Mark gives us some of their names. but apart from what they did at the Cram and what they tried to do on Easter morning little is known abdut them.

And the Magdalene was the first to see the Risen Lord.

As He sent His disciples out on their first mission He said to them "Whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly. ! say to you, he shall not lose his reward." In His picture of the last Judgment Jesus said that it was by their kindness or their lack of it that the nations would be judged. The services that He mentioned were: Feeding the hungry and giving drink to the thirsty. show- ing hospitality to the stranger. clothing the naked. and visiting the sick and the prisoner. and He added: "Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my brethren. even these least. you did it unto me." Among the things that the world likes to remember of Jesus were Bis ”indncss to little child- ren, and to outcasts of ' A such words and -deeds were prompted by sheer kindness of heart.

Kindness such as these unknown followers showed to Christ is the commonest of virtues. The kindness of the Canadian frontier beggars all description. The writer as a student missionary in remote cor- ners of Canada was met with a kindness and hospitality that counted it a privilege to be of ser- vice to him. Ordinary folk love to help and ask neither reward nor recognition for what they do.

At the centre of our cities the modem social settlement is an in- stitution of kindness-kindness to wee ones too young for school and incidentally to their mothers. kind- rises to growing boys and girls with all their problems and temptations and possibilities. kindness to fam- ilies which rejoices in their pros- perity and helps them in their need. The services offered by these setlements are on scientific lines; the benevolence that paup- erlses has no place in their policy: but the,laws that govern their ministries are never allowed to ob- scure the warmth of heart that prompts everything they do. Often where the ordinary methods of church work fail, these institutions 4 They interpret in the terms of the twentieth century the law of Jesus' own life: "The Son of man came. not to be served, but to serve. and to give His life a ran- som for many."

Bt. Francis of Assisi turned away from prospects that the world con- sidered promising to g e himself and to inspire others to rvice. To help wherever help was needed was their one rule of life. In the Mediaeval Ages it was a unique in- terpretation of Christ and present- ed Him to men in those softer lights in which the human heart rejoices.

Away back on May 13. lfi9l. a religious paper in the Maritime Provinces called "The Methwsiist." published a story entitled: "The Worker's Dream." This minister. so the story goes. had been doing very successful work and was highly gratified over it. Meditatlng thus one evening. he dropped into a light sleep and thought a man entered his room carrying chemical implements. The stranger asked: "How is your real?" with s. dreamer'a strange fancy, he imagined his real to be is p cal quantity. and. taking it out of his pocket. he gave. it to him. The stranger weighed it carefully-loo pounds. Thoimlnlsier thought that was splendid. But the stranger broke it up. melted it in a crucible. and. on turning it out. he saw that it had cooled in layers. These the stranger broke apart. weighed and tested each. taking 'minute notes all the time. Then he handed a note to the minister pltyingly. and

O'l'l'AWA--When tough Clarie Gillis. one-time cock-o-the-walk in cool-mining Cape Breton. made speeds in the Commons advo- cating decentralization of industry, it got a mixed reception.

Prime Minister St. Laurent: "mere can-no be very many of us in sympathy with the arguments he used.”

C.C.F. leader M. J. Cold-well: "A moderate presentation by the Hon. member for Cape Breton South."

J. A. Ross P.C., Souris. Man.): "There was considerable logic in his argument."

.l.H. Dickey (Lib. Halifax): "rise Maritime point of view put for- ward in an unfair, impractical and distorted manner."

A. .1. Brooks (P.C., Royal, N.B.): "A very able argument, as we would expect from him...s most able presentation."

In case the foregoing is a trifle confus' . the explanation lies in the political affiliations of the men. After the Prime Minister had castigated C.C.F.'er Giilis. not one Maritime Liberal dared to chance the P.M.'s wrath by sup- porting Glllis' demand for federal cooperation in fostering greater in- dustrialization in the Mariiimi-s. And this despite the fact they'll all admit privately i.lhat's the Mar- itlmes' crying need.

Britain Gets The Air

The North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization decision to put an Am- erican in command of the NATO fleet irked Canadian sea dogs just as it did the modern Drakes and Nelsons of the Briilms Adimiraity.

Recognizing that the NATO fleet's big job in a war with Rus- sia would be combatilng Soviet submarines. our naval men were all for a Britisher in the top spot.

As one veteran of World War II "The British had sub-hunting down cold last time. The Yanks didn't have a clue."

But however much Navy men were miffed at the choice of U. S. Vice-Admiral William N. Foch- ieler, it didn't cut any ice with the government.

.At a press conference. a reporter asked External Affairs Minister Pearson if. in view of the appoint- ment of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower as head of the NATO land forces and Adm. .Fechteler as head of the sea forces, "Do you think Britain will get the air?”

"I think the British Admiralty thinks Britain's already got the air." 'Pcni-son cracked.

There was a deep earnestness in the straps- er's tone and manner that annoy- ed hirn. and. opening the note, he read as follows: "Analysis of the seal of Junius. a c ndidaie for a crown of glory.

There can be no doubt about how the devotion of these women to Jesus would have stood such a test; love to the son of God, pure, would have be 100 parts; but what about our al? some day it too will have to stand the test. and will be revealed to Heaven and Earth as it really is. We may lack many talents that others possess in large measure. but all can be kind. None can really fouow Jesus without taking His love in its prac- tical as wall Iain its emotional forms as the law of life.

..,.,,.

one of the major convictions be- hind the Fourth Gospel is that the goal of faith and hope is no longer, as for earlier generations. in the future. Thanks the death and resurrection of the Lord. it has been brought forward: it has in fact become a , at reality.

Thus, eternal life is something far richer than an immortality which follows upon death; it is a life begun here already and of such a quality that it can triumph over death when it comes. Thus. too,

spring rush 15 on.

the Lord's return is not some far- off event to be awaited, often with disappointment at its delay; it is here already in the coming of the Holy Spirit to the Christian fel- lowship.

There is in this no repudiation of the Christian hope for the future. but the present 5 so full of all to which the heart aspires that the future is.thought of as bringing it to fuliument.

one striking instance of this transfer of interest from the future to the present is in the highly or- iginal relnterpretation of judgment which it makes possible. God's judgment is envisaged. not as some great asslze to be held at the close of history. but as taking place here and now. And it is a. decision made by God only because it has first been made by men. Jesus. we are told, did not come into the world to judge it, but to save it. Yet in another place it is expressly affirmed that he is in the world for judgment.

The solution of the enigma is that while judgment is not his in- tcntion, it is the inevitable conse- quence of his being among men. He judges them because in his pre- sence it is no longer possible for them to procrastinate, they must decide for God or against him. As they decide. so is their destiny.

The illustration which the evan- gelist empioys is that of a sudden influx of light into a room. Those who are in the room at once do- clare themselves, the honest and sincere coming forward to greet it. rejoicing to stand amid its bril- liance, and ready to be seen for what they are. Those. on the other hand. who have done what they do not careito have exposed, ah;-lnx from the light and thereby brand themselves as evil. The light judges, because those on whom it shines judge themselves.

Whether God. who is Love. will finally acquiesce in any man's choice of darkness rather than light, whether he will not rather seek unweariedly to persuade him to become at last the child of God he was created to be. is another question. But no trust in a divine goodness that will ultimately over- come all evil should be allowed to blur the consciousness that man's freedom lcarrles its own tribunal with it, and that to choose is to expose oneself and so to be judged.
