A man more than 40. years 'old, helplessly lame from his birth, was brought by his friends every day to a gate of the temple of Jerusalem.' The gate was called “Beautiful" Theie he lay all days long, begging alms of those who came to worship. • It is a pathetic picture of poverty and impotence. How many years it had gone on we are not told. One day the lame beggar, lying as usual at the Beautiful Gate,.saw two men about to enter. He made his customary plea. Probably he thought little of it—they might, or might not pay attention to him. But they stopped short. One the men fixed his eyes upon the gar and said, in a 'Compelling way “Look on us.” 1 This was out of the ordinary, tainly. The man looked expectant­ ly; perhaps they were going to give a larger alms than usual. He w-as mistaken. They were go­ ing to- give him no alms at -all; they had no money and they told ihim so. But this is what one of -the men said i —and his words have come ringing I down through the centuries: “(Silver and- g,old have I none; but such as I .have give I thee; In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and Svalk.” At the Beautiful Gate -of the temple two had any The at the Gate Beautiful, because two men dared to call upon the name of Him who is t'he -only D'otor to eternal life. The two men were Peter and John Peter took the man’s hand -and lift­ ed him up; there w-as an instant and stupendous miracle; the man’s and ankle bones received strength, so that he ble along? eus Christ leaped up. in full physical strength; went on through the Bea.utiful Gate with his nbw friends, and “into the temple, walking, and leaping and praising God.” There can be little doubt that the healed man turned t-o Christ as his Saviour and received taernal life as well as physical strength. The news spread like wildfire. “And all the people saw him walk­ ing and praising God.”—and they knew it was the man who had been lame, for he was a familiar sight to the whole city. Peter preached another great ser­ mon then, like t'he one he preached on the day of Pentecost. It was a sermon that cut deep, condemned unsparingly, and then offered for­ giveness and salvation. Peter told his great audience' of Jews that the lame man had been •healed by faith in the name of Je­ sus Christ, who was their Messiah, but whom they had delivered up, denying ’the Holy One and the Just’ and had- asked that -a murderer be given to them in His stead, while they “killed, the Prince 'of life, whom God had raised from the dead.” Then Peter showed how all this fulfilled the Old Testament Scrip­ tures, with which his hearers were familiar. And he declared that . if they would repent 'and recognize this crucified and risen Jesus Christ as their Messiah ther sins would be blotted out. Many believed, and the three thousand who had become believers on the day of Pentecost grew t-o be five thousand. But persecution was at hand. The priests who had crucified Christ had Peter and John arrested, kept in the prison overnight, and then hailed before them in the Sanhedrin. In formal trial the priests asked Peter and John by what power' or name I they had worked the miracle. The answer was plain enough: ‘Be it known unto- y-ou all, and to all the people 'of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ -of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by,Him doth this man stand -here before you whole." And Peter quoted -a familiar verse from Pslam 118:22, which must cut the Jewish leaders to the heart: “This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is be­ come the head of the -corner." There followed the astounding men were looking to Him wh-o- said: “I am the door; by Me if man enter in, he shall be saved.’ lame man was saved physically now, Lord, behold their threatenings and grant unto Thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak Thy word, by stretching forth Thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of Thy holy chil-d Jesus.” Four outstanding facts of the periences of this less'on -can be membered by four words, each ginning with H: Helplessness. Healing. Heralding. Harvesting. The helpless lame man was heal­ ed; the good news of the Saviour, by faith in whose name ihe was healed, was 'fearlessly heralded people; and the result was vesting of souls-. .

Wm., Thorn­ ton Baker -and Nelson Baker of this community. The funeral on Friday afternoon last of Lieut. M. E. Duncan, of the 77th Field Battery, Canadian Artil­ lery, was notable for its dignity and ! the colorful presence of the militia. Military honors were accorded the deceased, the members of the bat­ tery attended in a body and there was a good- representation of the units of the Moose Jaw Garrison. Main -street was crowded with reverent, bareheaded citizens as the •funeral procession slowly passed. Traffic halted in silent respect to the dead; citizens -ceased their jour- neyings until the flag draped casket ,on the gun carriage had passed. •St. Andrew’s Church was complete­ ly filled when the minister, Rev. Geoffrey Glover, conducted the last sad rites. With great feeing, Don RiOme sang “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The congregation joined- in singing two hymns during the ser­ vice. Headed by the band of the K.O.R. C. the funeral cortege, to the strains of the Dead March, left Broadfoot’s Funeral Home, marched along Fair­ ford Street, north on Main street and- east 'on Athabasca to the church. Behind the band were the firing party under the command of Bat­ tery Sergeant Major F. Grindley and the members of the 77th ( Battery. The whole parade was under the! command of Captain L. Jones. Behind the gun carriage bearing' the casket, with the sword, cap and belt of the deceased officer on top,' followed his charger, with boots re­ versed- in the saddle stirrups. As the remains were carried from ’the funeral home and also as they were borne into the church, the fir­ ing party presented arms. During the parade they carried their arms reversed. At the M'oose Jaw cemetery Trum- pter-iSergeant H. Wilamont sounded the “last Post” and- a volley was fir­ ed over the grave. The honorary pall bearers were Lieuts. ;S. Evans, J. Turner, N.

The treat­ ies under their present set-up were not operating in the best interests of Canada. "We have been fold in 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934 and today that conditions are improving,” said Mr. Golding “and while there is a little improve­ ment there is the same improvement the world over so it can hardly be credited to the trade, agreements.” The government seemed to think it ‘had discovered a brand new mar­ ket, but the market was there before and a freer market, one problem facing 1930 that is not still problem of markets taxation and of debt pl'oyment.

The fact that the goverment had to bring down a $90,000,000 loan proved that fact also. With all these failures, isaid Golding, he could not see how government expected the people Canada, to believe that further exper­ imentation was going to do what it failed to do in four .and a half years. Mr. Bennett had said the Empire agreements would be a major issue in the election, and Mr. Golding em­ phasized that his by-election was the first held after the .agreements had been passed and the government can­didate was defeated. In Drysdale where Sam. Gobell (Cons. Compton) was sent to speak against him, the Conservative Con­ servative candidate only got seven votes. The minister of railways had gene into the riding and told the people the eyes of the whole Empire were on them. The result indicated what was thought of' the agreements. , Voice of By-Elections Mr. Gasgrain: “They were wise I people.” Mr. Golding pointed out the num­ erous by-elections since and the fail­ ure fo the government to find sup­ port.

Then he invited I the opposition to join in support of the treaties, knowing they were all | elected no lower tariffs and increas­ ed British preference. Mr. Golding dealt at length with I the wheat situation and the failure of the government to cope with it. Mr. Bennett had said that if there I was any dissatisfaction in the Old I Land over the agreements the Liber­ al party was 'responsible for it. “That I was a mighty small thing for a big may to say,” said Mr. Golding. i On everything Canada sold to the Old Country she manipulated and manoeuvred to keep prices up and on everything she bought tariffs, duties and other obstacles were placed in the way.
