AWFUL CHAIN OF CONSEQUENCES Not long ago a man got mad ait an editor and stopped his paper. The next week he sold his corn for three cents below .the market price. Then his place was sold for taxes because he didn’t read the treasurer’s sale. He was aTrested and fined $8 for go­ ing hunting on Sunday, simply be­ cause he did not know it was Sun­ day, and paid $30i0 for a numbei* of •forged notes that had been advertis­ ed for two weeks and the public cautioned not to negotiate them. He then paid a passer-by, wth a foot like a forge hammer, to kick him all thjB way to the newspaper-office, where he again asked for the paper and paid four years in advance; he also made the editor sign an agree­ ment to' knock him down and rob him if he ever again ordered his paper to be stopped. .... .... .......- - .' - CHISELHURST (Too la.te for last week.)

It has been a hard task and in many cases an impossible job The average taxes in this district are about a dollar an acre or $100. for an ordinary farm. Twelve years ago the farmer could raise $100 by selling three hogs at prevailing prices on the St. Marys market or by disposing of 5 0 busneis of wheat and he would have some of his hun­ dred dollars left after paying his township rates, for taxes were not so high then as now. In 193'2 the three hogs or fifty bushels of wheat would .pay less than a quarter of his taxes. To raise a hundred dollars- here last Thursday, the farmer would have had to sell 14 hogs, 220 bushels of wheat or 450 bushels of oats. Farmers have to find ready money for many items in .order to keep' things going. No wonder so many find, it can’t be done. CHRISTMAS CONCERTS Wednesday night of last week was a big one in No. 1 school, McGilliv­ ray, when the community turned out in force for the annual concert and Christmas tree. Eldon Hodgson was chairman and choruses, dialo­ gues, readings and vocal numbers were given by the puils whose train­ ing reflected credit upon their teacher Miss Martin. After the tree had concluded the evening for the children, their elders moved the desks aside and enjoyea a dance, at which the Neils and Harold and Viola Cunningham provided excel­ lent music. ■On the same evening, at Huron- dale school, near Exeter, following an interesting address by the chair­ man, Henry Strang. Miss Manning’s pupils gave a program before an au­ dience packed to the doors. Choruses directed by Roy W. moulding, A.T.- C.M., of 'ibxeter, music instructor in the school, were appreciated. Old- time Fiddler Hyde, London Rd., win­ ner of various cups won in contests, also entertained. A tree with spec- ail treats for the juniors formed a fitting climax. At Exeter the Salvation Army S. S., under the direction of Captain Tom and Mrs. Barrett, local corps of­ ficers, gave a program of merit be­ fore a large audience. A Christmas tree followed. Calvin Bullock, long established in New York financial circles, after a business trip to Canada believes that the sun of prosperity will shine on Canada in advance of the United States. and become a special helper of Paul- Mark’s Gospel ir only sixteen chapters is the shortest of the four, but of course equally inspired and authoritaive with the other three. Each kOf the four Gospels presents Christ in a somewhat different as-- ■pect and Mark’s emphasis, is upon the Lord as the migW Worker. ’’Everywhere the servant character of the incarnate Son is manifest,’’: Yet the unique deity of Christ shines through it all. It is a Gospel of deeds rather than of words or teach­ ings. Mark’s Gospel moves with swift- ,ness, "He is reporter raconteur of the Gospels, and his most /character­ istics word is ’straightway/ this Word, variously rendered, occurring ten times in the first chapter, His is the news-letter, the 'special extra’ bf the days of the aopstles. Every page has its starting headlines. The Wonderful has come!" A suggested key word is Power, frou Mark 2:10', ’’But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath pow­ er on earth.” The following simple outline of the Gospel has been suggested; 1. Wonderful Works, (chapter 9 . From Baptism to Transfigura­ tion. 2. Wonderful Teachings (chap­ ters 10-1'30. From Transfigura­ tion to Conspiracy, /3, Wonderful (Sacrifice (chap­ ters 14-16), From Conspiracy to Resurrection. Two prophecies had been made in the Old Testament respectively sev­ en centuries and four centuries be­ fore"- Christ came to earth, and the opening verses of Mark’s Gospel quotes, the two prophecies and show their fulfillment in John the Bap­ tist. One prophecy is found in Isaiah 40:3; the other in Malachi 3:1. Thus the divine, inspiration of the Old Testament in its predictive pro­ phecy comes’ out in this lesson. “Be­ hold, I send M*y messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way before Thee”; and John the Baptist fulfilled this in preparing the yay for -Christ. Who was John the Baptist? “The voice of one cry­ ing in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His pathd straight.” Malachi and Isaiah look­ ed forward through the centuries to John the Baptist and Christ. And what was John's messenger? He did not preach in the .synogog- ues or cities, but out jn the wilder­ ness, and he called upon men to re­ pent for the remission of their sins, and be baptized. He had nd social graces or courtesies; he would be ■called a rough diamond; “clothed There to one m,o whom the Al­ lies during the Weria War should honor to4ay end that is August (Jae­ ger, aged 41, of Leipsic,. Germany, now serving a ten year sentence for the pert he played in saving the lives of hundreds, yes perhaps thousands of Frenchmen, Englishmen and Canadians at the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915, Jaeger at that time was. in the Bavarian corps which was holding me tine on the German side in front of Ypres and during one of those straffings by the French 75 c he decided he had no use for the Kaiser’s war and when an opportunity offered he stole over to the French front line trench and gave himself up, jaeger had seen the German engineers installing the poison gas bottles in dugouts on his regiment’s front and he knew how deadly a mixture they contained and so when the French intelligence officers questioned him he warned them pf what 'to expect. As a re­ sult of this warning preparations were rushed for a stout defense but the French Were skeptical as well and thinking' the prisoner was try­ ing to put over a bluff they did not go as far as they might have in pro­ viding means to avoid the poison cloud which next day developed the French Colonial troeps-and brought honor to the First Canadian Divis­ ion. Now after seventeen years this man, who saved many Allied lives has been betrayed by the very na­ tion he served in this instance. About a year ago the French High army command allowed a number of his­ toric documents to be published and in one of these Jaeger’s name ap­ peared as the man who after de­ serting the German ranks gave the priceless warning to the foe. As a result of this exposure Jaeger was recently found guilty by the Supreme Court of desertion ano sentenced t-c ten years confinement and to be de­ prived of civic honors. CHECK-UP MAKES MANY SALES As a result of the recent check-up in radio licenses 950 licenses were sold in the constituency of North Perth. There are rumors that li­ censes will be increased next year from two to three dollars. Sunday School Lesson JOHN PREPARES THE WAY FOR JESUS Sunday, Jan. 1,—Mark. 1:1-11 Golden Text Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.—iMark I; 3 It is good to begin the new year with a fresh study of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. The' Interna­ tional Uniform Lessons give us .six months in the Gospel of Mark, cover­ ing every verse and chapter of this Gospel. John Mark as a young man made a sad break in his Christian service by abandoning his missionary friends, Paul and Barnabas, during their first missionary journey; later, however, he “came back” gloriously. Chevrolet for 1933 Reveals New Style WELL-KNOWN CANADIAN SIX HAS AIR-STREAM DESIGN AND MANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Canadian to a greater degree than ever because it embodies ideas expressed by thousands of motorists of the Dominion, the Chevrolet Six is introduced with many interesting features. New air­ stream design makes these cars among the most beautiful on the market.

The parallel ac? counts in the other Gospels tell W more of what he said. Did aay one listen to him? Vast, multitudes flocked out from every part of the province of Judaea awd. •from the great Jerusalem to hear him. it was a tremeuorous revival, of a real and searching sort. Aud ' iohn flattered no one, He -called the Pharisees and Saddusees who came to his baptism. ”0 generation ot vi­ pers,” and he told them plainly the doom of' unrepented sin. He told stingy people to be generous, people with an income to give to the un­ employed, publican-grafters to. stop grafting and be honest, soldiers to stop intimidating and looting. But with this fearless truth-tell- ing John was humility itself, and took nothing to himself. People ask­ ed him i|,he were Christ, or Elijah, and he answered flatly that he was not. “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness.” was all John would say about himself. But he went -on; “There cometh one might­ ier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose, I indeed have baptized you wth water,; hut He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,” And when, later, the Lord Jesus Himself joined the crowds that were flocking to hear John, the pro­ phet pointed to Him and said: “Be­ hold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29), The Lord, although He was sin­ less and had no sins to confess, nevertheless as the sinner’s substi­ tute insisted upon being baptized by John. A wonderful thing follow­ ed. The heavens opened, the Holy Spirit like a dove descended upon Christ, and “there came a voice from Heaven, saying Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” People sometimes say that the great doctrine of the Trinity, or one God in three persons, is not plainly declared in the Bible. Ths is one of the many passages where it is plainly declared. Here was the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity; the Holy Siprit; the third person of the Trinity, seen descend­ ing upon Him; and' the Father, the first person of the Trinity, speaking from Heaven and declaring the Son- ship of Christ. We have five great doctrines of the Scriptures in these few verses; the Gospel, the D^ity of Christ, the Inspiration of ithe Bible, the Person­ ality of the Holy Spirit, and the Trinity.
