The sweetest bird-song that we _l3\’C heard for many a day came mmugh the storm the other morning. The dawn had barely uegun to soften the eastern sky, ; i-old wind was driving through . downpour of rain when the lust notes of this wee bird's gladness rcnsned our cars. In .piw of the clouds the sun was rising. In spite of the cold and storm spring was on its way. with the spring life and beauty were coming. The little bird felt i'lEll' approach and called all nature to rejoice. . Inspiration has conle to the \(ll'ld often through darkness and li‘lIlDESl. so Shelley sings:—- -‘we look before and lifter Ami pixie for what is not; our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are tllosc that tell of saddest thought." we have solne of Robert ii-.li-iis' lovcllcst lyrics out of his li<l\f‘l'f.)'. frustration and ill- iiralth.

The }.eyl('ord in that sentence is "al- -.a_vs." It is easy to rejoice when -vi: is fair. But Paul meant this xliulliction to appply when oile‘s ('l‘CllI’I'l.‘i3I’ICE8 forbid happiness. when this was written, the apos- ile was in prison with the sword over his head hanging by a. hair.

Memorial Hospital: also for cards. flowers, and letters of sympathy. minister was once called to visit a. sick man. He found a saint who had plumbed the depths of human illness and who had risen out of them to the heights of God‘: consolation. so that; instead of comforting, young Lyle was comforted, and went home to write an expression of his new consecration in the hymn-— "Jesus, I my Cross have taken." His own hym:l—“Abide with me" was written one Sunday evening after he had conducted his last service .ln his church and under the conviction that his own pass- ing was not far away. It was Queen Mary's favorite hymn. out of the sorrow of a. prophet sprang the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, the clearest prophecy of the Messiah who was to save the world by His Cross. Jesus’ own c»xciamation—“It is finished" is not a cry of relief that all is over: it is a shout of victory. The mission of Redemption has been perfected: the Divine purpose of grace has been fulfilled. Aild thc consummation was His Cross. . . . is ll word in St. Paul's letter to the Philippians that is in point here. He was thanking them for ti generous gift sent to him in prison. and adds: "Not that I complain of want, for I have learned ill whatsoever state I am to be content." The literal and historical meaning of the lvord here translated “content“ is "self-sufficient." It was a fav- orlte word of the Stoics in those ancient days. They held that virtue was life's chief end. and that in pursuing it, neither pain nor pleasure should be allowed to turn one aside. Man should be superior to his cil'i~uin.staiices. In prosperity or misfortune. in health or sickness. in victory or defeat the ideal man maintains an imperturbable equanimity. neither exalted nor depressed by anything external. No fear should disturb him: no late affect him. Man. sllould be able by his own ll-i.'l to withstand the pressure of circumstances. Plato lived long before Paul's time and he wrote: "The Creator conceived that a being who was self-sufficient would be far more excellent than the one who lack- ed anything." There Paul found that idea in the ihought of his time. He was as independent. of his environment as any stoic, but not because of anything in himself. Chri.-it's re- sources were available to his faith: and it was his dependence on Christ that made him inde- pendent of the world. so he ex- plained the bearilfg of that word: "Self-sufflcing" on his own case thus-—" I know how to be abasr-ti. and ‘i’ know how to abound: in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger. abundance and want. I can do all things in Him who i ngtht-nil me." ST. PATRICICS SCITOOLS (April Report) Grade X — l. Douglas Gallant.. Grade I X- 1. Mary Gallant, Coleen Mclileer, Bertha Doyle. Grade VIII 1.

Mrs. MacLeod, before her mar- riiige. was Elizabeth MacPherson. eldest daughter of the late Angus and Ann MacPherson, and was born in Bellevue, P.E.I., June 21 1388. When only a few‘ years old she removed with her parents to I-Iigh Bank. When a. young woman she went to Quincy. Mass. where shortly afterwards she married Malcolm MacLeod. formerly of Mt. Buchanan. P.E.I. some thirty- i\\'0 years ago they came to Pill- zite, RE. 1., where they purchas- ed a farm. some years later they removed to High Bank, and to Mrs. MacI4sod's old home. where she gave loving care to her aged parents until they passed away. In every place where Mrs. MacLeod ll\'t‘d, she made numerous friends. Her fine character. her cheerful disposition and her readiness to help all in need won for her the esteem of many. Besides her sorrowing husband she ‘leaves to mourn the following family: Ann (Mrs. Anthony Van Vugti Boston. Mass; Ruth (Mrs. John Hickok). Port Credit, 0nt..; Alice Macbeod. R.N.. Montreal, P.

Her funeral was held on Tiles- day, May 11th. After a private service at the home, a public ser- vice was held in the Little Bands United Church conducted by Rev. D. Wallace MacPherson. and from 1 very appropriate text paid a high tribute to her life of. service, and also comfort to the sorrowing family. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, showing the esteem ill which she was held. Her funeral was one of the largest held in the community for some years. She was laid to rest in the Little sands Cemetery. Her pall bearers were Walter Livingstone, Norman C. Stewart, John D. Bruce. Bruce Stewart. Angus Stewart and Mal- zolm MacNeill.

The new leaves, on the beech trees and small sh:'il‘o.<,' the soft green moss almost cover- ed with the sweet white ll" slit violet, and the tender fern fronds with the triliium nearby should make anyone very thankflil that they live near I little wood Some years ago the brush was gathered up from a small part. of, this wood and the ground levelled‘, and raked. Seed of the blue. blue' forget-me-not was sown and to-i day it is a sheet of blue under the; lovely green tress. There are a few yellow daffodils blooming to complete a satisfying l)i[‘lill'€.

It is 1 dream of the gardener‘ that more may be done of this kind of gardening in the years to, come. K , ‘ O 0 0 It is a joy to walk anywhere in the garden these days! The per- ennials are growing so well and there are quite a number of Tulips in bloom. One grouping of lily-like scarlet flowers are sweet scented. and when working nearby edging a border it was so lovely to see and smell the delicious fragrance. The Forsythia scrub has never been better with the arching sprays laden with bell-like golden flowers. This shrub looks especial- ly well near the evergreen hedge as it is inclined to look thin with- out its leaves unless the back- ground is a substantial green. Blue, blue grape hyacinths add a, nice color in the many daffodils under the Porsythia shrub. 1 MRS.
