Our Lord’s answer was not a ‘Yes’
or a ‘No.’ He gave John evidences.
His own credentials. He told the
■messengers to go back to John and
tell him of “Those things which ye

man is blessed who finds no cause of
The Gospels tell us that Christ’s
miracles were signs of His Messiah-
shi,p, His diety. No case of need
ever brought to Him was too much
.for Him—He healed all.
He made another tremendous
claim for Himself. God had put all
things into His hands, He said: and
no man truly knew the Son except
the Father: “neither knoweth any
man the Father, save the Sqn, and
he to whomsoever the Son will re
veal Him.”
In other words no human, being can
know God the Father excepe through
I Christ. 'Those who claim to know
God but who reject Christ or not,
and cannot, knotv Cod. This is the
plain, inescapable teaching . of the
entire New Testament. Only Diety
can reveal Diety. The night before
He died on the cross the Lord said:
“No man cometh unto the Father,
but by me” (John 14:6).
The temple at Jerusalem, sancti
fied by God Himself, was a sacred
place; yet the Lord Jesus said to the
Jews who were criticizing him: “In
this place is one greater than the
temple.” They knew He was speak
ing of Himself.
The Sabbeth day was ordained of
God. The Lord did certain things,
on the Sabbath day for which the
■ Jews criticized him sharply. “The
Son of man,” he answered, “is Lord
even of the Sabbath d'ay.”
When He cast out demons, or ev!>
spirits, the pharisees, who were now
fearing and hating Him more and
more, said: “This fellow doth not
cast out devils, but by Beezlebub the
prince of the devils.” They accused
Christ of being in league with Sa
tan. And Christ made answer in
words of such scorching condemna
tion that men have trembled who
read them, from that day to this.
First the Lord showed1 the impossi
bility and absurdity of supposing
that a man in league with Satan
would be casting out the servants oi
Satan, or evil spirits.” If Satan cast
out Satan, he is divided against him
self.” Then He described the un
pardonable sin, which is the ident
ifying of the Holy Spirt with Satan.
Any 'man who cannot see any differ
ence beteen the works of the Holy
Spirit and the works of Satan has so
hardened himself against God that
he cannot be saved. “Wherefore I
say unto you,” said the Lord, “all
manner of sin and blasphemy
be forgiven unto men; but the
phemy against the Holy Ghost
not be forgiven unto men
neither in his world, neither in the
world to come.”
When certain Jewish leaders de
manded that Christ give them a
sign, He answered that no sign
should be given to them but that of
the prophet Jonah and He declared
that as Jonah was
nights in the great
Son of Man, should
and three nights in
earth.”
The resurrection of Christ from, the
dead, in other words, declares and
authenticates His Deity. At the
same time Christ put His seal upon
Jonah’s experience as actual history
and miracle, and1 as the' Old Testa
ment type of the greatest New Tes
tament miracle. Christ’s resurrec
tion from the dead. No. wonder Sa
tan has tried to turn men against
the resurrection, or the heart of the
Gospel, by causing them to ridicule
the story of Jonah.
The last word in this chapter no
our Lord’s declaration that “who
soever shall do the will of my Father
which is in Heaven, the same is my
brother and sister and mother,” In
other words, whoever does God’s will
is Christ’s kin—for Christ is God;

He said He was God, and because of

John the Baptist, who had borne
such a courageous and uncomprom

of God and the Lamb of God, was
now cast into prison because he dar

his sin of adultery. Perhaps he ex

will in His /Second Coming. But

ANXIOUS DAYS
These are times that are giving a great many thoughtful people
a good deal of concern. War may break out any day in Europe.
If this is not a reasonable possibility, explain the presence of heav
ily armed troops on the borders of some one else’s country. If bur
densome taxation is not to be looked for in England, why Neville
Chamberlain’s announcement that there is to be no lightening or
the load of taxes1 for at least another year? Then what of those
rumors in Canada of additional taxation on the incomes and the
savings of the people? If hard times are not to be faced, what is
to be^done about the feed-shortage in this province and in other
portions of the Dominion? The sooner we face up to what is ahead
of us the better. How some men in authority have the assurance
to batten on the worker’s living passes all belief. Yet the people
delight to have it so. This Dominion can carry on without any
difficulty, provided she carries on rationally, by managing her af
fairs rationally, federaly, provincially, municipally, in business, in
„ church and private life.
********
FACE THE MUSIC
number of people with eyes1 in their heads
were not going right financially as far as
of the Dominion were concerned. These folk
provinces were discounting their future at
___________ ___i__. Farmers who knew about soil and its
possibilities pointed out the folly of devoting certain areas1 to gen
eral agriculture. Over and over again those provinces were re
minded that they were inviting ruin by undertaking certain enter
prises, such as the erection of outrageously costly public ouildings1
and undertaking educational and highway undertakings out of all
proportion to the development of the country either immediate or
prospective. Eastern Canada extended credit to the Western prov
inces to an extent that savoured of fatuity. Discretion, financially,
was thrown to the winds. When the west was spoken or written of,
outstanding orators inflated themselves to the bursting point.
Meanwhile the east was carrying the burden. Financial fools _ in
the East rushed in where business sages feared to tread. Warning
after warning was given only tO' result in the parties who urgea
caution being dubbed croakers and pessimists.
According to The .London Free Press this folly has resulted as
follows:
“British Columbia’s deficit on current account for the year
1932-33 was $2,836,377. Shortage in sinking fund of $1,440,625
and unemployment relief charges to capital expenditure of $3,648,-
407 bring the total deficit to $7,925,436. This is a painful story1
for a province whose total population is no more than the city of
Toronto. It is an intolerable situation which cannot continue.’’
Mark well these words: “It is an intolerable situation which
cannot continue.” Worse still it is a situaion that need nevei’ have
developed. Worse still, it is a situation that gives little hope of
bettering. The Free Press continues, “However, none of the other
Western provinces are in a much better position than British Colum
bia.” Well, if any of our readers are inclined to doubt tho quotations made, let them dig up a few facts. Public records are avail
able for this purpose. It is high time for Canadians to face the
stern music of these times.iLet us see, didn’t we hear some time ago language something
like this: “There is no God west of Winnipeg!”
Our suggestion?
That the West get over playing the pitiful game of politics
and give tho reins of government into hands that can use them.
This may mean, first, that the Western provinces amalgamate till
their debts are well nigh paid. 'Second, it may moan that the
provinces give over the game they have so utterly failed in, the
game of governing themselves and ask the British parliament to
appoint a government to do for them what they have so far demon
strated that they cannot do for themselves. This way we know
would be humiliating but humiliation before now has been the first
step on the way to happiness and prosperity.

ern business men, as far as the west is concerned, have extended
credit to the breaking point.

History of Sunday School
At the close of the Sunday School
on Sunday Mf. Matthew Sweitzer
read a paper on the history of Shlp-
ka Sunday School which he had
ceiyed from Mr; A. 'M-. Wilson,
Greenway which is as follows,—
In October 1887, Mr, and Mrs.
M. Wilson attended a S. S. conven
tion in London and were strongly
impressed that they should do some
definite work for the church. The
following item was taken from a
diary kept by Mrs. Wilson, Novem
ber 9th, 1887: “After prayer for
direction my husband and I started
for Shipka, where there never has
been a Sunday School or Church or
any denomination. We first went to
Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins to see if they
would let us have Sunday School m
their home and they willingly con
sented. Some suggested meeting in
the 'School House, which was then
about three-quarters of a mile south
but Mr. Wilson thought it wiser to
meet in the village as it was more
central. We then called on Mr. and
Mrs. Heitzman, Mr. I. Lamport, Mr.
Baxter and Mr. A. Dun* and urged
them all to come to Sunday School
next Sunday at 10 o’clock. Praise
God for such a thirsting for know
ledge of the Scriptures. November
13, 1887, Sunday, we drove out to
Shipka to Mr. Hawkin’s home and
found 24 present and organized a
Sunday School with the following
executive: Supt., Mr. A. Durr; sec.-

Mr. Thos. Keys, Mr. ,S. Hawkins. 1

about the

was a generous gift from one indi
vidual. Soon all felt the need of
more room for the Sunday School
as it was growing in members and
interest so they cleared the rubbish
out of the loft over Mr. S. Hawkins
blacksmith shop, put sawdust on the
floor and arranged seats of lumber
resting on blocks, while a email
stand served as a pulpit. The loft
was reached by an outside stairway

INTERESTING HOBBY
Mr. R. Grosch. chemist -with the
St. Maryg Cement Co., for a number
of years has taken a deep interest in
astronomy. Mr. Grosch makes his
own telescopes. The largest of the
telescopes has a lens of 10 £ inches
across. It took many months of
spare time in which to grind the
lens. A variation of even a million
part of an inch would be disastrous
as far as results were concerned.
Such an instrument would cost, if
purchased from an optical firm,
about $5,000, Mr. Grosch hasi five
other telescopes of varying sizes and
he is preparing to make one larger
still.
“Does Everything a
Flour Should Do”
“Adds Flavour and Character
to All Foods Baked With It!”
"Five Roses does everything a flour should do — mixes
smoothly, rises evenly, gives a nice golden brown sur
face to bread and cake and a tender white crumb, and it
adds flavour and character to all foods baked with it,”
Mrs. Dan Anger, Perth County Cake Champion in the
Five Roses Baking Contest told us . . . with 30 years
experience in the use of Five Roses to back her opinion.
And Miss Emma Buttery, Perth County Bread Cham
pion, thinks Five Roses is the best, among the many
flours on the market. "Certainly it is the only one I have
used over a long period with never a failure, and depend
able quality means a great deal,” she explained. "No one
likes to waste either time or money on poor results.”
"Five Roses is economical in another way as well,”
Miss Butte’ry pointed out, "for it gives more loaves per
bag, and more cakes and pastry too, than softer flours.
And foods made with it don’t dry out as quickly, so that
you’re not faced with ‘left-over’ problems.”
Mrs. Frank Vidler, Norfolk County Bread Champion,
began using Five Roses only a few months ago, but she
says she has been delighted with results, for "it gives such
excellent flavour, lightness and tenderness to everything!”
