My Walk With St. Paul Yesterday, as I walked home from the synagogue after my lessons, I met Saul walking down the road through the olive grove. I ran up to him and asked if I might walk with him. He gave his consent, and we strolled down towards the docks, where he spent a lot of time. I asked him what he did in Tarsus when he was a small boy. He laughed and said, I did things much like you do. Why I remember the time your cousins, Simon and Abraham, and I went to the amphitheatre instead of to the synagogue. We watched the gladiators through a chink in the wall, till the soldiers came around the comer. We nearly flew through the air and they were right behind us, A camel train came in between us and our pursuers and we scrambled away without being caught. I assure you we never tried that again. We were punished by not being allowed to go to the first day of the fruit festival. I hope you never do that. Learn by others mistakes and it will save you a lot of misfortune. We did the same things at the synagogue as you do. We read and learned to write and studie d from the Scriptures. I remember one boy named Thomas who was subject to fits. Vie tormented him everyday for months on the way home from the synagogue. I wander where he is now, the dear fellow. I said I knew him and that he lived not far from the docks. He ' s a follower of Jesus too. H» believes that he shall be healed from his sickness. We will go and see him, said Saul.So we turned down to the south end of the docks where Thomas lived. Look, said Saul, there ' s a ship coming in. I used to spend hours down here by the docks and watch them unload the ships. I talked to a sailor who told of strange and exciting places where they had docked. I plan on going to some of those places and teach the Word of God. Tomorrow I will tell you some of the stories that the sailors told me. He healed Thomas of his disease, and we stopped far supper. Mother was worried about me, but when she found out I had been with Saul she did not punish me but said, You must bring him home for supper tomorrow night. I must go and answer the door now, far Saul is here for supper. - Pat Clemens - Peace, God ' s grace, Is sought by man; Hate, Kan ' s scourge Inflicts our times. As brother love seems lost, And evil seems to thrive Eternal Easter-tide Proves hope is still alive. -Alice Smith- To Sister Margaret Ann, SSJD. I saw A nun at prayer. As evening shadows fell- Her lips intoned an ancient psalm Alone. I left The nun at prayer. But left her not alone. For what I thought was solitude Was God. The Value of Time He who wastes time, exists; he who spends his time wisely, lives. Elaine Wilson 41

THE INDIAN OF TODAY The North American Indian has changed throughout the years of Canadian history. At one time, the Indian race was a proud and superior one. Today the average Indian has a feeling of inferiority. He is not eager to seek an education and adapt himself to a good livlihood because the reservation has given him a false security. On the reservations there are schools, churches and reliefs of food, clothing and treaty money; therefore, why should the Indian worry about a higher education in order to make a living? The red man does not have to worry about tomorrow because the reservation is his provided home. If there were no reservations., what would the Indian do ? He would have to think of tomorrow. To obtain a higher education would be his first thought. He would become eager to go out into the world. There is much pride in the red man. If only he could overcome the false security of the reservation and strive for real security in the world, he would lose his feeling of inferiority. -Mavis Brass - A Book Is adventure To near and distant lands Where adventure lurks in turning Each page. Lynn Allison Iff SURPRISE (The following was reprinted, word for word, from a composition written by Paddi Young, Grade Till ) Yesterday I received a pleasant surprise. It was around 6: 10 a.m. when I fell and hurt my arm. After breakfast the school matron took me to the hospital; there it was looked at and X-rayed. I was taken all over the place on a stretcher; I was finally taken to a room with beds in it. This was apparently a ward. I was then forced into a bed after I had told them that I couldn ' t stay because of exams at school. The nurse replied nothing and walked Sway. A few minutes later she came in and said, I ' ve a surprise for you. You ' re going to write your exams in the hospital. That was my surprise. 40
