Till DIVINE INITIATIVE

No characteristic of the' Chris- mn life is in logic more paradox- ical, but in experience! more as- sured. than that all goodness is of God while the sell remains ac- countable for all its sin.

To the natural man such' lan- guage seems exaggerated; and whatever may be true when it at- tains its goal. Christian living here and now is certainly not sf- lortiess either in thought or so- tlull.

For all men every dcclenslon in character administers its own anaesthetic and every advance nulckens moral and spiritual in- sight and susceptibility. The great-

the grace of Christ have the na- ture of sin; to endless puzzles about whether Divine grace or human effort comes first; and that. if all goodness is of God. then men are not persons but pup- pets, responsible neither for good nor evil.

In experience Christians are tin- consclous of such questions; and thought about them is illumined when it is kept in mind that, if there be a God of righteousness and love, to be totally outside the Creator's grace is s condition in which no creature can ever be.

No truly religious man measures his own will against Godis or feels

est. offender against tnjoys the largest immunity from its rtproschcs. while its satisfac- iions are seldom found in those who most deserve them.

The Christian condemns his wrong choice and careless act. but can only approve the right not congratulate himself upon them. But the language of a soul in thelpresencc of God-the lan- guage of devotion-is not intend- cd to provide premises for syllogis- lic argument proceeding outside the context of living experience.

when that use is made of it. it can easily lead to such extrava- gances as that works done before

acts”

any contradiction between de- pendence upon him and reliance on his own lence. His moral ireason must be sensitive and en- lightened. and, since religion and morality are thgroughly social. he may not rightly Judge as an in- dividualist without regard to soc- iety or Church.

But in the last resort nothing can be held to be right or wrong. good or bad, if conscience persis- tently decrees the contrary: there can be no conflict, that which arises from defective knowledge and insight. the moral will of a religious man and the divine righteous will.

Strange But True

A study oi the Islands of the East Indies throws much light on the customs, the . " ions and the peculiarities of the animals and humans, who inhabit this vast re- glon. First. let us look into New Guinea. Few regions of equal size on the globe have oeen so little changed from its primitive condit- ion. There are neither towns or vfusges - that is. no towns or Vill- ages such as we have in Canada. Even the population of New Guinea can only be estimated, and it is a fact that a large percentage of the natives have never come into actual contact with white men.

The climate of New Guinea is hot, humid and unhealthy. Ague fever, and dysentery are widely prevalent. Malaria is met with everywhere below elevations of 2,- 000 feet. In addition to the above mentioned diseases, leprosy, ele- phantiasis. and syphilis are wide- spread.

Dense forests cover almost all of Dutch New Guinea, though there is grasslands to he met with here and there. Sugar cane, rubber bananas. tobacco. bresdtruit, etc. all grow in New Guinea in spite of the fact that only patches of the lam have been brought under cultiva- tion. Perhaps the strangest thing about this Jungle-clad island is the almost entire absence of carnivo- rcus animals, and the forest con- tains very little game. But the country has more than its quota of insects.

I 0 0

The natives eat dogs, wild pigs. kangaroos. snakes, etc. And no wonder. for considering its great size it is undoubtedly one of the most unproductive islands on the globe. -

There are several types of na- tives. For example, the Negritos, the Melanesisns and the Papuans. The first mentioned are small. the second. tall and sturdy Mid the Papuans are of medium stature; all, however, are very dark-skim ned and kinky-haired. Most of the natives still use stone knives. axes. wooden spears and bows and ar- rows.

It is the Papuans who formerly were head-hunters and csnnibals. and in certain remote parts of the Island the old custom goes on in spite of all the Dutch authorities can do to stamp out the hellish practice.

Pspuans still worship their an- cestors and usually fear the spirits of the dead. They have certain elaborate ceremonies in which fan- tastic monks play a prominent part.

The Moiuccas group consists of hundreds of islands having a total area of some 35,000 square miles and an estimated population of 400.000.

The group is mountainous and nothing worthy of the name of :1 road exists. and there are no rail- roads. This is most amazing when we learn that these islands were

lhe spice islands of an earlier per- iod. which first attracted the in- terest of Europeans of the East Indies. X!

The group made up of uru, Ceram. and the Ambolna and Bon- ds groups have a population est-

imated at 60.000. about half of which are Christian and the other half Mshommedans.

Products are sugar cane, tobacco. coconuts, fruits and all.

Many of the natives of this group have Dutch names being descen- dants ot Dutch soldiers who were kept on the treeicss island of Kis- sr in the days of the Netherland East India Company.

Unlike New Guinea. this group of the East Indies is said to be healthful. though skin ailments are very common.

All the people of the Moluccas speak languages that are Maiyo- Polneslan in form, yet strange to say. they all do not understand each other. To overcome this bar- rier they rmort to a kind of nia- gln Malay. Stranger still. very few are literate. though writing has been known in the East Indies for almost a thousand years.

Perhaps the strangest thing about Celebes is its shape. No one has more than ventured a guess as to its also because of its mountainous nature and zigzag coastline and narrow. crooked northern peninsula.

The vegetation of the Celebes is usually rich. though large trees are less common than on some other East Indian islands.

Celebes is the very center of the East Indies Archipelago. and one would naturally expect to find ani- mal species representative of the entire region. The reverse, however, is true. and believe it or not. some animals are.found here that are not known elsewhere. Large beasts of prey do not exist. Too- rmd this is, odd - the insects of Celebes are largely Decullar to the island. Take butterflies for ex- ample. almost a hundred species are unknown elsewhere.

Into this area are crowded 41,. million human beings made up as follows: Europeans 8.000. Cnlnsso 41,000. the rest being made up or Asiatlcs. Home of the natives are so primitive they still live in caves. others have become Christians dur- ing their 400 years contact with white men. Here you will find cities with motion pictures. theatres. hot- els. clubs. and everything that goes into,ths making of a modern and up-to-date city. ' -

Borneo is unique among the East Indies group in that the equator passes through its very centre. with no marked variation either in the weather or in the temperaturr and what rain falls does so during the nights, Magnificent mlrages appear in the sftemoons. and phosphore- scent dtsplays frequently occur ill the waters off shore.

Borneo is also the home of the Orang-Utan - an ape which so closely resembles man that it is often referred to as a wild men. hence the term "The Wild Man of lemeo."

Among the Dyak tribes are nel- tber found temples or priests. such

simple rites as they have are per- forated by the father of each fam- ily. But they recognise a kind of
