The Bpe-Election
The Liberal Government of Prem-
ier Hepburn does not appear to be
losing popularity with the voters of
Ontario.
At the Nipissing by-election on
Monday, made necessary by the
death of Theodore Legault, who suf-
fered a stroke during a conference
at Queen's Park, some weeks ago,
Mr. J. Harry Marceau, Liberal can-
didate, was elected over his C. C. F.
opponent, E. J. Lawrence, by a ma-
jority of over 5,000.
With the' election of Mr. Marceau,
the party standing in the new Legis-
lature will be: Liberals, 67 ; Liberal -
Progressives, 3; Conservatives, 17;
U.F.O., .1; C.C.F., 1, and Independent

The Hydro Disclosures In
The Legislature
For some years, in fact ever since
the death of Sir Adam Beck, there
has been an uneasy feeling through-
out the Province, not only among
power users, but among the taxpay-
ers generally, that all was not well
with Hydro.
Repeated efforts had been made in
the Legislature and out of it, during
the life of the late Conservative gov-
ernment to secure plain fa,ct and
figures regarding Hydro manage-
ment and financing, but until that
government's demiseilast summer, no
success had ever been obtained. Hy-
dro and. Hydro affairs remained a
locked secret, the key of which was
held by only a few.
But the wheel has turned. Those
that were in are out, and these keys
have fallen into other hands and
have been used by their new owners
to unlock many dark secrets long
hidden.
If the exposUres of Hydro which
were made in the Legislature last
week by Attorney -General Roebuck
are true, and the Attorney -General
having all the facts and figures at
his command, there would. be a reas-
onable belief that they are, the peo-
ple's fears would appear to have been
well founded, for the ' picture Mr.
Roebuck paints is a sorry one and 'a
flaming disgrace, not only to suc-
ceeding Conservative governmentS,
but -to the late Hydro Commission as
well.
Even if these charges are only half
true, the situation is lightened little.
1V1r. Roebuck has Shown, and to date
no one has contradicted him, that
Hydro has been used as a political
football and worse. That millions of
dollars ,have already been taken out
of the pockets of Ontario people and
I transferred to the pockets of a few
private individuals, without making
any return for the money whatever.
Still worse, it would appear that
Hydro is bound hand and foot to
Continue to pay out millions of dol-
lars per year for thirty or forty
years, on precisely the same terms.
There is one assured fact, that
whether thee charges of misman-
agement of Hydro affairs are all
true or only partly true, whether
they are proven or go unproven,
their disclosures have not only start-
led the province, but have created a
deep fear in the minds of the people
regarding the future of Ontario's
greatest public utility.
The elisclaures will, unfortunate-
ly, have a far-reaching effect in many
other directions. If the contracts
"for the purchase of power, which the
previous government were so lavish
signing, are broken, or can be
roken, it will practically mean the
all of the power companies from
bleh the power was purchased, be -
these companies were organ-

There is no .doubt that some, if not
all, of these promoters are well able
to stand such a loss. But how many
- the investors who put their money
it to the bonds of these companies,
can afford to lose theirs? Not many,
and in the case of the small investor,
none.
The vicious manipulation of Hy-
dro is a sorry mess and a lasting dis-
grace to those who participated in
it.

Better Stay On. The Job'
The Conservative, following in the
Legislature is small in numbers but
is, apparently, exceedingly alive and
bent on showing the Government and
its followers that it is quite capable
of showing them a thing or two.
It is, and it did. On Friday last,
shortly before the House was about
to adjourn for the week end, Mr.
Price, the former Attorney -General,
forced a surprise division.
As far as the Government was
concerned, the result' of the division,
or the immediate discussion which
preceded it, were of little importance
from a political standpoint,
What the division did do, and in
all probability was intended to do,
was to show that the Opposition
members were on their job first, last
and all the time, while the Liberal
members were not.
Out of a House of ninety members
=to be exact, eighty-nine at the pres-
ent time—only 48 responded to the
call of the division bills.
• Where were the rest? At home,
or on the way there, it is said. And
the rest was made up of Liberal
members, or practically so, which
from a Liberal standpoint, does not
look too well.
It is true that the Liberals have an
overwhelming majority in the Legis-
lature, but it is likewise true that
the greater number comprising this
majority are new men and without
experience, while the Opposition is
small, but experienced.
.With much to learn, would it not
be as well for the Liberals to stick
around a little more and learn it?
Because school is let out at six
o'clock on Fridays for the week end
is no reason why the member schol-
ars should take the whole afternoon
off as well.
Better stay on the job, boys!
•
Still Plenty Of Money
We noticed that when the military
estimates were up in the House of
Commons a few days ago, there
seemed to be no lack of funds at the
disposal of the Government.
Fifty thousand dollars here, and a
hundred thousand dollars there, for
armories, military schools, stables
and what not, were common items on
the list, the whole running into some
millions of dollars.
We would also take from the esti-
mates that there is a dire need of
other public buildings throughout
Canada, $50,000,000 being, reserved
for, this purpose.
And then there are harbors and
docks and lots of other things scat-
tered throughout thecountry or con-
centrated in Conservative parts of
it.
If we didn't know for a certainty
that there was going to be a gener-
al election this year, we could pretty
nearly guess it anyway.
What we didn't know was that
there was so much surplus money
available to be,spent on these things,
and what is more, we do not believe
the people, at least those in the coun-
try, knew it either.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
Buying At Home
(Clinton Nes-Record)
The Nerws-Record has been appfroaehed from
time to time by tecal businessmen ,with sugges-
tions that we rap the.selling of this and that in
town by outsiders and the out-ofetevert buying
by citizens of the town and coMmenity. And we
have run Buy -at -Horne campaigns and have
,bought at home, at more or less coot to ourselves,
during all out business career in Clinton. But
this is what we've noticed. The retail merchants
in town who urge -us to keep up this) home toy-
alty stunt and work it in season and out; are
the ones who will, when am outside salesman
costes along, give their printing jobs to an out-
side firm. They say they can get cheaper work.

When Indians monied this country
of ours and were masters of all they
surveyed? Of course you dont, nor
does anyone else now living, but a
point of intereet arises however.
We had always . believed the In-
dians to have been pretentin large
rennbers and that during recent years
their numbers: had dwindled to prac-
tically nothing,
We were therefore interested to
learn from Clark Mlistier, ettratorein-
chief of Anthropalogy, A-merle:a Mus-
eum, writing in "Natural History,'
that the original lodian, po.pulation
on the continent numbered about
750,000. At present there are some
440,000, ao that less than 40 per
cent. have been lost. (When it is re-
membered that mom than. 100,000
Indians were wiped out by a terrible
smallpox epidemic in 1781, the per-
centage is greatly reduced.
Mr. Wissler, in his article, reviews
the relationship between the tribes
and the govetnenlent and says,: "In
the beginning, the Indian policy of
the America ra government had drawn
its inspiration from British and
French Colonial times. Both France
and England .recognized each tribe
ies an independent nation and • tried
to make each Indian chief feel that
he was talking as king to king. Ail
iquestioasa Iwair, trade and land
were •adjusted 'by treaties after the
'usual European pattern.
"President Washington followed
the same procedure The method pre-
vailed until after linO, when all In-
dians were declared subjects of the
government and in iao sense incite
pendent nations. Canada, on the other
haod, continued to negotiate treat-,
iesewell Into the wettest century.
'The important basic idea in this
ettitede was the recognition that, in
theory, all lands were Indian owned
and that the title to any such land
was extinguished by treaty only and
-wh,en, payments were made in Ac-
cordance therewith. The Dutoh
initi-
abed this policy by buying the island
of Manhattan. In the course of tithe
as more and more land passed into
white hands, the plots stiul in pos-
session of the Indians were sipoken
ef as "reserved" in the sense that
they were not open to white settle -

S. S. LESSON FOR
MARCH '10th
Lesson Topic—Peter Preaches To
Gentiles.
Lesson Passage—Acts 10:34-48.
Golden Text—Acts 10:34b, 35.
Devotional Readi n g—Psahn , 67:1-7.
In the preceding vcr..es are given
the vision sent from Heaven to Pet-
er and the message from God to Cor-
nelius by a holy angel. Peter bein:g
fully convinced by the thrice repeat-
ed letting down of the sheet from
heaven, set but with the messengers
sent ,by Cornelius and, arriving on
the second day afterwards, was re-
ceived into the house of Cornelius
where were assembled his kinsmen
and near friends. At once Peter be-
gan to explain how he had received
instruction ifnem heaven to accede
to the request sent to him, a Jew, to
go to the house of a Gentile. It was
Paul who had designed to be the
Apostle of the Gentiles, and to ga-
ther in the harvest among them, a
Ptter to be the Apostle of the cir-
cumcision, yet it is ordered that Pet-
er shall break the ice, and reap the
first fruits of the Gentiles. Wihile
Peter thought on the visiori the ex-
plan.ation was near at hand: From
this we may learn that if we would
be taught the things of God we must
meditate on. them and the Spirit-vsill
make dark things plain in His own
good time.
Having thus made his position
plain to those in the house, he at
the invitation of Cornelius began“to
preach to them. Cornelius had in-
timated their readiness to hear all
things that were commanded Of God.
Peter opened his mouth and said: St.
Paul in 2nd Cor. 6:11 said, "0 ye
Corinthians, our mouth is open to
ybu." Both these Apostles indicated
that "you shall find us comrnunica-
tive if we but .find you inquisitive."
Hitherto the mouths of the Apostles
had been shut to the uncircumcised
Gentiles, they had nothing to say to
them; but norw God gave unto them
the opening of the mouth. Peter's
sermon here recorded was the first
of its lcind. He began by saying he
had evidence that God is no respect-
er of pereons. For the meaning of
hat we turn to James, second °hap -
ter, where in our way of speaking,
he saYs: "It is not agreeable to Chris-
ian profession to regard the rich,
and to despise the poor. A. judge. is
. respecter of pers.ons when he fav-
rs one of the parties on account of
rivate friendship, or (because he is
man of rank, infleence or power;
r because he belongs to the same
olitical party." The Jew's supposed
hat they were peculiarly favored by
and that ,salvation was not ex-
.1to other nationseand that ,the
act of -being a Jew entitled them to
is favor. Peter here says that he
has learned the error of this d.octrine,
hat a man Is not to be accepted be-
ause iS'a Jew, nor is he to be
winded beeause he is a Gentile. The
artier is broken. down; the offer is
ade to all, All men thus were plae-
d on a level—none to be saved by
acternal privileges, 4one to be lost
y the want of them. This 'VMS what
eter was taught by his vision. SO
ow he told it at his firsts opportan-
y and emphasized free grate—but
every nation he that feareth him,
nd worketh righteousness, is accept -
"with him."
IPeter in continuing assumed that
Cornelius was pot ignorant to the
e of Jesus here On earth but to
fresh and to, make it live anew
efore them Peter " gave the chief
attires' of ow life. "Hove God
visited Jesus of Natareth With the
oly Ghat and with power, Who wet
onteleing gered tad healing all that
ere 014)fsted elf the 'tievile tor God
was with him. 'And we are witness-
es of all things:which he did, both
in the land of the Jews and in Jerus-
alem; whom they slew and hanged
on a tree. Him God raised up the
third day and showed him openly;
not to all the people, but unto wit-
nesses chosen before of God, even to
us, who did eat and drink with him
after he rose from the dead. And he
commanded us to preach unto •the
people, and to testify that it is He
which was ordained of God to be
the judge of quick and dead. To him
give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believ-
ep in him shall receive remission of
sans." In these extracts from Peter's
new sermon we see the proof • of
Jesus' promise being fulfilled to Pet-
er—"but the Comforters, which is the
Ilibly Ghost, erhom the Father will
send in My name, He shall teach .you
all things, and bring all things toremembrance,youremembrance,
you remembrance, whatsoever I
have said unto you." (John 14:26).
Peter's words were accepted of God
and blessed to the saving of all those
present. They were treated in the
same way as were the Jews in the
day of Pentecost. The gift of tongues
was bestowed to the omezement of
those Jews who had accompanied
Peter from Joppa. After this won-
derful manifestation of the presence
of God in their midst to break down
the barriers [between Jews and Gens
tiles, Peter bestowed upon the con-
verts the rite of baptism, thus openly
admitting them into the Christian
Church.
WORLD MISSIONS
"The Sound of Going in the Tdps of
The Mulberry Trees"
G. M.. Rose
On his return.to the United States
a well known missionary was asked
for a few :bottom facts about China.
He replied that it was impossible .to
supply them, and that for -two reas-
ons. "There is no bottom and there
are no facts." You can never tell
exactly where you are, out here,
things have a facility of not being
'able to "stay put," There are so
many influences at work in both
Church and State, that very often it
is the unexpected that happetts. With
Communism, militarism, nationalism,
anti-Nipeanism and the New Life
IVLovernent it is not always easy to
hitch Your chariot to a star in this
land. A better day is slowly' dawn-
ing, however; and so let Ime tell you
a few of the things which I have
seen and know since my return from
furlough a little over a year ago.
First I have been given a new field,
five counties. As I roam over these
spacious fields I 'often nay within my-
self, "The world is mar parish." Others
have long labored in this field and I
am entering into their labors.
At Easter I went to the south of
Weihwel to hold same meetings; I
travelled in a Chinese cart (ai ya!)
across the. sand dunes, twenty-dve
miles they said it was, it felt more
like two hnndred and fifty. We .1 -net
in a. well-to-do fanmler's home and
had our meetings in his yard. The
people came fro.m Dan to Beersheba
—'nary,—'nary,What a crowd! We had a
great rally. Were we busy? Well
you say! We 'searcely had: time to
eat or sleep. It was meetings morn-
ing, noon and night, sometimes mid
L -
night. On the ord's Day we had
Commlunion, iserviee, this first 4vssa
held in that part of orue field. Nearly
one hundred people participated, of
these forty-one were baptized thatafttersaoosa, afternoon, and twenty-two were re-
corded as inquirers, On the way home
I had to stop for a while to record
some mord. Other villaget also had
little groups ready for examination,
:but I hadn't the time at my disposal
to go to them. These: were new ex-
periences for me. These people are
really beginning to leak up. There is
so rtinelt elevoe' and confusion all a-
bout them, nothing Seems to be per -
1e et abiding, and thesr ' are
searching for ."thet Eingdone which
cannot be, moved," Ws great tfe he
inethina now. "There is eared of
going" and, in the right direttion, too.
