something more is still needed- nunely, the touch of God. 'mie blossom is fragrant and beautiful but it must be fertilised before it can develop into fruit. The young person in I Christian family may be dutiful in conduct and beauti- ful in spirit and still need the di- vine qulckening In order to be- come a child of God. it. was to a devoted churchmen that Jesus said, "mcept a man be born of water and of the spirltlhe cannot enter the Kingdom of God." At this point the Christian father and mother can only "prepare the way of the Lord" and watch and pray for His action in the soul of the one they love. And God answers prayer.

What is man's part. in this part- nership wibh God? To keep fuel in tn. tam of the motor. From the Divine Spirit must come the spark which transmutes it into energy.

Train young people to read the Bible regularly. Years ago it was a rule in Presbyterian families ft! the young people to read a pass- age of Dcripture every day. A fiery evangelist arose among them whose zeal for the souls of men was all-consuming. He Said Of his fellow-believers that their knowledge of Divine truth was as fuel for the fire of God; when kindled by the Holy Spirit it be- came a source of power incaleul- able. The electric spark in the cy- linder is powerless unless the flat is there waiting to be kindled; the Spirit of God touches the mind and soul in vain unless there is al- ready in it knowledge of God and His grace ready to he kindled in- to action.

True Success Story

senator John E. Sinclair. a as- tive of the Garden of the Gulf., was born at Suinmerfield on De-' cember M. T079. and received his. three 11's in the little country: eohoolhouse. The lack of s col-' loge education did not prevent this farm boy from achieving at place in the sun. nor did he ever forget his country backgi-eund' after he'd risen to a position of importance among his fellow ls-f lander: end Canadian citizens. .

After leaving school. young; Sinclair stayed on the farm where: he was born. and by careful farm-' in methods became an outstsnd-. ing and progressive farmer. In' 1919. he visited Europe as a mem- ber of the "Swine Commission.”

His keen interest in politics paid off as well as did his farm-I ing ventures for he was elected! to the House of Commons in 1917. and was re-elected in the general election which was held in 1921 and again in 1926.

John Edwin Sinclair now was well on the road to achieving high political honours. The old slogan ”you can't keep a good man down" was once more in the course ofi fulfilment. and soon he became a member of the Privy Council.' holding the position of Minister without Portfolio.

His appointment to the Senate came in 1930. where for a period of twenty-four years. he faithfully served in various capacities.

O 0 C 0

Like every true Islander. thei late Senator Sinclair loved the land of his birth with a love,that was true and abiding. The green dslea of summer and the white plains of winter never failed to call from his lips words of praise. We wonder little at this when we take into consideration Sinclair's years spent on the old farm amid charming rural surroundings.

His sound judgment was always available to those who sought his advice. for. as a self-made man. he knew from practice as well as from theory how this or that plan ought to be developed to the best advantage. Whatever faults he may have had. no man can say that Sinclair did not do what he could to advance the interest of his fellow-Islanders.

John Sinclair was highly re- garded by his brother Senators and his family may well feel proud of the important work he performed over a period of years ss a member of the House of Com- mons and of the Senate.

From a farm lad to the Senate. that's quiteva step. It took a lot of guts and courage to bridge the gap. but this boy did it and so can others who are willing to put forth the some effort.

Success does

One can be a success and still pos- sess little of this world's goods. I like to think of the successful mar. as the man who, by his daily acts. leaves some footprint: on the sands of time.

So in closing this brief sketch of the life of the Honorable John Edwin Sinclair. P. C. of Queen's who passed to his eternal reward on December 39. 1949. I quote the following appropriate lines:

"So when a great man dies. For years beyond his ken. Thenlight he leaves behind him as, - A pathway unto men.”

For- guson.

The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. Treasur- er reported 36.55 for month of May. Community Friendship sec- retary reported nineteen calls since last meeting. It was decided to commence packing clothing for

overseas relief. Plans were also commenced for the annual picnic' to be held during the summer. . Offering amounted to 32.10.
