Am I , What 1 Appear To Be?
By "PEG"
Atn I what I appear to be? T
that question each one of us no mat,-
ter 'how •loyal to Christ we try to
be, must answer "no."
In the morning we may pray to
out Heavenly Father to go with us
every step of the way as we journey
through the day, Yet at night all
we can do is to ask forgiveness for
the sn etakes .we have made as we
pass the milestones of the hour, and
tell Ham He knows our ;heart and that
we did try to show to those about us'
that we were Hds followers. Very
often we unintentionally) do what is
wrong, but that ',does not make it
right. How thankful we are that we
have a Heavenly Father Who is lov-
ing, understanding and above all for-
giving.
There are many prisoners in our
penal 5nstitutes to -day who are there
because they have ',counterfeited".
They have stolen some one elses
signature, .plan of design, or idea.
They have not Srorked to earn these
things for themselves, but have gone
contrary to .the law by making it
apparent that they are what they are
not. As they have been unsuccessful
in their plans, so we may be doing
just the same thing if we profess to
show to the world that we are Christ-
ians end yet persist in doing that
which has not the ebaane) of :,Christ on
it. We may not be doing anything
for which we can on Faith bo sent -
emcee to a prison term but how it
must grieve our Saviour who did so
much for us and not only that but by
our actions we may hold )some one
hack from accepting Him as their
personal Saviour. Noone has any
right to follow our counterfeiting
habits for Christ Himself is the ex-
ample wbioh we should follow, and to
Him we will be responsible.
It is interesting to hear a Iawyer
speak of the ignorance of those who
practice • counterfeiting. Although
they study a hill of any crirraney yet
it is rernarkable how much they miss
on it. How many of tis could tell,
offhand; just what design is on the
different coins and bills even .of the
Dominion of Canada.
Every day of our lives we counter-
feit.' We see a friend doing some-
thing. We think we would like to do
it and we begin to copy it, be it good
or bad. At times there is no harm in
what we are doing, but never on any
occasion have we any right to copy
an idea, unless it is public, without
o the permission of the one who has
shown it to us. It may be they have
spent ham in wearing out the design
or plan and we ,have no eight to take
their idea as if it were our own,
A little child in the home very often
comes out with an idea or an express-
ion which may amaze and even startle
the parents. They, know the child did
n'dt learn it at home and they realize
that he is imitating something which
the has heard outside. In this con-
nection 'children will go into other
homes, ask questions and come away
with expressions which no child of
such tender years could think out.
Parents •should be very guarded in-
deed as to what they say in. front of
elid1dren and when a child becomes
old enough to understand he eaeuld
be taught; not to repeat what he over
hears or is told to which any import-
ance is attached. People should not
pay any attention to the speeches of
a child. Needless to say friendships
have been broken by remarks of a
little one. . •
Anything which is' counterfeit is
pra>oticaliy always made of an infer.
mequality to the original. How
many of us have found ourselves
.owners of a 25 or 50 cent piece which
is counterfeit. The tragedy of it is
thattat times it has been given to us
by someone who knew it was count-
erfeit, ,Clan anyone who does a, thing
like that expect to prover? It may
be that the ,person who receives the
coin is much worse off than the dis-
honest one who passes it ,on. ,Because
we have been cheated) it does not
mean that we have to .give to others
something which is not true.
Bishop Mauro was once crossing
the Indian Ocean en a boat which
were two women passengers who
were avowed atheists. They argued
atheisan en Ms presence day after
day. Finally as they neared their
distination one of the women asked.
Bishop Thoburn how he could' listen
s+espectfully to their arguments for
two weeks. and not • be convinced.
Bishop Thoburn replied that he had
never heard :.the cause of atheism
more brilliantly put. He had enjoyed
the 'conversation as an intellectual ex.
erase' but that there was no more
likelihood of convincing him of the
non-existence of God' for 40 years.
What a testimony •of the life of Bish-
op Thoburn to those who had tried to
Change his view point throughout the
history of the world Even i th

early days of our own Dominion, men
have v laiddown their lime '
v than
s rathe r hn
allow .these with whom they have
worked to think there was anything
eounteitfeit about their • fellowship
with their Saviour,
According to, God's word we are not
to Judge, but •there is one person to
whom that :does not•. apply' and that
is ourselves. Some day we will appear
in the -collet room of the highest Trib-
unal. Jesus Christ, the Chief Justice
of that )Supreme. Court, will be seated
on the throne. He is a righteous
Judge and it is a trial by Judge alone.
There is no jury to hear evidence
and to bring in a verdict through
which the Judge 'will pass ' sentence.
Something stronger than any truth.
;telling device is .in use. We cannot
by any means telt what is false. We
stand before Christ' just as we are.
Our earthly life is over. The days
Of our counterfeiting are over. Wheth-
er we Ike it or not that day 'will
conte to each one of us. There is no
wag of escape. Why do we not in our
minds take ourselves every day be-
fore that Judge and learn what aynr
sentence is? It will help us to pre-
pare for that great day of Judgment
which will be the last,
• has a tragic condition to not know
Christ at all, but we oftirnes wonder
if our sentenee will not be more
severe if we profess to know ,Hun;
if we talk Christ to others/gee-log
them. the impression that we are
followers of Itis and yet in our own
hearts, and by our words and actions
we are daily following the devil. It
matters not what they will think of
us when they find out we are just
countrefeitera but it does ' matter
What the just Judge of all the world
knows about us.
We may say "I do the )beet 1 can"
That may be true but we cannot do
aur hest ifwe work alone. If we
would only ,say. I do the best which
Christ and 1 together can do, what
a difference there would be in our
lives.
Ef we are true Olnistains we go to
the table of the Lord with a feeling
of undeservedness, Gipsy Smith (the
original) in his Sermon. "Born Ag -
pin" says "It Is .possible to take the
cup of eommmnion and never take the
Cup of 'Salvation". Dr. Alexander
Whyte tells the following story
During a communion service the
great scholar ".Rabbi" ,Duncan saw a
woman with falling tears pass the
cup untested, He left his place at the
table and himself give the cup to the
weeping woman saying "Take it
woman; it's for .sinners." We are all
sinters but how thankful we are
that we can be saved by grace.
A beautiful story is told of how
one night Charles Lamb and some
friends were talking about people
whom they would like to meet. One
mentioned Chaucer, another Sir
Thomas Brown At length the name
of the lowly Nazarene was mentioned
renewing a pause Lamb said in a
low voice. "If )Shakespeare'eame into
the room we should all stand up, but
if He came we would all knell" How
much happier the world would be if
we would only recognize Christ es
our ,Saviour and kneel before Him,
pledging ourselves to co-operate with
Him in the effort to bring the world
to Him. Will we not do that right
now?
To every man there openeth
A way and ways and a way;
And the High Soul cimb the
Highway,
And the low Soul gropes the low.
And in between. in the misty flats,
,The rest drift too and fru.
But to every man their openeth,
L l High way and a low,.
And every man decideth
The way his ,Sould shall go."

AN ODD MAN A, BUT*
DON'T BREAK''
STREET LAMPS
Breaking windows is an odd and expensive mania that most
sane people manage to control. Breaking insulators on Hydro
poles, or shattering street lights, is an, even more costly pastime that
an astonishing number of boys and men fail to curb.
An insulator or street light sits up so invitingly .. and, to the
uninformed seems such a,smatt and insignificant piece of equip-
ment that it presents a tempting target. Few people would break
insukators or street lights if they understood the damage that can
result.
A broken insulator can cause a short circuit and cut the service
on a line. The homes, the factory, the hospital or the stores depend-
ing on that line' are cut off from power until the insulator can be
replaced. Housewives are inconvenienced. Factories can be
stopped with possible pay tosses to the workers, Human lives can
be endangered, especially in a hospital.
Broken street lights imperil both foot and vehicle traffic,
and create•an invitation to crime.
To repair damaged jnsulators and replace broken street lights
requires men, trucks and possibly miles of travel. It all adds up to
a bigpricefor a tare and o
target n Hydro consumers pay that .price.
Please use your influence at every opportunity to prevent the
deliberate or careless destruction of public properly,
