Any tmoccupidd the CROSSED EYES A HEALTH SERVICE OF « THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA medanism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism and many other religion# were all true ways of seeking and finding the one true God, and that Christian missionaries ought to re- cognize this, and not suppose that Christianity has anything of exclus­ ive or unique value to offer heathen lands. The Lord Jesus Christ, and the whole Bible, Old Testament and New, have a very different message. The Son of God, says that He is the door, and the only door, through which men can enter -.into salvation. The. night before He was crucified He said: "I am the way,* the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Fa­ ther, but by Me” (John 14:6). After Christ’s death and resurrection, Pet­ er boldly proclaimed of Him:; Neith­ er is there salvation in any other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be paved” (Acts 4:12). And Paul gives the same truth by inspiration; "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 2:5). The Good Shepherd who Himself is the only-door into eternal life was able to open that door only at the cost of His own life. “The thief com­ eth,” he said, “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." But how is this possible? "The Good Shep­ herd giveth His life for the sheep." The Saviour had to die, that sin­ ners might live. “I lay down My life for the sheep.” That is the mystery, the . wonder, and the glory of the Atonement. There are three Shepherd psalms, * t all looking forward by prophecy to fore, are thieves and robbers of men’s ■ Christ as the only Shepherd of souls, souls.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him.” True believers, God’s own children, know the difference between false religions, false religious teach­ ers, and their own true Shepherd and Saviour. Now the Lord Jesus Changes the figure and make this tremendous claim for Himself: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of sheep. All that ever came before are thieves and sheep did not hear door: by Me if any shall be saved.” How many doors there? It is a popular there are many different ways of get­ ting to heaven. A large and impress­ ive volume was published a few years ago, of wide circulation, containing a report of a group of religious lead­ ers, and entitled “Rethinking Mis­ sions;” a dominant note running through this large volume was that “all religions are ways to God." It contended that Buddhism, Moliam- Crossed eyes ean be cured and no phild should be* allowed to go through life suffering a tremendous handicap because competent medical advice was not sought to correct this condi­ tion. Questions concerning‘Health, ad­ dressed to the Canadian Medical As­ sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter, Golden Text I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the Sheep. (John 10:11.) There are many different religions in the world, and there always have been, but there is only one way of salvation. “Jesus the Good Shepherd” tells us about that one and only way; and in speaking of sheep and the shepherd He uses two different fig­ ures. “He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that enteretn in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.” In this figure He speaks of Himself, as the shepherd, going in by the door and not, as thieves and robbers do, by some other way. The thieves and robbers of which our Lord is speaking are the false religions, They do not approach men by the God-ordained, way, the onljr way of salvation, God’s divinely pro­ vided door. False religions, there- .- . 1 i i I robbers: but them, man into j ence Bible, has the following illum- -.1 - s* sheep by The shepherd work of our Lord him for Jias three aspects: (1) As the “Good" Shepherd He gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11), and is therefore “the door" by which “if any man en­ ter in he shall be saved” (John 10: 9). This answers to Psalm 22. (2) He is the “Great” Shepherd “Jirought again from the dead” (Heb. .13:20), to care for and make perfect the sheep. This answers to Psalm 23. (3) He is the “Chief” Shepherd who is coming in glory to give crowns of reward to the faithful shepherds (1 Pet. 5:4).

Skelton & Son at West End Bridge—WALKERTON Children may be born with cross­ ed eyes or develop them before the age of eight years, rarely after that age. In the past, parents were advis­ ed to do nothing about the condition until the child was about 14 years old because the eyes sometimes be­ came straight. Modern science, how­ ever, has shown this to be very poor advice. The child does not use the eye that is turned and the delicate nerves in the back of the eye do not develop because the eye is not used. So in time the affected, eye becomes blind. It is most important, there­ fore, that treatment be started as soon as the condition is recognized. No child with crossed eyes should be allowed to reach the school age without proper corrective treatment. A child with a squint suffers the jeers of his playmates and is some­ times regarded as mentally subnorm­ al. The effect of this is harmful and the child may develop an inferiority complex. If you think that your baby’s eyes arc not straight, seek the advice, of* your family doctor. Sometimes the bridge of the baby's nose is very wide so that more of the white of the eye is seen on the outside of the colored part than on the niside. This gives the appearance of squint although the eyes are straight. The eyes, for proper examination, must be tested with drops which en­ large the pupils. The Doctor will .likely advise covering- the good eye for a certain period each day so that the child "ill be forced to use the eye that is turned to develop its sight. Certain eye exercises will also help to develop the vision. Some-I times glasses wilt straighten the eyes, | but if they do not become normal in: six months, it is wise to have them straightened by a slight operation by a competent eye surgeon, INDIAN CELEBRATES 109th BIRTHDAY Siimm Commanda, Nipissing re­ serve Indian, who celebrated his 100 birthday, Feb. 4.
