The Result of Making
Sensational Statments
At a meeting of Presbytery of the
United Church, held in Toronto last
week, Mr. M. A. Sorsoleil, Deputy
Minister of the Provincial Welfare
Department, gave an address in the
course of which he is alleged to have -
made some sensational statements
bearing on the morality of school
children.
As a result of these statements Mr.
Sorsoleil has been suspended from
office by Premier Hepburn, and we
are inclined to the belief that the
Premier took the right course in the
matter.
If conditions, in or out of our
Schools, are as Mr. Sorsoleil painted
them, we would say that as a Deputy
Minister, in the employment of the
Government, it was his plain duty to
report the situation to the Govern-
ment, who had power to deal with it
instead of to a body of ministers who
had not,no matter how nearly, the
_subject may have touched them.
However, that was certainly not
the viewpoint taken by Dr. George
A. Little, a prominent minister of the
United Church, and " editor of the
Sunday School publications, who on
-.learning of the Deputy Minister's
•auspension, published another sensa-
tional statement.
And this statement was in effect:
• "Just let a Border City Russian Jew
dismiss a life-long Christian worker
like Mr. Sorsoleil, and Mr. Hepburn
will find he is dealing not only with
a Deputy Minister but with the Unit -
1 Church of Canada." The Border
City RtiSsian Jew having reference
to lion. David Croll, the minister in
-charge of Mr. Sorsoleil's department.
That is a strong as well as a dan-
gerous statement, because it contains
seed of racial and religious warfare,
which have, or should have no place
in Ontario or in Canada. And had a
similar statement been made by a
minister of half the prominence in
another denomination, the heather
would already be ablaze across the
continent.
Dr. Little, the author of the state-
ment, it might be explained, was one
of the C. C. F. candidates who also
ran in a Toronto riding at the recent
provincial general elections, and per-
haps, on that account, some latitude
should be allowed him for his 'fervid
expressions. Evidently the political
heat is still in his blood.
• Possibly under these conditions Dr.
Little saw in the incident an oppor-
tunity to capture Premier Hepburn's
political hide as well as that of his
Minister of Public Welfare, which to
him at the time, was more import-
ant than their souls.
Fortunately for all concerned, the
Moderator of the General Council of
the United Church, Right Rev. Rich-
• ard Roberts, differs in calibre as well
as opinion from his colleague, and in
a .public statement the Moderator
said:
"I deeply regret the incident and
desire" to assure 'Hon. David Croll
that I, disassociate myself entirely -
from any sentiment which would
seem t� east contempt upon those of
another race- 'dr *creed, particularly
on any of that faith to which historic
• Christiandom owes sq much. In this,
ft is my judgment that I speak the
mind of the people of the United
• Church of Canacla."-
that -is a frank, dignified state-
' tient,- and coming from a man of Dr.
obert'sr wide knowlege, supreme
and Christian forbearance,-
,.6Vient. that will t4:Nliev-
But the whole incident just goes to
show the harm that might easily re-
sult from the making of sensational
statements. -
Paying Taxes by the Month
The suggestion comes from the
•Mayor of the City of Hamilton, that
municipal taxes be paid by the month
instead of by the year as most muni-
cipalities collect them at present.
It is not a bad suggestion either,
• and -one -that town and township
fathers might take under considera-
• tion. .
Generally- speaking, any one can
make a payment of a nickel, -but the
payment of several hundred nickels
at one time, bothers quite a few of
us in these present times.
• Hydro rates, water rates, rent and
other dues are paid by the month.
Why not taxes?
Even if one were forced to skip a
month or two now and again, the
burden would not be so heavy at the
end of the year, and the amount of
unpaid taxes might not loom so large
either.
And the payment of taxes by the
month would provide municipalities
with ready money; save them bor-
rowing; save them interest. It might
even teach them to -live within their
means.
Of course taxes never were a pop-
ular subject of conversation, but any-
thing that would make their pay-
ment more painless would be welcom-
ed.
Why not talk it over a bit?

A New Sign of an Open Winter
An Expositor subscriber informed
us a short time ago that the amazing
growth of the fall wheat in this sec-
tion was a sure sign of an open win-
ter.
We hope that subscriber is . as
right as he was positive. We would
welcome' an open winter and farmers
would welcome a bumper wheat
crop. •
Likewise the farmers would wel-
come a price anything over the dol-
lar mark for this bumper crop of
wheat, even more than an open win-
ter.
But give ear. Wouldn't you wel-
come any kind of winter that was
less severe than the last one?
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
• Adventurous Spirits Offer
Themselves Freely
(Toronto Mail and Em,pire)
The love of adventure in Canada is unques-
tionably not dead. The energy displayed by our
mien in, enlisting for overseas during the war
rteetified to the fact that this spirit was bustl-
ing brightly. The tales of the expeditions to
Coco8 Island, seeking lost treasure and more re-
cently of the Badeaux party in crossing .Northern
British 'Col u mbi a mountains to Telegraph Inlet
by tractor, hear also indisputable evidence that
dauntless souls are still to be found in the Do-
minion. A strong appeal is made by mountain
aviationand other tests of the mettle
of those who allow themselves such aspirations.
Although they do not all come out of the West,
as the poet sang of old, we still have the Loch-
invars, who sally forth endeavoring to capture
their fair one. To this, eleven letters that have
been received by The Mail and Empire the past
few days, aeriply certify. A few days ago we
published a New Brunswick despatch to the ef-
fect that a lady, 27, in funds, was offering her
hand in marriage to "a nice, respectable young
man" Barkis has proved willing in eleven cas-
es so far. These adventuirous saints are evi-
dently) not loath to stake their lives and happi-
ness.

Too Much and Too Little
(Stratford Bea conallera Id )
'Seems strange how stories get placed in news-
paper columns. Yesterday there was the report
of how a chain store had adopted the -part-time
method of engaging girls, and it was 'related
how in different cities many of these 'girls were
making about $350 per week under a. system
which permitted th:eim: to accept no other work
even if such had been offered.
In the next colum.-n it was related that Nancy
Leiter is attending sch,00l, at Middlebury, Conn.,
and will not be able to go to Chicago for several
weeks yet although there is a cheque of $1,300a
000 waiting for her there.
It is also added that Nancy is not feeling the
pinch as she has an allowance of $5,000 a month
from her grandfather's estate.
It does not call for the use of a bottle of ink,
a pen and a desk to see the difference between
$6,000 'a month •anda$3.60 per week. One is too
much and the 'otherais shamelessly too little.

S. S. LESSON FOR DECEMBER and
Lesson Topic—The Christian as Wit-
Lessnonessassage-1 Thessalonians 1:
1-10.
Golden Text—Acts 1:8.
Thessalonica, now called Salonika,
was in the first century of our era a
large and flourishing city. It was
an important commercial centre with
a mixedi. population of Greeks, Rom-
ans and Jews. The, latter were num-
erous enough to have a synagogue of
their own, and we can infer frolrn the
Books of Acts (17:4) that it was fre-
quented by many of the better spir-
its among the Gentiles also..
To this city the Apostle Paul came,
attended by Silas and Timothy, in the
course of his second missionary jour-
ney. He kaad just left Phillippi, dear-
est to his heart of all his chnaches;
for there more than anywhere else•
had he suffered for Christ's sake. He
came to Thessalonica with bodily in-
juries siiui very Ivisible; but to 'him
they were the marks on Jeans, tok-
ens that the Lord was taking hiirru in-
to fellowship with Himself, and bind-
ing him more closely to His service.
It was but a small company he gath-
ered together and it was what we'd
call a working-class congregatian.
The jealously of the Jews compelled
Paul and his companions: to leave af-
ter a very short stay. It was his
-natural anxiety for these inexperi-
enced disciples exposed as they now
were to the hatred of his and their
enemies, that caused him to write
this letter. It is, in all probability,
the earliest of the New Testaiment
writings; if we except the decree in
Acts 15, it is the earliest piece of
Christian. writings in eristenee. (The
date cannot be precisely assigned, but
it is not later than 54 AD., and can-
not be so early as 52). ,
The letter begins with -greetings
from Paul and Sil-wanus, and Time-
theus, unto the church of the Thes-
salonians winch is in God the Father
and in the Lord Jesus 'Christ. No
such address had ever been written
or read before, for the comlinunity ta
which it was directed was a new
thing in the world. • This newness
and otiginality of Christianity could
nob fail to impress those Who first
received it. Nothing could be more
revolutionary in those days than to
became a 'Onristian; old things pain-
ed away; all things became new; all
things were determined by the new
relearn to God and His Son.
lin those days and in the Raman
Empire, there was not Much room
for the social instincts tad expartd.
Particularly was this, true for that
great mass of population from which
the church was so largely recruited,
namely the slaves. Any Tower that

est want of the time, and was sure
of a welcome. Such a power was the
gospel preached by Paul. It formed
little commuaties o± men_and avornen
wherever .it 'Was, proclaiined;
aom-
munities in which there Was no larai'i
but that of love.. It was to such Paul'
wrote this letter; and it was for
these new Christians that they
thanked God, naming them in his
pragers as also did his two friends.
Paul lived for Christ, and for the
_charches of Christ; it was literal
truth, when he said: ,"This one thing
I do." He makes mention of the
graces by which • these men were
showing forth their new relationship
to God in Christ Jesus—"work of
faith and labor of love and patience
of hope." They were not hearers
only; they became imitators -.of their
teachers and of the Lord', "having re-
ceived the word in much affliction,
with joy of the Holy Ghost." Their
light was not hid under a bushel, for
t ey became examples to others and
e knowledge of them was spread
abroad. They did not only tell of
their new experiences but they suf-
fered for their faith. The accept-
ance of the gospel 'by the Thessalon-
ians brought them into fellowship
with the Lord, and, with those who
continued His work—brought them in-
to much affliction, with joy of the
Holy Ghost. That is a summary of
the life of Christ; the Apostle of the
Father. It is a surnimery of the life
of Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ.
The acceptance of the gospel meant
much affliction far him: "I will show
him how great thing -he must suf-
fer for My name's sake. (Acts 9:-16).
It meant also a new and superna-
tural joy, arising from and sustain-
ed by the Illioly Spirit, a joy trium-
phant in and over all sufferings. This
combination of affliction and - joy,
Paul says, was the token of election.
There is always a cross; there is al-
ways something to bear or to over-
come far rightersnesn saike; and
the Spirit in which it is met tells
whether God is with us or not. Not
every age is, like the apostolic, an
age of open persecution, of spoiling
of goods, of bond and scourging and
death, but the following of Christ
will surely be marked out in some
way for each believer; and it is a
seal of election to that high calling
when men rejoice that they are count-
ed worthy to suffer shame for His
name. PI never knew," said Ruther-
ford, "by any nine years' preaching,
so much of Christ's love as He hath
taught -me in Aberdeen, by six months
imprisonment." It is a joy that they
may be true to Christ. Think of the
Christian boys in Uganda, in 18,Kr,
wko were bound alive to a scaffold-
ilia- and slowly burned to death. In
the Life of Bishop Hannington the
following, is recorded: The spirit of
the martyrs at once entered into these
la,c1s, and !together they raised their
voices and praised Jesus in the tire,
singing:
"Daily, daily, sing to Jesus,
Sing, my soul, His praises due,
All He does deserves our praise,
And our deep devotion, too,
for in d•eeP
He for us did live below;
Died on •Calvaryn cross of torture,
Rose to save our •souls from : woe."
;Who can doubt that these three are
amorg.the'bhosen of •God? And who
can think of such scenes, and such e.
epirit, and recall without miegfraing
the querulous, fretful, aggrieved tone
of hie owls, I* a, 'When things, have

Must Leave "Kettles"
An interesting court case decisidia
was given at Sarnia the other day,.
when a Grand Bend man was fine&
for removing a "kettle" froth Kettle
Point. The offence was not, as one
might suppose, the despoiling of a -
natural enriosity, but a violation of
the law which protects Indian re-
serves. It is said that thonsands of
stones of the peculiar "kettle" for-
mation have been removed from the
Point, which has thus been robbed of
one of its chief attractions for visa -
tors„ Presumably snore kettlea will
form in course of time, but the gro-
cesa is a very slow one. (Should there
not be a general law ,protecting na-
tural phenolniena, wherever they May
Ire from the hands of the vandals?—
