There are two novels on the lib- rary shelf that deal with religion. One is by an established author and the other is a first novel by a Toronto woman. In their treat- ment of man‘s struggle in his search for God they are poles apart, but the central character in each finds truth with surety and staggering simplicity. In Grace Irwin’s “Least of All Saints,” Andrew Conning- ton has intellectual brilliance but lacks belief and humility. Bartle MacDonald, who as Father Bernard in Brysson Morrison’s “The Hid- den Fairing” was brilliant too, but believed and was humble. They both found the answer to their quest through love â€"â€" the one in the fulfillment thereof, the other in the renunciation. The ladies of this organization will receive Holy Communion in a body at the 9 o’clock Mass next Sunday morning. Brownies The Thornhill Brownies in both Packs began their meetings on Thursday, September 17. Regular meeti‘ngs will begin next week. Consider now Andrew Conning- ton in “Least of All Saints", a gifted and brilliant man of the world who decides to enter the ministry not because he believes in God but because he feels that from his intellectual superiority he can do a better job of preach- ing than most of his contempor- aries. What happens when a man does this? He can preach and preach magnificently, but what about the dying woman who called him to her bedside and begged for re-assurance and the calm of his belief. What of the Sunday that found him forced to conduct a Communion Service for the first time? The words formed stiifly on his lips, the bread and wine stuck in his throat and a dreadful, icy horror seized him. Thus he too, in his crisis, receiv- ed no succour but unlike Bartle MacDonald he had no religion to cling to, no belief and no humiliy. In his extremity he poured out his agony to the woman who loved him and through her love he found himself. Forever after the mighty surge of the words, "The Truth Shall Make You Free" upheld him just as Bartle’s eyes were opened as he remembered the words Mat- thew recorded â€" “Heaven and earth shall passaway, but my words shall not passaway.” He went from "a country school to the University at Glasgow. Here his .life was so different to any- thing he had ever known. that it was as though, once there, he were on another planet. He form- ed no friendships with his fellow students but accustomed to solitariness, was unaware of any lack â€" until he loved. Betrayed by love he fled the city and re- turning to the Highlands became a dominie of a country school. Brought up by a grimly Protestant mother who was bitterly opposed to his Grandmother’s Roman Cath- olic heritage, he gradually turned to that ancient faith. This act, in a non-conformist countryside led to banishment from his home and his school. A distinguished book “The Hid- den Fairing”. It is seldom that you find the Scottish speech used so flawlessly. It tastes sweet upon the tongue and sounds strange yet so harmonious. The story begins and ends in unsurpassed tranquil- ity. In between lies the life of the boy Bartle MacDonald, born in the Scottish Highlands, gifted with second sight, unloved in his youth, lonely in his growth to manhood but triumphant in his intellectual development. Then came the girl Effie and his shattering, agonizing tragedy. In this supreme crisis of his life the comforts and consolations of religion evaded him. He received no succour from what had refresh- ed him in the past. He felt himself ‘to be forever on the threshold, con- demned to listen to music in an- other room. Yet he clung to his religion as the one thi g that gave a pattern to his days, a set to his thoughts. And so he left his tor- tured world and became a monk â€" a teacher in a Bendictine order. There he found fulfillment and serenity. DEPT. OF HEALTH TWP. OF NORTH YORK Youth Youth is not a time of life â€"- it is a state of mind. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotionS; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by de- serting their ideals. CARL E.
