Lenten Meditations BELIEF AND ACTION (The London-Times) _ leliaf and action are both essent- in elements in religion; but be- lief is primary and action second- ary. A tree is known by its fruits: but were there no tree there would be no i‘rults——ln the and. indeed. everything depends upon that part of the tree which is invisible, the roots deep hidden in the ground. Yet it is not enough to speak of belief. There is 9. further momen- tous question; belief in what? There have been false pruphefs. ancient and modern. men of consummate faith. who have deluded multitudes ‘because they were. in the first place. sell‘-deluded. They believed »in themselves, in their mission. in their destiny, and from this belief they gained power which attracted many to them; yet in the end they flew destruction upon thesnseivaa similar motives have prompted many a lesser man. He is sure of himself. He knows what he wants in life, and is determined to get it. No spectacular destruction awaits him; merely the disappointment of failure. or the even more poignant disappointment of success. gave them their request." said the Psalmist, “but sent leanness into their soul." Self-trust is half-way to sell-despair. Is it enough. then, to put trust in another—in a friend, a loved one, a leader? This brings an initial freedom to the spirit. yet unles this loyalty be set within a larger loyalty it may prove equally cic- structive. There is no idol which has not feet of clay. The Christian attitude was once well stated by Imd Ch-arnwood: “Towards any great man. alive or dead. except our Lord, the attitude of disciple- ship is unreasonable and unmanly; towards our Lord, as from a simple reading of the Gospels we all more or less conceive of him, some sort of unaffected discipleship appears, as we go on in life, the only reas- onable or manly attitude." Those who accept this disciple- ship are called to ouedienc and to action. They must, in the first place, tell others of the one who is their master-—though this also may be done as much by action as by speech. The Christian is called to dis- giay his Master's love in action: a must work to transform that world after the pattern his mate has revealed. It has been well aald' that, wherever justice or mercy‘. is in question, there Jesus Christ. claims to be sovereign Lord. The Christian goes forward to action with no self-confidence. but confident in the one who has called him. There will often be failure: but there is a way from failure.‘ through penitence. to new life. ‘He who really "believes in forgiveness is saved from the necessity of de- o Modern Efiquefie By lloberta Dee .

PHYSICIAN Many of us laughed when we read some years ago that in Elm- lish railway stations one could in- sert a coin in a slot machine on which various ailments were print- ed and the medicine for lih-at ail- ment would come out of the machine. The patient was in other words. supposed to know what was wrong with him and make his own diagnosis. As a matter of fact, patients frequently have some symvpwms which they think are caused by a certain ailment when they are really caused by another ailment entirely. What may appear to be a simi- lar method of diagnosis is a sheet of questions which the patient is given by the busy physician before he is examined. The firs! thing your doctor asks is a. history of you, your work. your family or domestic life. your occwpation and whether or not you like your wcrk He then wants in kncvvv your symp- toms, how and when they appear. how long they last, whether pain is sitar-p, dull. nagging. and many other questions. As all this ques- tioning takes up a lot of lime. it can be seen that the paiicnt‘s ans- wering all these questions before the examination‘ is a great help to the physicians. An editorial in “Clinical Medi- cine." headed Improving Your Diagnosis, states. "Taking a good history calls for time, more time than may be devoted to every pat- ient. If one could only separate those patients needing a thorough history frcm those who do not."

It. happened that we saw very little wild life during the early Summer excepting a few beers. and then kept an appoint- ment with the plane that moved us to another location. We were very glad to see it, since it meant mail and news from the outside. This time four of us were mov- ed in a small island in the centre of Gt. Slave Lake. where we pick- ed up a large freighter canoe and two outboard motors. From there we picked our way through the islands to the north side of the east arm of_the lake and working east- ward a distance at about a hun- dred and eight miles, run traverses inland about six miles at intervals of four miles.

PUZZLED ANSWER: Perhaps the reason you are not popu- in is ‘because you are bossy. Most executive people are, even when they don't realize it. The talent of efficiency gets you where you are going. but It doesn't make you friends en route. Perhaps it hurts the vaniiy of others to see someone succeed where they have failed or perhaps it is because all of us like to do things in our own way and we resent having someone assume authority over us and tell us just where we get on and get off. Do YOU FEEL SUPERIOR? Or perhaps the reason you are not popular is because you feel yourself superior lo the women with whom you are thrown in your club work. Perhaps you are not popular because you talk too much. I know a woman who has every good quality, but whom people avoid as they would the ‘ just because she has too much tongue. She seems to think that the whole world is dying to know every detail all ‘her private affairs and she never lets anybody get in in word about i e rs. Perhaps the reason you are not popular is because you are not friendly yourself. You have got to meet people more than halfway and do a lot of liking yourself If you want to be liked. If you are not popular. be sure the fault is in yourself. Everybody cannot be wrong about you. DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: My son is almost 12 years old.

At fil-st,’ii was not carried on to any extent, but some years later the setitlcrs were mak- ing practicaliy all articles of cloth- ing required. As the need for more material increased. a number of carding ping sprang up in various local- ltiu. These were often operated in conjunction with a grist-mill or a sawmill. . At wan-en's Mills. Nunih ltlver. the skeleton of a once-flourlshlll-‘g carding plant could be seen.un.'.il recent. years. when the bulldmx was demolished. t C 0 Another operated at Crapsud. one at Frencirkiver, etc. Perhaps some reader of mo "C-uardlian" will be able to give us more data about these mills. when they be- gan to operate and who owned them. Such information would, I interest as the story connected with their operation is now almost. a forgotten chapter in the annals of pioneer days in this Province. The wool used to be woven into two distinct kinds of cloth. one called woollen cloth. and the oth- er worsted. The difference was due to the way the yarn was pre- pared. The worsted cloth was fin- er and more handsome in appear- ance, and always went into dress- up garments. C 0 First. the wool rcceived a thor- ough cleaning, then it was drawn into light strands called rolungs. This was combed a number of times. until the fibres lay smooth- ly side by side. The short ends were combed away. The roning was sent to the spinning room where it was spun into yarn. Two or more strands were often twisted together when a heavier yarn was needed. Then it went to the weav- ers. in a changeable .cll'msi.e like ours. woollen garments are very important. Every pioneer family were heavy woollen underwear, suits, drcses and overcoats. In- deed. they owed their excellent health to the sheep and there were few farmers who did not own I nice flock. A good ewe would yield about ten pounds of wool. though the average was considerably less. . O O O Shearing usually commenced early in May or not later ihan the first of June. Some farmers did their qwn shearing, but al- most every community had its travelling sheep-barber. When he arrived. the farmer would send his sons to round up the flock. Then one by one. the sheep-barber with nothing but a pair of hand-shears, would clip off the wool, placing the animal on iis buttocks; with its head turned to one side. A good shearer could take the wool_irom a flock of twenty in a single day. Then, as now, sheep-killing dogs did much damage among the flocks and it was a pitiful sight to see ewes and lambs torn to pieces by these blood-thirsty mur- deters.
