'Three Cabinet Ministers And Eight Others Resign. London—Denouncing the whole policy of the Imperial Economic 'Conference at. Ottawa as "imperilling 'the unity of the Empire", three Cab- inet Ministers and eight other Min- isters resigned from the National •Government. Viscount Snowden, of Ickornshaw, severing forty years' close associa- `•tion with Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, was outspoken in de- munciation of the proceedings at Ot- tawa and . the agreements resulting, .as he resigned from the Cabinet, in company with Sir Herbert Samuel, Home Secretary, and Sir Archibald Sinclair, Secretary for Scotland. -More Trouble in the State of Manchukuo 1Vlukden, Manchuria—The newly .created State of Manchukuo appar- ently was helpless against an upris- ing in Northwestern Manchuria, af- ter the insurgent Chinese General, Su Pingwen, had seized the key town of Manchuli, on the Manchurian - Russian border, An undetermined number of Man- chukuo troops, described here as many, were killed on Tuesday, when General Su's artillery destroyed four barracks, and apparently seized the town, together with near -by villages. The . uprising created a delicate situation on the border, involving four elements — the Japanese, the Soviets, Manchukuo, and the insur- gents. Manchukuo authorities apparently were unable to take' any definite Pope Protests Mexican Activities Rome—Pope Pius XI met whathe called the new and "legal persecu- tion" of the church and Catholics in Mexico with an encyclical announc- ing a policy of "formal co-operation" without renouncing principles in the slightest degree or withdrawing past denunciations. Instead, he revived his protest dir- ected particularly at the varied ap- plication of the laws limiting the number of priests in each state to from one for each 33,000 people to one for each 100,000. "To approve such an iniquitous law, or to give it spontaneously a true and real co-operation," he said, "is undoubtedly forbidden and sacri- legious; but absolutely different is the case of him who subjects . him- seI£ to such an unjust prescription only against his will and protest and who! does all he can to diminish the unhappy law." Rev. Dr. T. A. Moore Elected Moderator Hamilton—Accorded a clear ma- jority over the two other candidates, Rev. Dr. T. Albert Moore of Tor- onto, General Secretary of the Unit- ed Church of Canada, was elected as Moderator for the next two years at a session of the General Council in the First United Church. The retiring Moderator, Dr. E. H. Oliver, voiced a plea for harmony: between the United Church and the continuing Presbyterians. The Unit- ed . Church, he asserted, would not quarrel over the use of the word "Presbyterian." Dr. Oliver, in relinquishing the of- fice to Dr. Moore, said: "You ,sir, will be under a tremendous disadvan- tage in your new 'office because we who have preceded you all had T. Albert Moore at our side. What you will do without him at your side is something I don't know." Train up your' children for God, and give thein back to, God, and leave them, with God to work his will. Such is the secret of Christian edu- cation. And itis parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the pass - over. Attendance at the passover in Jerusalem wasrequired by law of every male adult Jew, hut not of the women. It was a mark of Mary's special piety that she always accom- panied her husband.' And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast. Every parent sho'ttld count it part of his sacred responsi- bility to set before his child the high privilege and solemn obliagtion of church membership. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning. Some went home after the first two days, but Joseph and Mary were there for the love of it and not merely as a perfunctory duty. The boy Jesus. tarried behind .in Jerusalem; and his. parents knew it not. This shows that Mary and Joseph were in the habit of giving Jesus considerable freedom —well knowing that he could be trusted: Birt supposing him to be in the company. Pilgrims from. one village travelledt'together, and Mary and Jo- seph thought that Jesus was with some ' relative or neighbor. They went a day's journey. That would take them probably to Beeroth, six miles north of Jerusalem. And they sought for him among their kin- folk and acquaintance. When they are preparing to camp for the night, Joseph leaves the men, passes over to where the women are, and asks Mary where Jesus is. `Is he not with you men?' she asks anxiously. `No, I thought he must be with you.' Then how alarmed they are, and what searching there is through the camp !" And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. Mary and Joseph knew at least that the soul of their boy was safe, and every parent should make this certainty his first aim for his child, before any worldly gain or progress whatever. And it came to pass, after three days. One day spent or the north- ward journey, one day on the return, and one day in the search for the boy. They found him in the temple. Doubtless he had spent there every possible minute during the stay in Jerusalem. Sitting in the midst of the teachers. It was probably in some chamber on the edge of the temple court or in some porch or cloister used for public teaching dur- ing the feasts. Both hearing them, and asking them questions. No one can ever reach the heart of a child unless he listens to his . questions sympathetically, and talks with him perfectly frankly concerning the things that matter most in this world and the next, And all that heard him were am- azed at his understanding and his answers. Evidently not 'only did Jesus question the teachers, but they questioned him, for he was plainly a rare spirit, a lad of far more than usual native intelligence. And when they saw him. "They —refers, of course, to Mary and Jo- seph. They were astonished. They had not realized what had been go- ing on in the mind of Jesus, and were unprepared to find him able to converse on such terms with emin- ent 'doctors of the law. Many a child is thus underestimated by those who are closest to him and should know most about him. And his mother said unto him. Mary spoke rather than Joseph, as having been most an- xious about the boy, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? "Why did you treat us so?" Behold, thy fath- er and I have sought thee sorrowing. "We have been looking for you with aching hearts." A true picture of' the constant and wearing trials that af- lict parents when they misunderstand their children. And he said unto them, Prow is it that ye sought me? "What :teed was there of any search for me? Did you not know where I must be found?" Knew ye not that I must be' in my Father's house? There first recorded words of Jesus are el- liptical in the Greek: "I must be in the (things) of my Father." They. can be adequately. translated; "In my Father's house," or, as in the King James Bible, "about my.. Father's business," And they understood not the say- ing which he spake unto them. Per- haps the er-haps'the commonest cause of sorrow in the home is the failure of the par- ents to understand children and of children to understand parents. And he went down with Mem.

It is not a chaos, but a well - ordered, heaven -appointed institution, And his mother kept all these say- ings (or "things" as in the margin) in her heart. Mary is mentioned. here, without Joseph, partly because of her unique t'elation to Jesus, part- ly because mothers remember long- est the details of • their children's lives, and partly because Joseph was evidently much older than Mary and passed away before Jesus grew.- up. And Jesus advanced in wisdom; and stature. This verse runs nearly par- allel with verse 40, though the word translated "stature" may mean "age." And in favor with God. and men. God's favor ("the grace of God". verse 40) involves rnan's favor as well. The shortest path. to popular- ity is 'a life that is filled with the love of • God. RELIGION IN THE HOME. Now as they went on their way. This verse places us near the close of Christ's public ministry, about three months before the crucifixion. He entered into a certain village. The. village was Bethany, on the. eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, And a certain woman named Martha received hint unto her house. She ap- pears to have been the oldest of the family and Lazarus the youngest. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet. This was the customary position of a pu- pil before a teacher.. And heard his word. Mary was drinking in eager- ly every wordof Jesus, and he dis- coursed with unequalled wisdom about the things of eternal life. But Martha was cumbered about meth serving. Who has not seen some overbusy housewife giving a perfect illustration of the scene? And she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leaveme to serve alone? Martha displays no reverence for the Master, but implies a rebuke, to the effect that he should have seen how things were going, but had taken no heed of Martha's overburdened con- dition. Bid her therefore that sh help me. Martha dares even to issue a command to the Son of God! To such a pass will anger bring one. But the Lord answered and said unto her. Christ's answer is a rebuke' but howl tactfully, tenderly, and lov- ingly the rebuke is administered! How different from Martha's spitfire outburst! Martha, Martha. Our Lord was evidently accustomed thus to re- peat proper names on occasions of gentle exhortation, such as "Simon, Simon" (Luke 22:31), and "Saul, Saul," (Acts 9:4. Thou art anxious and troubled about many things. "Troubled" means "bustling" that type of worried activity which ac- complishes so much less than quiet, gentle, and methodical labor. But one thing is needful. There are many things you think you need, but Jesus Christ says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His right- eousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." For Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her. We are not told the end of this story, but I think Martha also sat down quiet- ly, and each forgot the other's faults in remembering their Lord, ►utstan- ing 'aIue- �AIw y$ "Fresh from the Gardens" the farm. of Mr. Herbert Fenton at the north end of town on Friday, Oc- tober 21st.
