T. Easter,s Triumph

In the nineteenth century science s,,,.m,.d go have reduced the universe to the (iiniensions of a nliwlllne and man to the aspect of an animal. In the twentieth. ll) 3” Ullpiiliaiied revolution of tliouQill- 5('i9"c9 had disproved its earlier theories, and him ed that life it not Si0l'9l'n9d b.V the ,.um,(N.d law of matter but re- mains. as Jesus al'IlI'nl0d. 8 my-9l9l'.V hm mm pliysical e.xplanati0n. But materialism dies liard. Many. even among our so-callell advanced think- ers, have yet to adjust their nine- tswntli century lhlllklnz I0 the dis" eoveries of the twentieth. and to realize that the general truths an- nounced on the first Easter morning stand unassailable for all time.

The western world is Weak and confused before the challenge of materialism because it forS9t5 "5 origins. Its returning strenzth Will be marked by political, economic and military power but these things in themselves will be worthless unless they spring from the Christian be- lief in man, and are used in his be- half. The answer we give, collectively, as Christian nations, will decide the future of the human family. If that answer is based on a living and positive faith the negative and hope- less answer of the enemy cannot long endure. Human life will not pemianently accept a theory that makes it worthless. After I genera- tion of darkness it yearns for the dawn. And salvation will not he found in any particular theory of politics, economics or so nce but only within the spirit an aspira- tions of individual men. '

Tomorrow, in humble missions

and great cathedrals, in cities and hamlets millions of Christians who. have been touched to a new life and experience through faith in the risen Christ, will join with the choir in- visible to sing again "Christ the Lord is risen today, Hallelujah!" The challenge of materialism will be an- swered in the soaring Easter an- thems. How fine it would be if we could carry the enthusiasm, the reverence, the consecration of Easter Day throughout the entire year! But life has its emotional hills and val- leys. The best we can do is to ap- preciate our higher moments as they come, thanking God for the rich and luminous days of special blessing. May tomorrow's joyful anniversary fall into this category for all our readers.

Why Couidn l.They Wait? The Legislature has prorogued, Ifter skating over the thin ice of some controversial issues. Its accom- plishments in the way of legislation were not outstanding, yet it was per- haps the most critical session since Confederation. We wonder how many of the speakers who partici- pated in some of the proceedings

realized just how critical it was. The Provincial Treasurer had budged for In over-all deficit of 52,- ,-146 and had emphasized, in his . h, our serious financial predica- Qcit. He had given notice that In three-cent gasoline tax - -.- have to be imposed. Then, on

year. These concessions averted a crisis; but they by no means placed us on easy street. The Premier, in his statement at the reopening of the House this week, was careful not to give any such impression. He hoped for further consideration on the basis of .the presentation made at Ottawa; but in the meantime, while other Provinces are enjoying a 20 per cent increase in revenue under the federal agreements, we in this Province-facing recurrent an- nual deficits of over two million dol- lars-have just been able, by the skin of our teeth, to peg our subsidy at the 1956 figure. This leaves us still without funds to meet the in- creases recommended in the Educa- tion Committee report, and with the prospect of having to rctrench in other departments where heavy ex- penditures are involved.

In view of these circumstances vie can only express amazement that the Legislature saw fit, in the dyiiig hours of the session. to pass the salary boost of 3450 for each mm- portioljo member which had been put through last year in a num- surreptitious manner, through the Contingent Accounts Conimiiiue, of which the public-was unaware until weeks after the House had adjourn- ed. On this occasion the grab lllii made openly under estimated i.c;:i.s- lative expenditures. The Opposition members voted against it, and have announced that they will refuse to accept the cheques. We commend them for doing so. As for the Liberal members, they made no attempt to defend the item: they simply carried it by weight of numbers. Already they enjoy 5Sl,()()0 indemity plus 3500 tax-free "expenses"; and this extra earmarked "travelling ex- penses", is also presumably exempt from income tax.

Considering the state of the trea- sury, the salaries of our school teach- era and other civil servants, how can such action be condoned? How will it be regarded at Ottawa, where we are seeking better terms on the basis of our extreme fiscal need? To our taxpayers, it is an act of irrespon- sibility for which there is no excuse whatever. It is not so much the amount that is criticised as the principle of the thing, the timing of it and the attitude underlying it. Our public men were elected to serve the interests of their constituents and Province. When they put their own selfish interests first they are playing a dangerous game. They could at least have waited for a more opportune occasion.

HOME THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD

Sir. -Hi, everybody on this love- ly Palm Sunday morning! beIutiful Lenten Season is almost

by the time this letter reaches my native and dearly beloved lInd.

It is indeed a glorious morning in this locale after a night of heavy rain - all the world washed clean and new! It bids fair to rival even the Sabbath of two weeks past when all the world within my vi- sion wu so lovely that I felt like shouting fro m the housetops: "Spring! Spring, at last is here!" With so much of God's handiwork all about. I wondered how any could doubt after witnessing the glory of the sunset, God's pagean- lry heralding in the new day, the beauty of "valley. grove and stream," to say nothing of the mountain heights!

From my vantage point Is I write I see I rose trellis-I bit neglected and wild, as it is no longer part of my domaini-cover ed uith roses of many kinds frbm the humble pale pink climber to the large and larger of deeper and gorgeous hue. A cherry tree, blos- som blown and fruit forming, but beauty of blossom lingers in my memory.

The '

over and Easter with its message ' "me " H" 'b”" M"

of hope and cheer will be with us I

The last letter I had from my sister in Charlottetown said the in dif- ferent words. She sends me some of the Kirk's Church Bulletins-pr haps she'll send the "Palm Sun- day" one and "EIsl.cf.". I noted last Christmas one said: "It is I time for anthems and not argu- ments." Then recently I noted via The Guardian church notices that the evening Mediutinn was on "The Eleventh CommIndment.."- I should have liked to hlve heard that one. Is I feel it about takes in the whole Gospel. Christianity to my way of thinking. rightly or wrongly. is no' I form or I creed -although that's part of it, more for some than others - but I way of life. Long ago II I little girl- whcn our Sunday reading was re- stricted - I read Charles M. Shel- don's, "What Would Jesus Do?" Then oven I thought it I bit im- practical, but not so today, Is Ill Christians should tlke God into Iccount Ivory day In lVOl'y walk of life. .,

When I started this misslve. I meant to write about L.M. Mont- gomery's Biogrnphy, by Hilda M. Rldloy. It was I gift of I nloce who lovea the little "Isle" - especially the North Shore - although Ibo no longer sojourn in Ibo Garden of the Gulf. llowcvor she's going back during vacation this summer. LUCKY niece! I Ilmost. envy her. but try to keep away from any nogatlvlsm for bultlrs nko If for nothing else. Needless to say. I did not need L.Ml 'llfe story to un- loose I clllin of memories. I-low simple lilo was in thou days In the Garden Province Ind else- where! I learned some items I hadn't known about her only lilo but I wasn't the first to enjoy my book. Christmas forenoon some of my family camo our to be with me opening my gifts as it II no fun doing it alone. Among the num- ber. I little elcvon your old grand- dIughter - psrdon personal refer- oncos - who lost Ill interest In my other gifts In soon II she got her hands on my llto oouIln'I biography - by the time we we ready to go on to another of the

many weeks Ifter the holldsyn. To make I long Itory short. Donns loved the book and now another little girl lI well lsunched on tho perusal of L.M.'s children's clu- Iicl. Evidently the "Anne books” In as popular here as in Canada In my daughter could only find one left In the library yestarday.

Around tho holidays. In old friend sent me I snap of L.M.'s grandmothers kitchen-the old stovz so much lllzc the one we had in our home when l was I little tot before we got the beautiful- to me- shiny "Enterprise Mon- arch"! We always moved the old stove to the back porch in the spring to make the kitchen cool for dining in the summer. in winter we would let the fire so out in the kitchen SIturdIy evening after the sitting room was heated so the stove could be shined to tho nth degree for Sunday. The kit- chen floor in the winter wII Imb- bed twice Ilso, in the mom Ind the evening II no work was dam on the Sabbath except of neu- sity Ind msrcy- that holds truo today I assume.

Many I time I was in MIud'I grIndmother'I kitchen when I'd go for the mall with L.M.ls young counsin and next door neighbor. It. was Ilwnys the essence of nut- nesl Is was her gnndmothcr - thc cutest little old lady-I rccIll bar coming into Cavendish Church - she sat I llttlo behind on. fam- ily pew on the opposite side - Ind she was always I little late.

Let your child help with simple household tasks like finding places where clothllll needs to be mended and chopping nuts or sbredding vegeublel.

Bo pie.-Inn: but firm when it is time for him to eat or to nap.

Bedtime in the evening might be made more pleasant if it in- cludes I wIr bath and maybe I gentle rubdown. ,

The youngster probsbly will find it more relaxing and more pleasant if Daddy takes over for these final chores on the day. I think mother will enjoy the few momcnts' rest. too.
