This new • act, which came into effeet the beginning of the year is a consilicla- lion of such traffic laws as The Motor Vehicles Act, the Load of Vehicles, and the Highway Travel Act, A few of the more important parts are briefly summarized as follows: "The speed limits are the same as before, vis,, 2:5 miles an hour in the country and 20 milein cities, towns and villages, with limits of to and yea miles an hour in corporations and in the country respectively, past inter- sections—where the view is obsceirecl, Notwithstanding the speed • limits stated above, anyone who drives a motor vehicle recklessly or neglegent- ly or in a manner dangerous to the public .is liable to maximum penalty of $2oo, shall be liable to imprison- ment up to 6o days, and may have the car cancelled for a period not greater than six months. Where a speed greeter than 4o miles an hour is made the offended is subject to 'the same penalities and magistrates have no option other than to treat it as reckless driving. Tail lights shall be of at least four candle power and are required to pro- perly illuminate the numbet plate. When cars are standing on the road, one light carried on the left side will be allowed if it is clearly visible for a distance of eoo feet from the front and rear and shows white in front and red to the rear. • Brakes are subject to inspection by police officials, and if not in good or- der the police may order the driver to have them properly adjusted. • No flames or clamps are allowed on Wheels, which may in any way injure the road. • No vehicles which -with their loads weigh more than To tons can use -the roads -without special permits. • Such permits may be granted by the auth- orities having control of the roads such as villages, towns, cities, town- ships, counties and the Department of Highways. Up to December 31, 5925, motor trucks which, with their loads exceed eo tons in weight, and which were previously registered in Ontario, may receive special • permits to carry a maximum load of five tons, After January 1, 106, motor trucks with their loads must not weigh more than eight- tons. All vehicles with tires less than six inches in width must not have a greater load on any wheel than will exert a pressure of aeq pounds for each inch in width, •- Motor trucks must not carry a load greater than that for which, they are registered. All vehicles while carrying loads, extending over the rear for more than five feet, must carry a red flag by day and a red light at night attached to the rear of the load. • Bicycles are required to carry red lamps or reflectors at the rear. Spotlights will be permitted, pro- yided they are stationary and are at- tached to the left of the motor ve- hicle, with the light directed to the left hand side striking the road with- in 75 feet in 'front of the vehicle. Movable spotlights are not allowed. Probably the most outstanding change in the Act is that providing for the recording of convictions on the permit issued' for motor vehicles and for the cancellation of the permits on three convictions for certain of- fenses. Permit cards will have space provided on them for the re- cording of convictions and motorists who are summened will be required to present these in court in order that the magistrates may endorse them. ,The amount of the fines, and the can- cellation of _permits, in many cases, depend on the number of convictions and the 'above procedure is tecessary - in order that the magistrates may The learcst idol 1 have known, Whateer that is be, Help me to tear it from the throne And worship only Thee.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR April x3th., 19e4 Leseon Title—Elijah and the Strug- gle with Baal. Lesson Passage—r Kings 18:20-24, 36-39. Ahab, the 6th king of Israel, reign- ed in Samaria twenty-two years and i'he did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him." This is attributed in part to the in- fluence his wife Jezebel, daughter of the king of Tyre, had over bim. He permitted her to introduce from her own land the worship of Baal and soon it was noticed. he went and serv- ed. Baal. He heat a house for lain, reared an. altar in the house and made a grove, as did the heathen whom God drove out of Canaan to make room • for the Israelites after brieg- ing them out of Egypt. He had then expressly . commanded thein they should not do as these heathen; but now we read "that Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him." Thus the worship of Baal became popular, being pro- moted and protected by the King• But God was still speaking to the people through his prophets and try- ing to bring them back to serve the one living and true God; so Elijah ap- pears as though dropped from heaven in the same wonderful way he as- cended, for there is no mention of his family other than the designation of the "Tishbite." It would seem from the abruptness of his message to the king on his first appearance before lean that he had been, previous to this utterance, denouncing the iniquity oe king and people alike and warning theni of the consequence should they persist in doing reverence to idols and in, particular to the sun-god. Baal. He ended his direful denunciation by a solemii oath, 'As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew or rain these years, (three and a half years, James 5:17) but according to my word." During these years Elijah was in hid- ing, according to God's dieections, and being cared for miraculously. The long famine failed to draw Ahab and his subjects from theira idolatrous practices. God gave them another opportunity of repenting and return- ing to Himself. According tothe word of the Lord, Elijah returned to Israel and stood once again in the presence of -Ahab. On seeing the prophet whom he had sought for ev- erywhere, standing before him Ahab • cried out, "Art thou he that troubleth Israel?" Elijah flung , back the charge, "I have not troubled Israel; but thou and •thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the command- ments of the Lord, and thou hast fol- "erresdesBaa1i1nVI9-25----'The Challenge Elijah meet make one great public effort to reclaim his people from apos- tasy and so he requested Ahab to ex- ercise his authority and call an as- sembly to Mount Carmel and there let the controversy, whether the king or the prophet was Israel's troubler, be decided. Whatever was the secret motive tact deciaed ajteb to accept 17 4. the challenge tlie. result curected aglow how matiy tirOViont convictietie was by God. As Baal was the stm-god have been made. At the sante time fire would be a power over which he magistrates report convictions to the Minister of Highways who in.ay at any time for misconduct or for viola- tions of the provisions of the Act or any regulations thefe under suspend or cancel any permit or license. A new provision in the Act that motorists will appreciate is the limit of ten days required for the serving of summonses. In the past anneces- sary time has elapsed between. the of- fence and the serving of the summon- ses. The limit of ten days may, how - even, be extended by magistrates in cases where. it is evident that offend- rs could hot be served or were in- tentionally avoiding service of sum- monses. . • A limitation has also been, placed on the time during which civil action by motor vehicles may be taken. In the past action could be brought at for reeovery of damages occasioned any time, long after details of the al- leged injury were forgotteii and long after witnesses could be retained. The new Act provides that no action shall be brought after six months followina the 'damage, ••-i • • - • All garaget must obtain licensee from the Department of Highwieys and must keep a record, eid must re- port to the Department all motor ve- hicles bought, sold, or wrecked by them within six days. They are also required to report all cars or trucks which remain on their premises for more than two weeks without good reason. The new Act has been published in a convenient booklet form and will be mailed on applitation to the Ontario Department . of Public Highways, Motor Vehicle Branch, I-lialiway Ad-: ministration Building, University Ave. Toronto. • DIED McKee—IiiCorrie, on Monday, Mar. eettla 5924, William MeKee, in this 79th year.

He spoke of himself as being alone, a small party against a mighty host but one with God made a mighty instrument in the over- throwing of evil. With this as his staying power he gave directors that two bullocks were to be slain, and laid 'upon separate altars, the one for Baal, the other for Jehovah, and whichever. shbuld be consumed by fire must decide whose the people of Israel were, and whom they should worship. Tire -people agreed to this saying. "It is well spoken." No doubt some of them could recall occa- sions in the former history of God's people when he .answered by fire as in the case of Gidoott asking for a sign that if he went tip against the Midianites he would conquer. "The angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay. them apcin this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his amid, and touched the flesh and the upleavend cakes; Elact allaaa maa Bro. out uf the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes." (Judges 6: 20-21). Elijah allowed the prophets 'of Baal four hundred and fifty of them, to make the trial first. In vain they called saying, "0, Bata, hear us." They did not cease their fforte tuttiI the time of the evening sacrifice but wheit no voice, nor any answer, nor any that regarded was forthcoming, they gave way to Elijah, who ealled the people to draw near and watch his every movement. When his pre- parations were all made he prayed that God would vindicate Himself and, his propaet. "Lord God of Ab- raham, Isaac and Israel, let • it be known this day that thou art God in Israel., and that am thy servant, and that have done all these 'things at thy word.

For in these regions there is a marked prevelance of simple goitre, always disfiguring and later leading sometimes to seri- ous consequences late hi life.

WORLD MISSIONS Dogs Greater Than Gods One day when Zalim Singh, a Christian convert, was" crossing -the Ganges in the same boat with two Brahmans, they began to reproach him for having become a Christian: What do you know, you igeorant fellow, of your own religion or of Christianity?" Zalim replied: "What you have said, pundits about my ignorance is all true; but whether I have acted foolishly in ceasing to worship my "thakur" (household. idol). is another thing. bad_ a capital god at my house; he was beautifully, made and cost me some money, for the man who made him was a skilful workman, and I paid him handsoniely. But look here pundits, suppose I had my "thakur" here in this boat, and in my right hand I took my 4'tha- kur" and in ray left hand this little dog, and cast thene both in the Gan- ges, what would become of them?" The pundits were silent; but the • people said.: "Why, the god being of stone would sink, and the dog would swim ashore." "If so," the Christian replied, "then the dog must be greater than the god, for he can save hiniself, which the .God cannot do!" • Do not expect me,pundits, to w6- ship a god i which is inferiorto a clog, No! I will no longer worship a stone, but I will worship Him who made the stone. 1 worship the Lord Jesus, who died foe me, and Him only will I serve." • • He knew that the service of Jesus was one of peace and joy, for Jesus says, "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me.
