As is true with the other one command- inent s. thiso e speaks for itself: A. column in one of the city papers at the present time is recalling old time murder cases. One night re- cently the story was told of the tragic killing of a. little child. That is within the life- time of many of us. The writer brought out the idea that the criminal should not have been hanged and probably would 'not have been at this date. Why? Because he was not mentally sound and was a moral derelict.. We wonder why these inen, when once they have been in a mental institution, are not kept under closer supervision. H they are not respon- sible for their actions, why are they allowed to roam at large, proving a menace to decent people as well as an expense to the country? There is the problem of lives which have been taken by those who are intoxicated. Is' our Government just- ified in allowing poison to be manu- factured, a substance which will so unbalance,the minds of men and wom- en that they will take the lifeof a fellow being and then not be able e to recall what they have done. Whose fault is it? We must acknowledge that it is your fault and it is arsine. We have a vote. Do we go to the polling 'booth and vote for someone whose . character we know nothing about or do we try to find out what kind Of a man or woman we are voting for? Do we read the political platform of the different parties and above all do we pray that God will lead us to vote aright? It aright be that many people would" think it a piece of nonsense to pray about voting, but mothers and fathers, if '%f /T'S80RDfN'S, /T'SOT, TO aFcoon!" Says Elsie, the Borden Cow: "And that goes double for Borden's Ice Cream because it's so creamy -smooth ... and every iiavor's so delicious". Treat. your family to Borden's Ice Cream tonight. 0 The Borden co. Ltd. AT YOUR NEAREST BORDEN DEALER Get Borden's Ice Cream in brick, bulk or MelOroL %mtima ICE CREAM you knew thieyour,son .or daughter was in danger of being slain, by a man who: had lost his senses through drink, o3 by a drunkdie driver, and you knew your vote, would save that young life, would it take you long to get down on your knees and ask for God's guidance? Then, whyehould we scoff at the idea ofpraying to God for His help in knowing' for whom to vote? There aremany, many ,cases which come under the law.Those trials have taken place since the time of ?loses., There have:. been many true Chris- tian judges and lawyers, and our hope isthat as our young men and women take up this practise that they -will realize that . God can and will guide, them even in this very difficult pro- fession. , Killing in Battle The question has been asked time. and again. How can, one justify this commandment with the killing in battle? During both world warsthere have been men Who have refused to go into war service because they felt they world be brealting this command- ment ..if they did. Spine of thein have done good' work in stretcher - bearing and in hospital work. It has been a personal question with them; and perhaps it is not our place to criticize. The war was started by one of the arch fiends of the world who determinea that he would not only rule the world -but that he would end Christianity in every country for all time. Had Hitler, for instance, conquered Britain and had come over to Canada, just in what condition would we be today. Our :men would have been slaves; our women and girls would have been dragged down to the lowest depths; our freedom would have been confiscated; all pleasure would have been at an end and God's word would have been gathered into piles and burned until there was not a leaf left. Christianity here and in every other country would have been at an end. Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, was slain in order that His word might be spread abroad throughout the world, and it seemed necessary that in order that this state might be averted, our young men must need go out to kill and be killed. The pity of it all is that there seems to be so few who have learned the lesson which we were intended to learn from the awful chaos and. trials through which we have passed. It has been remarked many times that it was easier to win the war than it is going to be to win and keep the peace. We may rest assured that it was God alone who brought us through the struggle and we must come back to Him, Why do we delay? "Thou shalt not commit adultery." A. recent newspaper article stated that the number of divorces during this year in Canada had greatly in- creased. We know that the only ground for divorce in our Dominion is adultery. How tragic are many of the circumstances in connection with these eases! Men who have fought faithfully for King and country are ariPAV 47 65 arise in any family Banks are continually making small loans to meet tries emergencies which can upset the best -planned budgets. Three out of every fivebankloans are for less than $500. Many of these are used to take care of such expenses as doctor or hospital bills, temporary embarrassment at tax -time, a sudden journey, the winter's coal bill. Again, educational needs of the family often are financed by small bank loans. These small loans enable individuals to consolidate debts, and to pay back from income. Small loans furnish just one more example of the service available to you at your bank. This Advertisement is .Sponsored by your .

Nesbitt, who recently returned from overseas after five years' ser- vice forces. During with the Canadiane the evening, Sgt. Nesbitt was pre- sented with a gold signet ring and an address. The presentation was made by Sam Scott, and the address was read by Francis Coleman.. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Lunch was served. Sgt. Nesbitt enlisted in March 1940, and went overseas in June of the same year. He saw active service in Sicily, Italy, and Northwestern Europe, re- turning to Canada in October of this year. 5 :k PAY IMPRESSIVE TRIBUTE GODERICH — Impressive tribute was paid to those who laid down their lives in two Great World Wars at a Remembrance Day service held under the auspices of the Canadian Legion in North Street United Church, Sun- day morning. The 100 veterans of two wars occupied the centre pews while seats were reserved for the members of the Town Council, the I.O.D.E., the Girl Guides -and the Boy Scouts. Rev. R. H. Turnbull, minister of the church, conducted the service. coming back to broken homes, to wives who have not been faithful. In many instances they married with little knowledge of one another. It cannot by any means be said that the fault is all on the side of the wives. In many instances they have done their duty here very faithfully. They have kept the home together and have cared for the children, look- ing forward to the time when the husband and father would return. But the home -coming; has been heart- breaking. The husband has met some- one overseas who has taken the place of his wife in his heart and he has not been able to stand up against temptation. Such tragedy! How will it ever be cleared up? "Thou shalt not steal." Our papers to -day are filled with reports of bandits who are "holding up banks, places of business and in- dividuals. Where is it all going to end? There is one thing certain; the law will in all probability catch up with them but this is true that if they do not get their judgment here they will in the world to come. There is no one who can steal from us the assurance that we can become a co-worker with our Saviour if we mill "only believe" and accept the gift which He so freely offers us. Does it ever occur to us that if we are not telling others of the love of Jesus we are stealing from them what is their due? If we ,have ac- cepted Christ let us try to bring some one with us and if we have not ac- cepted Him let us do it at once. (To be continued) —"PEG" 0 IN HOSPITAL AFTER EIRE EGMONDVILLE-W. J.
