GREER The Good Shoe Stoie Wingham, Ontario cc - s Hold Thou my hand; so weak 1 am, and 'helpless, I dare not take one step without Thy aid; Hold Thou my hand; for then, 0 lov- ing Saviour, No dread of ill shall make my soul afraid. Hold Thou my hand, and closer, clos- er draw me To Thy dear self—my hope, my joy, my all: Bold Thou my hand, lest haply I should wander, And, missing Thee, my trembling feet should fall. Hold Thou my hand; the way is dark before me Without the sunlight of Thy face divine; But when by faith I catch its radiant glory, What heights of joy, what raptur- ous songs, are mine 1 Hold Thou my hand, that when I reach the margin Of that lone river Thou didst cross for me, A heavenly light may flash along its waters, And every wave like crystal bright shall be. This is by no means one of the best known of the very numerous hymns written by "Fanny J. Crosby," as Mrs. VanAlstyne still styled herself after her marriage. Nor is it by any means the leastworthy of praise and •gen- erai acceptance, On the contrary, for general sentiment and poetic value it compares very favorably with the ma- jority of hymns in common use, No doubt it labors under the fault John Wesley found in his brother's hymn, "Jesul Lover of My Sou)," that it pushes its singers into very close, very familiar intimacy with the Lord God of Hosts, and is of a decidedly sentimental character! But surely not more so than does the universally po- pular: "Lead kindly Light, amidthe encirc ling gloom, Lead Thou the on; The night is dark, and I 'am far from home, Lead Thou me on, Keep thou my feet; .I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me." Both Cardinal ,Newman's grand hymn and this simple little bit of ver- se by the blind United States hymn and song writer have the same idea of being held and led by divine Provinen- ce.. And both are, of course, founded strongly upon inspired teaching, the text especially prominent in the mind of the writers being no doubt: "I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not, I will help Thee." . Perhaps in Fanny Crosby's mind there was also a remembrance of Si- mon Peter's attempt to walk on the water of the Sea of Gaiitee, and when he began to sink, ct Jesus Christ's stretching, forth His hard and catch- ing the one of little faith at the mo- ment of danger.

' Our hymn represents an- e:Ler phase of tite sauce idea of se - I curity in the prt Bence and never -fail- ing help of the Saviour Christ, and is of a higher type of poetic writing, though the metre employed is not so singable, the first and third lines of each verse 'having eleven syllables in- stead of ten as in such hymns as "A- bide with Me," and "Saviour Again to Thy Dear Name We Raise," for in- stance. "Hold Thou my Hand," however, deserves a wider popularity than it has yet achieved, and with a more "catchy" tune than it has found so far will doubtless make its way into all the important hymnals. Mrs. Van Alstyne or Fanny Crosby it will' be remembered died in 1915 at the grand olf age of ninety-two.

Ring George was the first i3ritisb" monarch to have England's naval power emphasized on the Great Seal, The Protectorate Parliament showed the navy in full sail down. the Chan- nel, this forming part of a ;most orig- inal design—on the one side a map of England and Ireland powdered with; names and guarded by the fleet, and on the other the Hpuse of Com- mons in full session with serious as- pect and bored clerks. The Commonwealth's first Seal was produced in a hurry. On Janu- ary 26t1t, 1649, it was decided that "Thomas Symons be hereby authoriz- ed to engrave a Seal. ." Twelve days later the old Seal was broken up in the House of Commons by a smith and the commissioners receiv- ed the• pieces as their perquisite. When, with a pointed hammer, the King removes all virtue from the present Seal, the Lord Chancellor will become its possessor. The safe keeping of the Seal is a heavy responsibility in more senses than one. Richard L's Vice -Chan- cellor slipped overboard at Cyprus with it slung round his neck; neither he nor the Seal was seen again. Lord Eldon, realizing his respons- ibility when aroused from sleep by a cry of "Fire!" rushed downstairs and buried the' Seal under some loose mould and then turned to "a very pretty sight, for ail the maids had turned out of their beds" and form- ed a line to hand water -buckets along from a pond to the fire -engine. When the fire came under control he went back to bed, and could not remember on rising where he had put the Seal. So he made the whole family search till it was found. TALL MEN HANDICAPPED. London Bus Company Finds Too Many Inches Useless. Individuals of small stature are in demand for bus conductors in Lon- don, says the Christian Science Mon- itor. A six-foot former guardsman with an excellent record who applied for employment was told the maxi- mum height allowed was 5 feet 9 inches. Hundreds of similar eases have to be refused by the London General Omnibus Company every year," said an official in an interview. "It would be almost cruelty to put a six-foot man on a bus all day, espe- cially on a covered -top bus. He would have to stoop continually, "New drivers must be between the ages of 26 and 36, conductors be- tween 24 and 35. Both must have a high standard of physique and fit- ness. it ness. Drivers must not be under 6 feet 7 inches in height or over 5 feet 11 inches, and the conductors must not be under 5 feet 6 inches or over 6 feet 9 inches. 'We have many public school and university men applying for jobs. That we have many well-educated with us as conductors and drivers was shown when he looked for interpre- ters speaking five languages and found them." Shoe and Skirt Secrets. The effect of wearing improper shoes is to throw the body back- wards and displace the weight line forward, while the posture tends to become poorer. Badly worn shoes lessen the strength of the feet. Such gs of investigators. the findings They also made a study of differ- ent kinds of skirts, and found that the lighter the skirt the slower the onset of fatigue, and the wider a skirt at the bottom the less the fatigue. A skirt for exercising should not weigh more than one pound, and should measure not less than 48 inches in the hip and 2 1-3 yards at the bottom. Linen, velar, corduroy, and velvet produce tiredness most rapidly, while silk, gabardine, and French serge cause least fatigue. Anything that shortens the length of the wearer's steps is likely to cause tiredness. Longer Legs for Barrows. The legs of wheelbarrows are to be lengthened in the Old Country as the result of experiments by the In- dustrrial Fatigue . Research Board, who have made tests to discover the "physiological cost" of wheeling a barrowload of bricks. A. single barrow worker will move approximately 10,000 bricks, weigh- ing twenty-five :tons, in a working day of nine hours, over distanees varying from twenty-five to seventy- Ave 'yards. Starting and stopping the barrow is responsible for 29.3 percent. of the oxygen consumption, and it is sug- gested that the legs of barrows should be lengthened to eighteen to twenty inches. A REMARKABLE STORY OF CLAIRVOYANT Tells Exeter I'Iercitant Where He Will Find Stolen Watch (Exeter Tithes -Advocate) Two weeks ago there appeared in The Times -Advocate an item stating that Mr. Trueman Elliott had had his watch stolen from his pocket the pre- vious Saturday evening. Mr, Elliott is now in possession of his watch under circumstances that are most peculiar. On the Saturday evening in question while working in his store Mr. Elliott heard the town clock strike nine and he took out his watch to compare the time. About twenty minutes to ten someone was in the store and asked hime the time and he felt for his watch and it was gone. The watch is a handsome gold, open face, and he was sorry to lose it, Hearing a number of stories of the work of Miss Pollock, clairvoyant, near Blyth, Mr. Elliott decided to vis- it her and a few evenings after losing his watch he motored to her home. Several cars were ahead of him and it was getting late when his turn cane for an interview. Mr. Elliott stated that he had lost his watch. Reclining in an easy chair the lady pictured to Mr. Elliott the in- terior of his store and a description of his watch. Mr. Elliott had not men- tioned anything about being in busi- ness, but she pictured to him some of his actions and transactions during the evening and stated that while he was reaching for some article over- head the watch was taken from his pocket. She was not sure that he would get his watch back, but if he did it would be soon and would be found among his ready-mades. The next morning when Mr. Elliott came down to open up the store he found the door open and a suit of clothes belonging to Mr. B. W. F. Beavers lying on the counter. Going over to Mr. Beavers he jokingly re- marked that he must have been strong that morning to have forced his lock. Mr. Beavers remarked that the door was partly open when he took the found that the lock had been forced clothes in. On returning Mr. Elliott and remembering what Miss Pollock had said about finding his watch a- mong the ready-mades, he started in search for it and he went through everything on the counters. Mr. E. R. Hopper carne in and assisted him in the search. They were about to give up when Mr. Elliott decided to search the suits that were hanging on a rack at the rear of the store. In one of the pockets he found his watch. Another story is told. in connection with the work of Miss Pollock that comes home close to us. A little dog belonging to a merchant in town was ill and was taken to a veterinary for treatment and was left with him for a few days. ' While in the care of the veterinary the dog disappeared and a lost ad. was inserted in The Times - Advocate. Thinking of the numerous dogs that have been poisoned recently in Exeter, the veterinary had an in- terview with Miss Pollock. She de- scribed the dog and said that it had been sick, but that it was better and that in a few days it would return to its home. A few days after the dog was found by its owner sitting on their verandah. A Rose Remedy. Taking Vince. roses as a remedy for diabetes is quite a common prac- tioe in Africa and Australia. It is taken in a crude manner, as a' decoc- tion of twenty-seven leaves in three teacupfuls of water three tithes. a day. Medical exatninatton has proved that Vinca roses contain at least three alkaloids, present, in nearly the same proportion Wall the specimens exam- ined. It is proposed to find out the actual remedial value of the plant.

LESS LEGISLATION Quebec Specialist's Advice In War On Social Plagues "More education and less legisla- tion," according to Dr. A. H. Des - loges, medical director of the hospi- tals for the insane, should be the slo- gan adopted by all those whose wage war against social plagues. "Education has brought splendid-re- sults plendidre-sults in our fight against venereal dis- eases. Education should do the same toward the decrease of alcoholism," Dr. Desioges said recently, comment- ing upon the resolution passed at the French-speaking surgeons' conven- tion, held last week in Quebec. "Give the people plain facts, show them as it has been done in the Case of veneral disease, that an alcoholic who marries, procreates degenerates, idiots or alcoholics; tell them we have in our asylums whole families of sev- en members all suffering from the consequences of alcoholism; remind them that alcohol breaks it man's will power and may eventually make bf him a criminal; tell them that the prison infirmaries are crowded with alcoholic degenerates. This is edti- cation. "If a father or a mother knows that 'hip pocket flask sltieks' call on their daughter let then throw the undesir- able fellows out without mercy." Wellington Produce Go., Ltd.
