I ;l.entenI Mediidiions Till COMPLETION OF LIFE" ('i11e London Times)

m-...-

"That religionr will conquer,"

.,,,m Whitehead." which can ren-

der clear to popular understand- ing some eternal greatness incar- nate in the passage of fem "tact." (Adventures of Ideas. 1:. ii.) precisely in its ability to do this has lain the strength of classical Cmistianity. It is an other-world- 1., religion grounded not in,tlruc but in eternity-

m power to invest man's little day with grandeur. to give mean- mg to these years of time and en- able men to transform this pre- smg world, derives from the fact that its true centre of gravity is not in this world but in another. The frustration of which so much is heard nowadays may reflect the inevitable failure of man--born to inherit life eternal-to -find satis- faction and fulfilment whollywith- m the confines of the temporal.

He who tries to review his in- ner life will be oppressed-the more so as he grows older-by the feel- mg of wastage and incoherence. spiritual powers have been dissip- sted in a thousand trivial distrac- tions. Many different things. good and bad. have happened. to him: he has been engaged in various activities. But has he become the possessor of himself or grown any further into his true stature?

At these its of insight he knows that his need is for such cnncentration as will collect the soul's scattered forces and make of his fragmentary life a whole. The secret of unity in -the Christian's life is the acceptance of a divine vocation.

The liturgical year frames hu- man experience not within the cycle of nature but in the context of a. transcendent order of which Christ himself is the centre. Pro- grass is measured by growth "into Christ." What gives men their ultimate significance is found in their relationship to God.

But this implies the dimension n! eternity. However rich and man- ifold his interests, every man at the end is still unfulfilled and his true self remains incomplete. There is so much good in him that has not matured; so many fragments that seem split and wasted.

Attempts have been made by some philosophers to find a sub- stitute for the Christian hope in the principle of the conservation of values. No value is lest. they have claimed. in a moral universe. But this theory does -not survive closer scrutiny. For values can be realized only by persons. and can- not be conserved by the universe if there are no persons to realise them. Moreover. if it discards its highest products and the flux of time sweeps personal life away, can :the universe rightly be describ- rd as moral?

But if this world is indeed a vale of soul-making. and a prepa- ration for an immortal destiny. .each passing hour holds "eternal greatness," and the Journey's end umcompletion and fulfilment.

A Faorurp E0! Every Friday t

Bllthrlgall

At the annual meeting of the Dairy Farmer. of Oanadt. one of the most pressing problems consid- ered was the serious unbalance

existing in returns from fluid admit butter and other dairy pro- uo .

This unbalance is now reflect- ed in the present scarcity and higher prices of butter. during and since war years and producers of butter have not received the en- couragement in financial returns that have been the lot of other branches of agriculture.

It is now clearly evident that last year's floor price was not suf- ficiently attractive to stimulate production. In the face of rapidly increasing costs on every hand. butter producers had to accept lower returns. Their reaction from the production standpoint has been swift and only what was to be expected. .

Poultry Conference

On April 6th and 7th, a meeting of poultry repruentativesi from across Canada will be held in Re- gina, to consider uniform provin- cial marketing legislation.

It is not expected that this province will be represented at he ” . as considerably more prpgress, in drafting a scheme. was made. which when the oc- casion arises can be considered by the Dominion Provincial Market- ing Board.

Maritime Federation of Agriculture

A meeting of the Board of Dir- ectors of the Maritime Pederation of Agriculture, to which Deputy Ministers and Federation secret- aries are invited. will be held in Moncton on March 28th.

one of the important qtestiona which will likely be discussed is the one of closer gaffiliation be- tween Provincial groups.

The Maritime Federation, while organised on a different basis than our Provincial Federation and operating without the ser- vices-of a full time secretary. has been very fortunate in having the service of may Grant as secretary. Nothing in the nature of an agri- cultural problem escapes Mr. Grants' attention and it is certain- ly desirable that harmony exist among farmers of the Maritime: and that the services of a co- ordinating body be available to deal with problems affecting Mar- itime agriculture in general.

Potato Bag Prices

The potato industry took anoth- er blow with the recent sharp in- crease in the price of bags.

A seventy five pound sack now costs in the vicinity of thirty five cents and the heavy jute sack holding one hundred pounds is well over fifty. cents.

These price increases will also be reflected in-the pric of feed. Eacport regulations ivy mils and Pakistan are blamed for most of the trouble and this matter is one that the Dominion Gvv ment might be expected to take some action on. in view of the fact that India will likely be supplied with fifty million bushels of Oanadidn wheat.

Ontario potato growers. who are not under the necessity of using new sacks and who in some case: are in a position to get ours second hand. have an added ad- vantage in lowering their costs.

1 Abandoned Farms

The speot ' of abandoned farms are to be deplored in any agricultural community. In a great many cases we feel, that many of these terms really never were such. but might be considered homesteads that for a variety of reasons never developed -into farms.

These abandoned places are to a certain extent an. indication of efficiency in the industry-proof cf the competitive nature of agri- culture. We feel that the percent- age of what might be termed bona do farms in an abandoned con- dition in this province is quite low. and in most cues the land, it not actually producing crwl. is reverting to forest. a crop of con- siderable agricultural significance.

The response to the warble fly campaign has been very satisfact- ory. To date 125 districts are or- ganised to deal with the warble fly pest and we would point out that there is still time for dist- ricts to organise and join in the battle of the warble fly.

IN, MEMORIAM

MR. HARRY MCAUSLAND

Friends and relatives were shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Harry Mc- Ausland on Feb. 21st, following an operation at the Provincial Sanatorlum where he had been a patient for six years. during which time he bore his illness with great patience, always a cheery word to all with whom he came in contact. He was 13 years of.ngc and was formerly of Bloomfield Station. He had been a farmer before taking ill and was a good worker. always ready to help a friend or neighbour in any way possible. He was loved and respected by all who knew him and will be sadly missed. especially will he be missed by his loved ones who will long for his cheery smile and the sound ol,hls kindly voice. He was a humble follower of his "Lord and Master". In his last letter to his sister he said he was not worry- ing about his operation as his trust was in the Lord and what ever He willed would be best.

There was a short service held at the home of his sister. Mrs. Fraser Macnougall on Sunday, Feb. 25th. followed by a service held in Bloomfield Church con- ducted by Rev. W. G. Dickson of O'Leary and Rev. W. C. Wilcox of Elmsdale. The church was fill- ed with sorrowing friends, neigh- bours and relatives who came to pay respects to one -whom they all loved. He was tenderly laid to rest beside his father who pre- deceased him six years ago. The floral tributes were beautiful and testified to the esteem In which the deceased young man was held. The choir with Mrs. Alban Cras- well as organist rendered the special hymns "The Lord Is My Shepherd". ”Rock of Ages" and "The Old Rugged Croas."

Mr. Alvin Ashley feeling render- ed "There Is No Disappointment In Heaven". Rev. W. G. Dickson gave a message of comfort. based on the Christian's view of death. Rev. W. C. Wilcox also spoke com- forting words to the bereaved.

Besides his sorrowing wife he leaves to mourn his less one daughter and two sons. Jean in Charlottetown. Orbsn In Toronto. who came home for the funeral and Alvin at home.

The following sisters and br'p- thcrs survive, Mrs. Fraser Mac- Dougall of Bloomfield Station. Mrs. Elzie Home of Roscbank. Mrs. Theodore Lewis of Alberton. Mrs. Russel Jenkins. Charlotte- town. Robert .T., Worcester. Mass..- Arjhur. Alhland. Maine. and George of Bloomfield Station.

The pail bearers were. Cecil Mscbougall. David to Macbougall. Sydney Smith. Raymond .Srnlth. Erskine Smith ' and iGeorge Call- aghan. The flower bearers were. Roy Smith. Vance MacKay. Don- alddMcDougall and Herb Melane- lan .

Interment was in Bloomfield Cemetery.
