nd this must always be a inlitilll ict But the meaning of true pe- iitioniiry prayer goes farther and deeper than this.

It is not presumptuous to believe that it affects the thing or person prayed for, though the result may not be immediately obvious. nor indeed be exactly in conformity with wiiat is asked: for Gcd's p-i'- mg knowledge must often need to co,-mt the imperfections which ritach to all human thought and endem-our. So to understand the pl'BVCl' ii petition is to gain con- fidence and the assurance of its value and objective potency.

such prayer must fulful the con- ditlons lilid down by our Lord. It must be ”in his name", that is. in mrmcny with his mind. inspired by Mlmisliip with him. One may not giways be certain that a. parti-ular pm-er is in conformity with the divine will, even when what prayed for seems legitimate and good-so strong is the temptation to think that cne's cwn intuition is liP('E5szil'lly right. A deep desire for harmony with the mind of God will always be the surest guide.

The ether condition is faith. The common phrase "if it be thy wlll" may be an cxpreslon of piety and humility-and there are doubtless times when petition should be so qualified: but the use of those qualifying words may also indicate a lack of conviction as to the righmess of the prayer. Jesus l'iid niurh cinpllnsls upon the exercise of faith in prayer. "What things sticker yo desire, when yo pray, be- lieve that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Faith is not only belief in the power and good will of God: it is the certainty that God is ".1 rvwnrder of them that dilig- ently seek him." It is the link be- tween liiunan need and the divine power.

IN MEMORIAM

GOIIDON LAIIID

The words of the great New Testament Apostle might be fit- tingly applied to our much beloved citizen Mr. Gordon Laird who de- parted this life on the evening of the last day of January, 1951. "He had fought the good fight. finished the course, kept the faith. Hence- forth there is laid up for him, a crown of righteousness which the Lord shall give to .all that love his appearing.”

The deceased had attained the age of as years. - He was the youngest membe of the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Laird who resided for many years on the "Laird Farm" at North Rustico.

After his father's demise Gordon continued the work until the spring of 1966. when through ill health he was obliged to retire. He then settled in New Glasgow village. where he and Mrs. Laird had fitted up a mu: home for their declining years. Mr. Leard will be sorely missed in the home and in the Church where he loved to worship and sing praises to his Lord and Master, his absence will be keenly felt; for to one and all he had a kind and cheerful greet- ing and practised the motto: "Speak no ill.- is kindly word will

never leave a sting behinri." During his illness he was dutifully attended by his faithful physician. Dr. Murchison and tenderly nurs- ed by his devoted wife and his sister Mrs. Caroline Maclnnis. who with his other sister Edna (Mrs. Harry Inman) of Augustine Covc. mourn the loss of a loving hus- band and brother.

His funeral was held on Friday

afternoon, February 2nd. in the adjoining church and conducted by his pastor the Rev. Cleo. Gough assisted by the Rev. P. L. Richard- son. Mrl Gcugh chose the 1st verse of the it chain. of st. John's Gospel. "bet not your heart be troubled ye believe in God, believe also in me." as the text for his sermon. Both clergyman paid a fitting tribute to the life- of the departed christian brother. Three favorite hymns of the deceased were sung by the choir and a solo. "Beyond the Sunset" was feelingly rendered by, Mr. George Clark of Cavendish. Mrs. Mabel Simpson acting as organist. His pallbearers were the Messrs. Roy Tooinbl. R. 6. Flaming, Arch Hsrtling. Harry Mccxonsle. R. L. Dickinson and Mort Lu-kin. He was tenderly laid to rest in (men- disn cemetery beside the graves of his parents.

Many Islanders will probably re- call Joseph A. Ooady of North wlltshire, former student of P. W. (2., Principal of Kensington High school and teacher at summerside Academy. Joe is still in the teach- ing profession but in is country where the mercury sometimes dips down to 75 degrees.

The natives, all 7 num- bered about three hundred, looked with great suspicion upon the ar- rival of a teacher who was to try to make them better citizens, so that they, in the future, might be the better able to help themselves.

After spending a, year at Fort Norman. Joe was asked by the De- partment to push on some two hundred miles farther north to Fort Good Hope situated, on the rim of the Arctic Circle Here he established another school at a still more isolated village.

The roll of a welfare teacher in the ncrthland is a challenging one. It offers the opportunity of meet- ing the welfare needs of the com- munity, and of developing services which in more settled areas are provided by a wide variety of agencies. To do this effectively, the teaohe must have a genuine interest in people, infinite patience, high courage and unlimited re- souroefulness.
