BIN AND FOROIVENEIB (The London-’ninu)

: In all probability the offence of Ohrietlanity for most people to-day lies where it has usually lain in the past, in its insistence that the most urgent problem of human life is that of sin. No doubt there has been

much exaggeration under this head.’ in cold wumen soup m,

an that an account of human nature has sometimes. been given which is less a descriptive than a caricature with all traces of its divine origin obliterated and" its dignity disparag- ed

Sin has been taken in too in- dividualistic a fashion. insufficient allowance being made for the evil that comes by the pressure of social and environmental tnrres. Furthe’-, sin has at times been equawd with nisdemeanours 01 no great mom- ent, unduly magnified by someone who has dared to set up as a judge of his fellows.

But. when all allowance has beei made for such considerations as these. the fact remains that to think lightly of sin is impossible for one who derives his inspiration from the New Testament.

Each human being is in the world for a mission. That mission does not cor.si.»t in doing this or that. since otherwise it would be at the mercy of circlim:taiices. It consists rather in being a true person. and that is something which can be achieved in and through whatever circumstances make up one's lot.

But this insight that life is com- mitted to a man for a purpose brings with it the consciousness that he has not risen to that height. It is not that life has been stained with gross evils, but that it has not been taken with that sober thankfulness and glad dedi- cation which are its due. He who’ is not condemned by his fellows for whai: he has done may well have his moments of self-examin- ation in which, sadly, he condemns himself for what he has not been

It is with this situation that for- giveness deals. To understand life in personal terms; to see that to be permitted to be human is to have confidence placed in one by God—this keeps open the possi- bility of a renewal oi the enterprise of living faithfully even when one has failed in it again and again.

A person who has trusted another once can reaffirm that trust even when he who has been trusted has

hown unworthy of it. when that fieppens in human relationships. the only adequate response to such goodness is in the resolve never again to betray it. The divine for- giveness has the same efficacy for those who allow the wonder of it to possess their whole souls. God in- vites a man to take up again the task on which he has defaulted, and assures him that this time he will

Ilicceed where before he failed.

. . I be brewed from inexpensive mate- .

rial, such as dried beans and peas. meat bones. etc.

A thin soup like broth or con- somme makes an appetizer to start a hearty meal or the hot cup that cheers between meals. But a sturdier. thicker. more nourishing soup is suggested soup is to be the only hot di at a meal, especially for growing children. Too much liq‘-lid 1“ soup served along with milk to drink may be so filling that the children will not want other food they need. Soup in school or home lunches for children should be accompanied by a hearty Sand‘ lvich with protein filiing—(meat. peanut butter, egg. fish). and 3 crisp salad (shredded cabbage. lettuce. carrots, etc). so that the meal will meet children's needs for growth, energy and vitality.

Three types of soups could be suggested for their very nourish- ing qualities: 1. Cream soups. re- inforced with added milk pro- ducts such as dry milk. evaporat- ed milk or grated cheese: 2. thick meat or fish soups. with vege- tables and rice, noodles. macaroni or other cereal products; 3. thick been or pea soup. which is espe- cially lasly if made with ham bone or salt pork and flavorful vegetables like tomato. onion and celery. '

Some appetizing ways to step up the protein of soups are: — sliced-hard-cooked eggs on top of cream of spinach or asparagus soup. Toast or crackers with cheese melted on top floated on soup. Cooked sausage or small hamburg balls. sliced cooked frankflirter rings. slivered cooked meat added to soup. Peanut bul- ter stirred into cream soup for diflerent flavor snd added food value.

cream can be made by heat!!! three eggs to a stlfl froth. Then gradually pour over them boiling tea until the thickness of cream is obtained.

Miss Wilson appears to have made

a career out of “firsts" and out of

(Miss Wilson let this date slip by accident-—but when queried said _it would be alright Or use it.) some years after this she came ;to Moncton for 1 three month visit — and has been there ever Isince. While there she has been a -leader in promoting public healh Iin the Marltimes. : It was Miss Wilson. for instance. who instigated the first g oup health insurance plan in Monc on long before Blue cross invaded

that territory in 1943, however. the Maritime I-Iosnital A<.=o:~ia’lon came into he‘ng and Blue C"oss‘ began inzuring peowlc anal st hos- pital costs. Miss Wilson became executive director.

This brought her two

— but after the Dominion ex-

deal with Newfou.dland as the newest member of the Maritime

gone famously.

Indicative of hei success is the fact that at preseni 25 per cent of the maritime population is pro-

And there is also the fact that the governments involved — the four provincial ones and Ottawa-—hsve made her chairman of a board to investigate health conditions in the esstem area.

A March xsin spsrklu against a window, from s , night which crowds the panes darkly, to make it rather dreary and yet_in the prevailing mlldness allows folks s nice respite from the continued frosts of late. Bill the arrival of this felling weather, for a time over-shadowed Jamie‘; custom- army serenity. because this even- ing was to have given him that especial and much anticipated out- ing to rink. We could sympathize with him in his disappointment. and were agreeably surprised to find little complaining but an ac- ceptance of the —fact:, and very soon he turned his attention to other interests. Blessed is he. or she. that unable to remedy some unfortunate twist of circum- ~stsnce or fate at once accepts it gracefully. and bends skills to- wards gaining therefrom com- pensatlng interests and pleasures! Jamie is one who finds no scarc- ity of endeavours to fill his hours.

indoors, if left to his own in- clinations, he can amuse himself quietly and with engrossing in- terest, printing, writing. drawing. modelling in plasticine or build- ing make-believe machines with a Tinker Toy. which offers numer- ous possibilities to such as he. There are, of course, those oc- casions when he declares he “never saw such a child as that young lad is, to bother s fellow!" and as well there are the delight- ful perlods when the two play and work as one. However, we sensed a disappointment this evening. “What do you say if we read a few chapters in‘ your book before bed-time?” we proposed. It was an exceedingly agreeable sugges- tion, and strangely enough. as we read. in e re-reading that has car- ried us along these pages with I consuming interest many times, we found we were loath to close the book when st length the clock warned him of his retiring hour.

I tell ye, the critters often took us out of our warm beds in the middle of the night snd. guns in hand. we'd chase ‘em all over the place -— sometimes. however, the’ shoe was on the other foot. so to speak: those were the times the bears chased us. The critters al- ways- seemed to know when we were unarmed.
