By 'PM" If some one were to weken us in the morning with the authoritative announcement that Christ was com- ing that day just what would we say or do? To..many now living it would mean nothing for even in our own country there are 'aiuntlese numbers who have no interest whatever in the Saviour Who died for us. There are many children whoe'Eave never laeen taught to go to ,God's House and who do not know anything. about Him. It seems impossible that such a statement amid he tree but neverthelees it is. Their parents before them have long since ceased to attend His House of Worship and consequently have had no inclination to have their children know anything about Him. They for. get that their family has been given them by God in order that they might be taught to love Him and if parents do not thus teach their children they will have to answer for it before His judgment seat, That group of people would in all probability just go an their daily route with no thought of what the future might hold for them. We may rest assured that arose who deny Him here would either go On their way and defiantly enter Eternity to meet a God who would prove to then that there is a God and also that there is a place prepared for those who will not accept Hun, or ere it is too late they would turn from their Miss amil as ithe thief on the cross at the last Minute would pray for pard- on, which God has promised to all who ask for At. Then there are those who would receive the anesssage with a great deal of joy. They have long been looking for the ,coming of the Master and the time intervening between the announcement and His arrival would be filled with rejoicing. There would ,be those Who had been considering a. change in their lives and who had ften thought of accept- ing Him as their personal Saviour but had not yet set their house in order. A noted English writer who had Jong passed the alotted .span of life said that he must prepare to go on as, he could not have much more time here. A. friend asked hire just what lie meant by preparing, "Well Said the elderly gentleman "I must go through my papers and discard any whieh will be of no use after I have gone and must keep my desk tidied and get my affairs settled.", "Is that all" enquired his friend "The answer was yes" for the old gentle- man had no thought of any hereafter.

Thompson • F. A. MacDougall Mintifer Depuly-Alinitier that some time before God calls him he or any others like hint, may by some means meet Jeans Christ and get their spiritual affairs straighten- ed oat,. It is indeed a very gracious act on the part of our Saviour that even in our last moments He will forgive our sins and we vvill'have the glad assur- ance of spending eternity with Him. Our sins will all be put behind Him and He will welcome us to His Heaven- ly Realm, The Archbishop of Canten- bury Speaking in one of our citiee emPhasized that fact. We may go to film in the elosing years of our life but after all His goodness to us who would want to go empty handed? Who would want ;to stand before Him alone with no One to say "fie or she spohe the words to me which led me to Christ" or ,"The example which he or she showed me by their Christ ian' Life was the means of bringing me into the fold". If we cannot bring anyone then come alone but let us do all in our power to lead others to Him. Every hour of every day we plai for the future but we who are living in this age know that the next morn ent may not be ours. There were many tragedies in the destruction by floe of the 22 storey Hotel La Salle in •Chicago a short time ago. A few minutes before the. fire started a Chicago business man telephoned his wife from the hote and said he was playing bridge with friends and would be home as soon as they had finished the hand they were playing, By the time that was over he was a prisoner encircled by unvel- entless flames. So often we are go- ing to do things after this or that but by that time we may be in Etern- ity Christ may have come or He may have sent His angel of death for us. "To-cley if ye hear His voice, harden not your heart" "Behold", now is the accepted time; behold now is the day V salvation" The word is "now" not si minute from now nor an hour nor yet to -morrow. Time is not ours, the future belongs to Eternity, but "now" is ours, let us not put off this all important question, No one an settle It for us, it is a matter between us and God. If we do not spend Eternity with Him we have no one to blame but ourselves and no matter how we would like to accuse some one else of being the means of keeping us from giving our lives to Jesus, Christ, the Master of the universe, will hold us individually responsible. People seine - times say, "If so-and-so, is a Christ, ian I certainly want tone of that". We slinelY say that because we are afraid or ashamed to take an out and out stand for Him, but that excuse -will not save us from the doom which will be ours, when, if we do not accept Him, our sentence will be "Depart from me, I never knew you". What a terrible condemnation that will be, but if it is our lot we will certainly deserve it! If we knew we were to receive that summons we would spend little time looking over our bank account or thinking of \validly things for we would kno.‘v that by the end of the day all that would be useless. We have been so busy gathering mater- ial for our earthly home that we have had little time to send anything on to prepare our heavenly home. Our place of abode there will be made up only of what we send. No bouse here can be built without material and the same applies to our hut or mansion there. A minister speaking recently told of being in a place where a Bible was needed. It was so covered with dust that he left his finger priuts on it. If we knew that Christ was coming would we have to dust off His Holy Word before we could read it? Let us keep a copy of His Bible close beside us. May it be our constant companion and guide. Accustom ourselves to His promises so that we can recall them at once, not only for our own comfort but also for that of others. The fleeting hours will be all too few. The artist Crane in his picture "The Chariots of the Fleeting Hours" 464 ...one of the least of these my brethren..? Reconstructing lives is the Salvation Army's job— and yours We cannot suffer little ones, denied their birthright by folly or neglect, to face a hopeless future, Canada needs all her citizens. Reclamation of broken lives is a "reconstruction" job. Remember Him who said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Wherever there is an unfortunate child, an unwed mother, a prisoner anxious to "go straight", a wastrel for whom there is hope, an old man or old woman whom life has cast aside . . there YOU can help in building a better Canada. After war, the need for reconstruction in The Army's work on the Home Front is pressing. Give generously.

Our time is rapidly passing. Each day we are growing older and our journey here is one day less. Age does not count in the order in which we are called. Om last day on Earth will come whether we are ready for it or not and if we are to spend Eternity with Him we must fill our hours and days with work for Him just'as we would if we realized that before nightfall we would be called before His judg- ment seat. How do we know this is not our last day on Earth? If Jesus should call us before the sun sets would we be ready or would we be found want- ing? WHAT WOULD HE SAY? .Ife should come to -day And find my hands so full Of future plans, however fair, In whieh my Saviour has no share What would He say? If He should come to -day And find my love so cold My faith so very weak and dim I had not even looked for Him, What would He spy? If He should come to -day And find I had not told One soul about my Heavely Friend, Whose blessings all my way attend, What would He say? If He should come to -day, Would I be glad - quite glad?
