We return to an Island where granite is a rare rock, wltcre cliffs rise .-edly out of the encircling waves. and where today the same sun rose golden with promise of fair weather, over the quiet hills of morning. calling folks to resume the round that belongs to their Norkaday ‘ week. 4 I I It pleases us on occasion to come to ends of ra"‘v choring. and thus it was that ow-call h:i:led its ircm the neighboring woodlands.

(Tho London-Times) St. Paul tells the Philippiiin Christians of his prayers for them that they may "approve things that are excellent.’ He did not suggest that this approval need involve nothing more than the mere giving of assent to their superiority. as one would decide between the qualities of this or that work of art. For him, approval implied much more than this; it had a more deeply personal and subjective con- notntion. To approve the excellent was to embrace it as the standard and ideal for the indlvla‘ual’s own 11 e. In the Gospels the relation be- tween seeing and doing. vision and act. knowledge and obedience. is utterly vital. It is pos;-ible to admire the life and teaching of Christ. as one would look at a great medieval painting: to approve his ideals for human life: to be that)- ly moved by the spectacle of the crucifixion. and yet to be unaware of any direct challenge or any claim demanding a personal re- sponse; to admire. vet not to allowi wor- i that admiration to lead to ship: to approve the highest, yet, not to love it. i The well-known words of Ovid.l ‘'I see and approie the better course: I follow the worse," could all too often be applied to human corrduct. so easy is it to fall into the error of thinking that to ad- mire the good is of itself the guar- antee of goodness. Many freely admit that the only hope for the world lies in the ac- ceptance of the Christian ethic. and yet are not p'.'e,1arcd to make the personal response without *\mnc~c\c\ Thai‘ Body. Of Yours By James W. Burton, nu). nsmovar. or am-rnivuinx In the great majority of people the skin of the face is clear with no blemishes present. «That is why the individual with a face blem- ish is always conscious of it, and may develop an inferiority coni- plex. He avoids others and seeks seclusion in the home or the homes of friends or relatives. Fortunately. his drugglst. can supply mm with substances that cover the blemish at special times, but naturally he wants to feel free to go anywhere anytime. ’ Because facial blemishes mean various methods of getting rid of them are being used. The common- est form of blemish is the port wine birthmark (Naevus flam- meuz). and skin and beauty spec- 'la.lists for years have been trying filo remove this mark without caus- ;lng any scarring or disiluremcnt. :_Removlng the mark by surgery and ‘skin grafting is considered the “ap- proprlate" treatment. but the fac- 'ial blemish which rornains a large area of pale grafted skin may be gas noticeable as the port wine ‘stain which it has replacsd.

Obedience therefore is the key to knowledge and cleainess of vision. is only as men "follow the gleam" which they descry. that the illumination of their path be- comes brighter. If the capacity for moral and spiritual discrimination depends in large measure upon the degree in which men endeavour to translate their understanding into the con- duct to which it points. it. would seem that the deed is more import- ant than the vision. or at least that it is the condition in which a.lone—the vision can be retained p and clarified. To approve the excellent implies the comprehension of what the excellent is, and in so far as a man has the spiritual capacity to recog- nize it. such comprehension is again the reward of following the high- est. as he sees it. The Christian, then. needs to pray not only for the capacity for discrimlnatlon—-that he may see clearly what is higher and what lower. but also for the determina- tion humbly to follow the light ‘which the life and teaching of hind.
