1 Tim^^:6-1(6; 16; 2 Tim. 4:16-18,
Topic for Young People and Adults
.golden Te^t 2 Tim. 4:7
“Transmitting the Gospel Heritage”
The counsels that we look at in
the verses that we study today are
4 from an old man to a young one.
And in giving some of them the .old
man knew, that he was giving his
last message to his young friend, and
was destined to' .pass out of this mor
tal life in a few short days at most.
Under such circumstances we would
expect the words spoken to be sin
cere and earnest and instinct with
all the wisdom and thoughtfulness
and kindly feeling hat would find a
place in the heart of a man like the
apostle to the Gentiles. For several
reasons Paul had a great love for
Timothy. He called him his son in
the Gospel and had great hopes of
the good he would do as a minister
of the Gopel of Jesus Christ. There
fore he was specially eager to' leave
a message with him that would
make his faith strong and his life
useful for all the years to come.
'Standing at the close of a life
such as he had lived, a life of .hard
ship it is true, but a life also full of
rich and regarding experiences, it is
very interesting to note what his
judgment in regard to life was, and
what were the things that he
^thtffitht to be important and that he
felt impelled to talk to this young
friend of his about. It may not be
easy to single out all the matters
that he lays emphasis upon, but in
■general we can easily see that he ex
horts Timothy to' .high idealism, un
selfishness, courage, devotion to his
work, and unquenchable zeal
Athe cause of his .Master. As he

lim-
seir, ana even mentions some of the
hardships that coe to him, but he
was an old man now, and he had
been suffering, and he can be for
given for turning his thoughts that
way a little. The remarkable thing
is that under the circumstances, the
chief thing he does is to try to en
courage and inspire and direct his
young friend, and call him to a spirit
of devotion and high endeavor.
With life just .flyer and his days
drawing to a swift close, this won
derful man Paul is as mull convinc
ed of the worth-jwhileness of living
the Christian life and of the devo
tion of oneself to its duties and re-,
sponsibilities as he was when he was
living in the very thick of things.
The enterprise hadn’t (played out at
all, he hadn’t anyi regrets for the
way he had given himself up to
even though it had meant much
suffering and hardship, and that
was likely to mean the crowning
all that with martyrdom in a few
days or hours. Surely the message
he left with Timothy, and that he
leaves with us as well, is, that the
good life is not likely to be the dis
appointing life. Looking back over
it had brougli him, he commends it
to his young friend with all sorts
of enthusiasm and the very best and
finest wish he can have fop him
that he might devote himself to
without any--question or reserve,
surely meant much for Timothy,
ought to mean very much for us, that
from the far end of life Paul was
able to say that the finest thing he
did was to give himself up to a life
of service and devotion.to the cause
of his .Master. ,

PINE
SYRUP
COUR
W. C. T. U.
The monthly meeting of the
W. iC. T. U. was held in Main Street
Church on Thursday afternoon' No
vember 19th. Miss Hogarth led the
devotional exercises with Mrs. E. J.
Miners reading the scripture lesson.
Great sorrow was expressed that
Mrs. Amy, who was a loved and val-
used member had passed away. The
roll call was answered by the read
ing of some of the mottoes on blot
ters purchased for the use of pupils
in the Exeter school and a motion
was passed that these blotters be
also given to schools in the sur
rounding districts. Some of the blot
ters were "In the keen fight which
awaits youth, there is no place for
brains made dull and fingers .clumsy
iby alcohol." and ‘‘To say no to liq
uor is a sign of independence. It de
velops power, grit, determination
and power," and “To put alcohol in
the human brain, is like putting sand
in the bearings of an engine. Both
will stop (Working".
Plans were made for a medal con
test in the early part of 'the New
Year.
Mrs. W. C. Pearce continued the
report of the Provincial Convention
held at Guelph recently part of which
was given last month.
The L. T. L. of the city put on a
very fine program of temperance
songs and recitations at one of the
evening gatherings and excellent
numbers were contributed by mem
bers of the Y. In the report of the
gnti-narcotic dept, it .was stated
that the sale of cigarettes had doub
led in. the last six years. This is one
evidence of the moral let down of
young women. Men say "if we can
get girls to smoke we can get them
to drink.”
Mrs. Livingstone of Brookville
said that there is a jail just across
from the church which she attends
she asked herself, "what can I do”
and resolved that she would visit
the .prisoners. It .was some time
before she obtained permission, but
after she did, she carried on the
work faithfully and many were led
back to the fpld of the Good Shep
herd. She found that a large ma
jority of the prisoners attributed
their wrong doing to alcoholic drink.
It was mentioned that a W.lC.T.U.
program is given over CK'LW every
Wednesday at 3.30.
In the address of the retiring
• president Mrs. E. T. Kerr spoke es-
(pecially of the efforts of the liquor
trade to lure women into using alco
holic liquors. Recently a New York
,whisky magazine advised the trade
to devote one week each month of
displays with women customers in
“Attract them to your shops, sug
gest recipes for using liquor in. cook
ing. "‘It is the teaching you do now
for your younger generation." A
speaker at a Brewers’ Association
said recently "that it is going to in
crease the amount of beer consum
ed by women in the future."
While such efforts are being made
surely Christian (wiomen should take
a decided stand against the drink
traffic in any form.
On Thursday evening Rev. R. L.
McTavish D.D;, of Hamilton, gave
an excellent address which held the
large audience in. rapt attention. His
subject was "Present Conditions in
Ontario Due to Beverages Rooms"
He said “The beverage room legis
lation was promoted by the Conser
vatives and adopted by the Liberals,
without .public sanction.. And now
that evidence has been piled up
against it, we are refused the rights
of democracy to express our judg-
in a .referendum. The present liq
uor legislation is a pratical dictator
ship.” "The greatest battle for lib
erty. that ,we have ever had is ahead
of us7 against a fat and flourishing
liquor traffic in the interests of
youth that is being debauched, of
business that is being amined, of the
Kingdom of God this is being
thwarted.”
'The next meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. Geo. Kerslake.

GOOD NEWS
Not for some years past have Canadian business prospects been
as encouraging at the first of December as they are this year. Manu
facturers and wholesalers report incoming .orders as highly satis-,
factory. Retailers report that times are ‘better in 193 6 than they
were last year by at least ten per cent. Farmers are not only pay
ing ulp old debts, but they are buying freely, as -is their .custom,
when they are advantaged by good .sales. Western wheat is flowing
in a steady stream towards a satisfactory market. Ship owners find
ocean shipping in a healthy condition. Manufacturers and electrical
workers are busy above preceding years. The mining industry is
prosperous. Neswisiprint has increased in 'production, this year’s
output establishing a new high level.

THEIR STANDARD
"These aer my jewels," said the Roman..matron in Rome’s im
perial day, as she pointed to her sons. But all that is changed in
Europe nowadays. (Stanley Baldwin well knows that his country
would be neither prosperous nor safe were she to think of the white
chalk) cliffs of England as her boundary. 'She must look to the
.Rhine as her border for Germany now has much to say about the
safety of London and Manchester. When German .children ask for
butter they are told that men-devouring cannon must be provided
first: When Italian women ask for cotton for children’s' clothing
they are told that cotton is required to manufacture high explosives
wherewith to blow to atoms men and their best productions. No
longer do' many dominant nations of Europe regard hats and suits
and food and machinery for workmen as necessities or as the stan
dards of efficiency. Merchantmen sweeping the seven seas in pur
suit of commerce are not regarded as a br-,’rr'»tor of national pres
tige.. No, what many nations now .proud' -'"mar

CLIP THIS
We wonder what readers of civilzations newspapers in L98|6 will
have to say pf the present generation when they71 read the following
extract from the Manchester’ 'Guardian, regarding the present social
and ecoinic condition of .Germany?
‘‘.Butter is not the only luxury that must be sacrificed to the
greater need of guns. A message from Berlin explains that hats,
umbrellas, babies’ clothes, towels and carpets are among the articles
which are not to be sold more cheaply at the January sales in Ger
many, for, were such a state of affairs to be allowed, less cotton
would find its way into' explosives The bowler .hat, more emblama-
tic of peace than even the olive branch, apparently contains ingred
ients which make it anti-social wihen the eyes of the State are turned
towards rearmament. Oddly enough, flags are also on the “no-re-duc-
tions" list, but perhaps all Germans are by this time well enough
equipped with 'figs, and it would hardly be patriotic to buy a Swasti
ka at a bargain sale. We are rearming in England, too, and if, next
January, English shoppers are as usual offered the opportunity to
purchase ".greatly reduced' umbrellas and baby clothes, the contrast
will possibly be saluted 'in 'Germany as yet another example of this
country’s unfair share of the world’s raw materials”.

LEAVE THAT TO HIM
Advice aplenty is being given to Mr. C. George McCullagh, the
owner and publisher, of the Globe and Mail. Mr. McCullagh is warn
ed that lie is a young and inexperienced man. Well all he has to
on the score of youth is to keep on living. As regards experience,
we can assure Mr. MclCullagh’s friends that the publishing business
stands second to none in giving anyone who enters thereupon a
whole lot of experience that is at least hot enough to burn. Then
the new publisher is warned that the politicians of this country are
a iwily lot who have the way of getting even a smart man’s goat. Al
ready thesekieen-eyed birds are looking for the new journalist’s nan
ny. (So- far, these sympathisers point out, Mr. McCullagh has been
quite a lion, but assure, (him that his roar will soon take on the tones
of a plaintive lamb. (Has lie not already, they point out, been seen
wining and dining with the most deeply dyed leaders of one party,
the leaders of the other party, meanwhile, cooling their heels out
side. They say, anyone who has been inside the Globe office is a
grit, a grit nothing more and nothing less and nothing .other. Well,
we’ll leave “the pore young feller” to make his way. .'So far he has
cuffed the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune with some fair
degree of success. Then when the politicians of this fair land tell
him what to do, he may tell them where to go. But we’ll see. We
leave all that to him. He has our .good wishes to soar where others
have plodded to win outstanding success where some wise and great
ones .have failed completely, if gloriously.
FOREST MAN CHARGED AT
GODERICH WITH TAKING
TRACTOR AND GANG PLOW
After a court sitting of three hours
at Goderich on Thursday hearing
testimony, a week's adjournment
was ordered in the case of Daniel
Rankin, of Forest, charged by Jas.

1937. There was $100 cash paid,
down payment, and three notes giv
en, two of which were paid. When
the third note was unpaid on the al
legedly changed date, Rankin repos
sessed the machine. The Down bro
thers immediately laid a. theft charge

plainants, were Gordon Tennant,
Supreme Court registrar, London; I
George Carr, bailiff, Forest, and
