Literature And Life

By BOOKMAN ' DMVZQMG Tl-ll FOESAKEN

"The F'orsa.km" is the title of a poem by the late Duncan Gunp- beil Scott. one of Canada's best writers. For long he had been head of the department of Indian Affairs. a branch of the public service. Dr. Scott did a great deal to give his native country a high place in the things of the mind. and his long association the Indian department gave him special qualifications of insight and sympathy to write of them as he does in this poem. for it deals with an Indian mother and her son.

There are two scenes. In the first we see a Chippewa woman with her sick boy, a baby in arms. on e frosen lake in the north country. A great sturm has come down and they are cold and hun- gry. The problcmgfacing her is to get food for her child, she made a line of the twisted bark of a cedar tree, used a rabbit bone hook. and fished all day through a. hole in the ice -- fished but caught nothing. Meantime, the little chieftain kept tugging at her breasts. The storm raged like fire. Not to be outdone she baited her hook with a piece of the flesh of her own arm and with this she caught a trout, then another and another. Her child's life was saved. she pushed on in the face of the storm, covering a distance long. lonely and unif- himtcd. For two wnole days this tremp lasted, but on the third day she saw the rmoke oi the de- sired fort hang soft iii the aprucee. Then she found rest,

Scene two is plued years and years after. Tnst boy who caused his mother so much anxiety is now an old men with a family of his own. Time has slowed down the pace of the withered mother. She is once more in the cold

north land and it h on the verge of winter. The son and his fem- lly are there too. but one night.

PACE '1 i-IREE

Our

christian outlook. The christian use all things as deriving their entire being from the first cause. Things have absolutely nothing which they have not received. All creatures exist by God's gifts, with this difference, however. that among the earth's inhebltants, only man is capable of recogniz- ing that this is so. And since he can know that he lives on divine elrnl. God expects men to ask for such aims.

in its simplest form. this is what it mama to pray. There are iawo ways of ” someone else to do something for us. If he is an inferior, we may command him to do it. If, on the other hend, he is superior to ourselves. we do not olnmend him. we ask him, we be- seech him to be kind enough to

fection from prayer?

Two reasons stand out. one is the diminution of faith among menl With this goes the wide- spread inditfexcnce to rellglon,' the lost awareness of God's pre-l some in the universe and of the: dependence of all things and all

events on the divine Will.

The other contrary reason is an somewhst prevalent fatalistlc at-

titude toward the events of his-

tory and of ones own life. It re-

gards,everythivig as eternally de-

creed-by an immutable divine will

which prayer muld never change.

Whatever is to happen will in-

evitably happen and we are pow-

erless to do anything about it.

Prayer would he a mere waste of. time. ' Let us examine these reasons.- In the first case. God. if there is, a God. is not responsible for any- thing that happens in the uni- verse. In the second once. every- thing that happens simply fulfills an inexorable and immutable di- vine decree. In either case, prayery is rendered utterly useless, if not' even absud.

This is a far cry from the truel

all unknown to the poor mother.1 they stole away. taking their; traps. rabbit .sItIi"iS and canoes--, leaving the mother alone for. thought they:

"she is old and useless. 5 Like a paddle broken and warped. or a pole that was splintered." She was left without a word of' farewell. What could she do? Shel was valiant and unshaken. and. though the passing years had subdued her. she bad self com- posure left. so she smoothed her dark locks under her kerchlcf. composed her shawl in state. then

ews and corded with velns-- fold- ed them across her breasts spent with the nursing of children. she gazed helplessly at the sky pest the tops of the cedars. saw two apengled lights arise out of the twilight, saw two days so by fined with the tranquil sunshin. On the third night there came mil- lions of snow--flekea out windlese cloud. The staxm covered her, but a tiny column of breath arose out of a little cleft in the snow. a sign, so to speak. of the spirit. It was fragile, delicately drawn, wavering with its own weakness. This lasted ell day. then she died. She had come to another fort, this time, and again, she had rest.

There are at least two thoilghts in this poem that make an ap- peal on Mother's Day. The first. is that. though she was only a Chippewa omen, she sacrificed for her child, and that sacrifice is powerfully described. she gave of her own flesh to keep him alive. Does not our knowledge of life enable us to elaborate that idea? We think of the care, the vigilance. the ceaseless toll. the sacrifice. the endurance, the for- givehess of motherhood. we think too, of the mothers who roared their families in this land in the early days. when the only road was e trail in the woods; the dwelling but a log cabin; and the light a tellow candle; and the wind sishlng in the tree tolls mingled with the mother's lullaby.

The second thought is --this is a study and a powerful one -- in lngrstitude. Hcw cruel to leave

had sacrificed so much for him and so long! While in this bold way, few may violate the fifth cormnendmcnt, still it a possible thet the young and the suong may forget the claims of 3. Away up among the hills a moth- : may stand at a cordon geie. looking for a letter from an ab- sent son. when the mail goes by. only to be dis-appointed. Blind in- deed is he who cannot discern the scars the years have left on the mother who bore him.

How true this little verse is: "Who ran to lick) me when I tell And would some pretty IW7 N"- or kiss the piece to make it well?

My Mother." A

'The second is that this very im-

folded her hands ridged with sin-l

of e,

alone. to forsake the mother who,

favor us.

The latter is always our status in relation to God. God is ever our superior. Under no circum- stances can we command Him to lrrent us e. favor. All we can, ever do is ask Him. place our petltiu humbly before Him. Whenever we do this. we are praying.

Does the Ohristlui, then. think that by praying he is able to in- cline God's Will, to persuade God to alter the dispositions of Pro- vidence? Thls 'voulcl. indeed be a naive conception.

Two truths must be remembered here. The first is that Godvis Will is absolutely immutable. Hence no amount of importunlty on our part can make Him change it.

mutability of the divine will is the source of the efficacy of prey- er. Let us see why this is so,

Cause and Hfect

The Ohrlstilm believes that everything that happens is willed or at least permitted in advance by a providential decree. Further- more, this providential decree has also determine! the manner in which things happen, whether by necessary causes or by free causes. As God has prepared seeds and! rain and sunshine as so many causes to bring forth the harvest of grain, so He has prepared some aplrltusl seeds. divine graces, to bring forth spiritual fruits of holl-

effects. the very causes which are to produce them.

This is precisely the place pray- er has in the order of Providence. Pro or begins to make sense once we cc it as a cause ordered to the production of the effect of obtain- ing gifts from God. Health, en- lightenment of mind. moral strength. success in our under- takings. divine grace, these are gifts often given to us in answer to prayer. From all ctemlty God decides to give us such gifts and in the some instant decides to give them to us as e result of our prayers.
