Well,' I won't say it because I know if you work in a store or an office you look forward like everything to that day to -your- self. So I won't begrudge you your holiday., But to people he Jive on a farm a bank holiday isn't a day off at all--it's just a day that we have to remember so as to make sure there is enough bread and meat and other things in the house until the res open again. And it's a day we don't get our mail delivered--and for the -- life of me I never can remember on which holidays mail is deliv- ered and when it isn't. So I gen- erally go trudging down to the road to make sure anyway --. we don't take any chances on miss- ing our mail if our youngsters are away from home, we, Mothers? i Well, I was sort of caught nap- ping Labor Day week-end. I thought about the holiday too late. By the time I went shop- ping for extra supplies there was hardly a thing to be bought any- where. And then RQaughter phoned that she would b& home for the week-end! And «\ dear, it was go hot and sticky during those few days that even the bread I did have went mouldy. But we man- aged, and we had one grand visit. Tuesday night I took Daughter OH-OH!

We have had a car for a good many years now and I still marvel at what can be done with it. Take Tuesday, for in- stance. We left home just as Partner was going to the barn. . He had horses and cows to get in, chickens to feed and cows to 'milk, 'and yet before he was up from the barn I had-been almost to Toronto and- back--approxi- mately fifty-six miles, and at no --time-was-I going more than thirty- fives miles an hour. On the road we passed no less than six cars with tire and engine trouble. I imagine there were other folk who were marvelling at what a car could do, but possibly not in the same way as I was!' After the week-end was over that left mé& with just one day in which to get ready for a birthday party that I was giving for our Women's Institute to celebrate its tenth anniversary. And I can tell you I made the dust fly that day! It was a wartime party--a sort of Red Cross quilting bee and tea party combined. I had three quilts set up and every woman was set to work as soon as she. arrived. Of course our menfolk always say "a quilting party is nothing more than an excuse to get together to gossip! Well, I must admit tongues were wagging --I think we discussed everything from Italy's surrender. to baby diapers. Yes, there was fun and laughter, and questions - about where our boys were. and how they were getting along. time to exchange summer, Two quilts were finished and the third one nearly done, and during a brief busines meeting it was decided that we would fill twenty ditty "bags for the Navy League. So whatever the men may say I think we managed to put in a pretty good afternoon's work, What do you.think, ladies? Harvest work is not yet com- pleted in this district. We still have our barley to get in and some of our neighbors have theirs 'to cut. The ground is very hard and dry--so6 dry chat very little wheat has as yet been sown. Farmers are worrying already about what to feed their stock next winter. Yes, I know there is Western grain that we are urged to buy, but the farmer who. has to buy grain isn't likely to have much for all his work when his 'egg and milk cheques come in, "And dear help. the farmer who has to buy a cow!

"For verily I say unto you. Till, heaven-and earth pass away, one Jot or one tittle shall in no wise TZ oC ' pass away from the law, till all things be accomplihhed." The ex: pression 'one jot or. one tittle' has been aptly ,compared to our inglish saying,--the dot of an 'I or the cross of a 't". "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, _and_shall teach men so, shall be called least in the. kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall -do and teach them, he shall he called great in the kingdom of heaven." It a man teach that's any command. nient of God is untiportant, Dos- sibly behind his teaching- is the fact that he himself is breaking that commaiidment. No man teach- es a commandment with power it he is breaking it in his own life.

Disobedience to these laws means sin in the sight of God. "The young man saith unto him, all theso things have 1 observed what Jack I yet?"
