As one who is in great need of wood

there is nothing hulked of these days

I tun sure that big Joe and Town

after the retail end of it, otherwise, if a
scheme of this kind is not carried out
1 can see visions of nieny of us paying
awful price for wood, I remember
years ago when 1 bought four foot
cordwood for $3:00 e cord. Now some
farmers are taking advantage of the
situation and charging at the rate of
022,00 a cord, and working people
can't stand it.

only allowed by law to have 50 cents

The Wood Question
Lo udeseboro, • Oct. 29th,
Editor of New Era,—
The New Era was pretty hard .in last
week's issue on farmers who are asking
considerably more for wood than it
used to sell for. Even insinuating if
they were in Germany they would be
shot. Do the tutvn people forget that
almost everything the farmer has to
buy has doubted tit price. Besides it
costs three times as much to cut wood
as it used to. There is. very little a
farmer Inas to sell that be has any con-
trol over the price of and when he
has' he is justified in asking a price

400 YEARS OF PROTESTANTISM
before a large audience the papal bull
which apprised him of his fall front

This marked the first period of the
Reformation, its well as the first per-
iod of Luther's life. He went on with
his work; spending most of Isis time
in writing these and disputations.
and in translating the Bible into the
language of the people. In this work
he was helped by the most famous
scholars of the time,
It is in recognition of this work of
Luther and those associated with him
that the Protestant churches are now
working together adequately to honor
his memory. According to the Rev.
1) i1, Panntike, secretary of the quadri-
centenary committee of New York, 15,-
000 churches in that vicinity are co-
operating, including all denominations.
The Sunday Schools, Men's Bible class-
es, Young People's associations, theolo-
gical- universities and seminaries thro-
ughout the country are behind the mo-
vement to make 1 91 7 a renaissance of
the Reformation. The password of
those participating is "[aspiration, ed-
ucation, transformation," the three out
standing charateristics of the work of
Luther, Prominent clergymen have
addressed meetings throughout the
country' dealing with all phases of the
Reformation.
Among (lie topics to be treated dur-
ing the weeks before the celebration's
climax are Martin Luther and Political
Liberity, 'The Influence of the Reforma-
tion on Commercial and Industrial De-
velopment, Social Influence of the Re-
formation. The Reformation ;and the
Public School, Dr, Nicholas Muray
Butler, when asked for his opinion of
the celebration, said:

shalt knew that I ata the Lord" (verse
13). So the king of Israel and his men
slew the Syrians with a groat slaughter
(verse 21).
Then the Syrians said, "!'heir gobs
are the gods of the hills, so we will
fight against them ht the plain and
shall surely conquer them." There-
fore a man of Cod came, again to Ahab
with this message, 'Because the Syri-
ans have said the Lord is God of the
hills, but He is not God of the valleys,
therefore will I deliver all this great
multitude into thine hand, and ye shall
know that I am the lord" (verse 28).
Again the little flocks of kids had the
victory over the great host of their
enemies and slew 100,000 in one dray,
and a wall fell upon 27,000, It stakes
us think of tine day when more died
by the hailstones which the Lord east
down from heaven than they whom
the children of Israel slew with the
sword (Josh, x, 11!, sad also of the
185.000 whom an angel slew in one
night (TT Kings xix, 35).
ITow many ways the Lord has to ac-
c,>mplish Llts purposes, and at the close
of nearly two years of this madness of
the nations (lune, 10151,), we cannot
but wonder what would haitpoe it
Israel's God should conte and reuse to
,keep silence (Ps. I, 3). These two great
deliverances were intended to least
Ahab to know the Lutd.(vorses 13, 25),

ly, The worst of shiners and of
drunkards may be saved, have been
saved, but there roust be an honest
turning to the Lord with the whole
heart.
In chapter xxi, 20-20, we see Ahab
)rumbling himself before the Lords and
being spared it little longer, but in
chapter xxil, 27, we see hint putting a
servant of. the Lord in prion and feed -
Ing him with bread fold water because
he spoke the truth. Olt, how wonder-
ful is the patience ausl long sull'ering
of the Lord with all sinners. not will-

Sntan under our feet shortly, and Ile
is able to deliver from his power oven

4 ON.i.)S 'ir'e issued payable in ten or twenty years, as the case may be.
it means that repayment of the money will be spread over ten or twenty
yC%iI.5 instead of being realised by taxation to meet current expenditures.
To raise by taxation all the money as 'fast as it is needed to carry on
Canada's share in w'eIlnil'tg; the war, would be an unbearable burden upon
tlhe p; )pl:.
It 1,vouii !:lean that more than a million dollars a day would have to be.
raised right now.
But to raise -money by selling Canada's
Victory 13o.ids 311011.1144 that those of the
next generation w,w-hit will benefit by the
sacrifices tliis migration nt maks!!„
--who will share .in tine freedom this
generation is fighting for anti largely paying
for—will also pay their share.
And when you buy Canada's Victory
Bonds you make a first-class business in-
vestment in a security that is absolutely
safe, likely to enhance in value after the
war, and bearing a good rate of interest.
You help the country by keeping open
.the British market for Canadian products
and this helps the general welfare in which
you share.
And again, every Canadian who buys
a Victory Bond becomes a 'financial partner
or backer of Canada in the war.
When you btiy a Canada Victory Bond,
you give a personal pledge that you are
going to help to win the war.
Every pian and woman in Canada can
help to will the war by buying Canada's
Victory Bonds. And Canada wants the
personal, individual interest and co-opera-
tion of every loan and woman in the
country.
.The buying of Victory Bonds by the
whole people unites then in a determination
to win the war.
Every purchase of Canada's Victory
Bonds is •a blow for freedom against the
tyranny of German Kultur.
Every bond sold is a new guarantee
that Canada is in the war to the finish,
until victory is with the Allies and the
world has been made safe to live in.
Every bond you buy is a -new pledge
that Canada will remain true to herself, the
Empire, the Allies and to freedom's cause,
So it is both patriotic and, good busi..
ness to
Buy Canada's Victory .
