SEAFORTH, Friday, June 14, 1935.
Just The Opposite
At the June session of thecounty
council, that body unanimously en-
dorsed a resolution which read:
"That this County Council invite
the other county councils of Ontario
to unite in requesting the Imperial
Parliament of Great , Britain t o
amend the British North America
Act, so as to abolish the Provincial
Legislatures throughout the Domin-
ion of ,Canada, on ' the grounds ' of
economy and as a relief to the tax-
payers of the country, and have our.
public business conducted as it is in
the Old Land, and that a copy of this
motion be sent to all County Councils
in Ontario."
In commenting editorially upon
this resolution, the Goderich Signal
said: "The resolution may be but a
gesture, but the powers that be at
Toronto should not make the mis-
take of treating it lightly."
Why not? How else and in What
other way could, such a resolution be
treated? If the purpose of the Coun-
ty •' Council was to impress t h e
Ontario Legislature • and the people
of Ontario at large, with the author-
ity and the wisdom contained with-
in that body, they could not have
chosen a more unfortunate way of
pointing it out.
If that really was the object of the
county council, most thinking -people
are of the opinion that the results at
tained by this resolution will be just
the opposite of their hopes.
Huron has been most unfortunate
in the, manner and kind of resolu-
tions that have been proposed and
adopted by its County Council.
It is only a few years ago that a
resolution bearing on the British
„ pound and the gold standard was
sent down from this County to Ot-
tawa, that is still remembered and
referred to by the House of Com-
mons members as a classic of intelli-
gence. The present resolution is just
as,,meaningless and displays the same
amount of intelligence.
In fact, it is resolutions of this
kind that have been corning out of
county councils over Ontario in re-,
cent years and not their business
acumen and usefulness that has been
forcing "their attention upon the
Legislature and ,has led to so 'much
talk about the desirability or neces-
'sity of their abolition.
In recent years, there seems to
have been developed a type of county
councillor, fortunately, as yet, few,
who is possessed with a consuming
itch -to break, into the daily papers at
the expense of their county.
Ambition, of course, should be en-
couraged, but would it not be better
for all concerned if these' ambitious
co91ncillors, would confine their ef-
forts to the business, and only the
lousiness, that concerned the county
coglncil•
Arid if that field was too restrict-
ed, would it not be better for all con- ,
cerned if they entered the larger
field of politics, where they could
campaign at their own expense,' and
not at the expense . of the council's
time and the taxpayers' money.
'1 he Expositor has said many tinges
and still firmly believes that there is
no legislative body that ,can be run as
economically-, or from whfch the peo-
pie have derived greater benefit,
than our coliftgy founcil system. But

• A, body • of unemployed in British'°
Columbia has started can a h' nger
march • across - Canada to Ottawa, ,
there to air their grievances, real or
fancied, before the Government.
The marchers are said to number
in the thousands, and undoubtedly
their numbers will increase as they&
move east
The leaders have called it a hunger
march, but in all probability it would
be nearer the mark if they had said
it was a march organized to look for
trouble and to supply it where want-
ing. .,
No' good can be accomplished by
such a march. In all possibility, no
good is intended, as these same un-
employed have been doing their ut-
most, for some months, to make life
miserable for the law-abiding and
work -inclined residents of the coast
province.
The march is said to be organized,
and well organized. The leaders are
said to be men of ability. If that is
true, they are using that ability, not
to forward peace;..' but with the hope
of fomenting war,_ or at least trou-
ble, and plenty of it.
Whatever the cause or the aims
that are being proclaimed by the
marchers, there seems to be no lack
of proof of the' fact that there is a
strong Communistic ,:move behind it,
as well as in its leadership.
1To good will come to the then, and
some very severe damage may be
done to 'the towns and cities which
they visit en route, if this • march is
permitted to continue.
What should be done is to gather
in the leaders, give them a fair and.
honest hearing, and if they can not
show any justification for their ac-
tions or aims, deport them to a man
where deportation can be made, and
the rest should be shown no consid-
eration whatever.
Canada has every sympathy 'for its
unemployed, a fact which .is being
demonstrated daily, : but there is no
place in it for Communism, or the
followers of that cult.

Money In Twins
There would appear to be Teal
money in twins. At least, it worked
out that way for one proud father in
St. Louis.
And the procedure was this: On
February 20th last, the St. Louis resi-
dent, Mr. Coffey by name, paid
Lloyd's Insurance, of London, ninety
dollars.
And for this consideration, Lloyd's
of London, on their part,. agreed' to
pay Mr. Coffey one thousand dollars,
if twins were born into his family.
Mr. Coffey won. Twins were born
into his family last week and Mr.
Coffey has collected the thousand dol-
lars, nine hundred and ten dollars of
which is found money.
That kind of insurance opens up a
wide field of investment for heads of
families.
Suppose now that Mr. Coffey had
bet three thousand dollars instead of
one. In that case he would now be
in possession of $2,730, a nice year's
income.
And supposing he made the same
bet next year, and the year after, and
the year after that again.
And as the size of the family in-
creased, he went on increasing the
size of the insurance, wouldn't 'he
have enough for all, and to spare?
Of course there is the item of the
twins themselves. But what has
been done once, can be done again,
and even if there was an odd year
when there were no twins, he might
still be s, rich man before he died.
Isn't it the easiet, happiest and
most profitable way of going about
the family business that you ever
heard of?
Some one might say there are the
Dionnes, and so there' are—five of
them. And it only( took one year to
make all of them rich in their own
right, and make their parents inde-
pendent as well.
But we can't all be Dionnes, and
anyway, we were talking about the
simple matter of twins and not of
quintuplets, and we want td stick to
• the subject,'

S. S. LESSON FOR JUNE 16, 1935
Lesson Topic—Christian Stewardship.
Lesson Passage—Deuteronomy 3:11-
18; II Corinthians 9:6-8.
Golden Text—I Corinthians 4:2.
Deuteronomy 3:11-18.
•
This passage is selected from the
long address which Moses delivered
to the children of Israel before they
passed over the river Jordan' into the
promised land. He described the land
to them thus: "A good land, a land
of brooks of water, of fountains and
depths that spring out of valleys and
hills; a land of wheat, 'and barley,
and vines, and fig trees, and pome-
granates, a land of oil olive, and
honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat
read without scarceness, thou shalt
not lack anything in it; a land whose
stones are iron, and out'. of whose
hills thou mayest dig .brass."
Then he admonished them not to
forget the Lord thy God for the good
land which he hath given thee; he ad-
monished them to beware of forget-
ting the commandments of God as
they grew prosperous and began to
think it was their own effort that es-
tablished their goings.
We find the following in The Peo-
ple's Bible on this passage:
(Hlere we have Mose's answer to
the 'first great question in politics:
Wlha't makes a nation prosperous? To
that wise men have always answer-
ed, as Moses answered; "God." That
alone makes a nation prosperous. But
the multitude, who are not wise men,
give a different answer. They say:
"What makes a nation prosperous is
its wealth."
Moses does not deny that wealth
is a good thing. He takes for grant-
ed that the Jews will grow very tieh,
but he warns them that 'their riches,
like all other earthly things, may be
a curse or a 'blessing to them. When
'riches multiplied, they might forget
God and say, "My power and . the
might of my hand hath gotten nae
this wealth."
God 'give's power to get wealth iri
two ways: (1) He givgs the raw ma-
terial. (2)s He gives the wit to use
it. Moses bade •the people remem-
ber that they owed all to God. What
they had they had of God's „freeglft,
What they were they were 'of God's
free grace. Therefore they were not
to boast of themselves, their numbers,
their wealth, their armies, their fair
and fertile land. They were to make
their boast of God, of God's • good-
ness.
If we as a nation go on trusting • inp
ton(rselves ,{rather than God; if we
keep with,} us' the'.hard, self-suffici-
enth spirit, and boast to ourselves-,
"My power and the strength of my
hands have got me this and that,"
ancly' in fact, lave under the notion,
which too many have,''ithey we could
do very well without God's help if
God would' let tis alone—thein we are
heaping ruin and sheltie for auselves
and for otnr ehildaren:after lis. Itt this
sense GOA .is Weed. a .jealous'`Grod,
who will not give His honor to an-
other, but will punish those who trust
in anything except Himself.
6 Corinthians 9:619.
The Apostle Paul wants to, carry a
point, and it is .deeply interesting to
dee how he sets himself about it. We
know his great intellect, his won-
derful command of language; we
know how he can wrestle with a
solemn doctrine; but how will he
persuade these Corinthians to give
him money? They had pr'omise'd a
year ago! but the money was not
forthcoming.' Paul says, hi effect:
You began a year ago to get ready;
I know your disposition is perfectly
good and we 'have been speaking
highly of your liberality. Now some
of these ,people are coming over from
Macedonia and if it should happen
that your collection is not ready when
they come, where are we? I do not
say, Where are ye? but, where are
we? Paul virtually says, You had
better pay in advance. Then Paul
proceeded to set forth the only wise
rule in the matter of giving.
"But this I say, He which soweth
sparingly shall reap also sparingly ;
and he which soweth bountifully shall
reap also bountifully.
' Every man according as he pur-
poseth in his heart, so let him give,
not grudgingly, or of necessity; for
God 1'oveth a cheerful giver.
For God is able to make all grace
abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things,
may abound to every good work."

WORLD MISSIONS
Those Who Are Helped Become
Helpers.„
The following incident is reported
in connection with one of the large
city institutions:
"A good woman whose spiritual
life had been quickened in this mis-
sion noticed that just across the
street from her own home a new
family had moved in. It was not an
uncommon thing in that part of her
city, bud� this° case for some reason
which she could not explain had a-
roused in her a peculiar concern. For
two or three days she refrained from
going to see her new neighbors hot
during this time she could not get
the family out 'of her mind. After
retiring the third night she was un-
able to sleep ,and told her husband
that she must go to see these new
people, as she was convinced that
there was something ivory seriously
wrong with them. Dressing hurried-
ly, she mad her way across the street.
She had scarcely knocked when a'
'land from the inside wrenched the
door open in the most eager fashion
and the two women faced each other
in silence for a few nvomenfts. Then
the newcomer exclaimed, ''lt'e you!
You have c'om'e! Now I know that
there lea God fat heaven—d have
prayed ever since coming- here that
if theme is a 'God in heaven that He
would nerd you to me, you are here.
There is a' God it. heaven and He hears
prayer.' The story Wass quickly told.
For three days there hadbeen little
er nofood and now it was all gone.
The good' woman • after hearing the
story of distress went back to her
home, took out her store of • rprovi-
sione (it was not very large) and di-
vided it equally. Assisted by her bus -
band who was now aroused and im.-
terester, she took one-half to the
newly found friends in their great
distress: The helpers found that it
was 'more .blessed to give' than to
receive,' The recipient's know beyond

stressed particularly that he did not
feel anything should be done, to an-
tagonize the Department. He also
.felt personally that we' were not
at:ending too much money in respect
to the care of the children at the'home, lHle stated that $600,000 per
year had been spent in the •'County

tion spent in the care of the children
was • quite out of line with the a-
mount spent on roads. — Report
