the georgetown he told wednesday evening april 24th 1940 page 3 timely topics for women by barbara bainfis what to throw away april is housecleanlng month the weather to date hasnt been very encouraging but let there be but a lew sunny days and you will find mops and brooms and paint brushes to the fore then comes the question what to keep and what to throw away the strange thing is that we have become so accustomed to our surroundings that we do not see them at all familiarity has not ne cessarily bred contempt but certainly a vast indifference go into another womans home for the first time and you unconscously become a critic of her colour scheme treatment of walls floors windows and furnishings pretend you are a stranger in your own home for he first time go to the door of each room and look ax it impersonally this careful scrutiny is almost sure to throw into relief ome shortcomings hitherto unnoticed what about that bridge prize you put on the mantle because you didnt know what else to do with it those many ornamental ashtrays vases bookends innumerable things given you or picked v here and therethat you once thought cute individually out that now make your irving room look hist a bit llkenst curio shop or that walnut table you always disliked and cost less than your last years hat look at your walls cluttered with pictures some of them worth little and spoiling the effect of the few really goodones of which you are so proud funny you dldnt notice how soiled that white silk lamp shade was or how dusty this bouquet of artificial sowers or how the bottles and jars have seem ed to collect on the top of your dressingtable this is a very exaggerated picture of course but the fact remajn we only see things when we look at them now that you have seen your home do get rid of all the extras replace if possible soiled hump shades and cushions dont put an ash tray in every available spot buy them in sets that nile up and can be gotten out when needed use re straint in the placing of ornaments some add much charm to a room because of their line or colour hoarding of possessions seems to be natural to many people they cant bear to throw anything away but the modem smaller homes have little storage space and it is too valuable to be taken up with unwanted possessons so do go through your rooms with a discriminating eye and decide what to keep and what to throw away in these days when so many organizations are raising money by means of rummage sales and white elephant sales someone no doubt will be glad of donations of articles which are still good but which do not fit in your home let he remind you be sure of the foundation of your life know why you live as you do be ready to gve a reason for it do not ui such a matter as life build on opinion or custom or what you guess to be true make it a matter of certainty and science thomas starr king sunday tea for the troops would you like a peek behind the scones at a sunday tea served sk at the ymca centre at exhibition camp toronto the ymca canteen is always a popular rendezvous for the boys a spot where they can read or write letters ox just talk a spot where they can buy coffee light lunches or the proverbial coke which causes so much amuse ment in england from bevies of smart girls in white uniforms young women from homes and offices volunteer for work behind the counter at the information desk entertaining the boys by playing the piano in the lounge for sing songs and various other duties the attendance in march was 40000 sunday afternoon is lime off for the troops and any who are not visiting their families or friends in the city are invited to be guests of the ymca the ladies auxiliaries of the various vs arc responsible for providing an hours entertainment and a light supper early in the afternoon men in kilts battle drei or air force uni forms begin to gather at 4 oclock they make their way into the con cert hall which seats about 500 for the programme when that is over the ladles who have been busy in the wellequipped kitchen begin serving a pass around supper a typical menu is mansized sandwiches coffee sweet pickles homemade cake and eskimo pies followed by cigarettes after supper one of the chaplains may show them moving pictures but of one thing you can be certain they always begin and end and probably break into the middle or any programme with community sing ing for soldiers love to sing and i love to hear them the rest of the evening many of them play pingpong or other games provided write letters gather around the piano in the lounge for another singsong or chat with the ladies they may even be lucky enough to get an invitation out to dinner at someones home the fol lowing week at the same time every sunday similar teas are served the troops in each of the three ymca buildings in the city and if you could peek behind the scenes there you would see boys from halifax winnipeg or maybe vancouver having just as much entertainment and fun as the others were at exhibition cathpr j might add that the ladles who provided the programme and tea equally enjoy the afternoon threes a crew book reviews by kathrone

nation on armistice day november 11 181b isaiahs words bid us look forward to the day when the present war will come to a conclusion how the news will flash around the world in a few seconds of time shall we when peace is re stored learn better the lessons from war than we did following 1918 isaiah interpreted national events in spiritual terms he spoke of gods forgiveness and the power of god to comfort and restore a broken nation history becomes intelligible only when studied in the light of the power and the will of god right principles 3 5 the illustration of road building us ed by isaiah

dared lo say that heaven and earth would pas away but that his words mainly for women r would not pass away these predic tions ore fulfilled by the very fact that we arc studying the words of the hebrew prophets and the words of the christian gospels many hundreds of years after they were uttered these words are the words of god because they revealed truth and love they are enduring because they are eter nally right history shows many changing moods but there- are endur ing principles of human conduct and international relationships based upon the principles of god the bible has been translated into twelve hundred languages or dialects during last year as for several previous years the bible outsold itfeln t in ger many by 200000 copies thousands of russians are meeting in forests to hear the words of christ when so much hasbeen done to alienate ger man and russian youth from the churches the demand for the scrip tures shows that the gospel can with stand and overcome all the forces ranged against it during the war finnish planes dropped russian bibles over the russian soldiers the chris tian church may have to endure per secution in many countries but the bible will continue to be our greatest source of spiritual truth the work to do 9 10 isaiah predicted the coming of the messiah as one who had good tidings to tell one who would speak to the cities of judah one whose work would be before him as we read these words we think of christ coming as a teacher a lover of his fellowmen dy ing on the cross to redeem mankind from sin thousands of books are be ing written in an attempt to explain what christ has done there still re mains the unfinished work of christ a billion people need to be taught to read and write nations need to be freed from the threat of war poverty and unemployment must be banish- the spread of disease must be checked the blight- of ignorance must- be lifted what christ has already done for mankind is a pledge of what he yet will do the good shepherd 11 to think of the absolute power of a dictator is a nightmare that one man should be able to bring war up on humanity that a small group of n should have power to persecute a
