A Task To Be Done In his recent book, 'Scince Then', Philip Gibbs tries to bring home to his readers the altogether now conditions of life that have resulted following the Great War, Looking back to the days before 1914, days that seem so very far away now, he sees the great ma- jority of people walled in by nar- row enclosures of the mind, be- hind their national frontiers isolated from their neighbors and, where they were not more or less actively disliking them, not at all interested or concerned. But the war shook the whole of mankind out of its ruts and gave a dif- ferent attitude toward life in gen- eral to the whole world. A sen- tence or two in Gibbs' book are worth repeating: "The pace of the rhythm of life has been speeded up. The mind of the world is moving fast, and in half a century fram now there will be a different kind of world be- yond . one's present imagination. There may be fewer divisions be- tween races and 'nations. 'There may be greater wisdom and hap- piness for the average man and woman. Who knows?" Yes, who indeed does know? That there will be momentous changes in the next fifty years is Inevitable. The changed attitudes and feelings and understandings that have been brought about 80 down very deeply into the springs of human life and conduct, and the resulting modifications will be many and very significant. But is there a reasomable hope that the divisions and conflicts between races and nations will tend to dis- appear and the "greater wisdom and happiness" that this writer Nope do be Tealized' It is a beau- ul picture, but will w filled out? or bai Sx Not indeed unless we are will- ing to work for it and sacrifice for it. Mere change does not always imply progress, and the fact that the world will be a very different place fifty years from now is mo guarantee that it will be a very much better place. Science and mechanical invention may anni- hilate distances and make the world one great neighborhood, but a man may hate his neighbor Just as thoroughly as he hates any one else, and fear and suspicion and prejudice and ignorance may keep nations and péoples and classes at daggers drawn mo mat- ter how closely they may be re- fated tn a Bhysieal way. ether the world will be a ter place and a happier aa bate the. average man and woman will depend upon whether we are a to kill off suspicion and fi stincts of men under decent control, and buf prejudice, bring the primiy || AJ rd | kind of spiritual fellowship and brotherhood that will have vitality enough to come near to going all the way round the world. The task of making the world a better and a happier place is just the hardest task that men and women have ever set their hands to, and the person who thinks it will work itself out by some happy chance or prearranged plan is making a very great and fundamental mis- take. The Message of Spring Time Once more we are coming into the charm and beauty and fresh- ness of the springtime, It is a wonderful experience to be permit- ted to enjoy, to see God make a new world before our very eyes. We have seen it before, seen It many times, but there will be a newness, an untouched freshness about it this time that we have never seen before. Nothing that comes from His hand seems to be- come stereotyped or stale. If we had seen a thousand springtimes we would still be compelled 10 say, as we looked out upon the budding trees of a fresh May morning, that we had never seen anything like it in all our lives. The springtime is surely a type, an {illustration of the thing that God is always doing. He has a wonderful. way of making things new, And as we watch Him change the whole face of nature about us, giving beauty dnd life and charm where they had not been before, we ought to be quick to catch the lesson that He is trying to teach us by it all. The God who gives us a new day with every rising sun, whose skill makes hillsides blossom and all the trees of the fields to clap their hands, is surely opposed to staleness and monotony; He be- lleves in new worlds and freshness and cleanness and wholsesomeness and beauty everywhere. It is im- possible to think that the God whom we see at work these glori- ous spring days would condemn His children to drudgery and un- relieved toil. He who makes the very fields to smile would not have men and women sit in sor- row and sadness, And surely we can see that the God who can make springtimes cane as the master of trans-Atlantic vessel to cross the Rainville continued, was master of a ship belonging to the Canadian Pacific Line which had been one of the pioneers in shipping development. from walking with the trees, The seven sister-poplars who go softly in a line; And I think my heart is whiter for its parley with a star That trembled out at night- fall and hung above the pine.

THE ONLY KEY General Smuts, of South Africa, said recently: "In this apparently insoluble problem of black and white we have only one thing to go by---namely, Christian ethics. The fundamental principles of the Christian religion are, to my mind, the only key to the native question in Africa." After all there doesn't seem to be any other key to most of the problems that distress us today. That doesn't make our dif- ficulties easier but rather harder, for after all there is nothing hard- er, to do 'than to apply "the fun- damental principles of the Christ fan religion" to any siutation, But it is well to know of something that will work if you can only make it. A GOOD FUND The Protestant Episcopal ChJrch cf The United States has increased the minimum pension allowance to retired minister from $600 to $1,000 a year. The ministers of this Church retire at sixty-eight years, Their pension fund only rates back to 1917 but it is in very excellent condition. MASTER OF C.P.R. SHIP I5 HONORED Capt. Freer Receives Cane for Bringing in First Liner This Year Montreal, April 25.--Capt. A. Freer's feat in bringing the C.P.R. liner Duchess of Richmond into Montreal as the first vessel to cross the Atlantic in the 1931 season of navigation was recog- nized recenlty, when he was pre- sented with a gold-mounted cane by J. H. Rainville, president of the Harbor Commissioners of Montreal, and he was also con- gratulated by the Hon, Alfred Duranleau, Minister of Marine. The ceremony, which was re- corded for the talkies, took place aboard the ship. Mr. Rainville said that it af-. forded him very great pleasure to present Capt. Freer, according to an old custom of the Port of Montreal, with a gold-mounted the first ocean each season. They were par- ticularly happy this year, Mr. because he Captain is Modest Capt. Freer replied briefly and modestly. He sald that he felt very honored indeed and was very grateful to all those who had come aboard for the would always prize the trophy, he sald, ceremony. He Alderman Gilday then offered congratulations on behalf of Mayor Houde and the City of Montreal. He sald he understood was the earliest case on record for a passenger liner coming up the St. Lawrence, No doubt they had to thank Alderman Gilday the work which had been done in connection with schemes. They looked forward to the day when ships would dock all the year round in Montreal. that fit Government, continued, for the the deepening Mr. Duranleau declared how glad he was to be present as Minister of Marine and join with the Har- bor Commissioners and .the busi- ness men of the city in congratu- lating Capt. Freer upon his achievement. He offered him his best wishes for the future, Mr. Rainville three hearty cheers then called for for Capt. Freer, which were given with en- thusiasm. can do a great many other won- derful things of like kind, It may be a harder task to make men and women over in the new than to make a new world in the springtime, but there is at least a suggestion that He who can do the one can do the other. And it is quite impossible that the thought should not come to us that the God who is so careful to make d trees and fields to live again ould not be content to let men i women sink down into death should give us great hope of many things that are to be, things won- derful and glorious past any thought or imagining. It may not give us any positive proofs, for positive proofs of all the great truths that mould and shape our {ives are very hard to come at.

Bright, Brief and Beneficial {eh Sav ing Time BUND RACE IN HEAICD DESCRIBED Dr. Miguel Bustamente at Pan-American Conference Tells of Queer Malady Washington, April 25.--(C.P.) --A village of 900 people, all to- tally or partially blind, who never venture from their huts after sun- down was described by Dr. Miguel Bustamente, Mexican delegate, to the second pan-American con- ference of directors of health. The village is Tiltepec, in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, Hidden away in the mountains, it is reach- ed only by a few horse trails and has almost no contact with the outside. The malady which blinded the inhabitants is known in the medi- cal world as Onchocercocis. Tests have shown, Dr. Busta- mente said, in his speech that an insect has been found the cause of the blindness. Eradication of this insect, he added,, has given hope in the fight on the malady, of which little is known. The disease causes blindness and, in addition, sensitiveness to light, so that persons stricken with it cannot stand sunlight, it is esti- mated there are 20,000 cases in Mexico. Tiltepec,, Dr, Bustamente said, is a remote mountain valley. When Dr. Ramon Pardo went to the vil- lage recently he had difficulty in establishing contaet with the people. They speak Zapotec, an In- dian language complete in itself, They live in crude huts. There is not a school, church, a store or a public building in the village. The inhabitants grow a little corn and some sheep. - From the wool, they make simple garments. The climate is so mild that very little clothing, suffices. There being no church or civil law, there are no formal marri- ages, only mating and families. The children, Dr. Bustamente said, are not born blind but are victims of the mosquito-like insect which breeds in swift mountain streams, "It is a weird sensation," Dr. Bustamente sald, 'to see these folk, creeping from their huts at dusk to hunt their food--berries, corn, a few fruits. But the Mexi- can Government is working on the problem. The light may yet be brought to Tiltepec." SIX BILLS PASSED SENT TO SENATE Compensation Scheme for Dominion Employees Ex- tended - Ottawa, April 25--The House of Commons steped right along in most efficient fashion yesterday in dispos- ing of miscellaneous hits of legisla- tion already presented to it, advan- cing at least half a dozen measures to a point where they arc but a step from rolling and ribboning and pre- sentation to the Senate. The bill to increase the salary of the Solicitor-General from $7,000 to $10,000 was sent through third read- ing; Hon, Dr. Robert J. Manion's measure extending the compensation scheme for Dominion employees was put through committee and stands for third reading; the legislation ex- tending for two years the time given for the construction of certain Nor- thern Alberta railways was given third reading; a bill passed to facil- itate prosecution of persons operating radio receiving sets without license was passed, the effect of which is that the lack of license may be proy- ed by the affidavit of officer in charge of records; also amendment to the Ticket of Leave Act was pass- ed.
