Made by Kellogg in London, Ont. The Huron County Mothers’ Al­ lowance Board met at Clinton on the 15th inst., and' the meeting was: at­ tended by Chief Inspector H. Bent­ ley of the Department at Toronto. The Department heads have been visiting the several local boards for consultation regarding the work of each county or city organizations. Mr. Bentley gave valuable informa­ tion with reference to the work in the Province, and commended' very highly the splendid work done by the local boards, which had been largely responsible for placing the mothers’ allowance system of giving aid' to needy mothers practically be­ yond criticism. With reference employed, it was were better 'fitted much of their duty was to advise mothers, n'ot alone on the necessity of economy and' in methods of bus­ iness, but in the proper treatment of the children entrusted to their care, who are virtually under the. Aict, wards of the Province. More recently, especially since the depresison has made its inroads on the financial arrangements of people, much has been heard regarding a demand that the qualification of a mother to receive the allowance be reduced from two children to one, This, however, would involve such a large increase in the expenditure that it would' needs be made up by decreasing the a nee of others of assistance, cases one child ment to mothers receiving employ­ ment, nor a great burden to main- to investigators noted that ladies for this work, as number or the allow- much more in need In the majority of is not a great detri- tain; besides, the mother of one child is a young woman able to work and capable, in the majority of cases of obtaining employment, while in the case of larger families the mother is not eligible for' employment and their earning capacity is1 gone, Less Sustained During the yeair’ the local board sustained a very great loss in the death of the late Mrs. W.

Honest, decent citizens for the most part, perhaps neighbours of yours, but —somewhere in Ontario are the drivers who last year lulled or injured 1,942 innocent children. For the rest of their lives these men and women will vainly regret having failed to obey the few simple driving rules which keep motor­ ists out of trouble and save life, limb and property. Because so many drivers ignored these rules 8,280 persons were killed or injured on our highways in 1933. Every death, every accident was caused by human negligence! Isn’t it time for us to do a little thinking? Do you drive carefully • • • always? You should, if only for your own pro­ tection. Remember that over 50 per cent of the victims of fatal accidents last year were occupants of motor vehicles.* There are those Christian Church hadi laid’ too much emphasis u'pon the death of Christ; that we ought to think more of His . life than of His death. .Such an idea, may be popular, but it comes from men, not from God. It is exactly the opposite of the mes­ sage of the Bible. The great, central dominating theme of the Bible is Christ and His death as the only hope and: salvation for a lost world. The red thread of redemption runs through all the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. That red thread1 stands for the shed' bloodi of Christ as the sinnsers’ subsitute. It is. the meaning of all the Old Testa­ ment animal sacrifice s—sylmlb ol s and types of the sacrifice of of God, to whom John the anointed: “Behold' the Lamib which taketh away the world” John 1:29.) The first shedding of history o.f the world, in for man, the sinner, was when Himself madie “coats of skins clothed them”—guilty Adam Eve after their sin. In the hook of the Bible we read of Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8). “Without shedding of blood is no remission”-— of sin (Heb. 9:22). Therefore God Himself told His disciples that He ca'me “to give His life a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:28). He plainly de­ clared that “He must go unto Jeru­ salem, and suffer many things of the eld.ers and chief priests and scribes', and' be killed, and be raised' again the third day” (Matt. 16:21.) David, a thousand’ years before the birth 'of Christ, predicted and de­ scribed in great detail by insporation Christ’s crucifixion (Psa. 22). “My God., my God, why hast Thou forsak­ en Me?” wrote David: and he con­ tinued: “they pierced My hands and My feet.” Isaiah, seven centuries before Christ, prophesied that the Mesiah would' be “stricken, smitten of God and afflicted ....... wounded for our transgressions, brusied for our iniquities .... brought as a lamb to the slaughter”; .“with his stripes we are healed .... and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity o'f us. all.” (Isa. 5’3). And now the great goail, to which God1 and inspired writers had been looking forward from the beginning of trne, as at hand. The consum­ mation of God’s purpose for the re­ demption of lost sinners'—’and’ that means all of us had. come. Jesus was going to the cross. Some people say that Jesus of Nazareth never claimed) deity for Himself; that this was mistakenly pu't upon him by His disciples and others, after His death, in a man­ made theology. Those wh'o say this “do err, not knowing the scriptures” Over and over again Christ claimed deity for Himself. It was because, of this that He was’ crucified. The Jewish Sanhedirin accused Him of' blasphemy—and it would) have been blasphemy if it had' not been true. This lesson chapter makes the deity of Christ inescapably plain,., The Jews sent Christ to Pilate, the Roman G’overridr, as they had' not the legal right to crucify Him. ^ut when Pilate examined’ Him he could find no fault In Him, and he tried, in a half-hearted w'ay, to set Him free. Finally he yielded to the demands of the Jews that He be crucified': “I am innocent of the (blood of this just man; see ye to it.” Christ was led away, scourged turned over to the R'oman soldiers, mocked, insulted; by being clothed in a sdarlet robe as king, and wounded cruelly by a crown of thorns press­ ed down upon His brow; and, finally ■—one recoils from the word® and more Him.’ ax. As soidUfs “parted,' His garments, cast- ing lots” for them. This was a ful­ filment of the prophecy in David’s Psalm and- was but one of z2’5 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled. with­ in the 24 hours of the night and day of our Lord’s crucifixion. Could there be greater evidence of the su­ pernatural inspiration of the Bible? The death of Christ was different from the death of all other human beings since was sinless; the place of Himself the death; and “His own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree’* (TPet 2:24). He was actually identified with the sin of the world. God laid our sins upon His Son. God “made Him to be sin for us. Who Knew no sin; that we might be made the right­ eousness of God in Him.” (II Cor. 5:21) Andi because God cannot look up­ on sin, but must turn His face away from it, the Father and the Son were separated for the first time in eter- . nity, and there came that “orphaned cry from the cross,” “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” This was not the death of a martyr who dies under the blessing of God because of faithfulness to God. The curse that God must pronounce up­ on sin fell upon His .Son, Who t'ook the place of the sinner. “Christ hath redeemed us from law, being made a. (Gal. 3:13.) And Christ died*, but in the full possession strength. “Jesus, when cried again with a loud voice, yield­ ed up the ghost.” The meaning of those word-s is, literally, “dismissed His spirit.” No man took His life from Him, “'but I lay it down of My­ self” (John 10:18). So He could- say on the cross, "It is finished.’* (Salvation was purchased for all sin­ ners who will receive it: they “were not redeemed with Corruptible things as silver and gold . . . but with the precious blood of Christ, la nub spot” the world began. He yet He voluntarily took the sinner, received in. wages of sin, which Is the curse of the curse for us.’* not in weakness of His He had ., as of a without blemish and without, (I Pet. 1:18, 19.)
