Tiny Manuscripts
Of Rare Interest
Though the existence o; volumin-
ous Bronte juvenilia ha. long been
known to a small group, no bio-
grapher has made understanding
use of it. Mrs. Gaskell describes a
curious package confided to her
when she was compiling her Life,
ctntamintr
an immense c se a mount of
manuscript in an inconceivably
small space; tales, dramas, poems,
romances, written principally by
Charlotte, in a hand almost im-
possible to decipher without the aid
of a magnifying glass." And she
quotes the twenty-two titles listed
by Charlotte in a "Catalogue of My
Books," dated August 3, 1830, five
months after her fourteenth birth-
day. The biographer marvels at the
quantity and thinks the quality of
singular merit for a girl of thirteen
or fourteen.. ,
It is now almost, twenty years
since my interest in these diminu-
tive Bronte manuscripts was excit-
ed through one of the curious little
booklets in the Wrenn Library at
the University of Texas. It is a
small octavo of thirty-five pages
measuring 7.dx41.1 inches covered
with minute printing. , ,
My search, prolonged •o the
present time, through public and
private libraries of America and
England, has yielded astonishingly
rich returns. I have studied in orig-
inals or in copies more than a
hundred manuscripts by Charlotte
and her brother Branwell, equaling
in mass the published works of the
Bronte fancily. Nearly all of theta
are in the minute hand printing de-
scribed by Mrs, Gaskell; the earlier
ones have the appearance of printed
books varying in size from minia-
tures of 11,4 to 1% inches to small
octavos, with elaborate title -pages,
prefaces, and colophons containing
signatures and dates; their covers
are of blue, brown, or gray wrap-
ping paper, , . .
They are a closely connected ser-
ies of stories, poems, novels, his-
tories, and dramas having a com-
mon setting and common charac-
ters. written through the sixteen
years between 1829 and 1845, .. .
Even more, they are the laboratory
in which developed all the elements
that in their several combinations

To us this Sunday is eventful -
it marks the first Sunday of our
Darby and Joan existence; it is the
last Sunday of the year 00 which
we enjoy (?) daylight saving time,
and it is Partner's birthday. It is
also a very restful Sunday after a
decidedly hectic week. What frith
one thing and another we had late
nights and extra busy days all last
week so we don't mind a quiet day
at all. Not that we expected i. to be
quiet - Partner's brother and his
wife front Mattawa were supposed
to arrive but something upset their
plans so the visit has been postpon-
ed. Another brother, living in Tor-
onto, left for England last Thurs-
day, so, with Bob away up north
the Clarke family seems to be on
the move. Except us -as long as
there are cows to look after I guess
this family stays pretty well put.
* * *
Inciderntally, that of course, is
what some folk object to most in
connection with farming -that is,
farming without help. You are, as
one man put it, tied absolutely to
the cow's tails! -Which we must
admit is true. Whether .you keep
two cows or twenty the result is
the sante-you have to be there to
look after them. Milk distributors
have it arranged So that there is no
Sunday delivery of milk in the
cities -now if only the mills could
be shut off at the source how con-
venient that would be. Or would
it? Come to think of it it might not
seem such a good idea when the bi-
monthly milk cheque carne along,
* * *
Well, with all this wonderful
weather we are having it is hard to
realise that Christmas is only a few
weeks away -even though Toronto
did have its monster Santa Claus
parade yesterday. How I do enjoy
that broadcast -the bands, and the
children shouting and laughing with
excitement. That is one time when
it would be nice to have television.
I wonder if Dr, Brock Chisholm
would really want to deny children
that delightful and colourful event?
I have a feeling that most children
accept the Santa Claus phantasy for
just exactly what it is -a make-be-
lieve story that fits in with all the
colour and excitement oe the Christ-
mas season. Children are essentially
young realists and while they like to
play "Let's pretend" I doubt if
many of then. have any illusions
about Jolly Old Santa.
* * *
By the way, I wonder how many
of you people are interested in
house -plants? About ninety per.
cent, I would say! And while you
are interested in them as plants
have v
you realized what an impor-
tant
P
or-
tant part they play in social life -
how they promote friendliness and
good fellowship? One might even
say they are good social icebreak-
ers. Why do I say that? Well,
among other things, Partner was
doing a bit of canvassing last week
and I had the job of driving him
around, and at some houses I went
in with him . , . and while Partner
was talking to the man of the house
I chatted with his wife. Two of
these ladies I knew only slightly
but because they had rather un-
usual house -plants we were soon
away to a good start and ready to
talk for the rest of the afternoon.
In fact I came away with slips
and little rootless that it would
have been ungracious to refuse. The
first time Partner made no com-
ment, the second time he remarked
-"And what do you think you are
doing? Every place we call you
come away with a mysterious par-
cel." The lady of the house laughed.
"Just cacti; she explained, "any-
one interested in cacti can always
do with a few new varieties." And
isn't that true? Ey no stretch of
intar inrti n• c:;t1 r„rti be called beau-
tiful -• ext.( t't twlkm thet are in
bloom --yet their very oddity makes
theta fascinating plants to grow.
Incidentally two cacti enthusiasts
are net•: r at a lose for something
to tall. about -and you know so
many people ws ill tell you that
plants and slips given in friendship
are more likely to grow than any.
bought from a greenhouse. An-
other thing that is often bewilder-
ing -some folk cannot grow cer-
tain types of plants and yet are
successful with others. African vio-
lets, for instance, you sec them in
some houses just a mass of bloom
-in others sickly looking plants
with hardly a bloom at all, Last
time 1 was in Toronto I was leaf-
ing tthrdugh a book on growing
violets. It was $3 and quite small.
I'll go on growing my violets by
trial and error! Anyway, no two
people have the same theory. One
person I know dissolves a teaspoon
of washing soda in a quart of water
and uses it to water her violets-.
in the saucers. To promote bloom
I Lind it a good idea not to let
my plants grow too many leaves.
Have any of you people any sure-
fire ideas you would like to pass
along and share with others? If
so, drop me a line and I wilt be
glad to include your information
in this column. Who knows -as a
result your own violets might grow
better. Bread upon the waters, you
know.

LESSON
By Rey. R. B. Warren, B.A., B.D.
The Stewardship of the 'Gospel
Acts 8:4-8; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20;
Philippians 1:12-18
Memory Verse: Let a man so
account of us; as of the ministers of
Christ, and stewards of the mys-
teries of God. Moreover it is re-
quired in stewards, that a man be
found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.
A young professing Christian on
returning from a winter in the lum-
ber camp wasasked "Did thefel-
lows
1
i
lows teaseyou
v at all about being
a Christian?" "Not at all," replied
the young man, "they never found
out 1 was one." The comment may
be added, "Neither he was." 'The
mark of a Christian is that he wants
to share the gond news with others.
To see others find Jesus Christ as
their personal Saviour greatly in-
creases their own joy. Philip, a dea-
con in the church, real:zed that he
was a steward of the Gospel. When
the persecution at Jerusalem served
to scatter the Christians and send
them everywhere preaching the
Gospel, he went to Samaria. Un-
clean spirits were cast out and there
were Many miraculous healings.
"There was great ,joy in that city."
We have great responsibility.
Paul said, "We are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God (lid be-
seech you by us: we pray you in
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to
God." lVhat an intense relation.
ship!
In the last part of the lesson Paul
is writing front Monte. He is a
prisoner. But he uses the oppor-
tunity to witness ir, the palace and
other places. Some of Caesar's
household are converted. Other
Christians become 11111011 more bold.
to preach Christ. Paul says that
"the things which happened to me
have fallen out rather unto the fur-
therance of the Gospel." Yes, the
Gospel must go on. Though some
of its messengers are persecuted
and imprisoned, they must still pub-
lish the Glad Tidings. Others must
double their efforts. We are stew-
ards of the Gospel. We are only
faithful as we let others know that
Jesus Christ can save them too,
REAL SCOUTS
The three little Scouts who had
been sent out from tate meeting to
do their good deed .-- or else -
returned to report.
"I diel my good decd, sir," the
first reported to the Scoutmaster.
"1 helped an old .'lady across the
street.'
"1 helped her across, too," said
the second Scout,
"Me tool" said the third.
"13o y011 111ea11," the Scoutmaster
demanded, "that it took three of you
to !help one lady across file street?"
"Oh, yes, sir," the Scouts agreed.
"Yon see, sir, the old lads didn't
want to cross the street."
