James Gardiner, Federal Minist­ er of Agriculture, Met Farmers Hon. James Gardiner, federal min­ ister of agriculture, attended a two- day conference at London with West­ ern Ontario farmers Friday and Sat­ urday, made two promises. He told the 2,000 farmers who came to his parley that he would recommend to his Government 17-cent cheese and a minimum price for butter. What the blitter "bottom” will be depends on decision of his department this com­ ing summer. The 17-cent rate for cheese includes quality premiums and approximates an increase of three- fifths of a cent a pound on all cheese. These were Mr. Gardiner’s only con­ cessions. Farmers were disappointed to learn from the minister that neither he nor his Government had any intention of altering the hog situation, and to hear him declare the Government was op­ posed to any increase in hog produc­ tion, Mr. Gardiner warned them such action would “glut the home market.” When they left the conference they were a far from satisfied group of far­ mers. The Ontario minister, Hon. Dewan, declared that he had followed Mr. Gar­ diner’s remarks with interest, but that in some regards, he was disappointed, and he reiterated his earlier point that the farmers were being made to bear undue sacrifices. THE QUIET HOUR THE PRICE OF LIBERTY “The spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him” Mark 9: 26. And so the evil spirit was expelled, but only at the price of a great con­ vulsion. It is always the same. Spir­ itual tyrants do not relinquish their thrones with a struggle. The pangs of emancipation were so severe that it seemed as if escape into freedom Was worse than the misery of bond­ age. And that is one of the antagon­ isms always encountered by every cru- sade which seeks the cause of liberty, The devil cries and rends the victim sore; and sometimes the onlooker and even the victims are inclined to say "Better tn have left It alone.” "Better to have borne the ills we had than to pass to something which is possibly worse.” So the remedy seems worse than the disease and the oppression ‘I TO PREACH IN BAPTIST CHURCH ON SUNDAY Professor R. J. McCracken, M. A., B.D., came to McMaster Uni­ versity, Hamilton, from Glascow, Scotland, a little over two years ago. He serves the University in the field of Christian Theology and Philosophy. Professor Mc­ Cracken is a brilliant scholar, an able preacher, and a capable ad­ ministrator. By his fine qualities of heart and mind he has endear­ ed himself to a great many con­ gregations, who have had the op­ portunity to hear him, and to the students who are privileged to sit under him. He will preach in the Baptist Church here, at 7 p.m., Sunday, January 19th. Professor’R. J. McCracken of Egypt is preferred to the hardship of the wilderness. But if we desire a rich and fruitful victory, it cannot be gained without sore and rending struggle. There can be no large emancipation without an agony. Bonds cannot be loosed with­ out inflicting wounds. History teach­ es us that lesson. No great social evil has ever been expelled without a struggle. When the watchword of em­ ancipation rang through the Northern States, the evil spirit of slavery vest­ ed itself more firmly on its throne, and held its victims in firmer grasp. All the powers of hell seemed to be mobilized and “expulsion” was a rav­ ing, tearing business. The "evil of narcotics cannot be expelled as one might throw a chain out of a window, and just as soon as a battle cry is sounded against the liquor business and against gambling, we behold the consolidation of vested interests, and th& cry goes up "profits first,” Evil spirits never calmly accept their note of dismissal. They fight like tigers for their lairs. Deliverance cannot be ef- fected’save Only through grim fight- ing and many will be the “wounds”,, and deep will be the "rents” ere that deliverance will be enjoyed. The same is true in the individual life. Moral freedom cannot be. purch­ ased as easily as we can obtain a pass­ port over the counter. It is a tremen­ dous business to expel a well-housed and well-established evil spirit from, any life. Even when the Lord com­ mands the expulsion there is a fearful reluctance, a determined clinging to its polluted throne, and a grim deter­ mination to hold its socereignty to the very end, Let it be. noted that the evil spirit, which was being expelled by the Lord exerted the utmost force of its des­ tructive strength at the very moment of its expulsion. It threw its'victim up­ on the ground and he was as one dead. But the Lord knew better^ and taking him by the hand, picked him up and gave him back to his father. Yes, sometimes the deadliest strug­ gle is just before the final triumph. E. G.
