"TOE PRIEJNOS OF •JESLIS"
Text----,-"Te are My friends. Jr ye
d0 whatsover I command you,".-St,
John 1544,
A number of yeere ego, a contest
.wee -held to discover the best Alq,
finition of a friend, This is the :de.
einition, which received the prime
"A friend is a person who comes '
in when every other person has
gone .ent,"
'This is the 'kind of a friend we
hays in Jesus. For us He laid down
MS life. In the veree before our
text We read "Greeter love bath no.
Men than this, that a 'man lay Own'
his life for his friends:" . ,
The Beginning of Frienelsbip, '
with Christ
Jesus spoke to His disciples 'end
called them His friends. This de-
signation is not to be restricted
to the eleven, but applies to all
who are saved by the blood of
Chriet„ _,Truly,. Ail .things begin.
when we come Co' ChriSi; '' "'''''''''
This world is full of disappoint-
ments and heartaches, and the
greater proportion ' of them arise
out of the unfaithfulness ,of men,
It is in Christ that we find "a
friend. who sticketh closer than a.
brother," Life will often - be lone-
ly and discouraging unless Christ
'is by your . side, The best of
friends will fail, but He never
does, .
The Barrier to Friendship
The 'Word -says "Ye are My.
friends, • if ye . do whatsoever I .
command you," Very plainly the'
Lord will not be on intimate terms'
with one Who is out of the path
of obedience. Friendship is' here
conditioned upon your obedience 'to
the Lord. The barrier to. friendship
is disobedience; therefore, if Christ
is' to call us friends, then we must '
do whatsoever He commands us:
of you area believer in Christ, Yon
',$hould desire to • come' into 'dose
fellowship with Him. This is O-
E tethed obedience. Whatsoever
the Lord says to Yen, do it, Do
not be content with merely a child of God," but draw
near unto Him through day by day
obedience. Do those things whieb
gre pleasing in His sight and
wit ate expressly commended ,in
the Word of Opel,
The Blessing of • F(leudsltip With
Christ
In.,Kohn 15:15 we read, ."Hence.
forth I calf you not servants; for
the eerVant ittneweth not what his.
lord doeth; but. I have _celled you
feet-is; for all things that I have'
heard. of my Father I have made
known unto you," As it' is sug-
gested by this verse, the blessing
of .friendship is that He shares all.
things with us, He reveals unto
us the- secrets ,of God end let* us
theletlepe'Se—Ot" " foe, "tee
and for the world. •
Friendship means - prayer. Why
should we hesitate to come unto
our Lord who calls us His friends.
Whatever 'is upon our hearts we
earl. make It known unto Him.
Friendship with Christ means
fellowship, We are able to walk
and to talk with Him. We are
never alone,
"And He walks with me,
And He talks with me;
And He tells me I am His own.
And the joy we share
As we tarry there,
None other has ever known."
Friendship means comfort. In
Him we have comfort in the hour
Of sorrow. Be kdows our grief
and He cares.' He speaks to us
wards which surpass all the words
of this earth,
Friendship means assurance. As
the friends of Jesus, we have been
brought into the inner circle. We
may be weak and unworthy, but
Christ will never forsake His
friends. Therefore, we need not
be troubled about our salvation,
but rest upon His promise and His priwer to keep us,
Abraham is the only Old. Vesta.,
Ment saint, directly called the
friend of God, This reference is
in Isaiah 41:8, "Hid thou Israel at,t,
my servant, Jacob Whom I ha te'
chosen, the seed of Abraham my
friend." But in our text the Lord
is calling His followers, "Friends".
We are servants and we must al-
ways be busy serving. But, we 'are
His friends, to walk and to talk
with Him,
It Is said that when Bishop Bev-
eridge was dying, one of 'his clos-
est friends said to him, "Bishop, do
you know me?" The bishop asked,
"Who are you?" ,and when the
'iMeiti (Jadeite `stilti7 "No":
Then they said to him, "Don't
YAP know your wife?" "Whet is
her name " lie asked again. His
wife came forward and said, "I
am your wife. Do you not know
me?" "No, I,dtd not know I.had
wife,"
The old man's Mental machinery
was breaking down, Then one
knelt by*him and whispered in.his
" ear, Do you know the Lord Jesus'
Christ?"
At that' the dying man's face
lighted up and he answered, "Yes,,
I have known. Him for the last
forty years, arid I' can never for-
get Him."
Yes, when memory's cords are
all snapping and the , mind wanders
in maze, -still the name of Jesus
Will sound with sweet pearling in
the believer's ear, ,

NOTHING. BUT.
SYMPATHY
turon County has witnessed One
of the saddest cases in its history
with the conviction of a 14-year-old
Clinton boy on a Murder charge last
week. The entire affair, from the
murder of a 12-year-old victim last
Spring, to the completion of the trial
is one of the unhappiest of all human
dramas,
Though we feel the deepest sort
of sympathy for the parents of the'
murder victim, there is even. greater
cause to weep for parents of the COD'
victed boy. Theirs is a cruelly hard
cross to beard
The shocking headlines which
told the publiC that a 14-year-old boy
had been sentenced to hang bear
testimony to what must surely he a
dreadful lack iii our system of deal-
ing with offenders against the law,
There is, of CORM, strong likelihood
that the sentence will be committed
to life irtwisonnitnt, but would
surely seem that some means must
be found to detect the mental ten.-

Two or three nearby towns are

—junipers for the girls and all-on-

„It sounds like one great big piece of
nonsense.

AGAIN YOU PAY
Millions of workmen all over
Canada found there was an extra
bite out of their pay cheques at the
end of last week. Unemployment
insurance premiums were increased
on Sept, 27 by as much as 50 per
cent in the CaS6 of higher wage
earners.
Unfortunately very little more i5
promised in return for the increased
premiums—and then there is the
hidden half of the premium—the
half which is paid by employers all
over the country, The net result,
of course, is another step utp the
ladder of inflation, for.the employer
has 'no alternative but to increase
the selling price of his stock in trade
to cover the additional dollars 'he is
forced to pay to the government in-
surance fund.
Unemployment insurance is a
fine thing, but ft should be paid as
in all other types "of insurance,
by those who are likely to benefit
from it.
Another, question mark too, is
why hl thunderation should there be
50 per cent increase in premiums
following 15 or 20 years of the high.,
est employment levels hi the nation's
hittory? What in the world would
happen if we had a depression?

STARTS TOO EARLY
Already the spirit of Hallowe'en
has made itself felt. Gangs of young
people are roaming the streets look!-
! ing for a little excitement and all set
for some general hellery:
Hallowe'en is an ancient tra-
dition, and it, is perhaps only for
that reason that it is condoned at all.
The pranks which are practised in
good-natured fun are all well and
good. But at the same time it is:a
period of horror for old people and
those who live alone. The prank-
sters always seem to have a deadly
instinct for. picking out the people
who are actually frightened by their
nonsense.
Be all that as it may, Hallowe'en
- is still three weeks away and no
person in this town has any need to
be hOthered by the horseplay of a
bunch of unrestrained teen-agers
'Who should be in their own homes
and up to theirears in• school books..
If you are being subjected. to this
kind of nuisance, we would suggest
that you quietly call the polite
office without making any' attempt
to scare off the intruders. The police
can't do much to help you unless you
let them know what is 'going on. -
Wingham has been, so far, a quiet
community in which we have hatha
minimum of trouble frorti-totigh ele-
ments, but there has been an increas-
ing tendency in recent months for
the roughnecks ,to show their .colors.
Right now would' be an excellent
timeAto stop them in 'their tracks.
