SEAFORTH, Friday, July '3, 1936.
President Roosevelt
Renominated
President Theodore D. Roosevelt
was renominated at Philadelphia, on
Saturday last- by the Democratic
party, for a second term as President
of the United States of America.
His renomination came as no sur-
prise to his own party followers, the
American public or the world at
large. It was, in fact, a foregone
conclusion, as was also the fact that
no other name would be proposed.
-3t is also, we believe; .- generally .
acknowledged by all political parties
in the States, that President Roose-
velt's re-election is just as ' assured
at the elections this fall, as was his
renomination last Saturday. With
the spending money he has at his
command; the political machine that
-money and patronage -have built up,...
and with a disorganized party as his
opponent, the result could scarcely
be otherwise. Voters are loath to
kill a Santa" Claus: that works twelve
months every year; even if that San-
ta Claus- does not spend his own
money and peddle his own toys.
Judging by what the newspapers
report, and what was heard from the
convention city over the radio, it was
a wild scene that witnessed the .Presi-
dent's nomination. To a Canadian,
or perhaps, to a native of any other
country, it was more than that. It
was amazing,' if not appalling, and
certainly does not come 'within the
scope of our Canadian understand-
ing.
Not that Canada lacks nominating
conventions, ane enthusiastic ones
too. It was only a few weeks ago
that the Ontario Conservative party
nominated a new leader at which
time, enthusiasm from a Canadian
standpoint reached a new high wa-
ter mark. But that momentous
gathering `and "the enthusiasts '.that
composed it, compared with a• Presi=
dental nomination, did not 'make as
much noise nor display any more en-
thusiasm, than so many flies walk-
ing on a ceiling.
Just imagine, if you can, • thou-
sands of accredited delegates sitting
for eight hours to hear fifty-six
speakers and having enough enthus-
iasm left over to join one hundred
thousand other people, to cheer for
over a solid .hour before they per-
mitted their chosen candidate to
speak.
Well, that is an American Presi-
dential nominating Convention.
•
Holidaps Are Here
School closed on Friday last and
thousands of school children are foot
loose antancy free for the next two
months or so.
Well, perhaps not all of those thou-
sands. In fact we know that those
who compose the country contingent
are not out of school yet, as far as
work is concerned.
To the country pupil at Large, sum-
mer holidays mean just a change of
work. Into the hay fields and the
MOWS and the harvest fields they will
go -not to mention the potato fields,
the roots and the corn. -
Of 'course they -can make play out

Poor town parents. What work
and worry summer holidays mean to
them. Or do they? Take "a look
about and , see what you think. Is •
worry and exaspe'ration the lot _- of
the neighbors rather than the par-
ents of the children?
Do you ever see children making
a playground of Main Street and the
back alleys of that street during the
summer holidays? Do you see them
out on .any' street or every street,
long after dark ?
Do you ever see them where they
ought to be, or do you ever see them
where they ought not to be?
We all know that there is a know-
ledge not gained in schools, but how
many parents 'are even bothering
about the kind of knowledge their •
b

g these summer -holidays?

In Spite of the Weather
Are we going to have any summer
this winter? The days are beginning
to shorten, and we haven't had any
yet. At last- not lnuch-
The spring was backward and -
cold. We are into July now, but
there has scarcely been an evening
out of doors that a coat of some kind,
and generally an overcoat at than;
did not feel comfortable. Nor an
evening that a little fire indoors
cane --amiss. __ __
But in spite of the weather, we
have . not a great deal. to complain
about. There has not been a great
deal.of rain for awhile, but there has
been no hot sun either.
The ground-, has preserved the
moisture and the growth has been
wonderful. Haycrops, grain crops,
roots and vegetables give promise,
almost fulfilled, of bumper crops.
'And weather conditions in the
fields for man and beast have been
ideal. It probably will be worse be-
fore it is better. So why complain.
There are two things in this coun-
try that we can bank on. One is win-
ter cold, and the .,other is summer •
heat. The first has been, perhaps, a.
little prolonged, but the second will
come. You don't need to worry
about it.

Not An Enviable Record
Statistics for the ,past year show
that there were six thousand, eight
hundred and eighty-five deaths ;eaus-
ed by violence in one form oran-
other, in Canada during 1.935.
Of this number, one thousand, two
hundred and twenty-four were the
result of automobile accidents. Truly
an appalling record,
Figures for 1936, . of course, are
not available, but to• date, judging
by newspaper reports; even last
year's record will be eclipsed,, at
least as far as automobile accidents
are concerned.
•"'" Every week -end sees the total rise,
and the holiday and tourist season
is just commencing.
Why not be a little more careful
from now on this year ? A,' record
for violent deaths is one record that
Canada should shun with all the
powers at her command, and that, in
the abstract, does not mean the other
fellow -.-but you,.

S. S': LESSON FOR JULY 5, 1936

32-38.
Golden Text—Acts 18.
The conversation's and. intercourse
berbween our 'Lord .and. His apostles
clueing the- forty days ,between the
resiurrection and the ascension must
have ,been ,•,of intense interest. But
we have but glimpses of these meet.
inns and discourses. Ohe such. is in
the passage we read in Acts 1:6-9.
These peasant followers of Jesus
were ,curious' to know when the king-
doni wase to be restored to the chil-
dren 'of Israel and they grasped an
'opportunlity to 'inquire of the risen
-Christ. "Lord, dost Thou at this
time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
Again and again has history vert-
fied and .amply justified ,.the wisdom
of the Master's reply, "It is.. not for
:you to know time's or seasons." It
was justified. in apostolic experience.
The .Chri'sitians of Thessalonica inr-
biibed the notion from St. Penns'
words that Christ's second coming
was at 'hand and their ordinary way
of life was .paralyzed and ,idleness
led naturally to sin, so that St. Paul
had to rebuke them sharply. He knew
that an idler,. no matter how si:piri-
tual he pretended to be, must eat, so
he laid down the rule, "If any will
not work, neither let :him: eat." Thus
was the Mural and spiritual tone of
the Macedonian church restored to its
normal condi
Christ, after ad reproved the
i
spirit of vain eur,i 't�y' which strikes
art the root of all practic'al effort, then
indicated the source of their strength
and the sphere of its activity. "Ye
shall receive power after the Holy
Ghost is conn lepton you." Intellect,
talent, clogiience, wit, all these
things are God's gifts, • but they are
not the source of spiritual power.. A
man may podsese thein one and all,
and yet he 'lladkimg in that spiritual
p woro er which came upon the Apostles
through the !descent of the Spirit.
They were to receive power, Jesus
told tl ern, 'and' then designated the
sphere 'of `their future activities. "Ye
shall 'be my witnesses, ,borbh' in Jer-
uisalem, and in all• Judaea, and - Sam-
aria, ,and• unto the uttermost parts of
the 'earth." The Apostles were to

Apostles to wait in Jerusalem until
they 'should receive the fulfilment of
the promise of the Father. The time
when the gift of the :Spirit was 'give-
en is marked for us as "when the
day of Pentecost , was, now come,"
Pentecost was' considered by the Jews
as a festival commemorative of the
giving of the law at Mount Sinai. It
wan a fitting season, therefore, for
the bestowal of the Spirit on the as-
sembled body of Christians, showing
that Christianity was- the perfection
and completion of Judaisun.
Acts 2:1-11.—The first disei'ples
were. all with one accord in one place.
There was Cn:ity of spirit and visible
unity) to the would at large. -'3t was
the beglinning of the spiritual lin!g-
dom-of the Messiah, the Lord and
Ruler of the material universe, and
it should not be surprising that signs
and. wonders, even of a physical type
should accompany the scene: "And
stsdd'ehfy there • came a sound from
heaven as a rushing mighty wind;
and there appeared unto them• cloven
tongues as 'of 'fire." o At the very
inundation of the Church the sign of
the Holy Spirit's presence was a
tongue of fire. It was a most suit-
able emblem, pregnant with mean-
ing and indicative 'of the large place
which the human voice was td play
in. the work ,of the church. Prayer
and praise and preaching were to
be instruments, •under the guidance
of the Holy Spirit, in the spreading
of the Gospel.
Then Christ bestowed upon His
Apostles the power of speaking in
foreign languages, according. to His
promise recorded in St. Mark 16:17—
"They shall .speak with new tongues."
The ass'ennbled people were amazed as
they, heard these Galilean peasants
speaking in "our own tongue, where-
in we were born."
Then Peter preached, wi=thin a few
days of Christ's ascension, a sermon
setting forth Christ's life, teaching,
miraculous works, His crucifixion,
His ,resurrection and His ascension,
and the result was that manyre
pricked do thei.r'hearts and cried out,
Men and brethren, what shall we
de?"_ Peter, who only a few weeks
before had played the coward, now
pointed 'them to Jesus as their only
'hope for Salvation. Thus were fol-
fli1ed Christ's words to His disciples:
"Greater things than these shall ye
do, because 1 go to My Pathan"—
