THE BIBLE TODAY
The Bible in magazine format is
proving to be a most popular , item
of literature, Portions 'are now
available in separate books, with 40
photographs and line drawings of
Bible lands; in many languages.
A representative, of the Bible
Society in India found that the
Gospel according to St, John sold
like the proverbial "hot\ cakes"
during the recent riots there. St.
Mark's Gbspel is now to be printed
in this forthat in eleven of the
main languages of this sub-contin-
eat,
A compilation of these Gospels
the Book of Acts, the Epistles and
Revelation, now forms a new edi-
tion of the New Testamenthr Eng-
lish. Over 500 illustrations• are in-
eluded,
The Bible text is set up in para-
I
graphs with verse markings includ-
ed, but not prominent. A. variety
of colunin widths and types are
used to make for easier reading.
Headings and sub-headings indi-
cate the contents throughout.
These attractive editions of Holy
Scripture indicate the return to
the early methods of Bible printing.
The Exhibition of "The Bible in
Print", currently being held at the
Royal Ontario Museum, Where an-
cient copies are displayed, shows
the 'great Bibles of history 'to be
"richly finished in a wide variety
of materials and colours, anything
but puritanical in dress".

On Friday of last week as Mr.
William Sellers, of the third line,
Morris, was leading a team of colts
through a gateway on the farm,
they ran away. They were attach-
ed to a wagon loaded with rails and
one of the Arils failing off startled
them. Mr. Sellers stayed at the
head for about 15 rods, but finding
himself powerless to stop them let
them go. They ran about 10 rods
further when they ran astride a
thorn bush. The wagon was' broken
in splinters, but the horses came
out unharmed
A very quiet wedding took place

hill. The ceremony was performed

HUMANS ARE HARD TO
SUPPRESS
The news which has leaked out of
communist countries during the past
few days indicates that the iron rule
of ilostons is not only unpleasant for
those who Ilear its weight — but much
more important, that the -yoke of hu-
man freedom cannot be forever stilled
no matter how harsh the tactics used.
In Poland and the Baltic countries
there appears to be unrest of such a
grave nature that troops have been
required to cope with the situation.
In our part of the world, where we
have known nothing but generations
of freedom, people find it virtually
impoisible to fully understand the
hard-pressed citizens of communist-
d orninated lands,
Loss of freedom seldom comes to
any people in on'e full swoop. In this
day and age we are prone to give our
freedom, away rather than having it
taken from us, Go ahead, laugh about

cere fellow who is ready to speak out
-on subjects of civic importance. Be as
contemptuous as you wish about free-
dom of speech, freedom of the press,
freedom, of worship. Perhaps your
children won't have the chance to
.laugh at, these, things.

parents have taken the proper action
to prevent further outbreaks of a'simi-
lar nature.
Wingham is a friendly place, and
for that reason property owners did
not lay a formal complaint with the
police. They are hoping that the
whole affair was just one of those
rare occasions when "boys will be
boys'% The main thing is, however,
that whether they will be boys or not,
youngsters must learn early in life
that the other fellow's property is in-
violate. Lawlessness of any kind is
inexcusable in a land as prosperous
and highly developed as ours.
At this season of the year the spirit
of Hallowe'en breaks loose. Few of us
are disturbed by the normal pranks at
the proper time, but when the whole
'affair starts weeks ahead of t;me even
the most patient become irritated.
Windows along the main street have
been soaped every night since the be-
ginning of the month. The joke is
more than a little stale.
HALLOWE'EN FUN
they tend to become a public nuisance.
But the leaders and ' members of the
C.G.I.T. have undertaken what this
newspaper feels is an outstandingly
fine project, in converting the energies
Which might otherwise be bent on
such a humanitarian cause.
When you "shell out" for the
girls we would recommend
that you do so unstintingly, with the
humble thought that your own child-
ren and grandchildren are well fed,
warmly clothed and surrounded by
affection and safety on every side.
.SET IN, FOLKS, AND EAT
HEARTY
Good old Ontario has changed a lot
in the past 25 years; What was once
an easy-going rural district is now a
bustling and highly competitive in-
dustrial area. There is, of course, no
Taint whatever in bemoaning the
changes wrought by progress. As a
matter of fact most of the changes
Faye been for the better, what with
imprOved schools, hospitals and wel-
fare services; not to mention the tre-
.mendous increase in standard of liv-
ing.
Nonetheless, that very phrase,
"standard of living", is one which is
fraught with false values. Today's
measure of the standard of living is
arrived at by computing total sales of
such up-to-the-minute gadgets as elec-
tric refrigerators, television sets and
new cars. Our standard of living is
reputed to be high when we spend
more than we earn in order to have
the' very latest of everything which
will make life easy and give us more
leisure time.
The principle may be correct bat
in practical application something
seems -to be amiss, for surely there
never was a decade in the history of
this province when leisure time was
at a greater premium. Even our hard-
working pioneer grandfathers slaved
only until sundown. They did have a
couple of hours before bedtime with
their children about the fire — a time
when the stern but utterly honest code
of their day was instilled into young
hearts.
Father today starts a little later
in the morLing, but his activities are
liable to continue without pause until
midnight. His grandfather had .to
plod along behind the plow, but at
least he had the priceless blessing of
the good health which his rugged out-
door life engendered.
In no single sphere has there been
such change as in' our social life. A
but gone are the days when four or
five families gathered at a single home
after church on Sunday to enjoy the
pleasures of a well-laden table and to
talk of the common interests of their
daily lives. Families, as well as .a:p-
petiteS were large and -recreations
were simple and wholesome.
Perhaps it is with thoughts of
those warm-hearted days that present
day people attend the fowl suppers
which are prepared Lt various points
in the district at is time of year.
The bountiful spread of good food and
the bustle of activity in the nearby
kitchen serves to- remind us of the
wonderful times we used to enjoy at
grandma's — the warmth of hospital-
ity and the pleasures of good company.
