Hospital Mae Frank Grieves (nee Lillian Elliott), suffered an acute attaek of appendicitis on Saturday night and was rushed to Scott Memorial Hoe- pital, Seaforth, where she underwent an operation Sunday morning. At time of writing she is doing nicely.

It was stormy at the time and visibility was bad. • This is a beatitude to which evente Christian should paa reat deal of ettention. Just what is meant by rnereY? Aleeoe'dileg to the oxford Dictionary mercy is "Abstention from the in- fleet/ion of suftering on the part of one who hoe the light or power to inflect it" We note that there are two nouns — "right and power" This brings everyone of iis under this one of the greatest qualities of human mane, _ We are fast heading into spsing- 4iine. No matter how hard we try we ourselves cm/not keep the spring from advancing. It will show itself in a thousand ways. In school some yeare ago the eeholars were required M keep a chart shelving the things which in their minds portrayed the advance of epring. Lt was indeed very interesting the clearing of the side walk's end roads, the boys and girls playing marbles — the annual appearance of the skipping rope—ethe rolling of the hoops—the appearance ot rale May flowers the early butter- fly. One coald go on almost endless- ly, but the fact remains man cannot keep nature from showing that spring is. oii the way. We are speaking of this to show that as the springtime comes in nat- ure so with the help of God it will progress in the hearts of each one of There is no human being who un- derstands us aettea than we lolow eursaves. Others may think we are kindly disposed and even merciful but God and ourselves are the only ones who know what the motive is behind our actions, gracious and thoughtful though they may seem. Recently a member of the com- mittee who bought flowers for the Sunday Services in a church went to the florist's shop where he was ac. ,customect to snake the purehase. L the course of conversation he intim- ated that he was going to the hospital ato visa a patient and told some of the circumstances in connection with the one who was ill. When he arriv- ed at the hospital he gave the pat- ient a beautiful plant Which the flor- ist had sent. It was not in any way compuleary for the kindly dealeza in God's beautiful handwork M do that but she had in her heart the mercy and sympathy which, Jesus showed towards Mary and Martha when at Bethany He .wept with them over the death of their brother Latarus, and she wanted to follow in the footsteps of our Saviour and do what she could to make life easier for someone else. The same patient tells of many in- stances of such kindnesses whieh have been extended to her by friends a large number of whom live in the Clinton and Auburn district. Merciful people as a rule are hamar Why? Because they commend rather than condemn. We knew by ea/Per- ience that if We can praise people for what they have done rather than have to say words to them whieh we would not. like said to ourselves we feel very much better. Yet there are times when we say things even to those whom we lave which are absol- utely devoid of mercy. It •hurts not only the one •to whom we speak but dames we ourselves suffer for it perhaps even more than they do. In the gospel according to St. Luke chapter ten we have that beautiful passage. "A ceertain man went down from Jerusalem to Jerico, and fell among thieves, Which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.' Help The Red Cross LAD TEA Hutchinson Bros. Laundry Hamilton St., Goderich, Ont.

Which now of these three, thin est thou, was neighbor unto him th fell among the thieves?” What a lesson that is to us mercy. The only recognition we ha of that man is that he was a Sammi an. His name is unknown to us, b to the end of time be will be kno as a Samaritan but we do know wh a wonderful deed of mercy he pe formed. Neither the priest nor t Levite did the poor man any boli harm, they ;did not rob him of an thing that was, left to him after ti thieves had taken what they wants They just looked at him and went their' way. How cruel people can b even in this world where Christ r igns supreme. Christ places these tw men in ;the same dock with the robb ers. Right in our own district there ar those who need the same mercy a was shown by the ,Samaritan to th nan who fell among thieves. Are w on the lookout far them? It is tru that perhaps there has never been line when people were as libera with their money as they are to -da ut yet there are those who are stiff ring for material needs.

This beautiful boautitude "Blesse re the merciful, for they shall ob sin mercy" might well be written ver a picture by Sir Edward Burn It illustrates a legend of a knigh ones. entitled, 'The Merciful Knight ho, having encountered and over ome an enemy had mercy on him and eturned his armor and steed.

As he prays the ()hetet of mercy stoops 'clown from the cross and kisses Me forehead What a wonderful thought! We know that Christ accepts any act Which we do to °them in His name as done to Himself His blessing rests upon us as we try to carry out his will. In the deepest and truest sense of the word there is no mercy which we can extend to others without the help of our Saviour who is the God of mercy. What would happen to any- one of us if we did not came under that Mercy? We will have to swer that question for ourselves. How min we expect to receive any mercy from Jesus Christ? Ile came to the earth, lived a life of scorn and perseeution and finally died on the cross in order that we might have Eternal life. If we refuse to believe on Him and to accept Him as our personal Saviour have we any right to expect that He will at the Jude- reent,Day have any mercy on us? We may think we can, go our way here and when our call 'comes we will pass immediately into the happiness of the great Beyond. We are told in God's word that the thief on the cross was ecirgiyen in .the last few moments of his Earthly career we know that is true. The thief was conscious and knew what he was say- ing, and knew that Christ haa for- given Him and that His future was assured, but we do not know that eve will have one second's warning before the angel of death comes for us then where will our future be spent? 'God is a God of love but He is ,also a God of justice, amiat is for each one of us to decide wheie we will go when we leave this earth. Will Christ sent- ence us M depart from Ilixn or to come unto Him? No one else can decide that for us, and our sentence will be just what we deserve.
