The Week Queen Mary's carpet. which ar-l rived in New York this week aboard the Queen Mary will be displayed at the National Gallery. Ottawa. March 26-28. Prime Min- ister‘ St. Laurent will open the Ottawa exhibit tomorrow at 3 p.m. Elaborate precautions have been taken to protect the famous rug. which took the Queen Mother eight years to work. A special casket of solid English brown oak with bronze feet has been de- signed for it by leading British architects. The King's own pa- tent lock and safe makers have fitted it with hand-made locks in- torporating burglar-proof safety de- vices. The inside of the chest is lined with stainless steel. On ar- rival the carpet was wrapped in a specially-made dust-proof zip-fast- ener bag dyed in the exact shade of lining. which hides the casket's steel reinforcement. The chest which also contains three portraits of Queen Mary in a frame cover- ed in pigskin and surmounted with a gold crown and cipher. will re- main in New York. while the car- pet is on tour. Originally in- tended by Queen Mary as an heir- loom to be left in one of the royal residences, the carpet has been given to the British Government to help raise needed dollars. It is to be sold to the highest dollar bidder, and donated to a public institution. 0 0 About four hundred and fifty guests attended the annual Medi- cal Ball of McGlll University held in the Sir Arthur Currie Memor lal Gymnasium at ten o'clock last night.

The ppm! is original but not the thesis. It was indeed almost a commonplace of nineteenth century liberal Pro- testantism, though fow will be found to support such a. view to- day. A better biblical scholarship rejects it; and human experience during the two world wars has shown its inherent triviality. In such a world as men ‘(DOW 30' day what ground for confidence in life, or what hope for men would there be, in a. religion which had not come to grips with sin and suffering? But there never was any other Christianity. The Gospel has always been proclaimed in terms of Christ crucified and risen; and the Cross for the New Testa- ment writers is the symbol not of defeat but of ttium_ch—not of death but of life restored. Passion S;n.iay enshrlnes the christian paradox that the place where evil seems to_ be in posses- sion and men's self-confidence most completely shuttered is the source of hope and the guarantee of victory. "He hath borne our gricfs and carried our sorrows." Chrisliarity contains no promise to make the path of life soft or smooth. No man may evade the dlscipl'ne of difficulty or some share of pain, whether bodily or mental. Always in the vision of the Chlistus patiens men and women have found the faith. the patience and courage to endure suffering and triumph over it, turning it into spiritual con- quest: the Cross has been the rod and staff to comfort them as they passed into the valley of the shad- ow. In the fellowship of the suffer- ing of Christ pain and weakness are hallowed and transformed. Yet this is not the whole truth of the Passion. Much Christian art and much of the Passion music has been a meditation on a mar- tyrdom and the innocent suffering of the Lamb of God. Po-.ular Christian devotion has tended to dwell too much or too. exclusively on the passive aspects of the Cruci- fixion—that is. on the things which were done to Jesus. But. this is more than the story of o martyrdom. christian theology at its best sees in the Cross the central fact of history; and unless it is the ‘isolosure of God in history all christian experience is a. mis- take. All hope for humanity s‘al-ts here; for it is the pledge of God's concern for msn—of that “love which will not let him go"—in the hour of his most need and moral bankruptcy. ---vm 5Tho+ Body Of Yours By James W. Barton, Dl.D. ) ‘%AmV“‘ OPERATION T0 RELIEVE DE- PBESSED MENTAL PATIENTS I write frequently about lobotomy (prefronital), the operation in which the nerves Huplplylng the front part of the brain are cut. Many mental patients recover com- pletely, others beotmna less grief- stricken and able to be of use in tile wards of the mental hospital. when this operation was first performed it was done with the object of giving relief to grief- strichsn, depressed patients. After operation, many of these patients were relieved of their symptoms and felt no responsibility of any kind. A little later it was found that some of them. in addition of being free from grief, depression and all responsibility. gradually were regaining their normal men- tal faculties and sciuaily return- ed to their former occupations. This was indeed a great. change in their lives and in the lives of their families. Since these ilrst operations were performed our mental have been performing this oper- ation on many cases that have been treated for years by the usual mental hospital methods. and have been able to help a good percent- age of these cases. In "Psychiatric Quarterly," Utics. N. Y.. Dr. H. 8. Snow reviews the results obtained in 11 patients who underwent prefrontai lobotahy (front lobes of the brain.) Sixteen patients obtained benefit from this simple surgical operation. Eight of ‘chase 18 could go home and the other eight could work about the ward. Eleven patients were not benefited. Dr. snow does not. advocate pre- fronisl lobotomy for all types of acute mental cases; he advises that the usual mental hospital treatment be first tried. as many patients recover within a certain time by the usual methods. If these methods do not help. then prefrontal lobotomy should be tried. "it is of value in the chronic cases of long standing for the for- gotten persons in mental treat- ment.
