A long time ago, before our civ- mzntiall existed. Christ stood up in the Temple of Jerusalem and said: "1 am the Light of the World." This seems to be an extravagant claim. Precisely what did Christ mean by it? Notice that He does not say "I give light to the world”. but "I am the Light of the World." This would seem to argue that His my Person was of such power as to enlighten not only the people around Him, but the whole world. which includes its in our present darkness.

How is Christ as light, for the world? And how can we contact the Person of Christ. which is this light? Christ's doctrine is with us today. His Church is with us to- day. He is with us today as the Head of which we are the mem- bars, as the Vine of which we are the branches. The teaching of Christ stands today as it stood in the Middle Ages. and when Rome fell. and when St. Paul was struck from his lmrsc. Christ's teaching sltmds. silently providing a pattern of peace for all men. The words that. announced the advent of Christ were "Peace on earth to men of good will". Whenever the light of ChrLst was allowed to shine in all its fullness. as it. did among the early Christians, there followed a peace which the world could never give nor persecution lesson. And in exact proportion as h1l'n fell away from Christ and His

doctrine, to that degree peace was lost.

The "failure" of Christianity, which objectors intcrpose. is not the failure of Christ or His doc- trine. It is the failure either of individual Christiana. or of those

who refuse to investigate this light which Christ claims to be. Sonia Christians there are who keep the light of Christ to illuminate only their own rousehold. without thought for their fellow men who sit in darkness. This is not the at- titude of Christ who emphasized repeatedly the love of our neigh- bour. No one of us having ilwo light bulbs would let our neighbor who had none remain in darkness. The world could be transformed overnight if Christians followed fully the teaching of their Master. Think of how different things would be if each Christian was bent on bringing the light of Christ into the world: Love. know- ledge, kindneu, consideration-or any other reflection of Christ. 0 C O

A candle in the sunlight does not seem to be anything. But. a candle in the dead of darkness can be seen for miles. as our experi- ence durlng the blackout proved. A Christian.even though he be alone. can be a great influence in bearinf. light in the darkness. or again. a single candle does not give a very strong light. But a hundred can- dles grouped together is almost too much for one's eyes. If Christians consciously and openly reflected the light of Christ there would be no darkness, no confusion. no in- direction.

But there still would remain those who struggle with human means and refuse to investigate the light which Christ claims to provide for the world. "There are none so blind as those who will not see." as the saying goes. If we

find ourselves in a dark corridors and someone tells us there is :1, light switch at our ritzht'hand. we instinctively reach out and turn it on. When Christ stood up in the, Temple and claimed to be thet Light of the World he wasn't; sneaking idlv. much less deceiving. He meant that if we looked in Him. and let His lieht be nurszuldr we would find our way. He meant exactly what He .sai'i. I C

There is something paradoxical and pathetic about this age of ours which is so rich ill nliysical llchi and so poor in snlritual light. One has only to so through the main streets of our city at night to are how modern illuminated advertis- ing laughs at the darkness. and throws sparkllna colors from shop and theatre until the sun returns Anyone who has flown nyoralawrc city at night is enchanted bv the vast stretch of beautiful, slowing brilliance of the throbbing life be- neath. But many of those who walk about bathed in this light have clouded, confused minds. and hearts where fearful shadows lurk. This physical light cannot give direction, nor can it remove the darkness of our times.

Christ, the Light of the World is many times brighter than any Neon sign. or magnificent group of signs or searchlighta. His light is joyfully shining, if only we would open the door of our hearts and minds to let it in. His light shows a way of happiness, is way that brings eternal life. Human light. be it physical or rational, could never be as bright as this. "I am the Light of the World. He who follows me does not walk in dark- ness but shall have the light of life."

Due to the sudden death of King George VI, the college will be closed in mourning next Friday. In accordance with this the stu- dent council decided to postpone the Valentine Formal until after the funeral. It will be held in the college auditorium next Monday night.

Some new extra-curricular sci.- ivltles have been started by sever- al of the Teachers and student's who werenviiling to donate their valuable time for these projects. The college wishes to further the students' education in other dir- ections other than the books and as a. result have begun extra clubs and classes as: The badminton club held on Saturday afternoons; dancing lessons on Thursday alf-

ternoons; student youth fellow- ship organizations: besides art courses and courses in classical

music. Many of these things are also taken up by the Saturday- nlght club which is composedTa'fT. great number oi college students.

Joey Hoyt is leading the rest of the Welshman in the scoring race in basketball, he is well up with the top players in the other teams. Joey along with John Maclvaught and Tommy Scantle-bury nearly upset the "Y" the other night by only dropping a few points below the winning team's score. Their playing is improving steadily and they will win games in the near future when they reach their peak as a team rather than a group of players.

In the hockey world the House League has finished its schedule and the players are moving into the finals this week. At the end of the schedule, Brlar Chandler moved into the lead in the scor- in: race and his team finished on top. Chandler's team was elimin- ated in the semi-finals. The Welshman after winning their first two exhibition games went down to defeat in their last en- counter against the Montague team last week. Orville Wood was the star of the game at Montague when he scored two goals. The juveniles went down to defeat in their first came against the sup- erior Juvenile Abbies.

The long awaited game against the team from King's college in Halifax is scheduled the latter part of this month.

Mr. Altkens, the organizer of the club. taught Eng- llsh in Bordeaux for two years and over there had arranged a club somewhat along the same lines as the one here. l-le has been in correspondence with them since he came back from France and has arranged for an interchange of magazines and other types of literature along the same lines. This tends to create an Internal- ional fellowship for which the rest of the world is also striving.

Whitehall Notebook

By ALAN HARVEY

Canadian Pr and Writer

IJDNDON. F . 9-(OP)-In the depression winter of 1929-30 a young Scotsman visited Ottawa and Toronto to study Canada's technique of documentary film pro-

duction. From these beginnings. Perthshire - born John Grlerson helped create a style . of screen

realism which became world is- mous.

Now, in hard-up, post-war Brit- ain, the story takes an ironic twist. As an economy measure, the gov- ernment agency in charge of docu- mentary films is to be closed. Thus Britain, which originally drew in- spiratlon from Canada. bows out at a time when the National Film Boards of countries like Canada, Australia and New zealancl are flourishing.

The decision to close the Crown Film Unit was announced in the British Government's now pay- our-way-or-perish austerity pro- gram, outlined in the House of Commons Jan. 29. Orlerson, still producing feature films and docu- mentaries but now outside the government fold, described the closing as "a disaster of the first order."

Government intervention in film production started soon after the First World War, and Canada and France were the pioneers. In 1929 Britain began to see the possibili- ties. Grierson. then in his early (we. produced a classic called "Drifters", a down-to-ee.rth pictor- ial record of the North sea her- ring fleet.

"It wasn't any red-sails-in-the sunset affair," says Gricrson. "Just a formal rendering of the real thing."

Borrowed Brilliance

The same year he was sent to Canada to bormw ideas from the Canadian Film Bureau, headed by Frank Badgley. Back in Britain, Grierson gathered about him such great names as Benjamin Britten. W. H. Auden, Basil Wright. Sir Arthur Elton, Stuart Legg, Alberto Cuvalcanti and the late Robert Fiahetrty, who produced ”Nanook of the North" and long had head- quarters in Toronto. Quickly the British documentary movement overtook and passed the one in Canada. Grier-son and his colleagues raised the factual film from the instructional--to the imag- inative level. Such features as "Industrial Britain", "North sea", Coal Face", and Grierson's favor- ites. "Scng of Ceylon" and "Night Mull" helped establish a tradition which became the envy of other countries and provided the basis for the famous series of films on the British people at war.

Later Grierson became chief of

Job he took for a tentative iihree months and held for years. This was the same man who on an ear- lier visit plundered Canada's film library "of just about everything you had" to form the basis of a similar national library in Britain.

Or is it? Grieraon predicts that in traditional British fashion it will just "go around the corner" and start up somewhere else under a new name. Meanwhile Group 3, the company with which Grierson now is associated. may help fill the gap. The Scotsman who bor- rowed so freely from Canada now is at work on "Tho Brave Don'f Cry". a film about a coal-mining disaster in Scotland which Grier- son claims will be the biggest doc- umentary since the war.
