R. St. John, hada difficult decision to make when he leamed that he had been suc- cessful in trying out for the Kitchener Rangers Jr., a farm team of the New York Rangers. When he was notified that he had been accepted for the team he told the officials that he would like to tali: it over with his parents. They left it up to Doug to decide. While in training he would receive his necessary education, hut Doug felt that the hard schedule of hockey would not leave enough tune for academ- ic studies in Grade 13 and turned down the offer. The Times -Journal says: "Two -fold congratulations are extended Doug, for a success- ful try -out and acceptance to the Kitchener Rangers, and no less for nai:ing a decision worthy of a fine sportsman. See you on the Uxbridge ice this winter, Doug." Mrs. Donald Rae of town is Doug's grandmother. His mother is the former Betty Rae. 11Ualliallla111a111a11111111al911111 alfla111al111111 alllall1a11 alllalllalliulllalllall11 Hear . .. ONTARIO'S MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS HON.

Business was confined to a One Moment Please By Rev. A. Jackson, Belgrave, Ont. Recently, owing to the gen- erosity of a friend, my wife anc I had the privilege of attending a performance of the Shakes- pearean play. "Timon of Ath- ens" at the Festival Theatre in Stratford, This was a much appreciated pleasure which we thoroughly enjoyed. The story is of a young man, Timon, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The Encyclopaedia Brittanica des- cribes him as a "misguided philanthrope". He gives lib- erally of his wealth to the state. to artists, writers, sculptors, and was what we today would call "an easy mark" for any unscrupulous person who asked for financial help on any pre- text. He is warned by two loyal friends that his blind faith in human nature and his reckless generosity can only lead to fin- ancial disaster and disillusion- ment; but his belief in the good ness of man is such that he ac- cepts no advice and continues his extravagant philanthropy. But his wealth is not in- exhaustible, and at last he find; himself hopelessly without fund; and deeply in debt. He turns to those who have flocked around him, partaken of his hospitality, accepted his many and costly gifts, those against whom his few loyal friends had warned him as being friends on- ly for what they could get. They all refuse to help him. He leaves the city of Athens to live in a forest by the sea, but he finds neither comfort nor peace in solitude for his belief in the goodness of man has turned to bitter hatred which is always uppermost in his mind. One day while digging for roots for food, he finds a buried treasure. When news of this reached Athens, the parasites return again to sponge on him. He is even offered the premier- ship remiership of the city. He refuses and instead gives his new- found wealth to help destroy the city. At his death he is buried in a grave of his own choosing which "will forever be washed by the sea". In many ways the story re- sembles another story told by Jesus Christ, the story of "The Prodigal". Timon and the Prodigal both had wealth,. Both lavishly spent or wasted the wealth with the expectation that those on whom their gifts were showered would show friendship in return. So long as the money held out there was no lack of such friendship. Both found that when the money went, the so-called "friends" went with it; that in a time of need, none came forward to help. Both were compelled to seek food even of the poorest kind. Timon dug roots in the forest; the prodigal ate pig food. The resemblance con- tinues in that each found a new wealth, but there the similar- ity ends. Timon's new wealth was gold, material things which immediately brought back his parasitical "friends". The prodigal's new wealth was his father's foregiveness, love, home comforts, and honest employment. The inference is obvious, and needs no further comment. Wingham Baptist Church REV.
