In the palace in Amsterdam,
formerly the town hall, a ‘guide

{pointed out the room that once

had been the Debtors’ Court.
“The first debtor whose .troub-
les were aired in that room,”’ said
he, ‘‘was the painter, Rem-
brandt.’’ ;
Whether’ that is an accurate
historieal statement or not, there
is no doubt about what happened
to poor Rembrandt. |
His fine home went under the
hammer; the beautiful collection
of his own paintings and other
works of art was scattered. bring-
ing only about two thousand
dollars. Stripped of everything,
even his table linen, the greatest
genius Holland has produced
found refuge in a shabby tene-
ment in the ghetto,

Today the finest square in Am-
sterdam is called by his name,,
and his statue stands in the center
of it.

The biographies of, the world’s
benefactors are only too often
very painful reading. Howe, the
inventor of the sewing machine,
attended his wife’s funeral in
borrowed clothes.

He had lightened the labor of
millions of women, but the world
would not give him even a decent
suit. in which to mourn for the
woman he loved.

We boast of the Yankee genius
Fulton, but no words sounded in
his ears more often than the
derisive phrase ‘‘Fulton’s Folly.”

Truly and scornfully it was
said long ago:

‘Ye build the tombs. of the
prophets and garnish thé sepul-
chers of the righteous, and ye
are the children of them which

We areall descendants of those
who failed to recognize the great
spirits of their generation. All
too tardily we seek to make good
their neglect by erecting statues
and establishing holidays.

Meanwhile there comes to my
office a boy who wants a job; or
a girl with a gift for music, and
no funds, goes to work in a de-
partment store; or a lad who
needs just a little help crosses
the path—and we are busy ‘with
other things.

They may not be geniuses. The
chances are one in several million

The redoubtable Telkwa foot-
ball team met its Waterloo at
Prince Rupert last week, being
defeated by Ocean Falls, 4-1. and
by Prince Rupert, 7-1. The de-
feats, however, seem not so tre-
mendous when the true facts are
known. The Telkwa team was
severely weakened by the absence
of Noonan as goalie and D. Mc-
Donald as center-half, | Chettle-
burgh still being convalegcent
from a recent illness, was unable
to play. The changes necessitated
left weak spots and the opposing
teams plaved to these, Then
again, the fiéld was one of those
hill and dale affairs, and only
those fully acquainted with its
characteristics could play upon
it to advantage. However, even
in defeat the-Telkwa boys were
victorious inasmuch as again and
again they drew the applause. of
the spectators for their gameness
and the way they forced the play.
The opposing teamg were quite
thankful when the whistle sound-
ed for full time.”

The spirit of the times was
manifested on Tuesday, when the
Ladies’ Aid of the Union Church
and the Women’s Auxiliary of
the Anglican Church held a joint
meeting to discuss ways and
means for holding a real old Har-
vest Home Supper and 'Thanks-
giving service. The service will
be held in the Anglican Church
and will be followed by. the sup-
per in the Union Church and the
evening will be concluded by a
community social. .

The local troop of Boy Scouts
will begin its fall wok this:week.

‘pared an extensive program and

at the same time. Saturdays
will be open for field work. All
Scouts are requested to keep
uniform in Al condition and to
wear them for field davs.
