THE CHRISTIAN AS WITNESS
Manitoulin Island will contribute
its share of turkeys again for the
Christmas season. A survey indi
cates that the number of thirds for
market will be about the same as
last year when 5U.U0U pounds were
marketed by the co-operative assoc
iation.
Reduction of one-half per cent, in
interest on leans made by the On
tario Agricultural Board has been an
nounced by Premier Hepburn, The
interest in future will be only four
per cent, compared with the previous
rate of four and a half.
Timothy Rust
If the severity of rust attacks on
timothy in the gra-s breeding nurs
ery. Central Experimental Farm.
Ottawa, is any indication of the
amount of damage which may result
from the disease throughout the
country, then the efforts which are
being made to deveolp rust resistant
■varieties of timothy should result
in considerable benefit to this crop.
More than half of the plants from
commercial seed at the Central Farm
have been practically destroyed by
rust during the past two years and
many others have been more or less
injured. In marked contrast are the
plants and strains selected for rust
resistance. These show no rust what
soever, and in consequence they have
made a strong, vigorous growth. Only
rust resistant selections are being
used as parent plants in breeding
new varieties of timothy. At the
same time, an effort is being made
to- determine the losses due to ruist
on timothy as it is growth in farm
practice.
presentative. This is partly due to
the short crop, but mainly to the
better prices prevailing on the local
Canadian markets. The Ontario ap
ples have met with a good reception
some, red snows making 30 shillings
and' some Jonathans 28 shillings.
Buyers are paying very little atten
tion to apples without colour or
quality. As November is usually a
poor month for apple sales, Mr. Ful
ton‘does not expect to isee prices,
even for attractive dessert barrelled
apples change from present values,
which are ranging from 22 to 27
shillings. More satisfactory values
will be made, he believes, for some
good quality, coloured barrelled ap
ples of the hard winter varieties as
the season progresses. Mr. Fulton
also believes that the future demand
is going to be for the red dessert ap
ple.-, rather than for the ordinary
run of culinary apple. In ordinay
seasons the English orchards will
take care of the cooking apple re
quirements.
Glover and Grass Seeds
The Current Report on produc
tion of clover and grats seeds in
Canada gives the following informa
tion;
RED CLOVER—It is believed that
the total 1934 crop in Canada may be
around 1500,000 lbs. as compared
with 3,0,00,000 lbs. last year. This
crop was due to an almost total fail
ure in the principal production dis
tricts of .Southwestern Ontario due
to drought.
ALSIKE—This seed in Ontario
wa<s practically a failure this year.
The total production may not have
exeeeeded 375,000 lbs. as against
1,500,000 lbs. in 1933 and an. annual
average of 6,500,000 lbs.

Replace Apple Trees
Agricultural Societies in Grey and
Bruce are to be commended for giv
ing leadership in the very worthwhile
project of replacing apple trees kill
ed last winter, states J. A. Carroll,
of the Ontario Department of Agri
culture.
At an Agricultural Society District4
Meetng at Paisley, November the Sth
discussion revealed some Agricultur
al Societies were not only recom
mending that apple trees be plant
ed, but were prepared to give advice
on suitable stocks and also arrange
club orders from reliable Nurseries
to take advantage of special rates.
Th bi is another indication how
the Agricultural Societies may as
sume responsibility for agricultural
welfare in their respective commun
ities.
ALFALFA—Production will be
less than last year due to wet weath-
ier and damaging frost in August,
jThe total Canadian crop is estimated
I at 1,650,000', lbs as against 2,50b.-
‘ 000 lbs. .in 1933.
SWEET CLOVER—,Total produc
tion of this seed in Canada may equal
the average for the last five years,
14,000,000 lbs.
TIMOTHY—The total yield' in
1934 may approximate i5,000,00'0
lbs. as against 4,00'0,000 lbs. last
year and an annual averge of 2,000.-
00 0 lbs. last year.
CANADA BLUE GRASS—This seed
was practically a- .failure this year
due to drou,ght in Southwestern On
tario where its production is largely
confined.
To Train Young’ Farmers
New Home Ready For Chicago Stock
Show
Finishing touches are now
being made on the mammoth new
home for the International Live
Stock Exposition which will cele
brate its '3.5th anniversary at” the
Chicago Stock Yard's from December
1 to 8.
When completed, it will be the
finest structure in the world devot
ed for such uses. The central section
or amphitheatre, will seat nearly
double the number who could be ac
commodated in the old building
which was destroyed in the fire that
swept the Chicago Stock Yards last
May.
The foremost herds and flocks
from every state in the Union and
provinces of Canad'a will contest the
continental championship of their
kind at the 193 4 Exposition. Accord
ing to the management, entries clos
ing on November 1st were the big
gest in the history of the largest of
the continent’s agricultural shows,
where over 12,000 animals were ex
hibited last year.

Only very small quantities of On

the United Kingdom, according to

Under the auspices of the Work
ers’ Educational Association of On
tario, University of Toronto, a two-
week school for young farmers has
been arranged, commencing Monday,
Novemer 2 6th in the Department of
Economics, University of Toronto.
The object of the school is to de
velop the latent talent for leader
ship among young men .and women
on the farm so that they may .fill im
portant places in their respective
communities in developing an under
standing of the economic position of
Agriculture and its relation to the
general field of Canadian, and! Inter
national Economics. It is hoped that
the’success of this school will result
in the formation of County schools
and also of study circles in each ru
ral community.
The school will meet .for two ses
sions each day—morning and after
noon at the University. At dinner
each evening an interesting address
will be delivered, by prominent edu
cationists and others.
At it is proposed to limit the num
ber of successful applicants, every
one who wishes to attend should send
in application now.
Co-operating with the Workers’
Educational Association in the pro
motion of this Agriculturist Varsity
are the New Canada Movement, Unit
ed Farmers of Ontario, Junior Farm
er Associations, and the Co-operative
Union.
A witness is not asked or expect
ed to offer any opinion. He has only
ue duty: to tell what he knows to
be facts. The word itself, witness, is
from the Anglo-Saxon witan, mean
ing to know.
It is of vital importance to keep
before us this meaning and purpose
of witnessing, especially in relation
to Christian witnessing. Christian
ity is not a theory, a philosophy, or
a matter of opinion. Christianity,
and every Christian doctrine, are
matters of fact. Tin- true Christian
witness testifies, with unshakable
assurance and c. nvietion, to what
lie knows to be facts. So Paul, the
greatest Christian witness among
men, declares with triumphant con
viction: “I know Whom I have’ be
lieved, and am persuad'ed that He
is able to keep that which I have
committed unto Him against that
day.’’ (II Tim. 1:12.)
But Christian witnessing goes be
yond a merely truthful stating of
facts. It is supernatural. Tha is, the
work of a Christian witness'—and
every Christian should be a witness
—is done in a power that no human
being has by himself. Not only the
human being, hut also God, is at
work whenever true Christian wit
nessing is being done. This means
results that only God! could bring
to pass.
Twice in this brief lesison chapter
of ten verses we are told of three
tenses in the life of the Christian
believer, these three tenses stand
ing also for three attitudes or activ
ities that should be in every Chris
tian lifter
Paul writes to the Thessalonians
Christians: “Remembering without
ceasing your work of faith and labor
of love, and patience of hope in our
Lord Jesus Christ.” This means lit
erally: “Your operative .faith, and
laborious love, and hope-filled pa
tience.”
At the end of the chapter Paul
writes: “Ye turned! to. God from idols
to serve the living and true God; and
to wait for His .Son from heaven,
whom He raised from the dead, even
Jesus, which delivered us from the
wrath to come.”
Dr. .Scoffield notes that these three
tenses of the believer’s life are log
ical and give the true order, and.' he
explains them as follows: “The ‘work
•of faith’ is to ‘turn to God from idols’
the ‘labor of love’ is to ‘serve the liv
ing and true God’; and the ‘patience
ot hope’ is to ‘wait for His Son from'
Heaven.”
the same for them, and. will, if they
will let Him.
The world is keeping its eyes on
Christians, to sec whether they are
really living the. way they profess
to live. A Christian witness is in
the limelight whether he wants to
be or not.
iFive things that every Christian
Christian witness has;
.SALVATION
SURRENDER
SEPARATION
SERVICE
HOPE
The four facts about Christ the
Christian witnesses:
HIS DEITY
HIS DEATH
HIS RESURRECTION
HIS RETURN
RECEPTION
One of tiie largest wedding recep

TOWN OF ST. MlARYS
(Seventy years ago in 18 64 St.
Marys blossomed .forth as a full
fledged town. Thomas Ingersoll and
his men commenced the building of
the hamlet in J 841, the first build
ing to be erected being the grist
mill. It was then called Little Falls
During a visit of the Canada Com
pany Commissioner from Goderich
it was decided to change the name
and as a result the honor of giving
the name was bestowed upon the
wife of the Commissioner. Her name
was Mary and so .in 1844 she named
the hamlet St. Marys. .'Mrs. Jones
contributed ten pounds towards the
erection of a school. In 1845 a re
gular mail service was established
from London and an active trading
qentre was established. All early
buildings were made of log or stone.
The Grand Trunk Railway reached
St. Marys in 1815'S. The first Mayor
was T. G. Guest when the town was
incorporated in 1864.

In other words, the Christian wit
ness is one who has personally re
ceived Jesus Christ, as Saviour, be
lieving .that Jesus’ death on the cross
and resurrection, are the only way
of salvation for lost sinners—which
means all of us.
Having thus been saved.’, the be
liever is enabled to turn away from
“idols” or sin, and be separated from
the world; be in the world but not of
it. Life is then lived, in God’s ser
vice, gladly and gratefully.
And the Lord’s return from Heav
en to earth, His Second Coming, is
the sure and continual hope of the
believer, no matter how long delay
ed.
One who .is living in this way is
continually witnessing, even without
speaking a word.
But the witness does not speak
aloud. He tells men that they are
lost, because “the wages of sin .is
death” and “all have sinned and.1
come short of the glory of God.”
He tells that he knows of the
only but certain cure for .sin: Christ
■as Saviour.
He urges them to believe in the
Lord Jesus Christ, receive Him as
their Savour, and be saved.
He shows them, from personal
kowledge and experience, the, joy of
living an entirely new kind of life,
in the keeping power and fellowship
of Christ and! the Holy .Spirit,
The Golden Text tells us also of
three vital steps .in true witnessing.
Only “after that the Holy Spirit
is come Upon you” can you be a true
Christian witness.
“Ye shall receive power” for ef
fective. convincing witnessing only
after the Holy spirit has entered in
to your life and heart and has join
ed you to Christ,
After these two facts and exper
iences, the receiving of the Holy
Spirit by faith of Christ, and being
empowered by the Holy Spirit who
is God Himself, does true witnessing
follow.
And1 where Is witnessing to be
done? At home. In our neighborhood
Out of town. In the world world.
That is what the rest of the Golden
Text tells Vs.
Wg Etro to iyttiiOios to whut Christ
has done for us; that I-le has saved
us, that He has entered into us and
taken us Into Himself, that He gives
ub a hew, supernatural freedom from
the power of sin, enabling us to live
“the life that is Christ.**
