' ' .. Jeremiah takes his place in '1 ..,gpcat.companybwili(enflhJe gaiises this question. The 00 o 0 . In some mpecu the greatest poem ever written challenges the government or a Ji-ISC God with I question. That J puilering hero-saint asks the God whom he had always tried to serve: "is this calamity your re- ,warcl for a lifeti-mes obedience to your Wll'l?'

It is the goodness God that makes the issue agonizing. If our God were arbitrary and cr,ueil like , aiie gods of paganistn there would be no problem. This cry has gone p up to God from the martyrs of . every age. Theirs is Ilways a loyalty 'io God that knesrno bounds; no measure. of suffering could dim pilieir faith or silence-their testi- ..rnony. and the God who required such fidelity left them in the hands in! His foes.

We cannot go into till the efforts that have been put forth to solve y theproblc-m, but at this date we .cannot ignore it. Papers just to .hand from the World Council of

churches confirm our fears about the fate of our spiritual children ; in Korea. A letter written in Sep-

tember assures us of the continued life and faithfulness of the 600,000 Korean Christians. This letter y was written from Pusan and was i signed bythe President of the Ko- irean National Christian Council and also by representatives of the

Methodist. Prasbyliciuan and Holi-

'-hess churches. They added: -

lrlhrough fhe missionary efforts tor over half a century we have "learned that neither persecution nor famine can separate us from

the love of Christ. This eternal ti-uiih we hope to reaffirm in our own lives . . . While this refugee life is not easy. our brothers and sisters in C ”-occupied areas are starving for lack of food and dying under the persecution of the invaders." .

Reports received since in New York have aroused grave doubts about the fate of at least 45 top- ranking Korean Christian leaders. These men were summoned to I meeting on July 23 by Cornmunltt leaders "and haven't been heard from since." What their friends call "a terrible rumor" is now afoot that the "outstanding men of vari- ous denominatuions have been martyred."

Our Canadian Churches have taken a prominent, place in the evangeiization of Korea. and the results of our work there have been as fine as anything ever known to missionary history. '

The author of the book of Job dealt with the problem of good men suffering in spite of their goodness under the hand of a good God. But the martyrs of Christen- dom have suffered because of their goodness. :They would not re- nounce Christ nor silence their testimony, and they suffer as Chris.” suffered. Their faithfulness unto death will not be in vain.

According to New Testament teaching, suffering is an opportun- ity. St. Paul found his "thorn in the flesh" being made the occasion of a spiritual development which would have been impossible with- out it. This has a wide applica- tion to the conditions of human life -- the closing of one door turning the believer into a course which otherwise he would never have thought of entering.

But our concern here is with suffering deliberately inflicted on Christ's followers by those who hate the Christian way of life. "Do not resist 'him who is evil." said Jesus in the ”Sermon on the Mount." Instead. "Love your en- emies. do good to them that hate you, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you." f

There are two principles involv- ed here. First, you must not let evil in other men reproduce it- self in you. If another person's haiafuinus leads you to hate him, evil has triumphed over good in your soul. Love must be true: to itself in all situations. Second. I Christ-like response to an injury deliberately inflicted will turn the wrong-doer against his wrong as nothing else can do.

St. Paul had those two principles of action in mind when he wrote: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Jesus obeyed the law of love all the way through. Nothing that His murderers could do to Him could turn Him aside from His purpose to seek the salvation of every person whom He could reach. Calvary was not only hu- maniny's blaokest sin; it was also hlstoryis richest opportunity and the Son of man iued it to save marrklnd.

Awarded 57,226 Additional For Ship Expropriatoii

IO'I'rAwA.iDec. 4 -(C?) -The Exchequer Court of Canada today awarded 87.226 to W. Laurence Sweeney of Yarmouth. N. S.. in .a suit for additional compensation for four ships taken over from him by the Federal Government durin the war. ' The ship owner had sued for s193.8&5 in addition to the 8311.133 paid him after the Govermnent. expropriated the ships in 1942. He also asked interest. The court found that for two of the vessels. the L. K. Sweeney and the M. 522, he had been un- denpaid by 55.885 and 0134.1. re- spectively. I: ordered the Govern- ment pay him these amounts with interest at three per cent from Oct. 14. 1942. ” Flor two other ships-the J. E. Kinney and the W. D. Sweeney- the court found Mr. Sweeney had been paid sums in excess of their total value. The excess was 54.531 pi the case of the J. E. Kinney and 317.340 in the case of the W. D. Sweeney. However, it did not take this into account in making the final judg- ment. declaring it had to oonsidar the payments in relation to in-

P.E.l. Advisory Bd. To Institute for Blind Meets

The regular meeting of the P. E.I. Advisory Board to the Cana- dian National Institute for the Blind was held at the Charlotte- town Hotel last evening. Three new members were welcomed to the Board by the chairman. W. G. Faster. The members were: T. D. DeBlois, Charlotteiowii; Clarence McGuigan. Hunter River and Harry MacKay. Mount Stewart. Mr. J. A. Gallant of Summerside was nominated and elected as the sec- ond membcr representing the Sum- mcrside district on the Board.

The, Campaign chairman. Col. Leo F. MacDonald in his report. which was read by Mr. Foster. stated that approximately s5.500 had been received from the Can- vass Campaign. including the re-

turns from the tag days held throughout the Province. The Campaign Jective for the cur-

renlt fiscal y ar was 88,500 and the hope was expressed that late contributions will increase the toial received to date so that ser- vices to the blind of this Pro- vince will not be curtailled by the shortage of finances. A vote of thanks was extended to Col. MacDonald. Sidney T. Green. chairman of Special Names and to the chairman of each dis- trict, as well as to the canvssers whose work has brought the pre- r uh receipts to the help of the

Comments On Fine Poiaio Exhibits Al Toronto & B.C.

Mr. S. G. Peppln. District In- spector, Seed Potato Certification Service returned this week-end af- ter attending the Royal Winter Fair. Toronto. and the British Columbia Coast tenth annual potato and vegetable show in Van- couver.

Mr. Peppin assisted in judging at both Fairs. There wen I large

although naturally it was only M the Royal that there were any Prince Edward Island entries. "Our Island samples did quite well at the Royal. taking first. second and fourth in Irish Cobblers. first in Kstahdins. second in Sdbagoes and third in Green Mountains." Mr. Peppin said. "Naturally. the Ontario entries dominated.” the Royal in the number of samples exhibited. mvcrtheless. if our growers would send as good and as many entries to the Royal as to the Maritime Winter Fair they would without question do far better than was the case this

year.

"In British Columbia. they have a very much alive Marketing Board and the whole show and the exhibits was certainly A credit not only to the Board itself but also to the fine cooperation given the Marketing Board by the farmers. Thrcompetition was quite keen and many excellent samples were on display. The principal varieties included Netted Gem, White Rose. Green Mountain. Early Epicure. warbn and Early Rose. The Nettcd Com is an excellent table quality potato. being equal to that of Green Mountain. The Vancouver market takes the bulk of this var- iety for table purposes."

The Clayton's lived its a snail town in Connecticut. in a. lovely wooded spot beside a river. It was near enough New York for Mr. Clayton, by arising at exactly ten minutes after six, to get. to his place of business at nine o'clock. In the year i949. Mr. Clayton fell ill with bronchial pneumonia: -while he was recuperating he read a. small. blue book. named "starboard and Port." It was writ- ten in 1876 by George H. Hep- worth. the owner of a schooner. Mr. Hepworth. had sailed from Portland. Maine, to the "Guam. and the book recounted his travels. Mr. Clayton was fascinated by a description in this book of an enchanted isle, named Prince Edward Island. Mr. I-Iopworth writes as follows: "It is almost wholly dissimilar to any land that lies adjacent, it's soil is especially favorable to ordinary products, and it may well be called the granary of the North. It contains hardly any rocks. and the soil is red in color like.tha.t of New Jersey. The climate is something wonder- ful. it is entirely free from the in- numerable fogs which slip over Cape Breton and Nova Scotla." Mr. Clayton envisaged the fog that day after day cnvelops Maine, the stat! where he usually spent iis summer vacation.

Ideal For Invallda

He read on: "It is an ideal spot for an invalid; and the time is not for distant when that ghastly crowd that yearly goes to Florida to die "sill change their course and go to Prince Edward Island to live. I would like nothing better than to land at St. Peter's Bay. and with a. couple of ponies raised from good English stock, for which the Island has become fam- ous. start on a trip over the en- tire Island. hunting in it's woods. fishing in it's rivers and lakes, and stopping at. the always hospitable farm-houses at nlght".

When Mr. Clayton recovered, he made inquiries at the Canadian Travel Bureau. which convenient- ly. was located in the same build- ing as the one in which he worked at Rockefeller Center.

one fair morning Mr. and Mrs. Clayton and their two children, George and Mimi. piled into their old Mercury station wagon. and after three days of rattling over wearlsoine high-ways. they came to the northern shores of New Brunswick. An hour's ride on an imposing looking ferry, the "Abeg- weit". brought them to Prince Ed-

ended in the purchase of a farm on.t.he south shore. The t.on's named it "Crowfield." few purchases were needed to make the for the summer.

They settled down in their snug little home to an idyllic summer of swimming. fishing and picnick- ing. They particularly their Quebec stove which they kept burning every evening. There was one draw-back to this. The wood was locked up in one of the numerous out-buildings, and there was only a. small opening through which a child might enter.

Mrs. Clayton was interested in the radio weather reports. They were given in much greater detail

than those in the States. A Gal-l

lup Poll of a few years ago showed that the weather was one of the things that particularly interested the Islanders. Unlike the New York radio stations which an- nounce. for example, "it is now six seconds before seven o'clock" -The Island stations are content with mentioning only the hour. The mode of living is quite inde- pendent of remembering train schedules. swinging on sub-way straps, and punching time clocks.
