The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-01-10, Page 7THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1935 BROKE HER EEG AGAINST A CHAIR Whilst Hampered by Rheumatism ■“[Two yeans ago,” writes a woman, “I was suffering with rheumatism in my legs, and when walking upstairs one day just 'kicked my right 'foot against the stairs, and broke my leg juist below the knee. I was in hos pital four months, and when I came out someone advised me to try Kru- schen Salts. I did so, and now I have no trace o£ rheumatism. I would not be without my daily dose of Kruschen, which I take every morning—half a teaspoonful in warm water.”—Mrs. P. B. The six salts in Kruschen stimu late the liver and kidneys to healthy regular action: assist them to* get rid of the excess uric acid which is the cause of rheumatic pains. When poisonous uric acid goes—with its deposits of needle-pointed crystals— there’s no doubt about those aches and pains going too! The iate A. P. Shetler The many friends of Mr. A. P. Shetler will regret to learn that on December 20th, 1934, he passed sud denly away at hfe residence in Se- mans, Sask. Deceased spent his [boy hood days in Dashwood, Ont., where he served his apprenticeship in the general ©tore of the late John Hall. After spending several years in other Ontario towns he moved to Buffalo, N. Y., where he held .a position with the Bell Telephone Company of that' city. While thus engaged he sus tained a severe injury from which he never fully recovered. A few years later he migrated to Western Can ada living at Gretna, Sasjlc. He spent several years in Southern California in search of health. In 1912 he again located in the West at Semans, Sask where for twenty-two years he con ducted a general store up to the time of his death. JM,r. Shetler served on the village council as overseer for a number of years also as chairman of the School Board. At the time of his death he was (secretary of the I. O. 0,F. and L.O.L. oldges. In religion deceased was an ardent church work er serving as Sunday School1 Superin tendent for twenty years. He was or dained as elder in the United church. In 19114 he was united in marriage to Miss Irene Bull, of Buiffalo, N.Y. From this union 4 children were born to them : Bernice, Cathryn, Arthur and Azelle, all at home. Four brothers, and two sisters survive him Edward of Santa Monica, Calif.; Fred of Buffalo, N.Y.; Albert of Se mans, Sask.; Jacob of Cr'andalib, Man.; Mary and Carriei, of Eureka, Calif. (Funeral services were con ducted by< Rev. Mr. Confgdon, of the United Church, the I.O.O.F. taking part in the service. The floral tri butes were numerous and beautiful, testifying to the high esteem in which deceased w.as held b'y both young and old. Thus ended a, life rich in good deeds, ,se>lif sacrifice and faith.

Great papers Hike the New York Times speak in this way almost constantly and this.able paper utshally) speaks by the book when it deals with matters finan cial. Yes, times are better, but in comparison with what era? Times cannot -be good when the unemployment situation continues as it is. It “'cannot be said too often that these are the days when every” man simply must do his very utmost if his finances- are not to sink. The simple fast is that a great many of our people have got into the way of looking for something to turn up. iStlll others are looking pathetically to the municipality or the province or the Do minion to do something for them. While this spirit of dependence is fostered we simply cannot loolk for much betterment in conditions.******** THAT BLUFF We were visiting where a public work was- going on. We were ■acquainted witli one of the foremen and under his care we were taking in the sights. “Your men on this big job are all busy. .How do .you man age?” “There’s something of a.joke about that,” was the smiling re ply. “We never know when the inspector will be coming -along so ’ every man is required to be on the move even though he is not act- uia-lly doing worjk-. I heard the -boss telling a man the other day who was waiting in idleness till .material required arrived, “Man, you must not be idle! If ’there s nothing doing pick up a monkey wrench or something and parry it across to another part of the works. After you have d'one thalt, pick up something else and keep going. If you are sitting or standing we- will be faulted for your idleness.” This set us thinking about a great deal of our alleged activity. So much cf our rushing about is fruitless, unp ord u-ctive. Much of' our'activity is not real activity, from a. productive point of view. It is bluffing at activity. More busyness than most of us su’spect is but ' sham. No -one. is deceived at first by this patter. The puttere-r is aware ■* of his nonsense. The spectator is amused. The money till slumbers on. The-banker is aware of the futility. We said “at first”' by design for the busy one is very likely to ’come to think, that he is of some use in the World merely be cause >he is click, clacking here and there. When this point arrives the poor jack-in-the-box is done for. Fate has called his bluff. Prosperity never follows in the wake of imitation activity. That way comes ruin.*** ***** REFUSED TO LEARN AND------ The wonderful feat of the Union Pacific’s electric, streamlined train that made the run from Los Angeles to New York in two days, eight hours, and fifty-five minutes causes “The Canadian Motorist” to make some reflections that appear to throw light on our modern railway problem. The fuel cost of the record run was about $SO.'O'O, about the dost of the gasoline foi* a heavy truck mak ing the same journey. This leads the paper from which we are quoting to point out that the steam locomotive is available for ser vice for only about 215' to 3'5 per -cent, of its existence. The steam locomotive that looks so tremendously vigorous requires constant babying. “It is estimated that a single Diesel electric locomotive will supplant ten steam locomotives”, the Motorist, points out. Now why have the railroads, generally speaking, lagged so ter ribly? Why have they not discovered .more about and availed them selves more generally of the power that was waiting for them to harness? Have the railways refused -to learn? We are pretty sure that these mighty corporations have been informed all along. Have they allowed, themselves to be conservative whey they should have been progressive? If they hiave not done so, why their heedless ness? Have the locomotive 'builders <a good deal to say as to the motive power the railroads are to use? If what the “Canadian Motorist” says is in -accord with the facts, the railroads have been spending money for motive power that has been quite uncalled for. Why? In fact there seems to be .a good deal1 of room for inquiry as to the cost, of a great many things for which the people are paying sweetly and by the nose, For instance, we’d like to know why gasoline is no high-priced. Then why lias not gasoline been sup planted by some other material that some folk tell us could be pro vided at one half the cost of gasoline? Could the vested interests give us an .answer? 'Will vested interests- please look at what the last municipal elections point out -so clearly.? The patience of the .most loyal, lib eral and patient public has a limit., Will those in the seats -of the mighty not heed and .act in time?* * *• * ♦ * * * LIVE WHILE YOU LIVE The .Sunday at Horae, a British Magazine deserving of a larger circulation publishes this poem by E.

Sargent., This fine contri- 'buton was intended to help us out for 1935, Greatly-to the regret of all who need the helpfulness of brave, good men, the eloquent poet passed away before his message reached the world... Live while you liv.e, but not for selfish ends: Live for your kin, your neighbors and your friends; Live for your God Who giveth life to you; Be false to none—land thus to self be true.

Sunday School Lesson RETEH’S GHEAT CONFESSION Sunday, Jan. 13.—-Matt. 16:13-28; Luke 9:18-36; 1 Pet. 2’.<5, 6 Golden Text And Simon. Peter answered and said Thou are the Christ, the Sop of the living God.—Matt. 16:1'6, People sometimes say that -the Lord Jesus never asked any one to believe any doctrine, or to believe anything special about Himself, but only to follow Him. They quote His word to Peter .and Andrew, as they were fishing by the -Sea of Galilee, and “He said unto them, 'Follow Me’” (Matt. 4:'19). In the outcry against doctrine, go popular today, such passages are urged as evidence that the Lord never wanted any one to give any express-ion b.t doctrinal belief, -but only to- follow Him. Like the Sadducees the Modern ists of our Lord’s day, such people “do err, not knowing the Scriptures” (Matt, 22:29). They ignore the plain -statements in the (Gospels-which show that our Lord did require per sonal belief as an essential of dis cipleship. This lesson is a good an tidote to that popular error. , After the diciples had been “fol lowing” the Lord for some time, and had listened to His teachings. He asked them the crucial question: “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Not, What are My teachings? or What are My works? but, Who am I? The disciples told Him the var ious answers men were malkdng to this question. Some said He was John the Baptist risen from the dead (John had been beheaded.) Others that He was Elijah, the great Old Testament prophet; or Jeremiah, an other of the prophets. Then the Lord, directed the ques tion to the disciples themselves. 'But whom say ye that I am,?” It w.as a momentous question, and upon the answer hung eternal issues. Simon Peter, spokesman for the disciples, “.answered and said, Thou are the Christ, the Son -of the living God.” There was the first paa’t, the foun dation of the creed of the Christian Church. There was the great doc trine of the Church, the deity of Christ. “The Christ” means “an- nointed one.” and is the Greek for the Hebrew word Messiah. Every intelligent Israelite knew that the Messiah who was promised to Israel throughout the Gid Testament Scrip tures must be divine, must .have the unique deity that only God has. ‘The -Son of the living God” must be -God the .Son. The “Son of man” who is the -Son of God., must have deity as no created man has ever had it. Isaiah was ope of the several Gid Testament prophets who had pre dicted the coming of the Messiah or the Christ declaring that his name was to be called Immanuel, which means “God with us” (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23.) The -deity of 'this Mes siah Son is declared in. the prophecy that “His name shall -be called Won derful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6.) Our Lord’s heart must have re joiced when Peter uttered his great confession of faith. Peter had not arrived at this conclusion by a pro cess of human reasoning; he had not "thought it out if-or himself,” For the Lord at once said, to him: “Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not reveal ed it unto- thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” When any man, woman or child comes to see and eileve from the heart that Jesus is the Christ, such faith is God-given. It is possibly only by the working of the Holy Spirit in that one's life. The Lord said further to Peter: “Upon this rock I will -build my church; and the gates of hell (hades) shall not prevail against it.” What did the Lord mean by “this rock?” Other Scriptures give us the answer, especially Peter’s First Epistle. The rock was Christ Himself. “Behold, I lay in Zion a .chief corner-stone, elect precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be -confounded,” “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ,” (1 Cor. 3:11.) The time had not yet come, how ever, .for men in general or for the Jews, to know that Christ was the Messiah. Therefore “charged He His disciples that they should tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ.” This fact was to be proclaimed pub licly and fearlessly later on, as it was by the disciples on and after the coming of the Holy Spirit on. the Dey of penteccst. Premature publishing of the fact would only have hindered the Lord’s worlk, hence His warning injunction. But to the few chosen disciples He told plainly, from that time, “how that He must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and -scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.’’1 And here was more doctrine for them to believe. The death of Christ, and the resurrection of Christ follow from the deity of Christ. Another striking and convincing passage showing tha ‘supreme place that Christ Himself gave to personal belief is in 'the account qf His heal ing of a man born blind., The heal ed man was cast -out of the syna gogue by the Jews because of hie testimony to. Christ. Then the Lord sought him out, “and when He had found him, He said un'to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And lie worship ped Him.” (John 9:35-38) It is impossible to be saved ex cept by faith in the person and work of Christ. Many New Testament pas sages make it plain; “That if thou shalit confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shaft be saved” (Rom. 10:9).

PATHFINDING Established in 1817, the Bank of Montreal was the first permanent bank in British North America. Inaugurating branch banking in Canada, it was the first bank in the capital of Lower Canada, first in th? Capital of Upper Canada, and first of the present banks in Bytown, afterwards Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion. It was the first permanent bank to be established west of the Great Lakes and the first to achieve a transcontinental system of branches. It was also • The first institution to protf/, Canada with a domestic currency, both bills an^/ linage, The first banket for the Government of Canada, The first bank to help finance the improvement of the St. Lawrence Waterway, through the assistance it gave to the building of the first Lachine Canal. From its inception the Bank of Montreal has held the confidence of the Canadian people. Today that confidence is expressed in the fact that the Bank holds more than one million deposit accounts, equal to a deposit account for one in every ten persons in the entire Dominion. Canadians naturally expect, as the sequel to such a reCord, that this Bank will retain the spirit of the pioneer in co operating with the future business life of the nation.
