OUT 0! '1'!!! WORLD'S EVIL

Th, goy of the Esstertlds has gut fined our souls. The lilies are phloem in all directions. the roots out of which they ll'0W Ind through which they are sustained .14 deep in the soil. Through them the black substance below is trans- formed into the shining I101?

The sin of mankind came to its head in what the wicked did to the son of God. That crowning sin God took as the occasion for the moral triumph of the ages. The Son of Man's descent to death was the condition for His victory over sin and death, a victory won in our interests and which we h. re. 5 There is a story of Michael An- g9l0'S statue of the young David whlfh illustrates this truth. The statue is of the young shepherd in the act of throwing the stone, and everyone admires the curve of his body as he swings back to deal the fatal blow. A bungling sculp- tor had hacked into a noble block of marble and had cut s deep gash in its side. Then he threw ii. aside and for years it lay under the rubbish in the yard. Michael Angelo saw it and its possibilities. xi, was in hewlng out the curve of the body round that gash that he iimught out the sway of the young warrior as he poised for the dead- if: stroke. The gash was the occa- sion of artistic perfection, sug- gesting it first, and then guiding the artist's hand in bringing it out. How often God has done that with the evil of the world: the crowning triumph on Easter morning is only the perfect ex- temple of a universal principle.

Josephls experience is an exam- ple of God's action in this direc- tion. After Jacob's death his bro- thers feared that Joseph in his place of power would take veng- eance on them for selling him in- to slavery. But when they cards to him about it. he answered: As for you. you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass. as it is this day. to save much people alive." It was a terrible thing for a young lad to be sold as a. slave in a foreign land, and Joseph's humiliation reached down to the depths, but every step downward was a step

toward his rise to the first place!

of power. He was the one man of his time whose soul was so open to God that God could speak through him and move a whole nation to provide for a famine years ahead. and God brought him to the position in which his great- ness had its opportunity by over. ruling the wrong which his broth- ers did to him.

This is just an example of the way in which God ovsrrules evil for good and brings the best out of the worst. Easter is the su- preme instance of this wondrous grace. .

One of the most successful workers for the victims of the underworld that Canada has ever known was prepared for it by a cruel experience of that very, evil at the hands of one who had the appearance of trustworthiness. One who went through the depths could understand the remorse and despair of those similarly trapped or forced into evil. This does not justify the evil or warrant any complacency about it.

The people thus emancipated and used of God are always stern and uncompromising in their con- demnation oi the sin of which they were once a part. But one cannot study the effects of the experience of men like St. Augus- tine in ancient days. and men like John B. Gough, Jerry Macsuley. and S. H. Hadley in our time without recognizing that God of- ten uses the sinful experiences of men's past to fit ti m for services which no other ca render. Such stories also illustrate the truth that "man even at his worst. is a being of priceless worth to God as a. moral personality:

. .

One of the thoughtful observers of social conditions in our time encouraged us the other day with the suggestion that we are on the verge of a great advance toward better standards of living and higher social conditions. God can turn the miseries of our time into good as He did that first Easter morning. The curse of war. the cruelty and tyranny with which totalitarian systems in a l n t a in themselves, nationalistic uprisings in other lands and the violence with which they are put down are evils of great magnitude and threaten still greater ones for the future. I

But God is still on His throne. and it is still true that. "He oo- operates in all things for 800d with them that love Hll . He is using these very evils as scourges to awaken the privileged people! of the world to their reeP0nIlbll- ity for the sufferings of the un- derprlvileged and to their ability and obligation to alleviate them. We recognize IIS never before that even nations can kccp only what they share, and that failing to give will mean, sooner or later. ceasing to have. When this con- viction issues in action the better day will dawn.

May we not cherish the hope that God will ovcrrulc for good in the same way our own failures, mistakes and wrongs which We regret so deeply? God will surely do His part when we do our best to right them.

In Birdland it all depends on the species whether or not the male must share the burden of

Mr. Baltimore Oriole does not even assist in weaving the hanging basket home. His wife is the expert.

Ricbins are interesting to watch, for they build in places clearly visible, and the parents can eas- ily be differentiated. His head is darker, his breast redder than hers. Both help to construct the nest. They take turns 1?CllbIllnK the eggs, later brooding be small nestlings and feeding them. The ma.Jorlty'of our song birds thus divide household duties between them. and so do some other spec- ies. Auks, Murres. and Pumns take turns covering their eggs to keep them warm, and the male Shearwaters and Marsh Hawks both help to feed their youngsters.

some wives are very clever about making their husbands work. While they sit tight on the neat to keep very young children from catching cold, the males must do the marketing. You may have seen a Warbler or a Goldfinch bringing home food to his wife and children. some males spare their busy wives long trips by feeding them in the air not far from the nest. Sora Rails and Cardinals care for older members of the family while the small babies are tended by their moth- ers. All father Woodpeckers are said to take on night duty as the regular thing,but the male '1'hrce- toed Woodpecker does more than that: it is he that cleans the nest. In fact he does everything.

Unlike most species, fcmale shore birds which nest in the far north arrive at their southern. winter quarters som time before the males. Why? lrd watchen have long been puzzled, but now are inclined to think that they have found an explanation: the males have to stay behind to look after the children until they are old enough to travel. It is defin- itely known that, after the eggs are laid, male Phalaropes, which are smaller and dress more mod- estly than the females. do abso- lutely all the work. Probably other shore birds have this same habit, at least to a certain extent.

Island Representation , In Commons Referred To By The frime Minister

OTTAWA. Apr-ii 1a-(Speci-IF specisl reference to Prince Edward Island was made by Prime Minis- ter st. Laurent, Wednesday, when giving the House of commons an outline of the redistribution bill

which the Government proposes to submit to Parliament during

the current session.

Mr. st. Laurent explained that the original rule under the British North America Act was that Que- bec was to have as members in the Commons and that represent- ation of the other provinces would be determined by dividing the pop- ulation of Quebec by do. The quot- ient would determine the populat- ion at! per Commons seat and div ed into the total population of other provinces would fix the num- ber of members they were entitled

a representation in the Commons."

When the debate on redistribut- ion resumes elther on April 21 or later, the case for Prince Edward Island will bg presented in the Commons by J. Watson Misc- Naught. Liberal member for Prince. For some time past, Mr. Mac- Naught has been consulting con- stliutional authorities on the stat- us of Prince Edward Island with regard to its representation in Parliament.

During the Easter recess, it is expected he will discuss it per- sonally with constitutional experts in Charlottetown and carry out further research there.

"In 1911 the population of Prince Edward Island which was 93,128 was only three times the quotient arrived at by dividing the populat- ion of Quebec by 65. and Prince Edward Island would appear to me, from my calculation, to have been entitled to only three members bers, from those that it had at the time of confederation.

"There was serious controversy and discussion over that, and the belief was that Prince Edward Is- land felt that it had come into Con. federation with six, and that their representation shcruld never go be- low six, and that if re-adjustment applied to them. it would apply on- ly when they had gone beyond six. but could not apply to reduce them below six.

"They were so confident in that point of view that they carried their contentions to the foot of the throne. The Privy Council decided Bzalnstrthem and made the decis- ion from which it was afterwards understood that the five percent rule had to pply from one census to another a d with no cumulative effect.

Strange But True

31 I. B. MIOAHIIIII

The late Duncan Matheson of North River never wore anything on his head, winter or summer. save a. black felt hat and, strange but true, his ears never got frost- blttcn. even though he went out on the coldest days.

The wisdom of animals some- times approaches the uncanny. When I was a small boy living on a farm, we had a. cat named Romp that was asprollflcamoth- er as one could find in the entire kingdom of cats. Had we kept but a small percentage of her off- springs the whole Island would, I am sure, have been overrun by the species long ago.

Graridfather usually took care of the executions in his own way. I think he gave them the water treatment though I cannot be certain on this point as they al- ways occurred when my brothers and 1 were out of sight.

Well, one spring Romp put one over on grandfather. When the blessed event came about pussy divided her little family of six and promptly lugged three of her kittens to our nearest neighbors and hid them in his hay loft. The next day grandfather found the kittens in the cattle shed and about a week later, I accidentally stumbled upon a lone youngster in the same place.-a black beauty just like its mom. iwere there any more, grandpa?" I asked him. "You may keep that one," was all the information I"got out of him. About two months later grandfather and I were on our way to the barn when all of a sudden Romp nosedived under the building followed by her four kittens. Grandfather looked at me suspiciously, but before he could get down to the business of cross-questioning me our neighbor stepped from behind the barn and told him how Romp had had her three kittens in his day loft last May.

That settled it. It also settled the fate of all four baby cats for as grandfather often said after- ward: It was the first time a cat cvcr put anything over on him, and if water could be depended upon to knock tricky notions out of Rompis head he felt sure she'd never attempt to trick him again.
