ture united to the divine nature in the Person of the Word-the second Person of the Holy Trinity. There is something strikingly unique about our saviour. He has a perfect hum- an nature, the same as our own. but no human personality. His hu- manity is wholly caught uprin the Person of the Divine Word.

To be sure, we cannot expect to have our personality so perfected as to be replaced by the divine per- sonality of the Word, as in Christ. But we have this to learn from the Incarnation, namely, that our hu- man personality will attain perfect development only if it is in some way caught up in the devine as Christ's humanity was caught up in the Person of the Word. Here the saying of Scripture has a deep meaning, "He that will lose his life will save it."

This all p0i;Ii.I.i.0. the fact that the development of our personality cannot consist in absolute inde- pendence. It is true that in order to achieve a perfectly developed per- sonality we must, in a certain Way. hold ourselves independent of things below us. We must not permit ma- terial goods and our passions and emotions to dominate us. This would be slavery.

But it is equally true that our personality will not thrive unless we submit ourselves to what is above us. For do not our minds need to be nourished by truth, our wills filled with goodness and our souls vlvlfied by divine grace?

These two characteristics thus condition the development of our true personality: On the one hand. independence of things unworthy of man, of inferior and sinful things; on the other hand, ever more willing dependence on God and the things which unite us to Him, especially truth, goodness and divine grace.

By opening our minds to truth. our hearts to goodnes and our souls to grace, we shall therefore grow to a. more perfect manhood and to.a. more fully achieved per- sonality. giving us a self-mastery and an independence regarding things temporal, such as we find realized in the great saints. This could appropriately top the list of our New Year's resolutions.

There was called to her eternal reward on the morning of Novem- ber 22nd, Mrs. Margaret Tuplin of Spring Valley in her sixty-third year.

Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon, November 24th. with a short service at the house followed by service at Keir Mem- orial Presbyterian Church. Mal- peque. Both were conducted by Rev. E. G. Evans who spoke a comforting message to the be- reaved, her daughter Lydis. son Tommy and brothers Archie and William Well. I

The church was filled to capa- city with friends who came to pay their last respects to one who lived a life of service to others. Hymns sung were: "The Lord Is My Shepherd", ”The Sands Of Time Are Sinking", and "Rock of Ages". Pallbearers were John Ril- ey, William Brander, Richard Wall, Kenneth MacLcod, Nell MacLeod and Bruce vcrozier. Interment was in the People's Cemetery, Mal-

Strange But True

I; l'. I. Ilsuchnhn

It seems a part of our human nature to look with fear and sup- erstition on snakes. Maybe the Biblical story that the downfall of our first parents was the serpent, has something to do with this fear. Anyway, it's a. fact that eight out of every ten people Just hate snakes. While there may be plenty of reasons for fearing the poisonous kinds, we ought to re- member that snakes native to our province do not fall into this class. Indeed. the few snakes that have managed to escape our cruel hands are non-poisonous, and very useful, in that they are de- stroyers of countless injurious gruba and insects.

,Let me list a few of the silly superstitions concerning t h e s e pretty and harmless creatures.

Most everyone believes that snakes sting. They don't. The lit- tle forked thing you see going in and out of the creature's mouth is its tongue, a. very delicate and handy nlling instrument; and it is used to test objects as the snake advances. .

And who has not heard the story of the snakes' power to charm other creatures, especially small birds? It's a fact that snakes sometimes rob birds' nests, and certain birds, when an enemy ap- proaches too near their homes. put on an act and pretend to be momentarily helpless in the hope of drawing the enemy away from the spot.

Again, many persons believe that all green snakes are poison- ous. Anyone can handle a green snake as safely as they can han- dle a kitten.

I have heard people vow that snakes have jumped at them. It's the other.way around. Only the black cobra of India is capable of Jumping off the ground.

And so far as is yet known to scientists, no sober person has ever seen a snake milking a cow though you'll come by persons in some parts of the us. A. who will swear that there are milking makes.

Perhaps one of the silllest yarns about snakes is that if they are killed the tails keep right on wig- gling till sun-down. Another Idea, locally believed, is that snakes swallow their young when sudden danger threatens.

.

Snakes can swallow objects larger than their heads due to the fact that their laws are nothing- ed and because there is an extra bone with a double joint permit- ting the mouth to open very wide Yet they never swallow their young.

Our little green snake lays eggs. and our garter snake brings forth its young alive. Young snakes can get away pretty fast when Momma gives the warning signal. Should you be so unkind as to kill the innocent garter snake at this time. before her new babies were born. it would easily give rise to the myth that she had swallowed her young.

Now, having given you some of the fantastic stories about snakes, let me make a plea for kindness to those that chance to cross your path in the future.

. . . Few birds die of old age. Why? Because once a bird becomes feeble it is unable to meet the many dangers that await. it on every side, and death in some tragic form comes like a flash of lightning.

Bird tragedies sometimes hap- pen on a wholesale scale. I will give you a few illustrations.

Our Hungarian partridge some- times seelr shelter beside a hedge. Here they will sleep till daylight. Bud sometimes they are imprison- ed under a new fall of snow and die a miserable death from star- vation. A

Keepers of lighthouses along the coast know the sad story that an- nually ctops up during spring and fall migrations. On stormy nights the birds are dazzled by the strong warning light, and dash them-
