Not only our land and race, but the whole basis of life is chosen for us—the period in which we were iiorn. our people's social standing and worldly condition, our sex and mental capacity and opportunity.

InlthOfTbcAges

It was interesting a few week: ago to hear Dr. Robert McClure 88y to his own people in reference to his services to the plague-stric- ken ln China: "The disease is so deadly that one‘s only hope of guy. vival rests in his conviction that he is doing God's will and that God is

responsible for the outcome." It is the faith of the ages. There is a divine reality behind

men's faith ln a divine call. No life is meaningless. No life is brought into the world without a distinctive personality or without a divine object to serve. We aredif- ferent from one another as each leaf differ: from the million around it, and the difference is designed; one‘s individuality la intended to fit him for a bit of work which no other can do. To feel a divine pur- pose behind our lives is to be con- l-scious of a divine end before us; when we make God's will our own we have l-iis power upon u: in ‘what we do in His name. "Whatever our personal limita- tions He cannot fall, and we can Itrust Him to keep what we have that

"Never mind," said Tony, al- though ha looked worried and hag- gard, “it'll soon be wring. We can catch up on the arrears when we turn off the fumace."

"Of course," said Barbara bravely.

But neither she nor Tony was sleeping well because they were bothered and they thought. a lot about what would happen if they needed money in s hurry.

"Only nothing’: going to hap- ptevn." said Barbara. "Why should 1 _..

"Sure nothlngts going to hap- pen!" insisted Tony.

Then early in March Skeeter developed scarlet fever.

“He Just. can't have caught it," Barbara said to the doctor.

-But the doctor said it was scar- let fevcr all right.

Barbara did not dare look at Tony. "Should we have a nurse?" she faltered. “l‘in afraid neither of us is very experienced about illness."

The doctor pursed his lips. “That won't be necessary, unless some- thing crops up. I'll give you exact directions about taking care of thc patient."

Nothing must crop up, thought Barbara desperately, W8 lust can't let it. "Oh, Skeeter," she whis- pered under her breath, looking at his small flushed face, "darling,

"Daddy's here, honey-boy," mu!‘- murr-d Tony, his voice husky.

The doctor said the baby must be kept quiet. it soothed him to have Tony hold him. He went to sleep with Tony singing Casey Jones in a strained voice that made Barbara's throat ache. Neither Barbara nor Tony slept. that night iior for three nights following. The baby's fever went up twice a day --a little higher each time. In between. he lay perfectly still, list.- lesa and limp. s shadow of his former gurgling self.

SURNAMES OF SCOTLAND —A recent addition to the Reference Department of the Public Library is s. volume entitled "The Sur- names of Scotland; Their Origin, Meaning and History" by George F. Biwlt. Ph.

home s: he could spare from the office. Sometimes, if Skeeter seemed worse, Barbara called him She could not bear to be alone. The baby looked so pitiful. She felt so helpless, so ignorant. She was never quite sure that she was do- ing the right thing. Tony rose to the occasion better than she did. To see him try to smile was heartbreaking.

"Now, now," he would say, rump- ling up Barbara's curls, "you don't want to let this gct you down, su- gar. Skeetcfs s. tough old bird. ain't you. fella?"

"Da-da." whispered weakly.

“His little legs are getting so thin!" mourned Barbara.

Tony blinked. "You'll pick that up right away. won't you. little fella?" he askcd, bathing Skecterb hot forehead.

Tony's mother was there. didn't say a word.

"Babies can get desperately sick In an hour." said Mrs. Blake, “but they recover just as fast. At least Tony was like that and Skeeter is the image of him."

"Thcy are allkc. aren't they?“ whispered Barbara. squeezing he: handkerchief dry.

"Precisely. Tony children's diseases. hard, because he's always been a thorough person, but they never kept him down long."

“l do believe Skeeter's a little better tonight, don't you?" quavcr- cd Barbara.

“Undoubtedly?

It did appear that the disease had run its course. The fevcr be- gan to describe s descending arc. Between times Skeeter was less listless. l-le even seemed to have a bit of appetite. Tony consent- ed to go into another room and sleep that night because he was completely exhausted.

Then it rained the next day and the sir wa-s heavy with fog They took every precaution. but somehow the.bnby caught cold. l-le was rusky that night, his breathing harsh. Barbara and Tony looked at each other. "He. can't have taken cold. lie can't!" she said.

Tony bsd already gone to call the doctor. Thcy tried to re- assure each other. They said it did not amount to anything, that by morning the cold would be gone. But the doctor looked grave. Be stayed quite e while. They could not deceive themselves. The baby was not better, his breathing was worse. By morning you could hear him in the next room struggling for breath.

"What is it, Doctor? Pneu- monia?" asked Tony, his voice per- fectly expressioniess.

The doctor nodded and Barbara turned away. blinded by tears.

Tony shook his head as if he were trying to clear it. "We'd bct- ter get a nurse, hadn't. we?" he asked.

"It's going to take expert nurs- ing to pull out of this," said the doctor.

Barbara uttered s clicked cry. Tgny put his arm about her. "Don't worry, kid. We'll lick this.

IN MEMORIAM

JOSEPH PATRICK MoGUlBK __.._.

ft was with much sorrow and great surprise that the residents of Fort. Ainustus and surrounding communities learned oi’ the death of Joseph Patrick MoGu-irk. on the morning of April 19th, being only two weeks from the time he returned to his old home at Fort Augustus. His borne-coming was generally looked upon by his neighbors arid friends as a period oi corivslesoence, but his immedi- ate family,’ doctor and clergy held little hope. for his recovery al- though everything possible was done to comfort him and extend his days on earth. He rapidly sank and finally succumbed to the Grim Reaper on the above men- tioned date.

He was t-ha second son of the late Patrick. and Mrs. Mcfluirk who survives him. Born in the year 190i. in his early manhood he took up carpentry and was soon adept in the use of tools and could work abreast with those many years his senior.

Joe. as he was familiarly known, possessed an exceptionally pleas- ant personallty. a keen sense of humor and a ready wit. quick to see thing-s in the lighter vein.

Those characteristics and his extensive travelling in the U.S.A. and Central Canada for upwards of thirty years enabled him to get the most out of life, but yet did not deter him in being cvcr mind- ful of the purpose for which he was created. or his aged parents who so tenderly cared for him. or the old home that bore him sus- tenance in childhood.

Death is hard and heavy at all times, but when the young or comparatively young are called a- way it vividly brings to mind the necessity of being ever ready to answer the call, and the hearts of those dear to him are very sad and. sorrowful indeed, especially the aged mother who has lost her favorite son.

He was fortified by the last sad rites of the Holy Catholic Church by the Rev. Dr. Louis Callaghan who frequently visited him during the last; weeks of his illness.

There are left to cherish the memory of a thoughtful son. a kind and loving brother, his moth- er, Mrs. Patrick McGulrk. Fort Augustus: two brothers, Charles at Fort. Augustus; l-lcnry at. Som- erville, Mass; and one sister, Mrs. Leo J. Murnaghari. Waterbown. Mass, the latter two coming by plane to attend his funeral, which was held at Fort Augustus at 9 o'clock on April 21. Requiem nun ~Mass was sung by Father Callag- han who also conducted service at the grave. His remains were in- terred in the family plot beside those of his father, who pre- deceased liim three years ago. Tho pallbearers were: Fred Cuin- miskey, Joseph Garland. Augustus Lavcrty, John Heron. Eugene Cal- laghan and Peter Holland.
