IINIIIAI. IELIGION (The London-'I1mes)

‘The eulogy on faith in the elev- enth chapter of Hebrews is un- dcasitedly the most famiiar section of that eiiistle. But the ‘chapter contains a description of faith which must have struck many a reader as somewhat banal by com- parison with the heroism: and adventures amid which it is set. “He that corneth to God must believe that he is. and that he is a reward- Ir of them that diligently seek him."

It would seem, however, that the writer does not intend in these words to set before us an ideal of what faith should be. He is con- cerned rather to show us what it is like when it is reduced to its barest proportions.

This minimal religion, as one may call it. is compounded of faith and hope. The faith that God is something much more than the acceptance of theoretical mono- th%. The Bible knows nothfi of s knowledge of God which does not issue in action To believe that God is means. therefore. to ground one'a life on the assurance that ll hours of perplexity one is not alone: to go forward in the faith tha‘. however much the visible world may mock at one’s aspirations and frustrate o.i¢'s efforts. they do not lack a support in the invisible wo.ld.

Such faith is not without the as- elatance which hope gives. The God in whom it trusts is “a rewarder of them that dilicenliy seek him." This does not mean that one make: an adroit calculation that, in :pi:e of present dlradvantages, his so‘- vice will pay in the end and is therefore worth while. It is the inlet. even when events do not appear to justify it. that tru‘h will ultimately triumph. and that to have stood for it will be to have had one's part with that which endures. \

»5uch a hope, as the word "dllig- ently" makes clear, is no passive

waiting. The soul is braced by it-

to endure and to persist, giving it- self without reserve to what is highest in worth. in the urfalter- ing conviction that it will pro e supreme in power.

This attitude of mind. of course. ll something on which a man falls back- when all else is taken from him. But even so. it is ground which can he held against all comers. and from which he can aet out afresh to make a far more extensive ter- ritory his own. lib: the faith and hope that have been here describ- ed. if their implications are consid- ered, lead on to some of the most daring and most fruitful of the Christian affirmations. ,

Granted that God is. can he be thought of as without interest in the world? will he not rather on- ter into it. to share in the experien- ees of his creatures and win them 11: fellowship with himself? And the dogged trust that to serve God will prove at the last not to ‘ have been in vain broaden: out into the

tion of that kingdom in brings fulfilment to our most cherished

Pioneer Days In P. E. I.

By I’. H. MacArthur

No event recorded in Island history equals the destructive ef- fects of the great Yankee Gale of 1851. That terrible tragedy prac- tically destroyed the entire fish- ing fleet of this province, together with a number of ships from Gloucester. Mas; New Brunswick. Nova Scotia and Maine. But the heavy toll in lives taken by the sea was worst of all —- an esti- malcd eighty-three souls perished.

Friday. Oct. 3rd. saw the sun rise in a cloudness sky; all weath- er signs pointed to a fair day. but towards noon the sky took on a strange appearance as clouds. accompanied by a stiff gale and fine mist. swept across the heavens as though pursued by some angry god. Towards ibe late afternoon. the wind had in- creased until it became a raging gale, sweeping the water into great white billows. Then the night dropped her mantle over the gallant litlle fishing fleet. 3 shroud so black and enfolding that not even the oldest salt afloat could recall anything to equal it. From the East Coast to North Cape ships of all sizes were caught in the mow of the gale and tossed about like chips in a whirlpool; all the while the wind

increased and the waves grew higher. 0 I 0 All day Saturday the fury of

wind and waves be:-ii hard upon the boats. and the captains of some headed for the open sea. asl lo ,

at all. it was a change for the worse; and watchers on shore. powerless to render any assist- ance, wepi opcnly as they saw the brave little sailing boats - one by one — dash themselves to pieces against the rocky shore.

One eye witness of the terrible tragedy describes the disaster in the following words:

“...What uproar. what disaster! The wind was truly terrific . . . vessels by the score being pound- ed io pieces on the shore. their crews clinging to bits of floating wreckage . . . Mounfainous waves. rioting in their mad career. dashed their feet against the land with a crash that sounded like a fhousand voices of thunder all rolled into one mighty voice."

The last paragraph tells the grim iale. No further words are necessary to give the reader a vivid picture of the Yankee Gale of 1851.

Good Manners

Sound Training Invaluable To Child In Later Yeers

DEAR. MISS DIX: My husband and I disagree upon ‘one point in rearing our children. I feel that while they are young I should teach

them the amenities of life. how to enter a

room. how to greet people

courfcously. how to eat properly. etc.. and. of course, this can only be

done by what practically amounts to mining. H "Johnny. take your hat off when you come into a room.

“Mary. use your lork and not your knife." and so on. Say: I shouldn't worry the children about trlfles, and that when they grow up they will know how to behave themselves properly. Which one

objects to this.

MOTHER

ANSWER: You ‘are. Aside from grounding a child in the moralliles, there is no other one thing that it is no important to teach him as good manners.

They

will carry him further along the road of success than any one thing, for good manners are a letter of credit that is honored at sight the

world over.

NEED POIJSI-l Perhaps there was s time when the rough diamond was valued at its true \vorth. but that time is gone now. People haven't the time nor the patience to peer beneath the surface and realize that there is a fine jewel that only needs polishing to be brought out in all its

splendor.

They want. their diamonds handed to them already cut and

polished, and the mother who does not do this for her children com- mile a grievous wrong against them. As for saying that children who are allowed to grow up uncouth

will suddenly , grown, that is nonsense.

Nothing in the world sticks closer to us than the habits of our

have taught. them.

Perhaps children may resent their mothers’ nagging them when they are little about their manners. but when they are grown they thank her on their bended knees for it.

DEAR MISS DIX: We are a boy and a girl of 19. who are very much in love with each other. Is it safe for us to marry without ever having had the so-called "playtime of life"? ‘

ANSWER:

WE

I consider it most unsafe and that none should risk

it except those who were; as the phrase goes, "born old". and who are temperumentally so said and sober that they have no craving for

gnyciy in any form. There are young people like that.

Boys and girls

who are aged in the cradle. who never want to dance or so to parties or step out of an evening and who are content to marry in their teens and settle down to the serious business of life without ever having had any of the fun that belongs to youth.

It seems to be a law of Nature that all young creatures must have their playtime, and if they miss If something is lacking in their

lives.

The boy husband has the boy's instinct to run with the gang.

He lsn’t satisfied to sit at home of an evening and look at his wife. And the girl. when she sees the other girls of her age dolling them- selves up and starting off for gay evenings while she stays at home and washes the dishes and darn: husband's socks, grows bitter and dissatisfied and wonders what made her fool enough to throw away

her Ray, carefree Blrlhood.

So take your Playtime now. children. at the time of life to which

it belongs.

Do your running around before marriage.

The you will

be glad to settle down and stay put by your own fireside.

DEAR MISS DIX:

I have been accused ever since i can rcmemo

be!‘ by my many, many friends of being egotistical. Can you suggest

a cure?

ALEXANDER.

ANSWER: I can. A very easy one, only no conceited person will ever fake it because they do not wish to be cured. The remedy is this: C°"5ld9l‘ the People About you who are so much better-looking who are so much more intelligent and who have achieved so much nlo;-e nun you have, and compare yourself with them.

The Prince Edward Island Musical Festival Association through the Percentage Allotment committee assists rural areas in providing in- struction in music in the schools. To qualify for such assistance schools must provide instruction under a qualified instructor for at least six weeks. and must_ compete as schools in the Annual Festival in Charlottetown. in May.

Last year the Percentage Allot- ment considered applications from twenty-five schools. and recom- mended grants amounting to al- most $500.00. The grant to each school consisted of a basic grant of $io.00. and a supplementary grant based on the relative. por- pupli cost of instruction in music. The grants ranged from $10.00 in $41.50. Several schools that applied for aid found themselves not in a position to compete in the Festival and consequently were not eligible for the grant recommended.

a O 0

The Percentage Allotment Coin- mittec early in January of this year published in four Island news- papers advertisements urging schools or Women‘: Institutes acting for schools in their districts to write the Chairman of the Coni- mittee for application forms. To date 32 questionnaries have been mailed a; requested. and 18 quea- tlonnaries have been returned to the chairman.

secretaries of the Women's In- stitutes and teachers are reminded that all questlonnaries are to be mailed to the Chairman of the committee not later than February 28th.

The Committee has been assured of a larger amount of money for distribution this year. and con- sequently will be able to recom- mend more generous grants than last year. This is a. splendid op- portunity for all rural districts desirous of giving instruction in music in their schools.

:3 By James W. Barton, M.D. DIAGNOSING CANCER. OF’ THE LUNG

' Recently I wrote about a method of nndring out if the liver was doing its various jobs properly. The method consisted of inserting a needle with a saw edge which enabled the physician to remove a small piece of the liver and ex- amine it under the microscope.

For many years the diagnosis of cancer of the lung was dlfvficuli to determine owing to other condi- tions esent. A recent article in "Radio ogy." by Dre. G.‘ P. Rosen- mond. W. 1.‘. Burnett and J. H. Hall. reports a needle examination iblwsy) of 201 cases of cancer of the lung in which 212 biopsy ex- aminations were made. They met used this method without using I sleeping or qulefing drug. and the patient often walked back to his room. The method is simple and should be used when a definite diagnosis of cancer cannot be made by anefysir of the sputum and by the bi-ondhoscope which allows the physicisn to see a considerable portion of the lung. "iihese physicians have not had any serious complications arise. They did not find that withdrawal of the needle spreads the cancer Where there is calcification (solid condition of the lung due to ari- cumulatlon of calcium or lime) ‘the sordid part or nodule can be move.‘ aside and felt by the needle.

This method is especially holo- ful in locating I cancer on the outer portion of the lung although it must be admitted that in cer- tain eoiid portions of the lung it is diilfiouit to insert the needie and remove acme of the tissue Fortunately. the X-ray and other methods of euniinntion help the physician to make his diagnosis
