PHONB 115w PLETCHBR JOHNSTON, EDITOR SUBSCRIPTION RATS $1.00 A YBAR Stratéard, October 12, 1928 THE CRAFTSMAMN'S CREED I believe in Work, I believe in doing the kind of Work that is of real Use. I believe that one of the best tests THERE ARE TWO SEAS-- There are two seas in Palestine. One is fresh, and fish are in_ it. Splashes of green adorn its banks. Trees spread their branches over it, and stretch out their thirsty roots to sip of its healing waters. Along its shores the children play, as children played when He was there. He loved it. He could look across its silver surface when He spoke His parables. And on a roll- ing plain not far away He fed five thousand people. The river Jordan makes this sea with sparkling water from the hills. of Whether Work is Useful or not is, that people are willing to pay money for it. I believe in Work that is of value to people now Living, that I am a part of this Generation, that I should serve my Contemporaries and _ co-operate with them, and that the best assur- ance that my Work will be appreciated by Posterity is that it is of practical worth Now. I believe that I have a right to ex- pect pay for my Work well, as the joy of good Work well done is the high- est form of satisfaction. I believe that the most depend- able kind of Happiness is that which is a By-Product of Work; that no Piay is worth while unless it refresh- es and restores the power and dis- position to Work; and that no Rest is Sweet unless it is earned by Work. I believe no man can do good Work unless he Loves it. I believe no man can do good Work unless he submits to training and practice. I believe that ail Work done in Love, and following training and practice, will be Beautiful. I believe that the perfectly Useful: is always Beautiful, and that whatever is Beautiful is Useful. I believe that no man lives unto himseif nor can do his best Work by himself, for he must learn of his Mas- ters, he must co-operate with his Fel- low Craftsmen and he must produce something that shall be valuable to the people. I believe in no Class, Party nor Privilege, but that very man should be judged by his Work, and that he is entitled to respect and position only by virtue of his Inner Character and his Outward Product. I believe that God is no idle King, seeking the adulation which kings crave, nor indulging in the petty pleas- ures of a monarch's vanity; but that Himself in the creation and continu- He is the infinite worker, expressing ous upkeep of His universe, and find- ing His joys in the forthputting of His almighty energy. I believe that I imitate Him, and am worthy to be called a Son of God, only as I also, in my small corner, do my Work and find joy in it. I believe every human being was born to do some kind of good Work, and that in doing it he finds his best excuse for living, and the most intelii- gent answer to the question, "Why Was I Born?" So it laughs in the sunshine. And men build their houses near to it, and birds their nests; and every kind of life is happier because it is there. The river Jordan flows on south into another sea. Here is no splash of fish, no fluttering leaf, no song of birds, no _ children's laughter. Travellers choose another route, un- less on urgent business. The air hangs heavy above its waters, and neither man nor beast nor fowl will drink, What makes this mighty differ- ence in these neighbor seas? Not the river Jordan. It empties. the same good water into both. Not the soil in which they lie; not the country round about. This is the difference. The Sea of Galilee re- ceives but does not keep the Jord- an. "or every drop that flows into it another drop flows out. The giv- ing and receiving go on in equa} measure. The other sea is shrewder, hoard- ing its income jealously. Tt will not be tempted into any generous impulse. Every drop it gets, it keeps. The Sea of Galilee gives and liy- es. This other sea gives nothing. It is named the Dead. There are two kinds of people in the world. There are two seas in Palestineg.-- By Bruce Barton.

GUARANTEED WATCH REPAIRING 14144 DOWNIE STREET The Store With a Heart LET'S GO This was the heading of one of Mr. Kennedy's editorials a few weeks ago. It brought to my memory Sundays of early days; brief worship before break- fast, usually just the reading of the Sunday School lesson, morning ser- vice to which we all went, then our Sunday School, and then, oh wonder- ful hours to be remembered, a walk in the garden with Mother and Dad, looking and talking about flowers we saw every day of our lives but not with Mother and Dad. Then the reaq- ing of something agreed upon by all of us and a chat in which all shared, and then the evening prayer when God was thanked for His given day of rest and the pleasure we had had in it. What a memory to carry down through the years, to model our own homes upon and that was the average home in those days, where now it is only the exception. Let us give our children memories like this to cling to, to refresh them when days of trial and worry come. FO MON.,"" FOR YOUR Plumbing REQUIREMENTS Phone 473 Eavetroughing a Specialty J. E.

Therefore, we THE MIRROR Walter Murray, nationally known decorator has laid down a set of rules, for deciding the proper rug to select. His advice, which may be of value, is: "Commencing with the floors, the colors found in the more important areas of the room should ascend up- ward in the color scale. If such a subtle plan may be expressed by rule it is as follows: "The floor itself should be the darkest color in the room. "The baseboard and other wood trim should be lighter than the floors. "The upholstery of furniture shouid be \ighter than the floor ocy- erings. "The background of the wall cov- erings should be lighter than the walipaper or wall color. "The ceiling should be lighter than any other tone in the room. No bright sunny room should be furnished with a carpet in which warm tans and golds and rose tones prevail. In the cool, dull room, blue, green, purple, blue grey should be avoided. The feeling of warmth and cheer can be brought into a room by floor coverings and drap- eries to sucr an extent that the occu- pant will experience an_ entirely different sensation in the room from that which was previously created. "The science of physics teaches us that light colors produce a feel- ing of size and dark color gives the appearance of smallness. It is for this reason that the large woman who knows the value of color al- ways prefers black, for it apparent- ly reduces her size. Therefore, in carpeting small rooms, keep the floor covering as light as is consist- ent with the atmosphere, of the room. By a light color is meant any of the taupe tones which, by the way, are very different in the effects they produce. There is a grey taupe containing much blue and a_ rose taupe in which there is a great deal of warmth. An area of 12 x 14 feet, Carpeted in a taupe wil appear con- : than the Same area carpeted in a deep raisin or egg plant color. The combination of colors in the rug will be the model from which to work out the room. For purpose of illustration, let us use in our cool room the tan color scheme and employ various shades of this tan in such areas as daven- port and chairs. In this rug we dis- cover notes of rose and buff as well as blue. There is more rose than shall _ select rose for our drapery color, for rose is a warm color and our room needs varmth. For that reason we could Se the blue, except as_ color We should have employed for our draperies any of the warm colorings that were found in the rug, such as the gold, which is a very popular color for draperies, gr the warm buff tones, which light up beautifully. Draperies in combina- tions of colors are preferable to those of one color only. Harmcnizing Draperies "From the rug, the color scheme for the draperies may be selected, or we car choose the rug to _har- monize with the draperies when they have been previously chosen. The rule to follow is that the pre- vailing color of draperies should be repeated in the rug, or vice versa, though whether in large or small quantities will depend upon whether or not that color, being warm or cool, is needed in the room. The less important colors in draperies should also be in the rug, as, for instance, in the border or elsewhere in more or less conspicuous quan- he Ea tities. It is always safe to have a large quantity of neutral color, such as tan, grey, or the various taupes, in a rug, because that will allow a wider scope for change in color scheme of draperies when new ones are needed."
