only we kept our eyes open then too there are the eyes of the mind let us use both to make life fuller richer happier it was a quarter to eight as i came out of the apartment block where i live the night had been hot the pulses of a tired city throb bed slowly back to life birds chirp ed their morning matin a black squirrel loped across the corner of the street rarely have 1 seen one out so early the heat may have given him a restless night a child cried softly from an upstairs win dow hot weather is hard on the very old the very young i looked down the street towards the house on the hill the place where mr ilsley delivered his recent budget the quiet city at that early hour worried not in the least about taxes or governments at the moment it was undisturbed a milk wagon trundled along on rubber wheels three light trucks moved by on cross streets a boy passed on a bicycle there was a girl four blocks ahead she wore a yellow dress i wondered who she was and why she wore yellow thought vaguely too that i liked better the one who wore a white waist with a red and white striped skirt the stripes run ning diagonally downward i could see the toss of her head that may have influenced my judgment men are poor judges of the clothes women wear the pace quickened more traffic was moving 1 passed an elderly gentleman who walked slowly very very slowly i see him almost every morning summer or winter i admire the man who goes on work ing despite advancing years he feels happier idle men grow quick ly dull 1 feel sorry for the retired civil servant he is apt to lose his interest in life i met two elderly women one plainly dressed one carrying a pair of shoos they came i think from the early morning stall of the parliament buildings the tempo of life altered as i moved no wpeople were coming out of houses and apartments street cars sounded closer as i came nearer the heart of the city i looked up at the tower of the parliament buildings a niist was rising from the river at its back not high enough to cloak the clock in the tower sufficient to pro vide a background of haze for the buildings the mist stirred a strange nost algic memory i remembered the old farm home a heavy dew on the grass the sun shining across the hills a fog rising from the river a groundhog watching the new day in imagination 1 could hear his throaty chuckle as e took a fresh stance preparing to disappear into his den if i showed the slightest belligerent sign a street car clanged a warning note an auto was coming close be hind it as i crossed the street i made a quick instinctive move i must not think on city streets of open fields of ivtsswood trees or groundhogs or cows coming home to be milked these are happy memories they carry with them a reverence for the country and the people who live in it so in mem ory now and then i slip back home feel once more soft grass under bare feet smell the blossoms on the haw trees touch the water in the old swimming hole and awake to find myself still in the citv of ottawa son ox stkikk at dads bakery a report from pekin illinois that roliert dean and richard hansen are on strike against a small bakery owned by their father but relations between father and sons are amic able the boys memlers of an aki bakery and confectionery workers union on strike are using their spare time to paint and repair their fathers

attracted to the preaching of the christian mini sters about 1825 and recounts in his diary being called to pass through some severe trials of my faith referring in particular to a methodist quarterly
