001B6B58 THE WEST VAN NEWS June 18th. 1926. VetCranS HOld illCCt1llg The veterans met at their rooms on Friday night to listen to an address by Colonel Coote on the Canadian Legion. The Canadian Legion, stated the Colonel, is allied to the Brit- ish Semce League, which latter embraces aa service men throughout the Empire outside Canada, and is the strongest in the world. So far aa returned men throughout the Fraser Val- ley from Hope to Burnaby have become members. At the convention recenUy called at )Vlnn!peg fifty-two branches were represented. The object of the Legion is to strengthen aH the different ex- eemce organizations and then weld them into one body that shall embrace them all. This ac- complished, the Legion could send representatives or a dele- gation to Ottawa vvho would be listened to there from the num- ber of votes they would repre- sent. and from the fact that they would know what they wanted. Up to the present the diiferent organizations. as the Colonel re- minded his hearers, had not pre- served a united front nor had they joined together in a com- mon policy. He then went on to outline the conditions under which the Canadian Legion func- tions: (1). It is democratic. Gen- erals and privates rank as equals and have one vote each. (2). It is non-politicaL (8). It is non-eectarian. (4). Rien who have seen ser- cdce in any of the Empire'e cvare by land or sea are eligible. (6). Anv who have served their time in any of the regular forces or in the slounted Police or vvho have hsd six vears'er- vice in the Canadian hiilitia are eligible. (6). IVomen nho have serv- ed in the Red Crchae or St. John' Ambulance are eligible. (7). Women's auxiliaries may be formed. (8). AH members of ex-ser- vice lodges become members automatically. (9). Ilonorary and associate members are admitted under certain conditions. The Colonel concluded his ad- dress by urging his hearers to organise as soon as possible. It was then oved by Comrade Turner and eeconded by Com- rade Pollard that Comrade Wright be appointed Chairman pro tern, the motion being car- ried. Comrades Archer and Turn- er moved and seconded a motion which was also carried that ap- plication be made for a charter. It was decided that a mass meeting be helcl on Wednesday the 30th June, which it was hoped would be attended by every ex-service man in the dis- trict. Colonel Coote promised to be present and there will prob- ably be other speakers. Follow- ing a unanimous vote of thanks to the Colonel for hie address the meeting adjourned.

THE CHILDREN'S CORNER Perhaps, thought Rosepeter, if ehe asked her nicely and polite- ly Sfre. Smith would slap her, and then the horridness would go pmay, and instead of singing Ada Siary would find a chocolate bis- cuit. Slipping otf the window seat she ran down the garden path, raced along the road a little way, and then across a field by a nar- row path to Mrs. Smith's farm. The door was open, and Mre. Smith was in the back kitchen washing clothes in a big tub. Out of breath through run- ning eo quickly„aH at once Rose- peter felt shy and frightened. Mrs. Smith was a large red per- son, not at aH like Aunt Kate. and her hands were so big it was no wonder Bobbie cried when ehe whipped him! But. perhaps, thought Roeepeter, if the slaps were hard ones there need not be many of them. "If you please, sire. Smith," she said, holding out her arms bravely, will you slap me'? On both arms, please. Aunt Kate is ia, so she can't and Ada Mary mustn't--and there isn't nobody else--and I'e been bad and hor- rid; please, Mrs. Smith--" Nrs. Smith stood up straight and looked at Rosepeter, soapy water dripping from her hands snd arms. She was eo surprised ehe did not know what to eay, so she said nothing--only stared. Rosepeter grew more and more frightened. "Oh, please, Mrs. Smith, you did slap Bobbie; I know you did --and I don't like being horrid all the day till Aunt Kate's bet- ter. I want to be good again, and have a chocolate biscuit!" Rosepeter felt chokey and dreadful. Nrs. Smith wss just beginning to think of what to eay when somebody pink and pretty came along the path. A kind voice said, "Why. little (Continued from Last Issue) Roeepeter, what are you doing here'? And nearly crying, too; whatever is the matter?" And next moment Roeepeter was real- ly crying in the arms of Miss Winnie Morgan, the doctor' sister. Mrs. Smith, who seemed very pleased to eee Miss Winnie, kindly invited both her visitors to eit down in her parlour, and while ehe went to gather new- laid eggs for Miss Winnie, Rose- peter sobbed out her ead little story. "But I wish you would slap me, and not Sire. Smith," sbe finished. "Poor little Rosepeterkine!" said Miss IVinnie- "I think you have already been punished enough for this time. But don' you know, dear, that being slap- ped on our arms is only a pun- ishment and doesn't take away naughtiness? It can', because you see, the naughtinees is in- side ue and makes an ugly mark there that God sees and no one but God can make it go away. I know how you feel, though, be- cause whenever I'm bad I am ead until I'e told God I'm sorry and ask Him to rub out the hor- rid mark." Just then Sire. Smith brought the eggs, eo her guests said good-bye. Then Miss Winnie said to Rosepeter, "I'm coming home with you, dear, to ask if you may spend the day with me, as Aunt Kate is ia, and then we can have a long, long talk about these worrying things." So in the afternoon Roeepeter and Miss Winnie eat on a green seat under a big sycamore tree, and while scores of bumble-bees gathered honey from the pale green sycamore fiowers swaying in the wind, Mien Winnie told the little girl many things she had not been told before. She told her about God--that He is al- ways quite near, that He is so good naughtiness hurts Him very much, that He loves people so much He wants them to be like Himself. She told her too, that God knows how hard it is for little girls and boys, and for big people as well, to conquer bad things in themselves, such as temper, so He helps them if they ask Him; and He is always watching, and is ever eo pleased when they try to be good and very grieved when they do not. While Miss Winnie talked Rosepeter began to feel sorry in a new way, not for herself, but for God. "I didn't know!" ehe said. "Oh, I wish I hadn't thrown my shoes and made Him sorry I" "Dear Roeepeter," said Mise WInnie, "being sorry for our naughty ways is the beginning of being good." Then Miss Winnie told God Roeepeter was sorry, and asked Him to take away her badness. Afterwards Roeepeter felt won- derfuHy happy, and she and Miss )Vinnie, and the doctor's fat dog, Fluif, had a jolly game at catch- ings with a blue ball until tea- time. Instead of getting better Aunt Kate became worse, so Roeepeter stayed with Miss Winnie and the doctor till her daddy was wea, and he and her mother came and took her home, where roses, pink ones and white ones, peeping in at the windows, nodded their heads as though they were de- lighted to eee her. Our little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead is hardly ever horrid now; you see, because so many people are pleased and glad when she is good--mother, and daddy, and Mise Winnie; and Ada Nary, who is not needed by Aunt Kata now, so helps Rosepeter's mother. And there is God, who is most pleased oi'n. "The Little Girl Who Was Horrid" Hollyburn Pavilion lych snd marino Drive DA.N("ING EVERY bVEDNESI)AY AND SATURDAY S.SO Ce ii,SO ~ m.
