God's command is not thought of as irksome. nor ‘is something be- yond man's capacity to understard, nor as that which will be dlsobeyed at the inclividual's peril, but as making for man's highest good and happiness.

"We're just keeping the breath of life in them, until you can get back!" we laughed to Karolyn today. Like James and delighting the family, she keeps in touch with us by ‘phone, while for a few days more, doctors orders keep her away from her familiar and busy round. But minimize these as one will. paring them down to only the most necessary doings, we can still find plenty to keep us employed. Loaves disappear, cookies vanish. floors become be- griined. garments get soiled, and rents appear, so that even the

life and work.

The difference between these; two conceptions of obedience is. absolute. St. Paul frequently con-| trasts a slavish obedience to law.) an obedie..ce which is largely based; upon fear. with the free obedience! of the Christian, which is base:i' upon love. It is possible to give a formal obedience to God’s com- mands without love. but it is not} possible to love G"-o wltho:t the‘- desire to obey him and to live in harmony with his will, It is this latter kind of obed ence which is} the organ of knowledge, for throughi it man comes into ever clo:er un- ion with the mind of God.

To such it is not 1 matter of self- interest “to desire that which thou dost promise." for what is promised us the outcome of loving obedience. is a deeper capacity for apprehend- 3 lng truth and a gradual transfo -1 mfng of oberilesce into cooperation The promises of God incl.de not only the certaln‘y of the soul's en- richment, though they do include this, but also the needed e'ulp- ment for service as an in trument In God’; hand for the carrying out of his benign purposes for the world.

Through his obedience the dutiful servant of God increasingly comes to apprehend the divine purpose as it relates both to hlm*elf a d to the general life of man. Our Inrd said: "Ye are my f‘.-lends. if ye do wha.t.soever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord death; but I have called you friends.”

.50 obedience becomes not a mere blind unquestionlng acceptarce of authority simply because the or- data are given by him who has. in- deed. every right to give them. b.'t the free cooperation of him who is in truth the friend of God, and whose deepest desire is to see the perfect will of God fulfilled.

St. Pierre, first equerry to the Duchess of Orleans, wanted the island. and his patroness got it for him. A fishing company was formed, and with three small vessels and three hundred men. together with supplies, they set sail. Dan de Belleisle commanded the fleet.

Came November. the harbor and strait was full of drift ice so that no ship in those days dared venture out of anchorage. Beauti- ful Port la Joy lay slumbering and perhaps dreaming of the countless birch-bark canoes that the savage lndian paddle across its bosom when summer crown- ed the trees with green leaves and when the water rippled and sang with the passing breeze.

Meanwhile. the inhabitants of the fishing village explored the Island. trapped. and fished through the ice. All in all, they passed a pleasant winter and the future looked promising.

But alas! the first winter was the best. When the founding was finished. the French were at a loss what to do next. Being for the most part fishermen and trappers. they had little heart for the back-breaking toil so neces- sary in those days to clear the land and develop farms to sup- port a settlement for the for-is to de d. One by one they deserted the site to go where fancy called them.

There was nothing wrong with the fishing. but dissatisfaction arose among them until the little colony went back to the Crown.

l918—i8. many were dying in our Base Hoqiitai; some from the flue itself, which damaged the heart muscle so that it had no power left. and others because of bronoho- pneumon‘ and pneumonia pre- vented the heart from pushing the blood through the congested lungs. A medical officer. just returned from England. stated that while the flue epidemic was not causing as many deaths in England as in United States and Canada. English physicians were apparently saving many lives in a simple manner. Each morning, when patients who had recovered from the flue were being discharged from -hospital they had a small quantity of their blood removed from a vein. This. blood was injected into fiue pat- ients still in hospital. particularly into patients with a high tempera- ture. We tried this each morning thereafter. the well patients being very willing to give up a small amount of blood to help patients still sick with flue. The results were most gratifying. The blood from these recovering patients brought temperatures of 104 degrecxs down to, or nearly to. normal in a matter of hours.
