Easter

it is sigtiificatit that the grcatcst festivals of the Christian year have to do respectively with Birth and Rcsttt'rcctio:i. Each transcends all boundaries of races and nations. each has a timeless message of hope and coiifidcnt-c. Between them stands the solemn symbol of the Cross. At this season. in the pause between the departure of winter and the arrival of spring. we turn oitr backs oti the period of ccssatioti. when nature takes hcr long, cold sleep. and look forward to briglitcr things. Thus it was from the beginning. but Clit'istianity added ininieasurably to the significance of these recurrent chan- gvs. Tlirtiitgli the Resurrection, niourning gave place to joy atid Easter--once as- sociated with pagan rites of nature's ro- hirth--hecame a festival of the trite God. 3 new era of growth atid rcgcncration for mankind.

' Probably even Jack Miner didn't. realize what he was starting 51 1 arts ago when he coaxed the ,lirsI wild geese to land on his farm near Kingsville in western On- tario.

l In later years his property be- came a famous bird sanctuary and his name a household word among lovers of nature. Next week Cana- dians will think, of the man who spent most of his life protecting wild life when they observe the eighth anniversary of National Wildlife Week.

The week was established by Parliament in 1947 to begin each year on Jack Miner's birthday, April 10. The noted bird lover died in 1944.

INSPIRING EXAMPLE

The late prime minister Macken- zie King said of Mr. Miner: "The inspiration he has given the young :and old of many lands by his life land work will live after him."

During the week school teachers will stress the need of conserva- ition to their pupils and many clergyman will preach on the great .outdoors. Federal and provincial Ifish and game departments will bring conservation to the fore.

l

two of Canada's nature rarities. the whooping crane and the musk- ox, will be issued by the post of- fice department. There are only 21 whoopers left on the continent and about l0.000 musk-ox.

John Thomas Miner was born near Cleveland. Ohio. April . 1865. He came to Canada with his parents in l878.

STARTED. SANCTUARY l

An ardent hunter. he realized something had to be done to save Canada's fast-decreasing wild lite.- In 1904 he bought four wing-tipped! Canada geese and started his game. sanctuary. He banded his first duckl in August. 1909, and from then un- til 1915 he is said to have banrledl about 50.000. ;

In l9l5. he started placing a. verse of Scriptura on each band as well as his name and address. His birds were spotted across the

continent.

Both scholarly and political caution would suggest the poll- slbility of inflation, serious in- flation. ln the figure of 582.003.- 4l7; why. then. the unquentlonlng acceptance? Are there perhaps divergent interests inside and out- side China that iuedispose people to accept thlii enormous figure?

APPEARANCE OF POWER

There are several factors that would bias the Communists to- ward finding and announcing an inflated figure. The larger tho population of china. the more powerful aha la likely to appear to her own rulers. The Commu- iilstn ara alao likely to expect China to appear more .'...mldable to outsiders under theaa circum- stances-eapeclally If they can give the appearance of sound or- ganlxatlon and blah uprlt do corps throughout such a popula- Ion

Those who regard the Com- munist control of the Chinese mainland as a menace may use the figure to. support their posi- tion or to show that the Ill(”"'Cc is aven greater,t.han they pra- viously asserted. Ttiosc .... ..... like to see the United States and other nations take a more con- ciliatory stand toward Communist China may point to the figure as evidence of the utter hopeless- ness and danger of pressing our position.

IMPLICATIONS OF FIGURES

, The correctneiis of the figure is not a matter of indifference. An error of 200 millions, even of 100 millions or less, has significant implications. If the figure is cor- rect. does it pose greater prob- lems for the C mmunlsls or for us? When our allies controlled China we regarded the enonnous population as one of their great- eiit problems. On the other band. now that our enemies hold the area, we seem to feel that an even greater population than was previously dreamed of is one of theirgrcatest assets and a men- ace to us,

This seems to be accepting llI'l- crftically both a questionable fig- ure and the dogmatic Communist infer nee about its significance. We in this in part because of an unanalyzed assumption of what the Communists can do once they control an area.

EASTER DAY

Break the box and shed the hard; Stop not now to count the cost; Hither bring pearl. opal. sard; Rack not what the poor have lost; Upon Christ throw all away: Know ye. this is Easter Day.

Build His church and deck His shrine.

Empty though it be on earth:

Ye have kept your choicest wine-

Let it flow for heavenly mirth;

Pluck the harp and breathe the horn:

Know ye not 'tis Easter Morn?

(iatlier gladness from the skies; Take a lesson from the ground; Flowers do ope their heavenward eyes

Aitd a Spring-time joy have found: Earth throws Winter's robes away, Decks herself for Easter Day.

Beauty now for ashes wear. Perfumes for the garb of woe. Chaplets for dishevelled hair. Dances for and footsteps slow: Open wide your heart that they Let in joy this Easter Day.

Seek God's house In happy throng; Crowded let His table be; Mingle praises. prayer and song. Singing to the Trinity. Henceforlh let your souls alway Make each morn an Easter Day.

The Maori: of New Zenland are civilized and live side by side with Europeans on a basis of equality. Yet the power of su- perstition has led to a evival of the ancient art of the ohunga.

Among the old-time Maorls the tohunga combined something of the duties of a wise man. a priest and a witch doctor. He often had greater power over the natives than the chief of the tribe.

Today the Maori: are Christians and large numbers of them live in European houses in the cities. It was fully expected that the tohun- gas would pass out of existence. yet they nourish in the cities as well as In remote Maori villages.

ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARI)

Even some Maori religious sects have Incorporated rites for east- ing out evil spirits into their prac- tices. Many Maorla who are devout Christians also turn to the rites of the tohunga as an additional safeguard.

For Instance many Maori women who have their babies in modern maternity home: ask for a visit from the tohungn before they leave. They want him to lift the tapu. or ban. which applies to a woman and child after child- birth. They have the babies bap- tized later. but believe in playing
