THROUGH CHEMISTRY and Many years ago when visiting in England, I was being shown around a toy factory when my attention was. drawn to a man making doll’s eyes. It was a simple process, all he had to do was drop different coloured li- quids in four or five grooves. He himself said that a ten-year old child could do the job. When I asked him how long he had been at the same Lask he replied: ‘Thirtyeight years.’ Just imagine, working for more than :1 generation doing something which bored him to death. And there you have the greatest foe of happiness â€" stark monotony. When Madame Curie was a student living on very little, and meeting, with astonishing courage, a success- ion of reverses, she wrote a poem about the future. The student, she wrote could not dream forever in college halls: She must leave the land of science To go out and struggle for her bread On the grey roads of life. 'l‘HE [)ANGERS 0F MONOTONY She was a girl in her twenties at that time, with high spirits and great enthusiasm, but she held no illusions about the road she had to travel and she welcomed its challenge. The test of the grey roads of life â€" the monotonous roads â€" is the most trying. “Most people fall vic- tims to the tiresomness of life than to its tears,” wrote Percy Ains- worlh. “The tragedies of fife do not always occur in the storms of life. Beneath the grey skies of routine, very sad thing‘s happen.” When the element of surprise goes out of life the test of monotony be- gins and for many it dampens their religious life. As children we used to put our hands Over playmates’ eyes and cry: “Open your mouth and shut your eyes and see what somebody sends you.” And the en- joyment of such a game lay in the thrill of surprise. Half the pleasure of the Christmas season is that, be- sides giving and receiving gifts,'the ‘ J . lN-47-6 I I air of mystery and secrecy is evâ€" erywbere. Dr. Joseph Parker on-ce declared: “If we had no changes we should have no prayers." When men he- come accustomed to things, he said. they lose the sense of wonder, and soon after that the sense of rever- ence. Few take the trouble to watch a sunrise because it is so common. Men view with coniplete‘indifl‘erence nature’s most dazzling spectacles for no other reason than this â€"- they are used to them. Seed-time and summer and autumn and winter pass with such unfailing regularity that men cease to be stirred by them. Monotony has made agnostics of many men and atheits of others. It is so much easier to believe in God when life is exciting: and colorful, even if sorrow is the cause of it; God seems more real in the crisis than in the commonplace. The He- brew people rose to great heights under persecution but sagged woe- fully in less eventful days. In Gen- esis there is the story of young Ja- cob fleeing from home after he had deceived his father and wronged his brother. 'He travelled what must have been in those days a great dis- tance and then from sheer weari- ‘neSS fell asleep. God visited him in that sleep and when he awoke Jacob cried with astonishment â€"â€" with in- credulity â€" “Surely the Lord was in this place and I knew it not.” .How many times there are when, startled Iby some unusual happening, we re- ognize that God has been near â€" an unsuspected / presence â€" unsus- pected because life has become hum- drum. ’ This is an age of specialization, people labour with concentration in a narrow field and it has a bad ef- fect upon them. They get to know more and more about less and less. It is good to see people taking their work seriously, but it can be over- done. Today’s quotation is an old pro- veitb: “The only difference between a groove and a grave is the depth." AFTERNMN DR.ARCHER”WALLACE THAT’S THE WAY you want your money matters handled. That’s the way your bank handles them. Canada’s ten chartered banksâ€"competitive, efficient, privateâ€"provide for millions of customers a service unexcelled in the world. When you deposit money, cash a cheque, make a money transfer, arrange a loan, you want it done speedily, efficiently . . . and above all, confidentially. It is only natural that your bank should work that Way for you, for privacy is traditional in Canadian banking. In any case, the competition of other banks assures it. I‘HE LIBERAL.
