THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA SEEKS NIGHT CONSTABLE SEAPORTII--eilemealing for the appointment of an assistant constable for night duty, Chief of Police John Currie told merabers of Town Coun- cil that it was impossible for one male to properly 'control situations Which develop from time tb time since •the Canada Temperance A.ct came into force.

Sin is common to everyone of us, and we have no right to con- demn anyone. Let us lee the mes- senger who will bear the good tidings of Salvation. The way of Salvation is made very easy for us. All we have to do is to believe on Jesus Christ and accept His free, yes feee, gift of Salvation. When we accept that gift we meet put 'we/idly things out.. Christ will not walk with us if we continue to keep in toecla with the worlel. 'People soinetimes say "Well, I can do what I like, it is I who has to stiffer." Is that in any sense true? No one suffers alone as a result of MIL The story is told of a vessel going out from ,lemea. On board was a passenger who, beneath his berth cut a hole through the ship's side. When the men of the watch expotulat- ed with him his reply was "what matters it to you? the hole I have made lies ander ray own berth!" We think that is a very thought- less idea but it is no more foolish than the sayings of the men and women and youth of today who think they can sin alone. The day our beloved Royal Family landed in South ,Atfriea it was report. ed that 1,200 girls in white spelt out the word "welcome". Banning how greatly we enjoyed seeing them when they toured our fair Dominion we can realize just what it means to the people of 'South Africa to see them. They will make them welcome. That same word "welcome" may be applied to us as we join with either good or evil, rightecrusne,se or sin. ' At times we think there is no harm in what we are doing. We make it a Tule of •oue lives that if we are going to partake in any pleas me we will , ask Christ ie He will go with us. He will answer our prayers and will guide us in what it is best for us to do. A young girl who had recently been brought to • Christ. asked the pastor of the aurch during an enquiry meeting if it was eight for her to dance. His reply was: "I do not need to answer that question. You must •settle It between you and your •Saviour. If you have to leave Him •outside of any place of amusement then it is not right for you to go." We have many very fine Christian young people today but we all know there are many who have no thought of Christ when they are ehoosing their amusements. We can easily settle the question by ask- ing oursetves. "Would I want to be found Inc certain place of amuse. ment if 'Christ were to come?" It was believed for many years that the portrait of Dante, Which had been painted on the walls of Bargello in Florence had been utterly destroyed, One •day an artist went to the place where it was reputed to have been 'painted. Ile found the place used as a storeroom. The walls were covered with dust and dirt. The artist carefully removed the white - wish. Gradually the lines of the port- rait began to show and at last the great work appeared in all its beauty. We must ask ourselves the question: "As a professing Christian have I allowed the world to so cover any Ohnistienity that thote Who are look- ing to me for guidance can see none ote my Saviour. Te we have done so let us right now kneel in prayer ask- ing God to xeconseerate our • lives to Him so that we may come back to our Teal enjoyment in., Jesus Christ and then that we may be the means of leading someone else to believe in Aim and accept Him as their per- sonal Saviour. "Jesus is stronger than Satan or sin, And Satan to Jesus must bow; Therefore. we triumph without and within, For Jesus is saving us now." `PEG" FINE COMMERCIAL PRINTING AVAILABLE RIGHT AT BOM 11 Let Us Quote You On Any Of These Admission Ticket's Auction Sale Bills Ballots Billheads Blotters, Blotting Paper Business Cards , Cashier's Checks Cheese Factory Envelopes Cheques Circular Letters Counter Check Books Dance Invitations Doctor's Stationery Dodgers Envelopes Egg Crate Cards Invitation Cards InVoices Labels Letterhead Meal Tickets Shipping Bills For Rent Cards li e, t PHONE 4 Memorial Cards Menus Noteheads Display Posters Order Forms Post Cards Posters Professional Stationery Programs Receipt Books Recipe Books Restaurant Meal Tickets Scratch Pads Shipping Tags Statements Store Sale Bills Tags Tickets Visiting Cards Voters' Lists Wedding' Stationery Window Cards Windshield Stickers CLINTON ••• ',•, eeegaeleeeeetereerip'yeateearereesayeeee. ae ebeeele,,,e le.eralteeeeeeeelietee #;,eceeeeee ee,e, GOGAMA S "WOLF MAN" 'TEEN TOWN OFFICIALS WINGHAM—Concluding a vigor- ous campaign teen-agers elected by ballot the fol/owing civic ofeicials for 'teen town for 1947: Mayor, Jim Hob - den; reeve, Gloria Swansoe, council— eoan lertafield, Jim Cummings, I Vivian Ernest, Joan Gregg, Florence!
