inevitable. They had a false, sup
erficial righteousness that consisted
of keeping certain rabbinical, man
made additions- to the law -of God,
and when Christ swept these aside
they were enraged. He healed a
man on the iSa'bbath day, while “the
scribes and Pharisees watched Him,
whether He would heal on the Sab
bath day; that -they might find ,an
accusation against Him/’ The Lord
confounded them by asking the ques
tion: “Is it lawful on the Sabbath
days to do good, or to do evil,
save life, or to destroy it?”
W® SHOULD SAY
Sir Robert Borden is reported as “questioning” the way “re
lief” is being administered. Time somebody who knows fish from
fowl should be questioning. This.'thing of robbing a thrifty Peter
to “relieve” a non-enterprising Paul has gone much to far.

IT SIMPLY DID NOT
Referring to the 'broadcasting of the news of the death of King
George V, a clergyman is reported as saying: "The whole Empire
became a village.” That is what the Empire did not do. Heaven
forbid. It became more than ever an Empire. The parochial con
ception of the Empire1 has. gone, except for some people, of course.

GREAT STUFF
We know a young fellow who won his B.A., while teaching
school and who is now chasing his M.A., who, during the recent cold
spell saved nearly thirty children from winter’s ravages. He was
teaching school in the far north. He was ploddihg ahead of his
little charges breaking the road for them through the deep snow
when he discovered that his ears and nose were frozen. There was
but one thing to do—get the youngsters to safety. This he succeed
ed in doing. Great stuff! «

BETTER, STILL
After a profound discussion of the course for northerners to take
in view of the severity of northern winters Harris Turner in the
Western Producer concludes:
“Making all due- allowances Cor the inevitable exceptions, it
would appear that obedience to natural law should induce all the
people in Canada to either go south or go to bed during the months
of December, January and February.”
So did not the pioneers in agriculture, in manufacturing, in
engineering, in aviation, in schools, in medicine, in merchandis
ing, in navigation, in anything that is worth while.
********
IT JUST CAN’T BE DONE
We have been listening in on the radio from time to time to
parties attempting to reproduce the voices from some of the crea
tions of great authors. We confess to a good deal of -disappoint
ment. We have our own conception of how Tiny Tim said “God
bless us everyone!” But the voice we heard over the radio was
hot like that of Tiny Tim as we have heard' it in our own souls. Nor
is the effort one whit more satisfying when it comes to reproducing
the tones of Mr. Pickwick or of Bam Weller.
We’d like to say that we heard “The Dead March in Saul” rend
ered in .St. George’s iChapel and we’ll never forget that noble, ter
rible, awe-inspiring’ music. But it was real music. The voices
were not even imitations. They were just make believes.
to
Then,
by divine and miraculous power, He
healed the man instanteously.
Did this win His enemies? “And
they were filled with madness; and
communed one with another
they might do to Jesus.”
By this time the Lord had
disciples, that is, followers
learners. We saw last week some
thing of how he called men to be
come His disciples. Now the time
had come when He was to choose
twelve, whom also He named apost
les.’’ Did Jesus Christ, the Lord of
glory, need any preparation before
choosing the twelve? We read: ‘And
it came to pass in those days, that
He went out into a mountain to
pray, and continued all night to
pray to God. And when it was day,
He called unto Him His disciples:
and of them He chose twelve, whom
also He named apostles.”
Why should Christ have had to
spend a night in prayer before choos
ing the twelve apostles? ✓We must
never forget that, although He was a
member of the Godhead, He had be
come man in His incarnation, and
He condescended to live the life of
a normal man. This meant a life
of faith, and of dependence upon the
Holy Spirit. He sought His Father’s
will by power, and He lived mom
ent by moment the faith-life, as He
asks us to do. Hence the prayer life
of our Lord, perfect and sinless
though He was, meant such contin
ual prayer as no sinful man has evei*
attained. But those who are most
like Christ pray most.
He demonstrated. His divinity, or
deity, by working numberless mir
acles of healing. Immediately after
choosing the twelve apostles He
went with them, and with “the com
pany of His. disciples,” to a plain
where a vast multitude of people
from many parts of the country
could meet with Him. Many of these

and
were diseased or “vexed with un-
,clean spirits’ and “they were heal
ed.” Thon we read: “And the whole
multitude sought to touch Him: for there went virtue opt of Him, and
healed them all.”
At the stragetic time He preach
ed the immportal Sermon on the Mt.
Matthew's Gospel tells us that He
“went up into a mountain,” and ad
dressed this sermon to His disciples.
In the briefer form given 'by Luke
we find the heart of the longer dis
course given by Matthew.
People who pride themselves on
being liberal, and who are unwilling
to accept evangelical Christianity,
often say, “The Sermon on the
Mount is good enough foi" me.” It
had better be! Can they live it! The
standards and demands

There are four “Blesseds,” ano
four “Woes.” Blessing is pronounc
ed upon the poor, upon the sorrow
ing or weeping, upon the hated. We
know that these words refer to the
poor in spirit, those that hunger and
thirst after righteousness, those will
are weeping and hated because they
are persecuted for righteousness
sake. God will take care of them;
He will see that their needs are
abundantly met and they are eter
nally. rewarded.
Woe is pronounced upon the rich
the filled or satisfied, those that
laugh, because they are so well off,
those of whom all men speak well.
They are having their good times
now; but, if they are without Christ
and His righteousness, their worst
time is coming. t’rnir woe will be
eternal.
There »€■:£’« impossible com

are commanded to love our enemies,
bless them that curse us, give free

would that men should do to yow,

life and actions are. yosoible only to

GET THIS
It’s results, not excuses that count. We have been getting
away from this stern fact, and every inch of departure has meant
loss. Let us say it again, it is results, not excuses that count.
The drummer may as well know that if he doesn’t get orders
his job s. not worth a last year’s bird’s nest. Wellington won. 100

get his job done or take to the workhouse. The suitor must win
the girl or be well laughed at. The man on the 'bicycle must move
on or move off. The road to perdition is paved with “if” and “may
be”. The student who does not make the grade well is regarded
as a dub and that’s the end of it. Excuses don’t count. They tell
of a flabby brain, a muddled brain and a mushy will.
There’s a whole lot of tenderness of heart for the licked per
son, but the tenderness usually is 'born of softness of head rather
than of softness of heart. From the minute a young,ter can lick a
spoon he should be trained to be a winner. The world demands re
sults not hot air.

When he might have won if he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
