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, * * We noticed flocks of starlings back of the office last week.

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 • tali , la � Maitia rh m 1111®11lm 111;1l111111s~111111URals■1A of+r 1 ser 1 .7 uyers or ow, e5)AF o f N[6 TSE U''ED, E1,pF«,l}`'� ° Cr'P pyo AT V IttailTEICO Phone m 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," SUPERTEST• CAPTURE LEAGUE LAURELS Take Two Straig''ht From 'Prods' To Obtain Arena Cup.

Thursday's game was anybody's game till four minutes from the 'end of regulation time when two" quick goals by Bain andMitchellset- tial the issue.

H.

Over -anxious- ness caused the Prods' downfall. S. Mitheell had barely got back on the ice when he and Williamson got tangled up in a corner and both, got a rest, Somers tripped H.

For the Supertest, H: Mitchell and Bain looked best along with Zulauf, The Oilers missed Thompson and El- liott, lliott, who were playing in Seaforth.
