SEAFORTH, :Friday, March 1.
The Legislature
The Ontario Legislature got away
to a fighting start last week. Scarce-
ly had the Speaker concluded the
prayers which launched the House
on its way, before the fight began.
Ex -Premier Henry and one of his
followers fired the first shots, but the
ammunition they used proved very
defective,' with the result that both
guns kicked badly, leaving some very
sore spots with the would-be potters.
Premier Hepburn may be young,
inexperienced and anything else that
his opponents .may choose to call
him, but there is one fact that stands
out—he is not helpless.
.
or is he afraid in the presence of
his enemies.
If the opening session of the Leg-
islature is lived up to, the present
session promises to be the bitterest
political battle in many years. The
material is there and there seems to
be a general willingness to use it.
At any rate, Premier Hepburn has
drawn first blood and if he holds his
own as well as the rounds go by, his
tenure of office would appear to be
one of considerable length.

Will The Election Be In June
Or September?
Most Canadians are aware of the
fact that the present parliamentary
term ends during the coming summer
and that an election must be held
this year.
But when? That question rests,
of cours,e, with Premier Bennett,
who will have the first and last say
in the matter.
That fact, however, does not pro-
hibit the .every day man on the street,
as well as members of parliament,
from entering the field of speculation
on the question, and there has been
much speculation at one time and an-
other since the new year.
Mr. Bennett's pronouncement to
the young Conservatives, whom he
!addressed- in Toronto on Saturday
evening last that: "The election will
be amongst you like a thief in the
night," has served to create fresh in-
terest in this momentous question,
and again election talk is very preva-
lent.
When the present session of par-
liament opened in January last, we
do not believe Mr. Bennett had any
more idea of when a general election
would be called, than his humblest
follower in the HouSe or any of the
Opposition force. That decision would
rest on many things.
And one of them was the attitude
of the opposition. If the opposition
proved refractory and tried to block
the Premier's proposed reform legis-
lation, there was every chance that
out of that opposition would arise
something that coUld be seized upon
as an election issue and he could go
to the country at once upon that is-
sue;
/If not, something else might turn
up;times might improve and unem-
ployment be bettered. He had the
better part of a year in which to
make his decision, why hurry?
But times have not improved to
any appreciable extent and unem-
ployment has not lessened. And still
worse from Mr: Bennett's stand-
point, the wave of enthuSiasm, which
followedlis, five nation wide broad-
casts is, dking down and fading away
bemuse of his utter, lack of legiSla-
eon to supplement his broadcast
rotnises, • ' •
And: the opposition has shown a
1.6d indlination to help and not
in1et)„.4ifd time is passing, and

nothing is being a,ceomplished, not
much even being attempted.
In all probability that is why the
Premier now declares: "The election
will be amongst us like a thief in the
night." He is beginning to feel that
there is no time to waste, no time
like the present. -
The belief is now widely held in
Ottawa that Parliament will be giv-
en a recess from the middle of April
until the end of May in order to al-
low the Premier and some of his
ministers to attend the Silver Jubilee
of King George in London, but that
-before the Premier leaves, the elec-
tion date will be set and that date
will be the middle of June.
It is claimed,. however, that some
of the Premier's ministers favor an,
election in September, although it is
claimed that these are in a minority.
July and August being holiday
months in the city and harvest
months in the country, there is very
little likelihood of these being chos-
en, all of which leads us back to the
question: Will the Dominion elec-
tions be held in June or September?

Tracing One's Pedigree
Mrs. Christian Sells Jaeger, histor-
ian of the Columbia Genealogical So-
ciety (whatever that may be), claims
to have succeeded in tracing her ped-
igree back through 159 generations,
to Adam and Eve.,
Among the ancients of 1 history
whom Mrs. Jaeger claims as her for-
bears, are Roger Williams, Edward
III of England and Henry I as well;
(no mention of Henry VIII) ' • twen-
ty-one generations of Scottishkings,
Irish kings who ruled back as far as
nineteen' centuries; the Pharoah
Nectonidus (not King Tut) ; Zede-
kiah, last of the Kings of Judah;
David, King of Israel; Enas, Seth,
and finally, Adam.
That is a , stupendous record, re-
quiring a ,stupendous amount of re-
search work and Mrs. Jaeger must
be a very persistent as well as a very
energetic woman to have attempted
it in the first place and to have ac-
complished it in the second.
But after all her stupendous exer-
tion, has Mrs. Jaeger demonstrated,
or does she believe that she is in a
class . by herself, as far as pedigree
goes?
If the human race sprang from
Adam and Eve, who but they could
have been her forbears? Why, then,
all this research work and all this
blaring of trumpets as a result of
it?
Shucks! What has Mrs. Jaeger
got in her pedigree to make her stick
up her head over the rest of us?
Not one single thing. Don't our
pedigrees run back to Adam, too?
If that is not true, Mrs. Jaeger will
have a far harder time in proving it,
than she did in tracing her own pedi-
gree. Far harder. And, what is
.more, we are quite willing to let her
try. She seems to have an inquiring
mind.

Hepburn the Youngest Premier
(Branrbfoed Expositor)
It has been pointed out that the Han. Mitchell •
F. Hepburn is the Founcest Premier ever to' hold
the office in Ontario. This is perfectly true, but
he owe' S it to fortoitoue circumstances' that this
is the cas.e. Mr. Hepburn was born August 12, ,
1896, so that when he assumed office on July 11,
1934, he was within twenty-two clayof being
thirty-eight years .of age.
FAwarri P,3ake wq- born October 13, 1833, and
became Premier on December 19, 18'71. Hepburn
has a slight advantage over Blake, who succeed-
ed the Hon. Sanefield 'Macdonald. The latter dis-
solved the iHouse without warning and contrary
to expectation's, and the general election was held
on March 21, 1871. His governrment was defeat-
ed, but the Legislature Waif; net summoned until,
December 7th, the Premler having decided WI
bold office until he was defeated by a direct vote
of want of confidence. 'On December 14th, an a
note being 'taken as to the competency of the
Government to trartsact (businese, it was defeated
by a majority of eight.
Affairs dragged on until Mr. Blaike, on Decem-
ber' 18th, 'ameng other things in a direct vote of
want of car:fide:nee mioved "that the centintance
'in office ofethe Government of the day is, under
existing cireurmstanees, at variance with the spir-
it of the constiturthen.", 'The Premier met this
reeolution by a motion adjourn the 'House un-
til January 9th. This was lash on a vete of 48.
to 26, and afterwards Mr. Blake's resiolutien, was
carried by a vote of 44 to 25. On 'December 19th
His Honor the Lieutenant -Governer called Mr. •
Blake to florin a new administration% Thus Me.
Blake was 67 days east his thirty-eighth 'birth-
day. However, if the Sanfield Macdonald Gav-
ernment had resigned office 22 days after the pro-
vfnciai elec-biton, as that of the Hon. George S.
Hervey did, Mr. Blake couqd have assierved, office,'
184 days befere he was 38 years of age ot Octo-
ber 18th. The delay, however, kept Mr. Blake out

S. S. LESSON FOR MIARCH 3, 1935
Lesson Topic—Peter Unmasks False-
hood and Hypocrisy.
Golden Passage—Acts 5:1-6; 8, 18-
24.
Golden Text--Ephesians 4:25. "
Devotional Reading—Psalms 139:17-
24.
Dr. C. J. Vaughan hes in his cem-
m,entary on this incident in 5:1-6
noted four great lessons that may be
derived from the transaction of Aan-
aias.
(1) There is such a thing as act-
ing as well as telling a falsehood -
Ananias did not say that the money
he brought was the whole price sof
his land; he simply allowed men to
draw this conclusion for themselves,
suggesting merely by his conduct that
he was doing exactly the same as
BarnaJbas. He sold his estate, brought
the money to the Apostles and would
fain have gotten the character of a
man of extraordinary liberality and
unselfishness, just like others who
truly sacrificed their all, while he en-
joyed in private the portion which
he had kept back. Ile sought to ob-
tain a great reputation among men,
but had no regard to the secret eye
and judgment of God,
(2) What an illustration we find
in Obis passage of the saying of the
Apdstle, "The.love of inoney is the
root of all evil;' which, while some
coveted after, they have erred from
the faith, and pierced themselves
with many sorrows!"
(3) What a responsibility is in-
volved in being brought near to God
as 'Members of His Son's Church be-
low! There were hypocrites in abun-
dance in Jerusalem at that time, but
they had not been blessed as Aananias
had been, and therefore were not
punished as he. There is a reality
in our connection with Christ which
must tell upon us, if not for good,
then inevitably for evil. Christ is
either the savour of life unto life or
else the savour of death unto death
unto all brought into contact with
Him.
(4) Lastly, we learn frorn this
history how to east out the fear of
one another by the greater and more
awful fear of God. The fear of man
is a goad thing in a degree. We
should have respect to the opinion of
our fellows, and strive to win it in a
legitimate way. But Ananias and
his wife desired the good opinion of
the 'Christian community regardless
c 'he approval of the -watchful eye
Stujererrie Judge, who interpos-
ed to tea& His people by an awful
exa-mple that in the new dispensation
of Love, as well as in the old dis-
pensation of Law, the fear of the
Lord is the beginni-ng of wisdom.
Acts 8:18-64.
'At the titre Saul was persecuting
thb °bur& at Jerusalem Philip left
the city and went to Samaria and'
preached 'Christ there. He baptized
many and among • them was imen
Magus, a sorcerer and great seducer
of the people. Peter and John went
there to confirm these new aris-
tines. "Widen 'Simon saw that through
laying oh ef the Apostles' hands the
Holy Ghost was given, 'he offered
themt money, saying, Gish _me Also
thie power, that on whomsoever 'I lay
hands, he 'may receive the Holy
Ghoet." This offer explains the na-
hire tyf hie faith. He was convineed
intellectually of the truth of certain
external feet vahielehe had seen. He
knew nothing • of hpii4tuat need, or
theapoteer of shi or a oteeire for in -
el peat% arid hairtesa. Intellect
tual conviction does not mean spiri-
tual conversion.
'Then foll6ws the address of St.
Peter to his notorious sinner. It is
very plain spoken. He could never
have spoken so sharply as he did to
Shnon had he not perceived with
quick spiritual insight the inborn
baseness and hollowness of the man's
character. "He was in. the gall of
bitterness and bond of inquity." How-
ever, he indicated to him how he
could escape. "Repent therefore of
this thy -wickedness." Repentance
first and then prayer must follow
—
"And pray the Lord, if 'perhaps the
thought of thy heart shall be forgiv-
en thee."
The exhortation of Peter awoke a
temporary sense of sin, though it
wrought no permanent change in
Simon. It has left, however, an eter-
nal blessing and a permanent direc-
tion to the Church of Christ.—(From
The Expositor's 'Bible).

WORLD MISSIONS
THE TOLPUDDLE MARTYRS
Mr. Lloyd George Lays a Wreath At
the Chapel
Tolpuddle Village was excited when
it became known that on Saturday,
on his way to address a meeting at
Dorchester, Mr. LlIoyd George would
call at the Methodist Chapel to do
honor to the six peasants who, a hun-
dred years ago, endured criminal
transportation in their breve' fight
for justice. The circuit superintend-
ent, the Rev. F. J. Williams, had been
requested to arrange for a wreath to
be 'placed on the memorial arch at
the entrance tothe Chapel. This was
Mr. Lloyd George's first act on an
riving at the village. No speech was
made at this point, but the distin-
guished visitor stay -ed some time at
the Chapel. He was greatly inter-
ested in the century -old circuit plan
bearing the names of George and
James Loveless and Thomas Stan-
field, three of the six "martyrs" ^and
in the grave af William Hainimett
(first cousin to James Hammett, one
of the six), who was instrumental in
erecting the present chapel when
worshippers were compelled to give
up pos,seesion of the old building—
now, though a staible, an object of
interest to all visitors. Mr. Lloyd
George remarked to the superintend-
ent that he thought it a very great
pity that this small, plain building
had not in some way been kept in
the possession of 'Metho,dism. The
visitor's book at the Chapel now
bears the names of D. Lloyd George,
Margaret Lloyd George, followed im-
mediately by that of Mrs. Thomas
Hlardy, widow of the Wessex novel-
ist, who was present. As a Dorset
man, the superintendent asked that
the Hardy name might be written in
the book on this eventful day.
The call at the cottage in which
the Tolpuddle laborers held their un-
ion meetings gave Mr. Lloyd George
his great comParisron, in his speech
at Dorchester, between the Upper.
Roomt at Tolpuddle and the room at
Whitehall, reminding the great crowd
that the men of Tolpuddle began their
meetings with prayer, se sure were
they that they were doing the will
of God. A short stay at the trees
that have come to be kno-wn as
Martyrs' Trees, because in their
shade the Tolpuddle local preachers
proclaimed the Gospel to ' their fel-
low-villag'ers, gave to Mr. Lloyd
George the chance of making a short
speech on what he evidently felt to
be hallowed ground. "In these days,"
he said, "when) liberty is in greater
peril than at any time during my
rather long career, it is light that
'we should come together to honer
the memory of those who built up
our liberty, mid though now talking
as little part as possible in politics,
I felt, when I had an invitation to
join you here in honoring the inenis
ary 'ote those great heroes, that -I
could not refuse, and I tan ,delightd
to tome down." On the suggestion
of Mi. A,11, Edwards, the Meth -
°diet superintendent offered prayer
