Three Ontario counties, Peel, Hur- ' on and Perth, are under the prohib- [ itory provisions of the Canada Tem- , perance Act until they vote them- ’ selves out, the Supreme Court or j Canada decided recently on a re­ ference submitted to it by the Dom- . inion Govenment. In effect the court held the pres- , ent Ontario Liquor Control Act is a ' les© restrictive enactment as to the sale and consumption of liquor than j the Canada Temperance Act and that ’ the later statute i© now in force in the three counties. The decisions clears up a confused position as the administration of liquor laws in , Ontario. The practical -result i© that the Liquor Control Board of Ontario will be unable to issue authorities for the sale of wine ox- beer, or open liq­ uor stores in the counties concerned unless the population votes the Can­ ada Temperance Act out of operation At the hearings, the counsel fox' the Ontario Government argued strongly against the Canada Temper­ ance Act and was joined by counsel fo-r the Province of Quebec and the Moderation League of Canada while counsel fox* the Temperance Federa­ tion urged the court to rule the fed­ eral statute was in force. The sented The passed attempted prohibitory laws. It au­ thorized local option votes by coun­ ties and cities and it was provided that where the provincial laws were more restrictive the operation of the act should be suspended. When Ontario adopted prohibi­ tion in 1919 under the Ontario Tem­ perance Act the -federal law was sus­ pended by order-in-council. The liq­ uor Control Act of 19 27 and amend­ ments in 1934 legalizing new agen­ cies fox' the ©ale of beer and wine changed the position in that province and to clear up a doubtful situation, the question was referred to the su­ preme Court. -Commenting -on tbe Canada Tem­ perance Act, Six’ Lyman P. Duff, the chief justice said in his reasons fox' judgment, “the provisions of part two may fairly be described as pro­ hibitory.” He set them out and they make it an -offence to expose, sell or keep for sale any intoxicat­ ing liquor except under special cir­ cumstances as for sacramental oir medicinal use, or by a brewei' or dis­ tiller for shipment outside the coun­ ty. “Turning now to the Liquor Con­ trol Act of Ontario,” he said, “it‘is perfectly obvious from an inspection ■of its provisions that it does not aim at the prohibition -of the sale and traffic in intoxicating liquors in the sense of the Canada Temperance Act. of the three counties, who pressed for the declaration the court has now made. The Attorney-General for the Dominion of Canada wa© represented and also supported the Canada Temp- ance Act, although he did not argue at length. The principal judgment ten by Sir Lyman Duff, chief jus­ tice, for the majority of while Mr. Justice Cannon Justice Crockett dissented. The former would have held the Canada Temperance Act not now in force, although it might be brought into force by proclamation. Justice Crockett declined to which statute was the more strictive but held the federal wa© not in force He said it might be brought into effect by an order- in-oouncil of the Federal Govern­ ment if the governor-in-council was satisfied the present Ontario law was not a© restrictive as the Canada Temperance Act. wa© writ the court, and Mr. Mr. say re­ law Dominion Government pre- no argument. Canada Temperance Act was along before the provinces The Questions The questions -submitted to the court by the Federal Government were: 1. Are the provincial laws respect­ ing intoxicating liquor as restrictive since the coming into force of the Liquor Control Act of Ontario, as amended in 19 34, as Temperance Act? 2. If the answer to is in the negative, is the Canada Temperance Act operation in the said counties Perth, Huron and Peel? 3. If the answer to question is in the negative what procedure must be adopted to bring the said part two into operation in the said counties? (Parc two of the act prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor in county or an-d part part two vote and order-in-council following popular vote registered against it or where provincial laws are more restricted. As the court answered question one in the negative and question two in the affirmative no answer to question three was required. Operation of the Canada Temper­ ance Act in the three counties was suspended order-in-council passed in 1920 and 1921 on the ground the Ontario Temperance Act then in force was a more restrictive law. The coming into force of the Liquor Control Act in 1927 made possible the sale of liquor in Government stores and amendments to the a<?t in 1934 made public consumption of been and wine possible in Ontario. The question then arose as to whether the Ontario law was less re­ strictive and, if so, whether the sus­ pension of the Canada Temperance automatically came to an end. The court ihas decided this was the case. In dealing with the question of restrictiveness Sir Lyman Duff wrote: “The comparison required for the purposes of applying the condi­ tion is a comparison of the laws of the province with the provisions of the parts of the Canada Temperance Act mentioned. A process of mea­ suring the comparative efficacy of two legisative enactments in the. suppresson or the reduction of ex­ cessive consumption of intoxicating liquor. the Canada question one part two.

Limited, Toronto, M Different Purposes “The purpose of the original act, broadly, to establieh a Government monopoly of the sale of liquor but to provide, by means of Govern­ ment shops chiefly, liquor for sale which might be purchased by retail with virtually no limit as to quant­ ity by persons possessing permits issued under the statute, which -per­ mits could be obtained upon pay­ ment of a small fee by any resident •of the province of 21 years of age. “Very important changes were in­ troduced by the statute of 1934, es- pecially in relation to. the permit system and a multiplication of agen­ cies for the sale of wine and beer.” Afer mentioning the powers of the Liquor Control Board to issue licenses to beer parloirs, hotel din­ ing rooms, wineries and breweries', to sell liquor and the operation of its liquor stores the continues: “The act, of course, stringent provisions prevent the sale of liquor and the consumption of otherwise than was authorized and permitted by the act. “Nevertheless, the enactment of its essence is an act for regulating ■.the sale and consumption of such liquor. It cannot be seriously ar­ gued that, in point of restrictiveness any attempt i© made to approach the prohibitory provisions of part two of the Canada Temperance Act. The respective objects of the two enact­ ments are in that respect opposed to one another. “The one statute, broadly speak­ ing, has for its object the prevention of commerical dealings in intoxicat­ ing liquor within the territory in which it is in force. The other makes provision for enabling people to pro­ cure such liquor by the purchase of it through Government stores' and ■ether agencies.” The chief justice declared the questions did not in any way raise the issue of the validity of the Can­ ada Temerance Act within the con­ stitutional powers of the Dominion Parliament. At the hearing, counsel for On­ tario and Quebec contended the act was ultra vires and therefore could not be in force anywhere. The court refused to consider the matter and merely mentioned it in the judgment ■to meet a request from counsel. The case was argu’ed at length about a month ago. and the chief contenders were the Attorney-Gen­eral of Ontario,, arguing against the J (Canada Temperance Act, and coun­ sel for the Temperance federations* Pending study of the Supreme Court’s decision ruling the Canada Temperance Act wa© in force in the Counties of Perth, Huron and Pell, ■the Ontario attorney-general’s partment on lune ed about carrying Privy Council. •Represented by senior solicitor in the department Ontario contended the Canada Tem­ perance Act was unconstitutional durng the hearing of the case at Ot­ tawa, The Canada Temperance Act lo­ calities but did not prevent a person bringing liquor there, was in force until .shortly after the Ontario- Tem­ perance Act came into effect in 1919 At that time temperance forces induced the Dominion Government to suspend the Canada Temperance Act as long as the provincial act was as restrictive as the Federal legisla­ tion. When beverage room sale o,f beer was permitted last summer through amendments to the (Liquor Control Act, temperance forces asked the de­ partment of justice to request the -Supreme Court to decide whether the Liquor Control Aet was as re­ strictive as the Canada Temperance Act and whether the Temperance Act was in force.

There is one city in he district affected by the decision—Stratford in Western Ontario—but it had not come under the Temperance Act. A vote £oik establishment of bever­ age rooms in Canada Temperance Act Iocalitiee is much simpler than the procedure under the Liquor Con­ trol Act demands a three-fifth ma­ jority before beverage room author­ ities can be issued but a bare ma­ jority is sufficient under the Canada Temperance Act. The attorney-general’s department official said it would appear from the decision the hotels and golf clubs holding beverage room authorities in these were operating illegally but he could not say what action would follow. He expected, however, the pro­ vince’s next move would be tO' test the constitutionality of the Canada Temperance Act.

Moses was supernaturally inspired to say to Israel, in his valedictory Redeemer, being is that is an demanded hearken." That this was a made for it •o£ 'his when he said of Jesus Christ: “For (Moses truly ©aid unto the fathers; “A pro­ phet shall the Lord Thy God raise up unto you of your brethren like unto me , . , And it shall come to pass that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.” (Acts 3: 20-23.) Moses was not only the lawgiver— that is, the mouthpiece of God’s law —but he was the divinely commis­ sioned emanicipator of Israel. He showed superb courage after he had first shown timidity, even what seemed like cowardice. He finally lived a life of such close communion with God that he was taken into God’s confidence as few men have been in the history of the world. With his courage and heroism there was a humility, a meekness which became utter self-sacrifice in his love of his people and his God. Before his birth he was doomed to die—for he was a Hebrew boy, and Pharaoh, Egypt’s mighty Emperor, was determined to kill all the Heb­ rew men-children. His life as a baby was saved by strategy of his mother; he was adopted by a princess, daughter of Pharaoh, and he was brought up at the court of Egypt and given the best education that one of the great­ est empires and culture .of this world has every known could provide. Then, after’ an impulsive and angry homicide in the interest of his people Israel, Moses fled for his life, and spent forty years in the wilder­ ness of Midian, tending the flocks of the father of the woman he had married. Then God called nim, apearing to him in the miracle of the bush that burned, but was not consumed; and Moses was commissioned Israel out of liei- bitter, bondage under Pharaoh in To Moses, God revealed terous name: ‘I Am that There followed the long contest with Pharaoh, the terrible judgments of plagues descending upon the land of Egypt as Moses divinely directed word; and the final exodus of the Israelitish slaves from Egypt under Moses. On the nignt or the deliverance the ceremonial of the slaying of the passover lamb was instituted by God’s direction through Moses, and the blood-marked houses of the Is­ raelites meant deliverance from the death penalty that struck the first­ born throughout all the land -of to bring grinding Egypt.

In the lesson chapter we find God directing Moses to come up into Mount Sinai with his brother Aaron and other representatives of Israel, to. meet with Him there. “And Moses alone shall come near the (Lord”; the others must remain at a distance At this time God gave Moses ‘tables of stone, and law, and command­ ments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them,” of Israel. Moses and those wno him were actually given the God of Israel on this great oc­ casion. Then Moses, taking the young man Joshua with him left the others; later he left Joshua. “And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. And the glory of the Lord abode upon Mount Sinai.” This was the time when Moses was kept in the mount with the Lord for forty days and the children of Israel fell into gross sin in his ab­ sence, even Aaron permitting this. Not only the Ten Commandments, but all the law of God as found in parts of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the bible), were given the people went with a sight of to Moses. And Christ said; “Till heaven and earth pass, one job or -one title shall n no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (Matt. 5:18.) The New Testament abounds with mention© of Moses. In one of His great discourses, Christ Himself said “And a Moses lifted up the serpent in the Son of soever perish, 3:14, 15). Moses is given prominent place in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews that great “Westminster Abbey of Faith,” where we are told that he esteemed “the greater riches Egypt.” While Moses est characters world and of Israel and showed forth in type and symbol the blood redemption that Christ was to accomplish, nevertheless the righteous law revealed to men by God through Moses could never save a soul. So we read that “ the law was given b.y Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:7.) The law condemns sinner©: God’s grace freely offered through Christ’s death and -resurrection, saves sinners.
