REDUCTION OF 24 SEATS IN LEGGSLATURE PREDICTED Part VII, We ni'ust take one paragraph for the geographical setting of this pant of the story Of !Paul, When he finish- ed his 'work 'at Corinth, he -went to'Je- rusalem to the !Feast, :then up to An- tioch, the "home -church." Leaving on his third missionary 'journey he 'visit- ed Tarsus and the c'hu'rches of'IG'aia- tia, 'then went straight to Ephesus. But many tlhin!gs were happening IThe early Church was meeting all kinds of perils—and Paul was shaving his Share. Be tells us in. 2 Corinkthian's XI. about snkne of his experiences, and (they are thrilling enough. Here are just a !few of 'those .he mentions --- in jail often, hungry and cold, 'three shipwrecks, five times at the whipping post for bh:inty-nine lashes each 'time, three times beaten with, rods. tOn'ce, he was stoned. All the time he was carrying on his work as' missionary to the 'Gentiles. !Just ib'efon•e the left Corinth the syn- agogue R'abb'i 'became' jealous. The .o'ld 'Rabbi 'head become ,a. 'Christian and had joined up with !Paul, so the new Rabbi stirred up the trouble. His whole co'ngrega'tion' ;was enthusiastic. ,(you see, he was a new rabbi)—they swept down on !Paul in a naob, seized him and took him to the .court fior trial, They laid a charge (something about wor'shi'p)—but'Gallio refused to try the case. And twha't 'happened?, Why, Paul's congregation had .come to see whether 'Paul had a fair trial, and, ;when IGaI'lio dismissed the case, they rushed- across' the court an'd gave, the Rabbi a good drubbing! It was not exactly 'the Christian thing to do but some so-called Ohriseians of a very modern day 'Mee sought satis faction in a very similar spirit!—Per haps it was predestined, for 'the Rab- bi'profited by it—he became. a Chris- tian and a friend 'af IPanl. :Bert Gablio paid no .attention to what was done; pretended he never 'saw its That opened the way 'to a new peril tar 'the ;Church. Had he allowed Paul to speak, and then declared thatithere was no .case for the Roman courts, he would have set a precedent ,for the protection of the Christians, • 'whi!ch would have put the Christian religion in bhe same protected ,posiltio•n as the Jewish religion, and the Christians waled 'have.escaped the persecutions of later years. As it was, he showed indifference—Gellio was the greatest Roman yet met by the Apostles, and his indifference was a great disap- ,pointment to Paul. The Church would have to meet bhe perils of the indif- ference of the authorities. The work at Corinth had been a great success. It was very early a mass movement into 'the church—a mass movement of enthusia's'tic people. 'They agreed to everything Paul 'taught them, 'whether they understood or not. They were willing to ans'wer "yes" to any question he might askd He received them into membership, was proud to receive them from the slums of Corinth, from immoral houses, from the dregs oe society high and low, riot and 'poor, IW'hen .he began to teach them he found that they were very slaw to un- derstand the law of love—very slow! 'It might have been easier to teach them bhe negative law of Moses, and receive them into the Jewish faith 'first, but he was there to preach the positive law of 'love in Christ . , When Paul got away from 'Corinth the Lave feast of the Lord's Supper was degraded into a drunken brawl. They had not understood!' . . . The morals of the Church members were in some cases even worse than those out side the .Church. They 'had mis- understood some word of Paul's about "all things being lawfuld" Things were ,pretty bad in Corinth by the time Paul got back to Ephesus— so he wrote the letters which we cal' I. and 1)I. 'Corinthians. The perils of compromise were ev- en more disastrous. The 'Council of Jerusalem had approved of Paul's work among the 'Gentiles, and Paul, on his pant, was to remember the poor of Jerusalem. 'Paul had 'brought one gift of money from the Gentile churches to the Jews, but when he went into Pagan territory to ,preach "Christ and him !Crucified," he did not pass the plate. He was no beggar of charity. He even refused to let the new 'Christians support ,him, he work- ed day and night at his trade to pay the expenses of his mission. When Paul visited Jerusalem at'thi;. time, the ,c•hurch leaders .were expect- ing more money, but there was none! They were sore! Instead of bringing money he "Shad a hair cut"—that meant he was hurrying to Jerusalem to fulfil a' vow! To the shallow minded it seemed strange to see the mission- ary bo the •Gentiles so anxious to keep a Jewish vow. 'T'hey began eo wonder it Paul were sinterel Sow iconic!, 'he preach thalt •the Law is not necessary, and 'be so very anxious to keep it him- self? By the time Paul reached Ephe- Three Constituencies Reported Plan- ned for Two Hurons and Two Bruces Toronto.—The reported aim of the ,Ontario !Government in its redistribu- tion bill, which will be forecast in the spee'c'h from the throne on Wed- eesd'ay at the Legislature's opening, is a reduction of 24 seats in 'the pres- ent House membership of '1112, The Mail and Empire says this week. Three Toronto seats, one Hamilton, one Ottawa and one Windsor—all Conservative ridings—are due to be dropped, the newspaper says. Im- pending mergers of the Algoma and Manitoulin ridings; 'Sturgeon Falls and Nipissing; and Kenora and !Rainy River, ,reduces northern membership by three and will provide stiffer ;fight- ing ground in future provincial elec.- There lec-There are several three and four - riding shuffles, it continues, ;for pur- poses in each case of a single seat reduction.

At Corinth he met ;Alqui'la, and his wife !Priscilla, two wandering Jews who had lived in !Rome for a while, but had' been de- ported by order of the Emperor. They had, become and were members of the chmrch in Rome. Paul was glad to be so closely in touch with 'Ronue.How he wanted ;eo get to the Capital City!! But Corinth was as near as Paul .was ever able to :get until he went to Rome in chains, Another "friendship was that of the Pihidippian 1Church. 'The ,minister there was Luke. When they knew that Paul's companions h'ad come back .to Macedonia to inquire for them, they gathered up enough money to allow Paul to quit making tents for a while and give his whale time to missionary work. They sent it as a token of friendship and it gave'Paul much en- couragement to .meet the perils o -f his task. !However, !friendships were not en- ough to combat all the .perils. That required a tremendous faith in Jesus —a faith which needed the aid of a vision 'se'veral tinre'9 . . • • —a, faith that JTestis was alive, and was with Paul in all his perils.

Margaret .Rhynas, of Burling- ton, President of the 'Women's ;Itos- pital Aids 'Association of Ontario, who addressed an open meeting in Sea - forth for the pu'npose of organizing a Women's Hospital Aid Society, said in part: May II say at the outset that the CREED of the IWlamen's Hospital Aid's Association is as :follows:—We do not want to run Hospitals—we want to make it less difficult for Sup- erintendent and Board to do 'so. Will, you please absorb this creed. It is entirety contrary to the ethics of this Association to foster anything but harmony ;and .good will 'and to ,co- operate with the •Superintendent and the Board at all times. Moreover it is bhe business of this Association to strengthen tthe status of the Hospital in the community.. II1 :at any time reasons develop to doubt any action or .matter relating to 'the Hospital -'as it may 'concern the !Aid—we advise going in a spirit of good -will to the fountain head and Leann the correct facts and talk the entire matter over ,amicably. When this is done we do not find trouble arises or discords ensue. We ask be- times just w'ha't security would you ,feel in your community if you were without the Hospital and all it has to give you and your loved ones—when you are sick anis require hospital rare. Then if your IIospit-al is needed to senve the community and surrounding d'isltrict—loyalty to it is the best means of .advancing the cause. In the immediatepast few yews. we, 'ham afraid, have nut been .realizing ,blast lean times would fall upon us. We sailed at top speed ---net !figuring on breakers ahead. Hos'oilbals .are feeling the s:ltuation like all other institutions —industrial and humanitarian. We. no doubt twill; thnough this clisstise- meat, come out with a truer value of alb 'things.

They ware for our sick and suff- ering and need our support and loyal •ty.
