Candlemas Day returned to farm fol-ks in the turning of time, this week. to flood the morning hills with the gdld of sunlight, ‘Tm ihlﬂkllﬂ" James said when we spoke of this "Spring won't come a day too early this year!" while another visiting farmer offered as his opinion on the subject of Ermlﬂdilwg day "Time will tell!" And very pleasant our days have been, though taken up only with an ordinary round of household cares- meals on a table dishes to wash, lbeds to make. floors to sweep, loaves to bake. lads to tend, bumps to kiss, prayers to hear. As Edna. Jacques has it "all the little things, that added up together mean so much" glorified for us. if we will, in the spirit of the doing, though sometimes lightly regarded in the very familiarity. and among the items often "taken for granted."

We take for granted hope and faith and joy.

A friend's fine loyalty in times of need;

A little field spot, lighted by the sun:

The sealed eternal wonder of a seed.

We take for granted all the ltttle things

That added up together mean so much:

A golden fire burning on the

hearth,

Whose very stones reflect iove's healing touch.“

During the winter of i791 areal numbers of these animals were slaughtered in l-iiilsboro Bay where the tide kept open water. On ail- other occasion, the animals were forced to take to the ice when a sudden cold snap closed the chan- nal. This so confused the seals that instead of making towards the gulf over the ice. they started travelling inland. The settlers hear-
