He had a present- ment that he would never leave the island; that he would be buried there. He could see the poor lepers coming to meet the boat -â€"- some were frightfully scarred with sores, others were blind. in many cases a hand or a foot.had literally rotted away, and all looked sad and hope- less. When Father Damien landed there was no one there to meet him â€"there was not even a house for him to live in -â€"â€" but he lay down under a tree and spent his first night there in the open. The next day he walked ac- rOss the island and what he saw there made his heart sick. Leprosy, which is a very old diseaSe, always thrives where there is dirt and filth. Cleanli- ness is absolutely necessary in fighting it. But these lepers had very littele water and prac- tically no soap. Their huts were without ventilation and unsan- itary and all were so poor that they could not secure the cheap- est foodstuffs. The priest went into one hut after another â€" they were all alike â€"â€" there was so much filth that he could not stay more than a few minutes in any one of them. One of the first things he did was to arrange for a proper wa- ter supply for the inhabitants. They had to fetch it from a long distance on their should- ers, and the trouble involved naturally made them careless and dirty. It is not to be won- dered at that the lepers -â€" many of whom were weak from dis- ease â€"â€" brought no more water than was necessary for drinking purposes. In his walks over the island, Father Damien dis- covered a natural reservoir high up among the hills where there was always a plentiful supply of water, clear, cool and pure. He got water-pipes, and with the help of the strongest lepers, he laid the pipes down and soon the dwellers in the villages had all the water they needed for drinking and washing. It was a splendid beginning for‘ Dam- ien‘s work. One day Father Damien scald- ed his foot with boiling water. To his surprise he felt no pain whatever, there was no feeling in the limb. He went at once to the doctor who examined him. With a voice choked with sobs the doctor said: “I cannot bear to tell you the truth â€" you â€"â€" are â€"-â€"". “I understand," said the priest, “I am a leper. I have felt sure of it for a long time." Carrville School Trustees have asked permission to erect a portable school to accommo- date the lncreased number of pupils.

A visitor told him he stood a chance of being cur- ed if he would leave the island. “If that is the only condition of my being cured." he said. “I am not willing to fulfil it. I will not leave my work here." This is a description of him giv- en by one who .saw him six years after he had been strick- en: “He is now forty-nine years old â€" a thick-set, strongly- built man with black curly hair and a short beard turning gray . . . he is now a great deal dis- figured hy leprosy . . . . his forhead is swollen and rigid, the eyebrows are gone, the nose is somewhat sunk and the ears are greatly enlarged; his hands and face look uneven. and his body also shows many signs of the disease.” With him the disease spread rapidly. In February. 1889. he wrote to friends saying that only in heaven did he hope to meet them again. The second Sun- day after Easter was his last Sunday upon earth; The special Scripture lesson for that day contained the words: “I am the Good Shepherd; I lay down my life for the sheep." In a room nearby Damien was dying. It was a fitting lesson for the brave pastor who was drawing near to death. He died peacefully on April 15, 1889, after more than six- teen years among the lepers. His faith was always strong and beautiful; and seemed to in- crease as death drew near. ‘How good God is,” he whispered with what little voice he had left. He had collected much money for the sufferers during this time. but when his own end came it was found that he had so far forgotten himself that he had not even a change of linen or bedclothes. At his own request he was buried under a large pandanus tree â€" he had slept under this tree, and under its shade this noble Christian hero and saint was laid to rest. cIuunnuummumuuuuummummmmnulmmmmmm" TODAY'S QUOTATION a saying by Jesus: The Lions Street Dance held this summer cleared about $1,- 150, it was reported recently. $300 of this was voted to the Lions British Child War Vic- tims Fund. by George McNair of Jefferson North Yonge Radial profits for the month of July were $1,097.35 compared with $592.45 in July 1940.

Thus The Concise Cambridge History of English Literature describes Arnold J. Toynbee’s monumental work of six vol- umes. This does not purport to be a review of his volumes. D. C. Somervell compressed them into one, and the few remarks that follow might thus be con- sidered a review of a review. l'onnotly of Gerard Helium Work guaranteed. Free estimates Somervell's condensation was so well done that it won the whole-hearted approval of Toyn- bee. Nothing of importance has been omitted and even Toynbee's easy style has been preserved and the single vol- ume is of profound interest par- ticularly in these uneasy times. Nor does the reading thereof make us less complacent. Toyn- bee‘s philosophy of history is that nothing is static. We merge from One epoch into another almost imperceptibly. and the merging of cultures and civili- zations is so gradual that even subsequent historians do not perceive it. In all, he identifies 21 civilizations, beginning with the Egyptian before 4000 B.C. to the Western which had its beginnings about 700 AD. He views the history of man as an entity, and not segments such as English. Scandinavian, Span- ish. etc. This is a book that charms the serious reader, but if you are not historically minded. or require your history sugar- coated, read Shellabarger’s or Costain's books on our shelves, and which are, indeed, well worth your attention. There is a statement in The Study of History which brings us back on our heels with a jolt in this year of grace 1954, “when a fronteir between a more highly civilized society ceases to advance, the balance does not settle down to a stable equilibrium but inclines. with the passage of tir'ne, in the more backward society's favour". (sic RuSSia. China et a1.) Re: High Cost of Education Dear Mr. Editor: “Dear Mr. Editor" I see there is quite an agi- tation to provide schools for retarded children. Frankly, I think it is a long range scheme to fasten this expense on the taxpayers. Everyone should know that educatiOn is the largest item of expenditure in all urban muni- cipalities. Schools cannot be run on the proceeds of bake sales, etc Once they become established with the cost of de- bentures, salaries, transporta- tion, etc., there will be an outâ€" cry for the municipality to take over. We need roads, sewers, water. sidewalks, street lights and postal delivery. For too many years already the people of Doncaster have wallowed in mud on dark nights. and lived without amenities. Now we see palaces erected at $20,000 per room plus salaries and 6 per cent architect’s fees. The children spend a fraction of their time in fancy schools with Royal York toilets, then come home to sub-standard housing and pit closets. Too bad they wouldn't fix up some bake sales to get us some good drinking water and give schools a rest for a while. Decant .housing comes before frills. ' Yours truly.
