By "PEG" "Oiseday in 1895 or early 1896 my sister and I' bad been sent to town :for some butter. We ,lived two miles from town which was a quint seaside resorb from, E'ng'land. Asa rule weused to dawdle on our way home looking m all the shop windows. That day it was dif.- ferett for in the very next street we saw a crowd of people and child- like we stopped to watch. The crowd' was Lathered: around a :; large abject outside of one of Thomas. Lipton's shops. Just as we' got .opposite, 'a man appeared 'from Lipton's and the crowd moved aside. He was dressed in a long light coat, a cap: with a visor. He also had on gauntlet gloves and goggles. Then we saw the large object was a carriage which was' quite high with brass lamps in front. Where were the horses.? The man went to the maehine,l did something to it and then climb- ed up into the d'river's seat. Ainid loud noises and repbrts, it, moved slowly along the strests with lurses shieing in all °directions. We reached honie bursting with our strange tale. My Mother believed we were making it up but my Father said we must have seen one of those new htorseless carriage. That was my fiat sight of an automobile:" Many years have gone by sinae that experience but the friend who told It remembers it very clearly. It may be we recall a similar ex- perience. We at times realize just what a lot of goad has been done in the world by the autom.obii'e whioh. has now long :passed the stage of our story. Then too we can see a great deal of harm which it has done especially by its use ' on the. Isord's Day. There are families whose Sunday was usually spent in going to church and Sunday School, but when the car came into use , it seemed' to be the only day they had to go visiting their relatives and friends, with the result that God's House was put to one .sirle. Parents felt that they could not go and leave 'the children alone. Consequently the • ehildren were taken 'from Sunday School. What has been the result of that? Only the .record written in the next world can .tell. Children were taken from the services of God's House and they Kaye never got . back to the happy days of their childhood. Their foot - 4 -beim no longer wend their way to the House of .God. Parents, in the first ,place led them astray and we cannot help but feel that those parents who should' have guided theirfootsteps fo tstep:s in a different way will have to answer to God :far their actions. along' that line. Can we wonder that Goal has al- lowed. this. terrible war when we think how His day is disregarded? The great Wonder is, that we, here in Canada have not long ago had to suffer as those in European Coun- tries. God has been good to us, but we certainly do not deserve it. • We have had a long hard winter and what has been a usual sight 011 our streets on Sunday? Children and young people and •oftienes older people have been seen •even at the time of church and Sunday Schaal going along the streets with skates, toboggans and skis making their way to Maces of amusement. 'Special trains have been rust to the Northern: parts of our :fair province carrying crowds to enjoy the. winter sports. In the majority of eases S even the most strict of Christian people are in,fa'vor ofr rood clean oan spoxtsliut not on the Lord's Day. Many of our young men and women are now in the field of battle and are working Sunday as well as every other day. It maybe that from the last war sten and women came home with a different idea of how to spend the'Sabbath than they had before they went away. There were many promises made at that time. that if the Lord would only bring the war to a close that we would give the Lord His proper place in our lives. Have we done it? Decided- ly not. It does seem we have gone from bad to worse, Prior to that Han* our churches were enlarged to accommodate the etowds -who would attend, but now many churches are closed. on Sunday• evenings, and in. the majority of cases if they are open there .aye very few 'attend'. The hour of the Sunday School has been changed so that children and parents may enjoy the Day in plea- sure. Frayerr meetings have largely passed' into history. There are many children .to -day Whose parents 'will tell" you they have no control. over ,theist. They have been allowed their own way in their young days. As they grow older the parents try to exercise control over them but their efforts are fruitless. If the parents of such children listen carefully they will hear the'Lord saying to them, "Ap- parently you have no control over those I have entrusted into your care to bring up so that they •might spend Eternity' with- me. Solite day when trouble comes`' into• their lives they will scorn you for your inability to control them in their childhood and youth?' We can 'imagine some youths who were taken from 'church in their young days looking in amazement at their parents when in their older days they tried to persuade them to ge to 'church or.. Sundgy 'School. We might even hear them.' say when being rebuked for their Sunday.. activities, "Why Mother and Dad what is the matter with you now? We used to go to 'church and Sunday School but it is different now. We used to like to go to Sunday Sehool but it is different now. We like •to go out withthe crowd. In the winter we skate, toboggan and ski. In the summer we like to play tennis and go :boating and sailing. Yon never used to say anything to us, what has started all this l p oar now?' You have been the means of taking us away frotrb ' God's y G d House. We used to have ElUle Reading and prayer here at home and now we never do. We have had very little since we gat the car. There is no use of trying to change us now, but Mother and Dad we have talked this matter over long ago and we :feel that you are responsible for the change in our lives." Did your son on• daul iter• ever speak to you like that. If y,ouhave allowed your, car to ruin their lives then you must feel that .you deserve it. Never in the history' of the world: has there been such cruel action' as are being performed' to -day. Probate. ly by the time this article appears the war with Germany will' lie• over. That country which -might have . been such a base of learning: and culture will be no more a nation. Why? Because Adolph Hitler compelled the majority of his subjects to defy. God. From the time children were very small they were taught' to hate and the result is being shown' to -day in the terrible stories which are being published in our daily. papers. Could we ever have imagined that the men and women who were responsible for these actions _ were at one time innocent babies?' They are being punished some by tldeii own countrymen in a most terrible fashion, some will be brought to• trial, some will perhaps end their own lives. .

It may be they will never rise to the power of these men, but there is cruelty right in our own oouotiy. Much of it can be traced back to the time when people' felt they tould' afford to buy a car. There is little gasoline for plea- sure now, but even at that there are thole who are saving up during tht week' in order' that they may travel across' the country on. Sunday. We cannot confine that only • to• those Who are not Christians for there 'are many who profess_ to be followers of the. meek and. •lowly, Jesus, the Sav dour who died that we•andght .spend' Eternity with Hdin who will go in their own or someone else's ear. and will spend the Lord's Day in ' pleasures which are not in accord I with Fits -command. Do we .belong to that group. (remember the ;Sabbath day, to keep it holy, • Six days shalt thou; labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy eon, nor thy daughter, thy .manservant,; nor thy maid- servant aidservant nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: Ivor in six days the Lord; made hen:: ver and earth, the sea aincl' all that in them is, and hosted the seventh day: Wherefore the Lord 'blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
