GOOD RESOLVES FOR WOMEN
Suggestions Pertinent to New Year
That VIII Make Home More
Cheerful and Comfortable.

So many people, In making their New
Year resolutions think only Of their
diets, their characters, and their
pocketbooks Their homes, which,
directly or indirectly, influence all
these things, are disassociated in their
minds with anything pertaining to the
New Year and the fresh page that is
just turning over. But when each
woman stops to think that her home
may be made so attractive that her
menfOlks, without knowing the reason,
will want to spend their evenings
there; that her children will grow up
with higher ideals, and will always
keep beautiful memory Of what home
means; that she herself will walk with
her head we'll up, and her shoulders
back, as she sallies forth to take her
place in the world of men, knowing in
her heart that her home is as it should
be-since home is such q sacred place,
shall we not include the word in the
list of our desires and strivings? Shall
we not resolve to make it worthy Of
our life and love?
have you cnaIr tnat SQueakS as
you sit down upon it? Why not mend
1t? Have you mended that ripped hem
in your couch Govern Have you tackled
down that loose place in your hall car
pet? Are you not tired Of looking
at your pillows which need recovering?
When are you going to get at clean
Ing off that smoky place on your cell
ing? Little repairs like these work
wonders in the home. Why not get at
them this next week?
Have you a room which does not
please you? Why not experiment with
the furniture and see If you cannot
place it to greater advantage, or so
that it will give greater comfort? Oft
en- the arrangement of a room is re-
sponsible for its lack of charm.
Does your woodwork need re-
painting? Why not start to paint it
a little at time? In so doing the
time spent is never missed and wet
paint in small areas is easier to steer
around.
Have you too many ornaments in
your house? Why not pack, some Of
them carefully away, and see how you
like doing without them? Your rooms
would be happier.

A ND now, Lord, what wait

Is it to be wondered at if, like
David, we too should put the question,
"What wait I for?" The mystery of

CANADA'S new
DEVELOPN ENT
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

It is evident that the Government of
the Dominion in its programme of re-
construction and development is I'M
dertaking work of tremendous inn
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead of Canada sinking into state
of lethargy, there will be a continued
period of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities of
the great Canadian West possess illim-
liable acres of the best of soil, capable
of producing millions of bushels of
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of the chief de-
it will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
Of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development in this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced in this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment Of industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with a
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
in the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas a commission for
the purpose of securing orders Can
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and in the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned q large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

hear the voice, harden not your hearts"
It may be you are waiting to bear
fruit. You are, by the grace of God,
already saved, let us suppose. But for
what purpose were you saved? Since
God loves you with "love that pass
eth knowledge" and since Ito depart
and be with Christ were far better"
than to remain here-why did he not
call you to himself at your conversion?
Why are you here instead Of enjoying
your Redeemer's presence? There
must be some reason. aye have not
chosen me- said Christ, "but have
chosen you, and ordained you, that We
should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain" May
it be to give you another opportunity
to glOrify his father by bearing fruit,
that you are still here?
1t may be you are waiting to be
perfected. / ought to explain this, be-
cause there is a sense in which every
true Christian is perfected the moment
he accepts Christ as his Savior. He
is perfected in that he is both justified
and sanctifed; his sin is put away, and
by the Holy Spirit he himself is set
apart for God forever. The New Tes-
lament is very clear on this; notice
PauIs words in his epistle to the Co
lossians, for example.
What, then, do we mean by saying
we may be waiting to be perfected?
Do we mean the attainment of state
of sinlessness this side of heaven? No:
for if Christian lived to be as old as
Methuselah, would he not still require
to pray, 'Forgive US our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against
us?" We only mean that perfectness,
in the sense of ripeness for the
sickle, which comes in the lives of
some as if a crown of glory had been
vouchsafed to them even before they
passed into the unseen.
And so may it be with some of you.
Though now your pruning, your dig
ging, and perhaps your growing days
are over, yet the quiet but potent rays
of divine grace are accomplishing a
maturity in your experience, so that
YOUR Christian life never will have
been so attractive as in the hour that
you depart hence. 'We all do fade as
a leaf, but the fall of you, We glory
crowned ones, is to be illumined by
the grandeur of an autumnal sunset.
God bless you, aged brethren God
bless you, young and old, rich and
poor, saint and sinner! May you have
a Happy New Year" in the highest
and truest sense. "Happy is the peo-
pie whose God is the Lord" Accept
him, serve him, wait for him. 1t is
only as we stand in such relationship
to him that, after employing the psalm
lists question, "And now, Lord what
wait I forY' we can confidently apply
the consolation in his words that fob
low, "My hope is in thee"

To the Old Year
20 PATTENCE WORTH

We part, oh comrade, reluctantly;
Long have we trod the winding way,
Troublous, clouded, graysome-
Aye the Swallowed way.
Adieu! We part, oh, contradict Adieu!
Upon thy way I see thee going,
Bonded low meath thy burden;
Weighted, bowling, tired ploddng
Heavy footed out upon thy newsome path
What hand shall welcome thee?
Adieu, oh comrade! We part
Thou upon thy way and 1 upon mine.
I have seen thy brothers slain;
have watched thine eyes streaming;
have seen thee stop upon thy way
To stanch some bleeding thing; (
Smiling wisely, bending tenderly.
But thou art weary now
Bent and weary. Thy steps
Are stepped most falteringly.
Adieu! With thee upon thy path,
Oh, wilt thou take the memory
Of my hands clasp-the touch
Of one brother upon the others flesh?
Oh, wilt thou then turn
And smile me back one smile of fellow
ship?
I see my aged form sink low.
I would burden thee not, save of my love;
Nor would hang upon thy brow
A garland or gllStenlng green
That f1asheth scarlet bud.
Nay, 'twould be as a skull
Wreathed of victor's laurel
A folly-crown upon thy most venerable
brow.
Adieu, oh comrade! Upon thy path!
The years that come are reckoning me;
But I shall recall thy burdens,
Thy sorrows, thy tendernesses.
Aye, and, oh, wilt thou turn upon thy
path
And smile a smile of fellowship,
Oh parting year?

short, sew a strip Of heavy cotton to
the bottom; this tucks in nicely and Is

The use of uncooked cereals is a
great saver of time and fuel, and many
prefer them, although they are much
more expensive. They combine well
with such fruits as bananas, and make
a most appetizing and nourishing dish.
All dry cereals should be crisped in

Within Ifes book another leaf is turned;
Today we face new and untried year,
Its secrets and its purpose all unguessed
No hand may lift the veil that hides from us
Success or failure, and no feet save ours
May tread our pathway do our several tasks.
We step into the New Years outstretched arms.
And wonder if with all her Turing charms
.Truer she'll prove than one we leave behind.
What we have gained from wrestling with defeat.
Mayhap will give strength foes to meet
With greater courage. Come, them storm and stress.
Defeat and failure, or joys magic SPELL
To each or all the new year holds in store
We reach our hands in welcome, for we know
Our truest blessings from our failures grow,
And that our share Of happiness will be
What we acquire through sef-mastery
