Friends were congratulating .him of the high position which he had attained. “I’m not sure but that I am more an object for prayers rather than of congratulation,” he wisely and feelingly replied.A******* LET’S NOT FORGET Over there in Spain they’re killing each other. Little children are pinched for food as they shiver in the sleet or in the frost and asked with wide-eyed wonder what is is all about. Well, all the Wiorld can give them an answer. Spain had .rulers who gave themselves to speed, to extravagance, to scandal and to flouting the moral law. .She gave herself to politics’rather than to good government; to pleasure rather than to service and down­ right hard work in pursuit of worth while ends.

At last county authorities are waking up to the truth of our remarks. This wak­ ing up is long overdue. We make no reflection, we .have made no reflection, upon the integrity of the auditors who have allegedly examined the accounts .of the average municipality or company or lodge or such concern. We have simply pointed out that these municipalities and concerns have employed men for a task for which the employees were not fitted. Men have been assigned tasks in auditing that in heir very nature make repairing a high grade watch or a telephone system the merest child’s play by com­ parison. Little wonder that serious mistakes have been made. It takes a whole lot more than good intentions and ability to> add and subtract and to. do a little reading to make a good job of auditing. ******** S> LAWSON’S XMAS SALES Offers outstanding values for Thrifty Shoppers WE SPECIALIZE IN DIAMOND RINGS PRICED FROM $12.00 UP Birth Stone Rings......................$1.00 and up We have a Nice Assortment of Cut Glass in White and Coronation Colours Dresser Sets.

Never since Kings were crowned in England did a monarch ascend the throne amid brighter omens than those that marked the present monarch. By this time every school boy taken place. JB'ut let’s the fault lies lies with, the eyed men and women are the first to conress that there has been for the last quarter of a century a decided lack of moral vigour and ig­ noring of high Christian ideals. When many leaders in the church tell you that there is no1 hell for the wicked and no heaven for the self-denying and the straight-going, anything may ibe looked for. When the pleasure of the hour becomes the standard of conduct for a very large proportion of the people we need be neither surprised nor A||ocked when folk in high places make indulgence their rule Wactice. What is needed more than anything else is a know- dge of and loyalty to the ten commandments and a deep assurance that the Most High will by no means clear the guilty, whether the guilty be king or peasant. iGod still punishes evil and rewards virtue, whether we admit or not. As iregards the constitutional aspects of the deplorable situa­ tion two things are needed.
