FANNER BEES
I'm told a pound of honey
represents the concentrated
sweetness of 62,000 clover
blossoms, each containing 60
florets. To obtain this amount
of honey, the bee must make
2,700,000 visits to and from
the flowers, covering ap-
proximately 5,000,000 miles.
In the process of extracting
the honey, the bee inserts his
tiny proboscis into each
separate floret which means
he performs the operation
3,720,000 times to get enough
nectar to make one pound of
honey!
That's a lot of activity and
hard work. Yet, for all that,
the honey would spoil and go
sour if it were not for the
fanner -bees. These are the
ones who standing with their
heads lowered toward the
centre of the hive, Tan their
wings so rapidly that if you
saw them you would see only
a gray mist. They draw the
bad air out through one side
of the entrance while the pure
air is sucked in on the other
side. In short, they provide
the necessary air con-,
ditioning to keep the hive
sweet and fresh.
The great hive of our world
has many vigorous worker -
bees. But in spite of all their
hard work and valiant at-
tempts, the world is filled
with the putrid stench of
greed, sickness and despair.
Perhaps what we need most
urgently are fanner -bees to
sweeten and freshen the hive
by prayer and silence.
Glen Clark, in one of his
writings, states that silence
and prayer are two great
riches the world seems to
have and lost and desperately
needs back again.
Gandhi, the Indian
statesman and mystic,
reserved a period for
meditation and prayer every
morning and evening and
nothing interfered with it. In
addition, he set aside one day
a week for complete silen-
ce...a day of listening to God.
The day the parliamentary
commission convened hap-
pened to fall on this day of
silence. The king, the prime
minister and parliament had
to wait an entire -day to hear
Gandhi speak Because he
would not break his ap-
pointment with God.
We don't have enough
silence today. We don't have
enough stillness. We don't
have enough prayer. Why?
One of the main reasons is
that we live so fast we don't
have -time for it. With all our
inventions and labor saving
devices to save time, we have
very little of that time saved
for silence and prayer.
Quietness and stillness
always come first in
everything that has per-
manence. Jesus' 30 silent
years came before his three
years of active ministry. You
remember how he ad-
monished Martha for her
constant busyness and
praised Mary for her silent
devotion.
Clarke goes on to say,
"Quietness, if properly done,
is All. A seed, if it lets itself
fall into the ground and is
properly still does not have to
do anything else. The same
with us. If we are properly
still, God does all the rest."
The world certainly needs
worker bees, strong, active
people who are capable of
leadership but it desperately
needs fanner -bees, too,
people like you and me, who
will dedicate some of our
leisure time , in silent
meditation to pray for the
world.
It's the greatest resource
we have. •
Good character like good
soup, is usually homemade.

One Opinion
Dear Editor:
"Why Observe Lent?. .
Lent is so old that it ought to
need no explanation." (From
the Minister's Study, Feb. 24)
In view of the fact that Jesus
said that God must be wor-
shipped in spirit and in truth,
we all should at least want to
know the truth about Lent.
The earliest Christians
made very effort to stay free
from pagan customs and
practices. One may say:
"Certainly; my church does
too!" But does it? •
A reference work on pagan
worship tells us: "The forty
days' abstinence of Lent was
directly borrowed front the
Hospital
Auxiliary
The latest regular meeting
for the Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital's Auxiliary
was held on February 21, with
21 members present.
Highlights includes ap-
proval for the purchase of
new hospital equipment, such
as an ARMSTRONG ISOLET
(Incubator) and a , donation
toward up -dating the Nurses'
Library.
Some plans were also
constituted for the
Auxiliary's Penny Fair Tea to
be held on May 26th in St.
George's Parish Hall.
worship of the Babylonian
goddess." Reluctant though
church leaders may be to
admit the pagan origin of
many holidays on
Christendom's calendar, the
facts are that they originate
in paganism, and the proof
can be found in encyclopedias
and other reference books in
almost any public library.
Having learned that Lent is
of pagan origin, you will not.
be surprised that Cassianus,l
a monk of Marseilles, writings
in the fifth century said; "It
ought to be known that the
observance of the forty days
had no existence, so long as
the perfection of that
primitive church remained
inviolate." (Gieseler,. vol. II.
p. 42 note).
Humbold's Mexicqn
Researches reveals that:
Such a Lent of forty days was
held in the spring by the
Pagan Mexicans: "Three
days after the vernal equinox.
.. began a solemn fast of forty
days in honor of the sun."
(Vol. 1,p.404)
There is overwhelming
evidence as to the pagan •
(origin of Lent. There is, in
addition, clear cut 'evidence
that early Christians shunned
such pagan practices, and
that the Bible warns against
Christians taking up these
customs.
Evidently, Lent not only
(needs explanation, but it
