Now ah!deth faith, hope, love (charity) these; but the greats these is love (charity), (I, Cor 13.) The three chapters chosen for lesson rightly bear the title "S uul Gifts," for they discuss an forth, as only the Holy Spirit self could do through inspired the truth of God concerning " matike," which is the Greek word translated, spiritual gifts." It 1 literally "spirituals," that is, "mattees of or from the Holy Spirit." Paul is writing, not to unsaved people or men of the world, but to believers, born-again children of by faith in Jesus Christ. He inds them "that no than speaking the Spirit of God calleth Jesus cursed: and that no man can say Jesus is the Lord but by the Ghost." In other words, only a man has ]et the Holy Spirit of come into his life, by faith in Christ as Saviour, can he call Jesus Lord of his life; it requires the ernatural work of the Holy Spir our lives to enable us to say ti fully that Jesus is our Lord. But different Christians have rent gifts from this same Holy rit. All have one and the same rit. But every believer is to profit by whatever gift or manifestation of the Spirit he has, Then the Apostle names nine ferent gifts or rrpneumatika," may be given by the Holy Spiri various Christians. Here they a The word of wisdom. The word of knowledge. Faith, The gifts of healing, The working of miracles. Prophecy. Discerning of spirits. Divers kinds of tongues. The interpretation tongues. An interesting study may be in class by a thoughtful and Script - well discussion of each of these nine gifts. It is significant that we are plainly told that they are not all given to every believer. But there is only one Divine Spirit, "dividing to every man severally as Ho will." Then follows the marvelous truth concerning the so-called mystical. body of Christ of which every Christ• • Ian is a member. "For by ono Spirit are we all baptized into one I body," As every member of a phys- ical body needs every other member so every Christian needs very other I Christian. In a human body the fo- ot, the' hand the ear, the eye all need.LOOK AT YOUR LABEL one another; their functions an 1 responsibilities are different, but "the eye cannot say unto the hand; I have no need of thee." It is evid- ent that "there should be no schiam in the body, but that the member.( should have the same care one for another, And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. "Now ye are the body of Christ, not members in particular." How sadly evident it is that the Church of Christ has forgotten and dishonored this great fact of the vital inter -relationship of all her members! And how logically and vitally follows the necessity of love among the members of the body. That is why Chapter 13 follows Cha- pter 12. Paul shows that no matter what wonderful gifts one may have from the Holy Spirit, if they are not gov- erned and administered in love the possessor is "as sounding brass or a tinking cymbal." He goe on to des- cribe by inspiration what a Wednes- day editorial in The Globe recently called "The Miracle of Love." For this love is nothing less than miracu- lous; it suffer long, it is kind, it does not envy, it vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, never behaves unse- emly, never seeks its own interests, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil, never rejoices in iniquity but only in the truth; this miracle love "bear- th all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things endlireth all things. Love never faileth." One may well say of such love. "With men this is impossible; but with God all things etre possible" (Matt. 19:26). The climax of the chapter brings faith, hope and love before us, three great characteristics of the truly Christian life, which every member of the body of Christ ought to have. "But the greatest of these is love." Why is it greatest? May not this be the answer? There is a sense in which God does not treed to have faith as we need it, for faith acts without sight, and God sees all things as we cannot; Nor does God need hope to look forward to a fut- ure fulfillment, and God sees the end from the beginning, living in a time- less eternity. But, while God Him- self may not need to exercise either faith or (tope, "God is love," and always. He exrcises love. That which is of the eternal character of God is greater than the temporatory gifts that God's children need until they know even as also they are known. And they may manifest His own miraculous love even in this present life.

Well-lcnowu pub- licists and s11tesmen like the editor of Tannin, an erstwhile despairing young Turk, and the able Hussein Djahld Bey, wrote articles criticizing the Government for the lhnitatious Imposed upon the press. They, to- gether with other reactionaries, were tried and sentenced to exile. The Government is still being cen- sured by many for the repressions and cruelty with regard to those who oppose its reformatory measures, But It cannot he expected to handle with kid gloves the forces that are trying to block its progress. Kemal Pasha knows that his operating knife cuts deep into the souls of his people, but it is an operation which must be per- formed for the revitalization and re- juvenation of decadent Turkey. The republican government of Tur- key may have sentenced to death re- actionaries and insurgents like the leaders of the Kurd insurrection, but it has at the same time freed millions of women from an endless chain of veiled dark days and brought them out to the light of the sun. That is an achievement which no cultured and intelligent man can fail to ad- mire. I once lived in Turkey for twelve years continuously and in all that period I never saw the face of a Turkish woman. Only formless black masses, like huge cocoons, huddled about the streets, stealthily peeped through the crannies of old doors and quickly retreated, Now the silky folds have been torn and from the shapeless wrap has emerged the Turkish woman, uudistingulshable from other woolen in the street and able to hold her own with any of them. The Turks, who never revealed their wives even to their closest friends, cannot reconcile themselves es yet to Christians looking at the faces of Turkish women, This has given ground to some foreign observ- ers to slake the declaration that one cannot change a Turk by merely changing tie style of his headgear. It is hard for i.he. Turk to develop the attitude of the European with re- gard t0 women but there Is hope that he will eventually- break away from the chain of tradittou to which he has been tied for centuries, INDIVIDiALI'PY 1)1" VOICES.

The physical condition is also reveal- ed by the 'voice In a striking degree, both as to change and normal char- acteristics. Fat people, for example, have a voice quality which is all but Invariably detectable. Character, too, is easily read.

Rho- des Government, and the result meet have been a startling surprise for the Premier and his colleagues, ti; well as for the country at large. At the time of dissolution the Coe. servatives had 37 members, the Li- berals 3, with 3 seats which had 1'8- turnecl Conservatives' in the election of 1925 vacant, When the ballots were counted at the close of the day it was found that, instead of the Co- nservatives having 40 seams and the Liberals 8, the Government major- ity was almost wiped out. The Conservatives elected 23 members and the Liberals 20, in the debacle Premier Rhodes lost four of his cab- inet ministers, while the Hon. Wil• iant Chisholm and three other me- mber of the former Liberal Govern- ment were returned. It is evident that Premier Rhodes mistook the temper of the electors, Nova Scotia has always been good fighting ground, and has always tak- en its politics seriously. In 1925, the electors punished the Liberal Government for what they believed were .derelictions of duty on - ite part, and overwhelmingly endorsed the Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Successive Liberal Governments had been in power in Nova Scotia for more than 40 years, with the result that proba- bly the Liberal party had become stale. The electors believed that it was time for a thorough change. Judging from the results of the eht- ction yesterday a large section of the province returned to its old political love. The record of the Rhodes Government was generally believed) to be favorable, and, strong in this confidence, the Premier appealed to the electors two years before the expiration of his term. This was probably a mistake, as three years was evidently too short a period in which to consolidate his Government. Foraunately for the. Premier, the new legislation which was passed obviates the necessity of the new ministers standing for re-election, and he will probably be able to carry on the affairs of the Government, even with this narrow majority. Then reverse of the Rhodes' Government shows the doubtful wisdom of pass- ing legislation of this character. it is probable that, if the ministers of the Government had to stand for re- election, some of them would be defeated, as four of them were in the election yesterday. On the other hand, in British Columbia, where the Liberal Government was com- pletely routed, and the Conservative party established hi power with an overwhelming majority, every one of the ministers was returned by ac- clamation. Undoubtedly the law re- quiring re-election represents the more democratic principle.

In eight feet of water, they effect- ed their escape from certain drown- ing by clingbing through the windows of the ear and today, uninjured, they are recovering from shock and the memory of their harrowing experi- ence. According to highway Traffic Officer Lemon, who investigated the accident, the large sedan was re- turning from Niagara Falls to Sea - forth, about 12.30 o'clock this morn- ing', when the acident occurred. Occupants of the car state that they were just approaching the western end of the bridge when a car coming behind them attempted to pass and they turned sharply to the right to give more room on the narrow bridge. The riht front wheel of the car struck the first post on the guard rail at the bridge entrance, causing the ear to swerve to the right. It crashed through the heavy cable guard, smashing one post and up- rooting three others as it plunged downward into the river. Men Made Rescue. Thown about inside the car in thefew seconds that seemed almost an eternity, the occupants were al- most certain of death when the car turned a complete somersault and came to a stop in the river bed. Only the fact that it remainded upright in the water saved their lives. Al though completely submerged, the three men forced an escape through the doors and then smashed the windows of the car to rescue Mrs. Charters. William Charters SUS - tabled minor cuts about the hand :n the rescue attempt. Aside from this the four escaped with only a severe shaking up. This morning a score of more man assisted in bringing the car to the surface and back on the highway. It was in a badly damaged condi- tion. In New Hamburg the four occu- pants o! the car were reported as almost fully recovered from the shock this afternoon. They 0(121 likely be able to leave tonight for Seaforth, where Charles Mason, the car driver, was vlsiting with the Charters family.
