Most Prosperous Year. The Brussels Post -LE1�� p 0 6 Sunday School Lesson BY CHARLES G. TRUMBULL (editor of Tho Bund,iy School Tlmos) REVIEW: FROM ATHENS TO ROME. Sunday, Dec. 27.—Romans 8:31- 39, Golden Text: Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:1). From Athens to Rome, in Paul's life and missionary journeying, meant :t period of ten years, from A. D.:13 to 63.. Athens, Corinth, Ephc = is, Miletus Jerusalem, Caesa- rea, Melita or 'Malta, and Rome: what do these places mean to us? A profitable review may be had by run- Tungthrough the outstanding exper- iencs of Paullin each of these places and then studying the review lesson Passage in the eighth chapter of Romans, as Paul's inspired commen- tary on what the Lord had done for him. It will help us to do this if we read from Acts 17:15 to the end of the book (28.31). In addition to this historical material, the quarter's les- sons included three from Paul's Epis- tles -1. Cor. 12: 1 to 13; Eph. 6: 1- 20; I1, Tim. 3; 10,11; 4:6-18. , At Athens, idolatry was a chal- lenge 'to Paul, and he offered men a living God, a Saviour who had died and had been raised from the dead. At Corinth, when persecution threatened, Christ appeared, to Paul in a vision, and assured him of His Presence and protection. We have the same Lord, "the same yesterday, and today, and forever" (Heb. 13 8). The First Epistle to the Corin- thians (12:1 to 13:13) shows us, not only that Christ is always with be- lievers, but that they are actually members of His body, and may ex- perience the miracle of perfect love, which never faileth, ,in their lives. At Ephesus, Paul's Gospel—the only Gospel—interfered with busi- ness; and the business men became very religious to save their profits. The Le ttge,r to the Ephesians (6: 1- 20) tells how to be completely and continually successful in God's sight. At Miletus, we bad a glimpse of Paul's loving care for those to whom he ministered, and of their deep lova for him. True Christianity binds people together in a love that the un - Bush whac kers and Scholars HOULD always have Honey in st their dinnerp s ail . It makee a meal appetizing and not finly so, but warming and healthful; and really economical- If children must have sweets give them honey the hest in all the world. We, of course, recommend the kind we produce. Jim Ross and Will McCracken can supply you if you do not wish to come up for it. G. A. Deadman saved can never know. At Jerusalem, the deep-seated hate red of the Jews, as a people, against Christ and the Gospel, wreaked itself upon Paul, and the severest persecu- tion of his life began. It was the "of- fense of-fense of the Cross" that enraged the Jews. It was not Paul, primnrily, but Christ, whom they were rejecting. Nineteen centuries of their continued rejection tells the story of their tra- gedy and loss. But it will not last forever; the day is coming, when like Saul on the way to Damascus, they shall see Him who they have persecut ed, and turn to Him with broken hearts, "and so all Israel shall be saved" (Rom. 11:26). There followed Paul's various trials; on the stairs of the castle in Jerusalem, when the Chief Captain gave him permission to address the Jewish mob, and he told the story of his conversion; before .the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem, when his testimony to Christ's resurrection divided his ac- cusers; at Caesarea, before Governor Felix, when Paul's accusers could prove nothing against him; again at Caesarea, before Governor Festus, when Paul made the famous "appeal unto Caesar"; and finally at the seine place before King. Agrippa. Here Paul told again the story of his con- version, and apparently lerippa was "almost persuaded," but, like so many others, he rejected eternal life and chose death. On the voyage toward Rome Paul's spiritual vision_ was accompanied by more practical common , sense than any one else on board had—includ- ing even the hard-headed centurion, and the experienced sailing master. Christ was the real Sailing Master, and for Paul's sake He saved the lives of all on board. Are we that sort of.blessing to all around us? At Melita even a venomouss ser- pent could not injure Paul, and dis- eases of the islanders ;were healed by his touch in the name of Jesus. Miracles marked the beginning of the new dispensation of grace. Then came two years of blessed ministry in Rome, and how many souls there passed out of death into life through Paul's testimony, only eternity, will reveal. But we have •the same privilege that Paul had—that of testifying in season and out of sea- ' son, to the saving power of our Lord Jesus Christ. There could be no more fitting pas- sage to conclude these marvellous studies in the Rook of Acts,than the :latter part of the eighth hapter of Paul's Letter to the Romans. "Wbnt shall we then say to these things? If . God be for us who can be against us," What follows in that chapter is Paul's autobipgraphy; and God wants it to be the -biography of each of us. God offers to "freely give us all things" in Cllriet. Are we daring to trust Him for this. Have we sinned sorely, in ways that we do not dare to think about, Yet if we have received Christ as our Saviour those sins have been laid upon Christ, and He, by His death and resurrection, has carried thein away and removed them farther from Us than the East is from the West. No one, then, can "lay anything to •.the charge of God's elect.

PASTORAL LETTER EXPLAINS BUDGET but with such action we are certain to have it. I can see no reason why we Anglicans should not have a 100 per cent. budget in our parishes ns well as other communions but we find that other communions do visit par- ishes in the way suggested above and secure a full budget by personal visi- tation." - Bishop Williams Tells of $84,000 To NORTH HURON RECOUNT Be Raised. A pastoral letter addressed to the rural deans and deanery chairmen of the laymen's associations of -the Dio- Bishop Williams in regard to the dio- cesan budget, which was recently set at $84,090. Co -operations: is urged and concentration on those parishes where budget prospects need bolster- ing up.. The bishop urges a close adherence to a program recently outlined by the diocesan executive committee to the effect that "during the season of Epi- phany, every parish in the diocese should be visited by a strong deputa- tion of clergy and laymen, and that on the following Monday the work be followed up by personal canvass, if necessary, and so far as possible have a guarantee of 100 per cent. budget" and "that this work be under taken by the rural deans and deanery chairmen of the Layman's Associa- tion and anyone they see fit to call on. In part, the letter follows: "Dear Brethren—At the meeting of the executive committee, held to- day, it was felt that our present way of allowing the laymen to make the chief presentation for the budget, while good and generous on the part. of the laymen, nevertheless is not the best•way of achieving the object which we desire. We need to have the co-operation of both the clergy and the laity if we are to get the hest results, and it is felt that these re- sults can only be obtained if an ar. rangement is made in every deanery whereby a capable deputation of a clergyman and a layman, and those the best men in the deanery, should visit every parish where the budget' is at all uncertain, and if necessary canvass that parish until a full bud- get is assured. Moreover it was felt t that thisworkshould be done at the year andnot of the at the beginning en . I feelmirethat you will do all that' you can to help in this important matter, for without such action we are 'not going to have a full budget, I MAY BE EARLY IN WEEK Disputed Ballots Exp d to Re- turning Officer Should. Reach 'Him cese of Huron has been sent out by . Monday (Saturday's Toronto Star), The recount in the North 'Huron elections will probably take place early next week, for the ballots in dispute, which were thrown out by the recount judge, who is now order- ed to count them, are being sent by express from Osgoode Hall Satur- day. The ballots in dispute and their envelopes are being sent to C. A. Nairn, returning officer for North Huron at Goderich. The formal order of the second divisional court was signed Saturday, dismissing the appeal of George Spot - ton, Conservative candidate elected on a small majority on the recount, from the order of Mr. Justice Wright directing the counting of these bal- lots. The second recount is expect- ed to give John Warwick Kings the Progressive candidate, a majority. H. A. Hall, of the legal firm of Starr, Spence, Fraser and Hall, was at Osgoode to -day completing the ar- rangements for the return of the bal. lots. Mr. Nairn was informed by long distance telephone to expect the ballots to arrive in Goderich Monday morning. As soon as the ballots reach the returning officer, Richard Vanstone, of Wingham, counsel for King, will serve a copy of Mr. Justice Wright's order on Judge Lewis and ask for an appointment for the second recount. It is expected that the whole proceed- ing will be, completed well before the time the Dominion Parliament meets on January 7 next.

The "Post Letter Box A CORRECTION i J. L. Kerr, Esq., ee `' Brussels, Ont., 1 Dear Sir:— In a recent issue of the Post, I notice an error, in reference to the location of General Sir W. D. Otter's birthplace. It stated it was situated on the present site of the Clinton House of Refuge. Now, this cannot be so as the east side of the London Road was solid bush from Clinton to about 100 acres beyond the House of Refuge many years after the birth of Genl. Otter, but, he was born in a house on the other or west side of the London Road nearly op- posite pposite to the House of Refuge I have been in the house on two or three occasions while occupied by Capt. Lindsay. I have seen -this er- ror published some time ago but did not take pains to correct 14. Respectfully yours, Wm.

Dear Sir: se — Will you please allow space in your paper to reply to an item in last week's issue over the signature of J. C. Higgins, which may give a wrong impression to some of your readers.. While we consider his communication unworthy of notice, yet we consider it but fair to give your readers the real facts. The charge mentioned in the letter referred t o as of a serious nature is Paragraph 1, Sub. -Section A & B of the appeal made to the church Pro- perty Committee and signed by James Kirton, Mrs. Peter S. McEwen, John Mundell, Jas. Moffatt, Jas. E. Nichol, J. C. Higgins and John Hutton which clauses are as follows: JOHN W. KING John W. King, who will it foe' North Huron in the next parliament, according to a decision brought down by Mr. Justice Wright in Supreme Court on Friday. Justice Wright overruled the decision of County Judge Lewis, of Goderich, who in making a recount, haddeclaredGeo. Spotton, Conservative; elected by a majority of eight over the Progres- sive Candidate. and the actual revision of the Com nxunion Roll that the charges were un true. - At a meeting of the Session on Jan. 11, 1924, at which were present, Rev C. Tate, (Moderator and Clerk) and Messrs. George McDonald, John Mundell, Archie Messer, Jas. Moffatt and James Nichol'(Elders) the fol- lowing motion was passed!
