Employ- ers.are being urged to make use of these offices to secure aiiy help they ne.ed. Farmers, for example, who need hired filen should apply to the nearest office. There will be a Public . Employment Office ' in every town of 10,000 people—and wherever the need for one exists. There will be 60 different offices in all —one-half are already in opera t ion. (2) Employment Opportunities. The war held up much work that will now be carried on at. once. Public \v rky; shipbuild- ing, roadbuildillg, railway work -construction of bridges, im- provement of road -bed, snaking of new equipment--thesewill provide new oppnrl,unities for employment. In addition, the Government has sent a Trade Mission overseas to secure for Canada u. share its the business of providing ° materials and pro - duets required for reconstruc- tion work in Europe. It has also'' set aside the large sum of $25,000;000 to be loaned through the Provinces to encourage the building ° of workmen's houses. This will mean much new work in the spring. (8) Land and Loans for Soldiers To help soldiers become" far- mers the Governinent has de- veloped a programme that includes the providing of land, the granting of loans, and t he training and supervision (.f those inexperienced in farming. At present, the soldier is grant- ed, free; in addition to his or- dinaryhomestead right, one quarter -section of Dominion lands. He also receives a loan up to the maximum of $2,500. These original plans are now being broadened. If Parliament passes the new proposals' during this session, the Soldier Settle- ment Poard will, be able to buy suitable land and re -sell it n to the soldier at cost. Land up to the value of $5,000 may be bought by this be �lttn-�tl1E olio torepaid 1 „ money. 1> in 20 years. The low interest rate of 5 per cent. PitI be charged. - These new proposals will also permit the Soldier Settlement Board to loan the soldier -farmer up to $2,500 for purchasing equipment, etc., in addition to $5,000 loan on his farm. The Repatriation- Committee O'111A\VA .•M T ""11- W M4" M 'gl Te M ADVANCE AMO1 O 'itis C1IURCQQFS A Wllrghamite Visits Four of the Local Churches January 4th—the first Sabbath of 1919. My birthday, fifty -Aire year of age. The day, dear and cold. I made my way to the Methodist church, a beautiful building, large and comfortable. I entered at five minutes to eleven and the attendance then numbered about ten people. ' As the bell tolled elev- en,, the seats were, I should say, about one quarter occupied, but, as I did not count them, I cannot give exact numbers. The choir leader, Mr. Hill, was not present, and the choir, nine in all, took their places, some of whom would better have graced the empty seats down below. The Rev. Armstrong then mounted the pulpit, and the congregation rose with the choir to sing the Doxology. The Lord's Prayer was then repeated in unison, and. the opening hymn sung, The pastor then led in prayer, using language worthy of a more intellectual audience, T h e choir then sang • the usual anthem, followed by the reading alternately of the 147th Psalm and a portion of Luke's Gospel. The an- nouncements w er e given out and the hymn was then sung. Bev. Armstrong now announced h i s text, Luke 12th chapter, 18th verse, "I will pull down my barns and will build greater," Subject, "Building Greater." ,,The first remark made was that Destruc- tion nearly always precedes Construction, as has been seen in the past. Take for instance the War There had to be many sacrifices madam in property and lives be- fore the glorious advent o f democracy could be established. Autocracy had to be torn down. The sermon wa practical and well de- livered in a masterly way, but if one could find fault at all, it would be that it' was a little too materialistic, pertaining too much to the natural things The Spiritual was not emphasized enough, if I. might offer a friendly criticism. The offering was then taken, while the choir sang. (remaining seated). The song service seemed lacking, no doubt d u e somewhat to the absence of Mr • Hill. The ch.sing hymn being sung, the benedic- tion was announced, and the morning ser- vice came to a close. January 12th.—Beautiful morning, clear and cold. I Wended my way to the Pres- byterian church, arriving at ten minutes to eleven, only six people there at the time. Ten niinutes elapsed, and•one hun- dred people arrived, Mr. John McLean making the one hundredth. As I could'nt see How many were in the South gallery, I cannot give the exact number, but judg- ing from the number in the North gallery, only three, the congregation would num- ber between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and thirty. " Mr. Willis, the choir leader, then came in and took his seat at the sweet -toned organ. The music was charming and in- spiring throughout the service. The choir filed in, one man and ten ladies, followed by the Rev. David Perrie The Doxology was sung, "Praise waits for Thee in Zion,. Lord " This was followed, by a simple, earnest, helpful, inspiring prayer. The Children's Hymn, ' I will follow Him," was next sung, and a portion of the twen- ty-first chapter of St. John's Gospel then read The offering was taken up, the an- nouncements were given out, and another hymn sung The Rev. David Perrie then announced his text, John's Gospel, twenty-first chap- ter, twenty-second verse, "If I will that - he tarry till I come, what is that to thee; follow thou Me." Subject, "Following Jesus." The preacher went on to say tnat Jesus would hot unfold to Peter, John's future, as it did not concern Peter in any way, as much as to say,' Don°t be anxious about John, but follow Me " He then went on to speak of the mysterieus things in this life, things which we cannot ex- plain or understand, and are known only to Him. I n regard to Sin,- Why God bears with that in people and in nations. Even the Psalmist could not understand. And so God would have us not worry about the perplexing things in this, world, wnich He in His wisdom may hide' from us. But the command to follow Jesus is imperative if we would be His disciples— "Follow Thou Me." -The sermon was an earnest appeal to follow Jesus, in spite of What mysteries and perplexities may arise, for there always will be things in this life we cannot understand. I t was a Gospel sermorf; preached in a plain and unassuming man- ner, and was well received. I was delight- ed, with this service, The closing hymn was sung, the bene- diction pronounced, and I wended my way Lome. January 19th, Sunday morning. 1 wor- shipped with the Baptist people. At five minutes.xo eleven there were eight people there, and as the last bell tolled, forty had arrived. When all were gathered in, in eluding the choir which consisted of seven ladies and three men, the total number of worshippers was forty-five souls. The congregation arose and sang the Doxology. This was followed by a: brief introductory prayer, and then the opening hymn was sung. Following this the fifti- eth Psalm was read and part of t h e twelfth chapter of ,Exodus, ;the prayer was now offered, simple and fervent, alfud. ing to th .se that are in sorrow„ and be reavement. After this, three letters were read, one from Miss Jessie Wilson, one of the Red Cross Nurses in England. Dur- ing the reading of the annotaicerrrents, the choir sang a beautiful anthem. Succeeding this, the Rev. Mr. an announced his text—vie.. the first fourteen verses of the twelfth chapter of Exodus, Subject, t'The Passover." One of the re- marks was that Pharaoh in h i s pride wanted to have his way, and rebelled against God in not letting the children of Israel g0 out of Egypt, ase God bad conn Mended. So 'G o d hardened Pharaoh's heart. Pharaoh would not receive and belkrve the truth, therefore he had to be- lieve a lie. We cheese to be saved or lost; ver choses HL or ball. The preeeber than wont on to elly.—"utx- tiI'we tats wed atni lite it * brink, no matter what we may have accumulated, or what fame we may have gained. All is lost until we come to the Cross. It shall be the beginning of months unto us. Our lives are just starting when we are re' deemed, The main thought in the ser- mon was the Security or the Safety of those that were sheltered behind t h e Blood—"When I see the Mood I will pass over you." They were to kill the lamb and sprinkle the Blood on the lintel and doorposts Then they were to go in and shut the doors. That was their part, and they needed not to worry or be afraid, for God had spoken --'•When I see the. Blood I will pass over you " And so all who will now receive Jesus by faith, the Lamb of God, are saved and sheltered behind His precious Blood. and may enter into rest; for Jesus has made complete and full atonement! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Another thought was that if we pretend to join anything of our own doings, duties, desires, or works to Christ's finished work, we are guilty of unbelief and throw out the suspicion that Christ's redemption was not sufficient. thereby taking from Him the glory due His Dear Name 0 n e other thought --They were to eat the lamb roasted with unleavened bread. Leayen is a type of sin, so they were to put away anything that pertains to sin; and so Jesus came to save His people from their sins. If we would follow Jesus we roust put away the old leaven, sin, and feed upon Jesus, the Bread of Life. • The sermon was plain and very practical — a gospel sermon throughout, one easy to comprehend and retain, helpful to those seeking to live the Christian life. A short prayer was offered for a blessing upon the Word spoken. The closing hymn was then sung, the benediction pronoun- ced, and the morning service closed. - January 28th, Sunday morning.. At ten minutes to eleven I entered the Episcopal Church. Three persons only were present and at eleven o'clock thirty eight had arrived. The entire congregation number- ed .sixty five, including the choir which comprised eight young ladies and three boys. And now the sexton rings the old church bell, Mr. Christie plays a chant. and the choir file in, in pairs, singing as they come,. They are followed by the Rector Rev. Mr. Shell. 'The morning lessons and prayers -were then begun. Part of the 119th psalm was read. --And thus endeth the reading of the first lesson. The hymns were all new to me so I cadnot recall any of them, as I did not take notes. Another lesson was read and the morning prayers and lessons were ended. The hector ascended to the pulpit at one side of the church, and announced his text Acts, Chapter 9, Verse 6, "Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?" Subject "Saul's Conversion." The first remark made was that Saul believed that he was .Aleumatism Rheumatism has become so common nowadays that hundreds of people make no effort to rid themselves of its fatal grip, believing it to be incurable save in exceptional cases. No greater fallacy exists. Sufferers from rheumatism can be relieved if the cause`is--remedied and removed, Let us examine the facts. The direct canoe of rheumatism and kindred dis- eases is poisoning of the blood stream, through failure of the kidneys to filter and remove the impurities that are con- stantly collecting in the system. Once the kidneys are out of order, the trouble starts. The poison -ladened blood circulating through the system deposits its impurities in the muscles and joints, setting up infection, and Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, eta, follow. The first step necessary is to bring the kidneys to perform their natural function once again, and relief will be the immediate result. Gin Pilin will do it, and will save weeks of fearful suf- fering if taken at the first indications . of rheumatism. Gin Pills have been recognized as an assured relief tosufferersfrom rheuma- tism, backache, painful urination, brick dust deposits, and gravel.

Now while on that journey his thoughts were of Stephen whom he saw stoned to death saying, "Lord lay not this sin to their charge.'. How calm he was! But now, within- ten miles of Damascus, suddenly a light shone about him, and he fell to the earth, and he heard a voice saying, "Saul! Saul! why persecut- est thou Me?" And he said, "Who art Thou Lord?" He must have had some re- velation that he was in the presence and majesty of God, for he said, "Who art Thou Lord?" and the Lord said, "I am Jesus whom thou prosecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the good." And soevery finds isard. tSaul now way of cried the transgressor out, "Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?" He was now a willing .captive, -to do or be whatever the Lord wanted. One thought here was that to persecute a follower of Jesus, it is as if' we do it unto Him. The sermon was rather short but was well delivered, and the theme was good. The thoughts given out were in keeping with the text. Another hymn was sung. The choirod marched out singing as they went, awere followed by the Rector carrying the offering. The closing words were said and the congregation departed. So ended the morning service at this beautiful church. Now a few general remarks In the first place how,few were in the churches. All told, the number would not reach four hundred --one good congregation. The Methodists and Presbyterians each have a membership of more than that, and the churches can easily accommodate them Out of a population in town of twenty- four or`twenty-five hundred, not one-sixth of it attended church services, and more quite a: number come from the rural com- munities. No doubt the prevailing epi- demic the'1+1u' has something to do with the depletion in the number of church goers at the present time. Certainly not the weather. as it has been beautiful. Another thing I noticed is the difference in the customs of the choirs,—The Metho- dists and Baptists in ordinary dress, with hats and coats off, the Presbyterians in their black gowns and the Anglicans in their white surplices. • In conclusion I might say I enjoyed all the services very much. • J. A, Markham Votes For Hydro With only one dissenting vote, the by- law to provide•for the extension of the Hydro -electric power line from Agincourt was passed on February, 24th. Nearly half the possible vote was polled and when the ballots were counted, out of 108 Votes, 107 were in favor of the by-law. At present Markham village has a pow- er plant of its own, which provides more than twice the required power, but slily gives a five-hour service. The vote to- day clearly showed that the people were anxious for a 24-hour service. Difficulty in securing coal made it hard to continue running the town plant during the past two winters. Work on the new line will start, it is expected, in the spring. It will come from Aginruurt via the Kennedy road, and ow through Milliken, Hagerman grid tlnlo futile.
