Minimum Penalty For First Offence There appear to be many people who are wilfully ignorant of the fart that at last session of the Provincial Legislature, among other amend- ments to the Ontario Temperance Act, there as an amendment to the penalty for selling liquor giving not less than a month's imprisonment in addition to the fine. The clauee as amended in section 40 reads: "No person shall by himself, his clerk, servant or agent, expose or keep for sale or directly or indirectly, or 'upon any pretense or upon any de- vise sell or barter, or in considera- tion of the purchase, or transfer of any property or thing give to any person any liquor. Every person guilty of any of the provisions of this section shall for a first offence incur a penalty of not less than $200.00 nor more than $2,000.00, and in default of immediate pay- ment shall he imprisoned for a per- iod of not less than three or not more than six monthS, unless the penalty and costs are sooner paid, and in addition thereto sltall, in ev- ery case be imprisoned for a period of not less than one month and not more than three months." This am- endment came into force last May, and the substance of it was publish- ed in every newspaper in Ontario., Since the amendment became law no person who has been convicted of selling liquor in this province has escaped imprisonment for one or more months for the first offence.

As it was said to the Elders of old, you also may say, "I have kept nothing back that was profitable unto you, but have showed you and taught you publicly, and front house to house the whole counsel of God." .As a citizen you have filled a large place in our community, exemplify- ing by your daily walk and conver- sation the beauty of the Christian life. 1Virs.
