BRAVE DRAEGERMEN
When Dr. D. Edwin Robertson and
Alfred Scadding reached the surface
of the Moose River mine about mid
night Thursday last week, the whole
world breathed a sigh of relief and
thanksgiving. There was a sadness
mingled with the joy of their rescue
as Herman Magill had passed on in
that underground tomb. For 242
hours these men had been in their
underground prison and they owe
their lives to the brave Draegermen
of Nova Scotia who 'worked in the
face of death, day in and day out,
hour after hour, during the ten days
the men were trapped in their under
ground prison.
These Draegermen risked their liv
es to save the lives of the trapped
men. They 'did not know if they
would be paid for their efforts or not.
This did not matter to them. Their
one thought was the release of those
trapped in the level below. They did
not think of the danger, they risked
their all, no man can do more.
These Draegermen are trained for
such work and only men with exper
ience and training could have effected
the rescue. It was just part of a day’s
work for them, this risking their lives
to save others. They are rough and
ready fellows with hearts of gold and
may the fund that is being raised for
those who labored to save Dr. Rob
ertson and Alfred Scadding grow and
grow. Donations of any size, no mat
ter how small, will help, arfd it is the
spirit of the giving that counts.
Most of those who helped with the
rescue both below and above ground
haye had a hard time of it during
these depression years. They gave
their services without thought of re
muneration, it is a fine thing that
they will be rewarded.

Justice C. P. McTague dismissed an
action at Osgoode Hall a few days

Kellogg Company of Canada, Ltd.,
and Solomon Bassin, Toronto, mer
chant, for alleged infringement of its
registered trade marks.
The Canadian Shredded Wheat Co.,
Ltd., alleged that the Kellogg Com
pany of Canada, Ltd., used the words
"shredded wheat” or “shredded whole
wheat biscuits” in connection with the
sale of biscuits when they had had
the words registered. The judgment
delivered by Justice McTague was
that such words “are common words,
merely descriptive and have not ac
quired a secondary meaning in such
manner a§ to give the plaintiff
relief sought.”
“To require the defendant
change the form of its biscuits
to label each individual biscuit,” Jus
tice McTague said, “would be to im
pose an obligation too doubtful as to
cost and would go too great a dis
tance in assuring the plaintiff of such
continuance of the monopoly which
it could further enjoy by patent or
trade marks."

It is a terrible business to mislead
those who trust you. And the su
preme sin of 'this sort is to mislead
others about eternal matters, eternal
life and death. The Lord Jesus spoke
a solemn warning word about this.
Offences are bound to come, He said,
“but woe unto him, through whom
they come!” Then followed these
words: “It were better for him that
a millstone were hanged about his
neck, and he cast into the sea, than
that he should offend one of these
little ones.”
The word “offend” means “cause to
stumble.” “These little ones” can ap
parently refer to those who are young
in their spiritual experience as well
as to children.
Let us never forget that some of
the most terrible warnings and some
of the most dreadful denunciations
come from the lips of Jesus Christ.
He is not only the “meek and gentle
Jesus,” but He is also inexorably
righteous: “In righteousness He doth
judge atid make war,” and “He tread-
■eth the winepress of the fierceness
and wrath of Almighty God.” (Rev.
19:11, 15.)
There is more false religious teach
ing in our churches and in the world
in general today than ever before in
the history of the world. Such tea
ching comes under this stern condem
nation of the Lord.
How often, and how long, should,
we forgive others? Once? Several
times? Our forgiveness should be un
ending and inexhaustible. If a man
injures us seven times a day, and each
time turns to us and says, “I repent,”
we are to forgive him each time. For
how triflini, after all, ate any wrongs
done against us as compared with the
wrongs we have done against God!
If God forgives us thousands of tim
es, as we turn to Him in repentance,
who are we to refuse to forgive a
fellow-sinner?
“Increase our faith,” said the apos
tle to the Lord.
He must have startled them with
His reply. He answered in effect:
What you need is not more faith, but
just faith. “.If ye had faith as a grain
of mustard seed—one of the smallest
of seeds—ye could work miracles.”
In other words, faith is not a mat
ter of quantity, but of quality. If we
really have faith in God, we can trust
Him to work whatever miracles are
really needed. He always honors
faith.
Now came a hard saying. The Lord
must have amazed His disciples when
He said: “When ye shall have done
all those things which are command
ed you, say, We are unprofitable serv
ants: we have done that which was
our duty to do.”
This has puzzled many Christians.
How can we be unprofitable when
we do everything that we ought to
do?
An answer has been suggested that
seems to be a true one. In order to
redeem and save us God has made
an infinitely costly investment. He
has given His only begotten Son to
die in our stead. In the books of
Heaven we can see, as it were, the
columns representing the investment
and the returns from that investment.
But the best largest returns we can
ever bring to God as a result of His
investment in us of His Son can nev
er equal the investment. In other
words, God has to carry us on His
book's at a loss. He does it gladly—

“God so loved the world that
gave.”
When we have done all that
ought to do, when we have done
whole duty, we are 'still' “unprofitable
servants”; we are carried on God’s
books at a loss, not a profit.
Gratitude is a rare jewel. We need
only look about us in every-day life
to be convinced of this. What pro
portion of people are careful to ex
press their thanks for everything that
is done for them?
The Lord did something one time
for “ten men that were lepers.” They
stood far away# from Him, for they
dared not come near any one. But
they “lifted up their voices and said,
‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.’ ”
He replied by telling them to keep
the Mosaic law for the healing of
leprosy: “Go, show yourselves unto
the priests.” They obeyed Him, and
a wonderful thing happened. “As
they went they were cleansed.”
They started out on this journey to
the priests “under law.” But the pres
ence of the Saviour of the world
brought them “under grace.” The law
procedure would have been a long-
drawn-out affair, as we see from two
very long chapters in the Old Testa
ment, Leviticus 13 and 14. But grace
works instantaneously. , '
Did the ten lepers turn back to
thank the Lord for His Wonderful fa
vor? Nine of them did not; “one of
them, when he saw that he was heal
ed, turned back, and with a loud voice
glorified God and fell down on his
face at His feet, giving Him thanks:
and he was a Samaritan.”
The scorned and hated race of Sa
maritans, with which the very, relig
ious Jews had no dealings, furnished
the only one who brought his grati
tude to God and His Son.
The Lord must have been saddened
by the ingratitude of the nine for He
commented on it. But to he Samari
an He said: “Arise, go thy way: tl|y
faith hath made thee whole.” What
does Sthis last sentence mean? Evi
dently the Samaritan had a blessing
that the other nine did hot have, al
though all were physically healed. We
<may well believe that the one- who
showed his faith by his thanksgiving
received eternal life that day as well
as a cleansed body.
