THINKING WITH OUR. EYES

I read an article recently in the British Weekly by Lyn Hamid Hough in which he said that when we think below the eyebrows we think in pictures; but when we think above the eyebrows. we think in ideas; or when we think below me eyebrows we think in images and when we think above the eye- brows we think in conceptions- in other words we think with our

res. yin William Blake's poem, ”The Everlasting Gospel." we find these words: g "This life's five windows of the soul - Distort the heavensifroun pole to pole. ' And lead you to believe a lie. when you see with, not through, the eye " 'Diil'liIg his wanderings Words- worth met a Highland girl near Loch Lomond and was corutrain- ed to write." In spots like these it is he prize our Memory. feel that she intii eyes", and went on to say that till iie.became an old man he would rec the small cablii, the lake, the hay, the waterfall and her-the sllirifl of them all. He was think- jug with his eyes; and again in TiiiiV'i'll Abbey which Mnrk Patti- rmi said was as new to literature in was the sermon on the Mount in religion. we have these words: lift in lonely rooms, and mid the ti:n of towns and cities, I have owed to them (the scenes he had Just beheld) in hours of weariness iIl'll5aLlOllS sweet. felt in the blood and felt along the heart . . . and in them there is food for future

We hear A good deal these days about visual education-teaching tin-ough the eyes. The great tench- ers from Plato on have taught in pictures. This was especially true of the greatest teacher the world

It is surely not ry go 53y that the reading and the study of imasinative literature will help the mind. For one thing we will need in be awake and have our wits about us if we are to under- stand whlt we are reading. Are not many words inst pictures? They. were coined by artiste. As Trench say: many words are fossil poetry.

This from C. E. Montague is worth quoting: If a language would live it must eat. and the English language. in all its times of best health. has been a good feeder, if not a gross one. Nothing that it had It mind to ever stuck in its throat. Mr. Montague deals with this in an. essay called-A living language. ,

I think that one reason why the

Bible is so inlsunderstood is that we are apt to forget that the Heb- rew mind was particularly imagina- tive and so we are too often disposed to take literally what should be read as more or less poetic. Or as B-lake said we are apt to read with the eye and not through it. A Much of the world is as it lands- cape in a blind man's eye. When ye say "Oh, I see it", we are seeing in pictures. This is one reason why in an address a ..tory is remember- ed while most of what was said is forgotten. We have all heard addresses which lacked colour. iciiy regular were they. splendidly dull too. When Saint Paul is at his best as in I Cor. 13. he is im- aginative. He makes Love live-gives it a voice, legs, activity: we see it go down the street. conduct itself. carry about a mantle to throw over the failings of others. capable of putting up with what would cause other: to show great displea- sure.

Dry conceptions are hard to grasp but when ideas are humanized and clothed in flash and blood, they are more readily grasped by the mind. In other words we are think-

Tells Story.0I White Ensign club

The story of the efforts made by the people of Portland, Oregon. to help British sailors in their port is told in a little book "Good Fellows All", written by Mrs. Ann Grace Ciiapple who was respon- sible for organizing the White En- sign Club in her city in the early years of the war.

it came into being when the dockyards of the West Coast naval centre were busy building aircraft carriers for Britain and the crews were being sent from Croat Bri- tain io maxi them. Members of the many British societies in Port- land got together under the direc- tion of Mrs. Chapple and found temporary homes for the visiting sailors among former British resi- dents of their descendents. The club later came into being to pro- vide a place where the boys could feel at home and enjoy themselves on their off-duty hours.

The book has recently been re- ceived by the Charlottetown Pub- lic Libi'a.vy here and will be avail- able for reading in the customary manner.

GUARDIAN ADS BRING RE- SULTS - A gentleman who lost his wallet on the Market Square Friday quickly regained the wal- and his peace of mind when an advertisement inserted in the Guardian Saturday morning brought speedy results. Mr. George C. Wood of 19 Upper Queen St. found the wallet and returned it to the owner.

Continued from page 2 washing her hands and donning an apron she proceeded to make a pie. and it WAS a. pie.

This is how she did it. Line the. pie plate with rolled-out crust and fill it with tart apples sliced thin-

ly. Mix 3 tablespoonfuis of flour, i-2 cup brown sugar. 3-4 teaspoon

cloves. Then add 1 cup sour cream and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture over the apples and

sprinkle the surface with 1-2 tea- spoon cinnamon and I i-2 table- spoonfuis of brown sugar. Bake in a. hot oven for 10 minutes. Then reduce the heat to moderate and cook thirty minutes. Serve warm, with cups of steaming hot tea. or coffee.

Sunday: The slender needles. of the huge Juniper in the back- yard, are yellowed now with the passing of the seasons and slowly they cascade downward, covering the yard with an "off-gold” car- pet. Lonesoniely the old tree stands, denuded of its coat, while a. couple of ”bird-homes" hang neglected i'rom the upper boughs. November is a short month or may- be we think it's short because win- ter is Just about upon" us. We all rush around in what seems a pre- dawn hour, as we make ready for Church. How thankful we should be, that we may go to the Church of our choosing and not have to do without the solace of religion.

As my Dutch friend said, "You lucky - always school, always Church, us-no school, no church for long timei" We don't really appreciate our privileges, do we?

IN MEMORIAM

HRS. HUBEBT S. STRICKLANIJ

The dealh of Mrs. lluliert S. Strickland, 14 Spring Park Road. occurred at the Prince Edward Is- land Hospital on Friday morning, Nov. Tih.

United in life. and again in deiith, her body was laid on Nov. 10th, beside that of her beloved husband who proceeded her by only three short weeks.

While knowing that the days. and even the hours were fast running outi she endured her sickness with great Christian for- titude. and up until the very last maintained an active interest in all that went on about her. Her passing. expected as it was. came as a great shock to her family aml friends, and her death leaves a void that none may re- place.

Mrs. Strickland was the daugh- ter of the late John Rhodes War- ren and Isobel Bernnrflwboih of whom prcdcccascd her many years ago.

Myrtle. as she was familiarly known to her most intimate ac- quaintances, enjoyed a very spec- ial position in her family and neighborhood which was clearly shown by ilie many acts of kind- ness during her long illness.

A more fitting iribuic to her character could hardly be desired. She leaves to mourn. her daughter, Florence (Mrs. W. D. Slierren). two grandsons. liubcrt. and Blaine Sherren, also two bro- lhsre. Albert" .l.. and Gordon C.. and one sister Annie (Mrs. John M. Garnhum), all of Charlotte- town.

t The funeral was held from Tkinity United Church where aer-

vicel were conducted by Rev. John T. Irwin. Rev. T. H. B. Somera and Rev. A. Frank Mc-

Lean. Intermcnt was in the fam- iiy plot in the People's Cemetery. The honorary pail bearers were, I-Ion. A. W. Matheaon. I-Ion. W. C. S. McLure. Cecil Miller. John L. L. Campbell. T. Roy Cudmore and Dr. D. T. Wayc.

The active pail hearerl were six nephews, Edwin Warren. Gordon Garnhum. Rhodes Warren. Wil- liam Henry, Earle Stewart and Wilson Rosa.

No pain. no sorrow-tears-where the has gone-

LlIe'a work complete, her earthly hands at real;

She passed through portals brigh- ter than the day

And seared beyond the skies' alar- eiudded crest.

Then should we weep. when to that fuller life '

Infantile paralysis is' not only in dreaded disease of the body. To- day, its name may be applied, aptly enough, to a malignant condition of the soul. We are told by the experts in the social sciences that our society is characterized by the stigma of immaturity; our peo- ple have I. tendency to remain juvenile, though physically adult- to be infantiiesin behavior when they should be manly. It is equal- ly true on the spiritual plane.

We appear to be paralyzed in our growth as Christians, forever fearful of acting and living the Christian life of adults that we have deceived. St. Paul has phras- ed it in this manner: "When I was a child; I talked like a child, I had the intelligence. the thoughts of a child; since I became a. man -I have outgrown childish ways."

A child is an individualist by nature. He is the only object of his concern. He is surrounded by the loving care of his parents who provide him with the necessary warmth and affection he needs. And he learns swiftly to expect these things, and rightly so. He is still a. child and his responsibilities are all for himself. It is only when he reaches manhood that he ac- quires e. sense of public respon- sibiiity.

Something of the same sort is true of the child of Christ. He became a Christian through the Sacrament of Baptism. His con- cern then was with his own de- velopment and growth in the Christian ideal. In a. sense. he talked and thought like children of God. But the time came, as it does to all of us, for him to take his place as a responsible member of the great Christian family into which he was born through Bap- tism. It was time to be an adult- io be mature with a strength that is proper to his new state. Yet, today. many Christians have fail- ed to grow up spiritually. Whilc mature in mind and body, they remain forever infantile in their spiritual activity. Their main con- cern, while good, is still for them- selves; their sense of Christian. public responsibility has been left undeveloped. - One reason for the apathy of our Christian people toward pub- lic responsibility may be in their attitude toward God. Perhaps we have the erroneous notion that the Holy Spirit no longer works in us-as He did in the apostles. Yet God is changeless-no less concerned with His people now than He was at Pentecost. The power of the Holy Spirit is still with us. though the effects he wishes to produce are often frustrated by our own lack of knowledge. I 0 0 Perhaps this is the reason why we fail to develop as adults in the Christian sense of the word. We can hardly be expected to act as militant Christians unless we are aware of what the struggle is about. The recent war gave many of us the opportunity of renewing our knowledge of geography and of peoples. some followed the military campaigns so closely, that they could predict the next at-
