MURRAY RIVER, P. E. I. Belebrates His 6th. ANNIVERSARY

physical universe 01' ours. this thing called “time" is indeed mov- ing rapidly on and ever on.

We no doubt have all come to know something about the swift- ness with which our own allotted portion of time is slipping quick- ly away; and probably too we may have complained about its passing speed. We may even have felt that each year was apparently getting shorter than the one be- fore it.

Yes. so often has time slipped by so quickly that etimea before we realized it. the moments-even the hours-which might have been spent 1n doing some noble deed, or in determining upon some high and noble purpose, which ntlght have changed the whole open course of our lives. that time has slipped away into the put.

‘rhere is thus a great sadness about in thought of the swift flight of time and of the lost op- portunities, which along with it. have for us. gone by forever.

We stand today at the close of the first quarter of our Grand Division year. ~

It scents only a little willie-ap-

naving lurid, of Hope organized v wherever possible-and that as the . week beginning Feb. 21st is being ‘ sci. aside by the Teachers Federa- .t:oii of Prince Edward Island as Education Week we would suggest ‘ that u special effort be put forth i 1 by all of our Grand officers and l others lnttrestril in the welfare of i our children to have as many of i the schools as porsiblc visited that week. ‘Mliuit we as a Grand Division ,rcqucsi. iiic Grand Worthy Pat- lrizirclt and the Grand Scribe to .have a letter of sympathy pre- ,pared and sent to the family of ‘ the late D. M. McDonald of Hope- tialc \\lio itas for a long number of j years a highly esteemed member Wand also at one time an officer- of the Cirand Division. -l. That we as a Grand Division hike this opportunity of putting or. I ord our high appreciation of the splclttild service rendered our Or- ilcr by Rcv. Carlyle Watterwortl" when in tlic employ of the Tem- perance Fedcration-tve know that he llf‘\'(‘l' spared himself in any way ‘ whenever he could do anything to advance the cause of temperance 11nd we all join in wishing him God speed "Ellld we would suggest that a ctipy of this resolution be ‘sent to Rev. Mr. Watterworth by . our Grand Scribe. 5. That. we as a Grand Division ‘ hcre assembled commend the Pro- vincial Government for the very noticeable increased activity in law enforcement iriciudirig the raid- ing of the Club Rooms in Char- lottetown. since the annual meet- ing of the Temperance Federation ‘lteld in Charlottetown in Decem- ber last and we would urge upon the said government. the need of _ ‘still more intensified effort along' the same line. i At the public meeting in the levelling the following resolution ‘was added to the above list. and this one was also sanctioned by the said public meeting. i Resolved: ; lfil. That. we at this public tem- perance meeting here assembled ‘strongly; urge upon the Depart- ment of Island Revenue the neces- sity of the strictest possible cri- ‘ forccincnt of the laws. prohibiting ‘ the importation of intoxicating li- quors into this Province. and that a copy of this resolution be sent by our Grand Scribe to our At- . torncy Cirncriil iitid another copy to the IJJDLIIIJIICUL of Itilitnd Rev- Utllit‘. Utlitwn.

After this resolution and all of the other five as \vell. had been saitctioned by the public meeting lthc gathering was brought to a close by the singing of the Nit- tional Anthem.

PATRIARCIFS REPORT The follctvlug is the report of ' lhc Gralid Worthy Patriarch. iTo the Grand Division of the

i i t i

Sons of Temperance of Prince Ed- ward Island. ‘Officers and members:

One of the apparently self-evid-

of this scem to everyone. that. we fuel that we have here one fact at. lt-iist which needs no proof whatever in any age or in any ‘thine.

And yct even in the fare of the h Iivi that. wc thus hold regarding 1 we sometimes ctmnot help \\"‘l\fiL‘l'illg whether or not it is real- l; true. ,

‘when-we look about us in this nu...‘ physical universe of ours. v find everything so calm and w pcitlfcllll that there seems to be t ~ motion anywhere.

We look up into the starry heav-

. at. night. We see there the

- utless stars and as tar as action

cmct-rnerl everything is ap- "'1 y mcflonless. The same ‘i .s shone down upon our

ioi-cfathcrs in the ages gone are flu-re nt the present, time. shin- ‘ Eng down upon us of today. Since ‘ that time. there has been no ap- parent change and there is still n0 evidence of motion anywhere. Anti then when we have thus concluded that in this whole vast physical unlvcrse there are no elgns nf tnntlon iuivwhcrc. how tai we sav that. the one ele- tucut calico "time" is moving as .suc.h a rapid rate of speed. that. we rirc compcllt-tl to speak of that isatlift rate of speed under the tz-rm of "flying". It secms like a contradiction 1n terms then. to say that. everything in this great uni-i verso about us 1s motionless and then almost. in the same breath to say that. one element. at least, nevcr halts. ncvcr rests -- in oth- er words to say. that time al- ways "fli'cs." But. strange an it. may he. in this wonderful physical unlvcrse—ns in

some other great spheres of lite nit welL-thlngs are not al- ways what they seem to be. In-

stead of bring motionless. on the contrary. everything is in motion]

‘nd elements 1n this marvellous

pzirently just a few days-since we met in annual session in No- vember last and made great. plans for the wonderful things which we were going to do, in the incom- ing year then lying before us.

But today even in the face of the fact that it seems like only n few days since we last met, as we look at. the calendar and note i the date of our meeting-win Feb. lsth-we are brought to realize that already one whole quarter 1s gone. and. as far as we can judge at the present. with. much less et- tempted~much lees done than we iad hoped for.

Should then this thought of the terrible swiftness with which our time is slipping away not. arouse us to still more determined action. to do what we crave to do with all ‘

today. Yes we believe that. 1t liould.

Would then that we one and all would realize to the full, the aw- iil solemnlty of life and what. vast issues depend upon the proper use of our time. If we could but grasp this thought in its fullness and in its awfuiness we believe that it would send us out. with a burning zeal determined to fill every movement. with something

-wort.h while, something that. will. ‘ count when for us life's little day ‘

is over. past. and in no sphere of . life are we in greater need of‘ some- thing to spur us on to grater and
