TETE. RELIEF !PROBLEM
At a rn tains, last weekof the
Mayors of Ontario cities and towns
one of the principal subjected
discussed was the reliefp roblem, ftc-
lief is one of tlic most important items
to face all governmentstoday wheth-
er it be Dominion, Provincial or mun-
icipal. The tremendous stun of money
}
necessary for this item during the last
few€� ears has grown instead of be-
y
coning less and. especially in the cit-
ies is a tremendous burden.
At this rneeting of Mayors in Lon-
don they passed a resolution in regard
d,
to relief with which we do not . agree,
"That the Federal Government as-
sume 100 per cent. of the cost of're-
lief.,,
Our reason for being' opposed to
such. a motion is that, if the munici-
palities did not pay a share of the
cost of relief by means of their own
taxation there would be a tendency
on the part of civic relief committees
to became careless i.ii its administra-
tion of the funds, as itwould not
show up in municipal expenditure.
There was also a strong feeling at
this conference toward a 'policy of
cash relief. That we are morally
bound to help our less fortunate cit-
izens is just and right, but to dispense
cash to these people we feel is not
the proper' way to handle this prob-
lem. We believe that it is more ec-
onomical to issue vouchers for food,
as is now done here.
One does not wish to be pessemis-
tic but the relief problem will be with
us for some time and the most econ-
omical manner with which it can be
handled with decency, should be em-
ployed,

`i'HE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
THE TWELVE SENT FORTH.
Sunday, rebs 25—Matt: 9:35 to 11: 1,
Golden Text:
The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the laborersare fere ; pray ye- there -
fere the Lord, of the harvest, that He
will send' forth laborers into His har-
vest. (Matt, 9: 37, 38).
When we start praying God Some -
titles has tis answer our own prayers.
The Lord was "moved :with corn -
passion" as He sat' the helpless mut-
titudesa of people with no one to care
for them or tell them the only tray
of eternal life, and He said to His
discip.ies ,.The. harvest is plenteous,
but the laborers are few." Then He
told
Idzs disciples to pray about it,
"Pray y3 therefore the 1 ,n d of the
'harvest, that He will send forth lab-
- dress intcoliis harvest."
It' is reasonable to suppose that tlic
disciples obeyed their lord :and be-
gan. praying for this. Their prayer
was answered as He sent thein. For
;the next verse tells of ver Lord's call-
, ing to Hinz twelve .disciples, commis-
-shining and empowering; them to en-
ter upon a miracitl +t1 i ministry, and
[sending them forth.
I He told them ,to do exactly what
!He had been doing: to cast mit de:
!mons or unclean spirits; to "heal all
manner of sickness and all manner of
disease"; to "cleanse the lepers, raise
the dead," And, as we find elsewhere
in the Gospels and the Acts, the dis-
ciples worked all these miracles ill the
naive and by the power of Christ.
The names of the twelve are given
—Peter, Andrea•, James, John, and the
rest—and always, when this roll is
!called. of names that shine with light.
in the history of the early Church and
will se1ine for all eternity,, there is a
name, always coming last, hopeless
blackness. As we raed the list. through
ire crime to the words, "and Judas Ic
cariot, who also betrayed. Hint."
Did the Lord send the tweive apos-
tles at that time to visit all then with
H1s 1 1cssat e? No, he specifically for-
bade tlicir going either to the Gentiles
or to the Samaritans (half Jew, half
Gentile). "But do rather to the lost
sheep of the hoose of Ieraei," He said.
We 1nu•st never forget that Israel is
God's chosen peoplep, eferrcd of God
in FI'is arbitrary,' sovereign love and
wisdom, for tip dal and. mighty bless-
ing. As Paul eieciared that he vas
"trot ashamed of the Gospel of Christ,
he declared alit, tint "it istilc power
of God Unto salvation to cve1 v .•ane
that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek" or Gent!le., "Tc

the ,j•ew first" is God's trader. But the
Jew was to be, and is yet to be, the
channel. of God's blessing to the
whole world.
Men are 'always prone to take the
pleasant, gracious, loving words spo
ken by the LordJesus Christ, and to
forget :Or ignore .His y, orcds of rstern
and iinhteons lilstice. He made it
plain ,to these clisczjales; as We find it
ti roul;lt- all' the Scriptures, thait those
who received Gud's Traci )us' offer of
peace ,salvati:in and life should
deed have infinil(.blessiug; but that
those who wntiid not receive it would
have to take the c'ensequ:.ntc', "And
whosoever shall not Ireceive you nor
hear Your words, when ye depart out
of that house or city, shake off the.
dost of your feet. Verily I say unto
you: It . shall be more tolerable for -
the
land of S do and Gcnorrta
the day of judgment than for that
city."
The righteous justice of God, the
necessary terror of His inevtiable
judgment upon those ,ivho reject His
love, is a note' too often .pissing- in
etir ch1u•ches today.
The disciples were not proriiised an
,easy and delightful time in this world.
They were ,pronisecl just the opposite
-persecution, They were' fold to "be-
ware of Men," who 'would '.deliver
them up to the councils, ,scourge them
in the synagogues."And ye shall be
hated of all men for My name's sake"
said the .Lord.
• How could this be? "The disciple is
not above his piaster, nor the servant
above his Lord . . ,.If they have
called the moster .of the house Beel-
zebub, hose much more shall they rail
them of his . household?".
These words ought to. awaken us to
a rc•tliation of .their meaning, People
often say, in ignorance of the Gospel
and of the sinful nature of amen, that
if only all Christians were faithful to
their trust anti lived lives of the sante
perfect -love that Christ Himself had,
all Opposition: would cease and the
hearts' of all men would be won to
Christ. Why, then, did not this Ilan
pen when Christ Himself lived and
ministered to men? There is no such
teaching to be found in the Bible.
Love will not •win all Yuen, but only,
some.
And those who will not have the
love of God will have toeudnre the
righteous judgment of .God for titer
nity. As the Lord pi:edicted persecu-
tion for His faithfuldisciples, He add-:
ed this \rural: "And fear not them
which kill the body, but arc,not able
to kill the "soul: but rather fear Him
Which is able to destroy both soul and
body in hell," Bodily death` is as no
11101,, compared with spiritual death.
The. Gospel, • . true Christianity,
Christ Himself, are necessarily dovis-
ive... This is because of the awful hold
that "1n has upon men. "Think not
that I am come to said peace on
earth:•I came not to send peace, brit
a swc1 d. For I am Colne to set a man
at variance aginst his father, and the
daughter against• her •.pother, and the •
daughter-in-law against her mother-
in-law. And n man' foes shall be they`
of his own household,"
Then the Lord speaks the search-
ing• tetra that we must love Hitt 1liorc
than we love earthly father or 'moth-
er, son or daughter, if we need to.
choose between our earthly loved oil-
es and Himself. It is a decisive test
indeed, butemanyr have met it worth'
ily. They know the meaning of tihe
word. in the promise: "He that find-
eth his life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life Fe, r– My salve shall find -
it,"
