Many quarrels arise among those who live and work side by side merely because they are close together and are too well aware of peculiarities and shortcomings which each descries in the other. It is so in families. If the real test came, it might be found that love abides. But in the ordinary contacts which each day brings there is friction that {is due first of all to the mere, simple fact of proximity. Men in a quest of the North Pole have been enraged at each other for no réason except that silence and iso- lation preyed on the nerves. Fights were born of the long, lonely darkness, which the modern miracle of the far- flung voices of the radio will do much to dispel. Presently each man knew all there was to know about the rest. There were no surprises left. Monot- ony bred discord: Neighborliness ought to mean loving kindn It should be the synonym for sympathy. When a new resident moves into the "neighborhood" those who live there already wonder what sort of neighbor he will be. His pre- 'sence will raise or lower the tone of the environment. If his children are fit to play with, they wil be welcomed by the other chidren. The fathers and mothers are relieved and delighted when the household, set down side by side with their own homes, is found to be constituted of generous, kindly souls who take thought for others. The nearest to us are those who can do us the most mischief or the most good. More pitiful than any other ser cial phenomenon is that of husband 30th | ond wife who use the closeness of their relation to make each other mis |, erable instead of happy, They should '| not have come together unless they ins tended to be everything that is helptul each other. _| the spring. «| fickle, . sometimes "| Do Not Use Harsh Purgatives-- A Tonic is All You Need. Not sick--but not feeling quite well. That is the way most people feel in Easily tired, appetite es and a feeling of depression, - Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or "there may be twingea of rhtumatism or neuralgia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order--that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious trouble. Do not dose yourself with purgatives, as many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purga- tives. gallop through the system and weaken instead of glving strength. Any doctor will tell you that this is true. What you need.in the spring is a tonic that will enrich the blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do this speadily, safely and surely. Every dose of this medicine helps to enrich the bleed, which clears the skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, aetive and strong. Mr. Henry R. Robinson, Cruickshank, Sask, says:--"My blood was out order and I was pervous and run down. I got a supply of Dr. Willams' Pink Pills and after taking them for & while they fully restored my health. I am now feeling fine and have no hesi- tation in recommending these pills to all who are feeling unwell." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Willams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ees etter Our Might-Have-Beens. Our might-kave-beens lie all along The road of life; the plans gone Wrong Because we did not chance to do Some certain things some certain Way, The dreams that never did come true, The loves that died, or went astray, Not merely things accomplished mark Our progress through the dawn and dark; Our failure§ also we recall, Not only #miles but also tears; They are the mileposts after all, Gray peaks that rise about the years. And memory brings a pleasure still, As memory nearly always will; The sweetest hours we ever know Are not when victory we win, But when we sit, the fire burned low, And think of things that might have been. , Douglas Malloch.

The most wonderful manuscript Bible in the world is owned by a Mr. Russell, of Montreal. With infinite patience he carried out this great work with his own hand. Mr. Russell, who is a Presbyterian, said that his main object in attempting such a task was to leave some unfor- gettable and tangible memorial of him- self for his family, Phe work, which is wonderfully done in a style of half writing and half printing, was perormed at odd mo- ments of spare time, and took twenty- two yeans to complete! The New Testament takes up 471 pages, with double columns on each page, and was written without a single error or omission. In all, there are 1,987 pages. Among the distinctive features of this wonderful book are the title-pages, which are exquisitely illuminated, the delicate penmanship, and the hand- some morocco binding. The weight of the Bible is about eighteen pounds, and it contains an autograph of the Prince of Wales, who showed great interest in it when he was in Montreal. -------- nny The Organist's Opportunity. Every organist should be a leader or leading factor for the advancement of music in his community, independent- | ly and outside of his church. While his position in the church should have | a certan value to any outside musical work in which he may be engaged, he should aid the cause of music through any other ayailable channels. So many things are pssible, and there are eo many ways of going at them. He should, in co-operation with other enthusiasts, organize a chorus or singing club. It matters not wheth- er it be of men, women, children, or all three combined, so long as it is of value to the community. Organpists and pianists who have never done this type of work and are not surg they could, will find out that, just as they play music in three and four parts on the piano or organ, and listen to each voice in its correct re- lation to the other for the proper blending of the parts, they can do the same with voices. If you have not done it and want to learn how, go to it and you will succeed. -- tp Remit by Deminion Express Money Order. If lost or stplen you get your money back. eee. To Change Leap-Year Day?
