W. Taylor Proverbs 4:23. Keep the heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. As we look out upon the world and all the complex structure and activity of human life, it is hard to realize that all has originated in the human heart and mind. Out of the body are the issues of health. Out of the mind are the issues of knowledge. We must guard and exercise both if we are to expect health and knowledge. So out of the heart comes character, and the qualities of good character are sincerity, virtue, godliness. Isn't it worth while to guard our hearts to have these and other good qualities? It was a great insight for the writer in those days to see that true character has a single source. This means that the hearts of young and old, (that is one combination of heart, mind and soul or the contemplative capacity of personality,) determine the character of the individual, the community and even society. The tragedy of life is when a person betrays their vows of love and loyalty to God or man. Samson was such a person. He was a man whose life had been dedicated to God but he betrayed his vow of fealty to God. In the face of a national emergency, possessed of a splendid physique, in an hour when the whole nation waited for a leader, he wasted his strength in childish "hall-owe'en" pranks and squandered his manhood through the impatient gratification of his selfish lusts and appetites. A person must keep the citadel of the soul if they would preserve their courage and strength for God's work. Sooner or later what captures and dominates the heart will reveals itself in outward word or deed or appearance. Life is full of such illustrations. Perhaps we haye been surprised at the down fall of some solid, respectable and even Christian person. The breakdown appeared to be sudden to us but not likely to the person concerned. Perhaps some have been surprised at them- selves, how suddenly they can be swept off their feet by some temptation they have never had trouble with before. The reason often is that just for a moment or for a time they have not been on their guard, felt perhaps that it wasn't necessary, that there wasn't any danger for them. On the other hand it often works the other way. Sometimes we are agreeable surprised by a change in someone else for the better. There is always good at work as well as evil. ; Whatever else we are, we are guardians of our own hearts. It is a great responsibility, one that we cannot escape or delegate. We may place somethings under another's care but not the heart. The heart can be a breeding ground or germinating centre of good or ill. Some may appear to begin with others but if we imitate or follow them it shows they have begun in us too. Within each one the struggle or conflict goes on between good and evil for possession or domination of our life. It is a real and a constant conflict. Sometimes when we think we have won, it breaks out again with renewed vigour. The ability to stand alone or with the minority against wrong is a sure test or true religion. We must refuse to do anything that would defile the conscience, mar the soul or spoil the life. Daniel at the court of King Nebuchadnezzar refused to partake of the king's strong meats and drinks. No matter how attractive those delicacies were, he refused to touch them, because "he had purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat." He overcame the temptation refusing to do anything that would defile his conscience or mar his soul. This same sense of values, this same devotion to right, and this same moral courage were never more needed than today. The best way to guard the heart is to give it to Jesus Christ and then to occupy it as much as possible with those things that would meet with His approval and blessing. Appeal for Funds by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind The work of the Canadian In-1 stitute for the Blind has been presented recently to the Rotary Club by M. J. Coumans and to | the Legion Auxiliary by Mrs. C. i W. Royal, who spoke specially about the Eye Bank. The Colborne campaign for' the blind progresses steadily, with more than twenty ladies, under Mrs. J. Lynn, visiting from house to house. The first returns from workers have brought in one donation of $20 from a business firm, $10 from personal donations of $10 cash. It is hoped that the visitors will complete most of the work in the coming week-end. Do you know the story of a blind man, standing on the kerb on St. Clair Ave., Toronto, waiting for someone to guide him across the road? He felt an arm touching him, clung to it, and the two walked across together. They were both totally blind.
