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.

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. It is -quite
dilferent from the desire to 'shoot a dart at a
eandidate for no particular reason apart from
the faet that some person dovenet:want to see

S. S. 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."

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).
