Going_ Up The long, dry., hot spell is going to have an effect on prices. In' fact it - already has. Butter is Up; milk and cream and ,vegetables are looking that way. Often an excuse is as good a- rea- son for a' rise In prices as anything else. But if the present weather coltinues much . longer, there will be no need' of excuses. The reason will 'be quite apparent; and that reason will be a scarcity of "produce. Already many , farmers are feed- ing their dairy cows in the barn, or supplementing the pastures by draw- ing hay to them. Spring grains, like barley, are not filling, and oats are worse: Roots are at a stand still; early potatoes have dried up and later ones are going back. Cherries, rasp'ber- ---ries and other small -fruits are not . a.. crop at' all. Even vegeta'bl'es " are making no progress and merchants are report- ing a scarcity of all kinds. Streams and creeks and even the wells are drying ::up in many sections. The -prospect is not a cheering one. There' was an 'excellent ha,y crop, but there would need to be, if farm- ,ers have to start feeding it in the middle of July. Wheat is good, but' there is not much grown now. It can not take the place of spring grains and roots. So far the cool nights have saved the, situation to a certain extent, but we need rain and we need it badly. Even rain, if it came now, would b& - too late to save some crops, but en- ough of it wouldbring back the pas- tures and -save the feed. -.. Living costs are going up' now. Without immediate rain they are go- ing higher. If the heat and drought continue, there will be .more than a scarcity of some things next winter.. There will be .a famine. And every- thing else will be up in price. Away up. To the householder and the family man, the immediate prospect is one to be viewed with misgiving, but don't forget we have been promised both a' seed time and a harvest. We have had the one; we will get the other. At least it always has been that way in Huron anyway. • Main Street Parking , At the last meeting of the Seaforth council notice of motion was given that at the August meeting a motion would be introduced to amend -t}e' Main Street parking by-law, chang-y ing the system from central. parking to angle parking on both sides of the street. We understand that Mitchell and Seeaforttl are the only two towns in Ontario 'where central parking is in force. In Mitchell, where the Main Street is half as, wide again'- as in Seaforth, central parking may work to `advantage, or to no great disad- - vantage to the travelling public. In Seaforth, however, the situation is otherwise, and very much so. Just w`ly central parking in Seaforth was adopted in the first place, it is very hard to say. Certainly it showed' Very little foresight on the part of the authorities'at that tinge, and since hell the th:e. inconvenience and danger parking system have multi- ' ulti- + t the in'ti'dn of central $1; Pe`I t ItIs idfi n U d 4 P FmX ' r t r 4 [ f yr j P e h Yl N,t d �Y t .�w.�n...afal4 �,..l.nt;,<ia iSa..7: uuAta�..d.t,n_.wY�M:.. R•.➢a6t. > Ye parkinig was, it has worked out ' from the first to mean three lines of parkked ears on Main Street, instead of .-one or -two. -fit--h meant -that peopleleaving their parked cars have to step into the face of traffic to reach the stores on "either side of the street. In fact, in recent years, •particu- larly on a Saturday night, it has 'be- come very difficult, if not impossible, to reach the sidewalk's at all, because the cars are parked so closely one behind the other along the curbs. Cars are not all the same size nor the same length and all motorists are not just as particular as they might be when parking in the centre of the street. The result is that the line of cars facing either lanes of traffic resemble more a rail fence than anything "else. This rail -fence line, with cars parked solidly at the curb so reduces the width, of the traffic lanes that progress is exceedingly slow and many times on a Saturday night it comes to a full and prolonged stop. With traffic in such a tangle, it has , not been the skill of the drivers, nor yet the • watchfulness of • the pedes- trians, that have prevented serious accidents. It has simply been the grace of Providence. The claim that Main Street is not wide enough for angle parking on the side, will not hold, because there cannot be less room f or through traffic be- P.tween two lines of cars, than there is now with three such lines of cars. With angle parking on the sides, the approach to business places would be much' more easy, to accom- plishit,. and it would be much safer. Other Ontario towns with similar Main Streets " and even narrower ones, learned this truth long ago, and we are glad that our council has at least seen the light and will take steps to remedy a condition that has become intolerable, and a menace to public safety.

Premier Bracken has drawn first blood, his follower, Mr. S. S. Garson, Liberal -Progressive" member in l the • last House, having been elected by acclamation in the constituency of Fairford. The.Manitoba;fuse consists of fifty-five member fty-two of whom will be elected on Monday. Two of the constituencies will hold deferred elections, ' which will be held on August 21st. These are The Pass, represented in the last Legislature by Premier Bracken; and Rupert's Land, whose sitting member is Hon. E. A. McPherson, Provincial Treas- urer. For the other seats the Liberal- .Progressives, under Premier Brack- en, nominated 47 candidates; the Conservatives, under the leadership of Errick P. Willis,_ nominated 37; C.C.F., 19; Social Credit, 20; Com- munist, 2; Independents and others, 5. In twenty-one cpnstituencies there will be straight fights between. two candidates.

LESSON FOR JULY .26, 1936 Lesson Topic—Christialdty, Spread by - Persecution. Lesson Passage --Acts 7:59-8:4; 1 •Peter 4:12-19. Golden Text—Revelation 2:10. In the 'first part of to -day's lesson. we . are introduced to Saul. Stephen we have met before. He was one o'f the seven mien chosen as deacons and he at that time was described as "a man full of faith and the Holy Ghost." He, later .on, did great won- ders and miracles among the pepp'le•. This brought him into public notice, se that he was eventually ?brought heftore the council, accused of blas- phemy.. ',Being allowed to speak fey" himself- he reviewed the :history of God's chosen !people yup to the .titrate of. C'lirist''s ''coming, His. betrayal and death. Them he became personal and ad'dres'sed them thus: "Ye stiff -peck- ed and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do 'always resist, the -Holy Ghost: As your fathers, did, so do Dia" \ Th'i,s, f;�o p nij4ged .}'hemi that they cast him tout 'of the city and stoned him to 'death. tb'oking on and `'perhaps. acting as an instigator was'a young :man—tSaail —a pupil of 'Gamealiel, one of the leading members of the Sanhedrin. No doubt it was from him, who in after years was St., Paul with 'whom Luke ass'ociat'ed,. that this detailed account of Stephen's martyrdoms was received. The .very look on Steph- en's face as he prayed for his mur- derers must have 'been burned into his 'membry. It caused him at the time, however, tba burr with hatred to the sect of the :N•azarenes, for we reed': "As for Saul, he made 'havoc of the :church, entering 'into every house and, haling mien and women, eo'mnni'itted them to 'prison," St. Au- gustine said ;If IShelph'e'n had not pray- ed the :Clhurcih would not have had St. Paul. 'The result Of Stephen's m:artyr- dom was to i•end!er the •Church's state at J'e'rusalem, worse for the time. 'Fhe 'nriem!bers of the church were sca't- tered' 'fair and wide, all except the Apostles. One miig-ht have expected that they would have •'been specially tsou'ghk after; and would , have been neoesseritl'y the fi•rs't to' dee. There tis an 'early tradition, however, 'which goes back to the second century, that our 'Lord 'order'ed:- the Apostles to remain 'in•• the city of Jerusalem for twelve yeaers after 't'h'e 'Aecantsion, in Order that everyone there might have an ,opportunity of hearing the truthe.

The ,feeling of their ;persecutors was 'so strong that they were minded to slay them, but upon further thought they only beat there and let them go. "And they departed from the pres- ence of the council, rejoicing . that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name." So St. Peter .co•unsels those' to whom he addressed his epistles ,to rejoice as they had When ca1'led upon to endure 'hardships and great'"suf£ering. In our day suf- fering such as theirs is no more laid upon us in ci+Vlilize'd 'c!ountries, but for all that the reproach of Christ has not •ceased'. Among the unbeliev- ing there are keen eyes s'ti'll which gladly mark the slips and sttumblin'gs •of •!professing 'Christians; and throw the shame of these upon. the whole church membership. "If a man suf- fer as a !Christian, let'him not be ashamed, hint let him glorify ''God in this name."

The test of the faithful is his perfect trust as seen ,intthe . reply of. Job' to his' advisers: "Though He slay Me, yet: will 1 trust n Him" (Job 13:15).
