One of the strange features of today is our attitude towards old age. Medical science and social progress are prolonging human life. And at the same time, men are being retired from active ser- vice at In earlier age than ever. The papers are full of discussion about pensions for the old. as if their only claim on society was for support. The fact is ignored that many men are at the height my their power at the ordinary "E9 or retirement. Experience. wide and varied. has given them a knowledge of human life and a measure of wisdom in handling its problems which make them po- tcritiiilly the most valuable mem- bers of society.

Alf one far past the age of re- tirement and who,had his richest opportunities after sixty-five I want to plead for a chance for men who have just reached that age and who are capable of het- tpr work than ever they did in the past. Of coursc. if judged by their capacity for use-fuiness. some men ought to he, retired at forty. But many are at the peak of their power at sixty-five.

It is folly to ignore an asset of curb worth. Consider what states- men like Palmerston and Glad- sionr did in their later years and what Winston Churchill is doing- and learn.

There is a story in the Bible of a man of eighty-five. which has 'a lesson for us here. Caleb tho Kcnizzitc is the old man who was offered a reward and asked for an opportunity. VVhcn the time rnme forvhlm to rest. he requested instead the stiffcst job in sight. He had a right to go to an in- heritance by the most sacred of all titles. viz, the word of God through Moses. and he had also the privilegn of choosing where a n ri w h a i it. should be. and he selected a spot held by the strongest of his people's enemies. so that a new victory for the na- tion would be the only way by which he could come to his own. Forty-five years before he had affirmed his faith in God's power to give his people the land prom-

faith of his youth against; the gtrongest in the land. Just a glance at the story.

When the tribes of Israel reached the borders of Palestine, and sent men to spy out the land, Caleb and Joshua were among the twelve selected. The other ten re- ported that it was a good land. but so strongly held that there was no possibility of the tribes Conquering it. Against the major- ity report these two maintained that their God. who commanded them to advance, could give them victory. The people as a whole accepted the majority report, and the two who held out against them were almost stoned. The re- sult was Israel's forty years wan- dering in the wilderness.

But now a new generation had arisen. and under Joshua. had established themselves in the land. Joshua offered his old comrade any place in the land that he might choose as the reward of his faithfulness and as a recognition of Moses promise. Caleb chose Hebron. a stronghold which had not yet been taken by Israel's armies. To capture it was a van- ture both difficult and dangerous but success would mean strength- ening the nation as well as secur- ing his own reward. Joshua con- sented and Caleb, the aged suc- ceeded. Read the story in Joshua 14-5-15 and 15-13-14,

I want to appeal to the older members of the church to come to the front in this emergency in order to turn the faith of their youth into the facts of today.

In this column, we have already drawn attention to the vision and enthusiasm of present generation young people. But it does seem to me that. the youth of forty years ago were crusaders in a sense that is scarcely true of youth now. The earnest souls of today seek truth: the earnestsouls of yesterday sought the right and gave themselves to establish the right in the land. They assuMed the truths which are now being discussed anew and proceeded to embody them in the form of hu- man life. -

Recall the enthusiasm of tem- perance reformers and their vic- tories. the belief in the sanctity of the Lord's day and its defence, the seal behind the student vol- unteer movement and the layman's missionary movement. and the de- termination carried right to Ottawa to prevent the covetous from making money out of vice. None of these causes have the same practical energy thrown into them now as church people did years ago, and ground is being lost on many fronts. Nevertheless. the old faith still stands-what ought to be done can be done. and men of-faith-are-called to do it.

Retirement should give stronz men the privilege of doing things

ing was upon them. When time-

and strength are yours. turn your dreams into realities. For us all. "the best is yet to be. the last of life for which the first was made."

I want here to pay a tribute to the brave and strong old stock who laid the foundations of their nation. They were tender and loyal in life's intimate relation- ships and one was fortunate to be included among those whom they called their own: but they were like adamant against all who would undermine the principles for which they stood. They did not know how to be agreeable to the men whose methods and spirit they despised. and they had little patience with other youth of ma- turity that did not know how to be severe on oneself in the in- terests of purity and right.

I " ,. ' ..t, honest. hard-work-' ing giving.double for everything they ever got. their one desire was never to be a burden on any- one. while to have to depend on public charity would have broken their spirit. While they confessed that they owed everything to God's free grace, they persisted in interpreting the religion by which they lived in the terms of obliga- tion. They asked only the priv- ilege of service.

We, their children. live in a wider world with vast new oppor- tunities. It. is our call to apply their principles to these lariier issues.

COMMISSION MEETS-A spec- ial meeting of the Charlottetown Playground Commission was held at the Travel Bureau Thursday, July 13 at 7 P-m Mr. Roy Mac- Giilivray presided. There was a good attendance. Ways of amus- ing the children were discussed with the supervisors. Some new equipment has been purchased. Plans are being made for picnics to be held later in the season. Supervisors reported very youn-g children were brought. to the squares and left in their charge. After some discussion it was de- cided that supervisors will not be responsible for children under two years of age. It is hoped that parents will co-operate by not sending small children unless an older member of the family stays to look after them. At the end of the business session. the meeting adjourned until a later date.

The Corcoran Business Training Studio closed for the summer months on Friday, June 30. Clos. ing exercises were held in the College classrooms. the Principal. Miss Corcoran. presiding.

Before announcing the mm; of "16 graduates. Miss Corcoran con- gratulated the students on the sm- ount of work done by them dur- ing the term and on the re'sults of such work-the splendidly-ivrib ten examination pipers they had handed in. She advised the sten- Oirllihers to copy a letter from the textbook each day, so that when a position offered they would be ready with no loss as to speed. Advice was given to those who had not completed the textbook. to write the exercises and mail them in and they would be mark. ed and sent back to them, and if they did this it would help cut down time spent on review work when they returned in September.

A lovely gift was then present- ed to Miss Corcorsn by Miss Mar- lene MacLean. on behalf of the students-an expression of appre- elation for her good work among them throughout the term. A fit- ting reply was made. and best wishes exchanged for I pleasant holiday.

BULLETINS FROM BIRDLAND 1 WINII-1El'D1E.wII.1otl

NORTHERN WATEI-TIIUSH

Are you spending your holidays near a forest through which a brook runs? Then your chsncss of coming upon a Northern Water- Thrush are fair. This interesting bird breeds across Canada from the Rockies eastward into New- foundland Labrador, and north to the tree limit, but is quite un- familiar to most people-plrtly be- cause of its protective colouring, but also on account of its chosen breeding territory.

Thrush in name only. it passes for a small member of that family because of looks and habits. al- though in reality it is a wood- land Warbler and close relative of the ovenbird. But on nearly every count it is absolutely unwa.rbler- like. A suggestion has been made that Bogbird would he s. suitable name. This ground frequenter walks instead of hoppingt As it steps daintily along the margin of some sluggish stream notice the jerking tall. wag-tall is one of its names. However, the movement appears to be produced by the springy walk, as the whole rear portion of the body bobs up and down like a Spotted Sandpiperh.

Smaller and more slender than a House sparrow. the Northern Water-'I'hrush may be distinguish- ed from a true Thrush by certain markings. The dark. prominent breast streaks are not round like the splashing on the wood Thrush. The underpnrts have a. yellowish cast, there is a light, buffy this over the eye, and a dark cap- characteristica not belonging to any real Thrush. The main colour is iiilve brown.

As may be imagined, dry sum- mers are unfavourable to this species. A bird of shady corners and cedar swamps, the favourite nesting site is in the tumod-up roots of a fallen tree amidst. thick undergrowth, beside water. A de- cayed, moss-covered log may on- swer the purpose. The home is made of moss, often lined with reddish moss stems. The buffy- white eggs have light. brown mark- ings.

Perhaps the Water-Tl'lrush's sharp, metallic alarm note, "chink", catches your attention. or the delightful. melodious song which must be heard to be appreciated. With. a loud, olesr beginning. it gradually dies away. This bird is said to have a flight song also, though few people have had the opportunity of hearing it. when disturbed, the Water-Thrush files off very rapidly.

If you are never near its breed- ing ground: there is yet the pos- sibllity of seeing a. Water-Thrush in migration. In September one may be found taking time off un- der some shrubbery in your gar- den.
