NOVELIST WRITES OF SUPERSTITIONS Love An Insulable Enigma as Well as Gamble Ne are only half civilized. A deal the naive savage is still in us. eason s not hold complete sway the minds of many of us, writes ery Borden in the London Daily al . . There are for each of us regions, achulova, mysterious and dark, into which we peer as frightened children: wn dark corridors, and al- ough with the help of science we he racks and are still exploring tracks of the unknown and ighting them with the lamps of knowledge, there remain close at d, in the very stuff of human life itself, experiences which come to each one of us and which we cannot understand. They defy analysis, and reason, They continue to baffle, bewilder and astound us. When we think that we re safe from them they leap on us. f we think we have grasped them, suddenly they have vanished out of our grasp, And so since they are werful, com; :lling, sudden, and incalculable, in face of them we be- come superstitious, Death is one of these mysterious experiences, com= mon to everyone of us, yet an insol- uble engima. Love is another. It is not only because love is a mysterious and unreasonable thing, but because it is such a gamble that men and women are superstitious about it. In love and in marriage the ardent and romantic person stakes his life, his youth, his self, Is it any won- der that the bride hesitates to wear green, or be married in May or on a Friday or on the thirteenth of the month? Is it surprising that she, the most reasonable of modern young wo- men, lends herself to the old-fashion- ed ways of propitating the fates? Shoes and Rice The old shoe, the rice, and all the rest of them, she has not even an idea what they mean. She does not know that the old shoe is a symbol of the authority of her husband, and that in bygone days the father gave a shoe to the bridegroom as a sign that it was now the latter's privilege to keep her in order, She simply wants these things, probably because other girls at their weddings have them, and yet, although she may be modern enough to object to the word SE --------E------ Oshawa Luggage YOUR INITIAL FREE On Suit Case or Club Bag Saywell & Son BOND ST, WEST a obey in the marriage service, she is, if she is very much in love, a little frightened and overawed, as a child in the presence of something my- steriously beautiful. It is the fashion nowadays to analyze one's emotions until no my- stery is left to any of them. We are very clever and very reasonable about love. We say it is just a trick played on us by nature to keep up the pop- ulation, We say resignedly that it cannot last, that is merely a physi- cal hunger or an illness or a dream or an illusion, or in rare cases a madness. But then when we have analyzed it and describe! its peculiarities and attributed them to very prosaic caus- es, we find that we are back where we started, and that we have not in the least explained why it is, or how it is, that this ordinary thing, whose very existence some of us deny, should be after all so extraordinary. Miracle Remains It remains a miracle and a mystery It continues to cast its magical spell, It still has the power, however. Freud may handle it, to transform the dreary world or break a man's heart. It comes when least expected, and it goes as it came. It cannot be summoned or commanded or impris- oned. It dciies the will, It knows no laws. lg is utterly capricious and un- dependable, Promises everything and guarantees nothing. It is completely intolerant of obstacles, conventions, or morality. It is a source of end- less anguish and confusion and drives men to commit innumerable follies, It is, indeed, so unnatural and so strange that it upscts the world. Al- most no one knows how to deal with it. The truth is perhaps that it is more than human, and ..at human beings do not yet understand it enough to know how to live in its company. Perhaps the bliss that it brings, when it comes is a sign, an indication of an order of experience that the human race does not yet know, Per- haps instead of being a dream and an illusion it is a herald, a warning of something everfasting and true that we so far have missed, the fair, invigorating breath of the true life that is scarcely glimpsed or breathed for a second on the earth in the sor- did, mean, weary, suffocating muddie of living. : Who can tell, who knows what it is? Read again the story of Tristan and Isolde. You may still find a gypsy to sell you a love potion for your sweetheart if you want one. But the superstition of that magic drink needs no gypsies to keep it alive, Is it to be wondered at that men are still superstitious about this amaz- ing, magical, dangerous thing? Is it not more to he wondered at that they are so little in awe of it and spend so much of their time denying its mystery? But it is only the very clev- er who do that. Simple folk know. They even secretly harbor a strange thought, Granted that love upsets the world and works: havoe with men's lives, perhaps, they say to themsel- ves, love is right and the world all wrong. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1928 CANADA RUS. TO BE ELECTION GRY Maurice Dupre, K.C., Tells Conservatives at St. Pascal Quebec, July 27.--Maurice Du- pre, K.C., addressing the Conser- vative rally at St. Pascal, Kam. ouraska, Wednesday, told his audi- ence that at the next election they will be called on to vote for the United States or for Canada. Mr. Dupre touching on the nee- essity of preventing the deseruuvs of the country districts, remarked how present immigration regula- tions were unjust as far as Cana- dians who wanted to go to other provinces were concerned, while Hon. Andre Fautreux stated that Canada had made no progress since the Liberals were in power, adding that Canadian industry and trade, instead of heing profitable, were now in the -hands of Ameri- cans. To prove this assertion, he cited paper mills, and tke whole- sale trade and chain stores. Armand Lavergne referred to the fact that the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier had been the originator of conscription, and denounced the Liberal party.

M. Drapef, secratary-treasurer, the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada en- dorses the views expressed recently with respect to immigration by the Hon. Peter Heenan, Minister of Labor. The statement follows: "In exposing the true situation respecting immigration from Great Britain to Canada the Minister of Labor, the Hon. Peter Heenan, in a statement published Tuesday has done a service not only to the peo- ple of this country but to in. tending emigrants themselves. Too long has the Canadian Government remained silent and allowea mise leading propaganda as to oppor- tunities for employment in Can- ada to be carried on without any official contradiction and especially does this apply to the 'opportuni- ties supposed to exist for miners' to develop our mineral resouruves, "The Minister's clear declara- tion that the Labor Department records show a surplus of coal miners already in Canada should definitely give the quietus to those who seek to exploit the misery of British miners by seeking to ine duce themr to migrate. to Canada only to meet with similar condi- tions of unemployment as they leave behind. "The same can be said of prac- tically every other industrial ac- tivity and the Minister of Lasur 1s to be commended for daring to speak the truth when he says: 'It would be of no benefit to either Canada or the immigrants them- selves if artisans come to our ci- ties from Britain expecting to find jobs at their trades and were leit stranded here.'

"It is to be sincerely hoped that the Minister of Labor will receive the full support of the entire Gov- ernment in his efforts to prevent interested parties from exploiting a temporary situation by flooding Canada with labor for which there is no reasonahle opportunity of employment, the ultimate result of which, as the Minister truly says, 'Can only be to impair the prestige of Canada in the eyes of residents of the Mother Country." BUNYAN'S PULPIT SCENE OF SERVICE Oak Tree 400 Years Old from Which He Preached Under the wide-spreading branches of an old oak tree, rooted 400 years into English history, there took place near Harlington (Beds) recently one ' of the most appropriate services of the Bunyan tercentenary celebrations. It was from this very tree, more than 250 years ago, that Bynyangused to preach to the dissenters when the restoration of Charles II precipitated an earlier Prayer Book crisis. The main fork of the tree--it has a girth of just over 30 feet--six feet from the ground, formed his pulpit, while his congregation sat on the ris- ing ground beside it--a natural arena. Great branches spring from the fork of the tree, leaving an almost level platform two or three feet across, while by a freak of wood growth a ledge, 30 inches high, across the front makes a convenient read- ing desk. Covenanters' Meeting There was the atmosphere of a Covenanters' meeting about this ser- vice, as hundreds of men, women and children gathered at the old oak. So surprisingly large was the throng that the majority of the open- air congregation had to stand. Climbing up into his pulpit on a ladder, the Rev. C. Bernard C. Cockett, of the Bunyan Mceting Bed- ford, conducted a service that lasted an hour. It was a wonderful setting. Over- head, the patriachial oak spread a glorious canopy of green over preach- er and congregation alike. His First Prison Before this service, another was held at Sampshill on the supposed site of the cottage where Bunyan was arrested, and still a third ser- vice later in the grounds of. Har- lington Manor House, where Bunyan was imprisoned for a might before his trial. Here is the actual room where he spent the might, and the justices' room where he faced his ac- cuser, Francis Wingate, and lord of the manor.
