Phillips. The lucky dinner tic-
kets were held by Mrs. Maud
Fremlin, Mrs. Andrew Kirk-
connell and Mrs. Ben Hamilton.
This was in charge of Mrs. Wil-
liam Dodd. Mrs. Frank Raithby
I was up with the birds on
a recent post-Easter morning
intent on a rather precarious
mission, I wanted to try to re-
capture an experience. Sensible
people realize this cannot be
done and, in a way, I found
that to be true. I was not
disappointed, however, far if
I found I could not relive the
past, at least I discovered an
assurance that was completely
satisfying.
I followed the pattern of our
picnic loving family of some
years ago, picking watercress
from the brook that runs thin-
ly over a bed of pebbles at
the foot of our acreage,„ This,
I added to the golden fluff
of a chopped up hard cooked
egg 'gathered only yesteeday'
from the orange crate nest of
my neighbour's hen house. In-
to this I crumbled bits of bac-
on purchased from one of the
few remaining independent but-
chers in our area. it is home
cured with sugar by a secret
family process and as it fried
and curled, sputtered and cr-
isped over a low flame, mouth-
watering fumes permeated ev-
ery corner of the house.
Into a large tartan tote bag
I tucked the egg, bacon and
watercress sandwich, a two-
cup thermos of hot tea brewed
from Queen Mary's own blend
and a piece . of orange crumble
cake made from my grand-
mother's recipe.
The train I boarded does: not
stop often these days at my
destination. At one time the
little wooden station's plat-
form was crowded with the
youth of the nearby village
each day as the train pulled
hi for it was then the social
centre of the town where h.--
lend greeted friend and spec--
ulated on the contents of fr-
eight and mail being tossed
from the train 'to a smiling
station agent.
On this particular day a
jovial conductor .assured me he
had arranged with the engin-
eer to stop the train, even
though it usually hurried by on
its way 'to much larger com-
munities. He waved a cheery
thanked the church groUp for
their dinner and Mrs, Thomas.
Lawlor replied,
The committee iat charge of
planning for this annual event
was Mrs. Bert Craig, Mrs. Ed.
Davies and, Mrs, William Dodd.
This committee arranged to
have a photographer present
and took a picture of the group.
goedby as the train got under
way again, leaving me a lone
figure standing on the deserted
platform.
The tracks wind along thr-
ough a thickly wooded bush. .An
April wind, sighing softly, pick-
ed up the harp strings of near-
by telegraph wires playing a
melody Thoreau once described
long ago as "the poetry of the
railroad."
I walked the ties along the
road bed, around a bend out
of sight of the station until I
came to a rusty old gate hang-
ing crazily on one hinge. I
found the well - remembered
'ein elms' on a grassy slope
and sat down to watch mating
birds busily flirting and build-
ing nests in the branches wh-
ich were only just beginning
to show as feathery green.
Warblers--changing their drab
winter plumage for the gay yel-
low of a promised summer garb
—dipped and dived in a see-
saw flutter, their rather inef-
fectual little chirp blending
with the noisy caw of crows.
The early morning concoction
of bacon and eggs tasted good
and the warm tea seemed like
a tie between this moment in
a lonely spot and its early
preparation in my home kit-
chen 'on the outskirts of a well
populated town. I was trying
hard to bridge the present with
the past,
When I had finished and.
tossed the crusts of my picnic
lunch to a nervous, but bold,
red squirrel, I started in search
of the reason for my coining.
It wasn't far away. Just over
a small hummock the drift of
trilliums spread like a white
carpet at the edge of the mead-
ow. In the centre was a single
red bloom just as the bulb had
blossomed twenty years before.
On the day we first discover-
ed this phenomena of nature,
the boys' father had related
the superstition about Ontario's
native flower. He told his sons:
that it represented the Holy
Trinity, God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy
Ghost, and likewise the three
graces, Faith, Hope and Char-
ity.
The eldest son had just ex-
perienced the emotional cere-
mony of confirmation in the
faith of his fathers and he
startled his parents by saying
that the one red trillium re-
minded him of the blood of
Jesus Christ shed for us "that
