They ar stewards for the welfare of those who lacked opportuni who suffer want. Rotting fruit.or idle wealth, hoarded grain or unused land '--these are a reproach to the owner. If a'man and his family have plenty; it is really not important that he should make more and still more money. He i8 frequently only piling up a 'reason why his children should wish him gone. Generosity is a splendid investment for old age. : Few of us know what want is. We have seldom had a more prosperous year. But if we are not careful our prosper- ity can make us fault-finding and greedy. Jerushun "waxed fat and kicked,"" and his descendants are not all dead. We are apt to turn up our noses. at the simple home joys that were the delight of our fathers. We ought to be thankful in this land of bounty; and it will be unfortunate if we lose our sense of gratitude, and have to learn appreciation through want. Without assuming any undue piety, it can be frankly stated that God is left out of our reckoning too much. If 'we are out of touch with the Church, and it fails to command. our respect as it should, we must remember that far toofew. of 'us are contributing our abilities or wealth to make the Chtirch effective. .T.W.

Why l am a Gardner | ~The following essay was taken from The Kodak Magazine of Rochester, and was written by George Powers, of Rochester, The "essay won first prize. Locking back to the days of my-childhocd I think I was al- ways a sort of gardner. I know I always helped in the garden then. Still, it was not until later years when the garden was my own that my real interest was awakened, and each year that interest has grown stronger and stronger until now my gar- den is as much a part of my life as each returning season. my garden as my most profitable investment. Those first early spring 'days when I scan the dry- ing earth and decide about how soon I can begin to work the ground, are days spent out in the fresh air and sunshine. Each moment so spent returns double interest. The hours I spent in the evening in my garden are my tonic for the long days spent in the shop, and the benefits I have gained from having fresh vegetables to place on my table cannot be counted. My garden is always a wonder to me edu- cationally. ' Each year nature has surprises in store for me, and never until my last crop is in, do I know just what she is doing. She has taught me les- sons in patience, faithfulness, ces; My garden is:al 80 a benefit to me prllen Ian: I raise nearly all my winter vegetables, and. together with my orchard, my fruit and vege- table cellar, is a goodly thing to look at about Christmas time. I have also captured a couple of prizes on my vegetables in the Camera Works Garden Exhibit, which has been a stimulant for me to try and do a little better next year. I hope in my declining years I shall always have a garden, and feel that as long as I can make things grow I am still of some use in the world. Centenarian Dies Mr. Wm Groves, Renfrew, an uncle of Mr. John Rolph, died in his 101st year, on Oct. 5th. Mr. Groves was born in New- ton Barry, Ireland, July 12,1820, and came to to Canada alone when 21 years of age. For some years he worked on Lanark County, but as. he had received an excellent education for those davs, he was induced to take up the profession of teaching at an initial salary of $100 a year. . Mr, Groves never used tobacco. and was never more than a mod- erate drinker, but for the past 25 years has been an ardent ad- vocate of temperance.
