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. ❖ * * CI­ TOXOID CLINIC? As we read the Listowel Banner this week ment that particular.

McTague dismissed an action at Osgoode Hall a few days ago, in which the Canadian Shredded 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." The Kellogg Company manufac­ tures Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, the ori­ ginal Corn Flakes, Kellogg’s All­ Bran, Kellogg’s Pep Bran Flakes, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, Kellogg’s Wheat Krispies, Kellogg’s Whole Wheat Flakes, Kellogg’s Kaffee-Hag Coffee. Kellogg’s products are sold by all grocers and general merchants in every city, town, village and ham­ let in Canada. PRIG ETHEONLY’CAR minutes at the wheel will tell you •> GIVES YOU ALL SIX...

S ■ Wingham, - • Ontario. ■ Phone 271 E ■MHnmMMnRUMnuiHil 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— wwrni a a Montreal-loronto ROCHESTER BUFFALO - E FUE FIREPROOF ► HOTELS Manx LOCATED He we' our MONUMENTS at first cost Having our factory equipped with the hlOSt modern machinery for the exe­ cution of high-class work, we ask you to see the largest display of monu­ ments of any retail factory In Ontario* All finished by sand blast machines.

Skelton & Son at West End Fridge—WALKERTON “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. We are told that years ago, when the steamer Lady Elgin was sinking in Lake Michigan, a student in Evans­ ton, With great energy and costly per­ sonal exposure, saved nineteen lives. Broken in health from this effort, he was asked when an old man what re­ turns of gratitude, if any, came. He answered, “Not one?* Hays ,barrister of Goderich, as one of the thirty “benchers.” This is the first time in twelve years that the bar of Huron county, has been represented among the ben­ chers, the last Huron representative having been the' late Senator Win.
