No More Prosperity for Me! « The following article was from the Petrbhe. Advertiser^Topic INSTAHT-GAS LANTERN This article came to us in the maiL From whence it came or by who written we do not know. But it is clever, and embodies a large, amount of commomsense and. philosophy* And these two things plus a smile are what we neq«d just now. So we are passing it along. discowrag- to road I like the depression, No more prosperity for pie, I have had more fun since the depression ever had ip my life, I had for-,, live, what it meant to have real friends, what it was like to eat common, every­ day food, high hat. J like the Depression started than I gotten how to Fact is, J was getting a little too behavior in this see whether they a matter in which Every good gift and every per­ fect gift is from ahoye, apd cometh down from the Father (Jas. 1:170 The Jews are the most ing people in all history aboud—except the Gentiles. We get righteously indignant as we read the story of the Israelities in the Old Testament; we lose all patience with them, and wonder how they could have behaved as they did af­ ter all God had done for them; and then we go and do exactly the same sort of things ourselves-—and quit® forget to grow righteously indig­ nant over our own failures. Let us take a good look at the Israelities in their strange lesson, and then are not, after all, to see ourselves, God had brought Israel out of Egypt, the land of bondage, by a succession of stupendous miracles, plagues of judgment upon pharaon and the Egyptians, miracles of pro­ tection to the Israelities in the midst of the judgments. The tenth judgment brought death to the first born in every family in Egypt, while Israel’s life was saved by the pro­ tection of tlie^shed blood of the passover lamb, a type of Christ the Lamb of God, whose blood is shed for sinners that they may be saved. Then followed the miracle of the Red Sea; the Israelities, trapped by the -pursuing armies of Egypt, brought triumphantly through the sea on dry ground, and the Egyp­ tians overwhelmed and destroyed by drowning as the waters of the sea pourbd back upon them in their vain attempt to *do?what only those who were trusting in God could do. A few days victory psalm praise of God, to the bitter which they could not drink, and they murmured against Moses in re­ bellion and complaint, Patiently the Lord worked another miracle, di­ recting Moses to use a tree, type of Calvary’s tree, to cast upon the wa­ ters, which were thus made sweet and wholesome and thrist-quench- ing. Now the great host of Israelities have been moving southeasterly down along the shores of the Red Sea into the wilderness of sin, on the way to Sinai. Did they remem­ ber the wonderful things God had done in their behalf by His miracu­ lous power, and did they continual­ ly praise and worship Him? Lis-' ten to their voices: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, eat bread to the brought us forth ness, to kill this with hunger.” * It was a grateful crowd, wasn’t it A trustful multitude of believers! Did God lose * all. patience with them? No. He promised to provide meat and* bread for -them miracuB ously. “Behold, I..will, rain bread from Heaven for you,” He said, He kept His word. Let us stop- a moment in midst of our- criticising Israel yet us face a few questions for selves. • ' When some material or bodily supply that we -have- had stops, do we ever complain, ever God, or do we wait quietly trustingly for Him to meet need? After we have had some and wonderful experience of God-’s blessing, brought to pass in Such a way that we canot be in any pos­ sible doubt that it was God, and God alone, that blessed us, have we ever after that doubted Him again?

The Wife Three years ago I was so busy and my wife was so busy -that we didn’t see'much of each other, consequent­ ly -we sort of lost interest in each other. I never went home to lunch. About twice a week I went home to dinner—at 6-30 o’clock. I never had any time to go anywhere with, her. If I did go on a party, I could never locate her. Since there was always a “blonde” or a “red­ head” available. I didn’t worry much about it. My wife belonged to all the clubs in town. She even joined the young mother’s club. We didn’t have any childfdn but she was studying —and between playingybridge’ and going to clubs she was never home. We .got stuck up and high falutin’. ■ We even took down the We like the depression, We have ■come down off opr pedestaiband are really living at home now.

Think I will keep her, at least until she is. forty and then if I feel like I do now,I may trade her fpr two twenties. I am feeling better since the depression,- I take more exercises.

It was placed there at the grave of his wife by a physician whose high skill and learning were long 'in the service of the community and of the Yale Medical school, whose courtesy and graciousness, became a tradition and who bore worthily a great name, Francis Bacon.

HOTELKEEPER FINED For the third time in recent weeks a Huron County hotelkeeper has been assessed $500 and costs for a breach of the 'Liquor Control Act. In all three cases an appeal has been entered on the ground that the fine was excessive, William Lemon, proprietor of th§ New Commercial Hotel, Hensall, was fined $500 and costs by Magis­ trate Reid on Monday morning. His place was raided on July 9th, and a quantity of whiskey and beer, lo­ cated behind the bar, was seized. Lemon told an unusual story. He said two strangers had. left the stuff with him to^be given away, .which he was in the act of doing when raided. “The story is beyond belief,” said Magistrate Reid. “I have' heard of liquor being mysteriously found in fence corners, and of most every­ thing else save it growing on trees, o but this is the limit.” told him he,did-r ■ Crown Attorney Holmes asked dent want nuthln' he sed he had a good Tadio plenty of silver wear <fe d bran new otto- mobeel and real Estate . -and sum good stocks in bonds tuck away in the bank, and then pa sed what ing of some leader or teacher ap­ pointed by God to guide u» and help us, do we ever criticise or condemn that leader for something that is not his fault? Israel persisted in her unbelief and disobedience; have we ever done this? Going on with the lesson narra­ tive, let us rememebr that every new blessing from God is a new test of ourselves. When God prom­ ised the manna, and told just how it was to be gathered, He added “that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or no.” The impossible happened. That evening innumerable flocks of quail came and covered the camps of Is­ rael with its more than * 600,(000 men beside w.omen and children; and there was enough meat for all. And the next morning a dew cover­ ed the ground, and when the dew had evaporated, “behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing as small as the hoa’r frost on the ground.” ' It was th’e divinely given ^manna. God rected, through Moses, that it gathered, ,in a certain quantity every man and for every family cording to the number of persons, but only enough for one day’s sup- ■ply, with strict orders that none of it be left till the, morning.
