Agricultural Representative Ralph Banbury has received some information from the National Selective Service and it is expected that about as many as last year may be available. It is the feeling of the Western farmers that wages should be at least $70.00 per month plus board and lodging. Not too favourable weather conditions in many parts of Western Canada may cut down the numbers coming East, but all those willing to give a hand will be welcomed by Northumberland County, where there is a promise of a good hay crop.

THE WAYSIDE CHURCH Our Text-- My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith the Lord."--Psalm 55 : 8. Our Verse-- "Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain, God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain." --Cowper. Our Sermon-- "ft is a good thing," wrote Stephen Leacock, "that God isn't guided by all the advice He gets from His well-informed creation." We have a good reason to be glad that the Wisdom of God transcends the Wisdom of His well-intentioned advisers. Yet how often we are tempted to feel that God ought to have taken a certain course of action just because it seemed best from our point of view. We do not always remember that our point of view is an extremely limited one. "We were born yesterday, we shall die tomorrow," wrote Jeremy Taylor. God works in the Light of Eternity and we live in the Light of Time. We can only take the short view of any situation. How much more ought we to trust the Wisdom, Goodness and Love of the God who sees the end from the beginning, and who knows the whole before the part is finished. Perhaps things are not turning out just as you think they should, then trust them to the wisdom of your God, for: "His purpose will ripen fast Unfolding every hour The bud may have a bitter tast But sweet will be the flower." Our Prayer-- Oh God whose Wisdom knows shadow of folly and whose purposes are perfect parts of the perfect whole of the eternal destiny, train our minds to trust Thee and teach us to obey They--always--we pray. Amen. NURSES URGENTLY NEEDED FOR RED CROSS OUTPOST HOSPITALS There is once again a great need for nursing personnel in Canadian Red Cross Outpost Hospitals, according to Miss F. I.

If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing, If you like him or you love him, tell Don't withold your approbation 'till the parson makes oration As he lies with snowy lilies o'er his For no matter how you shout it, he won't really care about it; He won't know how many tear drops you have shed ; If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip it to him For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead. More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny And it gives you heart and spirit to the end; Perhaps he's waiting, yearning, sighing ; And the days are swiftly flying While the "ups and downs" of life his ways attend. If he earns your praise--bestow it: if you like him, let him know it; Let the words of true encouragement be said : Do not wait 'till life is over and he's underneath the clover, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.
