PENNY BANK
We have noticed that the weekly
papers in reporting the deposits in
then Penny Bank in the schools for
this last period have noted the total
deposits for their schools have been
less in comparison with the year be
fore. Wingham school was also down.
The fact that our school had a
smaller amount on deposit is not a
serious m'atter as the percentage that
deposited was up 60 per cent, as
against 49 per cent,

Small amounts gradually grow to be
larger and then when winter comes
or some emergency arises there is
money ahead to buy clothes or meet
some other situation.
This is a splendid part of the school
training and as far as possible every
pupil should deposit each week no
matter how small the amount might
be.

when, to praise,”
Let us not forget tbit the miracles
wrought by the Lord were His cre
dentials, signs and evidence of His
person, His deity, His Messiabship
and Saviourhood. The Revised Ver
sion. translates the word “miracle” as
“sign” in a number of passages,
Unbelief—John’s troubled and hon
est doubt was not unbelief, But now
we come to1 that as we read that “the
Pharisees and lawyers rejected the
counsel of God against themselves,
being not baptized of Him.” They
were self-centred, conscious of no
need, not, real believers in God, re
jecting and hating His Son- By their
own attitude and action they were
condemned to eternal death. That is
the penalty of deliberate, persistent
uneblief, for “he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God” (John 3:18.)
Faith—The closing incident of the
chapter brings us to another “great
faith”—not of a righteous man, but
of a sinful woman. She came to the
feet of the Lord Jesus as He was at
supper in the home of a self-right
eous and unbelieving pharisee. She
showed her repentance and her faith
in the Lord by her reverent love and
worship. The Lord could not forgive
orders, therefore he knew that the
Lord need speak but a word and
bring to pass a miraculous healing,
The Lord, hearing this message,
marvelled. He turned to the Jews and
said: J

but miraculously and instantly, even
at a distance, He healed the sick man.
“And they that were sent, returning
to the house, found the servant whole
that had b’een sick.”
Here was simple, direct, deep and
unquestioning faith in Christ.
Saviour always loves to honour
faith. '
Love—The following day the

as He approached, ”a dead man was

not the 'intercession of friends, but

Oriental people are scrupulously
careful not to touch a corpse or a
bier; yet the Lord Himself “came and
touched the bier.” The bearers stood
still—doubtless in shocked amaze

The people were fear-stricken
“they glorified God, saying . . ,

- Doubt—John the Baptist, the fore
runner of Christ, commissioned to do
a great and mighty work, was in pri
son. He had been cast into prison
by the adulterous Kii'ig Herod be
cause he had dared to rebuke the
king for his sin. It was not easy for
the herald of Jesus Christ, who had
had a nation-wide following, to be
set aside, and then apparently ignor

proclaimed. We can understand why
John sent friends to the Lord with
the question: “Art Thou He that
should come, or look we for anoth
er?”
Here was honest, troubled doubt
on the part of a true servant of God,
The .Lord Jesus made no answer.
But in the presence of John's mes
sengers, “in that same hour He cur
ed many of their infirmities and plag
ues, and of evil spirits; and unto many
that were blind He gave sight, Then
Jesus answering said unto them, ‘Go
your way, and tell John what things
ye have seen and heard; how that the
blind see, the lame Walk, the lepers
are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead
are raised, to the poor the gospel is
preached.’ ”
So the Lord had answered John’s
question, after all, And answered it
convincingly, conclusively, When the
messengers had gone back' to John
with their answer, the Lord paid a
glowing tribute to the greatness of
the imprisoned prophet, saying: “Am

there is not a greater prophet than
John the Baptist.” As Dr. Scofield
says: “Having gently removed His
servant’s doubts, the Lord bears wit

PROGRESSIVE EX-STUDENTS
Again this year we received a copy
of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute
Alumni Year Book. It is a truly
worthwhile edition and one of the
best published in Canada despite the
fact that Seaforth is not a large cen
tre.
It would be impossible for a school
the size of the Seaforth Collegiate
to publish such a book but with a
well organized Alumni this is made
possible. Seaforth can be justly proud
that they have such an organization
which apparently carries on most of
the work in connection with this fine
year book.
Premier Aberhart is a graduate of
the Seaforth Collegiate and a history
of his life is <^ne of the interesting
articles.
We wish to congratulate the stud
ents of the Seaforth school and the
Alumni on the publication of this
splendid volume.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
JESUS HELPS A DOUBTER
Sunday, Feb. 16—Luke 7.
There are five sharply etched pic
tures in this seventh chapter of
Luke’s Gospel—Faith, Love, Doubt,
Unbelief, Faith.
Faith—A Gentile was going to
show more faith in Christ than any
one, so far, of .all God’s chosen peo
ple Israel to whom Christ' came. This
Gentile was a military man, a Rom
an centurion, or captain of one hund
red soldiers. He had a favorite ser
vant who “was sick and ready to die.”
The centurion had heard of the Lord
Jesus, and sent Jewish elders be
seeching that He “would come and
heal his servant,” These Jews urged
this, saying that the centurion was a
worthy man, for “he lovest our na
tion and he hath built us a syna
gogue.”
The Roman officer was a humble
man as well as worthy and devout,
and he sent word:-“Lord, trouble not
Thyself, for I am not worthy that
Thou shouldest enter under my roof
. . . but say in a word, and my serv
ant shall be healed.” He added, very
respectfluly, that he himself knew
what it was to take orders and give

fed with an eye dropper.
Its care requires half the

And it is but one of a

t^tO-ONE but a mother can know the
IN tremendous amount of work involved
in satisfying the needs of an infant or a
young child, for evein one day.
Attending a sick or injured child for a
day in the Hospital for Sick Children de
mands still greater effort ... painstaking
. . . patient . . . alert . . . ever-watchful.
In addition, it requires the greatest pos-
sible degree of medical skill and nursing
efficiency.
Multiply this one-day effort by 17, which
is the average number of days each Public
\yard patient is treated. Then multiply by
8,200, which is the number of patients ad
mitted to the Hospital during one year. The
result is a staggering total, measuring as
eloquently as cold figures can, the tremen
dous volume of personal effort demanded
from the Hospital Staff.
Despite the fact that the treatment and
nursing of children requires such a high,
degree of proficiency from every angle, the
costs of the Hospital for Sick Children are
kept at very low. levels. Even so, the Pro
vincial and Municipal grants and all other
revenue are inadequate to meet the cost.
Unfortunately, too, we have no large
group of patients who pay high fees — 400
of our 420 beds being in Public Wards.
An annual deficit cannot be avoided if
proper care and attention is to be given
needy little ones. It is because we believe
you would not want us to turn away any
child, broken in health or body, that we
appeal annually to the public to make up
the deficit.
This year, we must raise $70,000.00.
We appeal to you for a donation — as
large as your circumstances permit — 25c.
$1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00 —, no amount is
too great . . . none too small. •
