-Trifles rnaise perfection but xi-fection is no tzifle" -- an old mvihg, well-worn but everlasting- v'gugge!l.lVC. Morley Punshon. a 3i-cscher of note in other days. ,..c.. said. "A fnlilns scale. I ioatiiiglog. a kettle singing on me mg .. trifles all. But turn "on mm the mighty power of mind. my; what then? The failing apple mggesls to the scientists the law 3: gravitation: the floating log assures the navigator that ind is near: the singing kettle suggests in the inventor the power of S.,.,,..;' The value of anything is not determined by its size. but by what the mind sees in it. and from may viewpoint. everything that (my has made has its worth to the soul.

These are disturbing days for mu j.nung people. The world is in 3 icrment. Everything is in the mciimg-pot. Nothing seems so- rlm, young men see Ill their 'll.'ll1S for their future threatened L, izie danger of war. and the girls ivhoiii they have married or in- imd to many -are more upset than .i,,-.; 1n a. college publication there .....; ll review recently of the Big Tm.-,gs of our time over which rlri have no control but which l'llFl'lLlC0 our future. and the writer -Mr-(1, "I have found a dell” 0' lilllllly in turning back to the 0 Things and the Individual. - is it sphere in which we do

r.'iiF'l'illy over these small things 0. N131-yday me, we find ourselves :1-miing strong enough to face the hr icr problems."

'rhmighi.s like these tum the at- irniioii of the student of the New Tesiameii to the emphasis which .l9S'lS lfll on little things. It sur- pri.-es one to see how frequently He drew attention to them. For example, "For GVCTY idle" W0” that men shall speak they Shall giic account in the day of Jud!- mmii." one day when Jesus was watching rich men casting their gins into the temple treasury. I-le ll(lllt'i'(l a poor widow putting in nu. mites. and commented. "This pa... widow has cast in more than Iiicv all. They. out of their super- iiuity gave their gifts, but she out n! hrr want. has given all that she had. even all her living." "The lfiiicdcm of God is like a mustard st-vii, the smallest of garden seeds. hill iihcii planted Erows until it iiemmes the greatest of herbs." 0ili'C ii-hon Je.sus' own follower! ivcrn iiirning the little ones away from Him. Jesus rebuked them. ivcirniiic:i the clllldrcn. and added, "wlmm-cr does not receive the Kiiicrlmn of God 9-9 I Child lhlill mi ciiicr it." There are many zimi-r .2.-iyings to the effect that oi-erg-tiiiiig that concerns us is iiiipnrirint to the great Lover of thc souls oi men.

One of the wonders of modern sriciiiiiic discovery is the power latent in the atom. Astronomers eitii their new ginnt telescopes llill'P revealed expanses in the ii arena that dazzle our imagina- iimi. hut research has lair: bars as great wonders in the atom, an obicct so small that it is invisible in the naked eye.

Jxsus dealt repeatedly with the treat issues of the Kingdom 'of God and He endowed His disciples liilll power to deal with them. but lic insisted that their reception arid exercise of the power of His Holy spirit depended on their mastery of the little things in their secret lives and personal re- hiionships. Paul was by far the ni:.:hticst of the apostles. but he

felt keenly that he could never ex- ercise the powers of the spirit un- less he brought into subjec tun the instincts and passions of the flesh. Once. when com, tug Christian service to a contest. he said: "Every athlete exercises self- oontrol in all things . . I pommei my body and subdue it. lest. after preaching to others. I myself should be disqualified."

There was once a noted spiritual leader booked to address a con- ference in England on the attain- ments and opportunities of the Christian life. As they neared their destination his wife made some little mistake in helping him on with his coat. and he mapped sharply as if her hat pin had scratched his ear. Just behind them sat a woman who was Icing to the conference with high ex- pectancy. but when she heard that outburst over a trifle, she felt that that men could have no message for her. He might be very learned and wise. but when he was failing to control himself. he could never unfold to othersithe secret of vic- tory. Just as an atomic explosion is set off by an infinitesimal key so the powers of God in the hum- an soul can be possessed and re- leased only by lives in which every secret thing is governed by divine love.

It is a perfectly natural law - the greater the power the more important are the little things in our use of it. The other day a morning paper had this headline: "Thirty second error means youre five miles off course." The corru- pondent went on to say that they are training perfectionists in navi- gation of the air. Centuries ago Jesus trained the men who were to become God's instruments for His mighty works to watch similarly the trifles within and without. "Take heed that one of these little ones." He warn- ed. The first chapter of the Set- mon on the Mount closes with these words: "You, therefore, must be perfect." This is our aim and

our saviour is committed to its ultimate realization. We recall Paul's reaction to this call: "Not

that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I prus on to make it my own. because Christ has made me His own." Never despise the little that you have to offer to Christ. so often Christ's people shrink from ser- vice because there is so little that they can do. They would love to do for Him the great things done by those who command the world's attention, but the best they are able to offer is not worth while. They must bear in mind that it was the one-talent man who hid his talent in the earth. The gifted orator or musician is never likely to neglect his gift. There is too much joy in excelling and too strong demands for his contribu- tion. It is the one who can speak only without hesitation or play and sing only indifferently who feels his gift unworthy of cul- tivation. Yet there are a million

calls for the ordinary to one call for genius, and no service honestly given is insignificant in Christ's sight.

If you have but little to offer bring it to Christ for His use. when Jesus faced a hungry crowd the only food available was a boy's lunch of five cakes and two sar- dines,- trifies in comparison with the need of 5,000 men. But the Master's word was. "Bring than to me," and with His use of them there was enough for all and to spare. so offer what you have to Christ and He will use it for the ends of love and you will be bless- ed in the using.

Canada has a National Parks Act requiring that all parks shall be maintained and made use of so as to leave them unimpaired for the use of future generations.

People are no longer satisfied with the earnings of honest indus- try; but they want to get-rich- quick so that they can keep up with the Joneses. This desire of- ten leads to gambling. betting. swindling and so on. one sees it in the streets. in business, at fairs. etc. This get-rich-quick desire is the prevailing sin of modern socie-

The queque or pig-tail worn by male Chinamen until the begin- ning of the present century was really a badge of servitude placed upon them by their 11th century conquerors. the Manchus. The in- vaders issued an edict that every man and boy among their subjects should shave the whole of his head except a small patch on the crown from which sprang the pig- taii, Queques are now taboo.

. . . Switzerland has more glaciers than other European countries.

The largest of these is the Aletsch. 50000 sq. miles in extent , and a glittering gem when seen under the sunshine: Blue, green and dazzling sliver-white, it presents a beautiful sight with its jewel- like colors. To protect themselves from u....v-blindness, one of the dan- gers of Arctic life. the Eskimos still use a rather ingenious eye shade made of hollow pieces of wood with narrow slits over each

Where did that word "taboo" come from? It's a Polynesian word and perhaps the only one found in the English language. The ori- ginal form was tabu and meant both sacred and touchable. The primitive Polynesln was confront- ed by many tabus brought into being by their priests. For exam- ple. the body of the chief himself was taboo, and it was a sin for a layman to touch his body. Also the harvest was taboo. until the chief took what he wanted. And believe it or not, these strange people have women chiefs no taboo on the Polynesian ladies.

on the Island of Samoa stands a. monument erected to the mem- ory of him who wrote "Treasure Island." and concocted the grip- ping tale of Long John Silver and Old Pew.

We often hear that "knowledge is power." but we never hear that ignorance is power. And yet ig- norance has always had more power in the world than know- ledge. I make this statement be- cause knowledge. as yet. has at- tained access only to the minds of the few. Not until the masses be- come thoughtful and wise. will knowledge obtain the ascendancy over ignorance. Give the masses imowledgs through better educa- tional facilities and even wars may disappear.

There is one thing that may be said of Benevolence-that it never ruined anyone, though so-if hneas and dissipation have ruined thou- sands.

The poor are often the happiest people one can meet -- far more than those whose tables groan un- der rich foods. but though they may be envied their apparent hap- piness. no we will be found will- ing to take their place. I am most fond of reading Moore's story of the over-fed Intern despot, who sent one of his subjects to travel through the world, and when he found the happy mortal his orders- were to sells the person and bring him back to the Oaliph.
