Read his letter:— “About foui’ years ago, I had a bad attack of lumbago, After be­ ing in hospital for two weeks taking heat treatment, I started taking Kruschen Salts.

Why is it that Kruschen is so ef­ fective in keeping lumbago at bay? (Simply because it goes right down to the root of the trouble, and removes the cause, which is an impure blood­ stream.

This is evidenced by the increased value of the products of all our primary industries -due in some cases to increase in production apd in price, and in others to increase in price alone. ’“Not less significant is the change in the temper and attitude of the people. There is evident -throughout 'Canada a spirit of greater courage and confidence than a "year ago. As one surveys ■the whole situation one cannot but be -gratified at the marked im­ provement of 1934 over 1933. This general improvement in con­ ditions applies to Western Canada as well as to Eastern Canada. “I first visited Western Canada in 1890', and have visited it, I should say, a score of times since. Based on my own observation and the information received -while out there, I see no reason to doubt that Saskatchewan will produce as large quantities of agri­ cultural products in the future as in the past.—N. W. Rowell, K.C.****** * WE AGREE AGAIN Many enjoyed a delighted chuckle as the word got out that those in the seats of the mighty were not looking favourably on their attending a big ball at the opening of the provincial parlia­ ment. Of course we know that the milliners and the confectioners and perfumers and the talcum dealers would be losers. We know that scores would lament because they couldn’t heel and toe and turkey tnot under the aegis of something like royalty. At the same time we recall the 'fact that we aTe a young nation supposedly democratic, greatly in debt and tremendously in need -of economy and as greatly in need of fighting shy of pomp and circumstance. For that reason we think it a good thing that some folk who are -at the head of our affairs should treat parliament as- being a big busi­ ness committee of >the province convend to attend to some business matters. For many a. day io come Ontario in public and private life can afford to ge-t on without the froth and fuss of alleged so­ ciety life in both its publi# and private affairs.******** THOSE EASY DEFAULTERS All honour t-o -the provincial government in its efforts to have municipalities buck up and pay their way rather than throw up their hands and have the provincial government assume their debts, bond­ ed an-d otherwise. The simple ‘truth is that municipa’ities .have undertaken building programs that have not been warranted by necessity. S'cihools have been built that have not been needed. Roads have been constructed that 'have been speedways rather than aids to public service. Everywhere there have been expenditures that no business requirements sought for. At fhis period the tax collector sent in ihis bill a'nd the councils with a sly smirk, said: “We’ll 'have the province pay our debts’." quite ignoring the fact that it i-s- not common honesty to demand -o-f -another that he pay one’s shot. Self-respect? Shucks! who cares, so long as some-one else pays the piper! Yet this is what the defauting municipalities are doing. We maintain that Exeter, Usborne and Stephen should not be asked to pay directly or indirectly for other municipalities’ luxuries.******** (.Border Cities 'Star) With no heroics and no hysterics, David Misner has been tried in less than six court days, found guilty of kidnapping John S, La- batt, and sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. The swiftness of Canadian justice in this case, the first to be brought to trail m the Dominion, ought to put a blight on the snatch racket for a long time to come. It isn’t 'healthy, in Canada. On the -other hand the Hauptmann -trial, as it winds its seem- lingly interminable way through the three-ring circus atmosphere of the Flemington (N.J.) -courthouse, is likely to prove an incentive, rather than a deterrent, to future kidnappings. Certainly, if any half-wit wants t-o bask- in the limelight of publicity -after this, ihe knows how to go about it. The Flemington affair opened with a man fighting for his life. The man is still fghting for ihis life, though this truth seems to' have been entirely subordinated by the maudlin public which is making a Roman holiday of human suffering, whether that suffering is deserved or undeserved. Could anything be more downright nause­ ating than the avidity with which morons in mink are buying those miniature ladders—-replicas of the ladder used in the Lindbergh kidnaping—and proudly wearing them pinned to their bosoms? A baby was murdered — a. man and his wife were stricken with a nameless grief — a man is on trial for his life. A'nd the imbecile thrill-seekers at Flemington, with their insatiable morbid­ ity, laugh and wear th-ose little ladders and exchange pleasantries over their great fun. With greedy eyes they, like the knitting women counting the heads fall at the foot o-f the guillotine, watch the writhings of -the accused man in the witness chair. And they feast their- sadistic souls on the mute ago'iiy of the father whose baby wore the little shirt so often displayed in the courtroom. It’s a good thing Justice is blind. Otherwise she’d find it difficult to hang on to her breakfast, too.******** THE FLY IN THE PUDDING Our real difficulty is not financial nor is our problem lack of work or of captial or of -opportunity to invest capital. Nor is the abundance of annoying trade restrictions our worst enemy, bad enough and obvious enough as all these are. Our real difficulty is -our gradual loss of self-respect.

Politicians have been doing this with' one eye squinting towads the. ballot box, each paty trying to outdo its rival in this work of helping people down rather than up, When self-re­ spect goes, feeling goes too. As civilization made her advance, folk honored the man and aided the man who was getting things done in his own behalf and in behalf of his country. Lately the help has been going to the folk who neither toil nor spin. The old school­ master, Necessity, has been given a holiday. Sunday School Lesson 1 PETER TEACHES GOOD CITIZEN- LSHIP (TEMPERANCE LESSON). Sunday, Feb, 17.—I. Peter 2:11-17 4.1-5 sent by ihim 'for the punishment of evildoers, and f-or the praise of them that do well. For s-o is the will of God, that, with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of fool­ ish men.” In other words, good Christians are law-keepers, not “scofflaws.” Lawlessness is net -Christian: it is anti-Christian. The Gospel- -of Jesus Christ, really believed and -lived by men in general, would put a speedy and complete end to the lawlessness that is the shame and degradation of our age, In four terse sentences. Peter gives inspired dicta: Honor all men . Love 'the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. The truly Christian ihonoring -of all men recognizes the rights of all. “The brotherhood” is a- term meaning here, the Church. Ah who have received as (Saviour are -brother, in Christ and are childen of the heavenly Father. There is no teach­ ing in the (Scripture of any univer­ sal brotherhood of man or universal fatherhood of God, Such brother­ hood and fatherhood are dependent entirely upon relationship to Christ as -Saviour. And fellow-members of the body of Christ, who have the unity of 'tihe ' faith in recognizing Christ as- the only begotten Son of God -and the -only Saviour of men, have to live for one another that is impossible among unbelievers. We are fear of the Lord is the begin- of wisdom.” (Psa. 111:10). is not an abject or .awakening it is reverential fear, charac­ teristic of true Christians and an es­ sential of good citizenship. Because “the powers that be are ordained of God" (Rom. 13:1), we are to “honor the king.” “For there is no power but of God , soever therefore er, resisteth the True Christians honor the king, ruler, whoever he may be, not prim­ arily because of the man himself but because of the office -he holds. The closing verses, of this lesson, in the next chapter show tihe rela­ tion ship -of personal righteousness to social righteousness, and ‘the re­ lationship of personal sin to “anti­ social” acts. “in and abominable idolatries, will have to “give account to Him that is .re-adv to judge the quick (the living) and the dead." These ’things do npt make for good citizenship; and they are wholly contrary to the Christian life. some 30 entirely discuse- Golden Text Love worketih no ill to his neigh­ bor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. (Rom. 13:10.) Peter learend a lesson in good citizenship. The tax collectors had come to Peter and asked him con­ cerning Christ, “Doth not your mas­ ter p.ay tribute?” 'Peter promptly answered that He did. When Peter an J the Lord were alone together, the latter .asked Peter a question: “Of whom do the kings .of the earth take custom or -tribute? Of their own children, or of strangers? There was only one answer, and Peter gave it: "Of strangers." Christ drew the -lo­ gical conclusion: “Then are the hildren free." And Christ and His disciples were children of the Heav­ enly King, who is above all kinds of the earth; why, then, should they pay an earthly tax? But they should, as the Lord made plain to Peter. “Lest we should -of- zend them," that is, cause them to misunderstand our attitude and ac­ tions. The Lord worked .a miracle, at that time, to enable Peter to pay the tax for himself and his Lord. But the principle -and duty were permanent, quite apart from mir­ acles; and Peter makes this plain in one o-f his Epistles, written years later. This letter is addressed to Christians, The .apostle es both personal sin and duty, and also sin and duty as related to so­ ciety. He pleads with God’s people “as strangers and pilgrims" here in this world -of sin which knows not God, to “abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” Modern psychology and sociology have little if anything to say about .in; for the most part they do not recognize such a -thing as sin at all. They talk about “anti-social acts,” which they say are the result of de­ fective education or environment. Thus, “crime is inherent in the so­ cial order,” and “society, and not the individual, is responsible." It is a pretty theory, but vastly ignorant .and quite futile. Educa- tion has never been able to deal with the sin question, and never will be. President Roosevelt 'knew this when he said -of his -own alma mater, Har­ vard University, that it had “educat­ ed more crooks dhan any other uni­ versity in the country.’ Bin goes deeper than education can reach. Only an entirely new life, which begins in the new birth from above when men are born again by faith in Christ as (Saviour makes possible any victory over sin, and freedom “from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” Peter makes this very plain at the end of this lesson chapter, when he shows that -Christ “His own self bare -aur sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sine should live unto righteousnes.” Then, because Christians have been saved by 'the blood -of Christ from both the penalty and the power of their sins, they .are to live in sucih a. way that the. -world around them even though unbelieving, cannot criticise their lives, but must respect them. That is the true meaning -of good citizenship. And true Chris­ tians are, logically and inevitably the best citizens. Peter leaves us in no doubt what he means when he says: “-Submit yourselves to your ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as surpeme, or unto governors, a& unto them that are “The ring This fear; to “fear God” because . .
