countenance youre no match for die girls dorry my boy shes not only one girl mr wy lie marion is a dozen girls one girl with the essence of a 4ozen eh went on marions ador ing uncle but i surely thought ahe liked you a little bit my boy he put his hand on dorrys big shoulder the young fellow turned a dark tenseace and humorous gray eyes toward the older man bft there was tinge of bitterness in his voice im afraid its a little bit a very little bit sir pshaw dorry when i was a young chap like you we knew how to make the girls jike us whether they would or no blurted mr wy lie impatiently idorry smiled yet you never married one sir i true my boy but she didnt like me even a little bit now mar ion he paused and rumpled his thick gray hair come into the study i want to show you sgjne thing and dorry followed marions uncle into a small booklined room with the wall above the bookcases hung closely with rare engravings and hunting trophies from all over the globe for mr wylie had been a treat traveler and even now threat ened another expedition into south am asia he crossed to the fireplace and took a long narrow box from the mantelpiece im going to give you a love philter he announced dorry lander stared and then his deep hearty laugh echoed through the house a charm repeated dorry po- tely yes it is a ftute of old ab tjys- aofa now a venerable shlek and patriarch of his tribe in the arabian desert he told me wonderful sto ries of its power to win the love of a maiden just play ft before her thats what he said and believe me he most have been a handsome rascal in bis youth i took the ate i thought i might use it some fay bat deuce take it all the ooly girt i had fancied married while i was on mat trip and so the flute as never been used i have kept it as a curiosity dorry took the case and thanked the donor i feel like a fool mr wylie i never played a flute so much the better just blow it gently in her ear or under her window somewhere away from the house by all means he added emphatically oh ill try the rose garden by moonlight tonight muttered dor ry looking very red he hid the arte in his coat pocket foe he heard varions light step on the stairs tell her i will come over tonight but dont tell her about the flute he whispered and slipping over the wutdowsili he dlsappered among the trees that led tothe side street it was not until after 10 oclock that he reentered the wylie grounds and made his way to the lovely rose garden which was overlooked by the south side of the old house mar ions windows were on that side of the old house and a faint light shone there behind rosy curtains i wonder if she looked for me to night he thought as he took out the flute and replaced the box in his pocket never in his life had he played any musical instrument and it was with some trepidation that he put the flute to his ltps and following mr wylies directions he blew softly upon it the result was so wonderful that be charmed his own senses and sat down on a marble seat among the roses the most entrancing music came wandering from tbe flute of the old arab sheik it was like all the love songs of the world it played itself as dorry blew gently into tbe mouthpiece the wooing strains seemed to kiss the bending roses seemed to meet tbe falling dew seemed to lift up to marions windows he forgot her for the mo ment he was entranced with lo r itself an at once be saw a misty white form coming across the lawn it drew nearer nearer and the moonlight shimmered on her golden hair it was the girl he loied dearest whispi red dorry be aide her dorry sht answnad in a muf fled tone wore you plaine ihii tor mc of course i thought when 1 heard 11 thji someone had st iler uncle olivir prized possess m and i came out tc rescue it and it va nl you play tng to tht moon confound it all said dorry im patuntly i knew it wouldn t uorli flor a cent you re onl liughing ai me after all he picked up the flute and turned away but frorr atmong the roses her voice came sweet and low dont go dorry uncle olivei meant well but you don t need th flute to win my love because and uncle oliver gave them th flute ft wedding present bedausi be said he was actually afraid at its influence in the possession of a confirmed bachelor like himself sunday school ltison by rev ft o todd lesson text mark 6 713 luke 10 13014 2627 prom the very beginning jesus seems to have taken it fox granted that he needed the help of others to accom plish his purpose he attracted a large number of disciples prom these he chose twelve to be his intimate asso ciates in our first lesson in this ser ies we saw him spend a night in pra yer about the selection of che twelve subsequent lessons have dealt with the careful training and preparation which he gave bis twelve disciples glancing through the new testament one is struck by the number of occasions on which he4ook them aside and gave them a special interpretation of the things he has said to the people in this weeks lesson we find him il miiamm ultf out to do practical ttork two occasions on which he did this are mentioned on- the first occasion only the twelve went they went two by two and with very corerut instruc tions the instructions given would aeem to indicate that the mission was of short duration and didn t carry them far afield the message they preached was a message of repentance one may well suppose that it was the same mes sage the master was preaching re pent ye for the kingdom of god is at hand the twelve were also commis sioned to heal the sick it seems un real to us to think 61 unclean spirits and devils as being responsible for the ills of men we must remember that the science of jesus day was to tally different bo that of our own the language used to describe illhealth whether it was mental or physical was quite different then but the diseases themselves were no different jesus appears to have had great therapeutic skill and whatever his methods the seem to have been attended by great success evidently he taught his me thods to his disciples and when they went out on their mission the sick were brought to them and success at tended their efforts the healing ministry has alwas been a pan of christian work and plajs a great part m the missionary work of the modern ohuroh therapeutic methods have greatly changed since the time of je sus and the will probably be totally different some centuries from now but the healing mlnlstr of the chris tian church will continue j on the second occasion jesus sent out oeventy disciples two by two thirtyfive teams their work appears to have a more general nature in the sense that they worked as advance agents of jesus and his apostles who would do the followup work it would appear that jesus did not do his evangelistic work in a haphazard man ner bat organized it well we must never think of jesus as carrying on his work in splendid loneliness rather he sought by every means to enlist as many as possible in the great enter prise which god had committed to him on both these occasions on which je sus sent out his disciples there is a note of great urgency the fields are white unto the harvest the harvest is great and the pray ye he lord of the harvest that he would send forth labourers into his harvest there is a desperate need for healing it is desperately important that the gospel be proclaimed have we that note of urgency today m chris tian circles it is not a matter of in difference whether children and young people are taught the christian truth it is hot a matter of indifference whether older people are converted to the christian way of ufe not only does individual welfare depend upon it but the peace of the world a life won to christ every life won be comes a means of saving influence in the world making an enriching con tribution to society es a whole de void of the christian spirit a ufe is either neutral or positively destructive we must not wait but labour urgently for the cause of jesus christy the final note of the lesson concerns our allegiance and devotion no thing pwr1 tin pprwn miuir hg aumwnri tnnn between us and our service for the master if we are to be his disciples he must have our supreme devotion dlsolpleship is not an easy thing as those who are disciples know it costs much it can mean living on a pit tance instead of holding down a lucra tive position it can mean public rid icule it can mean martyrdom dis ciples must be prepared to pay the cost and carry the cross he that taketh not his cross and followeth af ter me is not worthy of me the work to which jesus calls dis ciples today is not just another activi ty of which the world has many the salvation of the world depends upon it the cause is urgent today it then must not wait in this atomic age it is christ or ohaos umehouse mlsb sohwegler daughtir of mr and mrs h c sohwegler of toronto and limehouse was one of those graduat ing from toronto general hospital

however i feel that beauty should be sacrificed in the interests of safety it has been my experience that the large shrubs at the interesections and driveway entrances completely block the view of a motorist or cyclist soon er or later someone is going to be kil led or injured at one of these entran ces and i therefore urge that all shrubs at these points be removed thus nreventlng accidents before they happen before presenting this matter to council i would through your col umns be interested in hearing the views of other queen street residents yours very truly queen street resident

to see its name on the license plate of a car somewhere in canada during the summer each year with the unerring directness of migratory water fowl millions of american tourists come north to canada they come because canada offers them nature unspoiled and unblemished they come to revel in those oys of the outdoors which we canadians are prone to take too much for granted in their travels and during their stay here the money they spend forms tbe basis of a 150000000 industry bringing an added measure of prosperity to all of us like any asset the tourist industry must be protected this we can do most surely and easily by protecting and conserving the heritage of natural beauty and wildlife for our own enjoyment as well as theirs every canadian as a shareholder m canadas natural wealth has a vital interest in the conservation of this heritage conservation is not just a doctrine to be preached to hunters and fishermen it is a vital part m the continuance of our national economy and must of neces sity fail if its measures do not receive the full support of all canadian citizens
