Thoughts For Our Time

By His Eminence Cardinal Mc(iuigan (Copyright)

TRUE AND FALSE PROGRESS

One of the old catch-phrases laid "time flies". The new one which has supplanted it says ttime marches on". This new phrase is thought to be more zneaningful tlinn the old for it suggests that time has something to march forward to, some place in go.' It suggests progress. Every- one wants to be considered pro- gressive today. no one wants to be called a reactionary. Yet like most things of real value in human life this idea. while it contains a dy- namic truth, is also fraught with dangers. There is such a thing as ii-ue progress but there is also a mythical and unreal progress. This latter very frequently ends up in human disillusionment.

some of the prophets of pro- gress suggest that the very new- ness or novelty of a thing is'its strongest point. The new is al- ways better than the old. Of course, this isn't necessarily so. There are some va.lucs which re- main. some things which are of enduring and even of eternal worth. There are notlacking those false prophets who tell us that religion was alL right in times past but that the present has outmod- or! religion. There are also those who suggest that materialism is the only adult way of life and that all the talk about soul and spirit is childish and primitive. Well. the people who preach such things are no friends of the hu- lllllil IICG.

But the fact that progress can he and frequently is misunderstood should not blind us to the fact that progress is a necessity of the human spirit. Standing still is really human stagnation. In fact there is no such thing as standing still and immobile. We either pro- gress or we die or at least retro- gress. Standing still is reaction- ary.

This very stagnation is a seri- ous temptation to mankind. At almost every age in history there is always the complaint that the people are asleep. Indeed people seem to prefer to sleep. Awaken- ings are usually rough and bitter. They always require acts of cour- age. It is much easier to lie still than to get up and move. To have business as usual. the same placid

IN MEMORIAM

REV. NEIL EDWARD HERMAN, B.

., ..

Many friends not only in this Province, but throughout Eastern Canada have learned with a feel- ing of great loss and deep sorrow of the sudden passing of the Rev. Neil Herman on the evening of February liith in the Prince Ed- ward Island Hospital.

The late Mr. Herman. although advanced in years. had enjoyed good health and had been actively engaged in the ministry of the Gospel until a few days prior to his demise. He had supplied in the Brookflcld charge of the Pres- byterian Church in Canada during the fall and winter months, where his ministry of the Word was highly appreciated. and where the passing of this good man is felt very keenly. -

The late Rev. Neil Edward Her- man was born in Lunenburg, N.s.. 82 years ago and was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Cor- neliua Herman. Early in life he heard the call of God to enter the Christian Ministry. graduating from Acadia University in 1895 with honors in Classics, and receiving his theological training at Pine Hill and Newton Theological Sem- lnary.

He was ordained and called to the Baptist Church. West Med-

way. Mass. U. 8. A. Other pastor-'

ntes which the late Mr. Herman held were in Selkirk. Man., Port- ago La Prairie, Ottawa, Windsor, N. 8.. Truro. Bydney, Moncton. Halifax. and his last pastorate was Central Christian Church, Char- lottetown.

The late Mr. Herman was an able preacher of the Gospel and a keen student of the Word. He failed not to declare the whole council of God, cvcr seeking to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and to bring to perishing sinners a saving knowledge of the Saviour. thus giving true testimony to the fact that he was a true ambassa- dnr of Jesus Christ.

He leaves to mourn his passing. besides a host of friends. a sor- rowlng widow. the former Anne Lydiord of New York City. and one brother. Charles D. of Dart- mouth, N. B.

The funeral was held from the MacLcan Funeral Home and was conducted by Rev. A. K. Herman. a nephew of the deceased. who was assisted by Rev. J. D. Davison and Rev. M. D. Dunbar. Mr. Leigh Dingwcll sang very ieelingly as a solo. "One sweetly solemn Thought."

Hymns sung were. "The King of Love" and "What A Friend We Have In Jesus". The pallbearers were Messrs. Donald Macxinnon. Q.C.. D. L. Matheaon. J. H

Worth. Guthrie Ballingall. ago...

Beer. and A. A. MacDonald. The body was tenderly laid to rest in the People's Cemetery.

Al

monotony day after day. the sense oi security. seems to be the goal of the ma ority. Even when the people su er injustice and degradation and humiliation the majority seem to prefer to suffer it than to do anything about it.

It is this apathy on the part of the people which is the source oi very great dangers to them. They have to be wakened up and even aroused and very frequently the people who arouse them are not their true friends. Hitler did a very efficient job of rousing the German people after World War I. and led them into the much worse World War II. Lenin and Stalin roused the Russians and led them to the terrors oi the police-state.

O 0

The people do need prophets but where this need exists there is always the possibility of false prophets as well as true. There are thieves who aim to dominate men as well as servants oi tiic people who seek to set them free. This condition is especially prev- alent in times of crisis and trans- formation. It is especially prev- alent today. It behooves us to follow the true prophets a'nd not. the false and it is not always easy to distinguish them.

We pride ourselves on our de- mocracy. In democracies it is the people who are king. Yet the people do not seem to recognize both the responsibilities and duties oi such an office. Nor do they realize the dangers. True, ll king needs counselors, inspired and de- voted vants. He needs men around im to advise him on ways and means oi betterment. But they should not be "taken in" by them.

Here again we meet the danger. Should the fear oi being ”tuken in" reconcile us to the status quo? What would have happened to the union movement if such had been the attitude of the workers? What would have happened to the movement for the aboliahment of slavery? What would have hap- pened to every movement which has sought for the emancipation oi man? .

The answer is quite easy. We would still be barbarians. Look at the moieties that have shut out progress. They are in exactly the state they were in thousands of years ago. Of course there are some who would say they are bet- ter off. such men are apostles of despair. There would never have been the emancipation oi women. the freedom oi citizens. universal education. scientific progress or even laws and constitutions.

The conquest oi human dignity has not been achieved. There are elements and forces present which seek to destroy it. should we be satisfied with consolidating our gains? To do so would be to lose them. We can't stand still with- out loss We either march for- ward or retreat. Time marches on and we have to march on with it or die.

tNOt1c2s. EAST ROYALTY Winter Hiking

During the past winter the Roy- alty Scouts kept the emphasis on outdoor scouting when they held their t.hird winter hike. These hikes not only provide some of the Scouts with their winter campers badge but also valuable knowledge in the art of taking care of oneself in the open at all times under any weather condit- ions.

Although thc temperature was well below zero and the snow piled in high banks all around them. the boys and their leader thor- ouprhiy enjoyed themselves. The boys on the last hike say that their food and rest were Just as good as at home.

During this last hike several oi the boys passed tests in First Class Cooking. Tree Felling. and Estimations. A list of tests and those passing them will be pub- lished later.

Ice Hockey

Well fellows. ice hockey is all finished for another year. And. even though the East Royalty Scouts and Cuba didn't win the trophies in their respective leag- ues. they botii enjoyed plenty of good clean hockey during the past season. The Scouts played twenty- three competitive games and the Cubs thirteen.

The winners of the individual trophies for the group were Sandy MacDonald foi' the Scouts and Frankie MaeAusland for the Cubs.

Cub Party

On Friday. pril 4th Cubs from the 1st and 6th Charlottetown Packs motored to East Royalty Scout Hull where they joined the Royalty Cubs in a party which was a finale to the fun- acked hockey season just past. wh ch all of these Cubs enjoyed. In all about one hundred Cubs and leaders attended this party.

This party consisted oi games. songs. stories and lunch. During the party several trophies were presented including the special one for the Sixth Charlottetown Pack, the winners of the Char- lottetown - Royalty C u b Hockey League. Winners of the other tro- phies, presented for the most val- able member of each team. were as follows: First Charlottetown. Paul Arsennult; Sixth Charlotte- town. Sonny Mahar and Frankie Callaghan: East Royalty. Frank MacAusland. Congratulations to all these boys and the Sixth Charlottetown Pack. May we have more such gatherings in the fut- iire.

other Activities

At present the Scouts and Cuba of East Royalty are busy at test work which will soon bring them up to their objective in Plan Achievement.

Now that ice hockey has ceased. indoor hockey has taken its place at the Royalty. Many teams have been organized and play regularly at their Scout headquarters. If any team would like to play the Royalty lads. inform the Royalty SM. and a game can be arranged.

To raise funds for camp the East Royalty Group Committee are having a series of card part- ies. Thus lar they have been quite successful nnd may we hope for continued success in this fund- raising endeavour.

Mrs. Roosevelt Sees Major Role For India

NEW YORK, April 19-10?) - Mrs. Pranklin I). Roosevelt said last. night that her recent visit to India gave her "tr.-mcndous hope" that India will be "the country" of Asia.

"I think India can give strength to other countries and give back to some of the older democracies a little of the ideals they started with many years ago." she told a meeting of the India League of America. "That will do something for the whole world."

As an indication of the new spirit abroad in India, Mrs. Roose- velt cited the 62 per cent of vot- ers who voted. in recent elections.

"we oi the old democracy who have grown rather apathetic about our responsibilities might learn from this new democracy because this election was a great privilege to them. Scmctimes it rains on election day. and sometimes it is too much trouble for us to find out what our candidates stand for. But in India they have some of

the enthusiasm we have lost."

Two Pills Daily Can linocli Down Blood Pressure

By Alton L. Blakeales Associated Press Science Reporter NEW. YORK. April 15-(AP) - Two pills. taken daily. can knock down high blood pressure and often keep it normal.

The two drugs offer a practical method of controlling high blood pressure. but are not a cure. They are powerful and must be used carefiiily. Their use has to be continued. It's too early yet to tell whether trouble may come from long-time use.

This -is the substance of a re- port. prepared by Dr. Henry A. Schroeder of Washington Un- iversity. St. Louis. for the Amer- ican Heart Association in Cleve- land.
