A; g memorial service held in

honor of Principal William Caven .1 Knox College, his friend. Prin- ciml gm;-gton of Wycliffe College, described his spirit with a Greek uord for which there is no English 9qlllV3lenD: Matthew Arnold trans- meg it "sweet reasonableness". but even this happy phrase falls to bring out the richness of its mean- mg, It is the spirit of the man who refuses to insist on his legal rights in the interests of the larger equity. often there were heated debates in the chuch courts of that day, and after listening to the combatants on both sides, Dr. Caven would rise with a resolution aimed to con- serve the interest for which both sides were contending and enable the church to go forward unitedly to the end in view. There were dis- cussions on church union in the eighties in which Principal Caven tool: an active part. and there is on record one solution presented by him which still stands as an ideal erpression of the spirit in which that problem should be approach- ed, Reconciliation consistent with the protection of interests sacred to all was the very soul of the l.'l!l. P A business man in a wesict'n citv signed a contract on terms which promised benefits to both parties concerned. Shortly after. the mark- sis changed to such an extent that insistence on his legal rights un-- drr that agreement would have ruined his neighbor. so be relieved his neighbor from those obliga- tlcns which would have caused him grievous loss. and entered into a new one on basis of the new sitti- flllnll. To him this was the only pay of expressing his Christianity lll business.

The outstanding example of this christian virtue at the present time is the peace treaty with Ja- pan drawn up by that Christian sintt-smtm, John Foster Dulles To pzrance. but the aim of this treaty many Pearl Harbor called for ven-

ll reconciliation, and the recon- struction of a conquered country's affairs.

Nowhere is this spirit more ne- cnssary today than in employee- Employer relationships. The public is sick of strikes. and still more of the temper that leads to them. Each side seems to be approaching the other in an attitude of antag- onzsmz insisting, not only on rights, but on advantages which its posi- tion enables it to claim. The last resort in all such contentions is to deprive the public of essential ser- vices in order to compel one or the other to yield. One wonders how long the public will stand it

Has our Christianity failed so far that the desire to see issues from the other party's point of view has ceased to be a force in the dealings of men with men? To psevail at all, this spirit must en- ter the beginning of the dispute before events go so far that com- promise is impossible. But earlier or later. Christ's spirit is the only w.w to peace.

The source of this virtue is found in Christ's dealintzs with sinful men. One recalls the vividness of Shakespeare's statements of this Christian principle. When in "The Meichant of Venice". Shylock in- sisted on his rights under a con- tract, Portia pied:

"Thouizh justice be thy pies, con-

sider this.

That in the course of justice, none of us

should see salvation; we do pray for mercy

And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy."

Again. when in "Measure for Measure" Angelo as judge insisted that the law must have its way with a young offender, Isabella ar- gucd:

"Why. all the souls that were for- feit once:

And He that might the vantage best have took

Found out the remedy. How would you be

If He, which is the top of judg- ment, should

put judge you as you are? 0 think of that

And ' mercy than within your lips

Like man new made."

Nowhere is Christ our Example more truly than here. Insistence on one's rights can make a home is hell. The rights are Turdlflltntlll but drawing strict lines around them shuts oneself in more decis- ively than it shuts others out and makes the give and take of good nntureimpossible. Nothing on God's earth is more beautiful than 5 happy home. When love between husband and wife deepens with the years until in age each is indis- pensable to the other. the reason is, first. fidelity to love's sanctities. and then the consistent aim of each to understand the other and to adjust oneself to the necessities of his or her nature.

Justice of course. is the founda- tion of all social life and without It love has no chance. But love must go beyond justice and give itself to bringing out the finest manhood or womanhood of which the other is capable. This way lies lrue self-realization and the en- richment of souls that are the complement of one's own.

Royal Edward l.0.ll.E. Meeting

The Regent. Mrs. J. A. Lawson presided at therlilrgely attended regular monthly meeting of the Royal Edward Chapter of the Daughters of the Empire held on Monday afternoon in the Y. M.C. A. Hall.

Before the business of the meet- ing was taken up. Mrs. Lawson referred to the recent passing of a very valued and loved member, Mrs. Victor Goodwill, and paid a fine tribute to one who was for many years a loyal and a gener- ous member of the Chapter. ,

A letter was read from the national president. Mrs. Chirpman, in regard to a resolution sent from National Headquarters to the Government at Ottawa pro- testing the threatened elimination of the word "Dominion" from this country's name, and the word "R0yHl" from all Government de- partmenis. The letter asked that this action be endorsed. Unanim- ously the meeting authorized the secretary to answer this letter approving the resolution.

Letters of acknowledgement were read, one from the Canadian Citizenship Council with thanks for the donation for their Christ- mas party: one from the Char- lottetown Hospital thanking the Chapter for yearly subscriptions to four magazines sent to that institution: one from an I.O.D.E. bursary winner. Wendell MacKin- non, a student at Acadia Univer- sity, expressing deep gratitude to the Order for making this educa- tion possible.

More publicity. it was decided. should be given to these scholar- ships and bursaries.

Another worthy project of the educational department is the donating of libraries to rural schools. and a motion was carried that a library be sent from this Chapter.

An appeal had been made for pocket edition books to be sent to the naval base at Cornwallis. A fine response resulted and a large box of books will be ship ped immediately.

The Regent requested the mem- bers lo support the "Consumcrs' League", of which she is chair- man for the Pmvincc. This League is advocating "Thrift" campaign among the women of Canada.

Strange But frue

By F. If. MacArthur

The smiths in England still celebrate st. Clement's Day loc- ally by dressing up an effigy in a long black cloak, wig, white beard. and mask. This figure they call "Old Clem." is set in a chair with a wooden anvil in front of 'him and his hands grasping a pair of tongs and a wooden ham- mer.

Such a procession with Old Clem at the head was celebrated as late as 1823 by the black.smiths' apprentices of the dockyard at Woolwich.

Oreeling the bridegroom used to be a common custom in Scot- land, and is not yet entirely ex-

tant. The phrase "Creeling the bridegroom" arose from the prac- tice of placing a "creel" filled

with stones on the back of a newly married man and then pursuing him while he found ablution in the waters of a running brook. So securely is the creel fastened to the bridegroom's shoulders that only another can remove it. The other is usually the bride who declares that she has no cause of complaint against her hus- band. whereupon she is allowed to remove his burden. a - .

Creeling in the land of the hea- ther, was once big business. At least once a year all recently mar- ried men were creeled by having a large basket fastened to their backs. His feat was to run as fast as possible to his nearest newly- married neightbor. All the while his purstuers keep throwing stones into the creel. Their wives fol- lowed having sharp knives with which to out the ropes holding the basket providing they can tovertake the others. we should consider creeling a tvery distasteful pastime today.

. .

. It used to be customary in Eng- land for effigies of Welshmeniobe burned on St. David's Day. These cfiigics were known as Tallies. Indeed, the custom was carried to the mlddlc of the 18th century. The following verse give a good description of lhe act. "But it would make a stranger laugh To see the English hang old Taff:

A pair of breaches and a coat.

Hnt, shoes. and stockings and what not

All stuffed with hay to represent

The Cambrian hero thereby meant:

With sword sometimes three in- ches broad,

And other armor made of wood, They drag hur to some putblick tree. And hang hur up in effigy." C O 0

Believe it or not. but in Colon-

cookies were manufactured especi- ally for the attendants at funerals. Sometimes the cookies were marked with the initials of the deceased. Those not eaten were carried home and kept for years

to remind the living of the de- parted one. Families of good bringing up

sometimes sent a few of the cook- ies, with a bottle of wine and a pair of gloves, as a summons to the funeral.

Junior Sodallty Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the Jun- ior Sodality of the children of Mary was held at Notre Dame Ac- ademy on January moth, with a large number of Bodallsts present.

The meeting opened with the recitation of the Little Office of the Blessed virgin. The Sodalists then sang "liail! Queen of Heaven." Roll call Was answered by each Sodalist giving the name of a saint and his or her Fast day and the minutes of the last meet- ing were read and adopted,

The members of Our Lady's Committee then commented upon the principal feasts of this month. Interesting readings were given by Patricia MacDonald. Jean Zakem Mary Mailers, Marie Hagen, and Marie liynes.

Since the January meeting is the time for the election of offic- ers, llhe president's report was then read. In reviewing the year's work Miss Alma Sheehan thanked all the members for the splendid co-operation which made possible the following activities: Annual Retreat. Participation in the Tri- duum for the Holy Father. Distri- bution of medals to the patients at. the Sanatorium, Canvassing for the Jligh Tea, and the purchase of

a projector for the classes at .Notre Dame. The Secretary-ti-etisu1'er, Miss

Elaine McDonald, then gave her report w-hich was gratifying to all the members as it showed a bal- ance of 375.00.

The election of officers then took place and results were as fol-

lows: - President, Jean Zakem. Vice-President. Alma. Sheohan Secretary - Treasurer, Marlon

Hynes. Chairman of Our Lady's Committee. Loretta Kelly. Chair- man of Social Committee. Anna McDonald. Chairman of Publicity Committee, Betty McDonald. After the new President was led to her chair and the officers received the promise of full co-operation, the !members of the Social Committee provided much enjoyment by pro- jecting interesting snaps. The well-chosen collection led to the Itelling of many anecdotes as the isedate faces of former schoolmates appeared on the screen.
