DIVISION
By "PEG"

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
'of love might be taught, Instead of
:that being the ease Christian people
if such we like to .call ourselves, are
' equarreliing. 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
'IBMs" 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
an order she would say "Here come
the Presbyterians, now . the Angli-
mans are going home. These are the
Baptists" such a division ofGod's
people:
We all,go to church or at least we
should to worship Christ. Our Sav-
iour organized one gospel and taught
the.truth of love. What right has man
to snake any division in it?
Al young girl went to see an older
'friend and intimated that site was
Vert much perplexed as to what she
should do. She had come from a
smell country church where the do-
ingsl were regulated by men and wo-
men who had been taught 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 Scheel teachers (She had
contemplated joining this,class).
'When she got there she leared that
the meeting wee for the purpose or
'arranging for progressive card pare
ties. There was another s*oung 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 see
did not know how to play and did
not wish to learn she was spoken •to
in quite an unchristian m'arinar. What
'will' that teacher do When she faces
• God at the judgment with Ithe re-
' epo ssibility of that class ?
Does God want people who Have
pot given themselves wholly to Him
' to attempt • to teach His Word'?A minister of the old school (shall
'we call it) was talking to a friend
abo{tt church affairs. He intimated
• that things were not he same 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 !church. He just- had one vote and
''Very often it was a case of side in

Tee officers of the church were
appointed by the members whose
navies were on the chureh:'roll, They

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 communion 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 hint 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.

church, as well `as any other office
should be held by men and women
who have consecrated their lives- to I
Cod's service and who will allow
nothing to conte between them 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 them. 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 thent was the child of a
hotel keeper. One day while 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

A minister calling on Sonic of his
parishioners stopped at a new -'bum-

by a little girl of six or seven. She
closed the door and came back in a

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 atthe rear of the
Brophey store on West street demand-
ed 'then attention. Te 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 on the charge
of starting the blaze in the old
Goderich Signal Star.
The fate of the Jap expedition in
the Bismark Sea is the nearest thing
yet to Comedian Willie Howard's tale
of the encounter with the lion—the
one ending. "What d'yuh think? .Hb
ateame."
?HE 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 One 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 itwillcall 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. .
