Marys dis­ trict farmer, who was gored by a bull on his father’s farm, is now re­ ported to be showing decided im­ provement. His back was terribly crushed and for days little hope of his recovery was held, but since he has shown gradual improvement. MRS. PEARL WILSON The death of Pearl Page, wife James R.

Golden Text 'Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be alarmed, riglitly dividing the word of truth.—2 Tim. 2:15. , » To good eral common mistakes. One of these mistakes is that real brains or intellect cannot go along with whole-hearted Christian faith. Another, that religious education is all that is needed to build true character. Another, that intellectual training in the best universities will insure true character. And another, that a “man of the world,” in the best sense of the word could never be satisfied with the old- fashioned Gospel. Let us keep these points in mind as we get the facts of Paul'S life training and earlier and later exper­ iences. His name was originally Saul, and he was born and brought up in the City of Tarus, in the Roman Prov­ ince of Cilicia which is northwest of Syria, in what today we call Asia Minor. Contemporary writers say that Tarhs was one of the leading cities in philosophy and education The youhg Saul grew up in this at­ mosphere of culture, took full ad vantage of the educational facilities of the city, ahd became one of the best educated men of his time. In after life he became a much tra veled man, making extensive jour­ neys through the Roman Empire, and his early educational advantages gave him a quick point of contact with the best types of people that he met. When, for example, he visit­ ed Athens and was asked to mak‘& his address on Mars Hill, he showed his familiarity with the classical lit­ erature of Greece, and quoted read­ ily from the Greek poets. study the life of Paul gives a opportunity for correcting sev- On the side of distinctively relig­ ious education Paul had the best that his day could offer—and that was saying much. He was born and trained a Jew, in the strict atmos­ phere of an orthodox Jewish home. He says of himself that he was “of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the He­ brews; as touching the law, a Phar­ isee.” And then lie adds: “Touch­ ing the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.” In other words the young Hebrew did not merely accept his proud Jewish ancestry, and study his religion, and then Ig­ nore all that he had learned and professed; he really lived according to his training and profession. He ; kept the law of God—so far as his outward life and actions were con- , cerned. His religious training received its finishing touches through the in­ struction of one of the famous Jew­ ish teachers and leaders of that day 1 a member of the Sandhedrin, Gamal- . ,iel. When Paul was defending him- . self from persecution in Jerusalem year later he called attention to the fact that he was not only a Jew and a citizen of Tarus, but also that he ■ had been “brought up in this city (Jerusalem) at the feet of Gamaliel and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers.” He had something more. Years later, on one occasion, ‘in his pic­ turesque and dangerously adventur­ ous career, Paul was arrested by a Roan chief captain, who was about to scourge him belfore submitting him to legal trial. A centuirian of the Roman captain cautioned him saying: “Take heed what thou do- est, for this man is a. Roman.” The officer went to Paul with consider­ able respect, asking, “Tell me, art thou a. Roman?” When Paul answer­ ed. “Yea,” the Roman officer said “With a great sum obtained I this freedom.” And Paul amazed him by replying, “But I was born free.” A free-lance Roman citizen occup­ ied the most honorable of places in the Roman Empire. This citizenship could be purchased with money, but it was a costly transaction. Paul’s father had evidently been, given his Roman citizenship, which was con­ ferred upon individuals for some special service to the State, and thus Paul had inherited his Roman citizenhsip as a right by birth. Moreover, ,Saul had a good repu­ tation among his fellow-men. He did not hesitate to call attention to this when such testimony was needed; before the Roman King, Agrippa, he spoke of “my manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among my own nation at Jerusalem, as something known to all the and he confidently affirmed they would testify that he had as a strict, law-abiding Jew. But, with all these advantages Saul’s life up to probably middle age was a tragic, shameful failure. He knew his Bible, the Old Testament as few men knew it. He knew God’s law. He lived a. scrupulous, moral honorable and religious life. But he was fighting God: and he actual­ ly hounded to death as many true Christian followers of the Lord as he could lay hands on. Now, the Old Testament is filled with prophecies of the coming of Is­ rael’s Messiah, and those prophecies were fulfilled to the letter in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Why, then, did not Saul recognize his Messiah when He came? The answer is inescapable, in view of what the Bible teaches and Chris­ tian history proves. Saul knew God's law and the Bible only with his head, not his heart. iHe had not really yielded his heart to God, nor did he really love or truly worship the God of Israel. If he had, he would have recognized Jesus as the Son of God long before he did; and the Lord would to him, “Saul, thou Me? . . . -to kick against Not only was to Paul when he received Christ as his Saviour and Lord and as Israel’s Messiah, but his very heart and life and character were miraculously changed. We shall see this our three months’ study. When Paul becomes a new Christ, God made full use early education, his brilliant intel­ lectual training, his remarkable brains, and even his religious train­ ing. Paul ranked second to none in intellectual power: but he did not find that this interfered at all with a humble-hearted belief in Christ as his Saviour. Brains and belief can go together ahd it is an undeniable fact of pres­ ent-day life that, in the case of many brilliant individuals, they do go to­ gether, EDITORIAL Keep the apples in a cool place until the snow flies. •• •••• •• • It’s a poor policy to feed cat and then to catch one’s own mice.J •* *•• •* • Hats off to farmers who have learned the lessons of the fall fairs! t * * ♦ z ♦ * * * * Potato digging is proving that the crop is light but that the quality is excellent. • •••»*• * A good man doesn’t spend much time in mere talking.

Many of these youth have failed to find jobs for the last few years and are now back to school. In this but deferring the evil day? Unfortunately most youths who are kept in white collar'jobs till they are 20 years of age are likely to look for soft fingered jobs for the rest of their natural lives. ******** And how fine the fall wheat is looking! Farmers who visited their fall sowing after the recent showers fount! that the wheat thai had not germinated till the advent of the showers was getting down to business. It was further observed that only th$ fields sown to wheat were doing much in the line of getting ready for next year’s crop. ******** Those strikes puzzle us. Many employers tell us that their financial margin is so narrow that it is at the vanishing point, Employees tell us that their wages keep them near the starvation point. Both employers and employees state the truth, in the great majority of cases at least. And that’s the terror of the situation. Sometimes competition is the life of trade. Very often it cuts the throat of prosperity. ******** A LOST ART iSaid a business man whose firm had weathered the stress of the ;past four years, “I find that salesmanship is a lost art. Very few ■of our clerks study how to interest folk in goods. When we get a real salesman we go to the limit to make him a part of our firm.” There’s something suggstive in the foregoing remark. * * * * * ^ * * * And now for the usual rush of fall fires. There’s nothing mys­ terious about most of these conflagrations. Lots and lots of people simply stuff the furnace full of old papers and such highly combustible rubbish, wait for a cool day in the fall, set a match to the fuel and away goes the whole outfit. Then the fire insur­ ance people look over the smoking ruins, drop a tear or two and order the careful goers to pay the bill. We know of a district where fires were stopped by a board of directors cutting the insur­ ance policies in two. Queer, wasn’t it? ******** A GODSEND - We were driving past a recreation ground the other evening when our companion remarked, “A young fellow told me that he did not know what would have become of him and a few of his -chums had not the municipality kept that ground open and provid­ ed facilities for games. He went on to tell me that the games kept him fit physically till he secured a job.” And there you are. That playground saved the situation for a good many who needed some form of mental stimulus and some form of regular bodily exercise till work days come again. The same may be said of many a public library that provided whole­ some literature that folks cared to read. About the last place for retrenchment these days is skimping places of real recreation, either mental or physical recreation. The great consideration is not to have such places too tony for the average youth out of work or too highbrow to interest the young fellow who is not quite equal to technical reading. ***•*••• HOW IT WORKED OUT. We heard a friend telling his experience while in England: One morning while at the breakfast table he commented on the- quality of the bread used for toast, as the bread was sticky and pasty gen- erally. “What's the matter with the bread?” he inquired. “There’s nothing the matter with the bread.” was the reply. “We’re using bread from wheat grown in England. We’re keeping our money in our own country by buying flour made from English wheat.” And there’s a suggestive conversation. “Buy British!” was the slogan tover there and by buying British England is where she Is to-day. In 1928 and 1929 England admitted that the sledding was pretty hard, very hard, indeed. She made no bluff about it. By far the great majority of the rest of the world found the sledding as hard aS England found it. Instead, however, of admitting the fact they put up a bold front and swaggered as much as ever. Well, England is getting out of the slough which is a great deal more than the majority of the rest of the world can say. Talk is cheap, but success conies only at the cost of sacrifice, severe effort and self-denial. Here is still another illustration. Place and date can be given A firm had a suite of offices rented for $50,000 per annum. Fur­ nishings and other appointments were there to match the rent. The whole office staff was a dress parade. Well, the firm has made an assignment. The debts are enormous and the firm is so poor that no one does It reverence. English firms are not of that soft. They demand results, not hot air and froth and bubbles and millinery. Hoeing one’s row, digging one’s garden, plowing one’s fields and sowing good seed, buying carefully, considering the last one hundredth part of the cent, doing one’s best to have his goods properly advertised may not be as picturesque as sky-rocketing and having one’s features in the colored papers at so much per inch of space, but it is the way to prosperity.

Miss Hogarth presided during the Devotional period using hymns, “A better day is coming” and “Onward Christian Soldiers.” Prayers were offered by Mrs. Pearce and Mrs. Eeavers, Miss Hartnell and Miss Murray. The Scripture lesson was taken from God’s -command to Josh­ ua. “Be strong and of a good cour­ age.” Mrs. Pearce, the President, pre­ sided during the remainder of the meeting. On motion, Miss Hunter was appointed Supt. of the Depart­ ment of Non-alcoholic Fruit Pro­ ducts. Five dollars were decided to be given for prizes in each of the two departments, Scientific Temper­ ance Intruction in schools and colleges and the Temperance Study Course in Sunday Schools. Mrs. Beavers quoted from Dr. Withrow: “If you pin me down to one cause which sends people to jail perhaps more than any other 1 make bold to say ‘alcohol and drugs I shall place them together. Hun­ dreds of men and women are in our penitentaries because of crimes com­ mitted under the influence of that great destroyer of brain power, re­ sulting so often, if not always in temporary insanity.

Need I suggest that a society which traffics in alcohol for gain while hounding to their very doors the devotees of drugs and then provides in increasing numbers cells for criminals has very much tc learn. The -Clip Sheet Public Opinion was read. It was shown, though very large majorities had been poll­ ed in favour of prohibtion at differ­ ent times both in Ontario and the Dominion, that the government hao decided that the expression of pub­ lic opinion as recorded at the polls in favour of prohibition did not rep­ resent such a proportion of the elec­ torate as to justify the introduction of a prohibitory measure. In the vote taken in Ontario in 1894 not more than fifty-five per cent voted and in 1898 when a Dominion wide plebescite was taken only forty Sour percent of the elctorate voted. What we seem to need in Canada is more knowledge and a greater sense of our individual responsibility. It is doubtful what the result would be now if a plebiscite were taken. That racial ideals of our New Canadian from Central Europe ac­ customed to the use of lighter wines in their homeland would work against Prohibition. Then the Wei- Press, supported by a wealthy or­ ganized liquor traffic and money speaks has proved a powerful force against Prohibition, though, quoting from Dr. Mary Harris Armour, “No one will believe the wet propaganda unless he be a propagoose.” Many do believe it and have believed it and our war-time Prohibition van­ ished before propaganda, false but powerful, Then the Revenue which is derived from the traffic in­ fluences many in favour of the traf­ fic. Perhaps the strongest of all is social custom which is fast becom­ ing more powerful and subtle, Hard times may prove a blessing to some if it opens their eyes to the waste and bondage of the social glass. MARKET SQUARE St. Marys have provided a place for the use of farmers and vegetable growers to dispose of their produce and have warned motorists not to park there. , PRESENTATION Miss Edith Tremble has resigned from the staff of Maxwell’s Limited St. Marys, and is succeeded by Miss Audrey Paul. The office staff pre­ sented Miss Tremble with a beautiful silver tea service. FARMER AND HELPER INJURED Mr. Oscar Bennett, near St. Marys had a bad fall from an apple tree in his orchard. He fell about fifteen feet lighting on his back and strain­ ing the ligaments of his shoulders and neck. Two days later, his hired man, Raymond Dillon, had a similiar accident falling out of a tree and broke his leg. ST. MARYS TO VOTE ON GRANTING GAS FRANCHISE -St. Marys' citizens will probably have the opportunity of voting for or against a by-law designed to permit Leo. A. Wilson and the Sarnia Na­ tural Gas Company to pipe and sell natural gas in the town. The vote will probably be taken early in De­ cember, when the annual municipal election takes place. AHEARN—CRONYN St. Peters R.
