Is there a division in the protest-
, .ant churches of to -day?
Surely not,
Can it be possible that the Christ
'Who died on Calvary gave His life
for us in vain. He died that a gospel
mf love night be taught. Instead of
?that being the case Christian people
if such we like to .call ourselves, are
'+quarrelling. Even those of the same
'•church, of the same denomination,
'cannot • at times, meet without a dis-
turbance of some kind. Quite, often
we hear leaders of the church say, "I
do wish the annual meeting was ov-
er. There is always trouble of some
kind." Without a doubt the members
•of the United Church, the Anglican
the Baptist and countless other
"isms" are completely undermining
?the work of the Lord because they
will not unite in His cause.
An invalid was accustomed to set
at a window on Sunday. As was quite
In
.order she would say "Here come
the Presbyterians, now the Angli-
cans are,going home. These are the
Baptists" such a division of God's
people!
We all go to church or at least we
should to worship Christ. Our Sav-
lour.organized one gospel and taught.
the:truth of love. What tight has man
to make any division in it?
Al young girl went to see an older
rieird and intimated that she was
Very much perplexed as to what she
should do. She had come from a
, small country church where the do-
ingsl were regulated by men and wo-
tnen who had beentaught to respect
-the ;House of God, and where no ques-
tionable amusements were carried on
in connection with it. A. few nights
before she had attend a prayer meet-
ing in a city church. At.the close she
was invited with some other class
members to the home of one of the
Sunday School teachers (She had
contemplated joining this class).
When she got there she learned that
the meeting was for the purpose of
-arranging for progressive card par-
ties, There was another young lady
there who did not know how to play
cards but upon the request of the tea-
•cher she expressed the desire to
'learn. When the first girl said sae
did not know how to play and did
not, wish to learn she was spoken ,to
in quite an unchristian manner. What
will' that teacher do when she faces
•Gori at the judgment with !the re-
;aponsibility of that class?
Does God want people who have
riot given themselves Wholly to Hint
to attempt to teach His Word??
A minister of the old school (shall
We call it) was. talking to a friend
about 'church affairs. He intimated
• that things were not he sante as they
.used to be and then he went on to
explain that the minister .had really
little to do with the management of
the ehtirch. He just had one vote and
"very often it was a case of side in
with the people or' else move on.
The officers of the church were
appointed by the memberswhose
nani.es we1'e on the chili:W.rdll. They
could suggest any person they wish-
ed te see filling an office.
There are three questions 'about
this matter whieh should be ansWer-
ed before an election of officers takse
pls'ee:.
"PEG"
Ain I a child of God and have I
prayed to Him for guidance before
1 I Suggested a 'name for Bider, Man-
ager, Steward or whatever office is
to ;be filled or have I just taken
some one elses word that the one no-
minated - was a worthy ,person to
carry on the Lords+'Work.
Do I merely thinkthat the man or
woman is "a •-hale fellow, well met"
and I like him or her, regardless of
the serious thought as to whether
that person is a servant of God or
not. Perhaps we think we will offend
that one if we do not nominate him
or vote for him. We must decide
whether we will offend him or God.
Should we be the person nominat-
ed have we realized that we must ac-
count to God for our actions. It. Is
no play thing to be so selected. There
is a great responsibility about it a
duty which should in no wise be un-
dertaken without a great deal of
prayer.
To the amazement of 'some one
who knew him well a man was one
time noticed serving eomntunion In
the House of God. Later, in conversa-
tion with this elders wife, the re-
mark was passed that was an
Elder "Yes," the ,wife replied "they
wanted him to be one so he decided
he would," It may be that some of
the voters in the church wanted him
so to act, but did God.
•
The ministry and eldership. in.
church, as well ''as any other office
should be held by men and women
who have consecrated their lives ,o
God's service and who will allow
nothing to come between thein and
their Master, those who will not de-
finitely against questionable pleasures
creeping into the church or being the
means of raising money for God's
work.
We may say if our Young People
and our Sunday School teachers and
scholars -want to have amusements
which are not in accord with God's
word in their own homes we cannot
stop then. No, that may be true, but
do we ever stop to think that Christ
would not hold out His hand to ac-
cept money got in that way to carry
on His work.
All the branches of the Christian
church to -day are in a sad and ser-
ious condition. A young child hap-
pened to be playing with some child-
ren. One of them was the child of a
hotel keeper. One day - white playing
in this child's home the Superintend-
ent of the Sunday came in for some-
thing and while there took a drink
of intoxicating liquor. A few Sun-
day's after was temperance Sunday
and this same Superintendent warned
the school against drinking. Speaking
of it afterwards this child young as
she was said "I nearly got up and
said "You drink yourself," Why have
we people of that character holding
office in God's House.
We are hiding behind the excuse
that young people of to -day and old-
er ones too do not want the religion
of, our fathers and mothers, but it is
on that standard we will be judged.
These statistics have been given
on good authoritiy 65 protectants out
of every 100 in one of our large cities
live and die and; never see the inside
of a church. We wonder if the true
preaching of the word of God would
not bring them in.
A minister calling on some of his
parisliieners stopped at a new bun-
galow. His knock was responded to
by .a little girl ofsix or seven. She
closed the door and came back in .a
few minutes with the message "No
roligion to -day" mother says "Thank"
yeti" gust as site would decline an
order of the grocer or butcher or
would have in the time before ration-
ing.
In our churches: have we the kind
of religion which Christ wants us to
spread abroad for -Him?. What we
need is 'inion ameng our churches,
not quarrelsonie .congregation such
as'we have had but a fellowship form -
ded by the love of God.
Blest be the tie that binds,
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
' Is like to that. above.
We truly need a -wave of spirit
ual'power. Each one of us can be a
missio;neiry for Christ. 'We cannot
do things which are displeasing to God
one time and the next minute talk
to some one about the loge of God.,
If we are not true Christians,. people
do•not'want us talking to them about
Ohrist. A Sunday School teacher was
recently heard taking. God's name in
vain in a most terrible manner. Would
those who heard him care to listen to
him teach God's word the next Sund-
ay? God knows all these things and
how' it must grieve Him.
When next we have the opportun-
ity of voting for God's representatives
in the church we attend let us make
it a matter of public and private pray-
er that only those will be elected
who will study His word and serve
Him according to. it. Should we be
among those nominated,. unless we
intend to follow Christ closely, let
us at once withdraw our name. If
God intends us to be there He will
lead us in the right way.

Remarks the Ottawa Citizen: "An-
thony Eden will come to Ottawa after
Washington. The Minister of Agricul-
ture, M'r. Gardiner, could perhaps get
together with Mr. Eden on the possib-
ility of making Canada into a Garden
of Eden after the war," With Jimmy
Gardiner as head gardener of course!
THE MIXING: HOWL
By ANNE ALLAN
Hy,dro Home Economist
NEW FROCKS FROM OLD
Hello :Homemakers! As inspiration
and guidance to new ways of collier-
ring the Wartime )?rices and Trade
Board have now installed the well-
known Mgrs. Kate Aitken as National
Supervisor of •Conservation for the
Consumer Branch. The war on waste
and needless spending will have a new
meaning to homemakers.
At a recent display of new frocks
from old ones, we gleaned many prac-
tieal ideas. Instead of stuffing that
old evening dress or flannel dressing
gown into the rag bag it may made
intersomething useful for yourself or
a growing child.
To help, yourself— and the war of--''
fort—you, too, may consider remak-
i ing by one of the following meth-
ods:
1.—Kiddies' mitte from a pair of
dad's toe -holey socks.
2.—Mary's felt hat from mother's
by trimming it down and twisting it
iaround.
- 3. Warn, durable overall and jac-
ket from a discarded bathrobe.
4.—Consider cutting upthe worn-
at -the -sleeve sweater and inserting
the short sleeves and back, into a
dress that may have faded in the
back.
Er. When your trim shirtinaker
dress has been stained' or frayed at
the aimholes,'make a smart jumper
out of it. A. blouse may be fashioned
from .a man's shirt, ripped apart and
remade to eliminate the frayed collar,,
ete. -
6. We saw a very glamorous long-
sleeved blouse which had been cut out
of a striped evening dress. With of
without stripes, you canjust imagine
the "swishness" or crispness of •those
materi.als which have not had hard
usage
7. If a•dress is too long or the col-
las- is out of fashion, shorten the dress
make corded bows a new belt and a
hat band; take the collar off entirely
and face it or bind it.
S. A black or dark colored dress
may be livened up by panelling the
front with a piece of flowered • ma-
terial.
.9. If you have an old ensemble "suit
still wearable, the material should be
washed or dry cleaned. Re -make as
a two piece suit to go marketi-gin,
10. An old skirt, plain or gored,
can be cut excellently into a small
boy's shirt, shorts may be cut from
the worn -at -the -elbows jacket.
(Mrs, Aitken is .planning to open
"Re -make Centres" in many places.
Anne Allan will be pleased to ad-
vise you of the centre nearest to you,)
TAKE A TIP:
Bare or Your bewmg maenlne
1. If the sewing machine gets dir-
ty or sticky as a result of using poor
oil, or from long idleness. oil thor-
oughly with kerosene (coal oil) at all
points indicated, Then run machine
for a short time, .wipe dry and oil
:carefully with sewing machine oil.
2. Turn the "disc wheel so that the
needle is down before you begin to
ail; put only 2 drops iri at g tune,
8. When winding the bobbin,loo-
sen the disc wheel by turning it coun-
ter clockwise.
4. Although your maehino is
threaded, do riot attempt to :sew
until you have revolved the disc wheel'
around so that the needle goes `down
'and comes beck up and you; can poll
the end of the thread to bring up the
bobbin thread toe.
5. Never operate the machine when
it is threaded without having some
scrap of material under the presser
foot.
6. Prevent the breakage of pre-
cious needles by moving the dise
wheel so that the needle is at its
highestoint
p whenever yen stop the
machine.

Three Fire Calls
Early Saturday afternoon the fire-
men were called out for a grass fire
in the west end, and a few hours later
a blaze in a garage at the rear of the
Brophey store on West street demand-
ed their attention. To confirm the
firefighters' tradition that calls come
in series of three, the third call with-
in thirty hours 'came on Sunday af-
ternoon, when an old car at Bradley's
on Hamilton street was found to be on
fire. The brigade responded promptly
to all three calls and total damage
was small. A. group of boys will be
up in Juvenile Court oss the charge

THE COST OF WINNING THE WAR is
something we can neither escape nor
avoid. Victory has to be paid for ... let us face
the price squarely. Canada MUST have Five
Billion, Five Hundred Million Dollars for this
fourth year of war. Where is this huge : sum
to come from?
Taxes will yield part of it, but when all
taxes are paid we shall still need Two Billion,
Seven Hundred and Forty -Eight Millions. And,
as a first step towards . meeting that need, the
minimum cash objective of the Fourth Victory
Loan will be Otie Billion, One Hundred
Million Dollars.
True, leading financial and industrial con-
cerns will take up a large portion of this sum.
But the amount left to be met by individual
purchasers will - be very greatly increased.
Two things will be necessary:
' (1) The amount purchased by each individual
will need to be much greater than' in
the last Victory Loan, and . .
(2) There must be participation by many more
Canadians in every walk of life. In order
to reach even our minimum objective,
MORE people must buy, MORE bonds.
I realize that it will call for a supreme effort
on the part of every Canadian to meet this
demand, that the Fourth Victory Loan will be
the greatest financial challenge we have ever
faced. Yet we dare not falter now. Unswerv-
ingly and relentlessly, we must work and save
together. For the results of this Fourth Victory
Loan will be the inescapable measure of' our
determination, our unity of purpose, to achieve
complete and overwhelming victory.
I know the strength, the discipline, and
the united purpose of my fellow -Canadians. I
am confident that we can, and will, meet this
challenge.
