Changes Are Urged
In Pensions Aet
The Ontario government Mon
day urged that a higher level
of private earnings be allowed
old-age pensioners and that the
practice of suing estates of de
ceased pensioners be dropped.
Welfare Minister Goodfellow,
announcing that the two
posals would be made t
Dominion government, sai<
when the maximum pension
increased in 1949 from $30 to
$40 a month there was a de
crease in the amount of earnings
permitted.
Under the old $30 rate, a
pensioner could have private
earnings |ip to $240 a year ano
still get the maximum pension.
Under the $40 persion, earnings
are limited to $120. Mr. Good
fellow contends the $240 figure
should be restored to encourage
pensioners to dp all possible for
themselves,
The announcement said cost

It was a simple impressive occa

strain on the .mourners than the
long drawn-out services of for
mer years.
The Sceptic, Ernest Renan,
tells of a visit he once paid to a
cemetery. The recurrence of the
two words “born” and “died”
affected him profoundly. There
was no room to write of .what
had been achieved in between
those two events—'and perhaps,
he thought, it was of little mo
ment. But the fact of birth and
the sheer inevitabliness of death
deeply moved him—and evident
ly depressed him.
Yet some thirty centuries ago
the writer Of the Twenty-third
Psalm talked of the shadow of
death, sombre and disturbing,
but nevertheless only a shadow,
and millions have used the meta
phor he employed because it ex
pressed their own view of death.
Furthermore the Psalmist
talked of passing not into the
valley, but through it. /There was
a way out, dark and gloomy
though it might be, Probably the
writer had led frightened sheep
into some valley where daylight
was shut out, and he pitied the
terrified creatures as they hud
dled together. But soon he had
emerged with them into the
green 'pastures on the other side
of the valley. And it suggested
to him that life, not death, .was
triumphant. He would have
agreed with Whittier who wrote:
That life is ever Lord of Death,
And love can never lose its own,
This is a clear and emphatic
note of Christ’s teaching, and
here there is m charp contrast
between Christianity and the
prevailing religious Ideas of His
time. One has only to remember
the sad words of farewell utter
ed by the noble Socrates as he
to realize how utterly hopeless
was the acquiesence with which
men met death in those days.
Sometimes there was a bitter
protest against fate—and agoniz
ing’ cry of despair—hut men felt
it was in vain that they strug
gled.
Excavations in the catacombes
at Rome, as well as in the bury
ing places in the neighbourhood
of Athens, show in a striking”
way the Roman and Grecian at
titude to death. Concerning them
all it might be written, “These
all died in fear, not having re
ceived the promises, and with at
■best a faint—very faint-—tremu
lous hope that out ®f the dark
ness of the night of death some
good per chance might come to
them.” In the catacombs of
Rome one can see today the in
scriptions .written in preJChrist-
ian times with the recurrence of
such phrases as ‘Farewell, fare
well, forever farewell!” But from
the time that the first .Christians
were buried one reads the con
fident hope of resurrection, with
such promises as: “He that be-
lieveth in me, though he die, yet
shall he live.”
The lonliness of the valley im
pressed this Psalmist. There is a
sense in which all distress
finds men lonely, A French ob
server, after a visit to England,
speaking of English reserve,
said, “Every Englishman is an
Island,” There is a sense in
which that is true of all men. In
nearly every life there are times
of unutterable loneliness. There
are experiences that cannot be
shared with others. -Our sorrows
isolate us from othei* people.
That has always been accepted
as true of great men and wo
men; it is equally .true of all.
There are secrets hidden even
from those nearest and dearest.
It is especially true of the last
valley of all, It is an experience
which must be faced alone. That
explains much of the gloomy
foreboding that men have had
regarding death. And it was Jiere
that the writer used with telling
effect his idea or the shepherd’s
presence. There would be ,no
' loneliness because the Divine
Shepherd would comfort
'■ lead. “I shall fear no evil:
I thou art with me.”
