MARGARET STRANG TIME 1 'DR ROREDGMl IN BMWK AS PEACH • missionary Wmhes, Tends Sick, Distributes Relief unci Acts in Play (Lond,oji Advertiser) HAS* NO VARIED RIVER Dr, Margaret Strang, of Dixonviie Alta., in writing to Arthur Roberts of the Base? Line, has made- an appeal for tools with which to build • the little log church in that distant ter­ ritory in which she has been work’ iiig as a missionary doctor for the past year or so, Dr, Strang, who is ,a meds. *29 graduate of the Uni’ versify of Western Ontario, is work­ ing under the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and lias many friends’ and supporters in this district. Her busy life allows no time for bore­ dom, , ' x The letter, written on February 22, reads in part as follows; "This is a snowy day in the Peace River, It has been snowing for 24 hours and we already had quite enough of the winter blanket, in my opinion. 'Trails are heavy and tra­ velling slow—but the doctor travels just tbe same. Must go to see a patient in an hour or so and then to tea in one of the many log houses in my wide parish, I have just about 600 square" miles of territory with a scattered 1,000 to 1,200 of a population." Miss Strang rides horseback in visiting her patients, "Peace River folk have an odd habit of turning night into day, and Vice versa. I've always been a night hawk,5 but not quite to the ex­ tent they practice it up here,” the Jdofetor remarks, and then gives a feample of her daily routine. "Daylight arrives about ? o’clock. I roll out to do chores, eat break­ fast, clean and saddle my horse, pack a knapsack with medical supplies and reading matter and help a neigh­ bor solve a riddle, via., what caused all the blood on the snow at his barn door?

Business is done here at all hours, —and I got to bed at 3.30 a.m." The letter also tells of choir prac­ tice every Wednesday night with be­ tween 25 and 30 voices, directed by Miss Strang. The practices are be­ ing held in preparation for the next community night, once a month, to which "everybody and his wife, chil­ dren and dog conies out and has a good time. A varied program of choruses, solos, duets and one-act comedies-—many of them are origin­ al and all local talent. Admission five and ten cents, if you have it, otherwise nothing. Proceeds go partly toward the purchase of in­ struments for our very young, just sprouted, Dixonville orchestra and partly to cover the cost of medical supplies where people cannot pay," Dr, Strang sketches briefly her work as missionary on Sundays, with a 16-mile ride between the two appointments where she conducts church services and holds Sunday school classes. She also thanks the W.M.S, for the interest in her work and suggests that instead of provid­ ing more rugs for "the manse” that the women 'contribute tools toward the building of the log church, the timber and furniture of which is be­ ing supplied in the locality as far as possible, "I am really quite comfort­ able in my living quarters, but I would like to see the church well and truly built." Dr. Strang concludes her letter with greetings to the women of New St. James’ Church, where a new C. G. I. T. group has just been organiz­ ed and taken "Margaret Strang” as it’s name. Loose him, and let him go’’ (John 11:44.) He was raised to die again the risen Lord could say later to this same apostle John: "I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, be­ hold, I am alive for evermore, Amen and have the keys of hell (hades) and of death" (Rev, 1:18.) Mary Magdelene now had a won­ derful experience. .She gone- within the sepulchre, outside weeping. Looking saw two angels in white, I Sunday School Lesson The Times-Advocate had not but stood in, she "sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.” They asked her why she was weeping, and she answered: "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him." Turning, back she saw a man stand­ ing near and thought it was the gar­ dener. iShe pleaded with him to tell her where they had carried the body of her Lord. He spoke one word: "Mary.” Would you not like to hear your own first name spoken by the risen Lord Jesus? It was He, and she knew Him when He spoke her name. "Rabboni.” she cried out, or "Mas­ ter." And when He told her to go and say to His brethren, "I ascend unto |M|y Father, and your Father-; and to My God, and your God,” she quickly obeyed and ‘told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things unto her," The Lord never said to His dis­ ciples when He included Himself, "Our Father," but "My Father, and your Father." He alone is the etern­ ally begotten Son of the Father. Two further meetings of the risen Lord with His disciples are set forth in the rest of this marvellous chap­ ter. He came to them through clos­ ed doors' and spoke the good news: "Peace be unto you." He breathed on them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost, them. They told their Lord risen, believe, but said prints of th nails put his own fingers into the print of those nails and thrust his hand into that side—then he would believe. He was given his opportunity. Eight days later the Lord appeared to them again while Thomas was present. The Lord invited Thomas: "Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither tny hand, and thrust it into My side; and be not faithless, but believing.” And Thomas never took ‘his oppor­ tunity. To his credit he it said, he did not insist upon the test he had demanded, but cried out, brokenly and believing, “My Lord and my God.” , Did Christ rebuke Thomas for call­ ing Him God? No. He pronounced; a blessing upon His believing and worshipping disjciple. A notorous Modernist, Harry Emerson Fosdick, preached a sermon not long ago on the unthinkable topic. "The Perils of Worshipping Jesus." What does Dr. Fosdick do with this passage of Scripture? Let us take to our hearts the Eas­ ter message the Lord then spoke to His now no longer doubting disciple; "Thomas, because thou hast seen Me thou hast believed-; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” B.

(1. Cor. 15:20.) There were several women who went to the sepulchre in which Christ was buried, "upon the first day of the week . . . bringing the spices which they had prepared" (Luke 24:1) in order to care tend­ erly for the body of their beloved Friend and Lord, These women in­ cluded ‘‘Mary Magdelene and the other Mary," and Salone; but one Mary was not with them. The Scho­ field Reference Bible notes that “Mary of Bethany . . . alone of our Lord’s disciples had comprehended His thrice repeated announcement .of His coming death and resurrec­ tion," and “was not among the wo­ men who went to the sepulchre with ’intent to embalm the body of Jesus.’ 'The lesson chapter tells us of the visit of Mary Magdelene to the sep­ ulchre "early, when it was yet dark,’ and of her amazement and distress when she saw “the stone taken away from the sepulchre.” At once she ran and told Peter and John. They have taken away the Lord out sepulchre, and we know not they have laid Him.” It was a startling piece oiC . ... The two men ran together to the place of burial, and John, the young­ er, “did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.” There fol­ lows a careful description of certain details the momentous significance of which cannot be overestimated. We are told that the disciple who reached the sepulchre first stooped down, looked in, and “saw the linen clothes lying,” but did not step in­ side the rock-hewn tomb. Peter now reached the tomb and went in, “and seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about His head, not lying with the linen clothes, but drapped together in a place by it­ self.” Then John entered the tomb, “and he saw, and believed.” ■Wliat those two men saw that clay convinced them that Christ had risen from the the linen clothes and the head kin were in a form, could not possibly have been ranged by human hands or by any natural event. When the moment came for the Son of God to be rais­ ed, His body passed through those grave clothes, just as later is passed through the closed door into the room where the disciples had gather­ eel secretly for fear of tlie Jews. Plainly, the grave-clothes had taken the form of a collapsed chrysalis, ly­ ing in exactly the folds they had had when they surrounded the body of the Lord, but now fallen after the body had passed through them. This is what the two disciples ‘saw and believed.” The next verse ex­ plains that as yet they had known, or taken in, the Sicripture dead." It is important, therefore, to note the fundamental difference between our Lord’s resurrection and the ris­ ing of any others, such as Lazarus, from the dead. Lazarus, when brought back to life, did not and could not pass through his grave- clothes, but lie "came forth, bound, hand and foot, with grave-clothes: and jits face was bound about with a napkin.

TURNBULL Secretary-Treasurer Box 295, Exeter, Ontario GLADMAN & STANBURY Solicitors, Exeter the English language are two words, They are “failure” and "success”; They have much bearing on hunfan life, This truly is no guess. Success will bring us 'prosperity, Something that makes us glad; Failure will drive us down to ruin, .Something that makes us gad. Every man wants to achieve success, In whatever line it be; It wil help him to provide a home, For his wife and family, It is no harm to push ahead, Every person lias that right; All things are right if honorable, So'push with all your might. Everyone should have a purpose in life, ’Tis natural that all should work; And all should learn to help them­ selves, This duty none should shirk. ’Tis true mankind must have exer­ cise, For the body and the mind; ’Tis best to choose health ahead of wealth, ’Tis gopd to have both I find. Most folks must earn their living, At sionie work or occupation; Some people have a natural gift, To follow their choice vocation. The right man who has a fixed pur­ pose, To overcome it he proceeds; He braces his mind and set si his will, In all his thoughts, words and deeds. To loverconie any purpose, Is much like starting to school; We must begin at the foundation, Which is the natural rule. The man who’s bound to find success Must have an open mind; If he should think »ie> knows all things, Little knowledge will he find. Experience will lie your teacher, If your failings you observe; Success is sure if you do your bSst, But may require some nerve. Don’t b© too quick to blow your horn About what you’re going to do; Should it ‘he you’re not successful, Others may make fun of you. Don’t come to any conclusion, Till you give all things a trial; ’Tis alright to move along slowly, ’Tis safety ’tis well worth while. The world would be full of success­ ful men, It they’didn’t have to think; But between success and failure, “Thought” is a connecting link. Being popular is. a good asset, To bring along success; Sincerity with a pleasant smile, Will help you I confess1. Some men choose a wrong calling, They’re not adapted for it; If they don’t win easily and quickly, They lose interest and then quit. Some folks who cannot get along, Are inclined to get quite jealousy They don’t like others being praised, Who are pushing ahead quite zealous. Sncli folks are given to finding fault And often have much to say; They think they’ll bring someone to a halt, And will try to block their way. Hooting and jeering at other folks, Wont get you anywhere; The right man behind the purpose, Will surely do and dare. ■ Some men to overcome their purpose Will struggle on for years; Success is what they’re They won’t stop for sneers. Don’t think if you have ..Others will have one too; Others may know why you have fail­ ed, So may know just wlrat to do. The world is large enough for all, No one is in your way; You still have an opportunity, Of trying to win the day. Humanity always welcomes the new, Who have climbed the ladder of fains; Such men often start at the From proverty some have Greater the battle! Greater tory, I’ve often heard it said; If you’re going to be successful, , You must try and push ahead. AU honor to the successful man. Who sees his battle through.; He’ll be rewarded for his labor, This I know is really true*.
