"PEG" These few thoughts are a coitinu- -anon on our subject of "Conscience". The first Instance we have in the Bible of conscience is where Adam and Eve were condemned for eating the forbidden fruit. The serpent tempted Eve and she argued with it stating that "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall: ye touch it, Iest ye die." Then the, serpent. followed up with, "Ye shall not sure- ly die. For God cloth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil." Then came the fall of Adam and Eve. Conscience, as directed by God, had been overcome and the devil had been victorious. Then Eve went to Adam and her tempting was the means of his fall. Had Eve only obeyed her conscien- ce and had frustrated the wiles of the devil, as. represented by the serpent .there would have been no separation between God and man, whom He had Made in His own image. Then there followed one of the thief characteristics of disobeying conscience. As Adam and Eve wan- ted to hide from God, so when we try + to put conscience to one side and sin, we endeavour to hide so we will ;not have to bear the consequences of .our wrong doing. Take for instance a group of boys. 'They are walking along the road and 'passed an orchard. One says, "Come on fellows lets jump the fence and get. 'some apples" Another replied. "They :•are not ours and we have no right 'to touch them" and he stood on the 'road, . As the others ran one called back, "Come on, sissy, you will be rready to share them when we come back." Although flushed by the taunt •the boy stoodfirm, time others filled their pockets and rejoined their com- rade on the road. They were not far -from the farm gate and when they :got nearly up to it they saw the far- mer standing by the post. Fear of the "result of what they had done made 'them run. The farmer whoknew two sor three of them called kindly to then and they cane back. He was a Christ- ian man and told them that their stealing came from not obeying their conscience. He explained to them that there was no need for them to have gone into his orchard and to have taken what did not belong to them. If they had come and asked for the fruit they would gladly have been given all they wanted. Then he asked .them how many of them had - done that same thing before. All but one who had remained on the road- way confessed to have stolen before and each one acknowlddged that the first time they did it something wined to tell them not to do it, but now it just seemed like second nature to them. None of them had gone far- ther than petty thieving. In later years in telling about it one of them said. "It was a lesson to us whieh we never forgot "Not one of those boys' turned out to be a thief. TJncler different circumstances they might have done so, had not the farmer talked to then the way he did and the story told in later years might have had an altogether dif= ferent ending. Those boys knew they had done wrong and Were afraid of the man who had it in his power to have them punished, We clo many things which conscien- ce forbids us to, do and how anxious we are to conceal our sin and disgracer froth others! Ave we able to do it? ;Maybe so, but we cannot hide it from [God. We try to find on excuse for our wrong doing but there is never 'an excuse for sin—there is forgive- ness but no excuse. So often we could help sorra one [who refuses to obey conscience,. but ,we will not do it se, Have we seen [children doing things which their parents do not know they are up to? Is it always necessary to be a tale bearer? Unless things are serious and should be reported*a friend of children can often deal with these matters themselves. We tan look back over our lives and recall very pleasant instances in which we have had the opportunity of dealing with children and in pointing out to then the danger of following the course which they are pursuing, How lov- ely it is to behold their bright happy faces as they see the way out of their difficulties! Onr Heavenly Father, who !wows all future has given us a conscience which will tell us right from wrong, but we, many tines, will not listen to. this still small voice from God, We think we know better ourselves and on we go to our downfall. Do we realize that when our con- science has been bestowed on us by God it knows no other way but to lead us in the straight and naluow way 7 Still we refuse to heed its call to what is right and as time goes on a cloud gathers between it and us that we do not get the real meaning of what it wantsus to clo, in fact we might as well be without one at all. We realize that this is a deplor- able condition but we have gone so far astray front its leading that we feel that it will never cone bath to us. Can it? Yes certainly it can. All we need to do is to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour, be- lieve that He died for us on the Gross, and rose again that we might have Eternal life, and as one would rub out a- quotation on a blackboard with a brush, so God will wipe away all the dirt and accumulation of years and we will be left with a clean pas-. sage between God, our conscience and ourselves. What a joyful day that will be for us! No other day in our lives is comparable to it. Will we not just grasp that great opportunity to -day? "If I have wounded any soul- to -da' If I have caused one foot to go astray If I have walked in my own wilful way Dear Lord forgive. If I have uttered idle words or vain If I have turned aside from want or pain Lest I myself should suffer through the strain Dear Lord forgive. If I have been perverse or hard or cold If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold When Thou hast given mesometort to bold Dear Lord forgive. Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee Forgive the secret sin I do not see Oh guide nee, love me, and my keeper be Armen.

Hundreds of motorists, in every province of Canada were asked this question: "If you had a fire permit, what tire would you buytoday?" Eye: huge majority Goodyear was again elected Canada's first choice tire! This simply proves that motorists, forced to keep their old tires running, have iearned that Goodyear's "extra mileage" is not merely a claim or a catch -phrase, but a definite reality. Never before, since motoring began, have tires come through such a testing -time as during the past eighteen months. Never before have motorists been compelled to extract the very last mile from tires. Therefore when Canada's first choice tire, Goodyear, comes through that period and remains, by all odds, the first choice tire, there is abundant proof that motorists have found, by practical experience, that Goodyears do give a "bonus in miles and service". When peace time comes—"Go Goodyear"— and get EXTRA MILES.
