Lenten Meditations. onus-nan vooarsox (The London-'i'imIa)

0! the many slmiias which at. Paul uses to illustrate his con- septien of the Christian. life none h more slzmticant than that in which he speaks of it as a vocation. something to which men are called. Man chooses it, yet he is called to it. it demands of him at least the same application and attention as he gives to qualify himself for his trade or profession.

such a vocation need never come into conflict with a man's daily occupations. The Christian life is not to be thought of as iso- lated from what might be termed a man's legitimate secular pursuits, as though he should act now as a Christian. and again, as whatever else he may bc— a politician, or a tradesmen. His Christian vocation does not cut across his life's nor- mal activities it is bound up with their every aspect. giving a special quality and a spiritual significance to the whole.

St. Paul clearly indicifiea what it means to "walk worthy" oi the Christian vocation; and in partic- ular he lays especial stress upon the preservation of that unity of the Spirit which should character- ize the disciples oi Christ.

The unifying oi the Christian's own life is not an end in itself, its influence must reach out into the corporate life of the Church. This‘ unity, which brings men together in a fruitful ieilowship, transcends all the superficial differences which might set them apart.

It is not difficult to realise what it would mean to the effectiveness of the corporate christian witness if this unity were both profound and comprehensive. It is a unity based not only umn a common faith. but a common emerience; a common outlook. and also a common quality of life.

Its achievement, as the apostle reminds his readers, demands hum- ility, for it arises out oi a sense of interdependence which cuts at the very root of pride. Pride, indeed begets dlsunlty, for it separates the individual from his fellows: humility is the condition, the fer- tile soil, in which unity comes to its full fruition. Thus the christian vocation is, at least in part to be fulfilled within the fellowship.

But more is involved than this. Christian responsibility is not lim- ited to the Christian community itself. for the Church does not exist exclusively, nor even primarily. for the spiritual well being of its mem- bers; it exists for the redemption of human society as a whole: to extend. the frontiers of God‘: Kinc- dom of love and righteouan

Thus the Christian vocation is an urgent cell to action; to win men to allegiance to Christ; to , lsirn by life, as by word kind deed. what the will of God for man is, and to reveal what that will means when it is translated into the language of everyday life.

this place “in the road" from Aid- orl , busy and very pleasant for a James summed it up at aun- per. “it's not so bad being busy", he smiled. looking up from a help- ing of stew. ‘no long as everything goes well!" Everything went very well today. We recall now how lovely the day has been, fore- shadowed as these are. but beauii- fully. by the coming of Spring. in tune with the brilliant sunlight that set diamond glinis ashine on the meadows, and a balmy wind which made Jamie homing from school "wish i hadn't worn this heavy jacket!" birds were on light wing. v I .The wild duclu that settle in a pretty flock on a broader part of the mllistream within sight, the crows that now "iiy over in twos and threes", and the sparrows that swoop down in I tawny drift to pick up crumbs the children scal- ter beneath a window. A thaw- ing sky of March smiled on the countryside, and' one could fancy the blush of red brighter now in the maples on the farther wooded hills. And seeing. remember those of Pat's that march along the horizon, beyond the hilltop of home. And what would Pat say of this season so dear to his heart? “The cold an’ storms av Winter are pretty well over—for isn't it St. Patrick's own Day the mar- row?"

The afternoon brought J ‘e home from school along a lig t trail that was nothing short of magical to him. indeed after he had shed his school-bag and pick- ed up a cookie he was off again to lane's end to watch at close hand the miracle of clearing, that is the snow-plow a-t work. "it's won- derful!" he reported later. as in truth it was to all of us, and espe- cially to the farmers, concerned with their seasonal marketing problems.

We remexniber some years ago overbearing a group of farmers dlscum the trucking problem. "if the roads could be cleared of snow in Winter." one said. “so that the trucks could run as in Summer, what's help that would be to the farmers!" And an older man, ac- cuatorned to the old days and more placid ways of farming, when hay and grain and ponk was offered for sale on "The Square" comment- ed with a mule, "Never mind worrying about how you'll get YOU: stuff to market in Winter! I've lived a good few years on a farm. and I never found too much trouble over that. in fact I al- ways considered that a nice part of the fanning — and the easiest. My problem has been to get scarie- thiag to take to market!"

However this point of view that suited one day and geneqstlon has been changed by the years‘ tum- ing. and those occasions continue to arise on this byroad oi ours, when the matter of shipping pre- sent much concern to the farm- ase. And "how shall we move any amount to the highway?" is a question that intrudee itself, we believe even into their dreams. “If the plow would only come in!" we sigh. when seed potatoes must be sent off, or when-hogs muetgo in a aaumba.

X-BAY’ TREATMENT 0!‘ DUBSITIS FOUND EFFMDTIVE

Many cases of pain attop of shoulder are caused by a tall or blow on the head. The pain occurs in baa of head and neck. top of shoulder. and sometimes down the arm and even into the nxners. Re- llei from this pain is obtained in some cases by injections oi alcohol and by X-ray treatments. Tempor-

wearing a high plaster of paris coi- la.r which holds the head well above the shoulder line. some patients get rest at night by holding arm out at side in line with the shoul- cler.

There is another cause of Painful shoulder of which I write from time to time. This is cailed bursitis, as it is an inflammation of the lining of the bag (bursa) contain- ing water, which protects the shoulder joint just as bi-ie bag of water at the knee protects the knee joint. When this knee bag lining becomes inflamed and swollen, it is called housemaid's knee.

The inflammation of bursa at top of shoulder is directly under the large muscle which rounds off the shoulder and as this muscle is called the deltoid, the inflamma- tion and swelling is called subdel- told bursitis. Thus any movement that causes the upper arm to be moved puts pressure on this mus- cie and causes pain.

In cases where the inflamma- tion of the bursa continues for some time. the bag or bursa. may become filled with a lime-like sub- stance. This had material must be scraped out by the surgeon. While in liquid state it can sometimes be drained.

Among the symptoms of subdel- toid bursitis are heat and redness at top of shoulder. but the main symptom is pain when arm is moved forward. outward and in- ward. sometimes the serous or watery fluid turns into pus.

More recently surgery has been replaced by X-ray treatments and sometimes by alcohol injections. In “Delaware State Medical Journal," Wilmington. Drs. W. W. Lattomus and L. M. Hunter re- view 236 cases of subdeltoid hur- sitls which were treated by X-rays during the last five years. Best re- suits were obtained in acute or recent cases. either first attacks or where there was increase in pain in an already existing attack. The sooner the x-ray treatment was given the quicker were beneficial results obtained. Further. these physicians found that low voltale treatment was as effective as high voltage.

:3. DOROTHY DIX SAYS-

Successful Siepmoiher

Feels Rewarded For Efforts Raising Other’: Children

DEAR MISS DIX: More than a dozen years ago I gave up an excellent position to invest two college degrees and the savings of a few years in life with a man who had small children. I know what it means to put up with old furniture and to wear old clothes because the money had to be spent for small boys’ shoes, countless quarts of‘ milk, doctor!‘ bills, etc. I know what it means to pass sleepless nights attending sick beds, what it means to be driven nearly frantic by childish noises and thoughtless mischief.

But we all tried to play the game, and now when they call me the best mother in the world and when I see them grown into fine men and women I am rewarded. There can be such a joy in the stepmother‘s lot if one is only willing to be patient and to pay the price.

‘ A STEPMOTHER

ANSWER: I commend this fine, wise, brave let-

ter to the many women who have married men with children and whose souls are fainting under the mis- ery and hardships they have brought upon themselves. ‘ The lot of every mother is a hard one, And the ‘'--=- must put up with everything that the real mother must put up with. with- out the mystic mother love that makes sacrifice sweet, that makes a woman blind to children's faults and deaf to their noises. The step- mother has nothing to take the curse off the irritation of children. nothing to turn them from brats into angels. Not only has she no mother love to inspire her. She is often bitterly Jealous of her step- children and resentful of the affection their father bestow; upon them.

MOST All MISEBABLE

I get thousands of letters from disgruntled stepmothers who be- waii their unhappy fates and declare they are of all women the most miserable. The trouble with them is that they are not like the step- mother who wrote this letter, willing to pay the \-ice of stepmother- hood. They are not willing to make the sacrifices for their step- children that they would gladly make for their own. They are not willing to do the labor for their stepchildren that they would rejoice in doing for their own. They are not willing to give their stepchil- dren the same forbearance they would show their own or make the excuses for them that they would make for their own.

If they did, they would reap a great reward. For somehow, chil- dren do grow up, they do get civilized, they do pass through the awful ‘ ‘“ " ‘ , atage,_they do turn into men and women. And if the stepmother has shown them love and tenderness and understand- ing, often they love her better than her own children do and are more considerate of her, because there is always the feeling in their hearts that what she did for them was a matter of grace and not of duty. and that she was such a darn good sport about it all.

DEAR MISS DIX; I am a married men with three children. Am 35 years old. Recently I met a girl of 16 who fell in love with me at first sight and told me so and asked me to write to her. I told my wife about this affair and she was very angry because I told her that I intended to write to the girl and keep her in love with me until she was older. By doing this I will keep her out of trouble she is headed for. as being in love with a man she cannot have may keep her from doing things she should not do. My wife thinks I should not write to her, for it will make things worse and it will be harder for her to give me up later than now. She says I should let the affair drop and let the girl fail in love with someone else. What do you advise? I want to do right.

X.

ANSWER: Well, if you want to do right and al.so if you want to keep yourself out of trouble, you will take your \vlfe‘a advice. A girl like that is about as dangerous to handle as an H-bomb. Your only safety consists in keeping as far away from her as possible.

The trouble with you is that you are flattered by this little moron failing in love with you and you are not adverse to a little flirtation on the aide. Face the fact, Mister, and quit trying to de- celve yourself into thinking that you are alts-ulsticaliy bent on sav- ing the, girl. in your heart you know this. Also, you know that the. way to put out a love fire is just. to let it burn itself out, not by piling fresh fuel in the shape of love letters on it.

DEAR Miss DIX: We have lost our dear oldest sister. Our big brother is at home and his only piaasur. is to listen to the radio. but since this sister's death we have never turnedit on. although It would be a great comfort to us to hear it. Is it too early yet to have the radio on? How long does mourning last for a daughter and a sister? i B

ANSWER: If you loved the dear, dead girl, your grief will last as long as life lasts, but people no longer make the fetish of formal mourning that they used to do. So turn on your radio and get what pleasure and comfort you can out of that. It will take your thoughts off your 'sorrow and you need to have that done. Life is for the living, not for the dead. Those who have gone hence would not add to our grief by having us deny ourselves any innocent Jsaaura.
