It does not take much to signify a changed world.

CAPE ARGUS – 1939, February 20

It may be only a steadier footstep 

that tells of a hitherto drunken husband coming soberly down the street. 

It may only be a change in the voice, only a kiss. 

It was a mere olive leaf that told Noah a new world was waiting for him. 

It was only floating driftwood that told Columbus his long, dreary voyage 

was coming to an end. 

A wedding ring may not be of much value compared with other jewels, 

but its meaning is much more: 

it can tell a story of love and trust richer in its telling 

than any other of earth’s stories.” 

Lines from Sunday’s sermon
by Colonel Edward H. Joy, Congregational Church, Rondebosch.

Where can we place our children knowing that they will be properly, scientifically and judiciously cared for? 

At some time or another this problem faces most parents, when it becomes necessary through illness or travel for parents and children to be separated. It is difficult to find a place for the children that captures the home atmosphere, that does not close during holidays, and where one may leave children with the absolute assurance that they will be cared for with attention only second to that one gives them oneself. Little Guests and Big Guests of 2 years to 16 years.

THE MONTESSORI Preparatory School for Day Scholars and Boarders is the ideal place for boys and girls. There is a school attached for primary aged children, while older children attend schools in the immediate vicinity. The Principal of the MONTESSORI is MISS MARRIOTT, who has made a special study of Child Nature and Psychology, assisted by trained nurses and assistants.

More than Conquerors

CAPE ARGUS - 1939, January 28

“Never allow a failure to be your final effort; make it a stepping stone to another attempt. Accept a defeat as a challenge to your manhood, a call to a renewed endeavor, to a firmer resolution. Let it be said of you, as it was said of one of the greatest soldiers of history, ‘He profited by defeat as other men profited by victory.’” – Colonel Edward H. Joy, Congregational Church, Rondebosch

During the Great War soldiers were wont to say that it was mental agony to fight an unseen enemy. To be shot at and not to see your assailant is to be at a tremendous disadvantage; to see him face to face is to take his measure and to know how to act. In the great spiritual warfare, which goes on for your soul you realise that your foes are not flesh and blood but the spirits of wickedness, and in your constant defeat you cry, ‘Can I overcome?’ Yes, cries the Word of God. We are more than conquerors through our faith in Christ Who loved us.” – The Rev. RW Wighton, Baptist Church, Observatory
