Tpke your stand at the- corner at Queen and Yonge streets and watch the tide roll by - the tide of human life. Hour after hour il..passea with volume undiminish- rzd until the close of day. Each individual in that vast throng is living in a world of his own - the home that built him, the home that he has built. or is build- ing, or proposes to build, the work he is doing with his aims and am- bitions. the relationships in which he lives with- his loves and. per- haps, antagonisms.

A large proportion of those peo- ple are so intent on the objects immediately before then that they are unaware of that divine pres- ence brooding over them. with His will and purpose in which they are involved and with His heart and mind in which they have a place. Others there are who live in constant communion with this Divine Being and give over their lives to the fulfillment of His will. But whether recognized or ignor- ed. that divine sovereignty is over every human soul. ruling those who obey and overruling those who rebel.

Movements epoch-making in their significance -and effects have risen out of this Divine Spirit's self-revelation to men as waters rise out' of a spring.

IN MEMORIAM

M. A. KELLY

The death took place in Char- lottetown on Feb. 28 of Miss M. A. Kelly in her 83rd year fami- liarly known to her many friends and acquaintances as "Mary Ann". She was the last survivin-g mem- ber of the family of the late John Kelly and Catherine McDonald and spent most of her life with her parents at the old h- mestead in Kelly's Cross.

To know her was to love her and many can recall a happy hour or" two spent with her in her home from where no one ever loft hungry as she was ever ready to i-eplervisbhthe weary traveller and at the same time sympathize with the afflicted. She was I talented organist and soloist and for years sang and played the morning masses in her beloved St. Joseph's Church and it is only fair to say now she is enjoying the reward of this most beauti- ful of all works singing the praises of God in Heaven. Her father was the genial and efficient post master in Kelly's Cross for almost sixty years when his daughter took over and after -serving the pulblic for some time she was forc- cd to retire owing to ill health. she then made her home in Char- lottetown where she passed peace- fully way on the above mention- ed date. Her funeral took place by motor hearse from the Frank Hennessey Funeral Home to Kelly's Cross church on March 3rd where requiem high mass was celebrat- ed by the pastor. Rev. Kenneth Maolifillan who also performed the last rites at the grave where she was tenderly laid to rest in the family plot. a large number of old friends assembled to pay their last tribute to one they had loved and respected so much. The pail bearers were John W. Mc- Kenna, John McDonald. Dominic Mononald, John P. Carragher, Josqh Carragher and Mark Cur- la

y.

Her only immediate relatives. left to mourn are her brothers children: Mary (Mrs. Ed. G- Wayne), Toronto: Margaret C. in Montreal, Maurice in Western Canada. Vincent in Vernon River and Joseph in Borden.. To those is extended our most heartfelt sym- pathy in their bereavement. May she root in peace.

The nephews and nieces of the late Mary A. Kelly wish to thank the good friends who so kindly sent mass cards and measale-9 of sympathy. also those whb brav- ed the cold winter weather to ac- company her remains from Char- lottetown to Kelly's Cross. To all those they extend their most ain- cero thanks.

The first effect of God'n self- communication to an individuai is the renewal of the man him- self.' A new moral power is found in his communion with God. Self. Cqnquast is gained by self-com. mitment to Christ. A new dynn. mic enters olie's life. The joy of the Lord is his strength. The Pace of God stands guard over his soul through all the storm and stress of his career.

NM IOYIZ 520 a thousand men. and more. gathered in our city to celebrate their deliverance from a degrading bondage by the help of a power beyond them- selves and to consider how they may share their new freedom with others. I speak what I know when I affirm that there is no limit to what the grace of God in Christ can do for an individual. Trust Him under calamity and the C105- ing of one door of opportunity leads to the opening of another. John Milton. shut out of the high office he had held. gives us "pa.-. adke Lost", John Bunyan in prison produces 'The Pilgrim's Progress."

What is even more significant these days. is that Christ's entry to a human llife loath to achieve- men-t. Back in the eighties there was a remarkable spiritual move- ment in the colleges of Canada. Among the products of that move- merit were men like J. G. Shearer. S. D. Chown and T. Albert Moore. When these men were leading the departments of moral and Social Reform in their .espec- tive churches they organized cam- palsnc against evils established in the laws and social customs of our Provinces. They proved that our people care about the moral con- ditions in which their children grow up. The Lord's day was made a rest-day for our people. Bar-rooms by the thousand were closed all over Canada. and the' law was enforced far more affec- tlveiy than the liquor laws of Ontario are today. Gambling was checked. Political patronage was assailed, and appointments to the civil service were made on the grounds of merit. Many other evils were attacked. It was a crusading age, and the conscience of Christian citizens responded. The leaders of our Church dc- partments are as able and cour- ageoua today as ever, but they are not getting the same response. Ground is being lost in the de- fense of the Sacred Day. in the Temperance cause. and in the war sgainst gambling and other forms of vice.

Why do not Christian people recognize that spiritual privilege involves moral responsibility? God is coming into -human life as fre- quently as ever and His support is available to faith. Our young Christians are a splendid band. May we not expect "the called of God" to arise in their might and challenge .and overthrow the evils of our time?

At this moment thousands of small. live airplanes are making their AWHY north homeward bound. How migrant: find their goals has for centuries been a controversial subject. and as yet nobody has satisfactorily solved the mystery. some say birds have a special sense of direction. with its Seat in the ears or nasal pass- ages: others are convinced a magnetic sense is the important factor. Of recent years it seems to have been proved that radar can upset the course of cutain spe- ies. However. there is no doubt in anyone'a mind as to the superior- ity of birda' eyesight to ours: they may be able to see as far as the curve of the earth allows.

Vultures are renowned for keen vision and high flying. From an altitude of thousands of feet they are able to detect carriion hidden in bushes.

Canada is the world's chief source of supply for seed potatoes. This country ships minions of bushels of quality certified seed spuda each year to I-epleuiab the world of one of maxiklndis popu- in foods, and the highpst quality of potatoes are grown in the Gar- den of the Gulf.

The ancient Chinese farmer de- termined the proper planting time thus: Early in spring he drove a bamboo pole into the soil. Inside the pole was a feather. As the earth warmed. the air in the hollow pole gradually lifted the feather. until it came out of the top. Then the farmer knew it was time to plant his seeds.

some years ago a half frozen robin was found by 9. Racine, wis- consiri police officer. He got busy. made a box for Mr. Redbreast and shipped him off to the Chief of Police at Jacksonville, Fla. A note inside the box requested that the bird be released and warned not to return North without a muffler and spats.

One day in Missouri. an sion train carrying a group of Sunday School children ran into a thunderstorm. As the iron horse rounded a curve, the engineer was horrified to see an open switch ahead. Quickly he tugged at the throttle. What happened? First, a deafening crash of thunder. then a flash of lightning, and the train passed by safely. Stopping the train the conductor walked back to find out by what miracle they had been saved. By striking be- tween switch and rail the lightn- ing had closed the switch, believe it or not!

UITAWI. -lwhen Finance Min- ister Abbott boosts our taxes next Tuesday to get more money for de- fence, Albert Kenneth Eaton may well smile quietly to himself and think "That's my boy!"

F:r while Dr. Eaton didn't tell the Minister what to do, he told him how to do it. Assistant Dep- uty Mlinister of Finance, his spec- ialty is taxation. Thus, when the Government decided it must in- crease taxes to pay the huge dc- fence bill this year, Eaton's job was to recommend what new taxes should be levied. or what old tax- es should be boosted.

So, several weeks ago. he went to Abbott with a number of alter- native tax programs. What, they were, neither he nor anyone else will say. But it's fair assumption that they called for varying de- grees of increases in personal in- come and corporation taxes, in the special 15 per cent excise tax on luxuries and semi-luxuries. and in liquor taxes.
