It generally means rough going ov- er by~roads, delay and inconven- ience. The detour sign is unpopular in more ways than one. There can’t be many people who have not, at some time or other, come face to face with circumstances which forced them to change their plans and adapt themselves to new ways of living. We are thinking just now of a man we knew years ago. He was born in the north of England, the eldest in a family of six. They were poor people â€"â€" the father was a labourer in a stone quarry â€"â€" but what they lacked in wordly goods was made up in character; they were fine people and devoted to each other. This eldest boy, William, had shown unusual ap- titude at school and he was en- couraged to hope that some day he might be sent to a school of higher learning, something con- sidered a rare privilege at that time. Then something happened which dashed the boy’s hopes to the ground. One day there was an accident at the quarry and his father was buried beneath a load of stone; a few hours after he left home in the morning his lifeless body was brought home. William, who had hoped so much for his future, gen- tly put his arms around his moth- er and told her that, as far as he was able, he would take his fath- er’s place and help to care for his younger brothers and sisters. The next day he went to the quarry and never returned to school. It was my privilege to know William quite well. He never complained or indulgai in Self- pity, but throughout a long life he served as a Sunday School tea- cher, and because of his unusual intelligence and consecration to God he laid his hand for good up- on scores of young people who recognized the strength of his mind and the sincerity of his character. The Apostle Paul often had to make detours. For instance, he and his helpers wanted to go to Bithynia “but the spirit sufiered them not.” Paul had his plans but the door was shut on him and he was forced to go elsewhere.

Hooper ELECTORS OF VAUGHAN TOWNSHIP 221A; Yonge St., Richmond Hill lst Door South of Yerex Electric Probably he didn’t enjoy making that detour any more than other travellers do but somehow it turned out for the best. Paul spent several years in prison. 'His plans for aggressive missionary work were frustrated but he made the best of it. He said: “More gladly Will I glory in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” And remember, it wa‘h during these prison years that he wrote his im- perishable letters to the Philip- pians, Colossians, Ephesians and Philemon. If Paul had not been compelled to make a detour, it is unlikely we should have had these epistles. His activity as a prea- cher was halted so that he might enrich humanity for all time. There is no good reason why having to make detours in life should get us down. Paul was able to write: “I have learned in whatsoever state I am herewith to be content.” He was often' frus- trated but he refused to become bitter and rebellious. Of the friends who honour me by reading these little meditations, there must be many, even among the younger ones, who know frus- tration and disappointment. It is a universal experience and prob- ably our lives are richer for it. If one door closes another opens and who knows, the detour may be a blessing in disguise. In the seventeenth century, there lived in France I devout woman, Madam Guyon, who spent many years in a dungeon. But, even in bondage, she was cheer- ful end sang beautifully. Here are two verses written during her imprisonment: My cage confines me round, Almost I cannot fly; But though my wing is closely bound, My heart’s at liberty. My prison walls cannot control The flight, the freedom. of my soul. Oh, it is good to soar These bolts and bars above, To Thee whose purpose I adore, Whose providence I love; And in Thy mighty will to find The joy, the freedom of the wind. Our quotation to-day is by Jas. Allen: “Nothing remains unre- vealed. Some things are hidden for a. time, but they ripen and come forth at last.” AFTERNMN DR.AREHER"WALLAEE This Friday evening, December 9, is to be the closing meeting of the Y.P.S. for this year.

Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, business machines, etc. are reducing goods and services which earn dollars. These dollars rovi e food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which contr' ute to our security and high standard of living. Every single one of us, therefore, has a ver personal interest in the flow of a steady supply of trained workers to in ustrial plants. These workers will operate machines which are important to our way of life. We should a preciate, then, the co-o erative efforts of overnment, industry and abour in the field of emp oyee training. In so 0015 and in factories our workers,-young and old, are given the op ortunity to develop new and specific skills in every field of business an industrial activity. For instance, every effort on the part of office workers to become pro- ficient in typing, filing, shorthand and secretarial work, will mean greater business efficiencyâ€"will help to make Ontario a finer place in h'h li d w 1c to ve an workm‘n. THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) CANADIAN GIFT T0 COVENTRY CATHEDRAL More than $20,000.00 has been raised as a gift to the Coventry Cathedral by church organists in Canada, the provost of the Coven- try Cathedral, the very Rev. R. T. Howard announced recently. He said that money will go towards construction of a. new organ. The disastrous raid of November 14, 1940, destroyed the Cathedral ex- cept for the glorious tower and spire and base walls of the nave. Rubble has been cleared from the Cathedral ruins and the site is now laid out with lawns and rock gar- dens.
