. Happenings of

The Week

Friends of the Royal family say that .Prince Charles has made fast progress since he returned to London with his mother from the King’: Norfolk estate. He is tall for his age and well-built. Weight is around 24 pounds. height Just over two feet, seven inches. He is fast learning new words and frequently exclaims, “Daddy away." now that the Duke of Edinburgh is on naval service in the Mediter- ranean. One of his favorite words is “bus", which he crows de- iightedly whenever one of Lon- lon's big double-decker omnibuses looms in sight, Though normally I happy, contented baby, Charles s often bad-tempered on wet, foggy days, when his morning and ifternoon walks through the local parks are banned. "The Princess ioes not believe in coddling ba- Jies," a friend said, “but neither loes she believe in taking risks." Nhile staying with Ills mother at iandrlngham, Norfolk, the Prince Ipent many hours out in the gut- iens even in the coldest weather. But his mother will not allow him to be exposed to fog or damp. What Charles misses most when he has to stay indoors is the sight If other babies and people. A friendly boy, he fairly gurgles with delight when nurse Helen Light- body permits other children to talk with him.

Recently in St. James's Park a aine-year-old girl stopped and chat- ted with Charles, but when she came too close to the pram the baby's personal detective laid a restraining hand on her arm. The detective, a London police veteran. walks a dozen or so paces behind Charles’ pram wherever he goes and keeps a‘trained, eagle eye on him. Once A week a full bulletin about his progress is sent to his father aboard the destroyer H. M. B. Chequers. Whenever his ship is in port—on her goodwill tour of Arabia and Egypt-—the Duke usually sends his son an exciting parcel of new toys. Public inter- est in the baby Prince has never waned since he was born and scarcely a day passes without at least one request for permission to take pictures of him. All such re- quests are turned down. The Prin- cess ia adhering firmly to her pol- icy of withholding Prince Charles from the limelight during his first years.

Lt--ten Meditations "AWAKE, ruou 'rnA'r summar- (Tha London-'I‘lmos)‘

Two stories are told about Mar- tin Luther’s reaction to those temptations to despair to which he was subject. One. now considered apocryphal, tells that he once set- ually saw the figure of the evil one and hurled his ink-pot violently at him. The other .tells that he made better use of his ink-pot; he took his pen and wrote the words “Baptizatus sum." He relied for confidence and victory on the ob- jectlve fact that he had been bap- tized, and thus united with the victorious Christ.

In the early centuries Lent was the season in which potential Christians were prepared for bap- t.i.sm. which often took place on Easter Day. The Epistle included some striking words which in all probability were originally used at

the baptismal ceremony in the primitive church»—'Awaite. thou that sleepest, and rise from the

dead, and Christ shall shine u_on thee."

Three metaphors are interwined in these words, all of them clo:e1y connected with the first principles of the Christian life ard hence suitable for use at baptism; they are those of waking from sleep, of rising to newness of life. and of walking in the light.

Christianity is rightly thought of as an awakening from sleep. as an escape from idleness and inacti ill)‘ and an unreal world into a life of active service in the real world. which is the world of faith. The idea of death to an old life. and resurrection to a new. is at the heart of most early explanations of baptism.

The vivid ceremony of immer- lon in the running water of the river spoke forcibly of our Lord's passing through the waters of death to his victorious resurrect- ion; and the new convert felt that. with his. Lord. he had risen to a new life of victory.

The new life was illuminated by the light of Christ. it was day and not night. Those who followed Christ found that they did not walk in darkness. but had the light of life.

"Out of the kingdom of datkness —into the kingdom of the son of his love" was st. Paul's de‘crip'ion of the transition to real Christian- ity oi which baptism was the sign and symbol. ‘Out of dark‘c?s——into his marvellous light" was st. Peters. Both implied a. drastic change.

The significance of Luther's brief inscription is now clear. To fall back on one's baptism is to rely on objective fact, not on sub- jective feelings. The Christian church teaches that God. in Ch‘ist. has conquered evil with love. To share in this victory is the great- est of all blessings. It is to live at a new level: to see things with new eyes; it. is not too much to say that “there is a new creation." for all things are made new in Christ.

A girl asks me how she can tell whether she is in love or not.

Neither men nor women can see their hair gradually disappearing and not get upset. Aoooidiiru to some skin and scalp specialists, worry about losing the hair and becoming bold is one of the causes of alopecia aseata (small or large bald spots but not the slow grad- ual loss of hair over entire head.) Another cause of aiopeois areata is tuberculosis (lupus).

In moonlight that richly spreads the white fields. and the peace that has given a benediction to it. our week comes to its close. What a pleasant one it has been. this one that was brought to us fresh and clean and new after a snowfall not so many days ago! We remember that Jamie on his way‘ to school on Monday was obliged to continue his way.on foot after a formidable drift bar- red the way for the horse and sleigh and Rob joined the other farmers in the neighbourhood in‘ a spell of clearing, that was amongst February’: parting gifts. With Mrs. A. and other women from the community that was the afternoon we foregathered with neighbouring Missionary Societies at a church in the district to en- joy the service which is set for the annual World Day of Prayer.

‘‘Enjoy!'’ an old Minister was heard to echo in a warm crinkly smile to one who had "enjoyed the sermon so much! “but it's not to enjoy them that sermons are preached. On the contrary it is to make us better aware of our unworthiness and short-comings. We do tend to move in complacent ways — yes we're bound to. It's a frailty of humans. Then we .must remember: ‘Let him fhat I ihinkeih he standeih. take heed...’ _Oh, ay. we can't enjoy. but we Can. we hope, profit from a ser- mon and find therein some of ‘the whole armor of God’." So we then found an inspiration in the service and quite enjoyed the choice cup of tea and lunch and spell of social fellowship that at- tended the ciosc of our meeting.
