HISTORY DOES REPEAT of Importance TESTS OF A CHRISTIAN •I ’John 5:l-il2, Golden, Text Whosoever believeth 'that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and every one that loveth Him that begat 'lov­ eth Him also that is begotten of Him (I John 5.1.) The Christian must face tests of his Christianity. He must expect to be asked, and he will have to prove, that Christianity is piracticial, not merely a theory. Also that it has enduring qualities, that it will last. There is a book, with "Christianity Is Christ.” fence is based on Paul’s 'word: “To me to live is (Phil. 1:2-21.) When we ask whether Christianity is practical, we have the answer in the fact that Christ, the Creator and Redeemer and Susfainer of the uni­ verse, certainly is practical—the unL verse would fall to pieces if He were' not, "For by Him were all things created . . . and by Him all things consist (hold together).” (Col. 1:16, 17.) Can Christianity meet every test that may ever come to it? Can Christ meet every teat that can ever come to Him? Will Christianity last? Will Christ last? Yes, the glory of the Christian life is that it consists, actually and lit­ erally, of Christ Himself. The Chris­ tian 'is one who has, by faith, receiv­ ed Christ as Saviour. And the mo­ ment a lost sinner-—which we all are—accepts Christ as his Saviour, that moment the Holy Spirit unites that sinner to Christ. The supernat­ ural, divine fact of being, brought into union with Christ by the Holy Spirit is called regeneration which simply means being born again. The new birth, or second birth, is just as literal a fact as was the first birfh. The one is supernatural, the other natural. And, as Moody used to say; “If you are born only, once, you will die twice; if you are born twice, you will die only once.” That is, the second birth means that the believer will never go down into the ■“second death,” which is “the lake of fire.” (Rev. 20:14.) The last two verses of our lesson state very simply the glory of the Christian life. "And this is the re­ cord, that God hath given to us eter­ nal life, and this life is in His Son; He that hath the Son hath life; and be that not the Son of God hath not life.” So ope great test of the Christian is whether he has eternal life, by having received the 'Son of God as that life. Other tests are given in the lesson The new birth is one of them. How may we know whether we are born again, born of God? "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.” Jesus is the human name of a man. “Christ” means ‘An­ ointed’ or ‘Messiah.’ The word Bible, Old Testament and New, declares taht Israel's’ Messiah, the Anointed One, the Christ, must be the Son of God as no created man has ever been Therefore belief in the unique deity of Jesus Christ is- one of the tests of the Christian. Love for fellow Christians is an- tliat Him other test, loveth Him that begat loveth also that is begotten of Him.” Lcving God is- another test, this we know that we love the dren of God when we love God.” Keeping God’s commandments is another test of the Christian. “For •this is the love of God that we keep His commandments.” We have no right to say that we love God when we are 'disobeying Him. Power to overcome the world is another test. What does that mean? Every one either overcomes world. Do we go down under pressure of the world about us, all its follies and failures and and temptations? Or do 'we above it in real victory over it? whatsoever is born of God overcom- eth the world.” How can we ever hope to do that? “And this is the victory that overcometh the world, oven our faith.” Christian faith means telling God to do for us what we cannot do our­ selves. To overcome the world is a miracle; only God can bring it to pass. The Christian has faith in God for this miracle, and his faith is vindicated. Then to make the secret of Victory’ very plain and simple so that no one can misunderstand it we read: ".Who is he that overcometh the world, but be that believeth that Je­ sus is the -Son of God.” We are told that “there iare three that bear witness” in this matter of true Christianity or the new birtll and the new life. The three are "he Spirit, and the water, and the blood.” What does this- mean? The Spirit is the Holy 'Spirit, whose work is to make Jesus Christ known to men, to convince them of sin, and to enable them to believe in Christ as Saviour, "The water” is a type of symbol of the Bible in various Scripture pas­ sages, and we know that the Bible, G-dH's Word, presents Christ as. its greatos and central theme; it shows men that they are lost sinners and need a Saviour, and it tells them who that Saviour, is and what Me has done. So the Church of Christ is cleansed "with the washing of wa­ ter by the word.” (Eph, 5:26.) the the with isins rise ‘For has originated by a discovery of such great importance that it attracts and holds exper­ ienced prospectors and mining men, FOR EXAMPLE—The Hollinger in Porcupine The Wright-Hargreaves in Kirkland Lake The Young-Davidson in Mataehewan rA SUGGESTION OR TWO An esteemed correspondent asks us for a suggestion fro the Year: First,'"Fear God and Keep His Commandments.”.

FEED SCARCE While this neighborhood has little cause for complaint regard­ ing shortage of feed, many localities not far away are not in that happy condition. Even in this region a great many farmers are decidedly short of hay, a want that always is serious when it comes to foddering stock. One prominent farmer told us that one winter he decided to get his cows through the wintei* without hay only to find that the practice savoured of the penny wise and pound foolish variety. For this reason a good many feeders are decidedly anx­ ious, though the open fall has been of real advantage. Wideawake stockimen. are getting feed before the serious rush that is looked for later on will run prices sky high. ***** Where does the money come from? thoughtful men ask as they learn that man-of-war building camaign that is -a challenge to the rest of the world, barring no nation whatsoever. Look at the little kingdom. Look over her record of trade. Look, if you will, and as statesmen the world over have looked into the cash and the wealth upon which she would naturally be able to lay '.her hands and the question of fi­ nances in regard to her stupendous present undertaking forces it­ self upon anyone familiar with the cost of government and of battleships and other much enterprise. Where does the money come from? What other country has a finger in this pie?. Is Rus­ sia in this thing? Js Germany getting busy? What ■-about China'? Soane of us have lived dong enough to see strange things come to light very suddenly. In any case we do not like the look of things » now that the three-power treaty has been denounced, “Things are not what they seem.” COME FROM? That is the first question Japan is embarking on a LET’S OUST IT! Wha.t we mean is let us make war on dullness. We were forc­ ed to spend, a few hours in .a dull town only the other afternoon and we didn’t like our sojourn. We listened not so long ,to a, dull sermon. We were little profited. We went into a store and found things dull. We didn’t make purchases. We know a dull chap who likes to buttonhole us. When we see him lumbering in our direc­ tion we take to the -tall timbers. We sometimes1 have a dull paper and realize that we have committed ’the mortal sin of newspaper- do m. Dullness is utterly bad, whether it be exemplified in a. razor, a carving knife or .a. book or a poem, or in o.ur wits. It kills towns. It empties stores. It .ruins manufactories. It blights homes. It separates friends. It empties lodge rooms. It stultifies, schools. It makes a dentist’s outfit engines of torture. R makes children criminals in the parlour, a fly in -the It’s more in the road than .a the neck. It lifts no load, no bacon. It mendsi no trousers. We don’’t like dullness. and drives a man to drink. It’s a pig pudding and water in the gasoline, sore thumb and meaner than a pain in It boils no teakettle. It brings home It darns no stockings. And the blood, of Christ, shed for our sins, is the only- way of salva­ tion for lost sinners. “The blood of Jesus Christ, His, Son, cleanseth us from all sin.” (I John 1:7.) Another practical lesson in "testis of a Christian” can be had by re­ viewing the lesson of this quarter They show us that tests of ia Chris­ tian are: Fellowship with Christ; The Christian uses and loves 'liis Bible; the Christian prays effective­ ly; the Christian’s standard of life honors God; the Christian always keeps on. growing; the Christian is the best citizen; the Christian is faithful in Church fellowships the duties; the Christian is a trustwor­ thy steward; the Christian bears a true witness to Christ; the Christian teaches truth and falsehood; the Christian and the Lord's Supper show “the Lord’s death till He come”; the Christian’s home life meets of tie Stanley Hocking, died suddenly at her home lot 3, con. 10.

Makwa Champagne Gold Mines Limited In May of last year Wesley Clause made a gold find of oustanding importance on ground that is now owned by Makwa Champagne. When the importance of this find be­ came known hundreds of prospectors and mining men rushed to the Makwa Champagne district with the resiilt that the district has been solidly staked. Many mining companies and syndicates have purchased ground in this area and are now actively engaged in devel­ oping their properties. 4 \ 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.
