the addition of 8 columns, making now
66 columns, and we will thereby be en-
abled to present a wider range of news
to oar numerous readers. Other im-
provements are in anticipation, as we
purpose keeping Tits Eon in the front
rank. Oar speciality ie District and
local news, but in addltioa we will cup.
ply our subscribers with the latest infor-
mation the world over. We are well
pleased at the rapid growth of oitr snb-
soription lint and expect to bave the pleas-
ure of planing a large number of namee
on between now and the close of Janu-
ary. All we ask ie a comparison of TEs
POST with the other newspapers in Huron
or Perth Counties.
Tits Temperance question is quite a
bugbear to municipal bodies as well as
political parties in Parliament, and they
appear to think that any legislation asked
for is labelled "dangerous" and should be
let severely alone. A communication
from the Dominion Milano, relative to
certain proposed amendments was sent
out and we note the reception it received
in a few places that came under' our
notice. Huron Go. Council—no action,
Co. Councillor Mooney being about the
only member willing to urge the Counoil
to act, on the ground that Co. Council
usually met in their recommendations at
least with what is calculated for the gen-
eral good. One member argued out the
old chestnut that no Government had a
right to dictate what aiinan should eat or
drink. Perth Go. Council filed the nom-
munication ; Listowel town Council laid
it over for further consideration ; and
Dundas town Counoil put _tbe papers in
the stove. These actions prove another
thing, v4z , that when. these same men
talk on -Temperance legislation during a
political contest it is the rankest kind of
olap-trap for the sole purpose of party ad.
vancement. The old rule laid down
many years ago, !'By their fruits ye shall
knot, them" holds good yet. Prohibition
will never be an assured success until
temperance men have backbone enough
to stand by their principles instead of re.
treating every time the hour for action
arrives. Straws often show which way
the wind. blows. The Ontario Legisla•
tare is often blamed for not being more
progressive along temperance lines, but
we firmly believe their Iegislation is now
in advance of the actions of many so.
called temperance men.
THANKSGIVING.
The following are notes, sent TEs Posr
by a friend, of Rev, D. B. MoBae's ser.
mon on Thanksgiving Day at Knox
church, Craobrook, the text being "Do
not err, my beloved brethren. Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, and cometh down from the Father
of Lights, with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning"—lst James,
18th chapter and 17th verse
The text ie.desigued to counteract au
evil notion that good and evil come from
God. Marais still a Class who think
that God is the drigin of evil. This
opinion'ieeeferred to an verse 18, "Let
no man • say when he se .tempted, 1 am
temptedof God, for G.gfl oannotbe tempt-
ed ed withevil, neither • tempteth he any
mama . Some think .troy' can roll book
on God the 001180 of their error. Adam,
when he sinned and fell, said, "the woman
which Thou gayest me, she gave of the
forbidden fruit and I did eat," and the
woman said the serpent beguiled -her,
All this was an attempt to throw the
blame on God and here the Apostle tries
to corrsot this idea and says God temppt•
eth no man to evil (1) Let usconsider
the grand representation given of God in
the text —Baas the Father of Lights ;
(2) That God is the source of all good :—
Cometh from the rather ; (3) The
caution given :—Do nob err, &o, God
the Father ie the source of light and all
thing's]. He is the F1thet of the universe
and Creator of the same. Re created
man and all creatures, He is the
Father of angels, for He created them.
He is also the Father of light. when the
earth was made there was darkness upon

feet, All WAS dark before he called light
into existence and then was light. Again,
there is mental and intellectual light,
God gave to Adam knowledge and wisdom,
for when the animals created were pm.

Moses was a man of mighty intellect,

was Isaiah, David and Paul. Comedown
to modern times and we have in history

Zuiuglo, lGlox, Newton, Chalmers and
others. Again, angels ars velum of es

He did for the angels. Again, He has
given me health of body and soundoeee of

dence when there is no reason for it. We
would be more grateful if we had even an
Muir of excruciating pain on a bed of
languishing. He has given us food—
plenty to eap,and drink, There is eoongh

the papers and learning -the state of,other
eountrloe, I have (tometo the oonolusion

in the world. There may be some in
destitute circumstances on account of
losing all by unexpected fires, but there
is plenty of food in the country and the
people have the milk of buman loudness
to sympathise and aid them in their need:
Not only is God the source of every good
gift, but He is also the source of every
perfect gift. what are those perfect
gifts ? First of all is Jesus the gift of
God, Who is able to save to the uttermost
all that come to God .through Him.
Again, there is the gift of.the Holy.. Spirit
--the teacher that takes of the things of
Christ and shows them to men. The
Holy Spirit is the sanctifier. Without
Its aid we could not understand the
Scriptures. Then there is the gift of the
glorious Gospel, which is a complete,
organic whole, and in the last chapter of
Revelation a woe ie pronounced oa the
man who attempts to add to it -that God
shall add unto him the plagues that are

Holy Spirit will help you. Another gift
