- blessed rellll {XIII the Lenten Meditations was man em’ (The Isondcoo ' E Each human being is like the mgp of some continent in which the outline is sharply defined. the coastal areas and their immediate hinterland are crowded with fam- iuar names. but in the interior there is still a region of mystery. unexplored and indeed impenet- rable. Each man is constituted by a sec- ret meeting with the eternal. and what happens in that realm. the home at once -of quiet unspoken resolves and of the shame of covert treason. is hidden from all other eyes. The face which men present to the world is as likely to conceal as to reveal what they inwardly are. The Gospel portrait of Christ is at one who possesses unrivalled Dow" of penetration 1300 thll in- ner region of mystery. Whit ia veiled from all others is open and accessible to him. Every man. it may be assumed. has at least one hour in his life at. which he awakens to this central mystery of his being. He becomes aware then of whet the mystics have called by such names as the “dweller in the innermost," the “ground of the will." But peril attends upon such a realization if it isolates a men from his fellows in pride. He needs to perceive that what thus sunders him from them at the same time unites him indiaeolubly with them. That there should be this shrine at the same tinie unites him in- dissolubly with them. That there should be this shrine at the centre at his being is not a privilege given in him and denied to others: it is the gift of God to every member of our me. no alone truly recognises the sacred qualllty that attaches to his own personality who pays hom- age to it in every other personauty. The maxim: ‘Treat ovary man asanendlnhimseltand never as a means" is justified and re- quired in a world in which none has the right to speak of the dis- nity of his own selfhood save as,he revcrcs that dignity in his fellows. Preedom can be claimed. therefore, by none who is not willing to grant it to his neighbour by an equal right. ‘ when men become aware oi the mystery within themselves and of the mystery which answers to this within those whom they meet, fel- lowship is within their reach. Fel- lowship lies far deeper than the casual encounters which make up so large a. part. of life in modern mass society. It arises where men meet. not at the circumference, but at the centre oi their being. with less then this the christian faith in man, as made in God's image and as his child. cannot be content; nor can the human soul, with its longing for open and un- reserved meeting with other souls.

Icicle: dripped and fell in the pleasant mildness. which set thawing sireamiets to trlcklln-g. March put fresh scenes that were quite be- witchlng before us and set. new visions in mind. Jamie and his brother at once commenced to make plans to build a seasonal water-wheel to be turned present- ly by coursing brookiets, and we found our thoughts running on in anticipation of the Springtime to come. 0 O 0 We wondered whether or not the Honeysuckle vine we had planted so hopefully some years ago. and which grew only inditfferently un- der our care should hold a bios- som for us this year. And would the gift bulbs of tulips and def- fodils and all. that were planted in nu about flower bed and bor- der survive the cold and fronts of Winter and rise at the ro‘bias' call? The cheerful pair as happy as the day is long, that we like to fancy return to an old nest to love and plan and work and know the joys of parenthood in the wtlde-spread- ing white birch on the lawn. The same friendly tree. we confess we’ are missing these days. that when “oure" were born in the room above the kitchen showed only the topmost twigs against the sky but now as we open or close our eyes to the world about. gives us pearly or colorful dawns, atarlli dark or an exquisite moon through the bar or lacey branches. So our th ughis went on towards those days to come. reminded of them by this delightful one that had come in March’: train. With Gage and the pup-dog that is “Spotty", who is wonderfully who in consideration of the hap- hazard training he receives at the hands of his young masters, l-‘bob gathered the mail from the box this morning to bring us an in- teresting letter from Bill. Bill is a nephew, a quiet studious feilovw. brother to Ellen our namesake. and eldest of a family of six. He was born and reared on the farm, and it aeesu as though only the other day he was a child there, attending to the many duties that came to his hand, finding time for his schooling. and time too to en- gage in other pastimes. The sea and the "buelneu" thereof has been a first love of _Bill‘e. prob- ably beoause his borne lice so close to the strait, offering -a wide play- ground to him and the rest of the family. In any event, he is one that from a small fellow en- joyed a trip to the far fishing grounei, and to swim and boat and sets were -among hh favorite mom. I O 0 His school day: were succeeded by college and unlvereity. and Ian June brought an opportunity for experience and adventure when he joined a Geological Group whose surveys took them to the far Can- adian North — to the North West Territories. To us this has been a etnnge hinterland. in mind as dis- tant almost as another ‘planet. Bill's letter however has brought vast distances closer and given us nice glimpses of scenes from the interval qaent there . . .

E. I. By I. II. |faeArt|aIr Today we are able to travel many miles on fairly good high- ways. but some of our oldest re- aldents still can remember when a trip from Summerside to Char- lottetowri took many hours. This was in the days before mo- tor cm. of course. but even if our forefathers had had automo- bilu, they would have been next to useleae on the roads of seventy- flve or a hundred years ago. Horses and oxen then were the bearers of burdens. The green. im- provement in our roads has come since the invention of the auto- mobile. Poor roads were a great hind- 1-ance to travel in pioneer days, and the first settlers in the le- land built their humble homes by the sea. or on rivers. Of course, the great forests boasted many trails, mostly the work of our Micmac Indians who used them for travelling long distances to visit their friends. or when they set out in hunting expeditions. When the white settlers moved in. these trails were wlldened and blazed so that a cart might be drawn along the route. The swampy sections were filled with logs and stones to keep the cart from sinking into the mire. C O O The Island was so thinly pop- ulated. and the inhabitants so poogifinhat little in the way of we provements could be un- dertaken at that time. Until the Canadian National Railway rail- road we completed, stage coaches were the principal means of trans- portation. On the longer runs, horses were dsanged several times. One of the old stagecoach route: was between Sununeraiide and Charlottetown. via Bonahaw and Cornwall.

So if you desire to marry. just. elve the blessing, as old-fashioned Methodists used to say, and Heaven will nnswer your prayer for is wife without even bothering you to utter it. The best advice I can give you is to summon up what hardlhocd you can and go out to where you will meet women and where you will give them a chance. I think you make a mistake in not considering the women who are noes as eligible candidates.
