SECTION TWO MEDIEVAL PLAY-BOY By JOHN D. McCREADY Queen Elizabeth recently made tier handsome young son, Charles, Prince of Wales, as her ancestors Have done with their eldest sons for six hundred years. it Liet us hope he will fare better than the first young man who bore that title. In the year 1284 King Edward the First, one of England’s strong est and ablest rulers, had just conquered Wales. He and his queen were sojourning-in Carnar von castle, in Wales’ northwestern corner. There, on April 24th, a son was born and given his fath er’s first name. A pretty legend later grew up that Edward the First, wishing to placate the Welsh people, pre sented his son to them at birth as their very own prince. Actually the title “Prince of Wales” was not given the boy until 1301, when he was seventeen years old. and then by act of Parliament. , Back in England rearing his son, the elder Edward tried in vjdn to Interest him in statecraft and warfare, but the boy cared fbr' nothing but recreation and certain mechanical hobbies. * His father had set his heart on the cpnquest of Scotland," and had partly carried out his design. At the old king’s death his son abandoned the enterprise and the Scots captured one after another of the strongholds his father had ■v ja» > j -i -< cj =1 {another happy home!

Shamed into action by such events, the languid king assem bled a huge army and led it northward. But at Bannockburn, on .June 24, 1314, he suffered at the hands of Robert Bruce an ut ter and disgraceful defeat. By nature irresolute of will, Edward the Second depended on a succession of personal favorites to furnish him with ideas and policies. The first of these was a knight named Piers Gavbston, whose influence on him during his father’s lifetime had been so pernicious that Edward the First banished him. The son, on reach ing the throne, recalled him, and referred to him on many matters of state. When the young mon arch went to France, to marry Isabella, daughter of the French king, Philip the Fair, he turned over the rule of the realm to Gav eston. The barons of England fi nally became’ so incensed with “Brother Piers” that they had him murdered. The next favorites of Edward were Hugh le Despenser and his son. After being of some service to the nation for a time, these two changed their ways and began heaping up wealth for themselves. At the same time the Despensers incurred the ill will of Queen Isabella, who turned against her husband also, because of his sup port of the pair. The queen kept her thoughts to herself for a time, but when in France on a visit she sent word to the king that she would not re turn unless the Despensers were removed from their positions. She was at this time forming an illicit connection with one of the men whom Edward had exiled, Roeer Mortimer. In September 1326 she and her paramour-con spirator landed in England to overthrow her husband’s regime. The king, finding 'himself for saken by his followers, fled to the estate of the younger Despenser. The queen followed, and captur ing the Despensers executed them. Edward tried to escape by sea tut was taken. In January he was foreed to re sign his kingdom to his thirteen vear-old son. He was imnrisoned in Kenilworth castle. Next he was given into the charge of two of Mortimer’s servants. They carried him from one place if im prisonment to another and heap ed on him every indiginity. Then, finding that he did not die of such mistreatment, they murder ed him on September 21, 1326. Shakespeare was thinking .of the fate of such men as this first Prince of Wales when he wrote some poignant lines. Edward the Second must often have had such reflections: “Princes have but their titles for their glories, An outward honor for an inward toil.” TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED Engagement Announced prBHK’ fill I aKß|pf; Wmk, * ■jpfjfrYF'.'

I Weekly Devotional Column 1 ByJAMEB MmKRNZIE This is the second in a series of j articles on the Holy Spirit as our ; Comforter. The office of the Holy Spirit | qualifies and enables H>m to com fort us. First of all, He is the Author of the Bible (II Peter 1:21). Would you find comfort in the sacred volume? Who bet ter to direct you to just the right passage: who better to reveal to you the deep meaning there that would speak to your heart, than the Holy Spirit? Further, He directs our pray ers, We are told to pray “in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18). Then know that “The Spirit of God . . . helps us in our present limita tions. For example, we do not know how to pray worthily as sons of God. but the Spirit with in us is actually praying for us in those agonizing longings which never find words. And God who knows the heart’s secrets, under stands. of course, the Spirit’s in tention as He prays for those who love God” (Romans 8:26, Phil lips’ translation). | In addition to this it is the of- I fice of the Holy Spirit to reveal; Christ to us. Just as the Son) reveals the Father, so the Spirit| reveals the Son. Indeed, every act of the Holy Spirit is directed toward this end. Would you find comfort in Christ? He said, “The Spirit of truth which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testi fy of me” (John 15:26). The Holy Spirit indwells every believer to reveal Christ, to em power for life and service, and to comfort. So real is His com forting presence that Jesus told His disciples, ‘T tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you” (John 16:7). We speak much of how wonderful it would be were Jesus Here with us in the flesh, and so it would; but we have it from the lips of Jesus Himself that the presence of the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, is . even more wonderful. The dis- Icjples knew Jesus intimately for three years—they lived with Him, walked with Him, ate with Him. I They had Him under close obser vation and scrutiny night and ' Continued on Page 7—Section 2 ! WITH THE FARM WOMEN By VIRGINIA M. NANCE, Extension Home Economics Editor !
