And all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things by Him. Here is a verse shines out midway packed and running over with events and teachings that could -centre only in the person and work of the Son of God. The verse is introduced by the record that when the Lord had said certain things, “all His adversaries were ashamed.” Then it was that people rejoiced,” It seems to be a foregleam of the time, yet to come, when all the ad­ versaries of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be put to open shame and de­ feat, and when “all the people” who have believed in Him through the ■" - ■ - - . trucking cen-turies -shall “rejoice with joy un­ Town shTp &mvel‘“f or 1936.

W. Morgan, Clerk DRY CELL BATTERIES It makes an -old-timer rub his- eyes and wonder if he has been dreaming to be told that 17S million dry bat­ tery cells were produced in Canada last year. Theii* use is increasing by -over a million a year. The farmer is the chief support of this industry, although the dry cell is to b© found everywhere. The bat­ tery sets for radio are mostly -for ru­ ral use. The increased activity in mining accounts for a large part of the increase also. Then there are flashlights. Flash­ lights are replacing the old fashion- od oil lantern on the farm. Motor­ ists1 and campers find them handy and even the policemen who long ago used to carry a bull’s eye lantern af­ fixed to his belt is now equipped with a -flashlight in his pocket. The old toy lantern which Santa Claus used to give the enterprising boy are gone and the reindeers bring flash­ lights out of the north instead. They are to be found everywhere. Eight mililon of them were made in Can­ ada last .year. These figures are to be found in a report issued a few days ago by the Mining and Metallurgical Branch -of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. GIST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr and Mrs. Alexander McKellar, Cromarty, on March 25, celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary. The day was spent quietly. Mr. and Mrs. McKellar were married on March 25, 1885, by Rev. Peter Scott, of Cromarty -Presbyterian Church, and next day took up residence at the farm, west of Cromatyr, which has been theii* home ever since. They have a family of two sons and three daughters; Malcolm,^Seaforth; Mrs. John Hamilton, Cromarty; Mrs. Wil­ ber Miller, iStaffa line, and Duncan and Sarah, at home. BABES BORN TO WOMEN REFUGEES FROM FLOOD WILKES-BARBE, Pa.: The stork dropped in on some unusual places in Pennsylvania’s flood zones. . A woman took refuge in a Han­ over Township schoolhouse recently, and her baby was born there. A street car in Kingston was the birthplace of another. A report from Lock Haven said that during the night a child was born to a woman -who sought refuge with 200 others in a schoolhouse in that isolated city. salem and the holy people Israel • against their -own Messiah, and we . are reminded of the . Paul’s epistle to the which tells us of Christ’s ward steps from eternal , the Father until, having man, and having humbled Himself, . 1-Ie “became -obedient unto death, even the death o’f the cross.” And then immediately we are told that because of this “God also hath high­ ly exalted Hiuni, and given Him a- name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every- knee should bow, of things ip heaven, -and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that - every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The lesson chapter in Luke is fill­ ed with facts and teachings that throw light on what the Kingdom of God is. It begins with a -stern yet plead­ ing word from the Lord who came to save men from hell by dying in their stead. The .Roman Governor Pilate had just put to death certain Gali­ leans. And the Lord said to His hearers: “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” He longed to have men repent and turn to Hiim, and let Him save them. This is still the longing -of His heart; and “now is the accepted time” when men can repent and be -saved. Repentance and faith in -Christ as .Saviour—that is the way of entering the Kingdom. The Lord Jesus was teaching in one of the Jewish synagogues on the Sabbath day. A woman who had been held in the bondage of disease for eighteen .years so crippled and helpless that -she “was bowed to­ gether, and could in n-o wise lift her­ self,” was singled out by the Lord; “He called her to Him, and said un­ to her; Wolman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity, And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.” That was Kingdom privilege, ex­ tended by the King. Did every one praise -and honor Jesus because of this great miracle? It is amazing to read -that the Jew­ ish ruler -of the synagogue was in­ dignant. And why? “Because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day.” There were six days for this sort -of thing, said the ruler, people ought to come on weeks if they wanted to be healed, not on the iSabbath.” The Lord openly exposed the “Th-ou hypocrite, doth not each -one of you, on the iSabbath loose his ox oi* his ass from -the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sab­ bath day?” It was then that the people re- joiced for the glorious things being done by the Lord. He went on to teach more about the- Kingdom of God. It is like a grain of mustard seed which grows and becomes a great tree, so that the fowls -of the air lodge in its branches, Or it is- like leaven or yeast, which a woman took and hid in three 'mea­ sures of meal, till the whole leavened.” Do these two parables mean that the Kingdom -of -God, consisting of all believers in 'God, is -growing steadily, silently, increasingly, un­ til. it will gradually but completely fill the whole w.orld and win all hu­ manity? The whole teaching of the Bible is against Such an interpretation; and so is the plain record of the facts, both in history and in present-day events. iSound Bible -students and teachers believe that -our Lord’s teaching in other parables and also the teach­ ing of the Scriptures throughout describes what is called “the mys­ tery form of the Kingdom”. As Dr. J Schofield put® it: “It is the sphere I of Christian profession during this ! age. It is a mingled body of true I and false, wheat and taros, good and chapter in Philippians even down­ glory with become a and days “and man. was Lots of work for everybody! * * * * **♦ And now for spring house cleaning. *******♦ What does the Missus say about Ted’s dirty boots and her be­ spattered kitchen and stove as he insists on making maple syrup! ******** THE VOICE OF SPRING “I come!

Every church should have it’s Red Cross Sunday. Here’s a hint to the local ministerial association.

This Irish devotion is something to be reckoned with. There’s dynamic there. # $ i|t * THE LEAGUE HAS PREVENTED IT 'So* far, the League of Nations has prevented war. And what a deal has been said in that one sentence! Hot heads have been kept' to words. Sane men have been given time to make their sugges­ tions heard. Little by little the people get to the heart of the pro­ blem and are seeking the great thing the world needs—-a just and lasting peace. Nations are allowed to say the thing they will and have found reief by so- doing. All is not well with the nations, but they are a great deal better than they were in 1914 when precippi- tate action plunged the race into war. Governments work out their plans through a series of approximations. Rome was not built in a day. Peace is a growth—-a gradual achievement. WILL WE ? Those dwellers in the flood-stricken areas will have a lot of ex­ tra work to do to get back to normal. They’ll need to and they’ll want to and they will. They’re bred that way. But what of us who live out here where all has gone well? Will we dig in and see what advance we can make? In other words will we work as hard for progress because we have opportunity to do so, as will our neighbors who will work and sacrifice and think and plan to -get back to something like the old way of carrying on? If we don’t we’ve not up to what we should be. healthy minds is quite as fine a spur as necessity! forget that the day of our -own visitation is -on the way. forget what the wind did to us that June forenoon no Opportunity for And let us not Let us not so long ago. * * * ** * * * THE5 Some -of oui* Ontaro towns spring floods. 'Only those who FLOODS through thehave suffered severely have experienced what a flood ,can do- have any idea of the terror and the loss such a visitation brings with it. ILive stock, gardens, buildings, drains, to- say nothing of bridges and roads are swept to ruin. Do what a community will, its prosperity is set back for years. Houses that are left standing are left dirty beyond all telling, with the added features of destroy­ ed walls and rugs and furniture and 'floors and cellars and furnaces that are turned into something like pest holes. In addition, wells are filled with filthy and often, disease laden water. Everything in an orderly community’s life goes by the board, to say nothing of sickness and disease and endless work. Our warmest sympathy goes out to all so afflicted. But who is to tell of the ravages of the ■floods in the submerged areas of the Eastern States? Language fails such a situation. We think of the children and the women and the ruined business. We can do little but grieve. What is to learned? First, to see that imen are in public life who will keep the wa­ ter-channels clear. 'Such disasters are sure to come. Years may1 intervene between disasters but then the time of stress comes as surely’ as comes Sunday and night and the storm. Why not be ready? Men who know their business know when the ice should be moved. It is the hour’s delay that does the damage. When the floods are out -men must give up. But they can prevent the flood by' letting the water keep moving. This can be done, but it is -a man’s job. Men like Herbert Hoover are equal to such a task. And that is the whole thing, keep the ice moving. ffutatnmBm bad. It is defiled by formalism, doubt and worldlincss. But within it Christ sees the true children of the true Kingdom, who, at the end of the age, are- to 'shine forth as the sun’. Then the Lord, as Ho continued His ministry through the cities and villages on His way to Jerusalem, pleaded with men to accept their sal­ vation while ther was yet time.
