THE DESERT OF TIME
by Beverly Mabe
I walked the timeless desert of eternity and
behold I gazed behind, and anguish fell
upon me, for it lay trackless and
unmarred.
My fading trail had vanished, carried into
nowhere by the shifting sands of Time.
And as I looked into the barren infinity
no mark of man I saw.
My quest bore me through the shelves of
time, and vainly there I searched the
printed page.
Alas, but nought I found to guide the way;
And racked and seized by pain I suffered,
Tossed and jarred, a battered hulk upon
the sea of Time.
•‘Turn Back” the cry rang out from
somewhere in Eternity.
And spread across the shoals and reefs
and unmarked waste;
It pierced my ear and bade me search no
more.
But passion-rent and filled with fury
I screamed into the voice, ‘‘It shall be
mine”.
And on I charged blindly groping in the
endless corridors
Through the dark entangled forests crying
hopelessly,
‘‘It shall be mine. It shall be mine”.
Timeless ages have I searched and cried
my cry,
But only death and anguish, sorrow found
I there;
Timeless ages have I traveled and knowing
not the object of my quest.
Then came the time to survey my journey
And with cane in hand I climbed the Rock
Shaded my eyes with withered hand and
beheld.
Before me lay my starting place.
And crumpled to my knees I saw,
I raised my voice but words came not.
It was for Thee I sought and knew it not.

soon after graduation they came to Mon

search Consultant for Billy Graham.
His work includes building up a library of
information covering a wide range of topics
for Graham’s use in his sermons.
Mr. and Mrs. Barnhouse came to Mon
treal in December, when their oldest daugh
ter, Margaret Annie, was three months old.
Having no place to live at the time, she
and her mom and dad celebrated her first
Christmas in their gaily decorated room in
the Monte Vista Hotel. However, they now

Jobs In Europe
(Vaduz, Liechtenstein, Switzerland,
November 5, 1958)
Job opportunities in Europe this sum
mer . . . Want to work this summer on a
German farm in Bavaria, at a resort in
Sweden, on the French seacoast looking
after children, on construction in the Rhine
land, on reforestation in the mountains, or
in the fishing industry of Norway?
Well, these and many other jobs in Italy,
Spain, England, and Switzerland are open
by the consent of the governments of these
countries to American university students
coming to Europe the summer of 1959.
The success of this project last summer
has caused a great deal of enthusiastic in
terest and support both in America and
Europe.
This year, the program has been expand
ed to include many more students and jobs.
American-European Student Foundation (a
non-profit organization) is offering these
jobs to students for Germany, Scandinavia,
England, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy,
and Spain. The jobs consist of forestry
work, child care work (females only), farm
work, hotel work (limited number avail
able), construction work, and some other
more qualified jobs requiring more spe
cialized training.
In most cases, the employers have es
a-Name just off of Assembly Drive. And
they now have two daughters—Margaret
Anne, who is three, and Ruth Tiffany, who
is twenty months old. Although quite
young, the children are interested in many
things. This is perhaps because their par
ents take such a sincere interest in teach
ing them. Margaret Anne especially likes
Bible stories and Beethoven’s sonatas.
The Barnhouse family has a great love
and appreciation for music. Their record
collection has in it anything from Bach
to Brubeck and is capable of providing for
them and for their frequent Montreal Col
lege visitors many hours of entertainment.
They have no special children’s records, and
the children, having been reared on good
music, recognize nd appreciate it.
As soon as you enter the Barnhouse home,
you get a good feeling inside, for the cheery
atmosphere of the fire blazing in the fire
place, the music coming from the hi-fi, and
the friendly reception that awaits you tells
you that here is a home filled with happi
ness. They possess a precious gift, for they
enjoy life, they enjoy each other, and they
are always willing to share this gift with
others. It is for this above all that we
love them and we welcome them to the
Montreal family as sponsors of the Junioi
class.
pecially requested American students.
Hence, they are particularly interested in
the student and want to make the work as
interesting as possible. They are all in
formed of the intent of the program, and
will help the student all they can in deriv
ing the most from his trip to Europe.
