The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1949-03-10, Page 9THE T1MES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH JO, 1949 The Angel Of Toil A great painter of two generat ions ago was the Scottish artist, Thomas Scott, R.S.A., who came of rugged Highland stock. One day the artist met an uncle of his in the streets of Selkirk. To th© old man an artist was a good deal of a loafer, He said to his nephew: "I suppose you would rather paint pictures than work,” The old wan wasn't try- tp be sarcastic; he Just didn’t consider painting a very respect able occupation, Yet more than twenty centur ies ago in some ancient civil izations intellectual labour was exalted and manual work de spised. The Greek Plato living in Athens and the Roman Cicero living in Rome, both expressed their contempt for handcraft workers. They considered it fit only for slaves. There has been a decided swing away from that position. Especially in newer countries such as Canada, the United States and Australia, there is not much sympathy for the man who considers himself above doing hard work. The term "working man”, is steadily becoming the proud badge of honour. One verses in the Bible is in St. Paul’s first letter to the Corin thians: “We are God’s fellow workers” (1 'Cor. 3:9 (R.V) ). Here is a stupendous statement; God is a worker. Othei* systems of religion have invariably rep resented God as. being eternally at r e s t. He is pictured as an infinite dreamer.‘It was thought that work was beneath Him, but it is the glory of the Christian creed that God himself is recog nized as a worlter. There is no greater toiler in all the universe than God, himself. What we do not recognize, however, is that the proud title ‘‘working man” must not be limited to any one section of of the most striking a For Basement Excavation see Chas. P.

LAC Crane played the wedding music. The bride wore a floor length gown of white .English brocaded satin with a sweetheart neckline and long sleeves tapering to points over the hand, ner veil was pf fine embroidered net with scalloped edge, which fejl in folds over her -gown to form a train and was held in place with tiny white flowers, She wore a string of pearls, a gift of the groom. The bridesmaid, was Miss Irene Heenan, sister of the groom. She wore a gown of ice blue silk, flooi* length, with pink and blue shoulder length veil, in place with blue flowers, corsage was iris, mums and carnations. The ushers were Arthur nan, of Cobourg, brother of .the groom, and Leo Gryba of RCAF, Centralia. ■ Following the ceremony a re ception was held at the bride's home for the immediate families. Misses Bernice and Doris Haist, of Crediton, and Mary Knightly, of London, cousins of the bride, assisted in serving. Receiving with the bridal pie were Mrs. Triebner, wore hyacinth blue, and Heenan, in black crepe, wearing a corsage of pink parna tion. Later the bridal couple left on a honeymoon for London, Toron to, and other points. The bride wore a wine shaded suit, black hat and black accessories, with a corsage of pink and baby mums. On their return they will ■reside in Exeter, Those attending the wedding were Mr, and Mrs. William Mur ray, Mrs. John Heenan, Miss Irene Heenan, Mr. George Hee nan, Mr. Arthur Heenan, Mr. and Mrs. Grant.

Edison, the in ventor, worked with such intens ity that he was often shutup in his laboratory for thirty-six hours at a stretch. The rigid concentration of authors has be come a <proverb. A book may read very smoothly and readers may think it is written with ease. On the contrary, as Mary- Roberts Rhinehart said recently, writing is very hard work; toil some in the highest degree, Tennyson’s poem: "Come into the ■ garden Maud,” was written fifty times before it gave satis faction to the author, No group of workers has ever toiled blood, sweat 'and tears than writers. Work is not a curse, it blessing. The surest proof of that is that honest labour brings a peace and contentment that the idle never know. Busy people often look forward to the time when they can retire and enjoy a well-earned rest, But those who do reach that posit ion invariably discover that they are less happy than' before. The eager zest and interest has gone, and they find that to arrive is a very dreary and disappointing experience. The great violinist, Paganini, left 'his marvelous violin to his native city of Genoa, but on the condition that it must never be played upon. This condition was unfortunate, for it is one pecul iarity of wood that as long as it is used and handled it wears but slighty, but as soon as it is discarded it begins to decay. The lovely-toned violin has be come w o r m eaten in its beautiful case, and it is value less except as a relic. The mold- ering instrument is a reminder of the truth that a life with drawn from all service to others becomes useless to God and man. Sometimes a bereavement or a sudden financial failure has made it necessary for people to work, who for years had lived in leisure, and having to carry burdens lias generally meant in creased happiness. The seeming misfortune has proven a. bless ing in disguise, and the added responsibility, the forced em ployment, has brought fresh courage, zest and hope. God has made us so that we are happiest when we know the joy of struggle, the thrill of and the interest which comes from striving rather than attain ing. We are made in His image and He is a worker.
