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. • • READY CASH for unpaid bilis Canadians everywhere use Niagara loans, up to $3,000.00 or more, for many worthwhile things.

REDMM1'S TEXACO SERVICE CENTRE Dill 357-3380 - Wingham Institute Visits Listowel School FORWICH—The Women's Institute enjoyed a tour of the Listowel District Secondary School which was planned by the conveners of Citizenship and Education, Mrs. Howard Harris and Miss M. McElwain, After 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, Also, Darius the king was con- verted. Daniel's faith and wit- ness in a hard place won some- body else, What an ordeal! But what a sequel! "Lord, give me such a faith as this." the tour, conducted by J. H. Pollock, adrninistrator, and Earl Zurbrigg, teacher, the ladies met in the cafeteria for their program, Mrs. John Craig presided and devotions were taken by Miss M. McElwain. The motto, "an education never hurt any- one willing to learn something afterward", was given by Mrs. 1, H. Pollock. The roll call was answered by naming the most interesting incident of school life, Mrs. Clare Harris gave highlights of the Guelph area convention, Mrs. J. Craig reported on the training school for seniors for dessert. It was decided that a neighbouring Institute be in- vited for the November meet- ing. A dainty lunch was serv- ed by the lunch committee, assisted by Miss Holmes of the cafeteria staff. Courtesy remarks to Mr. Pol- lock, Mr. Zurbrigg and Miss Holmes were given by Mrs. Howard Harris. 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: 1. That contrary to O.A.S. A, by-law number 3 S.S. E, no toss of coin was held to de - 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:— The Stouffville Tribune.

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. Ivan Gardner, Mgr.
