The, Municipal Elections To date one would say that the Coming municipal elections were not occupying much space in the minds • of the taxpayers in either the towns or the townships. One hears so lit - tale about them. That, however, is no indication • that our present town and township fathers are all going to be returned by acclamation, even if some of them do deserye such consideration at the hands of the taxpayers. In fact, if one is to take the few early elections that have already been held, as a guide, one might ev- en believe that the ratepayers were very keenly alive to the question of municipal affairs, and t� just who would and who would not be intrust- ed with the duty of spending their tax money. These are trying, even dangerous times for many ratepayers and dur- ing the past few years many have been forced to think more about • money and taxes than they ever thought in their whole lives before. That thinking is good for the in- dividual. Likewise it will benefit the community in vthich he lives, provid- ed always that it is clear, clean think- ing, which must include the commun- ity as well as the individual., There never was a time when the community spirit was more needed. Never a time, when give and take and consideration of others was more desirable and more necessary than it is to -day. • Only good men possess these quali- ties and there never was a time when good men were more needed in muni- cipal office than they, are to -day. One infallable truth in this world is that you only get what you pay for. A good man is always the cheapest man a community can elect to office. Petty issues and the pinching of nickels invariably lead to the loss of dollars to a town or a township when the year's business is accurate- ly looked into and summed up. • The Coming Parliament When the Dominion Parliament meets at Ottawa in January next, it will be -the last session under Mr. Bennett's rule as Prime Minister, be- fore a general election. And every indication points to its being a lively, if not a historical session. The rumor, widely held,. that Pre- mier Bennett would retire from Can- adian politics at the end of his term as Premier, to accept a British Peer- age, has no foundation in fact. The Premier settled that rumor in a speech at Belleville last w e e k. His hat is in the political ring to stay. He is no quitter. He announced further- that the Government would make the terms of the Ottawa trade agreements the election issue. His Government, he said, would stand or fall on them and its record of the past four years. He made only a passing reference to Hon. H. H. Stevens and his Price Spread ommission. Whether Mr. Bennett wills it or not, however, Mr. Stevens will be a contending issue in the forthcoming election, and a very large issue at that as far as the Conservative party Is concerned. Mr. Stevens and the results of his investigations have had a very dis- turbing effect upon Mr. Bennett's 'followers, and his being forced out of • the Cabinet has created a split in the party which may have far reaching • effeets as far as Mr. Bennett is con- eitried. • There are numerous party follow - Of Course; who will stick to Mr. nnett, through thick and thin. re are ethers, and they are not a' will side with Mr. Stevens. e . • Witi the latter it IA UOt a, qUes lon of What they 'would' like to 401, 1S-Ut what their constituents ;will force them to do. All of which means that when' the Conservatives meet in their own cau- cus before or at the beginning of the session, there will be a new align- ment amongst them. Whether that alignment is sharp- ly -drawn at the first caucus or is forc- ed into the open ,by a vote in the House„ makes little difference. It will come eventually, and when it does the occasion will prove very em- barrassing and it might easily be, very dangerous for Mr. Bennett and his Government. Neither are the Ottawa trade agreements likely to bring much suc- cess to Mr. Bennett from the stand- point 9f an election issue. Mr. Ben- nett's trade policy is, and always has been, a eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. In the Ottawa agreements he went even farther than that. He took much and gave little. That policy 'may have pleased his Canadian man- ufacturing friends, but if British pa- pers are to be believed, it has never found much favor with old country makers, and particularly so with those in the woollen manufacturing industries, where murmurs have al- most reached the proportions of roars, and where reprisals against, Canada are in the offing. At the Iast .session of Parliament, for the first time during his term of office, Premier Bennett came more nearly to touching the cord of popu- lar opinion than he has ever done, or is likely to do. And that was the occasion when he made the surprise announcement in the House that he was in favor of reciprocity with• our neighbor to the south. Since then, however, we have heard little about re6procity and at the coming session, we will in all probability, hear less—from t h e Government side. Mr. Bennett will never sacrifice his industrial friends at any point for the sake of his farmer friends—if he has any—and as long as that remains his attitude, Canadian farmers can whistle their teeth out without com- ing any nearer to the goal of reci- procity. No one can say with any certainty just what will transpire at the com- ing session of Parliament, but it does lie within the reasonable bounds of certainty to say that it will be a mem- orable one. We wonder how many times Mr. Bennett has regretted the day he in- duced Mr. Stevens to substitute for him as a speaker before a Toronto audience, and how many, many more times he has regretted, as a result of that Toronto speech, the day he al- lowed that honourable gentleman to form a parliamentary committee of investigation which led to a ROyal Commission on Price Spreads? • WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY. The Popular Bike (From London Daily Mail) The wonderful display of bicycles and the big crowds at the opening of the bicycle and motor- cytle show in Olympia come as reminders that the pedal cycle is still the most popular of vehiclets No one who has !stood outside a large factory -at closing time can have failed to be im- pressed by the almost universal use of the cycle to go to and from work, which has been of such wonderful advantage to thousands. There are at the present time some eight million cycles in service in Great Britain. • Writing Letters to the Paper (Stratford Beacon -Herald) The Beacon -Herald has on hand five letters which were not printed in connection with the municipal election campaign. Several of them were signed by initials only, and of course that prevented their appearance. The others were written because some reader did not want a cer- tain Man elected to the council or elected as May- or. Had there been any reasons advanced why any of the candidates should not be elected the letters would have been considered, but there was no such reason given. There was no dismis- sion of issues involved. At some point there was a mean dig, perhaps a little hot shot or the de- sire to hold a man up to ridicule. A newspaper must use its own sense when accepting letters for publication, and our decision was that they should not be printed. When a citizen offer e his services for muni- cipal office he does so knowing 'he is not going to be paid for his work. He icnervs, too, there is.no graft by which he can hope to Make gain; if he does not he will soon 'find it out. Unless there is some valid reason why a man should not be a candidate,' thee he sfhould not be ridiculed or sneered att. He can be ctitieized if the criti- cism is fair and founded on fact. If he has been in afce 'Wore Ivis record is open to attack er praise and That is right and proper.

LESSON' FOR DECEMBERe16 ;Lesson Topic -The Children and the Lord's Supper. Lesson Passage -1 Ceirinthiana 11: 23-24. Golden Text -1 Corinthians 11:26. St. Paul in the latter half of this chapter writes a reproof to the Cor- inthians for their irregularities in the observance of the Lord's supper. In the preceeding verses he had com- mended them for following his in- structions and...imitating his .example even as he had made.Christ his Model in all things. It is probable that at this early period all the Christians in Corinth were accustomed to meet in one place. The apostle here particularly refers to 'their assembling 'to observe the ordinance of the Lord's sails:39er. At that early period it is probable that this was dome on every Lord's day. St. Paul reproves them for the .anan- nel' of their observance. He says: "Your intemperance, your greediness, your partaking o4' the fotxt separately and not in common, cannot (be a cele- bration .of that supper, or consistent with it?' The statement by St. Paul leads to the belief that the Cominthian Christians had entirely mistaken the nature of the ordinance, and had con- verted it into an occasion of ordinary festivity and even intemperance; that they had come to regard it as a feaSt in honor of the Saviour on some such principles as they observed: feasts in honor of idols; and' that they observ- ed it in some such manner; and all that was supposed to make it unlike those festivals was, that it was in honor of Jesus rather than an idol, and was to be observed with some reference to his authority and name. They ate and drank to excess and so turned a sacred -feast into a mere revel. It may seem remarkable that such scene should ever have occurred in a Christian church, or that there could have been such an entire per- version of the nature and design of the Lord's supper. But we -must re- merriber that these people had very recently been heathen, and were gross- ly ignorant of the nature of true re- ligion when the gospel was first preached among them. St. Paul says to theme 'What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not." In order to teach .thena the true na- ture and real design of the Lord's supper the apostle tells of the solemn circumstances in which it was • tilted; the particular object it had in view -the commemoration of he death of the Redeemer, and the pur- pose which it was designed to sub serve, which was not that of a festi- val, but to keep before the church. and the world a constant remembr- ance of the Lord Jesus until he should' again return. He did' not, therefore, denounce them for their irregulari- ties and ;gross disorder, but he ex- pected bo reform the evil by a sianple plain statement of the truth, and by an appeal to their consciences as the followers of the Lord Jesus, What he said to them is still the warrant for its observance to -dry: ."For I have reeeiVed of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you; that the Lord Jesus, the game night in whieh He was betrayed, took bread: And when he had given •bhanke, he Ibrake it, and said, Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of ,for 'After the same manner also He took th,e cup, when ,He had supped, saying, This is the new testament in iMty blood: this sib ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of M. Par eei often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do shave the- terd's death till He Cdtrfte." .„" fkt.

Several members entered' the dis- cus,sion, including Reeves M,cNall, El- liott, Eckert, Stewart, Sweitzer, Mun- nings 'Seat and McNabb. 'Moved, by Reeve 'Bowmen., second- ed iby Reeve Sweitzer, that we, the members of Huron County Council, regret. the absence of Hervey Erse - kine, our faithful and capable Treas- urer through illness. We trust that 1'e may soon enjoy the best of healtis that we may enjoy his friendship, and we recommend that a letter or sympathy be sent. Motion carried. Moved by Reeve. Bowman an& sec- onded by Reeve 'Sweitzer, that ethe Clerk prepare a 'resolution to be••for- warded to the Minister of Public wel- fare that this county councir are not in favor of doing away with the loeali inveetigating comtniittee en pensions,. and a copy be forwarded to the mem- bers from Huron. -To the Legislative Committee. Moved by Reeve Leiper and second- ed- by Reeve Davidson, that we now adjourn until to -morrow at 9.30 a.nt- . • Wednesday Having thus shown them the true nature and- design of the institution,: He proceeds to state the consequenc- es of partaking of it in an improper manner. "Wherefore, whosoever shell . eat this bread, and drink this cup of the. Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and 'blood of the Lord." It is important !there should be a e0T- rect understanding of this passage. A clergyman, on one occastiore see- ing a woman allowing the cup to pass her, took up another .and' handing it to her said: "Take it, woman. It is for sinners." It is to be re/Membered that the word is unworthily not un- worthy. It does not refer to person- al qualifications but has reference to the manner of observing the 'ordin- ance. Whatever may be our e,.con- sciousness of personal unworthiness or urefitnese-and that consciousness cannot be too deep -yet we may have such love to and such a de- sire bo be saved by him, and such a sense of his worthiness as to make it proper for us to approach and par- take of this ordinance. "But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup." This examination should be of a private nature to see if we are gain- ing the victory over our besetting sins. It should extend to all our Christian relationships in the family, the conernunity and the church, to see if we are living the life of a Chris- tian. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh dam- nation to himaelg, not discerning the Lord's body." !For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and: many sleep." It may possibly have been the case that the intemperance and gluttony which prevailed on these occasions was the direct cause of no !small part of the !bodily disease which prevailed and w'hich in some cases terminated in death, or as here indicated asleep. The question may arise whether God ever visits His people now, `ivith His displeasure for their improper manner of observing this ordinance. There is no reason to suppose He in- flicts bodily disease on account of it, but there is no reason to .doubt that the improper observance of the Lord's supper, like the improper observance of any other religious duty will be followed with the expression of God's displeasure, and with a spiritual (blighting on the soul. - (Commen- tary). • WORLD MISSIONS Christian Literature Society (Continued) We know that many of our dearest friends are not rich in this world's goods -from yout dear friend we ask your intercession.
