A GOOD IDEA
At the last meeting of the Town
Council Mayor Hanna• suggested that
a hill should be prepared on which
the children could enjoy sleigh riding
with safety. The use of motor cars
has made the streets mostunsafe for
playing and furthermore it is against
the law. However, it cannot be ex-
pected that Canadian boys and girls
will not slide on the hills when they
have no other place for this pleasure.
The idea of having the unemployed
make a. slide for the kiddies is such
a good one that we hope little time
will be lost in getting this slide .ready
for use,

IDEAS. . .
The value of original ideas is that
they set so many unoriginal people
at work trying to see whether the
ideas will work or not.
An idea is no good unless it is put
to work, no matter how original it
is. Clerk Maxwell, the English math-
ematician, originated the idea that all
matter, visible or invisible, moves in
rythmical waves. He set down the
idea_ in a mathematical formula.
Herz, the German physicist, took
Maxwell's formula and discovered the
idea was sound. There were waves
of space. He wrote down his proof
of that. Then Marconi set himself to
the task of putting those waves to
work for the transmission of signals,
and wireless telegraphy was the re-
• sult, with its offspring, radio broad-
• casting.
One idea of an obscure mathema-
tician has thus given work to millions
--cut down time and space, and gives
enjoyment and information to hund-
reds of millions. In its field it has
changed the customs and thoughts of
the world.
• Everything that we call progress
got its start in the mind of some
original thinker.

TOOLS . .
Brains and their product, ideas, are
tools. The highly -skilled highly -paid
workers of the world earn big pay
because they add those tools to the
mechanical devices with which the
ordinary worker has to do his daily
job.

.THE DIONNE QUINTUPLETS CELEBRATE THEIR FIRST CHRISTMAS
What a happy time in the Dionne
home when over the week -end. was
celebrated the first Christmas party
of the five Dionne babies, seven
months old; 'each and every one of
them old enough to thrill at the light-
ed candles, the bright -colored dolls,
the sparkle of the tinsel on the Christ-
mas tree! Guess who is Santa Claus,
in the centre of the picture, holding
Marie, smallest of the babies? None
other than the quintuplets' best friend
Industrial progress began when men
began building brains into the tools
of production, making machines that
could be operated without the use of
those brains. That made it possible
to set men of little brain -power at
work turning, out the most perfect
mechanisms. And since labor, in the
long run, is always paid in proportion
to the value of its prodect, by multi-
plying the ntunber of perfect products
the worker could produce in a day the
brain -treated tools made it possible
for him to earn more than he ever
could have earned with his unaided
muscles.

TESTS OF A CHRISTIAN.
•
Sunday, Dec, 30.-1 John 5: 1-12.
Golden Text:
Whosoever belicveth that Jesus is
the Christ is born of God; and every
one that loveth Him that begat Lovett'
Him—also that is begotten of Him.
(1 John 5.1.)
Christ meet every test that can ever
come to Him? .•
Will Christianity last? Will Christ
last?
Yes; the glory of the Christian life
is that it consists, actually and liter-
ally, of Christ Himself. The Christ-
ian is one who has, by faith, received
Christ as Saviour. And the moment
a lost sinner—which we all are --ac-
cepts Christ as his Saviour, that mo-
ment the Holy Spirit unites that sin-
ner to Christ, The supernatural, di-
vine fact of being- brought intounion.
with Christ by the Holy Spirit is call-
ed regeneration, which simply means
being born again.
The new birth, or second: birth, is
jest as literal a fact as was' the first
birth. Th -e one is supernatural, the
other natutal, And, as Moody used
to say: "If you are born only once,
you 'will die twice; if you are born
twice you will die only once,' That
is,' the second birth- means that the
believer will never go down into the
"second death" ivhich is "the lake of
fire." (Rev, 20:14,) • :
The last" two verses of Our lesson
statevery simply the glory of the
Christian life. "And this is the record
that God. hath given to us eternal
'and this life is in His Son, He that
hath the Son hath life: and he that
hath not the Son of God hath tot
life."
So one great test of the Christian is
whether he has eternal life, by, having
received the Son of God as that life.
Other tests: are given ht the les-
son.
The new birth is one of them. How
may we know whether we are bore
again, born of Gocl? "Whosoever be-
lieveth that Jesus is the Christie born
of God." Jesus is the human name
of a Man. "Christ" means "Anoint-
ed" or "IVIessiali." The whole Bible,
Old Testament and New, declares
that Israel's Messiah, the Anointed
00, the Christ, must be the Son
of God as to created matt has ever
been. Therefore belief itt the unique
deity of Christ is otte Of the tests of
the Christian.
Love for fellow Christiate is at -
other teat. "Fee' "every tele that lov-
The Christian must face tests of his
Christianity. He must expect to be
asked and he will have to prove that
Christianity is practical, not merely
a theory. Also that it has enduring
qualities, that it will last.
There is a book with the title,
"Christianity Ts Christ." The sentence
is based on Paul's inspired word: "To
me to live is Christ!' (Phil. 121.)
When we ask whether Christianity
is practical, we have the answer in
the fact that Christ, the Creator and
Redeemer arid Sustainer of the uni-
verse, certainly is practical—the ttei-
verse would fall to pietes if He were
not. "For by him were ail things
created , and by Him alt things
consist (hold together)." (Cot It 16,
17.)
Can Christianity meet every test
tests that may ever come to it? Cart
Dr. A .R. Defoe himself, who has -cast
aside his stethescope and his profes-
sional cares, and joined with his jolly
smile in the Christmas • festivities.

eth Him that begat loveth Him also wit tie was i ng o wa er y
word." (Eph. 5:26.)
And the blood of Christ, shed for
Our sins, is the only way of salvation
for lost sinners. "The blood of Jesus
Christ, His, Son, cleanseth us froni all
sin." (1. John •1:7.) •
Another Practical lesson in "tests:of
a Christian" can be had by reviewing
the lessons of this :quarter. They
show us that tests, of a Christian are:
Fellowship with Christ; the Christian
uses and loves his Billie; the Christ -
ion prays .effectively; the Christian's
standard of life honors God; ,the
Christian always - keeps on growing;
the Christi -alas is the best citizen;' the
Christian is -faithful in Church fellow-
ship and deties; the Christian is a
trustworthy: steward; the Christian
bears a true witness. to Christ; the
Christian teaches truth, not (alsehood;
the Christian and. the Lord's Supper
show "the Lord's death till He conie'L,
the Christian's hothe: life meets the
that is begotten of Him."
Loving God is another test, 'By
this we know that we love the child-
ren of God when we love God."
Keeping God's commandments is
another test of the Christian. "For
this is the love of God, that we keep
His commandments." We have no
right to say that we love God when
we are disobeying Him.
Power to overcome the world is an-
other test. • What does that mean?
Every one either overcomes the world
or is overcome by the world. • Do we
go clown under the pressure of the
world about us, with all its follies and
failures and sins and temptations? Or
do we rise above it in real victory
over it? "For whatsoever is born of
God overconieth the world." How can
we ever hope to do that? "And this
is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith."
• Christian faith means letting God
do for us what we cannot do for our-
selves. To overeome the world is a
miracle; • only God can bring it to
pass. The Christian has faith in God
for this miracle, and his faith is vin-
dicated.
Then to make the secret of victory
very plain and simple so that no one
than misunderstand it we. read: "Who
is he that overcometh the world, but
he that believeth that Jesus is the
Son of God?"
We are told that "there are three
that bear witness" in this matter of
true Christianity or the new birth and
the ttew life. The three are "the Spir-
it, and the water, and the blood,"
What does this mean?
The Spirit is the Holy Spirit, whose
work is to make Jesus Christ known
to men, to convince them of sin, and
to enable them to believe in Christ
as Saviour.
"The water" is a type or symbol
of the Bible itt various Scripture pas-
sages, and we know that the Bible,
God's Word, presents Christ as its
greatest and central theme; it shows
men that they are lost sinners and
need a Saviour, and it tells them who
that Saviour is and what He has done.
So the Church of Christ is cleansed
