Easter is essentially a time for
music and flowers, the message of
music was heard in solos and anthems
with the story of the Resurrection
ably depicted by the ministers of
their respective churches. Beautiful
lilies and gorgeous mixed Spring
flowers added their beauty to the
solemnity of the services.
TRINITY UNITED CHURCH
At both services in Trinity United
Church there were large congrega
tions present. In the morning, the
choir under the directorship of Mr.
Ewart Bartley, organist, presented a
beautiful anthem, “Awake Up, My
Glory,” with Mrs. Harold Uren taking
the solo parts exceptionally well.
The solo, “Come Unto Me,” from
Handel's “Messiah”, was very well
presented by Miss Mabel Clatk.
Mr. Bartley’s organ selections were
particularly appropriate. “The Res
urrection Morn,” by Johnston, was
brilliantly played. This was the vol
untary number. The pastor, Rev. C.
D. Daniel, gave two very eloquent
sermons in the morning. He spoke to
the children on “The Boy Who Dis
covered Spring,” ahd his main ser
mon, “They Found", were intensely
interesting. At the evening service
which was largely choral, the musical
offerings were very fine. The quar-'
tette composed of Mrs. Uren, Miss
Mae Waters and Messrs. Sommer and
S. Bagnall, sang “The Strife is O’er,”
by Mendelssohn, and “The Old Rug
ged Cross.” The anthem, “Open the
Gates of the Temple,” was well sung
by the choir. Rev. Mr. Daniel gave
an inspiring sermon on “The Easter
Lilies.” Mr. Bartley’s numbers were
“Lovely Appear Over the the Moun
tains,” and Hallelujah—“Mount of
Olives.” Choir processionals and re
cessionals added to the beauty of
both sendees.
The ladies of the choir appcareiLfor
the first time in their new black vel
vet caps with long silk tassels, which
the Woman’s Association assisted the
choir in purchasing.
ST. JAMES’ ANGLICAN
With the celebration of Holy Com
munion, which was fully choral at
seven o’clock, a.nu, beginning the
sendees for the day, and the rectoi,
Rev. H. E. Merifield, as celebrant,
Easter Sunday was truly a day of
] raise and thanksgiving in St. James’
Anglican Church. Never had the
church presented a more Easter-like
appearance. The altar with its beau
tiful new frontal, which was the gift
of the Women’s Auxiliary, and dedi
cated at the 11 o’clock service by the
rector, was additionally beautified
by the profusion of lovely calla lilies
and white carnations, and adorned
with two large ivory tapers in brass
candlesticks, representatives of the
humanity* and divinity, of Christ.
These were flanked on either side by
the candelabra each containing seven
tapers which were all lighted fcr
the services of the day. Easter lilies
were used in profusion in the chancel
and baptistry and memorial tablet
Holy Communion was again cele
brated at eigijt o’clock and nlso
in the morning service at 11 o’clock,
with the rector in charge. Rev. Meri
field gave a most inspiring sermon
at the morning service on the subject
“The Answer to the Cross,” which
followed a series of such addressas
during the Lenten season. la the
evening, another splendid sermon
was given by the rector on the sub
ject, "Resurrection.” W. H. Arkc-11,
lay reader, assisted at all services.
A beautiful feature of the evening
sen-ice was the lighting effects^when
only the gallery an^ baptistry lights
and candlelights were bsed at the ser
mon period, and the special lighting
arrangement in use at the Nors
worthy memorial window was most
effective.
The large choir, in charge of Mrs.
Edward Gilling, organist, sang special
Easter processional hymns. At the
eleven o’clock service a special set
ting of the Holy Communion, dedi
cated to the Venerable Archdeacon
Branch, master of the cathedral
choir, St. John’s Antigua, and don
ated by Dr. A. Branch, was used.
The anthem at the seven o’clock ser
vice was “The Magdalene”, with spec
ial hymn numbers being sung by the
choir during the Holy Communion
services. The anthem at the eleven
o’clock service was “Hail, Festal
Day,” with the men’s voices taking
the verse offerings, and in the even
ing, “O Death Where Is Thy Sting?”
was sung. the soloists for the day
were Mrs. Harold Wilson, Mrs. F. N.
Horton, Miss Edith Leigh, Miss Wini
fred Webb and Edward Washington.
The Easter hymn number front
the records in the tower prior to the
services and kindly loaned by F. S.
Newman, added to the beauty of the
services! which were attended by
largerrtfcngregations than for many
years.

ST. PAUL’S PRESBYTERIAN
At St. Paul's Church, the minister,
Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner, had charge
of both services. He presented very
fine messages symbolic of the day to
unusually large congregations. Wil
liam Sutherland, choir director and
James Deamude, organist, had pre
pared some beautiful numbers, in
which the choir rendered with all the
impressiveness and effect of which
finely trained choirs are capable. In
the morning the anthem was “Awake
Up My Glory,” Miss Marion Suth
erland taking the solo parts. “The
Strife Is O’er,” was also given by
the choir. Thomas Sutherland’s fine
voice was much enjoyed in his solo,
“Resurrection Morn.”
At the evening service the musical
numbers were “Rejoice and Be
Glad,” with Robert Paterson taking
the solo parts. The full choir also
gave Simper's “Him Hath God Ex
alted.” A male chorus also presented
a splendid number. The organist had
selected some very lovely numbers as
his voluntary and postlude contri
butions, namely, “Prelude in G
Flat,” “Dawn”, and Stern’s Postlude.
BAPTIST CHURCH
The Easter services in the Baptist
Church commenced at G.30 in the
morning, when a group of the mem
bers of the senior and intermediate
Young People’s Society held a Sun
rise Praise Service on the top of
Sharp’s Hill.
The regular services of the church
yrCre well attended and were made ,
especially enjoyable by the special
Easter music which was well rendered
by the choir. At the morning service
nine were baptized and during the
evening communion service ten were
leceived into thg, membership of the
church.
The Easter music included three
anthems. “Ye Choirsof NeW Jeru
salem," in the morning, and “Now
Is Christ Risen,” and “The Magda-
line.” in the evening. Carl Edmonds
presided at the organ.
The seAiecs were in charge of the
pastor, Rev. G. A. McLean, who de
livered splendid sermons during the
day, in the morning giving, “The
Resurrection” and in the evening,
“In Remembrance of Me.”
CHURCH of THE SACRED HEART
The celebration of Easter Sunday
m'this beautiful church was possibly
marked by greater impressiveness
i-nd solemnity than for many years.
Large crowds attended the solemniza
tion of high mass by Rev. Father
Fuerth, at. the eight o’clock service,
and received communion. A note of
mourning was dominant in all the
Good Friday services, the church
being draped in severe black and the
service taking the form of the mass
<.1* the pre sanctified. On Sunday, the
church presented an entirely differ
ent picture, when the beautiful flow
ers eliminated the sombre aspect and
with the sun shining through the
beautiful windows, the sight was a
joyous one. The choir rendered very
fine numbers, with Miss Mary Crow
ley at the organ. Father Scalisi had
tutored the male chbir in their rendi-
.tion of the mass, which tjiey sang
very well. Miss Margaret Copeland’s
lovely soprano voice was very pleas
ing in “Ave Maria.” As the offertory
was received, the children of Sacred
Heart School sang “Regina Coeli,”
showing careful instruction on the
part of their teachers.
Fathr • Fuerth delivered messages,
filled with joy and thanksgiving at
both masses, while Father Scalisi
celebrated the 10 o’clock mass.
PENTECOSTAL TABERNACLE
For the'past four weeks the Pente
costal Tabernacle has been under
going alterations designed to increase
the seating capacity and also to beau-
tify the interior of the building.
Lack of space and inadequate accom
modation have made these changes
absolutely necessary. Last Sunday
amidst a spirit of enthusiasm the
Tabernacle was re-opened and rc-
dedicated to;the great cause of the
Gospel and the salvation of souls
which is the end toward which every
effort is directed.
“Up from the Grave He Arosol”,
was the keynote of the day. That
song was indeed appropriate, first be
cause it was a re-statement of the
fact of the resurrection and also be
cause Easter was a new day in the
history of the Tabernacle.
One of the outstandinf features of
the day was the new record set in
the Sunday School when the attend
ance reached a new high mark
with 213 present This was an in
crease of 39 over the previous rec
ord, and the seeoril record made in
the last six months.; Splendid interest
and attendance marked the three
services of the day. The special
speaker was Rev.' D. N. Buntain of
Toronto, who is the) General Super
intendent of the ) Pentecostal As
semblies of Canada! His inspiring
| sermons will not soon be forgotten

Member of
The Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ Association
THURSDAY, APRIL 13th, 1938
“Spare The Rod and Spoil The Child
One afternoon while preparing an editorial, a
visitor walked into the editor’s office, and after the
usual friendly salutation, inquired what the next
editorial was about.“Sj>are the rod and spoil the child,’’ he was told.
■ There is nothing in that,” the visitor commented.
"1 never got a licking from my father.”
The obvious retort was: “Now if you had, a better
man you might have been.”
So far as our experience goes, it is unusual to come
across a man approaching middle age who has never
been spanked. If it was right that he should have
escaped the tawse. then he must have been a model
boy—or his father a man who believed other methods
more effective.
No philosopher has had so much influence on the
thinking-of the Western world as Solomon—leaving
asiefe the Divine, of course. No thinker or writer has.
swayed opinion so powerfully as has done the great
■solon of Israel. He must have had a marvellous exper
ience with children. The records tell us definitely
about his huge household of wives, but omit any cal
culations to the number of children in his nursery.
It would be interesting to know just how many he
had. We cannot tell, but it seems perfectly safe to
say that no man in mediaeval times, or since then,
has been the acknowledged father of so many young
sters as he must have had.
What did Solomon say? Here it is, plainly set out:
“He that spareth his rod hateth his son, but he that
loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”
There you are. If you are inclined you can call
Solomon's rod symbolical and take it that he meant
punishment in any form that that very wise man con
sidered most likely to be effective in correcting a
wayward child.
Without allowing ourselves to be mixed up in any
argument on the subject of parental disicipline in the
school or in the home, or getting into a discussion
upon the merit of this or that method in general or
what should be done in particular cases, there arc
some facts that can be cited from statistics which
show what happens when errant youth is not rigidly
disciplined O some way or another.
One OpinionA lifetime spent in the drygood* -business has convinced 83-year-o)d John Anderson, of Seneca FallsNew Jersey, that styles may change but women do not.
“I’ve been waiting on ’em since I was a lad of 15,”
says this Mr. Anderson, "and they’re just as fussy as
they were seventy years ago." He concedes, though,
that it is a little easier to wait on modern women,
chiefly because they wear less, and that ready made,
instead of shopping for dress goods as their grand
mothers used to do. “Back in the old days,” he re
lates "when a woman came in to buy dress goods- —
well, it was shopping, and no mistake. It required the
patience of Job to wait on her, and like as not she d
walk out in a huff without buying a thing, after she’d
seen everything in the store.”
Be Indulgent
If you are one of the many to whom driving is no
longer a pleasure, here is a hint that may be helpful.
Next time you start out on a trip, take that chip off
your shoulder! Leave it behind and take your sense of
humor along in its place. Promise yourself that yop
won’t let little things disturb you, and then see what
happens. If someone attempts to steal your right of
way, let him have it. Don’t yell at him, but smile
instead. Be indulgent, as you would be with the
small boy who reaches for the largest piece of cake
on the plate. A safe journey—and a surprisingly
pleasant journey—will be your reward.
THE D OCT OR
Tell* The Story
by W. E. AUGH1NBAUGH, M.D.
Dependency of Youth
A study of the earnings of Canadian wage-earners
in the last three decennial census years indicates that
the average young person on reaching the age of 20
in 1911 had earned twice as much as those reaching
20 in 1931. In the latter year the average accumulated
earnings of a person’s 'teens were equal to slightly
less than one year’s earnings of an adult male; in
1921 they had been the equivalent of 1.4 adult
years, and in 1911 had equalled two. The actual ac
cumulated earnings of young people on reaching their
twentieth birthday under conditions of 1931 were
|892, a sum sufficient to have supported them for
two years at the rate of $37 per month. It might
be said that they were independent on reaching the
age of 18 in 1931, the age of 17 in 1921, and 16 in
1911.
A comparison of school attendance records ;n the
same three censuses shows that the average child
spent two more years at school in 1931 than in 1911.
Whereas the child attended school for 6.58 full years
under conditions of 1911 (10 months’ attendance
being taken as a full year), he spent 7.53 years at
school in 1921 and 8.55 years in 1931. The same
two-year increase is evident in the census records of
the number of children attending school for some
time during the census years; the average ch’ld un
der conditions of 1911 was enrolled in school for
-7.96 years, for 9.13 years in 1921, and 9.89 years in1931. Thus,‘the two years of added dependency as re
vealed by earnings wer^ spent in school.In 1911, the age /(^Heaving school was 14.38, the
age for achieving economic independence 16 years.
.The former rose to 16.25 in 1931, the latter to 18
years. Thus, there has been a continuous gap of ap
proximately 1.75 years’between the age of leaving
, school and the age when the young person is able
to earn enough to support himself. School records of
age of pupils in the years since 1931 indicate that the
long-term trend is not yet broken. Pupils are re-
- maining in school up to still older ages. If the ten
dency continues unchecked, young people will in a
few years be dependent on parents at the age of
20.
SNAKES
The shortest chapter in any book is Chapter 27, of
The Natural History of Iceland and it reads:—“There
are no snakes to be met with throughout the whole
island.
So fearful were men of the slumbering venom of
the coiled snake, that at one time Iceland was selected
as alocation for a colony for those who feared ser
pents, and many men left otherwise comfortable
homes in Europe to be free of the dread of snake.-
and settled in this relatively bleak and desolate spot.*
Since the beginning of time men have feared
snakes, when as a matter of fact there are relatively
few snakes whose bites are ethal, and the snakes
found about farms and outhouses are the real friends of
mankind for they cat small virmin which ca~n year
would destroy crops, grain and other food.
Undoubtedly the most dangerous reptile in the
world is the mamba, a long, thin snake usually found
in Africa and Australia. Few survive its bite and if
we are to believe those who have had experience with
this slithery thing, it often seeks out its prey, with the
express idea of inflicting a lethal wound. Aborigines
and modem men dread to be in the regions where this
snake abounds.
One of the most remarkable stories about a mamba
is the experience of Carl von Hoffman, a member of
The Adventurers Club, who has spent much of his
time in Africa and encountered this vicious reptile
frequently.
In one of his hikes from Cairo to the Cape in
Africa, he heeded a dark room to develop his photo I
graphic plates, and owing to the intense brightness
of the sun, decided to dig a hole eight by eight feet,
in the earth, into which he could go by means of a
ladder and there do his work, after letting down a
trap dooripbove the opening in the ground. For weeks
he found his dark room all that could be desired.
One night while working there his foot touched
something, and thinking it was part of his photo
graphic outfit he picked it up and' turned his rays from
his red lanteri* upon it. To his great surprise he had
a mamba in his hand and in the corner were several
young ones, eqph about a foot long. Dropping the
thing he made a hasty exit from that improvised dark
room, and never used it again.
Evidently the coolness of the night in this deep pit
had rendered these snakes torpid, for they made no
effort to attack him. Carl’s hair is grey now and he
-says it was black before that experience.
TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker Stockbridge
HISTORY . . h.ppinbss
The only way to understand what
is going on in the world today is to
study what went on in the world in
the past. What we regard as “new”
problems arc really very old problems
indeed. Human nature has not
changed since the earliest recorded
times, and people acted from the
same motive a hundred, a thousand
or ten thousand years ago they do
now.
The only things that change are
the material environments with which
ve are surrounded. What every gen
eration regards as “progress" is the
effort, not always successful, to find
new answers to problems which have
baffled humanity from the beginning
of time.
The main problem which mankind
has always faced is how to live in
comfort and safety with the minimum
of labor. In our time we have come
nearer to finding the answer to that
problem than any people ever did in
the past.
But it is rather doubtful, it seems
to me, that with all our machines
and inventions we have found the
road to the supreme goal of life,
which is happiness. The ideal of
every social organization must be
the great happiness of the greatest
number of its members. We are still
far from that
DEFENSE . . . repetition
“This or any other nation, to pre
serve peace, must be ever ready to

terests and its honor.” That quota

yesterday. It was said in 1839, just
a hundred years ago.

Men With Wings
Nobody knows how long ago men first tried to emu
late the birds, but the dream of flying must have come
to many in the earliest dawn of human consciousness.
Among the ancient legends,that have come down
from the earliest times are mythical stories of men
who devised artificial wings and flew with them. The
Biblical concept of angels as man-like beings with
wings is almost as old as human thought. ’the
angel of ancient Scripture are superior to earth-tied
humans, for man", as we are told, was created “a little
lower than the angels.”
. With the inauguration of the regular trans-Atlan
tic flying service, the climax has been reached of man's
age-old dream of. flight.
In the words of the old hymn: "There, there, on
•agio's wings we soar.” Those^of us, that is, who are
fortunate’ enough and courageous enough to take
the 18-hour passagqpfrom 'New York tt> England in
• thb great new “Yankee Clipper,”x the largest and
inyst passenger aircraft .ever built.
, Carrying 74 passengers and a crew of ten, there is
•very reason to expect this great ship of the air to
perform as its dc^ig^ers and engineers expect it to.
Much, longer flights, and many of them have been
made across the) Pacific and are being made almost
with the regularity of railroad schedules.
But the Pacific^ as its name implies,Js a much
milder stretch of water than the North Atlantic.
Extraordinary precautions, we are told, have
been taken 'to <£uard against the unstable air condi
tions over the sea which Englishmen still refer to as
the "Western Ocean,” though it is eakt of any point
from which we in America view it
. Both American and British aviation companies are
ready to launch more across-Atlantic boats before the
coming Summer is over.
The new ships of the air are smaller than the Santa
Maria, the flagship of the little fleet in which Colum
bus made the first trans-Atlantic crossing 436 years
ago. But he took four months whereas the new
“Yankee Clipper” will literally enable its passengers
to eat breakfast on this continent and dine the same
day in England. And that seems to us to be something
wonderful.
LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS j
From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, |
Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, April 13th, 1916 |
The young men of Ingersoll and vicinity are doing
their duty for the Empire, 250 have already joined
the 168th, and 50 more recruits are (desired.
It was a source of deep satisfaction to Ingersoll
people to receive the announcement from Mr. Tomb,
of the Dominion Natural Gas Company, that in a
short time the natural gas supplied here will be puri
fied.
At a meeting of Lodge Imperial, Sons of England,
a silk Union Jack was presented to the lodge in be
half of the supreme executive. The lodge received the
flag as a mark of distinction for having initiated the
greatest number of candidates during 1915 of any
lodge of the order in Canada. Lodge Imperial was^
organized 23 years ago by Postmaster Bro. Joseph
Gibson. ”*
Ladies of St. James’ Church planned an enter
tainment with the Ingersoll Company of the 168th
Battalion as their guests on Monday evening. Those
contributing to the program were: Mrs. Ellis, Mrs.
Perkins, Miss Wood, Serg. Clarridgc, Ptes. Tupper,
Latford, Powell and Chas. Roberts, in vocal solos,
Mrs. MacMurray, a piano solo and a mouth organ solo
by Mr. A. Stanley. Rev. R. J. M. Perkins addressed
the audience.
An exciting contest between Ingersoll and Putnam
target shooters and bowling alley rollers, took place
at Putnam on Thursday night. Ingersoll were win
ners in the shooting while Putnam won in the bowling.
The teams: Ingersoll, Clark, Desmond, Murray, Bee
croft, Pearsall, Mayberry; Putnam, Calvert, Clenden-
ning, Wallis, IJuntley, Matthews, Morrison.
Mr. William Moran, aged 83, died on Saturday.
He was buried on Monday afternoon, interment being
made in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery. Rev. R. J. M.
Perkins, conducted the service and the pallbearers
were Messrs. W. J. McMulkin, Edward McMulkin, Sam
Nagle, George Naylor, F, A. Ackert and E. Reid.
Mrs. F. D. Canfield, Mrs. Sidney Sumner and Dr.
Wood are in London this week as delegates to the 29th

Maryland, pointing out that the European situation was far from satisfactory and the French fleet wasblockading the coast of South America, pointed out that “the best way
to preserve peace in this age, and
perhaps in ages to come, is to be
formidably prepared for war.’.’
What Mr. Johnson advocated was
the enlargement of the United States
Navy by building more steam ves
sels. He pointed out that there was
only one steam-powered craft in the
whole Navy, and expressed the belief
that steam had come to stay. The
old admirals of the sailing ships
didn’t agree, just as some old officers
of the Navy today think aircraft is
all nonsense.
N E W S ..............................................crisis
Anyone who thinks that world
conditions have changed greatly in
the past century might profit by scan
ning the papers of a hundred years
ago, as 1 have been doing lately.
One noted British journalist wrote
in 1839 that “At a period when our
country is threatened with hostilities
by more than one of the continental
powers it is worth while to consider
the state of our colonial possessions.”
That might have been written yes-
derday. .The English people were as
< concerned then as they are now, a
hundred years later, over the ever
present dangers of war.
Then, as now, the threat to Great
Britain was the loss of her colonial
possessions bordering on the seven
seas. “It is more than probable,”
the English newspaperman wrote,
"that the loss of several colonies
would be the result of those hostili
ties with which, according to the war
like preparations of the present min
istry, we are threatened.” That is
the major concern of the British
people in the present European crisis.
TRANSPORTATION . retarded
In 1839 the first proposal was
made in the Congress of the United
States for a canal across the Isthmus
of Panama. A resolution was adopted
instructing the President to consult
with other nations involved as to its
feasibility.
At that time the United States ex
tended only to the Rocky Mountains,
but had a gieajt shipping trade with
the Orient and ships had to make the
perilous voyage around the tip of
South America.
It was more than sixty years be
fore anything serious was done to
ward digging the Panama Canal,
more than 75 years before the canal
was finished.
Business, as usual, was a long way
ahead of government in 1839 in
promoting the use of new inventions.
In that year, when the Navy had
only one steamship, the legislature of
l.ouisiana voted to subsidize a cor
poration to build steamships to run
lines to Europe.
I have long thought that the most
serious result of the American Civil
War was that it interrupted rapid
expansion in foreign trade and gave
Britain a chance to displace this
country as the world’s carriers of
merchandise.
CHANGES . . - security
After studying pretty carefully a
file of old newspapers of a hundred
years ago 1 can’t see that there have
been any changes of consequence in
the outlook of the general run of
people. There is still, as there was
in 1839, a considerable number of
folks who want the' Government to
do something for them or their spec-
cial interests.
There is still, I am thankful to
say, a very large number of people
who don’t ask any favors.
The only fear I have for the fu
ture is that we may get so fixed in
the habit of expecting the Govern
ment to do everything for us that
we will be willing to give up our
natural liberties in exchange for
what seems, at the time, a greater
measure of economic security.
‘Going back into history a lot far
ther than a hundred years, I find
the records of many nations who
were sold on the same idea. The
only’ones that have survived are
those whose people woke up and
threw' out the governments which
undertook to tell everybody where to
head in. People have never gotten
anywhere but by individual hard
work and common honesty.

ONE YEAR!
L ocate
Including $50 First Prize af Orillia
• They’re a hard team to beat, these
Osmonds. Mrs. Bert has been famous
around Beaverton for years and daughter
Dora follows right in her mother’s foot
steps. Last year they won a total of twenty-
three prizes for baking and the big thrill
came when Dora captured the $50.00 first
prize for bread at a contest sponsored by
Robin Hood Flour Mills.
"We're particular about our flour.
“We tried about every brand of
flour there is before we dis
covered Robin Hood. But that
first baking with Robin Hood
was a revelation! Better flav
oured bread—better texture—
beautiful colour — and one
w'hole extra baking from a 98
lb. bag. Robin Hood was our
flour from -then on.”
W ith Robin H ood the
Osmonds have won prizes for
bread, chocolate cakes, angel
cakes, pies, shortbread and all
kinds of fancy baking. This
great flour milled from washed
wheat is All-Purpose—best for
says Mrs. Osmond
everything you bake. And in
every bag there's a guarantee
that if Robin Hood doesn't
please you better than any other
flour milled in Canada, every
cent you paid will be refunded
—with an extra 10% for your
trouble. Once again I urge you
—use Robin Hood and find
out how good a cook you
really are!

T H IS SH A PE
Millet, the French artist, son of a farmer and himself
a farm laborer, has in his universally known pictures
of—The Gleaners, The Man with the Hoe, etc., left a
very graphic record of forming methods and their
influence on farm workers of a century ago.
Edwin Markham, the American poet, viewing
The Man with the Hoe, interprets it to us with dramatic
force in his poem of the same name when he says,
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw,
Whore the hand that slanted back this brow,
Whore breath blew out the light within this brain.
Ringing out the challenge, he asks—"I, this the
thing the Lord, God made and gave dominion over
land and tea”, and calls on "Masters, Lord* ond
Rulers of all lands to straighten up this shape".
But each step in this great emancipation ha, come
by the introduction of some new labor-saving machine.

WOMAN AGED WITHSCIATICANow Praiaea Kruschen __When sciatica attacked this woman »ix years ago, she couldn't move
without great pain. Treatmgpt aftertreatment failed to help her. Shetried Kruschen and got quick relief.“Six years ago, I suffered terriblyfrom sciatica,” she writes. “1 triedeverything, gut to no avail. Then Itook Kruschen Salts. The first fewdoses gave quick relief. At the endof a few weeks my sciatica had gone.Now I always begin the day with apinch of Kruschen in a glass ofwater. I live a strenuous life, beingwidowed four years ago, and havinga son to keep. I run a boarding-house,rise at 6 a.m., and retire at 11 p.m.1 am 52, but everyone says I look. 42—thanks to Kruschen Softs. ”—(Mrs.) F.E*R.The severe pain which is charac

the sheath of the great sciatic nerve.Two of the ingredient salts ir. Kru
