PRAYER 0 Lord Jesus Christ, thou good Shepherd of the sheep, who didst come to seek and to save that which was lost, we beseech' Thee to be pre- sent in thy power with thy church in this our land.

Amen. (Selected) . S. S. LESSON FOR DEC. 7th, 1924 Lesson Title—The Man Born Blind. Lesson Passage—John 9 13-17, 26-38. Golden Text—John 25. The disciples were troubled in their day, as many are to -day, about the why and wherefore of human suffer- ing. Why is it that some of the most saintly people endure constant suf- fering and are deprived of many of life's good things? Are these the outcome of their own or some other person's transgressions ? The ques- tion asked by the disciples seemed a foolish one, amounting to "could a man sin before he was born?" Jes- us in His reply did not deny that sunering may be the outcome of sin, but in this particular case it was not thus brought/about. Jesus used this man's condition to proclaim Himself the light of the world. Having thus settled the question for the disciples, Jesus proceeded to show them how every sufferer should be treated. He at once proceeded to give Him help. He must, He said, work the works of Him that sent Him. So when we help in any way the help- less, we do the work of God. We are not to wait until we can do some great thing for Him, but to be eyes to the blind or feet- to the lame. "Our Lord was not a great organizer. He did not busy Himself with form- ing societies for this, that; and the other charitable work; but "as He passed by" He saw one blind man and judged this a call sufficiently ur- gent." (The Expositor's Bible). The man born blind heard this talk about himself. At once he was all attention and as the words, "I am the light of the world" fell upon His ears a sense of expectation and awe would take possession of Him and He unre- sistingly would receive the treatment from this stranger's hand and at once fallow His bidding. He submitted Himself, He obeyed and was healed. He, on his return from washing in the pool of Siloam, became an object of much interest. To the neighbors he had previously been just one who sat and begged, but now his identity is disputed,so great a change did the touch of the hand of Jesus make in his countenance. Fre! P_nts.

They srr rare, not because tltare are only a fcw,,,but for the simple mann that roost of therm have remained stored away and forgotten, in old trunks, fanaiili' chests and closets. Make a thoroth .search through your attic or storeroom.; for these old letters— anything mailed from 1845 to 1875. I, am a collector, not a dealer. Have nothing to sell or circulars to send, but am wiliitfg to pay for rare stamps more than the average dealer. l The stamps I am eapecially interested in are the early U. 8. issues on envelopes mailed_. to Canada, the stamps of Canada, British Columbia, New Brunswick, .New- foundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Vancouver, also a few of the early issues of Great Britain and Colonies. Loose stamps I do not buy—only those on the original envelopds. So don't cut them off the envelopes. Letters mailed since 1875 bear mostly common stamps, and these I do not care for. I collect nothing, but stamps, and am not interested in buying old relics, old newspapers, books or coins. There are many stamps of different issues which are similar in appearance. It is therefore im- possible for me to quote values from de- scriptions. I must first see the stamps. When you have gotten all the envelopes together wrap the hunch carefully, using cardboard to protect them from becoming wrinkled or creased. Please don't write on the face of envelope—I am, fully ac- quainted cquainted with the issues even though the postmark shows no year date. Don't use pins. Private lettersinside the envelopes may be kept by you as it is only the en- velope I want. (This would not of course be possible with the old-fashioned folded letter, as the letter itself form the "en- velope.") If you have reason to believe that your envelopes are of special value, send them by registered mail. In order to avoid hav- ing the package held up for customs ex- amination mark on the outside "Old Stamps, Not Dutiable." I hold myself re- sponsible for the care of such envelopes while in my possession. On receipt I will examine them and if . found of no value., or if my offer is unsatisfactory, I guarantee their safe return to you. Make your search now, before the ad- dress is lost or forgotten. Tell your friends or ask permission to look o,ve.r their old letters. Many elderly people have kept hundreds of such leters, and might wel- come the opportunity of realizing money for them at very Little trouble and no ex- pense. .0 Clotho Verses 13-17.—His Confession. It -was not enough that his neigh- bors should wonder and dispute over the change. They must make it a public matter so they brought him to the Pharisees. They questioned him and he told the same ample story of his healing, "He put clay up- on minx ey: s. and 1 ..: ned, as,: ,fie se,2 " They could no, dispute .l , fact, so they '•esorted to the old ,- cure that Jesus c• a.i+l not be whit he cluirnad to hs or he v ould keep :se SSitl';ith Day S.'iting :n this 'e iy how co:S.1 he t er`seni such a b.•• - acle Again they questioned the man and. out of an enlightened mind through having experienced the good- ness of God, he answered "He is a prophet." The Jews, however, did not yet be- lieve in this miraculous cure, and so they called His parents to give testi- mony. They claimed Him as their son, and that He was blind from his birth, but gave no further informa- tion other than to say he was of age and could answer for himself. In this way they avoided angering the Jews and saved themselves from being put out of the synagogue. In the case of the son, fear of man was absent, for his new found joy eclipsed all else. Verses 26-43—Excommunicated. Again he was asked to relate the method of the cure, •but this he re- clined to do, asking instead; and in the question, declaring himself a disciple: "Will ye also—be his disci- ples?" This angered them, and they vehemently proclaimed themselves followers of Moses and disclaimed any knowledge of Jesus. The fear- less nature of the man sprang to the defence of his benefactor and' he re- buked them for their ignorance. Nothing that they could say could rob him of the inestimable boon that this man whom they declared to be a sinner had conferred on him. He then uttered his final argument, "If this man were not of God, he could do nothing." This presumption on the part of a former blind beggar in- censed them so that they exclaimed: "Dost thou teach us?" and they cast him out. Verses 3,5.38.—His reward. As he came to himself he could not but feel his position keenly; but he was not left long to brood over his ions of caste, for Jesus heard rind sought him out. He had been cast out of the visible church only to be received into the fellowship of the Son of God. i:' ie experienced the bless redness that follows from sacrifices made for Christ.. He became a tette believer in the one who gave sight:>'lCo his blind eyes.

And so it goes, II>,lnting has its sad side as well as its glad aide. When one is caught killing moose, dear caribou, beaver, otter and other fur -bearing animals out of season, or otherwise ;violating the game lama, things are not so rosy especially when one has to pay a .fine of anywhere from. POI'to..$2001 Or, if one is caught shooting wild duck, partridge, etc., out of season, one's minimum fine is $5 and costs and the maximum $50. If, within 2 years, the offender is againcaught the fine. is not less than double the minimum and if found guilty of a third of- fense is never less than double the maximum. The game illegally killed is forfeited. Motor cars, guns. ammunition, boats, decoys and all appliances used during the illegal sport are seized and sold by the goo... ernment. "But we really have very few cases of illegal shooting," G. M. Parks, game warden in charge of the North Bay district told me. "On the whole the community observes the game laws. When we do, we nearly always catch the °offenders red- handed or with the game in their possession, which is sufficient proof of their ,guilt." "Is it true," I asked, "that an formant gets half the fine?" "Absolutely no!" came the emphat- ic reply. "That was in force a few years ago, but not any more." In his district, which covers ter- ritory four hundred miles wide in Northern Ontario there are eleven overseers. Each has a certain amount of land to cover in trailing suspects. Their offices are at Sudbury, Little Current, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Cochrane, • Hearst, Blind River, Chapleau, Follette and New Liskeard. When an overseer finds a person breaking the game laws in his area, he summons the offender to his office, where he is tried by the nearest resident magistrate. The provincial constables work with the overseers, but only make a small number of arrests when com- pared with those made by the over- seers. When an overseer hears of illegal shooting he waits his chance to catch the offender red-handed. Sometimes it is a false alarm. One of these false alarms occurred recently in the North Bay district. I heard indirectly that a party of Am- ericans was in the bush near the bay, shooting deer on a fishing license with a cost to them of only $5.50 as against a non-resident deer and moose license of $41. Rumor ,subtly sug- gested that they were slaughtering the animals. "They won't get away with any $50, fine," said the wiseac- res who were in on the secret. But an overseer sent to watch the suspects found that the Americans were only having a harmless, hilarious time in the bush. Accidents also give the sad turn to many a hunting party in the north country, but fortunately there are very few of a serious nature. The "whys" of the game laws in the north country are of keen in- terest to the enthusiastic hunter. Why cannot one shoot on Sunday? Why is it against the law to shoot from a motor car? Why are there certain seasons for certain animals? Why is it within the law to shoot deer, moose and caribou south of the French and Mattawa rivers from No- vember fifth to twentieth, inclusive; north of the French and Mattawa rivers to the main line of the C.N.R. from October twenty-fifth to Novem- ber thirtieth, inclusive; and north of the C.N.R. from September fifteenth to November fifteenth, inclusive? And, lastly, why is there a bounty on wolves? Taken on a whole the answers to all these questions are, indirectly, the same—that the law works on behalf of the game and its preservation. Any game warden will tell you that shoot- ing from a motor car is not sporting and doesn't give the game a chance. I know from my own brief experience that a deer, for instance, when he hears a car ' is startled by the noise and runs a short distance. Then his curiosity gets the best of him and he turns back, stops, looks and listens. During that pause anyone could get him from a car. But if the hun- ter has to jump out, load his gun and take aim before shooting, the deer's curiosity has had time to be/satis- J fied, and overcome aby fright, he hoists his flag and dashes off into the bush. As to the regulation for certain sea- sons for certain animals, Mr. Parks says that the law endeavors to set a season that is best for both game and hunter, but errs on the side of the game. In the case of moose and deer, a cold season is chosen so that the hunter can keep his game and freeze it. The bounty offered on wolves is because they are probably the most destructive wild animals alive. They gobble up all the partridges -arid rabbits and other wild game that makes good eating. They are a nut; sance to the settler, as they destroy his domestic animals. give me- some salve to rub on the sores on my arms." Can you believe that anyone would make such a ridiculous statement? Yet these -words by+an old man, blind in both eyes frorn- cataract, were spoken when we ex*rlained to him that if he would give us permission we would take him into the hospital and would operate on the eyes, and most likely he would receive good vis- ion in both eyes. "I want you to understand," he said, "that it isn't that I am afraid of the operation, but I am a beggar by profession and people when they see that I am blind in both eyes are very generous with their alms, and if the Lord restored my sight I would have to do some harder work, as then these people would not give me so much money." And the blind beggar of . Meshed- Barsia, is not unlike many spiritual- ly blind people who will not receive their sight because it might destroy their confessions. H. A.

THE NORTH ALL SHOT UP WITH GUNS AND STORIES The hunting season in the north country is in full swing. There are millions of wild ducks in the air, lakes and rivers. Hundreds of deer, moose and caribou roam the bush. Only partridges and rabbits are scarce. Because of this shortage of part- ridges the open season was short- ened to protect them from forty- five days to ten. Every day, luxurious motor cars roll into the town of North Bay— the gateway to the north—bearing their quota of travellers, guns and ammunition. Every day, small cars, packed to the brim with men and camping supplies, come ehug.chug- ging down the main street. Natur- ally, there are hunting stories as unbelievable to the uninterested as the proverbial fish stories. "It it hadn't been for those men I'd have had him sure," one of the veteran hunters of North Bay confided his latest yarn to Inc. "I was out in the bush.. with my rifle, and suddenly I heard, as distinctly as I am sneak- ing, the call for and answer of a moose. This kept up for a few min- utes and every time the moose gave back echo for echo. The human call was ahead of me, as was also the moose call. So I tramped on, hop- ing to get a shot. Then I looked up and, peering through the brush, saw three moose on the other side di ,a creek.

She is as dead mentally as one of last week's fish. "She thinks I ought to get out here to entertain her," said Jerrry, in per- fect good humor.
