Those things have re- mained with us, and how we loved them, particularly when we began to read them for ourselves. We muskier those as old stories but when we think of the hymn, "The old o'd Story of Jesus and His Love", we realize that such tales are absolutely. modern. We try to visualize thefuture when many of our men and wo- men will have practically no knowledge of the beautiful hymns which we learned vyhile being rocked to sleep 'n the arms of'a dear mother, who perhaps has now spent many years'in'Glory Land.

More on that subject later, What words and tunes of any value are going to take the place of "When mothers of Salem, their children brought to Jesus", "Tell me the old old story", "Jesus loves me", • "Rock of Ages", etc. The answer to that question may easily be found Lf some night when we cannot coax sleep, we just turn the• dial of our radio around. There •is the occasional news broadcast, but for the greater part there is nothing but jazz. I suppose the authorities feel that there is no one listening at two d'clock in the morning who would `be at all interested in composi- tions of the great artists or in ;any broadcasts of world' interest. Many of these programs, we pre- sume, come from dance halls, for the time even in our own hemi- sphere.is different. I was glad to learn recently that the largest broadcast, either com- mercial or otherwise that comes over the air is that of "The, Old - Fashioned Revival Hour", spon- sored by freewill offerings of those who enjoy hearing Reverend Charles E. Fuller expounding God's Word, and the choir and choristers who take part in his service. The re -broadcasts are heard around the world, and how. much joy and comfort they bring to those who are privileged to listen. A couple of weeks ago be- tween five and six thousand peo- ple gathered to take part in the 23rd annivresary of the beginning of this marvellous offering 'of service to the Lord. Officials of the church do not need to turn God's House into a theatre or a place of debate on worldly clues - House; a consecrated people who believe that prayer is the founda- tion of God's work and who are willing to take an evening a week to pray earnestly that God will use His House to bring people to Himself; a minister who is a true under -shepherd of the Great Shepherd (how badly we need men who are not afraid to stand up and preach Christ, the Christ who died for your sins and who in spite of who is in the congre- gation will denounce anything which is contrary to that teach- ing; officials who are Christian men, not those who are holding office, just because some' one wanted them to, are absolutely necessary in the world today. It is indeed a tragedy where a ques- tion comes up before a Session and there are not enough men, real Christian men, who will take a stand for Christ on an issue which may mean the downfall of many young men and women. We do not need to say many. Some day before the Bar of Justice of God these members of the Session will stand responsible for the downfall of someone, and God will pronounce sentence on them. Members of the ruling bodies of God's House should be well and prayerfully chosen. There are men holding the highest positions in the Lord's House who for their stability and integrity would not be allowed to hold an executive position in a business firm. That is probably a strong statement, but the only backing we need for it is what is allowed to go on in God's House. To hold a position such as that requires a great sense' of responsibility. Two friends were talking one day. In reply to the question, "I see Mr. — has become a member of the Ses- sion," the man's wife replied, "Oh yes, some of the men wanted him to becomea member, so he decid- ed to join," From all appearances that was the only reason for •M—'s becoming of member of such an important body. Did he ever ask himself the question, "Does God want me to represent Him in that capacity?"

Gardiner left on Monday last, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gardiner, God- erich, on a motor trip to visit relatives in Texas. Porter's .Hill Community Club held their monthly meeting on Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Harris.,A very good turnout of members, their families and friends, was present. The meeting opened with "God Save the King", with the presi- dent, Mrs, J. A. Torrance, in charge. The minutes of the last meeting and the treasurer's re- port were read and adopted. After a business discussion the meeting closed. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing progressive euchre. Prize winners were: la- dies' high, Mrs. Don Harris; gent's high, Allen Betties.

May Go help us each one to consider wel before we accept any office i His work. It may be He does no want us there at all. He certain' does not if we are not Christie enough to take a definite stan for Him. It is not always easy for me or women to take a stand f Christ and to maintain that stan even in Christ's work. There ar times when a member of the ses sion will feel that if a motio which is contrary to his way o thinking and which is opposite to God's teaching is passed by the Session, that it will be necessary for him to leave not only the Session but also the church. Why should such questions arise among a number of men who are at least supposed to be followers of the Lord? The answer is guite plain, the world has crept in and there are members there who are not fully consecrated to Christ, They are not prepared to stand up and say, "I am on the side of right and will stay there no matter what the result may be." The old, old story which should mean so much to them has no longer a major part in their. lives. Oh, what a loss it is to them! ' There is nothing more beautiful than that story of Jesus and His love, Is that being taught today in the homes? Are children being sent to, Sunday School or better still are they' being taken there by their parents? They seem to be going everywhere else. Many of them spend hours at the movies and what they learn there is very often anything but what they should learn. Following a moving picture show recently a number of children of tender years were ask- ed what had impressed them at the show. It was really tragic what,their little minds had taken in; things which would probably {stay with them for the rest of their lives. It is really a very beautiful thing to hear people who are well on in years and who have been brought up in Christian homes talking of their young days. How happy they were and with what joy, love and respect they speak of their parents! It is true there was not a great deal of this world's goods In their homes, but they had the love of God, which meant much more to them. What will the children of the future have to think -about? Many of them will certainly not have "the old old story of Jesus and His love", Will we not do the best we can to help those with whom we come in contact to realizethat there is a God and that Ile is a . God of ove as well as of justice. Let us ake our Bibles .and read "the oId old story of Jesus. and His ove". d 1 n y n or d e n f 1 t 1 Cat de N of DETROIT FACING GRAND CIRCUS PARK The Tuller, a modern hotel far those who want the best!

He was greatly taken by surprise. Carnival Great Success Owing to the extreme cold wea- ther prior to the Brucefield Skat- iny Carnival, the ice in the rink was keen and contributed much toward making the carnival a grand success, and although the temperature was low a very large crowd was in attendance.
