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. # * ❖ * A driver of a car near Woodstock “fell asleep at the wheel.

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. extra base KNOCKS ~ FEATURE TRIBE’S WIN Hurons Land on Cox’s Offerings to Win 9 . 3. s *s Maitland Creamery | |--------------------------8 S Buyers Of | J Cream, Eggs | I THE UNITED FARMERS’ CO-OPERATIVE ■ COMPANY, LIMITED. g ■ Wingham, * - Ontario. ■ Phone 271 J 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.

Mellor got a life and Mike scored when Fred’s roller got through Henry. Tiffin struck out and Chalm­ ers rolled out to end the inning. Kin­ cardine got one back in their half, Cassidy’s high fly falling safely back of first for a double after Cox had struck out, the first of three that Chalmers inflicted on Carol. Ander­ son drew a pass and both runners moved up on a passed ball, after which Henry popped ro ‘Chalmers. Cassidy scored when Pollard’s roller git by Bob Thompson but Harry Thompson was called out on strikes. The Hurons kept right on in the third, Thompson opening with a hard single to right and going to second on Sutherland’s bobble of Groves’ hard smash. A long smash over And­ erson’s head foi- a triple by Somers scored both runners, Ken scoring while Pollard was throwing out Dor­ an. The rally ended there when Mun­ ro made a fine catch of Gord Irwin’s low liner to left and Mike went down swinging. The Penetangs added an­ other in their- half on a double by Eddie Sutherland followed, by Mun­ ro’s single to right. Doran started the Tribe off again in the fifth with a double to right, the second of three hits by the big catcher.

Clifford 7 - Wingham 6 On Wednesday afternoon last week ! the locals lost in Clifford by the nar­ row margin of 1 run. It was, a six- innings affair and was anybody’s game right up to the last ball pitch­ ed. Angus did the hurling for the local gang with Anderson behind the bat. Binkley and Kruspe did mound duty for Clifford with Stroh on the receiving end. Batteries: Clifford, Binkley, Kruspe and Stroh; Wingham: Angus and Anderson.

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 er direction for three bases and scor­ ed when the throw-in got by Pollard. Groves popped to Parker but Suther­ land failed to field Somers’ hard drive to short. A single by Doran moved Somers to third from where he scor­ ed when Harry Thompson dropped Irwin’s fly, Carmichael and Mellor ended all scoring activities for the day by striking out.♦ * ♦ two base hits, Cassidy, Sutherland, Doran, Mellor, Munro; three base hits, Somers, R.

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.
