His long flngens drew out an artistic Ohrdstmtas card. A conservative with an an okl Christian carol printed in English letters, That was all, except the signature. "Eleanor Denby." A flush stained his face, an un- definable something sent the blood singing through his veins. , "Elea- nor," ,he said softly; "a (beautiful name; how queer that I never heard lit before," Then, as if resenting his weak- ness and sentiment, he dug into his mall again, But try as he would, he could not concentrate on the things that bad meant anything to hint before, Something had happened to Robert Dutton; a Christmas greeting from a secre- tary Whom he bad scarcely noticed THE BRUSSELS POST left him visibly unsettled.

Hal was right. Someone else could handle the things that had seemed so terribly important. A few hours of confu- sion, perhaps; then things would go on as before. The world would for- get him in a day. His fingers reached for the pen upon his desk, ''Dear Hal:' he began; "1 heartily -agree with your proposnl that we get together and make plans to give Dad and Mother fhe biggest surprise and the grand est Christmas ever—" 14 ewes smil- ing broadly, almost laughing aloud, as he finished the letter with a flourish.

C''.( 'c in a sense they , tv-: , t,r. e1, rely right. Said our : Lord, ,'A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, as 1 Have loved you." This colo- 111 munden't was Spoken by our Lord on the last night of his earthly mlai$- try hist before he was betraned and ;trreited. In the Upper Room they had kept the Passover, our Lord bad inrittuled the Lord's Supper, he had given his disciples that never -to -be - forgotten demonstration of htunil- ity when he washed the disciple's feet. He had warned Judas of the treachery that he was about to commit and Judas had just gone out to betray him, It was then just before he was arrested, while there was ci1111 time and no doubt thinking at his 'followers in all the future that Jeans gave them this commandment for said he, By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, (Let us notice that it was addresser to his disciples, to his follower's. He had already sum- mei up the Ten Commandments in two creat commandments, ''Thou shalt love the Lord tby God: with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength" and "thy neighbor, as thyself;' and he had also made clear who is our neighyor by his parable o•t the good Samaritan, but here he gives this new command- ment to his followers. Christian people are to love others as they love themselves, that commandment has not been done away with, it still holds good, but there is also the other commandment that our Lord himself calls "a -+linty com- mandment,'' that is. just as binding to Christian people as any of the others. How necessarily surely It is to preach the gospel or love to- day when we look out upon the world where Hate, the very opposite is largely in control. What a spec- tacle the world presents at the present time: No doubt if a visi- tor from some other planet could come and look at the world at the present time he would think that men had lost their reason and no doubt he would also be surprised to learn that Christ had ever been here, We have the whole spirit and attitude of Germany, or at least of the rules of Germany, toward most of the rest or the world which once again almost caused a World War and may do so yet together with her merciless and bloody per- secution of all those within her bordem who are not of pure Ger- manic blood. Today the world stands horrified at what Is going on In Ge'imany, There is also her per- secution of the Chtlatian church, both the Protestant and Roman Catholic, and all, simply because Chnist is apposed to the whole spirit and attitude of Galliuny and to what she Is doing, No wonder at all that one of the first things the present rulers of Germany did was to repudiate Christ for they knew that ' Christ and they were entirely opposed. In repudiating hint they were being logical and '.ro'gl'Nforward. Today Hate and not Lave rules in Germany, "We're going to forget business far today, Miss Denby, and go Cht•isl:nus shopping, that is, if you want to help me oat," He fumbled with his tie tis be spoke, noticing for the f1'tt time the soft curving , of iter white netlt, "Your Christ MRS nmol,' 'ire went on, "wrought sante miracle• I've found out that business and .making honey aren't evOUlhing itt life.

No doubt our present system has its weak- nesses, but it doesn't look as if any of the other systems, Naziism, or Fascisau or Communism or Aber- hartisnt 0r any other of the "isms" is perfect. Moreover it would have to be acknowledged that as the years have gone by our present system has made a truly wonderful contribution to civilization and that from time to time injustices have been remedied.

Let us work for reforans by all oceans, for so the betterment of conditions of all 1, glasses, but we do not need to hate each other to do it: Lastly, does the spirit of Hate play any part in our life as an individual, or does the Spirit of Love rule there as it should Lot us be honest with ourselves. Let us turn the spotlight on our own heart and life and see if we love y. other people as we should, N.o, it won't always be easy to do it for some have a more pleasing person- ality than others, some have a more likeable disposition than others, some are easter to get along with than others. We may not like some people at least as much as we do others, incidentally it may not be their fault, the fault nay be our own, but we can love them or learn 'to love them nevertheless, Do we love other people as we should? Said our Lord "By this, by this more more than anything else, shall all men know that ye are my disciples.' If this old world of ours needs one thing more than another it is a fresh baptism of the spirit of love, but, where is it going to get it if it doesn't get it from the Christian Church, d at least in Democratic Within all the stations, our own included, what is nil this talk about Class Hatred, Clues Antagonism, Class Warfare.

Biekell, registrar or Department of Highways, there were same 615,000 license plates issued last year, and he ex pects to see this total increased A similar increase in the num- ber of licensed drivers was also forecast by the registrar. Last year, he said, almost 900,000 driv- ers were registered, with a regis- tration or 91,000 expected for 1939. "Judging by the annual increase in the number of drivers it should not be more than two years before we have at least a million in the province."
