In chapter 5:3-11, we find the Beautitudes. The Ser- mon on the Mount, preached by Christ to his disciples and to the multitude of people which had followed Him from Galilee, many of whom He had healed from divers diseases, is the sermon referred to. The sermon deals with'' the principles of the Kingdom, but in the Beautitudes we find the character of our Saviour. There are few congregations which leaves a church, following a service, without some criticism . of the the sermon, either what was said by the minister or the manner the message was expounded. The story is told of a little boy who went to church with his father and when they came out the little lad said was that a good sermon father? The reply was one which should be a great lesson to each one of us. Every sermon, Johnnie, is a good sermon. If -we go to God's House, after praying to Him to give us some helpful mess- age we! will receiveit. Recently a `reran made a statement that he had tickets for a big church meeting, but as some other minister had criticized the speaker of the evening he did not know whether to go or not. We may have our own opinion of God's Ser- vants, but we are told in the Sermon on the Mount "Judge not, that ye be not judged". Meekness is at times associated with weakness, but there is no reason why we s'houid connect the two at all. We at times do not think that Meekness adds anything to our character. After all it is one of the biggest assets we have. Christ was meek or He would 1141 have spoken as He did in this verse. We very often confuse shyness with meekness, but some of the great- est people in the world have been meek. We need not go beyond our home district to see instances of this. A short time ago two friends visited me. One was a doctor who had done a wonderful work in connection with the Government. -So commendable had been her efforts that she had been honored by the King, The other was a minister of the gospel well known in the church as well as in the press. Although in his 96th year he still serves his Master from the pulpit, in Bible Class teaching visiting the sick and performing last rites for those who have passed on. Were either of them lofty in their attitude towards those who had not been able to do the work they have? No, they had the meekness of the Lord whom they served, We cannot serve God and: Mammon and we tnust make the choice. A nurse who had many honors con- ferred on her including an 0. B. E. visited• at times in a hospital. A nurse from the West expressed a desire to see the noted nurse. One day it so happened that the two met in the corridor. A patient said to the West- ern nurse well now you have had your wish, you have met Miss —. Oh, yes, I did but I did not know it was Miss —. D had no idea she was a humble woman like that. How much more creditable to the honored nurse than if her admirer had felt compelled to, say something to this effect. "Yes I met her and she certainly knows she has been highly honored, I would not ever want to speak to her unless she spoke to me" At times we feel that our position gives usthe privilige of what we might call looking down on some one who has not had' the chance to rise that we have, but if that thought ever should cross our minds let us think of our Saviour and realize that one of His chief characteristics was meekness. To use one of the common expressions of the day "snobbishness" does not get us any place. There are people who have risen in Iife and they have forgotten, almost to the degree of unkindness, those who were their friends or ass- ociates in the years before they rose in the business or Social World. People bring up the question that those who are meek never accomplish very much in the business or profess- ional world. We may believe in the "survival of the fittest," but some of those who are most meek in manner are the fittest to deal with problems of the day, and we can safely say that should we need professional or business advice we would much rather go to some one who is mild of manner and with whom we can talk as to a friend. Meekness does not by any means 'indicate lack of brain power. Jesus believed that the meek would "inherit the Earth" or He would not have made the statement. We should therefore be ready to accept the truth herein stated. Paul, in writing to the Galatians 5: 22: 23, tells them "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffer- ing, gentleness, goodness, faith, meek- ness, temperance, against such there is no law," There are several other instances where Paul mentions meek- ness as being an asset rather than a liability. Christ knows that we have a tend- ency to speak of meekness in a dis- paraging way, therefore "He takes the opportunity of stating that those who possess it shall inherit the Earth.» A. noted writer tells us that meek- ness may be compared to a fragrant tree which "bathes with it's perfume" the axe which cuts into it's bark. Christ was meek and what did He do? He returned love for hate, kindness for unkindness and good will for cruelty, what a lesson we can Iearn from that! If we were asked to name the man in the old Testament Who is the most noted for meekness many would claim Moses as best qualified for that title. Could anyone say Moses was not a strong minded man? He was perhaps the greatest lawgiver of all times. He was a man who was a illifiNeWS) PERFECT ATTENDERS.

It is said that once when the Duke of Wellington knelt at the communion table, a poor old man unaware of the Dukes presence,knelt beside him. At once some one touched the old man on the shoulder, motioning for bin to wait, Wellington had caught the meaning of the touch. Clasping the old mane hand he said, "Do not move, all are equal here," Psalm 37;11 assures us "the meek shall inherit the Earth." Christ knew that statement was true and if we read and believe God's word we too realize the truth of what Christ says. He does not tell us things which are not true no matter how some try to discredit His Word. In all walks of life we find that the meek are inheriting the Earth. This is true even among ,the nations of the world. In the past there have been all too many nations who have tried to grind down weaker countries. Such nations are doomed to disaster. The meek of the world are realiz- ing more and more that this quality will' bring us closer and closer to God, for in that way we will have a char- acteristic which God requires of His followers. Some say that people are made meek by those who drive them on' in their work from day to day. The' days of Uncle Tom and Legree are in the past and the meekness of Unele Tom in that capacity is practically unknown to -day. That meekness con- sisted largely of fear. Our Saviour did not include fear in His statement "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the Earth," It was indeed a here Wednesday afternoon, May 15, for Isaac Gamble, 68, clerk of Howick Township, interment was held in the Fordwich. Cemetery. Mr. Gamble died Monday, May 13, at his residence, concession four, Howick, where he had resided his entire lifetime. His widow and one son and one daughter survive.

This represents the difference between the power bills paid during the year, on an estimated basis, and the actual eget of power as determined at the end of the fiscal year by Hydro Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario. meekness such as is beneficial' not only to individuals but to all nations of the world. A father once said to his Son "My boy, treat everybody with politeness, even those who are rude to you, for remember you show courtesy to them not because they are gentlemen, but because you are one." Will we not each one of us, pray that God will give us that meekness which will make such a difference in our lives.
