradoxical though the express may appear. The tune University if sung very softly, but not too slowly will be found to fit George Herbert's words as though it had been written for it,. althought not composed until about the middle of the next century by John Randall who died in England, living from 1715 to 1790, Pass the Towel Each Customer Washed Individual.
