Winter Is Here Again
The grass is withered and brown;
the trees are stark and bare of
leaves, and snow covers the ground
as far as one can see. Winter is
here again.
These signs may be lacking in the
cities, but we live in the country.
And, having always lived in the
country, we know winter when we
see it.
Yes, winter is here, and we are
not a bit enthusiastic about it either,
•because it was only in the end of
May or first of June last that she
packed her chilly belongings and
bade us a reluctant farewell.
We have scarcely had time to miss
her until she comes romping back
again. Weather prophets may cheer
us with their predictions of,a warm
and open winter, and others chill us
with their predictions of the other
kind, but winter never tells about
her plans.
She 'just comes and goes at her
own sweet will, and while she is
here, we just have to put up with
her. She was never known to take
- hint, a nod or a nudge that her
visit was a little early or a little pro-
longed, and she never will.
So we will just have to put up
with her and piously hope that her
visit this year will not be unduly pro-
longed. That she will act like the
staid old lady she is. That she will
not want to go gadding about, drop-
ping the contents of her hand bags,
of snow and kicking them about
with her feet.
But we will just have to take her
as we find her. For as present-day
youth would say, Madam Winter is
a tough old bird, as well as a wilful
old lady., • Like the grandmother§ of
to -day, she doesn't look her age, or
act it either.
• After all, there is so much that is
likeable, even lovable, about this old
lady when she is good. But when
she is bad, she, is horrid.

Sam McBride Is Dead
• Mayor Sam McBride, of Toronto,
died at his home on Saturday. in his
seventieth year. And he died fight-
ing right up to the end.
For a quarter of a century and
more, Sam McBride has been a col-
orful figure in municipal politics' in
Toronto. Few men knew more of
the political history of the city than
he. Few added more to it.
During the whole of his long mun-
icipal career, he was known as a
doughty fighter. Not always right,
but fewer times wrong, the causes
he espoused he fought for with all
his. might in language that was
forceful and picturesque.
But even his opponents said he
was a clean fighter, ancrall admit he
had a comprehensive grasp of mun-
icipal affairs and, was a truly public
spirited citizen:
Nor was his fame confined to To-
ronto. His name was almost a house-
hold word in Western Ontario where
he had many friends.
He was three times Mayor of To-
ronto and is the first Mayor in the
of the city to die in harness.

• Still War In Ethiopia
" A good many people have been un-
der the impression that the Ethio-
pian war' was a matter of history.
Having heard Mussolini's account of
the affair and of his proclamation
making the King of Italy Emperor
of that country, as well as having
seen pictures of the victorious Italian
troops returning home after the con-
quest, they naturally- thought the
game was ,in Mussolini's _bag, and
the war was a thing of the past.
• That, however, ,appears to have
been a very erroneous impression
because we learn this week that the
Italian troops are on the march
again in Ethiopia. That the war
has been held up by the rainy season
in that coantry, and that the terri-
tory yet to be conquered is •one-
fourth of the whole.
Further we learn that this still un-
conquered part of Ethiopia is not
only the most fertile and well -water-
ed part of the country, but is rich
in minerals. as well, and that the
Ethiopians ,.defending it are well
equipped with machine guns, Mod-
ern artillery, anti-aircraft and anti-
tankguns
That being the case, we, in all
probability, have still much to hear
_about the Ethiopian war before the
year is out.

• WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
The Extra Meal
(Halifax Chronicle)
It is the conomon. practice in Britain to have
at least one more Meal than' the average Cana-
dian household. There is, of course, breakfast
and midday meal, then tea at five or thereabouts
and supper at eight. In many business offices
there is the cup of tea in the sours.e of the after-
noon. A good deal of good natured fun has been
poked at thesecustoms one way or another on
this side of the ocean, but once more. the old
adage comes to the fore, he laughs best ' who
laughs last, fOr it is being discovered that the
ancient custom hasmore wisdom than absurdity
in it. After exhaustive experiment it has been
found by American research that more meals
are beneficial, that a light meal removes fatigue,
and that better. work is done as a result. The
medical profession found that also with regard
to the British office cup of tea.
The New Styles in Women's Hats
(Kitchener Record).
' The time seems to have come for S serious,
heart-to-heart talk about the feathers on wo-
men's Eats.
. Some women look vela- elegant in them and
some, alas, look like- neelsing human; end( the
harassed male, once again', gets a chance to an-
nounce that ' there is' somethirig fundamentally
wrong with a sex that periodically goes in for
such irrational adornments.
For it does come in waves. Every, so often
some natural saw or other makes it necessary for
women to adopt a bet style that is just natural-
ly gosh -awful, and •we seem to be on the verge
of one of those periods right now.
There is nothing for it, probably, but to live in,
hope for the best. and wait until the hatters de-
cide td let up on us again.
Do you ever get out the family photograph
albums and take a look at the snapshots' of 1910
which •show mother moving about uneasily
neath a say-scraaing concoction of feathers,
flowers and preserved fruit? Or do you, by any
chance, recall the era of the Merry Widow?
But if you do remember these things, and are
a man, you Might do well to pause and reflect
before announcing that women' have a monopoly
on odd styles..
Dig out that family album once more and
study the hats you yourself wore back in the
far-off .pre-war days. Remember them—those flat
crowned, narrow-brimtnedthings that tried to
make saber men of affairs look like innocent lads
on the way to Sunday Sohool?
And do you remember the collars that were
in vogue at that time—these three-inoh-tall things
that looked awful, felt aivfill and were well-nigh
impossible to fasten?
And how about the rest of the outfit meli used
to wear? Surely you •can remember the era of
peg -topped trousers, when the male form was
ennobled by pants that were 18 inches too Wide
across the hips and six inches too short at the
ankle? And the buttoned shoes with fatty tum-
ors on the top of the t4s? And, heaven help us,
the floppy sailor -style breeches, of post-war
years?
The male has scant reason to point the finger
s of pawn. He togs himself out in same pretty
weird dude now and then. If women follow queer
styleoccasionally, they at least never went in
for the fad of letting their socks flop down careleas's, around their• ankles.
• The truth seeras to be' that these changing
Styles Victimize us all. We are not the rugged
Individtiais we like to imagine atitselves!
Instead, male arid female alike, we are regi-
ittented within an /belt of Mit lives by the stylists

S, S. LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 22
Lesson Tbpic—An Ambassador in
Chairs.
Lesson Passage—Acts 28:16-24, 30, 31;
Romans 5:6-11.
Golden Text—Philippians 4:13.
Paul, having appealed to the Em-
peror Nero, was sent under the guard
of one named Julius and, after suf-
fering shipwreck ' and other tribula-
tions, was delivered into the hands of
the Romps. He was treated with
much consideration, being allowed to
• dwell in his own hired Louse, guard-
ed by'a soldier—a prisoner in bonds
—"for the hope of Israel I am bound
with this cabin," was his own way of
speaking of his ,corsclition, St. Paul
was for five years a prisoner from the
day of arrest in Jerusalem till his re-
lease by the decision of Nero, .Dur-
ing that time he was cut off from
many of those various activities in
which he had previously labored, so
profitably for God's cause. That must
have seemed to himself and to many
others a terrible loss to' the gospel.
However, he made hi S imprisonment
an 'opportunity for preaching as occa-
sion either arose or was 'made., to
rise. On the third day after his ar-
rival he caned- the chief of the Jews
together and addreSieed them, explain-
ing his presence among them as a
prisoner. Haying heard him they an-
swered, "Weaneither received letters
out of Judaea concerning thee, neither
any of the brethren that came show-
ed er spate any harm of thee" They
went further ,and expressed 'a wish to
hear about the sect that everywhere
was spoken against. Thus did an op-
portunity come to him to preach and
testify and "some believed and some
did not." For two years he contin-
ued thus to proclaim the kingdom of
God and to teach those things which
concern the Lord Jesus Christ.
Dr. G. T. Stokes in The Expositor's
Bible says of St. Paul's imprisonment:
Let us then see In what way we may
regard St. P-aulatampoisonment as an
arrangement and outcome of Divine
love. This period of enforced retire-
ment may have been absolutely nec-
essary for .him. He had, spent long
years building up the spiritual life of
others, founding churches, teaching
corvverts, breaching, debating, strug-
gling, suffering. Now God took St.
Paul aside that he might watch over
and tend his own spiritual life. And
the wondrous manner in which he
profited by •his imprisonment is mani-
fest from the letters which, in his
leisure time, he wrote to Ephesus.,
Pbilippi and Coloasae and which have
been so instructive and useful for the
Church of all ages. Then, too, though
unable to preach to crowded audiences
in synagOgnes as 'he had done else-
wheree he blessed the Church of
Rome by his individual efforts. The
soldiers who were his keepers were
told the story of the Cross,- and the
_glad tidings of...the. resurrealon life,.
and these individual efforts penetrat-
ed even into the household and pal-
ace of the Caesars,.

Ottawa, On Nov. 14, 1936.
The Editor, The Enron Expositor:
pear Sir: 1 have' read with interest
the letter of Mr. Wt. A. Patrick in
your Issue of November 13th. Mr.
Patrick and I are almost in complete
accord, so far as our views are oaa-
cerned. 1 are therefore somewhat'sur-
'prised; to find that he writes in . a
tone which 'expresses the idea that
he does not like me.
There' is no question about the as -
sortie's that the assue of currency
arises out of debts,. The function, or
a bank 1st to monetize exerting wealth.
Mt. Patrick or myself have acquired
certain forms of persanal wealth or
evidence, of the debts of others to us;
we go to the bank,and on the
strength of what we possess borrow'
Money, that is the means we use for
,putting into an, exchangeable form the
evidences of wealth whiah we possess.
That is all that is meant when we
say that Money arises out of debts.
Mr. Patrick questions how we are.
to .pay our debts. He asserts that
money during the past few years has
been borrowed' by governments. That
is all true. We shall begin to pay
our debts when the borrowing is done
by the people,, when governments
balance their budgets.
This can only be done when we re-
move the obstructions which stand in
the way of trade. It can be done
when governments get out of the
road and cease interfering with the
business of the people.
The failure of the previous govern-
ment was that it 'did nothing else but
get in the way. In other words, it
stifled business and restricted normal
development.
Mr. Patrick seems to take excep-
tion to my statement that it is fool-
ish to blame particular parties. That
applies only in the broad and general
sense, all parties and all people are
to blame far the mistakes that have
been made—it is the people who elect
the governments. As for booms and,
depressions, we shall continue to have
them as long as government inter-
ference is thenconstant conduct of
the day, and I imagine that Mr.
Patrick would be one of the first to
urge government interference as a
remedy for the difficulties which we
face.

WORLD MISSIONS •
Scots Seek Revival
"There are many signs that there
is a widespread longing for 'a. deep-
ening of spiritual life in Scotland,"
says an editorial in the lQuarterly Re-
cord of the National Bible Society.
Voices are raised in abhorrence of
the worldin.ess •manifestecl. The rage
for gambling, disrespect - for the
Lord's Day, excessive devotion to
pleasure, and diminielaing interest in
chetah services are • some of the sins
that are dawning upon the Christian
consciences of the people.
Commenting on a recent visit to
Scotlan,d, Dr. G. G. Inkster .declared
that representatives of the'ohurch in
Scotland were facing the future with
courage and vigor. Like the Apostle
Paul, they are able to say: "We are
troubled on every side, yet not dis-
tressed; we are perplexed, but not in
deepait; persecuted, but Rot for-
saken. . ." (Corinthilan.s 4:8-9).
While recognizing the growing world-
liness' and indifference to the things
of the Gospel, the organized church
is neither despairing nee doubtful of
the power of, the Gospel unto salva-
tion. With this conviction deepening,
efforts are being made. to strengthen
the forces which are seeking. the real
evangelism of Scotland.. The Nation-
al Bible Society is anxious no help

pared to supply gospels free of charge.

The Same Yesterday, To -day
ever
The ceaseless talk about the Gospel
of the Son! of God having lost its ap-
peal is without ggunclation. The Gos-
pel is still 'the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believes,"
and when it is preached in faith it
brings about the same transforuia-
teens that have always followed when
Christ has been preached:
Commenting on the power and suc-
cess of Gipsy Smith, whose diamond
jubilee was celebrated in We-lama's-
ster Central Hallo with an audience
that taxed the building to the utmost,

New Churn Installed in Creamery
A new ,churn, has been installed at
the Brussels Creamery during the
past week. This adequate machine
has a capacity of 1,200 pounds. A
larger one than formerly used makes
it possible to turn out more butter.
The factory is now equipped to pas-
teurize 4,400 pounds .'af cream, and a
yearly output of 300,000 pounds of
butter.. Since taking over the create-
ery, in 1934, F. M. Samis, has enlarged
the business considerably. As a fac-
tory' of this kind in a town means
considerable to both the town, and.
surrounding dristrict in general, it
warrants continued patronage. There
are six trucks on the road in connec-
tion with the business. — Brussels
