Golden Text For God so loved the wo'rld that He gave Hi3 -only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not iperish, but have everlasting life. —John 3:16. No one who reads the Bible intel­ ligently would ever suppose that the Gospel was not intended for the whole world. The need is universal; the cure is universal. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” and "the wages of sin is death.’’ Therefore, all men need salvation and life. And "the (gift of God is eternal life through Jesus ■Christ our Lord." There is no other way of salvation or life. "Neither is there salvation in any other; there is none other name under heaven; given among men, whereby we must be saved." Our Golden Text, which Martin Luther called "The Little Gospel," makes inescapably plain the univer­ sality of the love of God and His provision for the salvation of all men. But God had planned, from the foundation of the world, to meet this need of all men through a single chosen race or nation, set apart by Himself for that purpose. That na­ tion was, and is, Israel, whom.God calls the chosen people. When God’ called Abraham out of a- heathen land to become the father of this chosen people, He made a series of promises to Abraham, one of which was; "And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." (Gen. 12:3) There was God’s declared plan that all men should have the Gosipel, and should have it through the chosen people, of whom God’s Son, Christ, was to be born after the flesh. To- carry out God’s great purpose for world salvation, Israel as a peo­ ple had to be separated from all other peojple, in order, among other things, "to witness the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry.” And God .gave Israel, through Moses strict laws that should keep them separate from the sins and defile­ ments and idolatry of other nations. Let rus never fall into the mistake, therefore, of saying—as some do1— that Israel was narrow and bigoted and egotistical in setting herself apart from other nations. It is true that Israel fell into many sins, in spite of all that God did to keep her true to Himself; and among other sin she doubtless became proud and "superior"’ in attitude toward others But the laws for this nation's separ­ ation from the best of the world were divine laws, not mail-made, and it was vital that they should be be obeyed. AU this must be taken into ac­ count as we study o.ur lesson with the vision and command that came to Peter. Peter, a Jew, had been trained in the Old Testament law of MoSes, which was God’s law. Among other things, God had forbidden His people to eat certain meats; a long list of such unclean and forbidden foods is given in Leviticus II. One day, Peter, igoing to' the house­ top to pray, and becoming conscious of keen hunger, fell into a trance and "saw heaven -opened, and a cer­ tain vessel descending unto him,” in which were "all manner of four- footed beasts- of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.’’ There came a voice "Rise, Peter! Kill and eat!’’ Peter's reply came: "Not so, .Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.” In answer came the voice again from heaven: "What God* hath cleansed, Lhat call not thou common." Was Peter wrong, bigoted, fana- " tical, to speak of these meats as un­ clean? Not at all; Petei* was simp­ ly obeying the law of God under' wihich Israel had been commanded to. live up to this time. But Go.d was now beginning to teach Israel that, because of the death and resurrection of Israel’s Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Mosaic law had been fulfilled and the new­ ly born Church of Christ, consisting of both Jews and Gentiles who be­ lieved in Christ, was no longer "un­ der the law, but under grace.” (Rom 6:14.) Peter learned his lesson. And when that very day, a Roman- 'centurian, Cornelius, sent messengers to Peter asking for help on the way to salva­ tion, Peter gladly went and preached Christ to them, saying: "Of -a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.” Little by little God taught the apostles, who were believing Jews, that it was no longer necessary, or God’s will, that the ceremonial de­ tails of the Mosaic lbw should be kept, but that the way of approach to God for all men, both Jews and Gentiles was by faith alone in the shed blood, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as Israel’s Messiah and the iSaviour of the world. S'o Paul wrote later; "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto sal­ tation to everyone that believeth; to the jew first, and also to the Greek. ....CLIPPINGS.... 4 RIAL Canada, says a banking authority, is not suffering from a money short­ age. Perhaps not; but some Cana­ dians are.—Goderich Signal. One trouble with too many motor­ ists is that although they use only half of the road, they use the wrong half, EVER HEARD OF THEM? Ever heard of the Royal Daimlers? Well, the King has bought me. The Royal Daimlers are the only cars which are not required to carry number plates. We don’t drive one! HELPING BUSINESS And now word comes that the squirrels in Hamilton are drop­ ping nuts on sidewalk using pedestrians. Trying to wake up that sleepy old town, we suppose, ******** WE MUST We must 'buy abroad if we would sell abroad. The United States and 'Canada are, both of them, realizing this. By a better understanding of social and economic problems nations invite pros­ perity and good will, so making war, in its various phases, an im­ possibility. • ♦♦****• A BROAD HINT That water scarcity in Dundas should give people of every town and village in Ontario' occasion for serious and united action, We visited a farm the other morning after the barn had been destroyed by fire. Fortunately no wind blew during the conflagration or the destruction wrought in the countryside would have been nothing short of desolating. Why municipal councils and boards of trade are not active in this mattei" passes all belief. ******** This altogether justifiable refusal of Premier Hepburn’s to al­ low himself to be a party to all sorts of racketeering in connection with his 40tli birthday reminds us of an- occasion .when the late Right Honorable Edward Blake -refused to take a prominent part in a monster street parade in his honour, saying, "Do you wish to make a second edition of Barnum and Bailie’s Circus out of me?" Running the affairs of the province is a (business and as far as pos­ sible removed frcim- ballyhoo and carousing. Mr. Hepburn’s ac­ tion, in this matter was altogether praiseworthy, though it may de­ prive him of the votes of the particular classes he offended. A GOOD AVERAGE In many large portions of Western Ontario the harvest of 193-6 will be well up to the average. Hay has been a splendid crop. Fall wheat has been really good -on a number of farms. In the Nissouris a number of -farmers report over 30 bushels of wheat per acre. While the 'barley and oat straw has not been -up to the average in length, the quality and yield of the grain has been good. The farm­ er with extra rich soil has been in luck this year. There has been little rust or blight on the straw. The potato crop is shy, but the tubers are excellent quality. Fall and wintei* conditions are faced with hope. ******** INTERESTING Thoughtful people are watching the struggle regarding the im­ position of taxes in one of the York townships with -a good deal of interest. It seems that the provincial government is doing some­ thing like dictating to the township as to it taxrate. This action on the part of the Province ‘is am exceedingly delicate one and may be the beginning of interestingtJoccuirences. It raises the whole question of over-government in situation are assured that the p an expensive luxury.

Thanks Uncle Sam. You irnay trust your sous as they venture abroad. * *• * • • DEPENDS ON THE OCCASION Hon. W. D. Euler, Canada’s Minister of trade and commerce, has been looking at Germany and Russia. On a purely business mission, his -observations are naturally confined to generalities. But the -did comment on the fact that in Moscow, -greatest of all Soviet’s cities, the [people did not look particularly happy. If this sounds like a trite remark, it nevertheless comes froinr a man who is well accustommed to sizing up crowds in a -realistic way. There is val­ ue in this. It is a relief from the mo-re familiar and more scientific analyses of Russian systems and developments. It depends on the day when the people were looked at. Take any crowd of people assembled on a Saturday night for instance. If there should have been a timely shower that afternoon that re­ lieved a serious drought the farmers would !be all smiles, provided word had come that wheat had jumped 15 cents per bushel. If the shower had been a hurricane levelling crops and destroying buildings, lips would be low and complaints would be in order. Similiar circumstances may have been operative in Moscow when the distinguished Canadian quoted made his observations. ******** THAT WASTE [S-ymfpathy is expressed for the action likely to be taken in 're­ gard to the attendance of pupils at -our high schools and universities First, there is no doubt but these places a're -crowded with al­ leged pupils who would be better pounding sand. They are not in­ terested in the work the educational centre was built for. They are simply gentleman, loafers, costing this country a fine penny. Why not have the standard of entrance to such institutions raised, raised very considerably, in that way eliminating candidates. The standard of entrance to the high school is away below what it ought to- be. The case is still Worse, infinitely worse, when it comes to tho entrance to the universities. The standard of gradu­ ation from the universities is far and away tod3 law. Further, a greater proportion -of tho exipense of educating folk in the high schools and universities should be borne -by the pupils than, is borne by them at present. The same applies to technical schools. Wore students in these schools paying their way, there is no doubt but that the school population would shrink immense­ ly, to the advantage of the pupils and of the commonwealth. A few more Dionnes and Ontario's financial worries would be solved. Seven thousand people were at Cal- lendar in one day to see the Quints. —Goderich Star. A Chicago man is said to have forecast the weather last winter cor­ rectly and also the heat wave and dry spell. Now he says, that we are going to get too much rain. But when?—Wingham Advance-Times A paper published in Eastern On­ tario has an editorial on the money to <j(be saved by having a garden of your own. Down in that district, they must have had soim-e rain Around here it would be a true en­ thusiast who would recommend any­ body to do any gardening this year, —Fergus News-Record. AN OLD PRINTING OFFICE There will soon be another place to see when you pay a visit to the Niagara district. It seems that (part of the old building used by William Lyon McKenzie as a printing office more than one hundred years ago, still stands in Queen&ton, and from a look at the pictures, it must have been quite a fine house and office in its day. William Lyon Macken­ zie, in case ,your history is hazy, was the editor of the Colonial Advocate, and a fiery writer he was especially when he goit to thinking about the men who made up the Family Com­ pact and ruled Upper Canada in those times. Over one hundred years ago, he became the first mayor of Toronto, when it became the first city of the (province. Later, he start­ ed the rebellion in 1837. But be­ fore either of these events, he was an editor in Queenston. The Niagara Parks Commission which has a good steady income from /power rentals, is going to restore the old building and fit it up yith type and presses sini'iliar to those used by one of On­ tario’s first editors. Few other in­ dustries in Ontario have a history extending back as far as that.—-Fer­ gus News-Record. HURON COUNTY ROADS Ten additional miles of experimen­ tal salt roads are being constructed in Huron County this year, because a stretch built last year is giving good satisfaction, four miles between- Dungannon and Lucknow, just fin­ ished, has the appearan-ce of a new, smooth paved highway and in great favor with motorists. "It will take some years before we can put the final stamp of appro­ val on salt roads, but they are in­ finitely better and safer than the old gravel roads and cost only $200 per mile,” said County Engineer Roy Patterson. It was explained that the highway is saorified and a mixture of salt, clay and gravel rolled in. Last year 20 tons of salt to the mile was used. This year the ratio has been cut to 15 tons. The percentage of clay to gravel is six. The three-inch surface when- used becomes as hard as stone and is dustless. Huron County, already proud of its road system and with an unlimit­ ed supply of salt available, is aim­ ing and in a fair way to lead the (province in the matter of good roads SEAFORTH BARBER SHOPS PETITION COUNCIL A petition signed by the five local barbers in Seaforth has been pre­ sented to the council asking for a by-law to be passed governing the hours of closing. From now on the barber shops will close at 7.30 p.m. except Saturdays and days preceding a holiday. ST. MARYS HONORS CHILD Little Joan Wilson, St, Marys, who recently won a high place in Cana­ da’s Loveliest Child Competition was honored by t'he Mayor and Council of St. Marys at a Garden Party. Mayor Bonis presented Joan with a medal as a badge of distinction from the citizens of 'St. Marys. Research workers at the School of Agriculture, Cambridge, England have evolved a practical and relia­ ble method of measuring the soil compactness by firing bullets into the ground from a 0-45 army ser- ice revolver. CALIFORIANS ADMIRE OUR SCENERY" Mr. and Mrs. J. h. Clark (nee Mabel Gilfillan) of San Francisco, Calif,, who have been spending the summer u[p here, have returned from a visit to Toronto and points east and are staying at the Gilfillan farm at Kirkton. Two weeks ago- they were joined at Toronto by their friends, Mrs. 'Cook and Miss Cook of San [Francisco, and together they took a motor trip to Ottawa, Mont­ real and Quebec. They had a delight­ ful -trip and were greatly impressed with the Dominion capital and old Quebec. After their hot trip up from the south the Clarks have ap­ preciated the cooler weather of the past twe weeks. Mrs. Cook and Miss Cook are quite familiar with St. Marys having visited Mrs. Gilfillan Sr. here three years ago.—St. Marys Journal-Argus. INFECTION FATAL TO , HAY TOWNSHIP PUPIL At St. Joseph’s Hospital, London, t'he death occurred of Louise, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harrington Finkbeiner, of Hay Township. She was in her 12th year and had been ill for three weeks with an infection She is survived by her parents, two- small brothers, Howard and Maur­ ice; also 'her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Finkbeiner, of Crediton and Mr. and Mrs. 'Conrad Schilbe, of Zurich.
