would you see God? Look back! a thought suggested by a distin-- shed American preacher for the doubters of today. If you cannot find the Divine mind and hand in the confused happenings of tho present hour. look back over the- course of history, and you will see clearly God's hand ruling and over- ruling the doings of men in the interests ofpl-Iis Kingdom of love. 50, at the heglnning' of another war. it is wise foigus to glance E-ackward over the assets which my past has provided for the en- ...-.,,-ige of the future.

"Count your blessings. name them am-, by one"-is the refrain of Fl familiar hymn. Among these bless- pm; 1 would put first personal help- !.t.uess. or service with the heart in it. I-Ielpfulness of this type cannot be bought with money; it is the expression of a devoted spirit. It can never be mere rou- pm-, or duty just because it is re- nnired of us, so for and no farther: p gs a ministry given to persons 1-v persons; and. with the soul in ii. the outward act becomeran ertvard inspiration. In this sense it is literally true that servant with this clause

Makes drudgery divine: who sweeps a room as for 'I'hi'

laws

Makes that and the action fine."

Maria. Miliis. the servant lass who shaped the character and in- wi;-ed the career of the famous im-cl Shaftcsbury when his own mrinls were neglecting him. is a mac in point. How many families were are among us who hold ser- we of this kind among their mmcest memories!

Ilnrnensured Zeal

it is because of the number of people who count the hours and are concerned chiefly about their -mire that one recalls with such yvatiiude the service given by more who love their work for its tvn sake and offer generously the best that they can give: "Chin url. boys and give them all you've got!" was the word of an athlete to his trainees as he lined them up for it race. one lifts his hat rever- rally to the memory of men and v omen who strove by that nrecent iuough the long race of life. Never in my youthful dreams of 'he christian ministry did I ima- ere such help possible as that iiVCI1 by a capable and conscienti- ll.lS secretary to fl man wei-zhtcef v. ith responsibility, It is not mere- iv that she can do deftly many things that he can do only clums- ily. if at all. but also that her knowledge of detail suggests lines pt action which otherwise woiuri rover occur to 'him. Besides, he ran count on her readiness to case his burden by anything that she can do. Many a youth in such a ivisitfon and with such a will has made his personal service a pre- paration for posts of the highest responsibility.

For years I have worked with and have been served by church officials who have the Midas touch vfnlch turns everything they write or do into the gold of grace and :1-aciousness. Their work is usually done behind office desks and far fi'.')Il'l the people whom they serve.

selves to forget that they are deal- mg with folks who have feelings and needs which nothing external can satisfy.

The late Dr. McClure. immortal- ized by Ian Maclaren. is not dead: he lives in the physicians of this present hour who can bind up the wounds of the human heart and nund as well as heal the diseases of the body. The way in which lawyers whom I know can enter i.ito their clients' problems and advise them or plead for them with deep personal concern. opens up one of the most sacred relation- ships of life. Teachers who find themselves in what they make of their pupils stand high among the factors which have made most of us what. we are. Never do I hear the question: ”What has thou which thoutbast not received?” without being reminded that every- thing I have ever attained or ac- complished was claimed for me by parents who sacrificed daily to make their dreams for me come true. And these are only sam- ples of services offered in every enterprise of our time.

Christ The Ideal

Our thought was turned in this ciirection by a phrase in Jesus parable of the Good Shepherd The word rendered "good" in our English translation really means "beautiful", 'a word used by the Greeks to designate goodness is the higliest moral beauty." As ap- plied to Christ's "cure of souls." It means that He is not only the true shepherd but also one who fulfills the ideal in "all its attrac- tive loveliness." Let the ages testi-

for the soul is a medium through uhich a love that passes iindcr- standing reaches the hungry hearts of men. This is so marked in a feature of Christian experience that it determines the ouiiiity of all service distinctively Christian

st. Paul assumes this in the dis- tinction which he draws in this verse: "Why. one will hardly die for a righteous man though rerbaps for a good man one will durc even to die." There are some men whose intczritv cannot be questioned: they can be trusted with anything. But no one would think of going to them for sym- 1-aihy. particularly if he had made one of life's grave mistakes There are others whose goodness has such a heart duality that peo- rle under conviction of sin turn instinctively to them to be helped back to virtue.

The call of the New Year is for this spirit in our service, anti in all our relationships. We havey received it from those who went before: now pass it on to those who follow. Of course this im- lilies efficiency; justice is the only foundation on which love can build. We despitc attempts to r.luss over poor work with plaus- ible professions. But. granted fi- (lelitv and ability. and personal consideration and concern. Be- hind many a hard exterior there is a warm heart yearning for un- derstanding and sympathy.

The Passing

Scene By Observer

Leading articles, deplorlng the mutual ignorance of Canadians and Americans regarding the oth- er country. have recently appear- ed in several newspaper; and magazines. It is a subject that intrigues me for in my travels south of the border I have many times been amused and mildly shocked by the fantastic errors Americans h bour as regards Canada and ts people. Perhaps it is much the same the other way round.

some of the things Americans believe about us are so prepos- terous that I wouldn't blame any- one for calling me a jester or worse for putting them down in lliis column. Nevertheless, I re- port only the facts.

Not The Same Area

To begin with, Canada doesn't mean the same geographical area to all Americans. It all depends where you go. In New England. it means New Brunswick and Nova Scotla. but hardly ever Prince Edward Island. More about this later. Farther West. say in Michi- gan. it means Ontario. I can tell cxiyone who is interested that there are any number of univer- sitv students in the Middle West .. have never even heard of any other province. I have a suspicion

.-

that more than one professor would share the same ignorance. lair I could not actually verify ilinl.

In the "deep South". which woiild include Alabama. Mississip- ni. Georgia. and Florida (though thc other States do not always

more often than not. Toronto wiiich. of course, is exactly the. vicr: held by most Torontonians

A stracioiis old lady in Mobile was (l”ll"lllCd when I told her I hail- ed from Canada. "Whv." she said. "that. is where my dear dead hus- l:.in:t's folks came from, but I can't recall the name of the sfreci." A little gentle question- ing on my part (one has to be gentle in the Deep South) brought of the fact that her dear dead

l.tisband's ucoplc had at some time.

A noted Church dignitary in Atlanta. Georrzia. was not quite so limited in his knowledge of our C')ullll')'. "I have been practically all over Canada." he told me with pride. "It. took me more than a wick. however, for after I had been in Toronto. Montreal. and Quebec I took the boat trip down the river." I presumed he meant hie St. Lawrence. but I did not

t'nlli':”-ll? the matter.

In Utah. I think it was. a well- in-do rancher wondered why Cana- dians did not go in for cattle rais- ing. "There must be good farm land somewhere up there, if it cnuic' only be cleared." he suggest- .-ii. In Idaho a potato farmer was mined when I told him some auitc good potatoes were grown in Can- min. ''I thought 'twas too cold ii: there to grow anything". was his comment.

All this denotes first rate ignor- ance, but I think if I were to give a prize it would have to go to n. young professional man in Boston wliere. of all places, there is no excuse for ignorance of any kind. V"hcn I told him I was Canadian be congratulated me on my "good English." His understanding was that French is the mother tongue of all Canadians. And I must not

i

forget the doctor in Louisville,

Kentucky, who thought it was really too bad that all Canadian medical students had to come to the States for their training. "I

should think." he said. "they could have at least one medical school."

Regarding views on our Eng- lish-French relationship. Ameri- cans generally fall into two groups: those. like the Bostonian referred to above. who imagine all Cana- dians are of French origin, and those who are quite sure the French are a much persecuted minority. practically held 'in slav- cry by the English. Quite a num- ber believe that the only "legal" Church in Canada is the "Er!?.'lisl?" Church. I have heard this asser- tion made in righteous anger more than once. and a lady in Paim Beach. Florida. told me she iind always understood there were no Catholics anywhere in the country outside of Quebec. "They srn not allowed." was the way she. put it.

1951 An Act

1951 shows that that Federation had an active and successful year.

Presiding over the affairs of the organization at the commencement of the year was Mr. Paul Gallant of Souris as President. and per- haps ihe highlight of its year came in January when in con- junction witli the Provincial De- partment of Industry & Natural Resources the Federation played host to some 200 delegates and wives iilicnding ihe Exist Coast Fisheries Conference held at the Charlottetown Hotel on January 24-25. Arrangements for the same were very capabiy handled by a committee headed by J. E. Bur- den as Conference Chairman. with Federation Secretary A. Walthen Gaudet as Conference Secretary. From every angle the Conference
