UNIFORM TRAFFIC LAWS
At a meeting of Dominion and Pro
vincial Government representatives
some time this summer there will be
• considered traffic laws tor the Do
minion.
This is a step in the right direc
tion and should do much to stop the
^ever-increasing highway accidents. It
will also make it a greater pleasure
for motorists who pass from one pro
vince to the other.
Last year at such a meeting a spec
ial committee submitted a series of
eleven recommendations which were
adopted by the conference as a whole.
It is hoped that this year the work
will be completed so that traffic laws
throughout the Dominion will be uni
form.

‘CAN YOU HELP?
The Neighborhood Workers’ As
sociation of Toronto are this year
flooded with requests from parents
who cannot afford to give their child
ren a much-needed change. The soc
iety reports that the number of ap
plications outnumber the invitations
3>y three to one.
In asking friends to open their
homes to unfortunate children the as
sociation does not expect an elabor
ately planned holiday. What they
want is the opportunity of sending
one or two children to a home which
will provide a brief relief from their
hard existence.
Transportation to destination, with
in 150 miles, is supplied by the as
sociation. The children are all medi
cally examined so that they may be
accepted into homes with confidence.
If you can take one or two such
children into your home for a holiday
write the Neighborhood Workers’ As
sociation, 22 Wellesley Street, Tor-
■csnto. Accompanying your application
enclose a letter from a clergyman or
a prominent member of the commun
ity.
This is your opportunity to make
some kiddies happy and give him or
"her a chance to get away from the
hot city pavement for a short time.

Seven striking teaching points
stand out in the portion of this chap
ter that we study,
1. Persecution never stops the prea
ching of the Gospel, but multiplies it.
The Christians at Jerusalem were
“scattered abroad” by the persecution
and they went everywhere preaching
the word.”
2. As the Scofield Reference Bible
notes: “The Jews having rejected
Stephen's witness to, and of, them,
the Gospel now begins to go out to,
all nations. So persecution began to
fulfil Christ’s own prediction and
command; “Ye shall be witnesses un
to Me both in Jerusalem and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and. unto the
Uttermost part of the earth.”
3. The first city-wide revival in
Christian history now occurred. “Phil
ip went down to the city of Samaria
and preached Christ unto them. And
I the people with one accord gave heed
i unto those things which Philip
! spake.” Jonah’s preaching to Nine-
■ vah, in Old Testament times, trans-
• formed a great city completely; and
J other great cities have had similar
j experiences. Surely we should pray,
J in these dark and sinful days in which
! we live, that God may graciously send
t again city-wide revivals.
® 4. Miracles opened the people’s
< eyes and convinced them that Christ
I is Saviour. Incurable diseases of
many kinds were cured, and unclean
1 spirits were cast out of people. There
J is no sin, and no consequence of sin
j that God cannot overcome and cure,
i Spiritual miracles today, transforming
»
people’s lives, ary convincing evidence
that Christ is Saviour and Lord.
5. But large numbers are not al
ways the most important thing in
God's sight. While the great work in
Samaria was going on, and Philip was
the divinely commissioned leader, God
suddenly took him out of it all and
told him to “go toward the south un
to the way that goeth down from
Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is des
ert." There was just one man there
whom God wanted to reach, and Phil
ip was commanded to reach him. So
Philip was commanded to stop prea
ching the Gospel to multitudes and
give it to a single individual.
6. The Old Testament gives us the
same Gospel of salvation, to be re
ceived by faith in the shed blood and
death of Christ, that we find in the
New Testament.
There in the desert was a man of
Ethiopia, “of great authority” under
the Queen of the Ethiopians, “who
had the charge of all her treasure, and
had come to Jerusalem for worship.”
The Holy Spirit said to Philip: “Go
near, and join thyself to this chariot.”
The Ethiopian was sitting in his
chariot and reading from the Old
Testament book of Isaiah. “Under-
standest thou what thou readest?”
asked Philip.
“How can I, except some man
should guide me?” answered the Eth
iopian; and he asked Philip to join
him in the chariot and. explain the
Bible passage.
It was from the wonderful fifty-
third chapter of Isaiah. Some mod
ern critics of the Bible would tell us
that this chapter has no reference to
Christ, but simply describes Israel as
a nation. The Holy Spirithvho wrote
the Bible knows better than the crit
ics, and He tells us, through Philip,
what that chapter means. The Eth
iopian was reading the words: “Was
led as a sheep to the slaughter; and.
like a lamb dumb before his shearer,
so opened he not his mouth.” The
Ethiopian could not understand this,
and asked Philip of whom the proph
et was speaking—“Of himself, or of
some other man?” Philip’s answer,
directed by the Holy Spirit, leaves
us in no doubt; for “Philip opened
his mouth, and began at the same
scripture, and preached unto him Je
sus.” That chapter in Isaiah is a di
vinely inspired account of Jesus
Christ’s substitutionary death in the
place of sinners, that sinners might
be saved.
7. Salvation, by the new birth from
above, can be received instantaneous
ly by simple faith in Christ as Sav
iour.
..The Ethiopian’s heart was ready
and eager to receive the truth, ‘and
to receive Christ as his personal Sav
iour. There was no argument, no
shallow and superficial reasoning
against the truth, such as we often
hear today. He heard the Word of
God, and he believed, and he asked
Philip to baptise him. The chariot
was stopped, “They went down both
into the water,” for a soul had been
born again.
It must have been a strange, unique
experience for Philip, for we read that
the Spirit of the Lord caught away
Philip,’ ’and perhaps he and the Eth
iopian never saw each other again in
this life. But they had begun a friend
ship and a fellowship that will never
end, and they have doubtless remin
isced together about that wonderful
day, while in the presence of the
Lord.
The Ethiopian “went on his way
rejoicing,” and probably became an
evangelist to his own nation, which
may be one of the .reasons why Eth
iopia has been nominally Christian
through the centuries.

The Wingham Hurons cinched a
play-off berth m the Bruce League
Southern group by hammering out a
9-3 win over the Kincardine Pene-
tangs on the latters’ diamond Wed
nesday last week. The game was
played under very peculiar conditions,
a very high wind and poor visibility
making playing difficult. The Hurons
seemed to benefit most by the wind,
several wind-blown balls falling for
extra bases. The Braves had little
i difficulty getting to Carrol Cox while
| Chalmers coasted along nicely behind
a good lead, striking out twelve and
I allowing only seven very scattered
hits.
I The Kincardine park, in the first
•stage of improvement for the big pro
game Aug. 4th, presented some hard
going for the outfielders, the pasture
being covered with loose “black
muck”. Considerable time and money
will have to be spent on the grounds
yet, if the game is going to be a suc
cess.
The Braves scored a pair of runs
to start them off in the second. Dor-
an looped a hit over second and re
mained on first while Irwin popped
to third. Carmichael then drove a
hard single to centre which got by

this time their last one. Harry
Thompson drew a pass to start the
inning and took second while Pollard
was striking out. Parker then came
through with a hit to left to score
Thompson but Chalmers bore down
to strike out Munro and Cox.
Some lusty clouting added another
trio of runs to the Hurons’ gcore in
the sixth. Chalmers greeted Cox with
a terrific drive to right and lumbered
all the way around before the ball
got back to the infield. Thompson
immediately plastered one in the oth

Wingham 20 - Fordwich 3
On Monday evening the game be
tween Fordwich and the Central
League team at the Town Park was
a very one-sided affair. The local
gang had their batting eyes in good
shape and this, coupled with beau
coup errors by the Fordwich infield,
netted them 20 runs. The best Ford
wich could do was cross the plate 3
times, “Doc” Campbell started on the
mound fol- Fordwich, but with the
score 18 to 2 in the fifth he gave up
the ghost. Gibson took his place and
did well, striking out 5. Bill Groves
pitched nicely for the local bunch for
five innings, allowing but 7 hits, A.
Scott pitched the last three innings
arid only one run was scored with him
on duty. He struck out six.
This was the last scheduled game
for Wingham and they lead the league
with 8 wins and 2 losses. However,
they have a tie-game and a postponed
game with Brussels, one here and one
in Brussels, which may have to be
played if they will make any differ
ence to the standing.
