Go ye therefore, ana teach aH .na­ tions, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of tne Son, and of the Holy Spirit; Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever | have commanded you; and, Io, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world/” Matthew 28:15-29. DEVOTIONAL READING: 1 Peter 1:13-9. Speak, History: who are life’s vic­ tors? Unroll thy long annals and say, Are those whom the world called the victors, who won rhe success of the day? The martyrs or Nero? The Spartans who fell at Thenmopylea’s tryst, Or tne Persians and Xerxes? His judges or Socrates? Pilate or Christ? The Fact of Christ The Peter-Mark Gospel is the shortest of the four. It is divided into sixteen chapters. The total length is about twenty thousand words. Yet for six months we have been studying this Gospel without beginning to exhaust it. Further, this Gospel only tells or the earthly ministry of Jesus. Could Mark and Peter return to earth how amazed they would be at what has happened since! They would find that the cal­ enders date time from the birth of Christ! His coming was the great watershed of history. Art has gone to the gospels for themes: some of the greatest artists* nave devoted their skill to interpreting the mean­ ing and beauty of his life. Archi­ tecture adds its witness with great cathedrals and little churches built in the form of a cross in his honor. Books by the thousands are coming from the presses seeking to tell of his teaching and life. In every century poets have sought to share with others their experience of Christ Hymnwriters have brought their tributes of devotion. Music has found inspiration in the Christian story; many of the greatest orators are in ^praise, of Christ. No other religion has a Hallelujah Chorus, There has been such a missionary passion to spread the knowledge of Christ that how at least one third of the population of the whole world1 may in some sense be called Christ­ ian. There is only one real conten­ der for the leadership of mankind. It is Jesus Christ. The Great Teacher Jesus spent more time teaching than doing anything else during his public ministry. He has come to be known as the Great Teacher. He teaches other teachers how to teach. He used object lessons, pointing to the .birds and the flowers. He taught much in casual conversation; his talk was never small talk. Ofter He put his truths in brief memorable form as in the Beatitudes and say­ ings of the Sermon on the Mount His parables have become lasting literary legacies, their phrases and imagery entering into daily speech in many different lands. Much great literature would he unintelligable without a knowledge of the teach­ ing of Jesus; a novelist states that one of his characters knew all about the raw things of life—“He’d had the spongeful of hyssop against his lips.” Christ taught by his miracles many of them may be interpreted as acted parables. He used pageants too, as in his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And the sarraments which he ordained are teaching sacraments Depression Prices!! on all kinds of lumber and shingles.

The Saviour Christ was a great healer. Many came to him to be saved from their aches and pains. Salvation means health, wholesompess. jpsus restor­ ed health to the sick and has awak­ ened a passion for service to the sick It has been pithily said that those of non-Christian faith cannot even save a tooth until they have contact­ ed with those who have learned of Christ, People also came to Jesus to be saved from their sins. Here too he showed his saving power. He gave release from evil habit and brought power to achieve moral victory, He Vindicated his teaching by going to the cross in utter semshness and love for others. He is pur Saviour because he taught us to believe in the love of God, our Father in heaven. Men 'had cruel thoughts of God which caused them to live in fear. Jesus told of the God of love who cares for all, who numbers the hairs of the head and marks ’ the sparrow’s fall. He is still able to awaken this faith even in our day When “the universe has become so vast, and we have become so micro­ scopic.” “Jesus is the Saviour of the world in the sense that he is the most ade­ quate disclosure of the character of God. To see him is to see the FatheT He has made evident to all men the sacrifical, suffering #ove oif a God who so loved the world that he gave himself in the person of one dearest to him as an ultimate proof of that love. The life and deatn of Jesus are of one pattern, and not to be separ­ ated by any line which makes one more significant than the other. The sacrifical ministry or our Lord is the supreme appeal to mankind to be reconciled to God. Many of the Hebrew people would not pronounce the word for Lord and in writing, as a mark of rev­ erence, omitted the vowel points from the word. Yer mis was the very name which Jewish Christians used to express their relationship to Christ. When we use the word it means that we should give ourselves unreservedly to Christ. He is not one among others: he is supreme. A ship must have a captain. The cylinders of a car must nave a timer Mankind must have a leader upon whose shoulders the government of the world may rest. The only leader with sufficient vision and love is Christ. Jesus is the eternal Christ whose kingdom shall know no end. Our personalities develop when we hand over our lives for another Person to run; the only person cap­ able of doing this for us is Christ. All authority is to be given unto him. The t aim of modern missions has been stated thus: “To seek with people of other lands a true know­ ledge and love of God expressing in life and word what we have learned through Jesus Christ and endeavor­ ing to give effect to his spirit in the life of the world.” As his followers truly own him Lord, Christ will be­ come the Saviour of the world. Questions for Discussion 1. What is the difference between lip service and life service? 2. What does it mean to b,e saved? Is it an experience before or after death? 3. What title best expresses your thought of Christ? 4. Do we ever risk money or position to follow the teachings of Jesus? 5. Are you one of those who would be equally shocked to have Christianity either doubted or prac­ ticed. 6. What- is our answer to Christ's question: “Who say ye that I am?” ST.

SIX STUDENTS TUITION COST ABOUT $4,000,00 iStating that $4,000 of Hibbert Township’s mopey is. being “confis­ cated” for the education of pupils in other townships, Reeve John Nagle of that township gave a few brief fiery remarks at Thursday after­ noon’s session of the county council. He went further to claim that the County of Perth is takipg money from his township and giving no val­ ue in return, His statement followed a remark made ,by him that even though Hib­ bert last year .had only about six pupils attending high schools in the County, the Township paid approxi­ mately $4,000 towards the education of county pupils. Reeve Nagle pointed, too, that there is a continuation school at Dublin which houses about sixty pu­ pils. These pupils being taught at Dublin is costing the County of Perth a very great deal of money, he said, and yet the school at Dublin is get­ ting nothing whatever for doing it. He does not object to the system he said, if it were arranged so that each township pay acocrding to the num­ ber of pupils they have attending High Schools in the County. Claims Costs Excessive Reeve Nagle brought the matter of education up <by making refer­ ence to a proposition which was brought up at the Educational Con­ ference which took place here in February. This proposition was to the effect that a grant be given by the county to induce rural school trustees to see that at least a part of the work now done in High Schools be done in the rural schools. “The teaching being done in High Schools is being done at excessive costs,” he said, “whereas the teaching being done in the rural schools is done at very small cost. If the town­ ships can get their pupils educated at one-third of the cost they are now paying, why should it not be done? The money that should be left in the rural sections is being drained away each year and in this county there is a distinct grievance, and one de­ manding that something be done about it. x “Fair1 play is all that anyone can ask and I do not think there is any fair play in the maner in which the townships pay for tne education of the county pupils. In many in­ stances the outlying portions of the county are paying an enormous sum for secondary education and they have very few pupils attending high schools. Those who live in the vi­ cinity of the high schools are reap­ ing the gain, whereas, those living in the more remote townships are suf­ fering the loss.” $4,000 For Six Pupils It was at this time that Reeve Nagle introduced the matter of Hibbert paying approximately $4,- 000 for the education of about six pupils. He resorted to figures to show that this would mean paying more than $500 per pupil, whereas those townships where there are perhaps ninety pupils in attendance at. the high schools are only paying a little more than $500 per pupil. Mitchell, Milverton and Listowel educate their own students, he said and if something is not done soon Hibbert will be forced to take steps to declare that township a continu­ ation district. Reeve Nagle laid stress on the fact that it is not the wish of Hibbert township to be unfair about the matter; they merely wish to see that every rural school gets fair play. This, he said, can be accom­ plished if the rural schools will, as far as possible, educa:e their own children. In answer to a question from one of the members Reeve Nagle stated that both of the inspectors in Perth had agreed that the county council has a right to give a grant to all schools to help with secondary edu­ cation. “We already have the legislation.” he said, “to establish continuation schools In the muni­ cipality.” He added that the town­ ship of Hibbert has more than $8,- 000 in uncollected taxes. This, he said, is not the fault of the taxpay­ ers but is cause.d just by instances such as the educational problem. A motion was made at this time to take the matter into educational committee of the council for tho­ rough discussion to see What might be done about it. The engagement is announced of Ella Correja, elder daughter of Rev. and Mrs. George Watts, of GOderiqji to Rev. Lester L. Haws, B. A., of Madison, NOW Jersey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Haws, of Duluth Min. FORRESTER—-WHITE A charming June wedding took place at st.

Wood, of Santa Bar­ bara, Calif,, and formerly of Exeter, who died recently in Santa Barbara left an estate valued at $105,202. ac­ cording to an appraisement filed with the county clerk, in connection with probating the estate.

FURTHER REDUCTION A further reduction of two and. a half per cent, has been made in the salaries of collegiate teachers in Goderich. This with a previous re­ duction of five per cent., brings the total to 7i per cent, since salaries were last fixed or a saving of about $1,300, The enrollment of the school is now 304, an increase of 20 over last inspection.

FORMER EXETER DOCTOR PURSUED BY CAR BANDITS A wild 70 miles an hour automo­ bile race, with two attempts to crowd him and stop him, between a car driven by Dr. J. E. McGillicuddy, oi London, and another bearing men suspected as robbers, was reported on Monday last by the London phy­ sician. Dr. McGillicuddy was returning af­ ter midnight from Toronto, accom­ panied by his wife in his high power­ ed car, Near Beachville, he relates, a smaller machine occupied by three men drove past him and halted a distance ahead attepmting to block the road. The doctor swung his car around theirs on the grass shoulder of the road and was immediately given a hot pursuit by them. Approaching Ingersoll the second machine passed at 65 miles an hour, suddenly extinguished its lights and swerved crosswise on the road in the doctor’s path. As he slowed to avoid a collision the doors of the other car opened and two men appeared poised to jump. For the second time the doctor took the ditch to get around them and at a 70 miles an hour pace entered Ingersoll, apparently having shaken off his pursuers. However, as he continued toward London again the car re-appeared and pursued him hotly. “At 60 miles an hour they were able to catch me readily though they had a smaller car.” Dr. McG'illieud* dy told The Star. “I increased my speed and about 70 was able to get away from them, but they followed me nearly 20 miles to London at higher than mile a minute speed."
