These are real nnd urgent ques- tions. But the crucial question which underlies them all, the an- swer to which determines the ana- wers given to all the rest, is the question of the perspecrw, the di- mension. in which the whole issue is seen. Does t reality of God

"Normal experience understood at full depth." At once it is ap- parent that taking God into the reckoning does not mean introduc- ing him as a useful reinforcement of national morale. as, it may be feared, the observance of National Days of Prayer is sometimes inter- preted. It means facing in its full and terrifying implications the truth that the very fabric of hu- man history is ordered in the last analysis by an omnlpoient purpose which is utterly and relentless- ly good. Human life is made to that specification; and because it. is so made, It will work that way and no other.

To believe that is to receive in- renssurnricc and to realize flint a price must be paid for it. And the price to be paid is the sc- ceptance of the fact that this over- ruling power is utterly and relent- lc-sly good. That kind of goodness does indeed mean mercy; but it also means justice.

Strange But True

By F. H. MacArthur

one of the most gruesome rel- ics of the past is the King of Ashanti's execution bowl, which formed part of the spoils taken from Prempeh by the expedition under Col. sir Francis Scott in 1898. Now in the Royal United. Service Museum. it resembles an ordinary bath-tub in appearance and size, and is about five feet in diameter. There is a gap in the rim of the tub in allow space for the victim to insert his neck pre- paratory to execution. The fatal bowl had three places of execu- tion. at the palace; where private executions took place, on the parade grounds for public execu- tions and in the fetish sacrifices.

The blood of the victims was left to putrify in the vessel, when the leaves of certain herbs were added. The concoction was con- sidered powerful fetish medicine. King Prempeh always watched the sacrifices along with the Queen Mother.

Revered Memories

Along the road to Forest Hill From old St. Peters Bay

I often romped and trudged along In work-a-way and play.-

When very young and supple in My childhood days and years

In lii'c's young dawn of long ago With childhootfs tears and cheers.

How I recall the winter's chills And shows of frost and cold when we trudged o'er the spar- rows Road

with bundles hard to hold.-'

In hands so young on bodies small

And feet in snows so dce

We walked in drifts up to

w t . . , o'er fields and hills so steep,-

To reach the haven of our home With warmth from stoves aglow As biizzards swirled around the

house In zero, and below.

Long years have passed since these days were

A part of life's routine

When banks of snow were thirty

our

feet Above the summer's green,- Of ass and hay and grain-fields

DI Andi roads of dusty clay That rolled along in

ways To old at. Peters Day. As now I sit in office warm

That overlooks the town My thoughts go back to former

winding

years of youth and its renown.--

Of things that are so dear to me Though simple and severe

They stand in mental bold relief,- In memories I revere.

throai, though the main effect of was presented to her late Majesty when it comes to wearing clothes

the entire bird is black. In aut- umn. the brown head of the male Cowbird has a purplish appear- ance. ' However. the Purple Finch, which everybody 'declares is not purple at all. but raspberry red or magenta, wears the colour that. though not purple by modern standards, was the ancient.-1' true purple, and a.slgn of great impor- tance. This is the original Tyrlan purple, a colour distilled by

ancient Phoeniclans from the juice of a. certain shell fish. The saying "born in the purple" de-

notes a person of imperial rank. while "raised to the purple" means made cardinal. Therefore, judging the male Purple Finch by the ori- ginal application of the word "pur- ple." we come to the conclusion that it must be a bird of great im- poriancc.

some species more than others show individual differences in plumage. Females and young Pur- ple Finches, dressed demure-ly in brown and grey. might easily pass for a isind of Sparrow with dis- tinctly streaked underparts. The illusion is helped by the fact that these Finches are of average spar- row size. But their bills are stout- er.

Even males differ considerably. For the first year or two. though they are breeding birds, their plu- mage is still much like the fe- males', but there is a more yellow- ish tinge, especially on the rump.

The experienced bird watcher can tell about how old these Finches are by their looks. As they age. their spring coloring becomes more and more intense. until they have acquired wonderful shades, from pale pink to deep crimson,

brightest on the head, breast and K

rump. In clear sunshin the bril- lianca of a male Purple Pinch in its very best costume is smssing to anybody who has previously seen one only in cloudy weather or against the sun. .

As the summer advances, still another change is noticed. The bird's brightness seems to fade be- cause the feather edges have lie-

come dull. Though yet beautiful, it?

is not as gorgeous.
