THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN -
Some years ago an article was published under the title "In Spite Of--". A famous Negro singer had just visited the city and had thrilled to the soul everyone who heard her. especially by her rend- sring of the Negro "spirituclles." The writer pointed out. that these songs had arisen out of the cruel- ties to which that race had been subjected--the horrors of the slave ship. the humiliation of bondage in a strange land. and all the han- dicaps agalnst which they hid 9) struggle since their liberation. The crushing of the flower releases its fragrance. and the suffering oi the race has inspired melodies which in their turn have inspired '11 mankind.
Nor has that suffering ceased. During the last. war someone ask- ed for suggestions of the penalty that Hitler deserved, and a colored girl sent in this reply: "Paint him black and make him live in I while community."
I have before me a grim com- mcniary on that saying from a re- cent edition of the newspaper. It tells of the expelling of two Negro members of a nurses' graduating class from a district roadhouse during a class party. One of these girls was president of her class and both were favorites. When the person who requested them to leave on account of their color was ill in the hospital these girls attended him: they were good enough to minister to him in suf- fering. but not good enough to be guests in his house. Now here is where the story illustrates our subject: "When asked to leave the party the two girls slipped out be- cause they did not want to see I fuss made." A more Christian way of meeting insult with considerat- ion cannot be imagined.
But the point of our study is the music that rises out of sorrow.
The poet Shelley wrote:
"We look before and after
"And pine for what is not;
Our sincerest laughter
with some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those Which tell of saddest thought."
A story from the olden time il- lustrates this law.
"A distinguished musician or- dered a manufacturer of violins to make for him the best instrument possible. He told him to use the best material. take all the time he wished. and use all his skill in its construction.
"At last the manufacturer sent for the musician to come and try the violin. As the musician drew the bow across the strings, his face became clouded. Lifting the instru- ment. he smashed it. to pieces on the counter. handed the price to the manufacturer. and left the shop."
Some people would call that musician temperamental. but it is a crude mistake to dignify bad temper and bad manners with such a title. In this case the manufact- urer was a n-obler soul than his critic, and. with his reputation at stake, he was not satisfied with mere pay. He gathered up the fragments and put them together. After he had thus re-made the violin out of the broken pieces. he sent for the musician again. This time the frown did not appear; in- stead he told the manufacturer that he had succeeded at last in making just the kind of instru- ment that he desired.
”What is-the price'."' he asked.
"Nothing at all." replied the
ERNEST C. WEBB
The death occurred at his home in Cavendish on May 17th of Ern- est C. Webb in his seventieth year. Born at Unionvale. P. E. 1., lie was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Webb.
In 1907 he and his wife came to live in Cavendish on the farm familiarly known as "Green Gab- les". When the property was sold to the Dominion Government in 1937 to become part of the Island's National Park. Mr. Webb was re- iained as warden of the Green Gables area until his retirement in l945. During that period his un- failing courtesy in dealing with the public. won for him a host of friends.
Besides his wife. who tenderly cared for her husband during his long and trying illness. Mr. Webb is survived by his son Keith. of Norval. Ontario; also four daught- ers. Mrs. Murray Laird. I150 09 Norval; Anita of Toronto; Lor- raine. Mrs. Harold Veasey of Ot- town; and Pauline. Mrs. Heber Jones of Charlottetown. One daughter. Ina. died in infancy. A brother. Edwin. of Morro Bay. Cal- ifornia. and two sisters. May, Mrs. William McKendrick of Campbell- ton. P. 22. Island; Mrs. Belle Hill of Wcstport. Connecticut. I Being possessed of sterling quali- ties of, mind and heart. the late Mr. Webb will be greatly missed in the home and also in the com- munity in which he lived.
Funeral services conducted by Rev; Mr. Gough in Cavendish United Church were largely It- tended. The floral tributes wet! many and beautiful. silent tokens of affection from relatives. friends and neighbors. Burial was in the family plot. at Cavendish.

manufacturer. "it is the some in- atrument that you smashed to pieces; I put them together. and out of the fragments this perfect music has been made."
This often happens in the soul of man. For example. George Mstheson. I brilliant student. lost his sight. in early life. Out of that affliction came some of the great- est preaching and sweetest songs Scotland has ever produced among them the hymn. "0 Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go."
Here is his prayer about his blindness:
"My God. I have never thanked Thee for my thorn. I have thank- ed Thee a thousand times for my roses. but not once for my thorn. I have been looking forward to a world where I shall get compen- sation for my cross, but I have never thought of my cross as it- self a present glory. Thou Divine Love. whose human path was per- fected through suffering. teach me the glory of my cross. Show me that I have climbed to Thee by the path of pain. Reveal to me that my strength has been the pro- duct of the hour when I wrestled until the break of day. And then shall I know that my thorn was blessed by Thee; and then shall I know that my cross was a gift from Thee: and I will raise a monument to the hour of my sor- row. and the words that I will in- scribe on it shall be these: it is good for me that I have been af- flicted'."
Some years ago I planted hund- reds of pines on a wood-lot in the north, some on the edge of the lake and many in sheltered places! Often in the spring I found that the little trees inland had been bent over by the snow and I had to brace them up. But I never needed to help those beside the lake. They were exposed to the prevailing winds of the district and. in resisting their pressure, they had developed a strength that defied the storm.
Oncoatadinnerlheard this remark about a man whom lknew. "What I brain that man has!" A little while before I had read a few notes from that man's diary in which he described his urly struggle for an education. What his comrades learned easily be had to acquire by prolonged effort. but the struggle to learn developed in him a mental and moral strength that was the wonder of thousands.
So often "In spite of..." be- comes "By means of..." The han- dicap is made an asset by the spir- it in which it is borne.

BATEING AND DRINKING
Ducks are found on large lakes. Klngdshers beside smaller bodies of water. Herons In marshes. Even song birds require water. Without it there can be no vegetation. which means no food, and it is also needed forldrinkihg and bath- ing. Only a very few species make any attempt to live in dry. barren parts of the country--Prairie War- blers. Yellow-throats. H e 1' mi t Thrushes occasionally.
When water is not available from any other source. birds drink drops of dew and take shower batlu by shaking rain from leaves. Given water but no food birds. like men. can survive for some time. In very hot weather they are often willing to travel quite a

hit the surface and bounce for- ward. as a stone being skipped. One observer saw a very young Tree Swallow taking its first flight. which happened to be over a lake. After 75 yards it dropped in. exhausted. But Mother Nature had given it ability to swim with-

The water It the deepest point should not be more than two in. ches, and quite shallow near the edges. It is possible to rig up I foundation of rocks on which to place the basin. but it is better to raise it about four feet from the ground. out of reach of prowling animals. If you can arrange for moving water, or I drip that makes a nice tinkle. so much the better. At. any rate see that a bush or low tree is just south of the basin to cast a welcome shade at midday, and to which the bathcrs may fly for protection.
