, WISDOM AND POLL!

rigures stand out from the ,1,:'.'lo: the Blble as lnedlatortoi 5,... mini to men: the priest. as my guardian of In ancient tradi- mn. mg: the prophet, as immed- muly inspired torebuke 01' OD- com-ago the men of his 405'- But I third and less noticeable mm-e stands b their side. with something I-bou him of the schol- l,.. and I little perhaps of the dip- jomat and the philosopher. He is mg wise man. His common-sense .ttitude to life is embodied in Pro- verbs. his scepticism comes .to ex- pression in Ecclesiastes, while Job reveals his agonized wrestlins with the problem oi undeserved ufiering. I Nor is the influence of this type oz thinking confined to the Old Testament: there are proves-bial uyjngs in the Sermon on the Mount, such as "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof;" and the writer of the Epistle that bears the name of st. James was I dis- ciple of the ancient wise men. The wisdom of the Old Testa- ment stands at I lower level than in prophetic message, yet has af- finitles therewith. It knows, for example, that the prayer of the wicked is an abomination to God. that sacrifice is no substitute for righteousness. It is humanitarian in spirit, recognizing that master and slave are ultimately of one stock. and counting kindness to allimals among the virtues. The supreme contribution of the wis- dom literature is its basic convic- tion that righteousness and wis- dom are one and that sin is not only culpable, it is also egreg-

logs'lry foolish

wisdom is more than know- ledge; it includes moral insight. For the wiseiman life is no acci- dent, but I trust; there is no sex- tultilnsent without seli-discipline. and society parishes when it ceas- es to have something sacred at the heart of it. ,

Morality is no mere convention; it works with the grain of the uni- verse, and only the fool can fail to see this. All true human life rests in the end upon I more than hu- man basis: "me (ear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding."

The fool, on the other hand. is a short-sighted man. He imagines that he can sin and leave no stain upon his soul, that the laws of life can be defied with impunity and that I world created for moral ends will submit to being exploited for selfish pleasure. As the writer of the Wisdom of Solomon de- scribes him. he has a ,hilcsophy that supports his conduct. He is I materialist in both senses of the term. Human life for him is but the chance product of natural forces, and its sole good is the pleasure he can pluck from the moment.

Lite is committed to man's free- dom, but God's pattern for life is set before him for him to choose or reject. and as he does so he achieves or misses his destiny. I-lis dignity lies in his creation in God's image; and oi whet greater blind- ness and (oily can a man be cap- able than to squander this eternal

some idea of what a tremendous traffic there used to be in slaves is realized when we learn that be- tween 1759 and 1803 no less than 642,000 natives of Angola were shipned to Brazil alone.

Although the infamous traffic in human beings was legally abolish- ed in 1830, it continued to some ex- tent in Angola until 1910. This statement may be verified by read- ing that fascinating articlc en-

PAGE THREE Letter From Korea

The following letter has beel received by Mr. and Mrs. Dan I Macxay, New London, from their son Don, who has been in Korea since last April:

”DeIr Mum and Dad:

"Just a few lines was to let you know I received I coupe of letters from you the other day. I was sure glad to hear from you.

Well. we are on our last patrol and have about ten more days to put in here, then we are leav- ing ior Canada. Petty Officer Bell and I took an officer ashore the other day in I motor boat, with some mail. While he was deliver- ing the mail we went ashore and had I look around.

The place where we went ashore was a little village and there was also an American Army Camp there. The village seemed to have been pretty well blown 113. but there still seemed to be I lot of people around. There are two hun- dred and forty men aboard this

ship and there are only about sev- en that can say they were . ashore in Korea, and I happen to be one of them.

It looks just about the same as Japan. The only difference i could see is that there are barbed wire entanglements all over the place.

You said you had sent I parcel. Hope I will receive it before I leave here. However, it will likely be in sasefo when we reach there. as we will be there for a couple of days before we leave for Canada.

Well, I don't have much more news, so I'll close now.

Good-bye. Hoping to see you all l0Ol'l.

Love. Don," many friends are wishing her I speedy recovery.

IN MEMORIAM

MR. JOHN M. MACKENZIE

The death of Mr. John M. Mac- Kensie, M.A.. LL.B., at the P. E. Island Hospital, on Monday eve- ntng. March 17th will for those who knew him make the world seem poorer than it was before. Mack's life was the demonstration of the beauty of a life that has learned to forget self interest in the joy of serving others.

Born in Hartsvllle seventy-one years ago the son of Duncan Mac- Kenale and his wife Catherine Matheson, he was prepared in the public school there. Prince of Wales College and McGlll Un- iversity for the vocation of teach- ing in which he engaged for over thiiity years in the city of Mont- res.

After graduation from McGill University, he pursued his studies and received the degree of M.A. in Education, and while teaching continued studies in law that gave him the degree of Bachelor of Laws. But teaching claimed his interest and as principal of Bel- mont School. Montreal. and later of the Commercial High school, he won the esteem of pupils and teache . who found in him one who claimed their admiration and trust and whose memory they cherish. .

Teri years ago he retired and returned to his native province and as he had never married he returned to make his home with his brother on the old farm. where the books he loved and the land he loved kept life full of interest.

In early youth he found in the Christian life an enriching inter- est and I way to satisfying serv- ice. !'or years he was a valued elder of the Erskine-American United Church. Montreal. and left behind him by the ministry of friendship the inspiration of I life that has found the secret of happiness in living the eternal in the midst of time. It was I good thing to know him and catch the secret of what produces life at its best.

The funeral service will take gl.ace in the Cutcliffa Funeral

Hours on Wednesday at 1:30 pm. and intennent will be in the l-isrtsville Cemetery the same afternoon. He leaves besides I large circle of relatives and friends who will miss him. two brothers: Roderick in the old home. and Angus D., minister of the United Church It Montague.
