Golden Text Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, (Mark 16:15.) “God dial only one Son, and He gave Him to be a mssionary.” Thftt is a good sentence to remember as we study Christian missions. It is the heart of Christian missions. Men and women go as missionaries because of what Chriist .has done for them. Here is their message to a lost world, in the words of the great est missionary this world has ever known: “Now then we are ambassa dors for Christ, as though God did ■beseech you by us; we pray you ’in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” (II Cor. 5:20). Ignorant peapie sometimes say that Christian missions are an imper tinence. What right have Christians, they ask, bo go to the people o«f other countries and try to force the Chris tian religion on them? If you know that a man is sick of a disease that w'ill kill him unless he is cured, a disease that you your self had.and of -which you were cured and you know you owe youo life to the physician who cured you, would it be an impertinence to go to that man, tell him about youi* physician, and express and hope that he will let your physician cure him? That ilis Christian missions. The heathen land the whole world, is dying of the di ease of sin. There is only one cure, only one physician; the Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Shall not we who know the deadliness of the dis ease, the love and power of the Phy sician, the certainty o’f the cure, share our knowledge with others. When we think or talk of the Jews as a narrow, intolerant people, we forget why God originally made them Hits chosen people. When He called Abraham He said: “In thee shall all families on earth be blessed.” God was looking down through the cen turies to “Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” In Je sus Christ, whose earthly birth of the virgin mother made Him an Is raelite, and in Him alone, can all the families of the earth be blessed. For He is the only Saviour for lost sin ners, whether Jews- or Gentries. More than a thousand years after Abraham’s time God called Isaiah to ibe His special spokesman and pro phet, One of Isaiah’s inspired state ments was the verse that a young English boy, nine years old, heard an ignorant preacher give as his text one snowy winter Sunday morning in the year 1850. The text is in our les son: “Look utno Me, and ibe ye sav ed, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there’s none else.” The boy was Charles Hadden Spurgeon. He looked, and was saved, and be came one of the greatest preachers since the apostle Paul, It is a mis sionary verse, for it is addressed to “all the ends of the earth.” Isiaiah also gave to Israel the pre diction and promise of God: “I will also give thee for a light to the Gen tiles, that thou mayest be my salva tion unto the end of the earth.” Is rael’s Messiah Jesus is also the world’s Saviour—-and the only Sa viour. When people think of Jonah they are likely to think only Of hi® mir aculous experience in being swallow ed and cast up by a giant fish. They forgot that Jonah became one of the woijd’s greatest missionaries. Jonah did not want to be a mis sionary, but God persisted until he yielded and obeyed the divine call. God sent him to one of the greatest and wickedest cities in the world’s history, Ninevah. God had command ed Jonah to “cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before Me.” When Jonah finally obeyed, and went, and preached God’s judgment, aQ unexpected thing happened. The whole City of Ninevah, from the king down to the humblest citizen, turned to God in confession and repentence. This was done by 'command of the King, It was sincere and heart searching. And God did’ what He always does when men turn to Him in real re pentance. He extended His mercy and forgiveness freely and lovingly. So a mighty city and people were saved. But the greatest and final reason for Christian missions is what is called the Great Commission. .Some one asked the Duke of Wellington what he thought of Christian mis sions. The Iron Duke replied bluntly “What are your marching orders?” The marching orders iof the church are plain enough. They come from the lips of the divine Commander-in- Chief. “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every icreature.” Again, an instant before the risen and glorified Lord ascended from earth to Heaven, He said to His dis- ciuples: “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Ju dea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” There again is the worldwide field of mis sions. The first missionaries formally ap pointed by God Himself were the early Christians, Barnabas and Saul. And it is significant that they met With sharp opposition in theii- first missionary church. A 'man tried to turn one of ther converts away from the faith. ‘From that day to this true missionary work has always been opposed and it always will be. Satan and sinful men see to that. The sudden supernatural and complete conversion of Saul, who had been the great enemy of Christ and Christians, into the greatest of Christian evangelists and missionar ies, is a type of what will occur to the whole Jewish nation when their Messiah icomes again and appears to them as He appeared to Saul. They will turn to Him as (Saul did. Christ commissioned him to become "a minister and of witness” to the Gen tiles, “to open the'ir eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power o’f Satan unto God, that they may receive forgive ness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.’ The Jews, when they turn as a nation to their Mes siah, Christ, will do this for the whole world.

The Agricultural Representative has secured suitable animals'. Together with the local clergymen the interest of boys in these clubs has been aroused. All are working together for the big prizes' offered the competitors. To say that the boys are enthusiastic is putting it within the mark.

Henceforth interim first and sec-' Ond class and kindergarten-rrimary certificates will be valid for four years from date of issue and may be made permanent when the teacher has had three years’ teaching ex perience and fulfilled 'certain con ditions. Feature regulation is the provis ion first class teacers may not obtain permanent certificates until they have completed at an Ontario uni versity a one year’s course of edu cation.

We were busy in our garden when a fine car stopped. The occupant beckon ed us to approach him as he Inquired for the home of a certain farmer. “Where do' you Hail from?” we asked. This young fellow of 35 leisurely rolled a cigarette and told us that he was from a cer tain city. “Many unemployed there?” we inquired. “Lots of them, I’m one. I’ve got a job out here farming I was told to' be along this morning so' I motored over.” There you have it! The cigarette bought on relief money. The car supplied with gas bouight with relief money. The expensive and not needed car. The morning job approached at 11 o’clock. Will t’he sobsisters please take notice, ******** NO ONE BENEFITTED The terrible explosion in an immense German war munitions factory 'has shocked the world. The loss of life and property has been appalling. Yet that such a catastrophe was about due was the expectation of a great many plain people. It was not in reason that such accummulations of explosives should 'be assembled with out disaster. Does this disaster not point the way to certain events that are sure to' come. “They who- take the sword shall perish by the sword.” They who breed greed and encourage covetousness shall be destroyed thereby. It is as certain as death. When will the bel ligerent nations of the earth learn that their policy is in its very nature self-destructive? ******** ENGLAND’S NEW DAY No, we’re not going to do any flag-waving or shouting. That is t’he thing that is farthest from our mind. What we wish to do- is to remind our reeders that England is doing very well in a business way. Her people have a good chance to- go to work. Her politics have been cleared of bunkum and bluster. Kindness is shown to1 the 'weak and 'broken and the underprivileged, while the scheming have been told that they simply must go to- work or starve. England is saying to' the world “Our lion is no straw-stuffed affair. If any one twists his tail he’r better be prepared to fight. We don’t want war, but there are certain possessions that we’ll' keep even at the cost of war.” Industry, frugality, honour, integrity have again vin dicated themselves. ******** not to be forgotten We had the rare experience of looking in upon one of those clinics held by the Rotarians in 'behalf of the under-privileged chil dren of the district. Those strange people, the Rotarians, at least annually send out letters to the ministers and the school teachers of the district informing them that if they will forward the names of children who are under-privileged in any way, that on a certain definite 'day, and in a named place, some of the best doctors will be on hand to discover what is best to- ’be done for the child in view of hie handicap. If the ©liild is in mental darkness the cause is sought. The same is done for those defective in hearing or seeing, On weakness of heart on lung or limb. If the child is not doing well in any 'way, if he is not playing happily or not coming on. well in school, his case is considered and the parents advised as tot th0 best course to be pursued. Those who can pay for future treat ment are expested to do so. The clinic is not designed to encourage stinginess or 'meanness. The really poor are provided for. No end of good has come of those gatherings, No one regrets it more than the doctors when the verdict, '^Nothing can be done.” must :be given “Service before self!” is the motto of doctors1 and Rotarians alike, especially when it comes to dealing with under privileged cihlidren. And now for the clinic. Doctors spoke with the utmost plain- , ness to some of those parents. When- the parents through lack of pre-natal care or for some other cause had brought on the affliction for which their child suffered, they were told so in a few simple but telling words. Some hard boiled mothers winced as If under a whip lash as their offence of amission® and commission were pointed out. The fashion-following mothers were told some very plain things about the folly and wickedness she had perpetrated. But how gently those children were treated! How soon their complete confidence was won! And the verdicts! How those mother® wait ed for tho answer to their queries “What can- be done? Is there any hope?” And the answers! “A little operation and a little rest and seme care and your little fellow will be walking in less than a year,” “He needs spctacles and he’ll pick up!” “Those adenoids should be out!” “That heart needs rest!” “She’ll need to be put on- a special diet!” Whn such verdict® were given, tho youngster was picked up and carried out by parents who could not conceal their unquall- diet!” When such Verdicts were given, the youngster was picked given one could feel the chill in the blood and the heavy-hearted ness of the parents. That Clinic is a dO'Or of hope for Scores aiid- scores of children and doctors and Rotarians a{e to Ibe honored accordingly, HOW TO MAKE ICED TEA Infuse six heaping teaspoons of Salad?
