The world has just passed through a critical period. Things

this same much-malingned class of people will save the armament

GAN YOU BEAT IT?
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.

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,

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.’
