1i; is an old. old question:

Itwagchman. what of the night?"

gut, it is strictly up to date. In every dark period men have asked and often the question in its intensity rose to a challenge.

Never did people ask this ques- lion more earnestly than they do now. Men feel that life is mean- ingless without hope; why toil and fight if our effort cannot but end in failure?

Again and again events have shown that the darkest hour is Just before dawn. and so it hap- pens that when our outlook seems hopeless men have scanned the horizon most eagerly watching for was of the dawn.

we are living in a dark hour- nar after war. and still no sign of Peace. How pitiful the slogan: "A war to end war" now sounds in our earsl Yet our own men died by thousands to realize that dream. We who knew them and encouraged them cannot believe that they died in vain.even though their objective has not yet been reached.

"The morning comes" was one answer to that ancient cry, and man now we see signs of the dawn.

one sign of a brighter day is the new sense of social responsi- iiiiity. some of us remember too vividly a business depression in the first decade of this century vihi-ii not a dollar of public money i-as available to provide the barest nrI'PSSiil9S of life for our owit des- imite people. Governments. Dn- nuiilon. provincial and municipal alike. had other uses for their ftznds. Every need had to be met, as far as it could be met. by vol- irrtary subscription and organisa- l.lnl'i

The first advance was our sys- tom of relief. Often it was woe- ttzlly mismanaged and did more harm than good: nevertheless. it. was 51 real advance. The resources rat the nation were laid under tri- hufe to provide for the needs of those who could not provide for themselves.

New Distribution

Next, there has arisen the idea n! the welfare state. A famous Canadian writer visited Great Britain when men were being re- rrulted for the First World War. and after his return wrote aburn- mg comment. on "the sheer iil-be- mg” of great numbers of men who volunteered. In that time the wrosperous of the land and other lands recognized and deplored the poverty of the masses. and orgaii- izcd charities on a large scale. but no one felt that anything could be done about the sources of the trouble. Multitudes were underied and wretchedly clothed and shei- lered and no one among them or above them saw any hope for the nation as a whole. Yet at that i.'mc many were living in luxury.

Now in Britain whatever 'Z'ere is is equally divided. No one riarves while others feast. Crlticizc licr economic condition and polic- ie:: as we like. the fact remains that the evil conditions of ffiyears no can never return. Even in our

Tlie Mary Miilairauxiiiary held an open mectzin-g on Sept. 10th in

the llcartz Memorial Hall. Miss itnul Moi-son. presiding over the iiwurslilp service. was assisted b.Y

Mrs J. T. Irwin who led in prayer. and by Mrs. Ashford who gave. the meditation which was based on Matthew 6: 25 to 34. super- ficially there seems to be conflict hriwren the ideas of the fowls of the air and the lilies of the field iahiiti: no thought for the marrow. and the busy ant industriously providing for her future needs. There is no contradiction. Taking thought for the marrow means ll" tying about the future. thus

.-.iiig lack of trust in God. Hon- rv uork. on the other hand. is al- liais commendable.

The guest speaker was Mrs. TIM: C. Eaton. who spoke on the Hblect of temperance.

The following quotation was used It the beginning and end of her arid :5: "Every home is a brick ill I 9 great wall oi decent living that men have erected over and Iiwr again as a bulwark against lfie Derpctual flooding of evil; but inc women make the bricks. and lilC durablcness of each civilizat- Wl depends upon their quality."

western lands. with our rugged individualism. the welfare of the people is the first claim on the resources of the nation and in a thousand different ways there is a new distribution of the country's wealth.

Now. wonder of wonders. this sense of responsibility for condi- dons is being felt on a world scale. Observers are drawing at- tention to the fact that the vast majority of the human race never know what plenty means. that children by the million go hungry to their beds. if beds they have. and that their parents face each new day utterly unable to provide for them.

To Counter Communism

Now Communism offers them immediate relief. It is only a pro- mise. and one which they have never been able to keep. but they repeat. it. everywhere. expecting to bc believed. If a drowning man will grasp at a straw. starving multitudes can be counted on to turn in any direction where food is to be found. And free nations are driven to recognize that the only way by which the progress of Communism can be. checked is for strong nations. as nations. to come to the help of the weak. Which is to say that wealthy nations are. being scourged into doing what they refused to do under the had- ership of love.

This has always been Cl-rist's message to mankind. The Son of God could not enjoy the glories of Heaven while men were perish- ing in their sins. and came down to our low estate in order to lift its to the glory to which Ht: be- longed. The salvation which He brought to His followers He coni- manded them to share with all who would listen to them.

with all its necessities and mis- takes. What we have we owe. Say: St. Paul: "I am debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians. both to the wise and to the foolish". St Peter has written: ”Accordingly as each has received a gift. minis- tering it among yourselves. as good stewards of the manifold grace of

God." Or Shakespeare: "Heaven doth with us as we with torches do. Not light them for themselves:

i'or if our virtues Did not go forth of us. 'lwere all alike

As if we had them not."

The nations have followed their own wisdom in the past, and it. has brought. them to the verge of .i-uin: now they turn to Christ. H.- alone points the way to life. What has always been spiritual ideal is now becoming national policy. There is a better day dawning be- cause the nations are turning to the Sun of Righteousness.

Strange But True

I An old man died in the Massa- chusetts state prison. He was 76 years old, and had spent the best years of his life behind prison bars. His wife had done time there too. and so had his seyen sons and one daughter-a case of char- acter inherited. . The Indians to whom Columbus first applied for a supply of pro- visions refused them. rortunatekv for the great discoverer. an eclipse took place and 4" taking advantage of this told the Indians they would all be destroyed. They gave large supplies and everybody was happy.

some people are always out of sorts. -The weather is not always just what they want. which re- minds me of the following rhyme: "As a rule a mans I. fool, When it's hot he wants it cool: When it's cool he wants it hot. Always wanting what is not."

Alexander the Great had a sol- dier in his army who bore his own name. but was ii big coward. The Emperor said to him one day: "Either change your name. or learn to honor it."

M. Foscue. the French million- aire miser dug a hole in his wine cellar so deep that he had to use a ladder to get in and out of it. That's where he hid his wealth. At. the entrance was a door with a spring lock. Suddenly the old miser disappeared. He couldn't be found, so at last, his house was sold. The buyer. upon remodeling it. discovered the secret cave and the dead body of Foscue lying be- side his treasure. He had eaten the candle and gnawed the flesh on both his arms.

Of all the adult criminals in our penal institutions not three in a hundred have entered on a life of crime who have lived an honest life up to the age of 16; almost all who enter a course of crime do so between the ages of it and 16.

A pretty superstition among the St-naca. Indians is. when a maiden dies. they imprison a young bird until it is old enough to fly. and tiien showering it with kisses and caresses. they loose its bonds over the grave in the belief that it will never rest nor close its eyes until it has flown to the spirit-land and delivered its precious burden of affection to the loved and lost.

Big Construction Jobs In The U.S.

The successful life story of a former Islander is contained in an article in a Texas paper. He is Mr. .l.N. (Jacki McPhee. only son of the late Malcolm L. and Mrs Mc- Phee of Heatherdaie. some thirty years ago. when he was sixteen years of age. he moved with his parents to Massachusetts. but Mr. and Mrs. McPhee later returned to the old homestead where they passed away.
