Lenten Meditations

A CHRISTIAN DIRECTIVE (London Times)

4

“Take no thought for your life. what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; not yet for your body. whet ye shall put .-on." These familiar words. would seem an incongruous instruction to an official in the

~MiriistI'y of Food or of Eflwll’. or

even to the mother of e family on- gaged in bottling fruit. Yet when "take no thought" has been more accurately tranrleted, “be not anx. ions," the words are of universal application and have s particular significance for the harrassed people of to-day.

What is forbidden is not fore- thought. but that distracting anx- iety which renders forethought al- most impossible. Anxiety is thus the enemy of efficiency. By its obtrusion of personal concern it destroys a right sense of propor- tion.

Nor is this sgnsa of proportion achieved by careful planning. It comes from accepting a. basic loy- elty in life. No man can be the slave of two masters. The split pars naiity -which under the intim- ldat gi name of schizophrenia has become a fashionable modern dis- ease. is the product, often enough. of divided loyalties, or of the drift- ing life which hardly know: a loy- alty at all.

Those who have accepted the service of God are like men who view a landscape from A high hill. They did not create the propoztion of the fields and woods and roads which lie before them: that is all given; it is waiting there for them to see. What they have to do is to make the effort to climb the hill.

The Christian life demands a similar effort. a decision, not once in a lifetime. but day by do", to put God first. on many days the landscape may be clouded: it may even he lost In the mist. But the Christian knows it is there. If he will but go steadily forward, or at least ‘hold on to the position already gained. in time the winds will freshen to drive the mist away, re- vealing both the immediate -way ahead and H. wide view of the country in which his journey is set.

The landscape is, for the most part. human. It is made up not so much of problems to be d‘ cussed and solved-thougl1 they provide. as it were, its geological fovniatioll .—as of men and women in reed. It was to people in need that Jesus came. To them also his followers must go.

Many are in grave physical need, calling for forethought and sacri- fice on a scale that cannot be lim- ited. “Bread for myself is a mater- ial question." said Berdyaev: “bread for my neighbour is a spiritual question.” Many are in spiritual need, hungry for a purpose which will make life worth living. To them the Christian goes with the eagerness of one who -has found the way of life and ever seeks new companions fer the Journey.

That was religion at its finest. It won my belief and strengthened my faith. I knew that the spirit of truth had been in that church with us.

When asked what it was that turned my mind toward the mak- ing of great Biblical motion pi - tures, I again traced back throui the years to find the influence that first awakened my mind to the spiritual power of Biblical scenes. I have always been aware that the Bible was a “best seller.” that more human beings have been interested in Bible stories than in any other stories on earth.

Listened To Father

A: a boy, however. I used to sit on the arm of a. big leather chair every evening as my father read two chapters of the Bible, one from the Old Testament and one from the New. It was a family custom. '

My father, having been o writer of note in his day. read anything well, but he especially liked to read the Bible“ He made the words come alive; the characters moved and breathed before our eyes. It seemed to us he touchoditho beauty and drama in every story. and our eyes glistened with excitement. then were wet with tears.

My father‘s great vulnerable .point was that he loved, to have his head rubbed. We ohildren_knew of this weakness and used it to our advantage. so absorbed did we be- come in the Bible atcrlee that we hated to halve to him stop.

8o.Iusedtoelt‘on the arm of his old leather chair, by prearrange- ment with the other children in the family, and rub hie head as he reed. so soothed and relaxed did he become that he would forget the hour and go on reading extra chapters to us as we set intently around‘ his chair.

I have no doubt that father’: vivid reading of Biblical stories planted in my impressionable mind e reverence and respect for the Bible perhaps even e sense of its an-nmlclc values, which in subse- quent years was to turn me to the Great Book for themes to thrill motion picture audiences.

Legislative Memories ‘

strenuous efforts at that time helped to produce the increase subsequently received, and in that respect they were not without re- ward. The delegates to the 1903 conference at Ottawa were Premier

sole Survivor

Of all the members who com- prised thet Legislature, only one. remains alive today. This is Char-._ lottetown'e well-known and esteem-J ed citizen, Mr, John F, Whear.' who atlll enjoys fair health al-; though in his eighty-fourth year.‘ All the others, having served their day and generation, have passed‘ to their reward.

On being Interviewed on his‘, legislative memories of half a cen-, tury ago, Mr. Wheat recalled the‘ names above mentioned and added: "As with all governments in that period, the lack of sufficient rev- enue to do things was the great drawback, and besides the pay and allowances given the civil servants for services rendered was very In- adequate. In order to provide any- thing like efficient service it of course became necessary to in- crease the public debt, and this proved such a strong Opposition argument that in three .by-e1ec- tions held during the term, Op- position candidates were elected. namely: W. A. 0. Morson in Car- digan. James Mclsaac in Second King's, and Donald Currie in Sec- ond Queen's; but those proved to be only temporary reverses.

Appeals To Ottawa

"Insufficient revenue meant re- stricted expansion. so every effort was made to receive additional grants from Ottawa. Resolutions were passed. delegations were sent to conferences at Quebec City and at Ottawa, and a strong case was made out for what was known as "the Fisheries Award." Ottawa would not agree, but said,they would submit the facts to the Su- preme Court of Canada. This was done, and the decision of the Court was adverse to our claims. so that in spite of every effort put forth we were successful. But it is reasonable to believe that our

"The greatest achievement in legislation was the formation of a Department of Agriculture, with the appointment of la Commission- er and of a Professor of Agri- culture, also provision for the es- tabllshment of a Farmers’ Insti- tute in every District. It was con- sidered that these steps would give an impetus to our chief in- dustry.

"As for the lnstllulcs. they seem to have died out, probably due to lack of sufficiently trained leaders. However, the idea was A good one and was a start in the establishment of subsequent farm- ers‘ organizations for the improve- ment of ‘agriculture.
