women's chatter M By Mair M. Morgan tJSm SECRET OF HAPPINESS "I've just left the happiest corner of the world!" said Hubert M. Aucoin, former member of the Nova Scotia Legislature, after spending a fortnight on the ice-imprisoned Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. "Those people know how to live--they've found the secret of happiness," he said. The winter was their vacation. They were well housed and lived comfortably. At nights they held "quilting bees" and varius frolics, and in rhythmic fashion pounded the cloth while singing in their favorite tongue--French. ' "The seal industry, which brought them wealth in the past, coming back," he reported. "Even now they are preparing their seal flats, little boats which they drag along the ice to ensure transport across open water. When the price dropped a few years ago these isfanders partly gave up their quest for seals in the spring. But now the price is rising and these nights they dream dreams of little seal fortunes." In the spring they venture out on the ice, which surrounds them, for 15 miles or more in search of the valuable seal. The people were more of the stamp of the Acadians in the Maritimes than the French in the Province of Quebec, to which they were politically affixed, Mr. Aucoin found. They got more enjoyment out of their hockey than fans at a National League tilt. Old men and women turned out along with children to cheer their island teams. "And if you're blue and you want to live and laugh for awhile --go and visit the good people of Cap-au-Meules, Etang du Nord, Havre-aux-Maisons, Grosne Isle or L'lsle au Loup," he advised. "They'll cheer you up." AIDS TO LONGEVITY After-dinner naps and moderation in all things are offered as aids to longevity by Mrs. H. W. Cubitt, of Orillia, 87 years old, who with her husband celebrated her 62nd wedding anniversary recently. Mr. Cubitt is 84. "When 1 was just a girl, the doctors told me my heart was in such a serious condition I had only a short time to live," she said. "I tried the after-dinner naps and here I am still healthy and going strong." The couple favor the "new-fangled ideas" in education. "Young people today are more advanced than when we were young, and we heartily believe in the continuance of modern education, rather than the simplicity of the so-called 'gold old days,' " Mr. Cubitt comments. "ROYAL RED" The choice of a new.color by the Queen for her latest dresses Is news of interest. The change of favor to a deep warm shade of fed is considered remarkable since the Queen's former preference has been for pastel or muted colors. That she has also ordered a cloth coat in this color, trimmed with silver fox, indicates a complete conversion to stronger color, in which she is following the mood of the season. Sunday- chooLesson PETER TEACHES TO GENTILES Acts 10: 1-11: 18. ""Of a truth I perceive." Literally, to lay hold with the mind." It was not until Peter had crossed the threshold of the house of Cornelius in the new environment and standpoint that he sees this new and great truth. "That God is no respector of persons." The word is compounded of two Greek words, one meaning ?'face," or, "person," and the other, "to take, to select," hence to pay regard to one's looks or circumstances rather than to his intrinsic character. "But in every nation he that fear-eth him, and worketh righteousness." Cf. Rom. 2: 10, 11. It is hardly possible to conceive of any one being referred to in this phrase who was a pure heathen, entirely ignorant of God and his holy law. "Is acceptable to him." Does Peter mean to say that Cornelius is already in a state of grace, so that his sins are forgiven and he is saved? In declaring his perception that Cornelius is accepted with God, does Peter mean to teach that faith in Jesus Is not indispensable to salvation, but that fear of God and righteous works constitute the ground of salvation? To affirm this is as illogical as it is unscriptural. The logic of the whole story is that Peter has been led see that a man like Cornelius is ceptable in God's sight to hear the gospel. "The word which he sent i children of Israel." The fact of a divine message is continually referred to in this boog (e.g. 4: 31; 8: 14, 25; 13: 26; 14: 3; 16: 32). It was sent first to Israel (Matt. 10: «; 15: 24; Luke 1: 16, 54, 68; 2: 32, 34; John, 1: 31; Acts 2: 22, 36; 8: 12; Rom. 1: 16; 2: 9, 10). "Preaching good tidings. This is another translation of the Greek word generally translated "gospel." "Of peace i)y Jesus Christ. The peace which we have in Christ is a frequent and fundamental teaching of the New .Testament writers. "He is Lord of all." Peter spoke of Jesus the preacher; but lest Cornelius like Ni-codemus might be misled into thinking that Jesus was simply a great teacher or prophet sent of God to Instruct, he inserts this striking parenthesis, to assert *>W piflce la tbe, very^fo^U'ront the truth that Jesus is both Lord and King. "That saying ye yourselves know. The Greek word rendered word here is not the same which is so translated in the previous verse. The former refers to the whole message of salvation through Christ, the latter to the tidings about Jesus which had gone abroad after the preaching of John the Baptist. "Which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached (Matt. 4: 12; Mark 1:- 14). "Even Jesus of Nazareth." In apposition with saying in the preced-se, and hence--that saying, that message, even Jesus of Nazareth. This is the only message Peter 'How God anointed him the Holy Spirit." Here Peter < the very heart of his message, and, in chronological order, briefly sketches the life of the Saviour. "And with power." Power to victory, for deeds, for teaching, for every need, for every moment. "Who went about doing good." One of the most important biographical statements concerning Jesus to be found in the New Testament. These words of Peter are in epitome of the ministry of Christ. 'And healing all that were oppressed of the devil." A remarkable description of a profound and univer-l regarding mankind. "For God was with him." As Nicodemus said, "No man can do these miracles that thou doest except God be with him" (John 3: 12). "And we are witnesses of all things which he did." Christ had appointed the disciples to be witnesses of these things (Luke 24: 48; Acts 1: 18), and they repeatedly made it known that it was as such that they derived their authority for speaking concerning Christ as they did. "Both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusa-whom also they slew. The same word was used by the Apostle in his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2: 23). "Hanging him on a tree." Only Peter uses this phrase, here, and in 5: 30. A similar ex-occurs in his First Epistle (2: 24).

If the advertiser were given his choice of three pieces of art work, the first artistically beyond reproach, the second less good in artistic merit but right in its merchandising features and a third that combined both good art and good merchandising, he would logically choose the third piece of art first--the second one,, second--and the first one, last.

In any event you are being taught how to apply the fundamentals of Art, but it is their Commercial Application that will determine your success and profit in the profession. Remember this:-- A celebrated painting may be beyond criticism from artistic standpoints, but be practically worthless from a commercial standpoint. The ideal of commercial art is artistic excellence PLUS commercial considerations necessary to get DESIRED RESULTS. Bear in mind that your commercial art is primarily purchased their particular ideas and too little recognition to the COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS under which the advertisement will appear.

U.S. Trade Body Sees Sharp Business Gain Washington,--An acceleration of the pace of United States business activity during December and January was reported by th" Department of Commerce recently i i its monthly "survey of current business." "Sharp gains have been evident in industrial production and employment," said the report, which added: "The adjusted index of industrial production for December, at 86 per cent of the 1923-25 average, was 12 points higher than in November, and was the same as the 1934 high. The seasonalbly adjusted index of factory employment rose 3 per cent, while the payroll increase' was 6.2 per cent. My Dog William H. Rumsey, in Shepherd Dog Review.

The skeptical Jews would not have believed, and Jesus was kept from open contact with the world of sin after his Passion. "But unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead (Luke 24: 42, 43; Josn 21: 12-15). Peter's Gentile listeners might wonder if the resurrection of Jesus from the dead a true resurrection of Christ's body and soul both, or only some spiritual manifestation of Christ, and confirm what he has announced he makes this very pointed reference the literalness of Christ's physi-, resurrection. 'And he charged us to preach un-the people." The Apostle has now completed his brief sketch of the ;in epochs of the Lord's life on :-th, and proceeds to explain how they, the disciples, were so concern-,'ith proclaiming this stupendous message. "That this is he who is ordained of God to be the Judge of the living and the dead (John 5: 22, 27; Acts 17: 31). This startling claim made by St. Peter with reference to Jesus of Nazareth, with whom he had lived on terms of closest intimacy, and in whose death he might well have seen the destruction of all his hopes, is a further evidence of the change which had passed over the Apostle. "To him bear all the prophets witness." Here, particularly, Peter means they bear witness to tae truth he is about to declare, namely, "that through his name every one that belleveth on him shall receive remission of sins (Isa. 49: 6; Joel 2: 32). Whosoever is the word which tells out the meaning of the gospel for a lost and guilty world. "While Peter yet spake these words." One of the countless incidents in Holy Writ which evidence the omniscience of God in perfectly timing every manifestation of his power and grace and guiding love. "The Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word." Often spoken is "the Gentile Pentecost." It did not come to them by the laying of hands, it came to them in the very way in which it had come to e earliest disciples, without any man intervention, and made itself nifest In the very same way. 'And they of the circumcision that believed." The six Jewish Chris-i who had accompanied the Ap-i to Caesarea (ver. 23 and 11: "Were amazed, as many as ? with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit." The miracle proved what Peter had said with a fullness of proof for which Peter himself perhaps was scarcely prepar- 'For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Cf. 2: 4. Probably nothing short, of this visible manifestation would have convinced them that God was indeed claiming these Gentiles as his own. 'Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? The comment on this verse by. Professor A. T. Robertson, one of the outstanding New Testament scholars of this generation, and himself a Baptist, is particularly significant: "It was clear that they were already converted before the gift of the Holy Spirit came upon them, though regeneration itself if the work of the Holy Spirit also.' "And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ." Paul usually (1. Cor. 1: 14-17), did not do the baptizing himself. "Then prayed they him to tarry iin days." It is probable that Peter consented to stay, and thus showed that he was prepared to act rding io the teaching of the Arctic Doctors Canada Week by Week remarks "Medical care for the native inhabitants of Canada's -Far North is provided by the Canadian Government, and for thousands of miles along the Arctic coast of the Dominion, in fair weather and in foul, medical ofiicers he service of the Government bring their healing art to the aid of the Eskimo citizens, while inland Indians, half-breeds and indigent whites are also given medical aid. inter and Summer patrols of hundreds of miles are not unusual, and nearly every mode of trans-known to the north country such as airplane, steamboat, motor boat, canoe, and dog-sled lias been used to extend the service.

Before the coming of the white' man the Eskimos were isolated along Canada's Arctic coast, and they kuew nothing of such common ills as colds, influenza, and other-kindred ailments.
