Lenten Meditations IMMOIITALITY (Tho London-Times)

If the triumph of Eastertido af- ter one period of Lent is represent- ed as the assurance of immortality

. independ ‘ly of faith the reason-

is neither valid nor religious. when the fourth evangelist writes that the beloved disciple "saw and be- lieved." the belief was faith's per- ception. and he records the bless- ing of those who have not seen and yet have believed.

St. Paul's assurance that cer- tain oi the original disciples, whom he knew well. saw their master alive after death may reasonably be accepted as decisive: but from those experiences, which lasted lo!‘ a few days, only faith could ri e to the affirmation that Christ is “alive for cvermore."

Whether or not there is life af- fir death is a question of fact and not in itself a specifically religious question. Nor is there any ground for supposing that. simply as a fact. it is any more determined by re- ligious or moral belief than is birth in-to earthly life. ‘

Unless reasonable faith in what

religion calls eternal life can be justified by what we can know in this world, men would need to know of life after death more than they know of 'his life before thee could be ground of desire for im- mortality. Jesus is recorded to have said that those who would not hear Moses and the prophets would not be persuaded though one rose from the dead: and his only re- corded reasoning about immortality is that because God is "the God of the living" the patriarchs of whom Moses called him the God are stl'l alive. “for all live unto him." It is reasoning based on the nature of God. The central theme of Christ's teaching was the reality of the realm or rule of God. of which the constant thought. beneath al the varying imagery. is summed up in his prayer, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done." In the fourth Gospel the great theme is eternal life. but the reality is identical.

For St. John. eternal ,life is “knowing God" and he is clear that there is no knowing God with- out doing his will. It is in the reality of God. of his rule, and of human life therein. that man must find the assurance of his imrriorrtality. Without such faith all human values shrink to tran- sitory and pathetic aspirations, and even the reappearance of one who was dead is a marvel without re- ligious significance.

But with that faith and with the belief that Christ is for man the reflecting mirror of the divine life. the gospel of the resurrection is much more than the assurance of

‘ life after death. It is the seal of

God upon the kind of life embodied in Jesus. d the risen life stands in relation __o eargily "1_i’e not only as wonclrously transcending it but also as its natural development and therefore its true vindication.

ELlEll'S DIARY

By An Island runners Wife l V§%O-+'.4

Indicating a nice event, which if fortune should choose to smile favorably upon the place. could indeed mark well the end of a perfect day, a pink piglet has been carried_ indoors. In a carton that sits close to the heat of the oven. it struggles for life. We have a notion. as mothers will. that this act was done with less apology than if Karolyn were present, though by this, she too has doubt- less grown accustomed to the like. R0-b's attitude is remindful of James‘ to whom an incident like this is only to be expected in that interesting husbandry that is hog raising. "But James!" we have said when the happening disturb- ed our idea of good housewrfery. to be made ashamed with “Would you let the poor little thing per- ish, Ellen. for the sake of a few straws about the floor? It will take only a minute to sweep them up! He's just a bit weak. Ellen — once he's been warmed I'll take him back to his mother. Isn't he a fine one? A pity to let him dis. Yes. they're all big — and so smart, all but this one. and he's getting stronger. Now isn't lie?"

“And Ellen. ihrre wouldn't be a drop of milk that you could warni — it would help to revive him! You know pigs are going to be a fair good price this Spring. and. well, there'll be the sccds to buy. and the fertilizer — and some lime perhaps. And I was hoping to shingle the off side of that bam-roof. if we could gel around to it, and p‘raps put in new sills." And all the lime Jamcs would be fussing over the new-born. t5st- ing the oven for heat. adding a stick to the fire. making the wee animal cornfortable. And before we knew it. we were fixing a formula for it. as carefully as we would for a babe pinning our hopes for the new shingles and all. wilh. it might be. curtains for the sitting-room or a gay spread for the spare-room bed. on the limp creature within which the spark Oif life burncd faintly. at length glowed — or possibly died! thereby creating another "hope deferred." But only briefly. Life on a farm is so many sided it leaves one small time to repine over the like. And besides James would remind us encouraglngly “that next one will likely have a fine litter. so what if we do lose an odd one of these?" And some- how in years-that may have pre- sented a formidable challenge to those taken up with the ways and means of our farming, but were so exciting and good they left with us a legion of happy memories, a roof would be shingled and other

"Isn't he a nice one?" Rob

upon this piglet. whose number even at this farm "in the road" operated now for about a decade. must be well past Jamie's count- ing. We may say. we command s fine measure of respect from him. not for the solace we give him during his mother’: absence. nor for catering to his various needs. but for our ability to read lengthy numbers to him. (In case of our error. how could Jamie question it?) “Waii," Jamie said toying with his blackboard one evening, ‘‘I‘ll put down a Long row of figures that you won't be able to rcadi" "Ha!" we laughed, “doan yo‘ rec- kon yo-all can stick yo’ po‘ole gr-an-mammy!" “There now." chuckled. “just iry that one!"

Pioneer Ilays In P. E. I.

By r. u. MacArthur

When Jean MacDonald came to Belfast in the “Polly“. she was about twenty-five years old.

It was because of her persistent urging, her husband. a ca-rpenier by trade, consented to make the journey to Prince Edward Island. and begin a new life.

The “Polly" was badly over- crowded on that memorable voy- age, for the ship's passenger list revealed that there were more persons aboard than the law of that day permitted. The cabin passengers were few bccausetherc were not many caubins. so nearly everyone had to travel sieerage.

Two rows of shelves. on either side of the steerage quarters, were used as berths. They were divid- ed into eight foot aparimen-‘.s. cach oi \\‘l’llL‘l’l was occupied by six travellers. Now how would you like to travel across the broad Atlantic in a slow sailing vessel with not more than two feet of space in which io sleep?

There was little space for the immigrants‘ luggage. Foul air and confusion added to the discomfort. but these courageous people did little complaining. They had set out With the purpose of hitching their wagon to the star of the New World —~ P.E.l. ——- not greatly con- cerned wiih the present. but ever looking to the future when they would own homes of their own

Helpless Males

Men Are Defenseless Againsl Female Wiles. Says Miss Dix

DEAR MISS DIX: Recently you said in an article that "men park their brains when dealing with women." I agree with you. but you did not give any remedy. Anyway, how should women be treated by men?

‘ BLANK ANSWER: There isn't any remedy for men being befooled by women because God made them that way. It has always been that way from the very beginning. Men have worn blinders instead of -using spyglasses when It came to looking into the real purposes of women and trying to find out what they were up to. Look how easily the first Wflmfln Put it over the first man.

FELL FOR 11‘

He knew he was risking his good home and a

swell job. but Eve rolled her eyes at him and looked wlsiful and hurt because he wouldn't do a little thing to please her like taking a little bite. or maybe she looked scornful and taunted him with being a frnidcat. And Adam fell for it the same as you and all other men fall for the arts and wiles of the women you love. Why women have been pulling off ihe some old tricks from the time of our first mother down to today, and they are still good for emerald bracelets and new cars and trips to Europe. But. of course. every man is convinced that no»woman could fool him. He would see through her motives as if they were a pane of glass. He would know when she wept for grief and when she wept to get a new hot. He would know she meant it when she told him how wonderful he was and how big and strong and noble. He would know that it was just by chance that she happened to be coming by his office door as he was starting home. and that it was pure ac- cldent. when she stumbled and fell into his arms. Oh. no. No woman could put anything over on him?

And that is the reason women smile secretly to themselves while they imitate the clinging vine or weep or pout as the occasion may demand. And that's why wives always have a particularly good dinner of the things that hubby likes best to eat before presenting the bill

'for their new frock or imparting the glad tidings that Aunt Suzanne

is coming for a nice long visit. As to how men should treat women. the present method is satis- factory to both parties. So let it ride.

DEAR MISS DIX: Will you plensc give me all the arguments

in favor of marriage for a boy from a boy's viewpoint. G. A.

ANSWER: There are none. Nothing but a miracle can save A boy's marriage from being a disaster to him and wrecking his life. and miracles take place so seldom that no one has a right to expect one to happen to him and save him from the result of his folly. Against the boy's one argument for marriage you can bring a thousand potent reasons against it. First. that because a boy thinks he is in love is no justification of his marriage because a boy's love isn't made of the stuff that lasts. Secondly._a boy has not had his playtime and is not ready to settle down. After marriage he will be just as anxious to step out and amuse’ himself as he was before mar- riage. Third, it is eternally true that the young man married is the young man marred. The boy who marries before he has got a start in the world blocks his career. Fourth, a boy has no right lo marry because he cannot support a family and It is a dastardly thing for him to burden his poor. hard-worked old parents with his wife and babies. .

And lastly there is plenty of time in which to marry, and there is no reason for a boy to rush into matrimony before he is ready for it.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am A married man and love my wife. and no one could ever come between us. but I live in another city and can only go home for week ends. I work in an office with a girl whose sweet disposition and ladylike ways have won my admiration. She is 33 years old. I am 52. I have been taking her to worktevery day in my car. There is no thought of love or anything of the sort between us. Just good friends. But she says that people are be- ginning to talk about us and refuses to so with me any more. Must we give up a perfectly innocent friendship just because of a few busy- bodies?

' T. B. ANSWER: You will have to give it up if you save the girl's

m Tliai Body Of Your:

By Juana W. Barton. I_l.D. 0 WATII AND, WEIGHT '

The manager of a‘ heavyweight " wanted to build his wrest- ler; up from 180 to no pounds. since he had to wrestle against men waighin, as much as 260 to 2'10. As the wrestler was young and anxious to climb to the top he ate an extra smcund of food. includ- ing several quarts of milk a day. In a few months he was up to 230 pounds but has cut down on hi5 milk as he _does not "need" any more weight.

Recently the manager of a champion hockey team warned cer- tain members that if they wanted to remain on the team they would have to reduce their weight to normal for their height and type of build. one of the players. the best in the league in his particu- lar , - was , "ly warn- ed. Au investigation showed that he was not such a large eater of fat-forming foods but drank a large quantity of milk every day because it was not a solid food.

Just the milk was a good builder for the wrestler, it was also a good builder for the hockey player-who however. did not’need extra weight.’

Many overweight individuals make an honest effort to reduce weight by cutting down on starch- es —— s-ugar. potatoes. bread. candy —-and abo on fats—-butter. crc-am.t fat meats—but will not cut down on water or other liquids because they "know" that water is good for them.

Liquids frush out the kidneys and bowel, regulate temperature of the body; all the juices of the body. digestive and others. must have water. Because the digestive juices of the body need much
