qiil/i does not always happen. We n». sll too familiar with the inex- publlllﬂ tragedies that occur from m to day. But God had xiven her the assurance that her request was Fnnted and His personal assurance n, her ground oi confidence. This was what Paul meant when he said that faith is the gift. oi Gorl. He [ivee not only the boon desired but 1X30 the faith that claims it at His hand We know many cases of such rolponses from the prayer-hearing Goo to the seeking soul.

The outstanding feature of Jesus’ pllyll‘ life was His Father's re- Q@ll to the 5011's "prayer. Luke natal that u Jesus came up from the waters of baptism He was pray- ing and the answer was that Heav- m opened and the Holy Spirit de- (lBlKlCd on llim, and the Father's voice assured Him of His love: Prom that moment onward Jesus was a man God-possessed and God-driv- en as no man had ever been before.

The Transfiguration was also an answer to prayer. Luke tells us that ‘while He was praying the appear- snce of His face altered and His rlress turned dazzling white." (Luke 9:28-29) These are the mountain-

l tory of the Son of God, and in both l cases they were given in answer to ‘prayer. The Father's responses to His Son which came in heavenly l splendor on these special occvions ‘W918 1-ils daily experiences Jesus said: "The Son can do nothing of | His own accord nothing but what He sees the Father doing; but what ever He does the Son also does the same. The Father loves the Son and shows Him all that He is doing Himself" (John 5:19-20.) Jesus lit- erally lived in God and received continually the Father's com- munications oi ills love and will. Here we are speaking of what believers know. They have experi- mented with God’s promises and the results revealed a living and loving Father behind every promise Sometimes because He is love the answer to our plea must be refusal Jesus in Getlisrmane pralyed that the cup might be taken from Him

thrice for the removal of his thorn in the flesh, but received instead the assurance that n purpose of grace was being wrought out liy means oi it. ill Corinthians 12:'l-l0i God is not silent when we press our prayers home: I-lc is "a God who

and oftencr still. the Father's re- spouse is cdnsent. We have ju~t noted such cases, ‘T0 our weak faith it may seem impossible for the promise to be fulfilled but when tho Father gives His word the result is sure.

The object oi‘ all this is to show that lt is possible to live in secret and open fellowship with God. The prayer of the individual and the intercession oi the group of believ- ers both count with (loci. lie will guide us in every deslsion if we look To Him for leading and are willing to obey, Creative thinking is done most. effectively in His pre- sence, it is literally true that the divine spirit will guide u: into ell truth.

'I‘here is a satisfaction as well as a splendor in this fellowship wth God. He is the Author of our being and our destiny: from Him we came and to Him we return. His assur- ence is that we may have His com- panionship all the way between. Youth mwy walk with God in mak- ing life's great choices and so work out the divine design in himself. Age has but. a stop to take into the final and eternal union with God. Manhood arid womanhood may fecl God's strepgth under every load.

many an hour at the shoring “that we're all home again?" O O O

Today James reached another milestone on a path that has commenced to wind down in a gradual descent, and not as once "up and away." It would return many memories to him, eapeclally oi his childhood clays when his family circle was still unbroken and the cares of the farm, which fell to his lot early in life, had not yet weighted his shoulders. "My boyhood," we have heard him ren-iark, an arm about Junie, his namesake, "I don't seem to re- call thsit I ever had any. I was a child, and then all at once l had to be a man, with a man's responsibilities and worrlesl" We know that today he was up early to take are of the choring, while the younger farmer there, made many a trip between woodlands and yard. l-Ils time is taken up now with "the hauling home" of the wood,

“Keeps cool, doeerﬂt it, Ellen?" a youngish farmer, a neighbor greeted us this morning with a smile. Steps were crisp in the snow and the pieces of the miall wash we were spreading Itlifen- ed quickly when ‘ ‘- " by the frosty breath oi morning. "Cool! you wouldn't call this cool — at 15 beiowl" we replied pinning smallish Pyllmas on the line. "Just pleasant weather I'd call itl’ he replied with I grin "Old ones feel the cold, they say.’ It was indeed pleasantNcal-iri and clear and sunny. "Well", we laughed, "since we're new in this neighborhood, can you say if the young women round about can lee this wash. just to know that nn,old' one still has some spirit left?" “No." he returned "lhe house hides ill ll’ you want to show them how smart you are you'll have to move the line down to the fmnit field!"

Frosty eiiii it is, and with it a light Inowfall and at lut we are into Whiter’! cool reign "down on The island."

to ‘an amazing size, and is often fifty to eighty feet in height."

And speaking of forest fires, Mr. Johnstone says:

"More than 60 years ago, a great fire was kindled on the north side of the Island. it is said, by a spark from an Indian! pipe The ground it overran is still dis- cernible, bcing all sprung up of spruce, var and while bitch."

On July 80, 182i, Johnston»: writes:

"I have now travelled over the greater part of the island the soil of the whole island has been thrown up by water. lt is, there- bm, val, 5i surly all d

one kind and quality and i1 laid upon a bottom of red soft freestone

. The land is low and level ... There are gentle rising grounds, but no hills, at least none deserv- ing the name of mountains The scenery everywhere is beauti- fu land romantic but much of the lnnd is far from market."

C O I

Brdcque he describes as “truly nn excellent settlement, well clear- cd. The settlers, however, are both ignorant and indolent farm- crs, and much of the land is run- ning wild and barren under their management."

Mi-. Johnstone says the road to Si. Peters is the best on the ls- land, broad and spacious. Of the carly settlers he has this to say:

“They live long and are ex-

ceedingly health! - The! an all

placed on a level and iiau|ht one lmori, namely: that if they wish of them die in youth."

Speekln about the children oi those day, Mr. Johnstone says:

“The children here thrive un- commonly iri infancy and in gen- eral are as big at l2 months n: those in Scotland st i5 or 16. Four of them dies in youth."

He describes the women as lir- ing very profilifc, the fish as abundant, the live slock as de- generated in size and weight. Thrn. as novw. potatoes and grain went to Newfoundland, Halifax, etc.

This description would not ap- ply to the Island today, yet it is worth reading if only to learn how our forefathers lived when the land was covcicd by un- broken forestl.
