Word has just come to us that in one of our Ontario cities, folk driving cars are receiving relief from the city and from the government. From still another city comes word that scrip issued for relief is being turned in for cigarettes. That is not all, for a great many are gravely arguing that cigarettes are a necessity and urge that scrip should be used therefor. Indeed, so far has this thing gone that folk are in favour of giving relief funds for cigaret­ tes, even though children should go short on milk. So there you are. This tiling -of giving relief is a wonderful thing and is carried out in a fearful and wonderful way. ******** -LOSING POPULATION We are credibly informed that the following western, cities five years, viz. Winnipeg, Port- Boniface, Brandon and have lost population during the last age La Prairie, Swift Current, -St', toon. This makes very bad reading. Saska- In spite of all that the sion may have to do with this state of affairs, this lack of in population does not tell of healthy conditions in any way, shape, form or degree. This situation requires immediate and thorough investigation. A young country like Canada cannot afford not to increase in population and to increase rapidly. Especially do we require an increase in the numbei’ of the native born. ******** depres- growth A PITY It seems a pity that the present prosperity among certain classes is due to armament construction. We enjoyed a long period of prosperity on their continent because of money lavished on rail­ roads and similiar works, many of which were not acutely needed. The period between 192'9 and 19-3 6 tells the consequence of that folly. What will follow the present lavish outlay for purposes that are absolutely non-productive, let people consider and guide their affairs accordingly. Our present expenditure is much like the town obliged to expend large sums for fire-fighting apparatus. We jnust have the armaments or run grave risks of losing the civilization so laboriously established during thousands of years. The expendi­ ture on arms, however, is economically non-productive and brings with it certain inevitable economic losses, Always the favourite J £ J ' PURlTjmOUF BestfJi&cill your Bakind PF136 SHIPKA con- EIRE AT GODERICH GO'DERICH—The municipal store­ house on the lot adjoining the town hall on East street, was gutted by fire early Tuesday morning of last week and damagee of more than $•3,500 done to building and tents.

DELBRIDGE, Representative, EXETER Sunday School Lesson BECQMING A CHRISTIAN Sunday, Oct., 11.—|Alcts 1:6:1'6-40; Phil. 3:7-14. Golden Text Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved. Act 16:31. Paul gave up all that he had for Christ—(because Christ gave up all that He had for Paul, When we face the question of surrendering all to God, let us never forget that God surrendered all for us. The first surrender in time and eter­ nity, and the greatest, was God’s not man’s. Paul tells of his own surrender in the lesson pasasge in Philippians 3; but he has already told of Christ's surrendering in Philippians 2:5-8, when the Son of God surrendered, or laid aside, the glory He had had from all eternity with the Father, "took upon Him the form of a servant,’’ becoming a man, "humbled Himself, and be­ came obedient unto death, even the death of the cross”. How strange­ ly and unreasonably ungrateful is any Christian who, having accepted God’s great surrender and sacrifice, holds back from surrendering all to Him who redeemed, and bought, and paid for us with His own pre­ cious blood. But the surrender Paul describes in Philippians 3, as he declares "what things were gain to me, those I counted lost for Christ,” could only come after Paul had become a Christian. Unsaved persons cannot surrender to Christ as Lord, but -only those who have been born again by faith in Him as their personal Saviour. The chapter in Acts tells us, dramatically but very simply, how any one may become a Chris­ tian—that is, may be saved. If we need to be saved, it means that, unless we are saved, we are lost. Let us make this very plain to our classes. Paul and Silas, missionaries, were having exciting and dangerous times Their true Christian testimony cut right across certain "vested inter­ est.” A young slave woman -was making plenty of money for her masters because she possessed, or was possessed by "a spirit of divina­ tion," and people paid money to hear soothsaying or fortune-telling. This uncanny, supernatural power was the result of demon possesssion Demon possession is named and de­ scribed repeatedly in the Bible, and is just what the words mean; A hu­ man being is indwelt, and mastered by, an evil spirit or demon. The Lord recognized this over and over again, and cast out such spirits from demon-possessed people wild were brought to Him. But the demons often have to recognize God and Christ whether they want to or not. This young girl, following Paul and other mis­ sionaries, kept crying out: "These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.’’ Finally Paul tu-rued and by the authority and the power of his Sav­ iour and Lord, said to the spirit: "I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” We read that the spirit "came out the same hou-r." That was the end of the fortune-teller’s weird powers and money-making. Her owners, outrag­ ed by their money loss, accused Paul and Silas before the Magis­ trates, with the result that the mis­ sionaries were beaten with many stripes and thrown in prison. At midnight their backs bleeding and acheing, their feet fast in the stocks, what did Paul and Silas do? Break down in tears and utter dis­ couragement? No. First they prayed and then their hearts were so filled to overflowing with the joy of the- Lcird that they "sang praises unto God.’’ There is the miracle of tho Christian life. Many another Chris­ tian martyr, in prison for his faith, has had the same experience. God had not forgotten them and "suddenly there was a great earth­ quake.’’ The prison foundation were shaken, all the doors were flung open, every prisoner’s shackles fell off, and the jailer, suddenly awak­ ened from sleep and seeing what had happened, “drew out his sword and would have killed himself, sup­ posing that the prisoners had been fled.” He knew his life would be the forfeit. Paul stopped the would-be suicide crying out, "with a loud voice, say­ ing. Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.” A strange thing followed. The man. called .for a light came into the pris­ on cell trembling fell down before Paul and iSilas, brought them out, and then cried out in agony: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” Perhaps the jailer had heard the preaching of the missionaries before this. At any rate, he was utterly convicted of his sin and his lost condition. There came the comfort­ ing, wonderful, set simple word of the Gospel: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be sav­ ed, and thy house.” The Gospel was preached to the whole household, the jailer took the prisoners "the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes.” Then he was baptized, he ajjd his entire household and there wasH^y and rejoicing both in heaven and. earth that night* Is your whole family saved? God. authorizes us to claim the salvation of all our loved ones. Believing, "thou shait ’be saved and thy house.’ Sudden and Distressing Attacks" of Diarrhoea At this time' of the year everyone dr less, to^sudden attacks dysentery, cramps alia pMns in thjteJSSwms, summer complaint and othbr loosonaaa^fRTO bowels.
