One Moment, Tease
By Rev. G. Howard Pace
Belreore, Ontario
The story of "Daniel in the
lion`s den" is farniliar to
everyone where the Bible has
been read, It asks a pertinent
question for us all. "Is thy God
whom thou servest continually,
able to deliver thee--?" Re-
phrased, it simply means, "Is
that which is central, first and
dearest in your life, able to
satisfy completely and meet
your need in a time of emer-
gency?" When Daniel was in
a tough spot he was delivered
"because he believed in his
God." Obviously the lesson is
that faith like Daniel's in the
"living God" will have the
same results for us.
Let us, then, examine
Daniel's faith,
First: It was an explicit
faith. There was much vague-
ness about spiritual things. The
religious system was muddled.
As we read this book we dis-
cover that Daniel had put forth
the effort, and made the sacri-
fice, necessary to know and
understand that which was re-
vealed about God in his day.
As a result he had "light and
understanding and excellent
wisdom." For us it is written,
"All scripture is given by in-
spiration of God and is profit-
able,"
rofit-able," and "faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the
word of God." To have a
positive faith, as Daniel, we
must know the revelation of
God for our day -- the Bible.
Second: It was a loyal faith.
True faith was unpopular.
Many were disloyal to the old
standards. "Daniel purposed in
his heart that he would not de-
file himself," Compromise,
just to share his loyalty to God
with another who claimed like
devotion, was the apparent
answer to his problem, This
he refused to do.
The story is told that when
Pastor Niemoeller was in a con-
centration camp in Germany
for his loyalty to the Gospel,
the prison Chaplain, recogniz-
ing him, one day asked, "Why
are you in prison, Brother?"
Loyal faith has a price that
must be met in every life.
Third: It was a personal
faith. The living God was his
God, not just a God who exer-
cised power outside of Daniel's
life. Daniel's God was a daily,
living reality whom he relied
upon, and who answered his
praying over and over again.

Education, Mrs. Howard Harris

To have a personal faith in our
day, God must be known to us
through Jesus Christ as our
Saviour and Lord, who, Him-
self, said, "I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by
me,"
Lastly: God answeredDan-
iel's faith, not by saving him
from the den of lions, but by
saving huh in the den. His
faith was tried and tested, but
it was vindicated. He received
an education in the power, love,
and conceru of God for his own,

Letters to the Editor
Wingham, Ont.,
Oct. 21, 1963,
To the Editor and
Wingham Softball Fans:
This letter is to explain the
decision of the W.O.A.A, on a
protest made by the Wingham
Brophy Goodyear Softball Club
against St. Clements Saints, of
a game played in St. Clements
on October 7. This was the
seventh game in a best 4-7
series. St. Clements won the
game 5-4.
The W. O. A. A. executive
sitting on the protest meeting
was John Crewson, president,
Wingham; Geo. Wicke, Rostock;
Jim Inglis, Atwood; John Flew -
citing, Chesley.
The Wingham team protest-
ed on two rules:

What's Wrong with
The Red Ensign?
This dispute about a distinc-
tive Canadian flag has been
going on now longer than we
care to remember. Govern-
ments continually promise that
they will provide such a flag.
However, to date, none has had
the courage to do so.
The Canadian Legion has
openly endorsed the Red Ensign -
and we wholeheartedly support
this choice. It's a flag familiar
to all of us, bearing the Union
Jack and the Canadian Coat -of -
Arms. The Coat -of -Arms itself
carries the Lion of England, the
Lilies of France, the Lion of
Scotland and the Harp of Ire-
land. This encompasses all
four races who made up the set-
tlers of this country in its early
years.
There is no suggestion in the
flag that all Canadians originat-
ed
riginated in France or the British Isles.
Likewise it doesn't indicate all
the other races present in this
country today. This would be
as impossible here as in the
United States of America.
What we want to see is a
government that will "take the
bull by the horns" and declare
the Red Ensign the official flag
of Canada with no further quib-
bling about it. All would be
forgotten in a very short time.
As far as those people who
don't like it and refuse to use
it, there would be no change,
as in all likelihood they don't
fly a flag now.
The main point would be
this that those Canadians who
do respect the flag would at
least know which one to fly:—

Bide which team whould be
last at bat, although the Wing -
ham team asked that the toss
be held, but the umpire stated
that a toss was not required and
the Wingham team announced
to the umpire that the game in
question was being played un-
der protest.
O.A.S.A. by-law 3 S.S. E.
states: "If the teams agree that
the odd game of a series be
played on the home grounds of
one of the teams, then (1) a
toss to decide the venue of the
game must be made prior to
the start of the second game,
and (2) another toss to decide
which teams shall be last at
bat will be made immediately
before the start of the odd
game, with the winner of the
toss to have a choice."
2. That contrary to O.A.S.
A. by-law number 3 S.S. B.
no player certificate was pro-
duced for R. Beaupre who took
part in the game on behalf of
the St. Clements Saints,
O.A.S.A. by-law number
3 S.S. B. states, "Players'
certificates in all the series
must be produced on demand,
prior to, during, or immediate-
ly following any or all playoff
games."
For a protest to be eligible
it must be sworn before a no-
tary public or justice of the
peace. This was done through
J. T. Goodall, notary public
of Wingham, by the Wingham
team. A cheque for $25.00 ac-
companied the protest.
For the defence of the pro-
test the club protested against
'must make out a similar sworn
defence before a notary public,
or justice of the peace, ac-
companied by a fee of $25.00.
The defence by the St. Clem-
ents team was not a sworn sig-
nature, just signed by Gerald
Schnarr, postmaster, St. Clem-
ents.
The W.O.A.A. ruled that
the game would stand as play-
ed, and that the $25,00 fee
would be returned to St. Clem-
ents and the Wingham fee
would stay with the W.O.A.A.
The Wingham team has
found, to the tune of $25.00,
that the W.O.A.A. would not
stay to the rules of the O.A.S.
A. rule book, which rules go-
vern all W.O.A.A. softball
games.
