My dear Boys and Girls.
I have just been talking to a Jolly
little Scout named David, I-10 is an
English Scout, who Is carrying out
so well the big Idea Ot "service"—
helping others.
David Said' ,Aunt June do you al-
ways feel like, helping and doing the
right *thing all the time?"
This question led us to have a chat
about the two persons in every one
og:us. I felt bound to tell David that
I (lid not always feel Unselfish, for
to be -a helper and give service to Oth-
ers, one must be unselfish, and I think
all of us 'know that there are times
when we feel just I little bit selfish or
when our other self wants to be the
leader.
Did you ever think that there are
tivo selves inside every one of Uis? a
very true, good, kind, gentle self that
wants to be the very best boy or the
very best girl wid do splendid things

for others, and another self Which
says, "Ob. don't bother." . .
Sometimes Mr. First Self is in a
charge and everything goes well. We
get on with lessons at school, please
those it Illome by acts of kindness, and
make everyone think "what a Pleasant,
happy boy Or girl that is," and—then,
Mr. First Self gets a little tired, per-
haps, and thinks he will go to Sleep— 0
and this it where Mr. Second Self, who I
is selfisli, and slow and untidy, and
careless, wakes up to take -charge,
and Ohl what a change! The happy,
helpful boy or girl that everyone was
so proud of seems to have vanished.
Now, it is not only in boys and
,-girls and just "Aunts" that this hap- t
plans, but In all kinds of big men and a
women, Everyone has these two e
selves, but some have looked so sharp- v
ly after Mr. Second Self that they
have almost succeceded in keeping
him asleep all thQ time, which is the
best place for such a troublesome per-
son, I think, don1 you?
0 The people who make Mr. SeQnd
(selfish) Self go to sleep and keep
quiet are those who grow up to fill
the best positions in the world, post- a
tions of trust over othilirs. No one,
you see, could properly look after
other People unless he could first look t
after himself. So here is something
for U13 to remember, as Helpers. We
must learn to make our best self. obey
us. We must say to the worst self in t
us, 'No," when we feel that he wants C
to rule. h
Will you think of this sometimes? I
O�ur Fall Flowers . � -
e
Last week I promised to tell You P
the names of some varieties of golden s
rod to be found in Canada.
Early golden rod is one of the most B
common, The flowers of this kind
grow in long -shaped clusters, and the
Plant when fully grown is about four
feet in height. You can tell it by the t
smooth pointed leaves, notched at the
end of stem.
Rough sternmed golden rod grows to a
a much greater height, in some places G
being as tall as a man or over, that
is as Much as six or seven feet. The s
flowers are more spready than other
varieties, and the leaves and stalks
are hairy and rough to the touch as
the name suggests.
Showy golden rod is somewhat like
the Canada In shape, but larger. The I D
leaves are quite different, being broad
at the bottom of stem and narrower 9
at the top.
Lance -leaved golden rod is entirely
different to any of the other -varieties.
The flowers are smaller and not so
vivid in coloring, being more yellow
than golden, and growing in tight
bunches, round rather than long in
shape.
So yon see, here are live varieties,
each of them having some different
feature in shape of leaves, flowers, or
:stera to distinguish them. It would
be au Interesting plan for you to see
bovr many of them you can find and
name,
