while the mere possession strength is not in itself admirable. since, to be sure. it is one of those points at which man must yield precedence to the animal, the ab- sence of it detracts from the hom- age paid to moral qualities. The highest virtues lose their worth and attraction for one who sus- pects that they are rooted in weakness. And it is precisely this charge which the critics of Christ- ian morality have so often brought against it.

Nor are its defenders as wise as they need to be in this respect. Tlicy too have at times presented the christian virtues in such a. guise that they repel those who have learned to prize manliness and robust courage.

It ought to be possible to taloo some of these virtues and to show that, so far from being symptom- atic of weal».-ness, they are in fact lllf‘ expre-.sion of the highest form of strength.

Perhaps it is in the case of hu- m*'ity that such misregresentation is most frequent. Indeed. a recent miter has defined Christian hu- nxility as "the habitual practice of self-depreciation” and is apparent- ly under the impression that he has commended it‘ by such a defin- ition. whereas surely he has car- icatured it. I-labitually to depreciate oneself is sugzgestive of pretence illld lnslncerity, if indeed it does not argue a pathological state of mind.

The pattern of Christian humil- ity is to be found in one who. whether he worked at the bench or accepted the dignity of Messiah- ship, did so thinking only of God. and never of himself. For he who depreciates himself-is as .self-cen- tred as he who exalts himself.

There is a prejudice against forgiveness. as if it were a weak- ness to which only those resort who lack spirit to take revenge. But the forgiveness which is described and illustrated in the Gospel is no easy eondonation of sin. It liberates the wronsdoer so effectively be- cause it has first s‘amped upon his consciousness the heinousness of the wrong done. ~

It is not difficult to restrain the offender, to punish or even to kill him; what is so difficult is to re- deem him, but that would be far more effectual, Those who amass arms to-day against an enemy know well that the security they thus obtain is a poor substitute for that which would he theirs could they turn him into a friend.

And what of patience? That is no mere submission to circumstances. it is the serenity and assurance which are his who has inexhaust-

Beneath a lovely night sky that set stars ashine in the millpond, and lit by a new moon that still climbs in this quarter of it, to its rightful position. to the right of the old mill in the depths of the valley. we motored the short distance with Rob, then on his way to the city. As we approached the place that has known us for so long. it. came to mind that it must indeed be very delightful for those out of sight of it for years. to again come with- in range of the familiar and well rememb cd lights of home. And how sad to be exiled from it, never more to enjoy the privilege of walking along an old loved lane, or set foot on an esteemed threshold, but only to frequent them. perhaps bitterly in dreams! 0 O C

Anorrimn cause or~’1isrnMA

In my student days we did not know the cause of asthma. 'D.ie patient simply coughed until he brought up asinall plug of mucous from one of the branches of the bronchial tubes. Sometimes the patient knelt on a chair with his

hands on the floor, and held hanging down between his arms. and coughed until he

tiny mucous plug was removed.

Today the physician knows that more than half the cases of.ss- thrna are caused by allergy, that is, sensitiveness in various sub- stances such as pollen of plants, furs. feathers, foods. By making various skin and other tests the substance causing the attacks of asthma can often be discovered. Thus living for a part of the day in a room or chamber free from any substance likely to cause as- thmn. help: many cases.

Several years ago it was found that correcting defwts in nose and throat caused disappc unce of asthmatic attacks in many cases, so that. generally speaking. phy- sicians today believe that allergy or nose and throat defects are definitely causes of ssthma. More recently it has been found that emotional disturbances. such as loss of a loved one, cause some cases of asthma. '

Among the defects of line nose is the growth of a spine or sharp process in the zeptum or wall sep- arating the two_nostrils. In “Nose and Throat Journal." Stockholm, Dr. G. de Wit, states that search is often made for defects or other conditions inlthe nose. for causes of asthma. The fact that the re- moval of an exceptionally large and sharp spine from the nasal septum had a favorable influence in some cases of bronchitis induced him to investigate this matter fur- ther. He had the opportunity to make nose examinations on thou- sands of soldiers in Java who had Qethmatic or other forms of bron- chitis. He found that a spine on the septum ‘of the nose was un- usually frequent in men with asthma or persistent bronchitis. This spine is located in the back part of the nose. about a qua ter inch from the bottom of the rigs It forms during the teens. h fact that asthmatic attacks did not occur until after formation of the spine proves the spine the cause. and the fact that removal of the spine prevented further at- tscks of -asthma gives further proof.

when our forefathers some to Prince‘ Edward Island to curve for themselves new homes from the wilderness. they brought with them I few pigs which provided the family with meat the whole year. During the winter months. they ate fresh pork. When sn animal was slaughtered the careers was hung up in some out-building where it was allowed to freeze. Come spring. others were killed and salted down in large barrel: to be used throughout the long hot summe days. Indeed. the lowly pig was the poor man's chief diet. for not only were.these snimsls dirt cheap. but they msnegedgto feed them- selves on grass, artichokes, and various roots and belt». Vlhllh st that time grew abundantly in the mighty forests. O O C During the summer months the pigs run wild. They were lank hungry looking creatures with little enough meat over their bones. How did the farmers fat- ten them for the family larder? Did they pen them up in the Fall and feed them grain sndpoisfoes? They did nothing of the kind. In- deed. potatoes and grain were about as scarce as hen’; teeth. Most farmers grew only enough to supply their wants with per- haps a bit left over to be ex- changed at the village store for tea and sugar. The pigs usually fattened on the beechnuts which in those days literally covered the ground in early fall. This was

ter than a lot of the slaughter- house fed stuff coming to our tables today. True. pork fsttened on nuts hsd s pecullsr_ taste and the flesh was I bit soft when com- pared with grain fed animals. but the pioneers liked it well enough. I C C

When they felt like having a change in Lheir meet diet, they would go to the woods and kill a few rabbits. A rabbit pie was considered quite a delicacy. This appetising dish was prepared in the following manner: The meat was chopped up in small pieces. then I generous supply of vege- tables such as onions, carrots, po- tatoes. parsnip: were added.

This attended to. the housewife rolled out I thin crust which was place over the melt and vege- tables in an extra large pan. The whole was then placed in s hot even where it was allowed to cool: for about one hour.

It is interesting to turn back the pages of history to see Just what methods of baby feeding preceded our present use-to-data knowledge on the relationship be- tween infant feeding and infant welfare. If your baby had been born in ancient times you» would have subjected him to I rigorous tresiment cslled suiting. This pro. cedure involved rubbing the baby sll over. except his mouth and eyes. with sods-ssh. This mix. ture was then ‘wiped ed sad the baby washed in..wsrm water. All this was supposed to harden the baby’: constitution. After you hsd sailed the baby you would have wrapped him in ewsddling clothes so he would grow sturdy and straight legged. This’ was done by winding long bands of cloth around the baby's an-ns. legs and body. The American Indisn used a similar process when he laid his papoose on a flat board and packed h-im with skins. bark, and hide. For cenlurlel, people be. lieved the development of strong bodies was a matter of extcrnsl reaiment rather than diet. It was not until this century that science fully grasped the true role of nu- trition in infsnt welifsre.

Milk has slwsys been bsby’s first and most important food. But up until the eighteenth cen- tury only human milk was con- sidered fit for infants. Using fos- ier nurses was a general practise among the well-i.o<lo people. It was not uncommon for babies to be put in squalid nursing homes where they frequently fell ill. when this occurred the nurse would be bled. medicated. or put on s qiecial diet. Up until colonial times babies were fed bread or other solid foods which were first chewed by its nurse and then put into the babies mouth with her fingers.
