INTRODUCTION—No body of thought-

forces in service and"worship without
sooner or later experiencing some
shades of difference in opinion and
conduct.' Human nature is very var-

traditions. Others are eager for.

L.THE POINT AT ISSUE, 1-3.
V. I. The difficulty arose out of the
forward step taken when the offer of
the gospel was made to the Gentiles.
It had already been decided that mem-
bership in the church was open to all
'those who came in .faith. But the
method in which.this was to be done
had not yet been settled. Some claimed
that the Gentiles should receive cif<.
cumeisibn and observe all the laws • of
the Jewish people. This was the atti
tude of the Pharisaic party, who ewe
dently had sent down their represen-
tatives to the church at ,Antioch. A

vailed, this
re-vailed,'this became a denial of the uni-
versal mission of Jesus.
V. 2. The teaching of these emis-
saries came like a thunderbolt to the
new church' at Antioch and created a

Canada's Treaties
By R. J. Deachman,
This is the open season for Trade
Treaties. Minister of Finance Robb
has put through a few, more. ' Finan-
cial experts on the ether side of the

far fetched. The•fountains of .the

cause we increase either our exports

vakia, Esthonia or Portugal.
Our Trade Treaties.
We have made a number of Trade
Treaties in the past andthey seem
to have done some good. Our trade
with those countries is in a really
prosperous condition. Canada has
treaties or has admitted to treaty
privileges, France, Belgium, Holland
and Italy, and a number of others.
The United States, on the other hand,
has a stand -and deliver tariff: No
concessions are made to anybody.
They. work on the theory that the.
foreigner pays the tariffs. Mr. Dooley,
exploded that long ago When he sald:.

must be absolutely a part of France,

Mr. Poincara has busied himself re-
