the cnnrsrlun PATRIOT (The London-‘Pineal

How does a man's Christianity affect his patriotism? l'from the de.ys‘when Henry v could cry be- fore Ivlarfleur “God for Harry! Eug- landl and St. George! "till the war of 1914-18, Christians in England had usually assumed that there could be no fundamental clash be- tween the claims of National and religious loyalty. After the first world war. when the horrors of modern war had come to be fully appreciated. and when the simple identification of the national cause

, with that of Almighty God was felt

as an insidious temptation to hyp- ocrisy. men began to wonder whether the whole idea of patriot- ism was not reprehensible ad best replaced by a larger loyalty to mankind as a whole, or to the christian cnmfi as a univeraal brotherhood.

These thoughts were so widely entertained duri*g the years be- tween the wars that the Ch 1 tian communities might have found it difficult to associate themseles in any way with the late war had not the spiritual issues at stake been blatantly clear. Christianity had come to be thought of as a brake on patriotism

Yet it is difficult for a Christian who has been nurtured on the Scriptures to rule out altogether the claims of patriotic loyalty. The devotion of the chosen people’ to their land and faith is a leading theme of the Psalter. Our Lord was not ashamed.to weep over the fate of Jerusalem. st Paul was proud of his native city. and ready to be cut off from Christ for the sake of his fellow countrymen. He also had a strong sense of the divine sanction which lay behind secular authority, however wrongly that authority might exercise its powers.

The Christian, then,‘ if he follows his exemplars will not be behind others in loving his country and in valuing those features of its life which are in accord with the good fl1!’P°8ea of God; neither will he be

country's call for devoted service in war and peace.

Where he may differ from others is in his conception of the t'ue welfare of his country, and in his refusal to make the patriotic claim. as commonly understood, the final arbiter in questions of conscience and duty. He will consider the welfare of his country to lie in its fulfilment oi the role marked out (or it in God's wider purpose for

Beneath a moon beaming benignly on the white- spread stretches of countryside, and stars set above hill-tops that like lighted candies flicker and glow. March of the variable moods is about to come in like a lamb. “Can't depend too much on the hauling-—-well, after a week or two!" James remarked to Mr. A. as they chatted by the fine to- night. Mr. A. had come from his lonely house to talk with the smaller fellow, to help Jamie with his reading in preparation for his classes tomorrow -— not exactly hastening the latter, but then not allowing attention to lag so as to be named of at least one game of checkers before bed-time would chime. It is pleasant to see the admiration and respect these youngsters entertain for this man, a bit older than James in years, who in his turn and fine example can teach ihem many a virtue, and give them much wise counsel.

ried thirty years.

Time kills a feeble love, but it strengthens a great love, and there are thousands upon thousands of husbands and wives who grow more and more devoted to each other the longer they live together. During the passage of the years they have become all in all to each other and they are absolutely necessary to each other. Each has found in the other so much of goodness, so much of sweetness, so much of tender- ness and loyalty that they admire each other far more than they did

in their courting days.

MUST BE NOURISHED

Bu: love is like everything else in the world that is worth having. It has to be cherished. It has to be cared for. ed, You have to keep on feeding it if you want to keep it alive.

For A husband and wife to keep in love with each other they must make a conscious effort to keep love alive. They must keep them- selves personally attractive and they must make themselves agree- They must be pleasant to live with. And. above all,/a husband and wife who keep in love must not only keep them- selves interesting but must make life interesting to the other. must cultivate companionship and continually feed the tire of their affection with endearmerlts.

Lifelong Devotion‘ Pair Must Make Effort

Of course, a man and woman can still be in love with each other. after they have been mar-

oman. but supporting a family keeps the nose to the grindsione. so to speak, and leaves precious little time or money for promotion in other fields.

You remember that Kipling says: fastest who travels alone." and on the face of it that would be true. The average man who marries when he is young does put a load upon his back that handicaps him in shinnying up the ladder of He is tied to his job and dares not give up a poor one on the chance of getting a better one. the bachelo is. it takes all he can liy in any sort of decent comfort. so he cannot lay aside the money that is the golden key that so often unlocks the door to opportunity.

But We must consider the fact that nearly every ‘successful man's best work is done after he is married, and that few men ever really settle down to an earnest pursuit wife to support.

Likewise, we must take into consideration the power of love, and that nothing puts courage- into ll man‘s heart and strength into his gs for some woman. or to achieve things

Begonia Muliiflora is a small-

fiowering tuberous begonia which comes in very bright colours and flowers continuously, making a perfect plant for borders and for house culture. This type will do well in a sunny location, because the blooms are small they are more easily bandied than the very heavy ones.

In the days when llsloeque was the cltief Island village in this Island. the redlnea held coo- tlve for three years I white man by the name of Lawrence Poirlor.

Poirler. a local fur‘ trader’ and smith. found it profitable to trade with the Indians through their chief, Nataka Maquina. who was a dignified savage. six feet tall and well proportioned.

The dark copper-hued chief al- ways went about with legs and arms covered with red paint;' his eyebrows were shaded in black in two broad stripes, and his long black hair was done up in a high mound on the top of his head and held in place with bear‘: grease. -the whole crown being powder- ed with white down. wins his a rather ance.

Mamiled across his broad shoul- ders was the skin of ll sea otter. which reached almost to his knees and was fauened round his waist with a wide belt made from the bark of a tree. This fantastic hair-do and drms lent to the huge savage a look of nlagniflcence.

Through years of barter Poirier and the chief became quite friend- ly. ‘and while a visitor to the

Indian village the Frcnchllnan would set up a rude forge and make iron trinkets and steel

arrows for the tribe.

One day Nataka came into the forge uni. throwing down a gun whose lock had been broken. said:

"Look! Him no good."

The Frenchman. who was a bad- tempered man, called the chief‘ a liar. Nataka frowned darkly but said nothing. ‘

Two days later. when Poirier wos about to depart, the chief or- dered his warriors to seize him. In the ensuing scuffle an in- dian struck at him with a small axe. making a deep gash in his forehead, so that he fell to the ground, dazed and bleeding.

I think their popularity is due to the fact that they bloom for such 3 10118 period, over six months with good culture, and then may be rested for a few months and begin all over again. It is pos- sible to cut them into two or three bulbs after a Year or so when they become large, using the method of cutting a potato into sets.
