The Main Street United Church auxiliary of the W. M. S. met through the kindness of Mrs. K. J Sims in her home. It was indeed a very enjoyable gathering and at the close Mrs. Sims served a dainty luncheon. This was the first meet-' ing of the year and twenty-four were present. Mrs. (Rev.) Elliott led the opening exercises and Mrs. W. C. Pearce took charge of the business part of the meeting. Mrs Mooney, convenor of the committee with the assistance of Mrs. W. G Medd, Mrs. W, Martin and Mr. John ston carried out the interesting pro gram for the month. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the pres entation to Mrs. Johnson, of a Mem- oriam card in memory of her daughter, the late Dr. Mary John ston, who was a life member of the W. M. S. Mrs. Pearce made the pres entation and accompanied it with a few complimentary remarks in hon or of the late Dr. Johnston whom she knew from childhood and was . present at her first birthday party The next meeting is to be held the second Thursday in February at the home of Mrs. W- Martin. • 1 <RADIO NOW EMPLOYED TO REACH SCATTERED LODGE* Montreal, January—It is reported that radio has been employed for the first time by a fraternal organiza tion to address members of the Order scattered over an area where per sonal visits to each Lodge would re quire a considerable lengt'h of time A convention of leaders of the Inde pendent Order of Oddfellows in the Maritime Provinces and Newfound land gathered in Moncton recently and the speaker’s remarks were ad dres >ed to Lodges throughout the district through radio station CNRA of the Canadian National Railways and a network comprised of radic station in the Maritimes.

He comes, the broken hearts, to bind The bleeding souls to cure; And with the treasures of His grace To enrich the humble poor. How News Spreads, 1, 2 One of the triumphs, of modern science is- the rapidity with which news is gathered from the four cor ners of the earth. Formerly it was considered a marvel that, at the breakfast table, the morning papers would bring news of events in South America, Russia, or Japan. But now the. radio gives a news summary of the day before midnight, and Jis teners-in have the great events of the world before they ,go to bed. With telegraph systems and wireless the whole world is. encircled by a news gathering agency. In ancient 'days though this news spreading agency was lacking, the desire to hear news and to tell news was very strong Missionaries in the jungles of Africa have been surprised at the rapidity with which news could spread, re layed from village to village by word of mouth or signals. “Grape vine radio” can be marvelously speedy. When Jesus entered the village of Capernaum it was noised about that he was in Peter’s house and a great crowd gathered that filled the streets as well as the Depression Prices!! on all kinds of lumber and shingles.

The fame of what He had done on a previous visit made the people in Capernaum eager to see and hear Him again. The Erlends, 3 Though they did not know it the four friends, of the man sipk of the palsy gained immortal fame when they carried the suffering neighbor Up the stairs, dug a hole in the root and let the sick man down before Jesus. 'The names of these four men are unknown. Which one of them was the leader, who suggested this unconventional procedure, their happiness when their device succeed ed—none of the details are given but the beauty of their active friend ship stands -out -clearly. With us relief work is highly or ganized. There is a Medicial Health Officer to protect against -contagious di leases and to see that drinking water is pure. District nurses, and school nurses are employed. Hospit als are kept up by public subscrip tions. Neighborhood workers, pre vent overlapping in gifts, Coimmun- ity Federations unite to make one appeal for funds. During years of depression iXrov/ineial' governments and tlie odominion government have organized relief work on a national scale. Churches also have : hipped carloads of food and clothing. In an emergency this vast and compli cated organization is necessary, but it is es -ential that the spirit of the four friends enter into the admin istrations of relief. When people arc suffering acutely from want or sick- ne. 's, human friendship is as assen- tial as direct relief. The Patient, 4, 5 Little is told us about this pa tient except that his disease wa?, the palsy. How long he had suffered and what was the cause -of his dis ease we do not know. 1-Ie had lost his sense of independence, had be come a burden upon his friends, and he was a financial liability upon the community. Estimates may be mads as to the public loss of -each sick person, but no one can estimate the amount of personal anguish the suf ferer -endures. (Je^usi did not (re gard this patient primarily from r medical point of view. “Son, thy sins,’ these were the startling words which Jesus uttered. The cure of soul was more imperative than the cure of-body. He did not lead up to the great announcement, but with complete confidence asserted, "Son thy sins be forgiven thee.” How well Jems knew the human heart! Spir itual sickness may be more deeply rooted than physical disease. Jesus offered forgiveness first and healing second to this man sick with the palsy. The Critics, 6, 7 'Certain of the scribes- were in the audience, and they “dialogued in their hearts.” They thought that It wa..i blasphemy for Jesus to speak .of forgiveness, and that he was usurping the power of God. .Tesu1 who had been so sensitive to the need of the palsied man was equal ly sensitive to the adverse menta’ ■attitude of the scribes. The scribes- of course, could neither heal the man nor overcome his sin whereas Jesus was able to do both. The scribes were more concerned about theological niceties than helping a human .sufferer. It wuld have been very easy for Jesuu to show that his critics were powerless to- help. Al ways it is true that criticism is eas ier than art. The Saviour, 8, 12 iThis healing incident was an in terlude. Jesus was teaching in Ca pernaum when he was ,rudely inter rupted by the sick man being let down through the roof and by the opposition of the scribes. After the incident he went back to the sea side and taught. Plainly Jesus at tached greater importance to His attaching ministry than his healing ministry, but he was always ready to respond to the appeal, of need He demonstrated his power to for give souls by his power to restore a palsied man. If he could do- the one, it was proof that he could de the other. Which has the greatei ta*ik, the doctor or the minister? Their services have been divided though they are in reality co-work ers and each may help the other This incident indicates that the cure of the spiritual malady may often be necessary as a precursor of the cure of the physical disease. There are millions of health seekers. Doc tors’ offices, hospitals, healing springs are crowded. Much fewer in number are tho-'ie who are seeking the more radical remedy of forgive ness for sin. Yet this is the su preme boon which Jesus offers. For giveness is free, and it may be -won by repentance, faith and a changed life. The witness of this healed man in Capernaum was not so much that he had to be carried in and was able to walk home, but that a new peace a lasting and a permanent .love , oi goodness were 11U ever afterward. Questions and Discussion 1. Whose responsibility would it be to repair that roof? 2. Han religion become too oon ventional? 3. What are the advantages and disadvantages -of organised relief? 4. How do you account for Christ’s compassion toward the sick and sin ful? ♦ I H r t A M tH i IMLSA U VOCA f£THURSDAY, JANUARY HO, 1033 Enjoy This Finer Quality Bet us see.

Many wise men see in them a dash of paternalism, a weakening of private initiative, a devitalising of business and a flavour' of asking one man to pay another man’s shot. In all such schemes there is a grave tendency to give the reward to the wrong person, day when “Safety First” has precedence over the spirit prise. It’s an ill of enter- The rightness of a practice is not determined by the its vogue. We recall the saying of the Dutchman who beam in his barn, “Mine fodder bumpt his het on dot peam efrey tay lie lif. Vot vas good enuf for mine fodder is goot enuf for me.” We have heard, too, of the parson whose epitaph read: “Habit with him was all the test of truth: “It must be right—I’ve done it from my youth,” length of said of a 9 « THE ECONOMIC CONFERENCE During the present year representatives of the nations of the world will meet to consider how economic ills of the world may be lessen ed if not cured. That there is need for such a conference all admit If the nations of the world will not work together theyjmust perish together. That is as- plain as day. Already we have -seen the folly of nations working against each other. The policy of selfishness as exemplified by high tariffs has brought about a stalemate. On the other hand the world has found out that system of onesided free trade is economic folly. Britain adopted the system of tariffs only when she saw that protectionist countries were using their tariff walls for her ruin. John Bull saw that he was asked to he almoner of the world, As a reward for his good nature he was left holding the bag. Even he could not stay in the game when his opponent insisted on playing “Heads I win; tails you lose.” He- adopted the tariff wall that he might show the world that freer trade was t-he only method' whereby good times may be brought about. His tariff was his weapon for that purpose. On the other hand, the United States has discovered the folly of isolation. Instead of her tariff walls being her bulwark in a poverty stricken world, they have proven as useless for that work as if built of mist. If the United States could not propser under a policy of protection, in times of prosperity, no other nation may hope to succeed when gaunt warn stalks every national capital. The sooner all restrictions hindering trade are removed the better. But note the word “all.” The movement must be general. It is high time that this fact was re cognized and that parliamentarians and public men stopped talking with their tongues in their cheeks. To turn one’s face towards a better day and still to play the partisan is to join the ranks of the fools and blind. Unless this principle is recognized sundry the World Conference will prove a failure. « * * - * » » by all and used the fol.- of 'hard work But I think we In his New Year’s message Mr. Stanley Baldwin lowing tempered language: “The year to which’we say good-bye has been one and struggle for all, and of hardship for too many, have been sustained in it by the thought that we were pressing for ward along the right road, that we were making real progress, and that here and there glimpses of better things ahead could be dis cerned. It is my very earnest hope that in the year 1933 our coun try as a whole may -receive some of the rewards which t)he efforts of its people deserve, and that all those who may read these lines may enjoy during the year both personal happiness and prosperity. Let us go on facing our tasks determined to finish them.” In his message the Archbiship of Canterbury said: “It was in the dark that last night the Old year died and the New Year was born. Truly darkness covers the earth. The clouds still hang heavy over the whole of the world. In our Own land they seem to be breaking, but they are not yet lifted. How shall we as a people meet this, new year with all that it may bring? ' Please God it will be with steady endurance and -resolute courage. These are great qualities, but they are also grim. If they are to sustain us they must themselves, be sustained by the light of hope. And this light of hope must be more trustworthy than a mere wish or vague expectation that better times may come. It must be seen shining not apart from, but in th every midst of, the darkness.” The Archbishop declared that the spirit of selfish nationalism had led into the valley of trouble. The way out must be by sub stituting for national selfishness international fellowship. He ap pealed for personal service. ♦ **♦**» FOLLY This tiling of paralelling has gone too far, not only in the Unit ed States, but in Canada. In the United States the government lias paralelled the private laundry' business of her citizens. And what she has done in this activity she has done in hundreds- of other in stances. That is, she taxes her citizens wh-o.' are carrying on a busi ness to pay for business that she is carrying on herself. Slie exploits the men who pay the taxes to keep ’her government going by robbing her own citizens of their legitimate income. The -same thing is done in Canada. As soon as a man or a -company get a business running that is likely to prove of value to the community, there i$ a tendency for the government to- take that business over at the point where private enterprise made it a success. Buch a way of doing things is sure to- bring about disaster. The church has fallen into the same blunder. Instead of keeping to her own work, she opens gymnasiums and swimming pools and such recreational af fails in opposition to the Y.M.C.A. or the school. In sJme cases she seems to be keeping up hospitals long after the hospital should have- come under municipal management. The result is that, work of this sort lias to be-twice paid for. The biggest folly of this sort is exemplified in the muddle Of the railways of the- Do-mniion. Long before the- railways already constructed were paying concerns, the country rushed into tremen- do-JS expenditure for other railroads, with the resulting mess of the present hour. Hundreds of miles -of railroad run parallel to each other. Hundreds of miles of those railroads never have and never will pay their way. Yet these lines of railway are being paralleled by cement highways. These in turn are being paralleled by air routes. And so the folly goes on because people allow themselves to be befuddled by the -strong arm salesmen of church and state. Partisanship and sectarianism and ballyhoo have wrought this good ly land a deal of harm. When the folk learn to help themselves we’ll move faster than when the uplifter is allowed to- get in his crafty but very expensive handiwork. / JAMES ST. W. M. S.
