UNFAIR TO INDIVIDUALS
• (St Marys Journal Argus)
In response to an overwhelming petition of ratepayers, London
Township Council released its claim against two citizens who had
bonded their defaulting tax collector. Township councils should
secure their bonds from regular bonding companies which provide
their service for a small fee and keep in touch with the township
finances, thus guarding against misuse of the municipal funds. If
is not fair to an individual citizen to ask him to risk his farm
by going security for a pubic official.
We have only one comment to make on the foregoing. Every
word of it smacks of sound sense.
We have this to say, however. The private individual who
does this sort of thing takes a risk that is altogether needless. In
fact when one is tempted to take a step so foolish as to become
bondsman even for King Billy, he should see a. doctor and have his
head examined. We have watched this sort of thing f-or some time
and our experience lias been to the effect that the bondsman or the
note backer is very likely to be left holding the hag. The man so
often spoken of as being “all right” often turns out to be “all
wrong.” When Township Councils become responsible tor the
conduct of their officials things will be better.

THOSE MOUNTIES
Recently the Mounties have rounded up one of the largest and
worst smuggling gangs this country ever has known. This bit of
work1 is highly creditable. However the Mounties are not boasting.
They are hot-foot on the trail of other law-breakers.
And here is a bit of interesting information regarding this
■fine body of men, possibly the best disciplined body of men in the
world barring none, none in 'Canada or the United States to isay the
least. -One of them said to the writer only a. little ■while ago. “We
never talk. If a M'Ounty talks he’s not one of us. We must have
men and .men only.” This mighty force runs neck and neck with
the best traditions of the British Navy when it comes to valour and
duty doing. When the day comes when these men are not ham
strung as they often are by higher-ups who never risked a single
hair in the enforcement of justice a better day will have come for
Canada.
Here is a story that is first hand and full of suggestion for
a certain class of people. We have it from one who has firsthand
knowlerge of all the circumstances:
A notorious rowdy who had beaten up all the other rowdies
of the county and who was never so happy as when fighting, was
heard to say that he would like to meet one of these Mounties. They
were nothing but dudes anyway who were but a bit of dust in a
real man’s hands. They lived on their reputation and travelled on
their shape. This wonderful fighter kept himself in trim by boast
ing and doing the fighting offering itself. At length he met a
number of congenial spirits and drank enough liquor to make him
ugly and subversive of the peace. The Mounty was sent. The of
ficer approached in his car with the eyewitness. Observations were
made and the officer quietly approached the rowdy and almost be
seechingly asked the peace breaker to “get into the car.” The reply
was a lightning-like blow that felled, the Mounty.
for a minute or so and got up, how The eyewitness cannot tell. In
stantly the rowdy was prostrate, motionless, apparently dead. His
head was bleeding terribly and his great limbs limp and useless.
The Mounty picked him up, bundled him into the car and drove to
the nearest’s doctor’s. In two and a half hours the man commenc
ed to regain consciousness. “What did you do to him?” the wit
ness asked. “I did what was .in the interest of the peace!” and the
Mounty turned to reading ads. in The Ladies Home Journal.

Two victories
The League of Nations is to be congratulated on scoring two
splendid victories. It will be remembered that after the Great War
the Saar Basin, so rich in minerals valuable to the manufacturers,
was left practically as neutral territory, subject to a vote of the
people of that region as to which country they were to unite after
a term of years had passed. 'The time for taking that vote will
arrive about the middle of January next. For some time Germany
has been casting eager eyes in that direction and it was seriously
believed that she was taking active measures to coerce the Saar
into voting herself according to the German pleasure. France, too,
was active and Europe feared that war would follow the active, ag
gressive measures of these mighty nations. However, the sober
sense of Europe had the matter referred to The League of Nations
idr arbitrament. The result is that all humanly possible is to be
done to see that the vote taken by the citizens of the Saar Basin
shall be taken without any undue influence being brought to bear
upon them. In any case, no matter how the votes are cast, neither
of the nations directly interested therein, is to suffer loss. Could
anything be finer? Reason has won once more. Hitler discovered
that the conscience of the world is force mightier than bayonets and
poison gas.
Next, the scene changes to Yugo-Slavia and Hungary. It will
be remembered that the King of Yugo-Slavia was only recently
most foully murdered when he was doing all that any man could
have done to preserve the peace of Europe and of the world. Yugo
slavia was cut to the very heart by this outrage and spared no ef
fort to trace the source of this venomous folly to its source. At
last she was convinced that Hungary had harboured the terrorists
whose bloody hand showed itself in the dastardly deed that shock
ed the world. Hungary was slow to move, of course she was. Yugo
slavia, hating war as she did, hated humiliation .and disgrace and
murder far more and moved her troops to the Hungarian border
to show the deadly earnestness that boiled in her breast. Hungary
moved to meet the challenger. War seemed inevitable. The blun
der of a hot blooded officer and the threatened war would have
thundered in every European capital.
Sober sense again prevailed. The whole appalling situation
was referred to The .League of Nations. The League refused to be
stampeded. It investigated, became informed and issued its find
ing. Hungary was tola to discover the terrorists and to hand them
to Yugo-Slavia for punishment. What could have been better?
Yugo-Slavia’s self-respect was honored before the world. Hungary
was given an opportunity for self-vindication. Terrorists were to
be routed out and punished condignly. All nations were told that
the reason and conscience of civilization would not tolerate, no not
for a moment, the work of assassins and murderers.

Glory to God in
on earth peace, good
men. (Luke 2:14.) s
God had a plan for the salvation
of the world before ever the world
was created. He had made His plans
for the redemption of lost sinners
before man was created or had sin
ned. The world and man were
•created at least 4,000 years before
the first Christmas Eve, so that for
more than 4,0OP years of human his
tory God had been looking forward
to the day of which we are now studying, for the consummation -of!
His loving and wonderful plan.
Paul writes about tills, that ‘when
the fulness of the time has come
God sent forth His Son? (Gal. 4:4.).
And the writer of the Epistle of
the Hebrews tells us that “now once
in the end of the world (or, consum
mation of the ages) hath I-Ie appear
ed tO' put away sin by the sacrifice
of Himself.” (Hebrews 9:12.)
If Christmas Day is a wonderful
day for us, we may be sure that it
is a much more wonderful day in
God's sight.
God directs and uses earthly kings
and rulers, whether they are con
scious of this or not. Caesar Augus
tus was one of the great monarchs
of the Roman Empire. He was reign
ing just at the time which God had
foreordained, 4,000 years earlier,
should be “the fulness of time” for
the earthly incarnation and ministry
of His Son. Mary, who was to be
the virgin mother of the Son of GOd,
lived with her husband Joseph in
the City of Nazareth, far to the north
of Bethlehem. And Bethlehem was
“the City of David,” in which God
had planned and and had revealed
in the Old Testament Scriptures,
that His Son should be born when
the time came. Seven centuries be
fore tho birth of Christ the prophet
■Micah predicted by divine inspira
tion: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephra-
tah, though thou be little among the
thousands of Judah, yet cut of thee
shall He come forth unto Me that is
to ruler in Israel; whose
forth have been from of old,
everlasting.” (Micah 5:2.)

of the babe Jesus? GOd saw

Results to date have more than justified the faith these expert mine makers had in this
district, and after careful inspection and examination, they expressed their faith in the
find making a mine, by staking hundreds of claims surrounding this spectacular discovery.
These finds all attracted prospectors and mining men to stake and develop these dis
tricts, and have all met with outstanding success.
