She had been in ill- health ll health for the past four weeks cause they have had too much money to spend and have not had wise guidance in the dis- posing of it. Many of us refuse to give to the cause of the Lord throughout the world. We. feel we have not money to contribute. After all, whose money are we spending? If it were not for our Saviour we would have none of this world's goods. There are many questions arise as to what we should do with our funds. In the first place we should tithe what God has given to us. Should we be satisfied with that? No, besides that we should be happy to give our free will of- fering, Some of us think now since I have done that what should I do with that money. To Christians the answer should be quite clear. That portion be- longs absolutely to God. Some- times and in fact many times we try to make ourselves feel just- ified in using that to pay our way into a church concert or in buying something at a church bazaar or in purchasing something to be sold in a church. God never intended that His money should be used in that way. It is a great wonder that Christ does not punish us in some way for such actions just as He drove the money changers out of the temple. Oh, that we would read His word and do as the are told to do! If we would give our tithe and our free will offering there would be no need to hold el -parch ba- zaars. It is truly a fine gesture to have the members of the church come together for a social evening, but we should not make it a means of gathering money to advance the Lord's Kingdom. Let us give this our serious thought. Many times church members and adherents will gather together to make money, SEAFORTH FAIL FAIR THUR. h- FRI.

Formerly Jane Emily Johnston, she was born in Stanley Town- ship, own ship, a daughter of .Matthew and Mary Turnoth Johnston, pioneers who came from Emuskillen, Ire- land, While quite young she mov- ed ov ed with her parents to a fa on the Bayfield Road, Goderich Township. After graduating from Goderich Collegiate Institute and Ottawa Normal School, she taught school at Taylor's Corners, Code - rich Township, and later in Shep- pardton, where she met and mar- ried John B. Graham. They farm- ed successfully in Ashfield until 1923, when they retired to Gode- but when they are asked to come to God's House for a season of prayer it is altogether a different proposition. What a tragedy takes place right in our own church! This is well worth considering seriously. We sometimes hear people say that when they wish to send something to a friend or acquaint- ance, that they feel quite justified in taking it from the . Lord's money. It is difficult to know how to deal with some of these problems. There are many oc- casions when we are too prone to go to the box which contains the money which we have set aside for the Lord anduse the money contained therein for things which we should be glad to use our own money for. Let us consider this matter very care- fully lest we lose the blessing which we would be otherwise entitled to. As parents how are you guid- ing your children in the distribu- tion of their money. In the days long since gone there was a time when children received no week_ ly allowance. It is a splendid idea if they are taught to divide their money as they should. There are many homes where tithing and free will offering are never included in the allowance. Money for movies, candies, sports, etc., are counted in the budget. There are those who received no allow- ance until such time as we began to earn for ourselves but we can recall the time when we arrived home with our first pay envelope, and a dear mother, now many years in the Glory Land, pointed out what a wonderful privilege it was to have money from which we could take our tithe and our free will offering. Lessons learn- ed in those yoyng days will re- main emain with us as long as memory lasts We can hide nothing from God, "Thou God seest me." If we are Christians we do not want to hide' anything for God has freely of- fered us pardon for our sins and if we have not accepted Him as our personal Saviour, He knows that and is pleading with us to' come to him. He knows what we do with the money which is really His. Let us have the j great joy of giving to Him that which is really His own. "PEG" MRS. MELVIN McPREE Rev. A. W.
