Hepburn started a two -weeks' holiday with prospect he would take over the prem- iership of Ontario from George S. Henry July 16, exactly 11 years after the Conservative government went in- • to office. The premier -elect paid a brief visit last week to Mr. Henry and subse- quently held a three-hour conference with his chief lieutenants, those whom it is generally supposed will be mem- bers of his cabinet. No announcement was forthcoming after the meeting which was not attended by W. E. N. Sinclair or Dr. George McQuibban, former Liberal floor leaders in the legislature who bolted their way on •its beer and wine policy. • To Oppose Dismissal Of Gaby Ottawa, — Strong objection to the proposal of the incoming Ontario Government to dismiss F. A. Gaby, chief engineer o fthe Ontario Hydro Electric Commission, and to establish a one man commission will be expres- sed in a resolution to be presented to -the Ontario Municipal Electrical As- sociation mid -summer convention. • After a heated discussion of the res- olution by the provincial executive, it was decided to have the resolution come as a recommendation of the Toronto executive committee rather than from Provincial executive. Rotten If True London, — London read with alarm sensational disclosures of alleged German experimeats at poisoning the vast underground systems of London and Paris with bacilli and gas. The magazine "Nineteenth Century Review" printed alleged secret doc- uments describing the spreading of harmless bacteria through under- ground ventilating systems by secret agents to determine the percentage of germs which could be introduced amoung the thousands of underground -travellers.

Japanese attacked British police of Britain, And France Sign New Pack London — A nine -months trade a- greement .between Britain and France with provision for automatic exten- sion, closed the long drawn-out trade battle between the two nations. The dispute runs back to the dra- matic days of more than two years ago when Britain dropped of the gold standard. It ends in a most favored - nation agreement to embodying con- cessions on both sides, but chiefly noteworthy in its provisions for a tariff peace. Baldwin Heads Government London—Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald said farewell to. King George and started on a health -seek- ing holiday, the result of which may determine the future course of the British Government. If Mr. MacDonald is unable to re- sume leadership of the National Gov- ernment after his three months' rest, a general election is regarded as like- ly by informed observers. The Prime Minister turned over to Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin, former Conservative Prime Minister, and now Lord President of •the •Council, the duties of his office. Doctor Barred by College Toronto—Dr. Gordon Webb of To- ronto, stands disbarred from the rolls of the medical profession in Ontario after the Ontario College of Physic- ians took action regarding his alleg- ed unethical conduct in advertising a "money back" guarantee if he failed to cure goitre, adenoid and tonsil ail- ments without operation. Appearing before the Council Dr. Webb said many unnecessary opera- tions were being performed by un- skilled surgeons, and the medical pro- fession was "riddled with rackets." Dr. Webb practiced for a short time in Wingham. All Not Gold That Glitters Montreal—Even a thief will fall for the gold -brick deception. Dazzled by by 'display of wealth in the window of Shnon's store, where old gold is bought, a thief broke it with a stone and made off with what appeared to be a nugget of substantial size. The proprietor was angry about the brok- en window, but comparatively genial about the nugget. He explained it was a lump of coal painted with en- amel. ` HYDRO LAMPS "The Lona Life Limpet* • Wingham Utilities Commission Crawford Block; Look Phone 156.

It does not mean because the Lord had given him rest," "And they entered into a covenant to "gambling" on God, or "betting your Yet Asa did not sit still with folded seek the Lord God of their fathers life on God," as some would tell ushands.

For 'Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God." The people were always prone to worship false gods, and the young King Asa "took away the altars of the strange gods and the high places, and broke down the images," and then "commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the Asa responded in the right spirit, led a fresh campaign against "the abominable idols" that were still I found in the land, and exalted and magnified God before his people, so that there was a great religious rally at Jerusalem in the fifteenth year of his reign. Nothing succeeds like success, and people from several of the northern tribes turned south to Asa and join- ed themselves to his kingdom, whom I have believed, and am per- suaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him," (II, Tim. 1:12.) Two kings in this lesson relied on God, and with remarkable results, Abijah, king of Judah, had an army of 400,000 men. Jeroboam, king of Israel, came against him with an ar- my of 800,000 men. The odds seemed uneven, didn't they? But Jeroboam could not rely on God, for he had made his people worship golden calv- es, and he had scouted God's laws. Abijah humbly trusted God and had been obeying God's laws, So he could say, to Jeroboam and to his own peo- ple, "Behold, God Himself Ls with us for our captain." It was no empty boast. God honored Abijah's trust, smote Jeroboam and his army, led Ab- ijalt and his arrey triurriphantly against them until "there fell down slain of Israel 500,000 chosen men," "And the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers," Relying or God wotild be a good practice for nations and individuals in these troubled times today,, Abijah died, and his seri Asa ette- ceeded him on the throe, It is a great thing to have a godly fether—if one follows in the footsteps of such a fa - half a million men. And about that time "there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand" —an army of 1,000,000. A million against half a million— again the odds seemed very uneven. But Asa, like his father, Abijah, turned humbly and trustfully to God. "Lord," he prayed, "it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many, or .you. And where there's two seeking with them that have no power: help us, 0 Lord our God; for we rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go against this multitude. 0 Lord, Thou art our God; let not man prevail against God and their fellowship with Him.
