Golden Text
Thou shalt call His name J0';u
for He shall save His people from
their sins, (Matt. 1:21.1
We hear the words 'salvation,"
And "Gospel," and "Saviour" used
very freely nowadays, yet in most
cases they are not used with their
Bible meanings at all. There are a
thousand different popular "gospels"
today, but there is, always has been.
always will he only one true. Gospel.
There are many varieties of "salva-
tion" and "saviours," but only one
true salvation and only one 'true
Saviour. The Bible passages chosen
by the Lesson Committee on "Christ
the Saviour" cut straight to She
heart of the `natter.
God had been making His primer-
- rations for the riming of the Saviour
to earth a long time before He came.
Ilis coming was announced In ad-
%ar:cc to different persons, as Luke
1 record,. Four thousand years
earlier it had been announced (Gen.
3:15), and then repeatedly 'through
the centuries durine Old Testament
:Imes. Now, at His birth, the shep-
herds of BetheIete are told that there
"is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
Why a Saviour? Because men need-
ed to be saved. -From what? From
sin and death. All men know this
today, and all men have always
known ic; but some do not admit 1t
—which does not alter the facts at
all.
It was the Jewish Messiah that was
"born that first Christmas Day. He
was promised, to redeem God's
chosen people and re-establish
David's Kingdom on earth. But old
Simeon, "waiting for the consolation
of Israel," when he came into the
temple as Joseph and Mary brought
in the Babe Jesus, had a revelation
from God and he thanked God in
the prayer: "Mine eyes have seen
Thy salvation, which Thou hast pre-
pared before the face of all people;
a light to lighten the Gentiles, and
the glory of Thy people, Israel." So
Israel's Messiah was God's gift, not
only to Israel, but also to the whole
world. The Jewish Messiah is the
Saviour of all men, Jews and Gen-
tiles.
Some thirty years later, when the
Mabe Jeetis was grown to manhood,
and was cricized for receiving and
eating with sinners. He told a
parable. He asked whether a man
owning a hundred sheep, if one of
ahem was lost, would not leave the
ninety and nine and go after the
lost sheep until he had, found and
brought it nae r. That was all Ile
had come to earth for. to seek earl
to save that which wits to -t. And
all men are lost, hoc om do 001

but have eternal life•". The brazen
serpent had been set up by Moses, ac
God's direction, when the Israelites
were dying of serpent bites, All
that a. poisoned, dying Israelite need-
ed to do was to look in faith upon
the brazen serpent and instantly his
life was saved. Christ figuratively ,
took the form of a loathsome ser-
pent; that is, Tie was made "sin for
us" (4l Cor. 5:21), the very sin that
has poisoned and is destroying us.
He received in our stead, on the
•cross, the death penalty of our sins;
and 11 we look to Him in faith we do
"not perish, but have eternal life."
The "Little Gospel," or John 3:16,
tells us thio. Gospel means good
news, for it f:; good news to dyiatg
t se, *, know th:.t ritey mey live.
But they meet admit that they are

yond God's help. They are lost for

Chris the Saviour is the Good
Shepherd. He tells ue that He is
the door, and the only door, by which
men can enter Heaven anti life. He
IA the door because He is the Good
iteeplu'rd, and "the Good Shepherd
giveth His life for the sheep." It
cost the Son of God His life to open
the door of Heaven to sinful men,
"I lay down My life for the sheep."
How secure are the sheen who 'iraet
:h). Good Sheuherd? Here is His
answer: "I give unto them eternal
life; au.l they shall never perish,
eeither shall any man pluck them out
of My hand," That is good news
indeed.
The story of the man, lame from
his mother's womlt, who asked Petra
and John for a little money, and
who instead of getting what he had
e -ked, wise miraculously healed and
even strength to stand up, walk and
leap, was but one of the many hu-
man documents that tell of the
mighty power of this Saviour,
The Reformation came through
Martin Luther when he discovered
"justification by faith." "Therefore
being justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ." It is the sante and
only Gospel again. offered through
the sante and only Saviour that "God
commendch His- love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinner?,
Christ died for us."
The Philippians passage' tells of
the seven downward steps the eter-
nal Son of God took in order that
we might be saved. Not only did
He become a man, but "He humbled
Himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross."
There was no other way by which
He could be the Saviour.
1t is all by grace; and grace
means what God does for us, never
what we do for God. He "hath
saved us . . . not according to our
works, hut according to His own
purpose and grace,. which was given
us in Christ Jesus before the world
began . . . who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and im-
mortality to light through the Gos-
pel." What a wonderful Saviour!"

During the course of 'the present

SEES GOOD TIMES Canadian West have suffered enor-
mous losses, amounting to tens of
millions of dollars from these causes.
It has been well known that the
experts of the department of agri-
culture have been gratified a•t the
progress which they have achieved
in the prevention of injury from
frost and rust, but it remained ler
the federal minister of agriculture
to make the unqualified prediction
that, within a few years, the wheat
growers of the West would reap the
benefit of the discovery.
"Canada is a great next year
country," said the minister. By this
he meant 'co say that the Canadian
people have strong confidence In the
future development of the country,
.notwithstanding any disadvantages
that have existed in the past, or that
may exist in the present. A scienti-
fic discovery, or the development of
a strain of wheat that will prevent
the process of rust and frost, will
be increasingly valuable as the years
pass by. Western Canada has reach-
ed only about half of its potential
wheat production, and the an -
NORTHERN CARIBOU
CHANGING HABITS
Are Increasing Rather Than De-
creasing in Numbers Count
Tolstoi Believes.
Winnipeg, January 12—Fires and
the slow creeping in of civilization
are responsible for the changes in
the habits of the immense herds of
caribou that roam the Barron Lands
according to Count Ilia Tolstoi,
grandson of the great philanthropist
and writer, who reached Wionipce
over the Canadian National Railway:,
after nearly five months in the wild-
erness of the North West Territor-
ice. Count Tolstoi was in charge of
the expedition sponsored by the Am-
erican Museum of Natural History
to study the migration of the cari-
bou. He was accompanied by Hor-
ace Ashton and W. J. Casel, photo-
grapher. When Count Tolstoi and
Mr. Casel reached Winnipeg from
The Pas with them was George
Yandle, Arccic trapper, who has not
seen civilization for 15 years, his
first reaction to it was 0 peir or
fancy spats with zippers,
"The caribou of the Barrons have
made more changes in their habits in
the past three years than they bite
done for a century," Count Tolstoi
said. Some scientists and old tim-
ers were of the opinion that the
herds were decreasing but be'be-
lieved that they were increasing but
were moving farther away in their
great sweeping circles; on this trip
he saw herds numbering thousands
of heads but the big 'herd did not
come within the ken of the explor-
ers. Count Tolstoi strongly advocat-
es the use of airplanes for the
study of caribou migration.
The party left Winnipeg for the
North on August loth and went
from Sturgeon Landing a thousand
miles by water as far as Reindeer.

The return was made with dogs
bought from the E -loran. "Wonder.

Conus Tolstoi, who cunt`" to Am
erica to study animal husbandry at
Ames. Iowa, has no ambitions in
literature. "I dare not with a name
like mine," he says, Ire likes the
outdoors and hopes to give hie life
to exploration and particularly the
study of animals. Some day he hopes
to get back into the Barrens to spend
two or three years studying the fas-
cinating caribou.
"I believe there are great possi•
hilities he them," he says. "They
are as tame as sheep and should be
easily domesticated. We were able
to obtain excellent motion pictures
of them,"

What Makes a Town?
A lresperous rural population which demands a community
untie where may be estakliehed business, educational, relig-
ious and entertainment facilities. Where .these flourish and
are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section
realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre.
What ayntains It ?
The towns are largely maintained by"the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
up -keep. of the inetitutions in such towns are an the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith. Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tion„ and undertakings no town could thrive.
ho is Mainly Affected?
Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned
in seeing to it that they do• their part in carrying on any good
cause which may be promoted; either by financial or active
support. Only In this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
ubhicity is Required
In promotion 'work your local paper takes the leading part.
It is ever ,the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic
and patriotic undertakings. But to function properly, and
fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the
financial support of the community It serves. When needing
advertising or printed matter always first think of
