(Luke 10:27), It is a chapter shining with a se- ■quence of seven sharp contrasts. A great harvest, and few laborers Lambs sent out among thieves; Lambs sent out among wolves. The choice of God’s peace, or of God’s judgment: blessing or curs­ ing. . What we do for God i3 nevei* to be> compared with that He does for us. The world’s wisest people fail to understand what God1 has revealed io babes in wisdom. A shrewd lawyer, trying to trap Uhrist, is humbled and silenced. A busy, worrying housekeeper learns that there is something more important than persistant activity, and that her quiet, silent sister was doing better than she. The harvest of spiritual -possibili­ ties in the world is always greater than the number of harvesters. This is not Gods fault, but ours. The Lord, after appointing His twelve apostles ‘appointed other seventy al­ so’ and sent them as His. personal representatives- to every city and jflace that He was to visit, They had a message of peace and good news, .and they were to tell peop e every­ where, “The- kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.” e Did the Lord say they would be welcomed and believed This is what He said: "I send you forth as lambs among wolves.” This is the picture of Christians in this^wor’d, Christ Hmself is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the ;6ins of the 'world”’ (John 1:29). The world, which does not want its sin taken away, crucified Him, and turns against H/is- true followers. But some believeth Christ, and som'e believe Him today.

Mr. Dew was born neai’ Exeter, Ontario, in 1853 and had attained the age of 82 years?. .He had enjoy­ ed good health until his last illness which was brief, not more than a week or ten days. Mr. Dew dame to this country, with his wife and three cf their family who were born in the East, in 1883. He purchased a farm ad­ jacent, now, to the village of Snow­ flake, where the rest of the family were born. He witA the assistance of his thrifty wife and growing fam­ ily transformed the virgin prairie, treeless and without a fence or a buildng, into ia highly productive farm, af- splendid home and a good farmstead. Mr. Dew saw depres­ sion before the last one through which we are passing but lived to enjoy the fruits of his earlier toil and hardships and Often enjoyed re­ counting his experiences of the pion­ eer days. Seven years ago he mov­ ed into the village of Snowflake where he resided until his death. The late Robert Dew was highly respected in this community all these years, as were his wife and family. He was a man with a deep sense of moral responsibility, a man of in­ tegrity, a good citizen and a man who- succeeded in his calling because of his good management and hard worid and constant co-operation of his family. The funeral service was held in the United ChurCh with Rev. J. Linton in charge at the church and grave­ side, Interment was made in the Snowflake cemetery, beside his wife who predeceased him two years ago. Notwithstanding the cold weather and sickness ixi the Community a large concourse of people assembled to pay theix- last respects to the late Robert Dew. Surviving are four gons and two daughters, William, Harry and Rich­ ard, -of Windthorst, Sask.; Simon on the farm home at Snowflake; Mrs. B'. C. B'onnett, of Palmer, Sask, and Miss Amy at home. Three half­ brothers and two half sisters, Dan and Evan, o'f Exeter, Ontario; Frank of Wales, N. D.; Mrs. p. Ryckman, of Moose-Jaw and Mrs. F. Golder, o'f Alberta also survive.

EORMER REEVE OF ‘ FULLARTON DIES Following an illness of four months, death claimed a well-known |nd highly esteemed native born resident of Fullarton township on Monday,‘Feb. 24th, in the perso’n of William Albert Roach. Mr. Roach was born October 19, 1867, in Ful­ larton township, and his immediate death is attributed to heart condi­ tion. During Ills life-long residence in Fullarton he was well known throughout the community and took an active part in the affairs of the township having served as council­ lor for fifteen years and as reeve fox­ several years, receiving these offices most always by acclamation. In June 1900, lxe married Elizabeth Cornish. The flare-up in Japan has come to a great many as a painful surprise. We wondered why the military extremists were allowed to have their way so long. 0 The.mailed fist cannot long, hold down or deny expression, for any considerable time, to the spirit seeking freedom. « * • * * * * * .

A farmer was driving a h>ad of chop on a road near Blyth. It was snowing so heavily and the drifts were so deep, he unhitched the team and left the sleigh where it was. He has not been able to find either the sleigh nor tihe chop since. « to the re­ joice not, that the spirits are sub­ ject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in Tea von.” Even Christian people have -puz­ zled over that word of the Lord.,But; itsi meaning is plain. Salvation, ■■.is, greatier than our service. What we do' jf-or God can never be as import­ ant as wihat God does for us. One o.f the prayers uttered, by tihe Lord is given here. He rendered thanksgiving to His heavenly.. Fath­ er, “that Thou hast hid these things .from the wise and prudent, and hast, revealed them unto babes; even so, Father; for it seemed so good in Thy sight.”. There are men who stand head and shoulders- above their fellow-men in the wisdom of ■this world, men of vast intellect, men of towering scientific knowledge who nevertheless do. not know as much, as God, of ’Christ, ’o| the things that matter eternally), as-ksome h’umlble and ignorant ones who have nevertheless, found the way of life. The apostle Paul makes this .plain lil 1 Corinthians; 1:26-29, A shrewd lawyer—that is, a reli­ gious leader well versed in the law •of Moses and1 the Old Testament Scriptures—now asks- the Lord, a test question. It is the greatest queS* tion any man can ask. “What'Shall I do to inherit ’eternal life?” "What is written in: the law? How readest thou?1’* the Lord asiked; the lawyer. The man answered well, but; doubtless without realizing, that his answer left men’ confronting a hope­ less impossibility. “Th*ou. shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy ®oul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself,” •Came tlie Lord’s comment: “Thou hast answered right; this do. ahd thou slialf, live.” Was there a touch of loving satire in the Lord’s reply? For no human being since Adam fell could do what the lawyer, quot­ ing scripture, had said so glibly. Only a perfect, sinless man could do it—and there are no such men, That is why we need a -Saviour, Now the lawyer wanted to justify himself, and going back to the word about loving thy neighbor as thy­ self, he asked the Lord, “And who is my neighbor?” Ono of Christ’s immortal parables; came in answer to this question— that of the Good* Samaritan.
