Children love its delicious flavor. Geo. Elliott, Clinton, Unanimous Choice at Conservativeconvention ------------------------------1— •George H. Elliott, warden of Hur-. up to every Conservative to get busy r, 4,. .... . . . an(J assure Mr. Elliott’s election. “We are near the dawn of a new prosperity” the minister of public welfare said. This is to be seen in the increased carloading and bank clearances. Commodity prices are rising and there is a hum of indust ry again in the land. However rich Canada is in natural resources she could never have hoped to escape the tidal wave which swept across the world. The encouraging note was the manner in which Canada had weath ered the storm better than any other nation in the world. Instead of yield ing to despair Canadians have shown the whole world how she valued her great heritage. Only yesterday, the speaker stat ed, he had received from the Minis ter of Agriculture (Hon. T. L. Ken nedy) a most encouraging report on Canadian exports of agricultural products showing the gains that had been made as a result of the Ot tawa conference agreements. ,F|0r the period of a little less than a year, ending October last since the great increases had been shown in the ex ports of may lines of agriculture and the minister gave a list of these. Ex ports of fresh apples had gained 19 per cent.; canned fruit 129 per cent; dried apples 273 per cent.; wheat flour 2|3> per cent.; tobacco leaf 49 per cent; cattle 119 per cent.; bacon and hams 3 8 per cent.; poultry per cent; condensed milk 87 cent. on County, was the unanimous choice of a largely attended and enthusias tic 'Conservatives convention at Hen- Stll on Wednesday afternoon of last week to contest the riding of South Huron in the approaching provincial election. The unanimity behind the choice was indicated by the fact that there were not even the usual honor ary nominations. In the last general election Mr. "Elliott contested the South Huron riding with W. G. Medd, Progressive the sitting member, and was ed by only 32 votes. “We are not going to the on promises.” declared Hon. Martin, minister of public welfare, who was the principal speaker of the occasion. “We are going to the people on our record and it is a record of which we are proud. I know of no country in the world which has done more or as much in the matter of looking after those who have suffered as a result of the past four years of financial stress. And in spite of shattered revenues, with recepits down in every depart ment the governmet has maintained its public services 100 per cent, and now faces the electorate not with a §15,1000,000 deficit as did the gov ernment of which Mr. Harry Nixon, was a member but with a balanced .budget and a surplus of nearly halt a million dollars. I believe that this is a record of government in difficult . times wh’ch k unprecedented.” An answer to the criticism iof the Imperial 'Conference trade agree ments was given by Col. H. B. Coombe of Clinton President of the (South Huron Conservative Associa tion who presided over the meeting Col. Coombe is head of one of the oldest knitting companies in 'Canada and he declared emphatically that the firm had put on six representa tives outside Canada solely as a re sult of the conference agreements, the factory was running night and day and it was all due to the suc cessful negotations of Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett. Short Campaign Brief addresses were given by the candidate, Mr. Elliott and E. R. Den- riis, secretary of the Western Ontario Conservative Association. Mr. Elliott pointed out that if Re himself and the workers had put a little more ■effort behind the campaign in 19 29 the result would have have been dif ferent and they were going to make sure that such a condition didn’t oc cur again. He assured the conven tion that he was going to take his coat off and get into the campaign at once as it looked as though it would be a short one. He knew that if the organization would get behind him that there would be no doubt as to the result. , Mr. Martin declared that the Tid ing was fortunate in having available a man of the calibre of Mr. Elliott. It was going to be a strenuous campaign and the work must not all be left to Mr. Elliott and the executive. It was defeat- people W. G. 204 per Opposition Divided The opposition was a force dividea against itself, Mr. Martin pointed out. Mr. Sinclair, the former House leader of the Liberal party had fav oured co-operation with the govern ment on constructive measures, dur ing the difficult times during which the nation was passing just as Ram say McDonald had done. Because of Mr. Sinclair’ ideas of statesmanship, rising about petty partisanship, off came his head and Dr. McQuibban occupied the seat immediately to the left of the speaker. A little further along was Mr. Nixon, lieutenant of Mr. Hepburn. When any one ques tion arose on which the opposition stood neither Mr. Nixon was just sure who should do the talking. “The last vote of the session in the House was an indication of the position of the Liberal Party in On tario” asserted Mr. '.Martin. It was on the matter of amending the Liq uor Control Act. There arose a situ ation rarely seen. We saw 11 of the opposition, led by Mr. Nixon voting with the government and nine un der the leadership of Dr. McQuibban voting against the government. It was a tragic situation.” The minister of welfare then turn ed to the remarkable letter sent by the Rev. Ben 'Spence to Mr. Nixon on the day following the vote on the bill to amend the liquor act. It said that his position on the question was wrong but congratulated him on his heroic stand. This was to Mr. Nix- Dr. McQuibban nor u (**-»*!ROI AN HOUR! lights Instantly!

The night of the vote the speaker congratulated Dr. McQuib ban on the fact that he had refused to yield his principles and bow down to the dictates of Mitchell F. Hep burn. Unify of Forces “This disruption in the the Liberals is in decided to the unity consisting in the Con servative Party,” asserted Mr. Mar tin. The unity is such as has rarely if ever been known. This is a critical hour in our history and this is no time to undermine sound and proven government. The need is for men with constructive ideas who are ready to bend every energy to the upbuilding of citizenship and this has always been the ideal of Conservative Party, The minister then went <on to what the Government had been ex pending in free services to make for a better citizenship. The total cost of these free services had been $123,000.000> last year and they were worth every cent of it. Too. the money had been spent carefully. “I challenge Mitchell Hepburn to say that he would spend a dollar less for these services,” said Mr. Martin. “Most of the expenditures made by the government were made because the people have demanded the ex penditure and the expenditures have resulted in -the well-being of the citizenship.” Compares Cost IMr. Hepburn and Mr. Nixon had asked why with a welfare depart ment there should be commissions to operate such work as old age pen sions and mothers’ allowances, the speaker pointed out. In answer he compared the cost of administration of these commissions under the pres ent government a compared with the cost under the Drury government in which Mr. Nixon was a cabinet min ister. In the case of mothers’ allow ances the cost had been 1'0.06 per cent, under the Drury administration and 2.91 per cent, under the present Government. “There is not a business house in the country that is handling its busi ness more efficiently than the Prov ince of Ontario,” the minister of , welfare asserted, “and when it comes • to practising economy this Govern- .< ment might be a good example fors j a good many industrial concerns. h “Premier Henry has not recom mended that relief increased 215' per cent,” he continued, “due to the in creased living costs.” Industry may come back rapidly but it will be some time before we can halt our elief expenditures. Like Abraham Lincoln, Premier Henry has always been for govern ment by. of and for the people, and there was no one who could place a finger on a jot or title of corrup tion nor maladministration by the present government. Thinking people would see to it that a Goverment which had brought the Province through the storm into safe waters would again return to the helm. ranks of contract the show 1 r IS YEARS AGO Mr. John Mallett and son Kenneth of London, visited here Thursday last.

(Acts 20:35b.) 'Can any human being in his own strength keep the Ten Command ments? He may be inclined to an swer “yes”. We can keep from ^stealing, from killing, from adult- ’ery, from bearing false witness against a neighbor; we can honor our mother and father and remem ber the Sabbath day to keep it holy. But what about the first command ment, “Thou shalt have no other gods before iM'e”? “Gods” does not mean merely images of wood, stone or metal; it means interests of any sort that come before God in our life, And even the commandment against murder and adultery; we can keep from the outward act, but the Lord Jesus said, in the Sermon on the Mount, that hate or lust in the heart, without any outward act is really breaking those command ments. A wealthy, moral, righteous young man of high ideals came to the Lord and asked, “What good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” “Keep the commandments,” an swered the-ILord. “Which?” asked the young man. The Lord mentioned some of those we have just noted. And the young man said compla cently: “All these things have I kept rom my youth up; what lack I yet?” The young man’s answer made one thing plain; he was not satisfied. He was conscious of a real and deep lack in his spiritual life. He had no before between go let life. can and assurance of salvation, of eternal life Was there a touch of loving satire in the Lord’s quiet advice to him, just “keep the commandments”? The Lord knew, with His perfect and di vine -wisdom, that no man can keep the commandments; that keeping them requires a miraculous spiritual power, God's own life, which is eter nal life. Only the Son of God Him self, received by faith as 'Saviour, can give that life to any one. But the Lord patiently continued with a further test. “If thou wilt be perfect”—that is, if you would really go the whole way in this matter— “go and esll what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow Me.” Did the young man say again, glib ly. “Oh, I have done all that”? Far from it. ,He made no answer at first Then he gave his answer. "But when the young man heard that saying, he went away .sorrowful; for he had (great possessions.” His wordless answer showed that he had not Wept the first command ment. He had another god God. If he must choose letting his “great possessions” and letting God go, he would God go—and his hope of eternal He might well be sorrowful. Does this mean that no one have great earthly possessions be saved? No; but it does mean that no one can truly ‘follow Christ’ except by putting Christ in first place surrendering life and possessions to Christ completely and uncondition ally and forever. When a man does what the Lord may ask him, as he asked this rich youg man actually to give away his possessions. On the other hand, the Lord may tell him to keep his possessions and use them as a steward in Christ’s service and to the glory of God. We must “forsake” anything that would come between Christ and ourselves. The Lord made this plain when He ex plained to His disciples the word He had spoken to the young man “And everyone that hath forsaken houses or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, <or wife, or children, or lands for <My name’s sake shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit ever lasting life.” 'The .Lord had said to His disciples that “a rich man shall hardly into the kingdom of heaven.” amazement they asked: “Who, can be saved?” And the answer “With men this is impossible; but with Giod all things are possible.” “Hardly,” the Lord had said, not “never.” Riches can indeed be a snare, a temptation, a sore rance. But there are shining and conspicuous examples of .true Chris tian men and women to whom God has entrusted great wealth, and who have used that wealth as not their own, but His. The Apostle Paul, writing many years later by inspiration about the Gospel of our Jesus- Christ and how “foolish” it seems tie “the wisdom of this world” said: “For ye see your calling brethren, ho-w that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to con found the wise; and God hath chos en the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that, are; that no flesh should glory in His presence” (L. Cor. 1:26-29.) As some one has said, let us thank God for the “m” in the word “many” and that it does not say “not any.” For there are some truly intellectual men, mighty and noble -among those of this world, who are willing to become as little children and accept Christ’s shed blood and death in their stead, as He became their .Substitute and Saviour by dy ing that they might have eternal life. Moses, a royal prince, was one of these, “esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the trea sures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recomspence of the reward” (Heb. 11:26.) Paul was another; cultured, per haps wealthy, but "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for Whom I have suffered the loss of all things” (Phil 3:8).
