TO OUR HEARTS, MEMORIES ARE MORE DEAR, GOOD WISHES ARE MORE DEEP, MORE TRUE WHEN CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE.*► 4 * 4 35 MILES PER HOUR? It is reported unofficially that the Ontario Government is considering abolishing the 35-miles-an-hour speed limit. It is a well-known fact that practically every motorist breaks this ’law .almost every time he drives on the highways or other roads for that matter. A. law that is disregarded by almost everyone is of little use and. it is no wondei- the Government is consider­ ing a change in this respect. Speed is not the dominating factor in traffic accidents in our opinion. A person with present-day high-speed cars, good brakes, etc., has greater control over an automobile travelling at 50 miles per hour than in the old days speeding along at 20 miles. It is suggested that the act be stiff­ ened as to penalties for reckless driv­ ing. This is something that should be done but whether it would be ad­ visable to do away with the speed limit is a debatable question., The present 35-mile-an-hour rule however, is decidedly out of date. Observance of traffic rules, stop signs, etc., would make our highway much safe but the 35 mile rule should be relegated to the ash can because nobody pays any attention to it. * 4 * 4 DOBBIN TAKES A BACK SEAT What a thrill it was some years back to see a spanking horse or team .speed, along the streets or highways. Probably no creature has aided in the progress of our country more than the horse btjt the time has come when the faithful old steed is gradually but surely taking second place to the gas ■driven conveyances. It is called the march of time, this ever-changing condition, but there are many whose hearts are sad as they see the horse lose its. place of prom­ inence in our every-day life. The horse under skilful guidance -and training was almost human in the wgy it carried on its job. But time brings many changes and the com- merical use of the faithful dobbin is becoming less (lay by day. The one happy consolation is that there are still horsey people who love and care for a good driver or mount. Then there is the agriculturist who ■depends on these trusty srevants.

He said that if everyone in Toronto turned on their switches at the same time, the hydro commission would not have any pow­ er for the other 123 municipalities now served. “By cutting 100,000 horsepower illegally off the Niagara system peak,” declared the Ontario Conservative leader, “hydro can claim it has plenty of power to spare. If this was not done the commission would have no reserves of power— although it has contracts totalling 360,000 horsepower for Quebec pow­ er.” In commenting on Mr. Rowe's address, Stewart Lyon, chairman of the commission, said “we are publish­ ing honest figures and we are con­ tent to abide by them.” He declined to comment further. was taken over by the Intahan flying column which is occupying the west­ ern provinces of Emperor Haile Sel­ assie in the name of the King of Italy.

Christianity entered Europe when God changed Paul’s plans. Even the greatest, most consecrated, clearest visioned Christian missionary this world has ever known could not make his own missionary plans as well as God could make them ‘for him. Paul, with his fellow-missionaries, Silas, Timothy, and Luke, had been having great blessing in the apostle’s second missionary journey through cities and Provinces of what is called Asia Minor today. They then expect­ ed, and attempted, to go into/ other Provinces of that region, “but the Spirit suffered them not” (Acts 16:7). Paul made his plans; God changed them ;and the best of it was that Paul did not argue with God, as we some­ times do, but he immediately obeyed. Then came the memorable vision to Paul by night, as a' man appeared to him, and pleaded, “Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Thus the Gospel entered Europe, and most of this quarter’s lessons have told us of its testings and triumphs in what we call the Balkan States of today. A few of the outstanding teachings are the following: What is it to become a Christian? Becoming a Christian means getting saved—let us be in no doubt about that. Getting saved means being de­ livered from hell, the second death, the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14, 15), and spending eternity in the presence and fellowship of God. A Phillippian jail­ or, about to commit suicide because,a midnight earthquake had set Paul and Silas and other prisoners free, asked how he might become a Chrisitian. But he did not use those words; he cried out in agony: “Sirs what Aiust I do to be saved?” The missionaries’ answer was one of the most blessed and wonderful sentences ever spoken, They gave him the Gospel that Christ gave Nicode­ mus in John 3:16. “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Toronto Bans Slug Machines Toronto—Toronto Police Commis­ sion banned all slot machines paying slugs or merchandise and slugs.

The sin-convicted, despairing jailor did believe, and with him “all that were in his house,” and they were saved that very night. Instead of go­ ing to his death, and to the second death, a suicide, lie became a child of God, born again by faith in Christ as his Saviour, and the eternal life in which he is rejoicing today began for him that r.ight. It was to carr ythis message of sal­ vation that Paul became a missionary; that was his only reason for devoting the last thirty years of his life to mis­ sionary work, finally laying down his life as a Christian martyr. Let us never forget that this simple but all- sufficient Gospel is the only message and reason for all true Christian mis­ sionary work. The Gospel of salvation was based on “The of God, preached went, as and he showed from the Scriptures that Jesus of Nazareth was Israel’s Messiah and the Saviour of the world. Christianity spread because it is a message of love. “God is love,” and the Gospel tells us that “God so loved the world that He gave His only be­ gotten Son.” And true Christianity means tern- ■ perancc, or self-control. The Gospel | is the Good News, not only that God will save us from “the wages of sin” which is death ,but that He breaks the power of sin in our lives now hnd here. True self-control is Christ’s control of our lives stead of sin’s con­ trol. The Gospel is just as powerful and effective for1 the present as for the eternal, future. The passages in 'Hebrews gives us a divine review of the lessons of the quarter. We are told what sort of men and women the early Christians were, and also the true believers in Old Testament times, who committed their lives to completely to God by i faith i that they were empowered to I work' miracles .they had miraculous ! deliverances from violent death when God knew ibis was best, or they glad­ ly went down "into persecution and violent death when that was their call. Such truly heroic, believing men and women of past centuries and mil­ lenniums are the “so great a cloud of witnesses” compassing its about today. We can help to spread Chris­ tianity today, and we can live as they lived, only by “Looking unto Jesus,- the author and finisher of our faith.” Quebec Power Companies To Confer with Hepburn Reiterating his defense of his Gov­ ernment’s power contracts cancella­ tion course, Premier Hepburn brought MacLaren-Quebec under fire, charg­ ing that this concern was not above repudiatiing its own agreements with respect to the paper distribution busi­ ness. He also experssed the willing­ ness of his Government to consider any new overtures which the Quebec power companies may see fit to make with regard to the long and bitterly fought contracts cancellation issue. Represenatives of three of the Quebec power companies, whose original con­ tracts with Hydro were cancelled un­ der the Ontario Government’s repud­ iation legislation, expressed their reidness to meet with Premier Hep­ burn and his Cabinet to dsicuss the matter of possible new agreements. Vancouver Island to Secede Victoria, B.C.—Residents of Van­ couver Island debated whether to se­ cede from the Dominion of Canada and establish a monarchy over which former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Wallis Simpson would be invited to reign. The suggestion to give Edward a new throne came from William .H. Davies, real estate agent. “The idea has swept the city and gained enor­ mous popularity,” he said. H. D. Twigg, secretary of the Vancouver Island Provincial Association, organ­ ized last year to seek a “New Deal” for the Island from British Columbia, said his group was not interested in the monarchial plan.
