Map Stop War
• The astute move of the Emperor
of Ethiopia in deeding ojie hundred
and fifty thousand square miles, or
more than half of his Empire to Brit-
ish and American industrial inter-
ests may prove the deciding factor on
the side of peace in the present dif-
ficulties between -Italy and Ethiopia.
- • By leasing this huge territory to
British° and American interests for
the development of oil, mineral and
g power rights, this half of the eastern
Empire is no longer Ethiopian pro-
perty only. .It has'become for sev-
enty-five years the property of Brit-
ish and American citizens, and as
such, will be under the protection of
the British and American govern-'
ments.
Any invasion orinterference with
this 'territory would naturally lead to
protests, or the adoption of strong-
er methods' on the part of these two
governments. .
'That Mussolini would deliberately
endanger the peace between Italy
and the two most powerful nations
of the world at this distance, at any
rate, would appear to be remote. Al:
ready, more than once, he has pledg-
ed his word to respect the rights and
interests of the British Empire in
Ethiopia. Now when these interests
have been extended over half of that
country and the United States is al- -
"so concerned, can he afford to' risk
the future of the Italian nation by
,going back upon his word ?
Of course, no one knows definite-
ly how far Mussolini is committed to
his war venture, or whether he has
educated his people to make them be-
lieve in the rightness and necessity
of war. He may already have gone
too far to draw back.
But war • or no war, the situation
which has arisen by,, the action of -the
Ethiopian Emperor in turning over
half his kingdom° to British and Am-
erican interests will, . undoubtedly,
have far reaching effects. on the ex-
tent of his operations if he does de-
cide on war..
At least, it is to be decidedly hop-
ed for. Even war in a far and un-
known country, between two foreign
powers, is not a pleasant thing to
contemplate.
War, in these days, contains too
it -any possibilities. It is too easy to
get into, and too hard to get put of.
Even to win is to lose. We won the
last war; but the. consequences of it
will still be borne by our chilcrren's
children. They will still be paying
for our victory.
We did'not know in 1914 what a
foreign war meant. We did not
know it could not be localized. We
looked upon it something in the light
of an Adventure. We know better
now.
Or do w0 Sometimes reading
newspaper comment,. and sometimes
listening to conversations and com-
ments, we wonder.
Many of the middle-aged and old-
er generations have been following
the European situation with_ fear and
foreboding. ' They know the danger,
the consequences and the fearful pen-
alties that war entails.
But there is a -generation and a
half that has come into being since
the last war. They look upon war as
we looked upon it in 1914. We can
tell them about it, but we can not
make them see, or learn about war.
What We .can do iso' to hope that
the latest developments in the Italy-
' `�atidpia,sit ,ation;will dispel the war
and keep otir younger genera-
going through our .experi-
.
The jThanksgiving Controversy
Whlen election day was set for
Monday, October 14th, the day prev-
iously Jproclaimed as Thanksgiving
Day, and Thanksigiving Day was
postponed to . Thursday, October. 24,. -
the powers that be started some-
thing.
In fact they started a very general
and a very warm controversy be-
tween the choice of days. The news-
papers are full of it. Editorial com-
ment, news comment and letters to
the editors are all on view daily.
There is the `Monday advocate, and
the Thursday.. advocate, and neither
the twain will agree. 'the Mondays
want it on Monday because it -'means
a long week end. Two or three days
to stay at home, or to close up the
summer place, or to fish, or shoot, or
travel.
The Thursdays say that Thanks-
giving Day is more than just a pub-
lic holiday.. It is a day set aside to
give thanksgivingt and Thursday is
a better day of the week than Mon-
day for that. -
As originally intended and prac-
tised by our forefathers, Thanksgiv-
ing Day was a day set aside after
harvest, in which to give thanks to
God for the gift of the fruits"of the
earth, and Thursday was the day of
the week chosen.
And Thursday it remained until
very recent years when the day was
changed to Monday in response to a
vocal part of public opinion which in-
sisted that three days of thanksgiv-
ing Would be better than one.
Likewise Thanksgiving Day has
been on a Thursday in the United
States for the past seventy-two
years. Now Canadians go back to ,it
again, but not without -a long and
sustained protest from the Mondays'.
There are arguments on both sides
and good ones too. ° But from a pure-
, ly thanksgiving standpoint, it is pret-
ty hard to get away from the belief
that the Thursdays have the better
one.
Family gatherings at Thanksgiv-
ing were not unknown in other days
when the day was on a Thursday.
Perhaps they were even a little more.
common than they have been on the
Mondays.
With our present modes of rapid
transit, distance makes little .differ-
ence, if the will to foregather is
there.
Personally, turkey tastes just as
good to us on Thursday as it does on
Monday. Per h,p's a little better, be-
cause our appetite improves the fur-
ther it is removed from Sunday.
And personally, . it is just as easy
for us to accomplish a family'gather-
ing on Thursday as on Monday. Ev-
en more so in the summer months.
But, perhaps, the Mondays .are
right in one particular. One day in
a year (even if that day didcome in
the middle of the week) may have
been sufficient for our forefathers in
which to give thanks- for- their
meagre advantages and ' blessings,
but as for us, in this day and gen-
eration, we should at least -have
three.

Stiffer Sentences ,Needed
(Toronto Telegram)
A fine of $10 to $25, a few days in jail, with
suspension of drivieg license for a month or two,
seems to be the worst penalty that d-unken driv-
ers have to fear in the courts of Ontario: The
permit ,suspension is practically meaningless as
there is naa, method• of enforcing it. The other
penalties are too small to make much impression.
Offences .continue at an undiminished rate.
The St. Thomas Times -Journal illustrates the
leniency of our counts bypointing to the case of
a risotorist in Eastern Ontario who., convicted of
reckless driving after his car had .killed a man,
was let off with a fine of $50, and a one-month
suspension of his driving permit. It contrasts.
this with the case of a doctor in Bristol, Eng-
land, who, acquitted of a manslaughter charge,
• was convicted on another charge of reckless driv-
ing and had his license suspended for life.
It is quite o!bv-ious that more drastie_punish-
ment must be meted out In Ontario if the prac-
tice of reckless driving While intoxicated is to be
ended. Permit suspension must be made effec-
tive by impounding of the ear or of the license
plates. And stiff jail sentences. must be imposed
on convicted persons. To deliberately :and un- '
recessariIy endanger llhfe and Timis is not a trivial
offence. It is a serious criane and ought to be •
treated as such,

"'We seek it here,

We'd like to put our socks in pawn,
That darned, elusive barley awn!
We are rather proud of the above
verse. "A poor thing, but our own."
We eannot recall reading any, poe-
ty (?) about the barley awn, which
goes to show that there may be many
fallow poetic fields just waiting for
the •poet with the seeing eye, and,
what is even more necessary, the
first-hand experience. Miss Graham
wrote a poem on the mosquito which
we recall with joy, arid Robert Burns
turned out trete poetry with the
greatest of ease on such extraordin-
ary subjeets as a louse, a haggis, and
a mouse., But we do not know of
anyone who has •ever felt; the least
desire 'to burst into song at the
thought of the barley 'awn. Profan-
ity --.often. But .poetry—never.
The barley awn is, we think, the
most innocent looking bit of iniquity
to be found on this whole planet.
Poison ivy looks poisonous to anyone
who has had experience with it, 'but
what farmer, however experienced,
ever succeeded in cornering the, elu-
sive barley awn, -Tile first inkling
wel'have of it's presence is when a
mysterious annoyance begins to make
itself felt somewhere in the neigh-
borhood of our left shoulder blade.

We make no pretense of being a
first-rate builder .of loads. In fact,.
we freely admit that without a first-
, y
rate pitcher of sheaves our leads
would probably shed themselves, the
way a moulting hen sheds her fea-
thers, here and there down the lane
until we reached the barn withra few
sheaves in the bottom of the 'rack.
The first load we built came near
to being our last. As we turned out
of the field into the lane a drop in
the road and the consequent jolt
started our sheaves on the downward
path, and tise felt ourselves slipping
gently but inexorably to starboard.
The driver, intent on his team, notic-
ed nothing. Becoming really alarm-
ed we ventured to ask, "Are we fall-
ing off?" A quick look, a startled
exclamation, and we were yanked
back to safety.
Motto: 'Be 'particular in building
the corners of .your load.
:Suoh sheaves as there are this
year—great, trailing, ugly, awkward
things! "What shall I do with this?"
we ask in desperation, as a sheaf
that covers a good square yard comes
'up over' the side.
"Suit yourself," replies the pitcher,
with airy unconcern. "'When they
leave my fork I'm done with them."
Does that show a Christian spirit,
we ask you?
One man, Ibrought up to believe
,.that everything we say and' do is
marked down by the recording angel,
wondered wistfully if EVEiRIYTHING
we said was marked down. "Because
'to ,matter Fhow good I am from now
on, if I have to answer for every-
thing I've said this harvest, I'm done
for."

Lesson Topic—Lydia and Priscilla
(Christian Women in Industrial
I ife).
Lesson Passage—Acts 16:11-15, le;
1-3, 24-28.
Golden Texts—Proverbs 31:31.
Paul, having been called in a most
impressive way to go into Macedonia
o take his, gospel message to the
p • e there, immediately set about
making preparations to depart.. In
due time he and his companions, Sil-
and St. Luke set off. Twenty years
had passed since the crucifixion, and
yet the chief ministers and leaders
of the Church had not yet crossed
over into .,Europe. Paul, assuredly
gathering from the vision that the
Lord had called him to preach the
gospel in Europe, delayed -not to go.
They had a prosperous voyage and
landed at Philippi, a city called after
Philip, king of Macedon, the father
of Alexander the Great, They settled
down there in that -city of varied
peoples and, .therefore, an advantag-
eous place for doing good.
One would have expected that, hav-
ing had such a particular call from
God to go there, they should have
had a joyful welcome, as Peter had
from Cornelius when the angel..sent
him" thither. Where was the man
that while beforeed h so?im
any notice asst k no of
the three strangers. "We were in
that city abiding certain days." They
were slighted and overlooked, when
they had every reason to expect
other treatment, but great men of-
ten receive such training for future
greater endeavor.
There was no synagogue in the
city or they would hlirV'e presented
themselves there.' They had not een
idle, though, for they heard o a
meeting place outside the city where
there was a gathering of worship-
pers of the true God each Sabbath
Day. Thither they found their way,
to observe that.the company'was one
of women only. The three men sat
down and soon after began to speak
with and to them.' These omen
worshi ed God according tb the
lighth had, but more was needed,
and Vhi as now being told them.
They nee ed God,llbut they needed
and thi was now being told them,
Paul opened up to them ,�thhe knowl-
edge of the way of life. And Lydia's
heart was opened so. that she gave
good head to the things whidl, were
spoken. by,Paul. ConversionWork is
heart work; it is a renewing of the
heart. Christ, in dealing with the
soul, knocks at the door'that is shut
against Him; and, when a sinner lets
Him in, the ear is opened to His
word, the lips opened in prayer, the
hand opened in charity, and the whole
life enlarged by obedience, tg His
will. Thus it was with Lydia; she
vas baptized and by that solemn
rite was,admitted a member of the
Church of Christ. "She was baptiser;
and ]ler household,"•by the same rule
that Abrahem and his household were
circumcised, because the seal of the
covenant 'belongs to the covenanters,
and their seed.
Acts 18.:1-3.—In Corinth We find
Paul 'working for a living by tent -
making. Though hewas entitled to
a Maintenance from the churches he
formed, when they were forgetful of
his needs, he kept himself by his own
labor and;, in this case, was thus.
brought into touch with fellow -tent-
makers, Aquila and Priscilla. In do-
me' so he set for us an example to
associate ourselves with kindred
spirits. When Paul left Cori'hih he
took with him • these two, because
they had..emind to accompany him.
A great affection for him had been
created in their hearts so that they
could not bear to be separated from
him just then. However, when Paul
moved on to go to Jerusalem he left
Aquwhere theay Priscilla
in Ephesus
labored At-
tendg the synagogue, they fell in
-with a certain Jew from Alexandria.
He was an eloquent speaker, and well
versed in the Scriptures of the Old
Testament, IHe had in addition' some
knowledge of Christ and. of the way
of salvation by Him. He had .been
instructed so far as John's ministry
as a forerunner of the Messiah was
concerted: Seeing this, the two
earnest souls listening to him gg,t
into touch with him and "expounded•
unto him the *ay of God more per-
fectly." They took,him into their
own house. Havingby their long
and intimate association with Paul,
come to know the truths Of the gos-
pel, they instrueted him in like man-
ner, They used their talents and, al-
though they did not consider them-
selves able to speak publicly, they
encorlraged and 'inspired' Apollos,
leading him into the clear light of

Open With Prayer
The Editor The Huron Expositor:
(Dear Sir: May I lave a little •
space in your good p er to say that
one reason, I think,bhat the affairs
ofi the world ingeneral are so bad is •
because we do not open and close our
political meetings with a few words
of 'prayer. -
Just think ofi it! Even the League
of Nations do not open and close
their meetings with prayer. Now, it
seems to me that since God, has
taugh't us how to pray, and we all',
know the power and the importance
of prayer that we should open and
close all our political meetings with.
prayer. And I am sure the wheels•
that run the affairs of our fair world.
will run ever so much smoother on
our political meetings in the future.
So let us make a a start in the right
direction at our very next meetings,
and I am sure once we start this
way (which is God's way), we will
stick 'to it. Thayou.
