"A free msn is as jealous of his responsibilities as he is of his lib-

ics."

There are certain fields in which their extension is necessary. hut in a far larger number of (told! liberty has degenerated into l-ct-nse.

My liberties .are sharvly circum- scribed by the rights of others. In y-t- Royal Bank's monthly letter I tnrl the following: “There is con- (jg-t in individual liberties too. lire right of free speech does not _ ~v with it a license to slander;

SNOW GOOSE

Tho snI-xfllficcnt Greater Snow Geese are now in migsation. and nvzlit be seen any time until mid- November by those of us who live in eastern Canada. Their special picnic ground is at Cap Tour- incnte, not far below Quebec City, but a fow always stray from the ntnin flock and make their way up the St. Lawrence River. Soon ihcy will all head south, keeping m the Atlantic seaboard until they roach tho South Atlantic coast, where they will remain until spring,

And Life

own free will and with Paul's ap- proval he went back to his mas- ter to accept whatever treatment Philemon might see fit to give him. Paul sent this letter with him pleading with Philemon for his forgiveness. Under the social sys- tem v! that day. all the rights in the case were in Phllemosfs hands. and the convert and his spiritual father left everything to Phile- man's judgment. The right thing was done. even though. for this bright young believer, the heavens should fall. Duty to Develop

Freedom is a sacred trust to be used for the common good. Tal- ents are never entrusted to men merely for their cwn enjoyment, but always for their development in the Master's interests. This is the basis of my claim for the right of cultivating my powers to the full height of my capacity; I owe my generation not only all that I have but also all that I can make of my gifts. Tctslitsrian syl- tems which subject the individual in everything to the state stifle thc creative powers of the soul; frcredom is mine that I may de- vclop them to the utmost. This puts me under a sacred obligation to use them for the common good. “My utmost for I-lls highest" is the least that I can offtr to God.

Hence tric- frec man submits him- self tn discipline. When Kaiser Wilhelm ivas building up his mighty army. he held the opinion that citizens of our self-governing countries could never be made in- to a conquering army. because their love for personal liberty was so strong that they would never submit to the severe discipline necessary for military effective- ness. He found to his cost that free men would submit to what- ever discipline was necessary when the liberties of mankind were at stake. With it. they re- tained a measure of individual iss- itiative which gave them excep- tional effectiveness when the trumpet called to battle. The man who is truly free will accept what- ever discipline is required for suc- cess in his chosen field.

Calls For Sell-Denial This constitutes a challenge to

our democracies. Advocates of Communism do not believe that our free people are capable of

the self-denial and discipline ra- quired for the prosperity of all tho people. We must prove that they can by actually overcoming. our difficulties as Britain is dolls! now..or our, people will surrender their freedom for effectiveness. The students now crowding into our schools and colleges will have to turn away from many things they would like to do in order to concentrate on their preparation for future service-Young business men who are striving for a place in the world's progress put ‘in- ventiveness and energy without stint into the work assigned them. So it is everywhere. My freedom is my opportunity to throw my- self ‘with all l‘ can become and acquire into my answer to the challenge of the hour.

There was an interesting mo- ment in an open discussion at the Oxford Conference of 1937. A committee had brought in a reso- lution calling on the state to grant the church full liberty of prophe- syin . A Scottish professor sprang to t e platform in protest. H! pointed out that such an article assumed that the state had the right to grant freedom to the church. Now. he arlllfld. l1 l-hP state has the right to grant this liberty it has the right to refuse it. This freedom is God's gift to the church. and the state has noth- ing to do with it. Tho church's duty is to exercise her right to declare Gods wil as she aeos it. on every issue be ra her people.

Declared Divine Will li we take prophets like Amos.

Isaiah and Jeremiah as our ideal. we find them exercising their their freedom in open criticism of national policies. They millil- liave to suffer for it. Amos was silenced and Jeremiah beaten and thrown into a dungeon because they dared to condemn the wrongs and errors of the ruling power: but in all situations they declared God's will as He revealed it t0 them. Not only is this the privi- Lcgc God-given of the modern church: lt is her duty.

Again. freedom here exacts the sernest self-discipline. The pro- p eta‘ pronouncements were never mere personal opinions or theories wrought out by the individual or the group around him. They wait- ed on God. often with prolonged fasting and prayer, to rocaiva lqs messages, and when they receiv- ed theirs, they had to dsllvar them exactly as they were given. God's injunction was: "Speak . . . Ill the words that‘! command thee to ‘speak unto them; dlmlnllh P99 a word." (Jeremiah 36:2.) Free- dom cf prophesying does not moan license to utter one‘; own notions. but is backed by a stern require- ment to wait for God's communi- cation of Ilia will and interpret Him faithfully to men.

1110M "DE PIOFU NDIS"

While "De Proiundls“ is more or laas a lad bodk. — Wfme" "m?" Oscar Wilde was for two years in prison. it has some very memor- able sayings in it. It will be prof- itable, I thlnkpto look more or less closely at some of them. For instance he says this in one placcf "I must say to myself that I ruin- ed myself — that wad)’ great or small can be ruine except by his own hand." Does this not sound very like what Marcus Aurelius says in his Meditations? “No one is able to do me a real injury but myself". Besides, John ‘Bunyan in his "Holy War" tells us that the citadel of "Mansoul", which is the human heart. can not be cap- tured except lay consent from within. Have we not seen in our day how nations have fallen be- cause of inside disloyalty. .

Naturally Wilde had a good deal to say about sorrow. because he had a most unfortunate life. He says that clergyman and people who use phrases without wisdom sometimes talk of sorrow as a mystery. He says it is really a rev- elation. One discerns things one hover discerned before. One ap- proached the whole of history from a different standpoint. "Pain. he said, "unlike pleasure, wears no mask." Moreover he believes there is no truth comparable to sorrow. He is determined lhat his prison expeiilence will not make him sour or a cynic. This verse would suit him:

"I walked a mile with sorrow,

And never a word said she.

But. oh. the things I learned from her.

When sorrow walked with me."

Oscar Wilde was a poet himself and has this to say about Words- worth: “To contemplate the spee- tacls ,cf life with appropriate emo- tions Wordsworth defined as the poet's true aim. l-le affirmed that Christ's true place was among the poets. Shelley and Sophocles are of his company. Indeed his tribute to Jesus is one of the finest things I have read anywhere. This is part of it: “Nor in Aeschylus nor in Dante. those stern masters of ten- derness. in Shakespeare, the most purely human of all the great ar- tlsta, in the whole of Keltic myth and legend, where the loveliness of the world is shown through a mist of tears, and the life of man is no more than the life of a flow- er. is there anything that. for sheer simplicity of pathos wedded and made one with sublimity of tragic effect. can be said to equal or even approach the last act of Christ's passion - the little sup- per with his companions, one of whom had sdld him for a price’!

He quotes Emerson who says that nothing is more rare in any man than an act of his own: then Wilde goes on to say that "most people are other people." Is it not true that even our religion may be more or less second hand. When the rich young ruler addressed Jesus as good master. he was ask- ed why he called him good, as much as to say where did you get the idea? Was it original with you? Pilate was asked at the trial, who told you this of me‘!

Wilde read the four gospels and called them "(our prose poems". Ho read the Greek New Testa- ment and said it would be good for us if we road it every mom. l"! — a good way he thought to begin the day,

_ He said that there were Christ- ians before Christ came but he saw none since. He thought St. Francis had much of the spirit of Jews- By being brought into chm" Presence one becomes "Yflflhlhl- Once at least in his lifetime each man walk; with Christ to Emmgug,
