Dear Young Folks: This month we haveeone of the most interesting and vital topics for study namely, "Alcohol as a Medicine?" Pages 13-16. One im- portant fact that. we have learned is that alcohol depresses rather than stimulates the heart. - Fdbruary is the month oi hearts, which is a good time to have a Valentine Party. Your study period could be worked in nicely as a panel discussion as suggested below and would be quite suitable as part of yam" party programme, also the follow- ing suggested contest. with every good wish to you in all your plannings for "a good time with a purpose." Grace ‘Fulton.

OUR. BEIDVED EDNA GRANT!

We value this message from our Field Secretary in this time, of anklgty about. her health. and all across Canada friends are think- ing of her in love and prayer. hoping that means for her recov- ery may be blessed with power t0 help and cure her, and that Edna may be not onlv supported by strength not her own. but con- scious of constant Divine support. and guidance.

A haemorrhage at the back of her eyes has weakened her sight so that a period of rest is recom-

mended. Before this aooears in- prlnt we hope for marked im- provoment

Urges Seeing-aye School In Canada

VANCOUVER, March 4 — (C?) -- A school in Canada to train “seelng-oye" dogs was urged by Mrs. Lorna Barclay, former home tcacher of'thc Canadian Institute for the Blind. in an address here. She said few 0f the Dominion! 15,000 blind can nlford to import the trained United Slates dogs. "It. costs Canadian blind people $560 for a "seeing-eye" dog from the United States," she said, "while United States sigillless citizens can get them for $150 and pay only $50 for a replacement where that is necessary. There is no special provision for replace- ment ln the case of Canadians." Hcason for the dlfierence in cost was the fact that the training school in Morrlstown, N. J.. was heavily endowed so far as Ameri- cans were concerned. It costs $1,- (IXI to put the German Shepherds through their nine-week ‘training course.

‘These dogs, like my Nikki, give blind people a great feeling of independence and make them feel like normal human beings. . .It would be a wonderful step forward if Canada could establish a school to train the animals.

Barabbas was the product of a harsh. superstitious age in the Near Exist. The Roman authorities, the Jewish Banhedrin and various revolutionary forces struggled for the upper hand while each wrestled with inner conflicts. Corruption was rife, hardships iticvotlsed steadily and everywhere people looked for a loader who would guide them to better times.

Friend oi John thc Baptist. of Judas Iscariot and of Prince Joseph 0f Arimathea, Barabbas himself dreamt-d of becoming sum a lead- er by "levelling." redistributing the wealth lmtil there were neither rich or poor. But his dreams proved as fruitless as the hopes Judas, the spice-teller, entertained of having all wrongs righted by “miracles?

Even n tender romance with the sister oi Joseph oi Arimaitxea. the gentlo Jerith whom Judas also loved, could not soften Barubbas’ grim bent toward violence. Nor could anything dissuade the mis- guided Judas lscariot from betray- 3115 his 10rd and then hanging hintseit‘. '

Alilough not a religious book in the usual sense, "The Robber" is a thoughtful and thought-pro- voking novel that will make good Lenten reading. An éarlier work 0t fiction by Mr. Brooker, "Thing of the Earth." rcceivcd the Governor- Gaticrais Award for Fiction, in 1936.
