'60:) AND Till NATION (The London Times)

The drama of the Old Thatamcnt turns on the relation to God. not of the individual soul but of the nation, and a nation so situated as to be involved inextricably in the rivalries od great Powers.

With Moses. the people of Israel came into being as at once a polit- ical and a religious community. a nation, with its own rightito exist- ence and yet at the same time con- scious of a misaica' for which that

istencs had been given it.

In the encounter between king and prophet, whether it be Soul and Samuel, Ahab and mijsh. or Ahas and Isaiah, the conscience of the nation embodied in the one joins issue with its policies as re- presented by the other.

Though the message of Jesus is often supposed to have been di- rected to his hearers purely as in- dividuals. a. closer study of the Gospels suggests that he address- ed them also as members of the nation. The summons to . ,. t- ance at the outset of the ministry was a call to Israel to dedicate it- self afresh to the purpose for lwhlch it had been called into be- I1

g. The cleansing of the Temple was provoked not only- by the com-

the market held in its inner court. but at least equally by the fact that the court was the place of prayer for gentile seekers, and thug, 1... rael's duty was to welcome such and not to exclude them.

But the clearest evidence that he was concerned for the nation. its mission. and its fate. as in the tears which be shed over Jerusalem, as he saw in anticipation the doom in store for it and grieved that it had not repented and received him while there was still time.

Ililven a modern nation is not without understanding that it is somehow under God. The Europ- ean peoples are no mere products of geographical accident or histor- ical conquest; in most cases their civilization begins with the accept- ance of the Christian faith, and with it the culture of the ancient world.

Their moral standards are de- rived in no small measure from the Bible. and much of their liter- ature is unintelligible without it. while their common speech is rich in allusions to it. Moreover. it is impossible to suppose that a people which has maintained a continuity of life and tradition through the centuries has not a moral role as well as s. pplitical one.

No nation can be wholly secul- arized. for it will take its secular- ism, its atheism even, with relig- ious fervour and command it as the way of salvation. But no na- tion should use its spiritual mis- sion as a mere sanction for its own interests and ambitions.

The tension between king and prophet in the ancient world re- appears as that between expedien- cy and conscience in the modern- world. A nation's greatest hour is when it is prepared to sacrifice po- litical advantage at the bidding of a mcral ideal.

Cubs. Brownies and Girl Guides all gave very interesting reports which showed that great pro- gress has been made in these or- ganizations. A banquet for the Scouts will be held in March. Mrs. Cook gave an excellent re- port on the work being done by the variety concert committee.

F'l.l.tt'l'ior plans were made for different members to assist on comrnittees during the presuma- tion of the five night variety con- cert. Mrs. Lorne Arsenault was appointed convener of the com- mittee to attend to the sale of candy and Mrs. Beer was ap- pointed converter of the lunch committee. Mrs. E. S. Canliwall and Mrs. Arsenault are the dele- gates to attend iihe Red Cross banquet. .

We are gathered here tonight for a very suspicious but rather and occasion. that of wishing our very good friend John and his charm-. lng wife "bon voyage", and the best of good wishes as they leave 0111' "ll? rltv to take up resiclence' in Saint John.

Throughout the years that John and Mrs. Falle have lived here, they were always more than will- ing to assist in the work for the betterment of our city. and among their many friends this genial couple will be missed, even if John isn't so not playing canasta and cribbage. We all know that Jack. through the medium of Agnew- Surpass. always did his best to ease the footscre and weary traveller as he journeys through this vale of' tears.

I am sure we all congratulate him on his appointment as manag- er cf a larger branch of the com- represents, and -what will be Saint John's gain will be our loss. We would like to take this opportunity to ask you and Mrs. Falls to -accept this small re- membrance as a token of our friendship and esteem. Again wish- ing you, Mrs. Falls and family the best of everything in. your new home. we are

Your old friends.

Strange But True

I; El-I. MacArthur

For the data about New Bruns- wick used in today's column, I am indebted to Mr. L. T. Tingley, City Clerk and Treasurer of the City of Moncton. N. 3., who writes:

"rho extent of damage done by the saxby tide and gals of October 4-5.1869. was very ex- tensive. Two persons were drawn- ed and the tide bore away the bridge crossing the Petltcodlac River. which joins Moncton with the County of Albert. Boats were lifted from their moorings. and in some cases carried from the river, over marshes and deposited on the uplands. They were, in many cases. left there to rot be- cause of the cost which would have been involved to get them back to tide water. The crest of the tide reached 38 feet above river bottom level.

"As you may be aware, there are thousands of acres of marsh- lands lying along the sides of the tidal rivers emptying into the Bay of Fundy. If it were not for the fact that these marahlands are dyked they would produce noth- ing of value because salt water tends to kill navigation. When the lands are dyked. they soon be- come quite productive. To act as a safe barrier against such tides, dykes rise 26 feet above the river

bottom.

"My grandfathtr told me years ago that the 'Saxby' tide rose in three tidal bore stages: the first one filled the river half full, the second raised the Pctltcodl c to the top of the dykes and the third wave flooded everything below the 33 foot elevation and was approx- imately 0 feet higher than the us- ual run of extreme tides. The rea- son given for this unusual con- dition is, that during the day of Oct. 4, 9. high gale from the southwest swept the waters of the Bay of Fundy into the tributaries at the head of the Buy. This gi- gantic wave spread destruction through the Tantramar Marshes at Sackville and Joggins and Mac- can. Nova Scotia, where there is 9. marsh area of about 20 square miles.

"It may be of interest to read- ers of your informative column to learn how the name lsaxbyl came into the picture. . . An amateur astronomer by the name of Saxby. foresaw the disaster. basing his prophecy on the heavenly and earthly conditions existing at the time the tidal wave took place. He even named the exact place (the Bay of Fundy region). where the disaster would occur. Newspapers of the day ran Mr. saxby's predic- tions, but little attention was paid to them. - "strange to say. during the month of November last year. the bore rose to within six feet of the height attained during the Saxby storm, and, save for several breech- ings in the dykes. no damage re- sulted. . . It is not true that only two rivers in the world have bcce tides. This phencmenon may be observed at the mouth of the Amazon, the Hoogly and Indus in India. The Talen-Tiang in China and, at certain seasons, the Severn in England. 50310 5'93”. while working with one of Can- ada's outstanding engineers. now deceased, we discovered that the Chesterfield River. in Canada's Northland. had a lidal bore much more spectacular than the one in
