SEAFORTH, Friday, May 15, 1936.
We Are.Not Complaining
We are not complaining, but it
was just a little warm over the week
end. It was not so much, the wea-
ther as the sudden change.
One Sunday a big fire in the fur-
nace indoors, and an overcoat out.
The next it was too hot inside, and
still worse out.
Still we are not' complaining. The
past winter is not very far away yet;
and the past spring is still nearer.
And we dont' know what's coming
either.
And after all, the heat has brought
out a marvellous growth. The grass
is green and long, and the leaves are
half way out on the trees. And the
crops are showing through the
brown earth, and the, land is working
up well.
But it was a little hard on the farm ''
horses, this sudden heat. In fact it
was fatal to a few, we have heard,
andthis is a bad -time to suffer the
loss of a horse.
And the heat was pretty hard on
the feet of the farmers who drove
the horses too, although ' we have
heard nothing more fatal about the
drivers than a general' 'condition bf _
being dead tired. Perhaps they. are
not as keen as the horses, or perhaps
they can not be driven as hard. ,
Just 'look over the country and see
how well it looks, and what promise
it gives. And anyway; what is the
use of complaining? If nothing else,
,
the past, five years in the country__
should at least have taught U's that,
if nothing more. .

Reducing Representation At
' Queen's Park ,
It has been intimated by Premier
Hepburn that when he introduces a
new Redistribution Act it will call
fora reduction in the number of re-
presentatives at Queen's Park.
Such a reduction, we believe, will
3neet with very general approval
throughout Ontario. • That Ontario,
like every other Province in Canada,
is over -governed, we all admit, as
,well as the fact that such over
government is an unnecessary bill
expense that Ontario taxpayers an
ill afford to meet.
Where the ' argument starts is.
where this reduction is going to take
place—in the cities or in the country.
Naturally the cities will claim that
on the basis of representation by
population, they are now under re-
presented and that the reduction will
have to, be made by a doubling up of
~-rur,1 constituencies.
On the ,other hand, the rural sec-
tions will claim that the doubling up•
of their constituencies will create a
situation that will tend to circum-
stances that will eventually, if not
very soon, prevent" a rural constitu-
ent from offering himself as a candi-
date for election to the Legislature.
Rural constituencies are now, in
many cases, already so- large that
many rural members are finding it
an impossible task to make ends
meet, and unless they are risen of in-
dependent means, which few repre-
sentatives are, they will either have
to forego politics,), or make politics a
means of livelihood.
That is a situation to be deplored,
if not feared, bec'aus'e if political fav-
ors are put up for sale, or political
patronage is to go to the highest bid-
der, rural representation, whether.
representation by population, or any
other kind, will end right there. And
with it will end any chance- of good
overntnent.
When representation by popula-
toot VMS, a, in'easure, adopted in

ario it was a sound prh'neiple. At
th t time, and ,,for some years 'after,
its of ci l�,�s
dents in the rural :districts, were men
of'..Canadian birth or men of Ango
Saxon descent. They were men who, . .
knew government, andto whom
political and civil liberties were mit:
just mere words.
To -day the situation has changed.
In. every large city, and ' in many
smaller ones, there is a foreign ele-
ment that has a voting power equal,
if not superior, to ourown race.
-'They may be Canadian cite, ns,' but
in their own minds and in their whole
background, the theory of govern-
ment, and particularly good govern-
ment, holds no place at all. To them
the franchise means neither liberty
nor equality. If by exercising it they
can gain a few favors or make a
few dollars, well and good. Aside
from that, too . many of them have
neither interest nor understanding
in our governmental system.
That may seem a harsh or even un-
true criticism, but if those on the
outside knew what those on the in-
side know about a foreign element
constituency, say, in the city. of 'To-
ronto, we believe it would not be
1 very, generally contradicted.
If there is to be a reduction in the
representation at the Legislature --
.and there should be—the difference
in the character of the make-up of
rural and urban constituencies are
things to which the Government,
should give first and serious consid-
eration. We believe, too, that Pre-
mier Hepburn will see it in thatlight.
What Would The Think ?
On Saturday we read in the news-
papers where the giant German air-
ship, Hindenburg, had crossed over
° the Atlantic Ocean from Germany
to Lakehurst, New Jersey, on the
American continent.
Not only that, but the Hindenburg
carried a passenger list of fifty-two
persons; who 'travelled in all "the lux-
ury of modern hotel life,, and with
greater ease and comfort than even.
the greatest steamships could have.
furnished. And they did it all in
sixty-two hours.
Yesterday w walked through
e . � _ Q- '. ,.a
cemetery where we read the inscrip-
tions carved - on the 'stones which
mark the resting` place of, a few of
our honored pioneers..
And from them we learnead that,
these pioneers had been born in Eng-
land, in Ireland, in 'Scotland, and one,
in Germany, between the, years
. 1820 and 1840. All of them we know
came to this country in childhood or
early manhood,, when a sixweeks'
journey across the Atlantic was a
record, and the average time was
from two to three months.
Travelling two or three months,
huddled together ina small , boat,
without, any protection from the
- e'. or cold; without any comforts
�r accommodation, and often without
even the bare necessities of Iife, ex-
cept which they had provided for
themselves before they embarked, or
were given to them by their more
fortunate companions.
And we wondered what these pio-
neers would have thought about. the
Hindenburg and its passenger list.
and its tons of freight, and its sixty-
two hour journey from the old land
to the new.
And we wondered what they
would think if they could , see the
fields and farms they cleared from
the forest being ploughed by trac-
tors and tilled with modern machin-
ery, and of the cars that flew past.
And we couldn't help but wonder
a little too, what these old pioneers
would think of our stewardship over
the heritage they left us. Of our
spending proclivities, and our public
debts. ..
What would, they think? We
don't know3r but we have a feeling
that there would be more than just
a turning in the grave. • There would
be a general.'resurrection.

S. .S. LESSON FOR MAY 17, 1936
Lesson Passage—Jesus Inspires Hon-
esty.
Lesson- Passage—Luke 19:1-10,' 45-48.
Golden Text—Exodus 20:15;
Zachaeus, being a Jew, was much
despised by his fellow countrymen
for acting as a tax -gatherer. He was
not 'only that belt he was chief among
the .publicans. That is, he received
their colleetdons and ,!sent them 'bo the
Roman govern,rnent.', The evangelist
has thought it wad; recording that
Yxe ere, eaaa kao<+?n, a i f ..as
so unlikely that 'a rich ,man Shaun
follow , so poor and ,:despised a 'person„
as Rests 'of Nazareth. Not Many rich
were called during his personal min-
istry.
No doubt ,he, while foll'owimg his
occup'ati'on, had heard of ,the prophet
of Nazareth and when Jesus came
into his vicinity .=natural curiosity
'prompted him to go to see Him. It
would seem also that mere curiosity
led to his c'onversi'on. He made haste
to get a good posiition in the crowd
and not' long after he made 'has'te to
receive the stranger as a guest into
his home,- We are endouwiaged to ex-
tend hospitality, for thereby we' may
entertain angels unawares. - In this
case a royal guest in the garb of an
ordinary traveller Was received into
t1ie home Of one whom the Jews're
garded' as a 'sinner. Entertaining
Jesus and listening to His talk made
a deep impression on Zacchaeus, We
are inclined, to believe that this tax
collector was .quite unaware he had
been somewhat 'unjust and was per=
haps troubled thereby and so the
words • of Jesus. fell upon prepared
soil. His conscience. caused him to
make open confession there and then
and he `resolved to make amends. Al-
tl.lou+gh . a Jew be 'was' not worthy to
be-c'ail'led a son of Abraham. Now by
repentance and by receiving Christ
into his life as well asi into his home,
.he 'became a real son of the father
of thie faithful. "And Jesus said un-
to' him, This day is sa'lvati'on eome to
this 'house, for's'omuch as he also is
a son of Abraham. For the Son of
Man is come to seek and to save that
which Was lost."
Jesus then, while in the house of
Zacchaeus, spike a parable similar
to that of the talents as rec'arded in
St. Matthew . 25. That Wats spoken
after the reached Jerusalem this
while on the way there. That was
deli'v'ered to teach them the neces-
,s'ity of improving the 'baleants 'cox-
rxf itt,ed to them;. This Wats to correct
a Mistaken id'e'a about His Messiah -
ship. His .dis'eip'leef were expecting
Him, on His entering Jerusalem, 'to
set. up Hli's kingdom and free the
Jews from the 'dominion of the Rom-
ans.
To correct this wrong expeetiaatien
Jesus telle them of a man who had
a ritght to a kingdom, yet who., be-
fore taking possession of it, went in-
to another ldingdenv—thus intimating
that he would also to away before
he would dampletely .saet up his king-
donv (verse 12). He. (tells /them that
this nobleman left his servants pr'o-
perty to be ilm n onned in his ''absence.
He tells 'them that this nobleman was
rejected by bus own eiltitents saying,
"We will not have this ram to reign
over us."
Jesus wished to convey to the
minds /of His disciples Iby this par-
ebile that the nobleman, represented
himiself and that hie going into a far
country meant his returning to heav-
en t)o the right hand td God, ,before
fully 'setting tip hms kingdom and es--

the city, He showed His present. in-
*erest in the !temple by purifying it.
He gave His reason for slo doing. It
was a ho•use of �pr'ay�er, set apart for
munion with God; the buyers and
sellers made it a den of thieves by
the fraudulent bargains they made
there. He put it to the best use that
ever it was put to, for He taught
daily in the temple and that far fiw
,or ':.rix days 'before His crucifixion.
The great •Sanhedrim that should
have .attended to His preaching and
should have summoned the people to
attend .to His words, sought to de-
stroy him. How different was the
attitude of the common people at
that (time! "They were very .atten-
live to hear•Him." Sonia read
the people, as They heard Him, .book
His part"; and so it comes in very
propex'ly, as a reason why Hi+s en-
emies could not find what they might
do against .H•i•m. Tall His hour was
come, His interest in the common
peop•le,,protected Him; but when His
hoar was .cone, the chief priests' in-
fluence upon the com:mnon people de-
livered Him up. --(C'ondens'ed from

WORLD MISSIONS

• gola.. in' 1930
By Effie Jramieston Day
The first impression made indelibly
an my mind on arrival in Africa, was
of the greatness of her pedple. The
visitor isthe one who feels strange,
it is the native people w'he are mas-
ters ef the Isi!':'tiaation. Even when the
'cerennoni'es oR welcome included a
wild and weird native dance by the
Chiefs gathered, or when visiting an
absolutely primitive village, the abil-
ity, spirit and power -of h'e,nOvirn-
bundu were evident. • A great people;
ever seeking after God, as the Spirit
House to be found in every village
mutely prb,claliims. •
. Then vividly is seen the power of
/the Christian, religion, to • redeerm. To
redeem men, transforming them, into
•sons 'of God, devoted d'i'snilples and co -
laborers . In 'the bringing in .of the
Kingdom of God on earth. To re-
deem the community, fox in place of
huddled 'huts there arise better hous-
es on straight" etreeits, with an at-
tempt at soave beauty. by the plant-
ing of trees, border ariid flowers.
Power to redeem human relationships
for here were 'bones 'where .hairband,
wife and children live ..tbgether,,,the
one Name, ;in!site'ad' of the huts of sev-
eral wives, ,with different 'anothers of
the children and a :podyganmvIoouts: fam-
ily life. The,. eti'f traast `between these
children d.emonstrarted that . it is in
the C'hristi'an family that childhood
grows to streifgth and beauty. The
redeemed ;Spirit House is the, School -
Church, which stands in the., centre
of the village, 'with 'all that means
for the redemption bf "mind, body and
spirit.
Then comes the impres'si'on of the
size of the Unfinished Task, for there
is still to be 'seen lin the Eight of the
morning sun, "c'ountless villages
where the 'Gaspe' has not yet been
preached." The new work among the
Luilm'bi, 'Cholewe and Van G'oirnale's
tribes 'has scarcely more than begun,
while up the 'boast and in the, great
hinterland lie vast stretches, es yet
untouched, ":Are 'we not people too,.
have not we a right to the Worths of
God?" asked some women of the
Selles people a fortnight prior • to our
arrival in Africa. A gigantic Un-
finished Task, urgent toe, for a ma-
terialistic .eivilbi!satilon is sweeping in
on Africa.
But the mbast `tragic impression of
all was bf isafferim'g Arnica. iIt was
to 'me'et the -need of suffering human-
ity that Albert. Schweitzer went to
Africa. The land of the w'i'tch doc-
tor desperately needs' the tws fold
aninistdry of healing. The tropical ul-
cers, .malaria, leprosy, pnewmtoni'a,
tuber'culbsis and many other diseases.,
tropical and ativerrwi'Se, ravage the
African people. Lt seemed in me
quite the gravest, unsolved problem,
eonfroniting our .
Africa ran 'onlyworkbe healed' by the
Afric'aans, The problem- is too greet
I
tobe solved in anyether a
