There is a certain element of deception about going going from home for recreation. Possibly Possibly every man of us could find a week of genuine activity and change of occupation in and around our own homes if we could bring ourselves down to the common-place work of improving improving and straightening up things on the premises. We look out on a lawn that offers hours of work such as a man could develop his muscles splendidly and where the result of labor labor would become very evident in a few active hours. Then there is a building calling hourly for a number of slight repairs and a coat or two of paint. On one side of the grounds there is a fence erected a few years ago, but is now needing badly a man's attention in adjusting the wire section that playing football on the lawn has disfigured, and then a coat of paint is sorely aecessary for general respectability. respectability. A whole week at least could be profitably, and we sincerely believe, believe, pleasantly spent in tidyfying up this home and its surroundings along our street we see where a man can spend a portion at least. of his vacation in almost necessary fresh air exercise of a very beneficial character if he will only act on the hint herein given in a sort of spirit of manly confession. confession. You male reader, do catch on? * * * * "O yes," says our neighbor, "I get God's fresh air and sunshine affords in Unrestricted measure," and proudly raising his chest adds, "Where the immanence immanence of God in Nature is recognized." recognized." We agree, and we know it from personal experience, that a man finds real change and rest with it in the heart of the woods, by the shore of the lake or river or even small trout stream. Aye, and in the great valley or in the inspiration, as one of our subjects recently explained when discussing discussing how best to spend one's holidays, holidays, of the everlasting hills which calmly rebuke the petty passions of the hour. Green things, there come to their full beauty and all species of wild flowers spring luxuriantly at one's feet. This is all true enough and it is a pretty word picture which admits admits of infinite extension.- Nature is so abundant and many- hued throughout this summer season, whenvmegetation and foliage is so r«jHîentirdl and varied and to the re- flective'mind every unfolding flower is stamped with the Divine peace and rest; and the sense of ineffable love, driving out the doubts which this world-war has engendered in many minds and hearts, wraps the spirit in U saving calm.

"Flower in the crannied wait; I pluck you out of the prannies; I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower; but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is." * * * * In our last Talk we reproduced an article on how to become popular in your community. Only the bare fringe of" the subject was touched upon in that article, for there are a thousand ways to be useful and only by being helpful and practically useful can a person become popular in a way to last or be worth while. A man need not to advertise himself from the housetops, as the old saying goes, but by evincing some appreciation for culture--not culture--not of the German brand--and community welfare, by attending and getting others to attend all worthwhile worthwhile local entertainments, lectures, juvenile concerts, musicales, debates, plays and everything to encourage the young people. Don't begrudge a quarter or even a dollar occasionally for your own profit and amusement. You will live longer and enjoy life in a fuller degree. Whoever heard of a grouch or miserly man being well- liked in any community? * * * * We never forget the advice given to us by the farm hand living in the home where we boarded the first year wé taught school in the country. He was a man of middle life--a bachelor, but a consistent Christian. Noticing our fondness for dancing and being out with young folks who would not be very helpful to us as "the new schoolmaster"--this was the way the people in the section referred to us-- Richard had a serious talk with us one evening after tea and pointed out to us in a convincing manner the benefits benefits of associating with the best people people in that community. That was the turning point in our life, as a. young man away from home influences and restraints. So we say to the young man, or older one for" that matter, and young woman, too, associate with good people, be careful of the company company you keep, be courteous and pleasant with all, but self-respecting to every one you meet both in a business business way and in every other personal personal relationship. Dress neatly and becomingly. becomingly. We dwelt on this in a recent recent talk to young folk. Keep yourself yourself in tip-top physical condition. * * * * Should you be married and living in city or town where conditions are different from country ways and habits habits it is well to show your goodwill by dealing with local merchants; even though you do not buy very much. Be assured that in every Canadian community community you are sized up by the- people people and given your weight and measure measure in their personal estimation. As true as that you are alive, every, act that you perform, every word that you speak, every opinion you express and every place you attend all go into the general estimate of your value and standing morally and socially in the place where you "live, move and have your being." Be not deceived, you are good, bad or mediocre accordingly accordingly as you behave and live. * * * * We spoke recently of how we like to see our doctor, teacher of our children children and minister--these three professional professional men particularly act arid live at all times and in all places as real gentlemen. We are not sure but that the conditions demanded of them might not apply to most other men equally well. All business and professional professional men should dress respectably, too, according to the nature of their calling; they should be affable, cordial and easy to approach. Not too much stiffness--dignity is all right at a funeral funeral or in a church wedding, but in actual actual life it has a repelling effect. Be 'affable, then--the smile, the warm handshake, the cheery, happy word, the familiar pat on the shoulder, even the bare recognition across the street or room or hall or elsewhere, produces a favorable and lasting impression arid'will make you many good friends and worth while friendships. O, yes, the young friendly business or professional professional man or farmer who Will get out and mix, laugh, and play, and cry, with the common folks, will build up a profitable clientele more quickly than his brother . with the bulging brow and funereal face. * * * * May we be excused if we introduce a little business paragraph or two just here. It is about' advertising yourself and your business--perfectly honorable and legitimate, too. Every man is some sort of an advertiser. The young man with the fine horse and carriage equipage, who drives through our streets or along the country roads is advertising himself in some special sense. Our opinion is that there are a very precious few of mankind mankind but like to "play to the grand stand," to use a playhouse term. You may say that it is only the vain who desire self-advertising, and that those of true worth are humble. You are wrong. Humility.may be a virtue, but it is a virtue that got its gilt-edge rating before the days of advertising. This is an age of strenuous competition. competition. Though you may be able to render render the world a superior sort of service, service, it will be slow to 'recognize you unless you advertise. .When you have something of value to sell, it is your duty to tell folks about it. Hiding one's light under a bushel is a foolish waste of energy. The world -, needs the light. It is a crime for you ■; to deprive it ot it. All successful men are advertisers. Mark this well. It is a truth„ ; , . ».•: ; . - * •*. Our almost life-time of observation and business experience -has convinced I us-that there must be a real man un- _ der the . hat--jshams sooner or later j come to -the surface, and sure ■ -expo- I sure. It never fails. A personality, i like a business, cannot be advertised I successfully unless it is -solid, sincere and efficient. A sham or a fake can- , no* bear the light of publicity. A .personality .personality that can stand the glare of the spotlight must be well nigh spot- j less. When you become a public per- ! sonage, these little blemishes in your I character, will be magnified gréatly. | Your past misdemeanors will arise to j torment you. Your enemies will try to ^defeat your progress by searching your private life for .facts that you would not like the public to know. Publicity will reveal you as you are, not as you would like to be. Therefore, Therefore, soundness of character and a well-ordered life are essential to successful successful self-advertising. Self-advertising Self-advertising of a man--the favorable kind-- comprehends character-building as well as business building. To be successful successful at it one must first make himself himself as near a 100 per cent, man as possible, and then make his business, or work, a model of similar character and efficiency--an institution that is the lengthened shadow of the Man. Take heed, then, how and where you advertise. * * * * How we do wish. our French Canadian Canadian people could understand the war in its effects on Canada, and what the consequences wbuld most likely be if the Germans ever won out in the present present bloody conflict. Bystander, who lives among the French Canadians and knows them most intimately, says truthfully--and this applies to all "slackers" too--that when the war is over and peace is established, it will be an ineffaceable reproach that the French people did not respond when the empire--when civilization itself-- was in danger. We have heard a great deal as to what the French did in the past; how they saved Canada to England; how they took up arms for the British crown, and so forth. Events that may have bulked before this war are too trivial for mention. The battle of Waterloo was a trifling skirmish; Gettysburg was a picnic; Sedan was a street row; the siege of Paris was child's play.

Great things were done, and they were not there. * * * \ * The success of the Allies since the great and "grand drive" began is causing all the neutral countries to do some very serious thinking. They have, in any case, only two positive alternatives--they must either throw in their lot with the Allies or suffer the Prussian boot. It is evident that if the world would be spared the domination domination of Germany, which would be worse than death, then all of the free nations, great and small, should throw in their lot with the entente powers to render such a doom impossible. Universal dominion is the thought and purpose of the Prussian military caste. Every nerve is being strained to this end. The issue hangs in the balance. We like to believe that Germany Germany is weakening, and we are delighted delighted at the smallness of the sausage. sausage. allowance; but the man power shows only slight signs of diminishing. It will need Greece and Roumania, perhaps Holland, Norway and Sweden to rally to the cause of the Allies, who represent the free democracies of - the world, and whose defeat would ring the death-knell of civilization. These are phrases, and one reads them and forgets; but all too literally this is a fight for the continuance of civilization. civilization. * * * * HOME ACROSS THE SEA. (Written by the wife of an N.C.O., now in England.) I am sitting all alone, dear, Idly dreaming of the past When our hearts were light and happy, No dark shadows on us cast, And there's something seems to tell me That you're thinking, dear, of me, And the loved ones left behind you, In the home across the sea. When the "fall-in" call was sounded, And you buckled on your kit, With a breaking heart I watched you March away to do your bit, May the God who watches o'er us Bring you safely back to me And the loved ones left behind you In the home across the sea. Storms may break and clouds may gather, Time make changes in its flight, But our love will never "change, dear, Though we're far apart to-night. And when at last the war is over May ours the the glorious victory be; Hearts and hands will be united In the home across the the sea. * * * * Methodist ministers have mostly taken hold on their new pastorates. They are closely scanned from foot to head by the people and are talked about in every home. Changes of ministers is very desirable. Besides drawing people out to church it creates creates new interest and enthusiasm in attendance and work. If a minister has any opinions of his own, ideals and practical working plans, he trots them out on going to a new charge. People like a man with brains and strong personality. To be a successful successful leader, as every minister should be, he must possess a good supply of mental pabulum and a positive quantity quantity of sound common sense. It, may seem like insult to hint that any ordained ordained minister lacks either. Well, we hope they are all blessed with ripe horse sense and ability to lead men and inspire confidence. Too many men have zeal without wisdom, and such 'one soon find trouble in their pathway. pathway. If ministers : would bum their sermons every time they move it would be a wise action. Stale sermons sermons war Died over don't suit the appetites appetites of the people. They want a fresh supply of thought and the best that can be produced. Church-goers weary quickly when fed weekly on canned sermons. Preachers may try to fool the members of their flocks, but they can't do it all the time. How would ministers enjoy being fed on dry, stale victuals continually? Then, people should not expect too much of a pastor's wife or they may be disappointed. disappointed. Like other's wives they have household and family cares to attend to.and should not be expected to be a social queen. Too many persons expect expect too much entertainment at the parsonage. Few minister's wives can afford servants and can badly afford to spend hours daily listening to gossip and idle chit-chat. People require to show common-sense, too. In every way, make the pathway as easy and pleasant as you can for year minister and his wife and they will be better fitted to perform, their duties to the church and to the cause at large.
