You Can Never Tell..
You can never tell about Spring.
Because March weather was like.
April and April started out to be
like May, we thought we were going
to have an early spring.
But are we? There is no use ask-
ing the weather man. He is one dic-
't'ator who holds more power than all
the other earthly potentates put to-
gether, but like them he seems to
have whims and fancies, and he won't
tell.
He let us get on the land and even
do some" seeding. And then he chang-
ed his mind. Perhaps he thought we
were taking too much “for granted.
Of . course the weather is not bad,
but still it is not spring. Spring
weather disappeared in the West last
week and this week it disappeared
in Ontario—or at least this part of
it.
The balmy breezes have gone their
way, and cold west winds have taken
their places. And there is snow on
the ground.
But it might be worse. Snow
storms are to be preferred to dust
storms. The land stays put better.
And the snow makes moisture.
And anyway, it is early enough yet.
Don't worry. We always have a seed
time and- a harvest. We will have
them this year. Leave it to the
weather man.
He may appear to be most unreas-
onable and a bit provoking at times,
but he really knows best. + We will
just have to trust him anyway and
fall in with his plans and wishes, be-
cause you never can tell about spring.

The Prime Minister Recovering
Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime
Minister of Canada, is recovering
from the illness that has confined
him to his apartments in Ottawa
since the latter part of February.
• That will be good news to every
loyal Canadian, On Sunday Mr.
Bennett was able to drive out for the
first time and on Wednesday it is ex-
pected he will leave for New York,
from where he will sail on Friday for
Englan to be in readiness for the
Jubilee ceremonies inh'
w lch he will
play a prominent part.
It is expected that Mr. Bennett will
return to Canada in time to be in Ot-
tawa for the opening of Parliament
on May 20th, after the long Easter
adjournment.
Will Mr. Bennett return to Canada
as a Peer of the Realm, or will hie re-
turn as a Commoner? If the latter,
will his health be sufficiently recov-
ered to lead his party in the forth-
coming general elections?
If not, who will be his successor,
and what chance will he have in the
country?
These are just a few of the ques-
tions that are agitating the inhabit-
ants of Parliament Hill at the pres-
ent time, and will continue to do so
for some time to come.

A Vera Dangerous Pastime
The council of Lindsay has ruled
that in future there must be no more
roller skating in the business section
of that town.,.
And very properly so. ' In fact, the
a'stlhne of .roller skating on the
A'reots ,of towns and even on the_
h aye is matter that should be

i P �lzrnft the cape of
youthful enjeyinept, and iler fsk4t,-
ing is a healthful sport. But at the
same time its' should be recognized
that youth is Act always responsible.
That youth is prone to be heedless,
if not to welcome danger; that it
takes tao many chances.
The temptation, of bourse, is great.
The paved streets and the paved
highways are smooth ribbons over
which to glide, but the streets and
the highways were not paved for the
purpose of providing skating rinks,
and in using them for that purpose,
the skaters are risking life and limb
to themselves, and are as well a
growing source of trouble and dan-
ger to the travelling public.

The Legislature
The spot light of public interest is
still focussed on the Legislature and
its deliberations—or is it the lack of
them?
How could it be otherwise with a
fight loving public? There are not
enough words in the English lang-
uage to permit of Mr. 'Hepburn ex-
pressing' his opinion of Mr: Henry,
the Leader of the Opposition, while
law, order and good government will
not permit Mr. Henry to use such
words as there are to. express his
opinion of Mr. Hepburn—at least, not
,the House.
The 'session, it is expected, will
close at Easter, but there will be a
si:eond session in the fall, following
the Dominion elections. •
Will the members be in luck by
reason of the fall session; or just out
cf luck by reason of it? Will there
e two sessional indemnities paid, or
only one?
If the former, will the provincial
members, who since their election,
have been standing up on their hind
legs and roaring about economy,
about high salaries and overpaid of-
ficials, reach out and take the addi-
tional $2,000 in pay, or will they just
hand it back to the Government? We
wonder'!
But there is one thing we venture
to believe, and that is, that there are
many members of the Legislature,
perhaps a majority of them, who
have learned, by their experience at
Toronto, more about the high cost of
living than they ever knew or ever
dreamed of before. One lives and
learns.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
Hauling A Duct Storm
• (Guelph Mercury)
If you have wondered just how much earth
was moved in the recent dust storm in Western
United States, you might' be interested in the
estimate •sub nitfed by A. F. Turner, of Kansas
State Coll•e'ge,
Mr. Turner Gays that if a 96 -mile line of 1'/
ton trucks 'could he put to work hauling ten
loads a.prece daily, it would take them a year to
haul back to western Kansas the dirt that was
blown over to the 'eastern half of the State.
Altogether, he says, there would be 46,500,000
truck loads to be moved.

Weekly Press Improves
( Cones -al l Standard -Freeholder)
Thome has been a greater improvement in the
weekly press of Canada during the past 10 years
than in the previous half century. In fact, a ma-
jority of the weeklies in the larger centres com-
pare very favorably to -day with the important
small city dailies. For many years, weekly news-
paper publishers were content to stay in. the. rut.
They allowed their papers to fall behind in the
march of progre's's, both in general appearance
and in the Service they rendered to readers and
advertisers. All that is changed to -day. The
weekly editors have shaken off the shackles of
tradition and their newspapers are blossoming
forth •as progressive, enterprising publications
well worthy of the com.mursities' they represent.
The weekly and semi -:weekly newspapers have a
definite place in the modern' scheme of things.
They give an accurate and complete coverage of
the news hatp;pemings of their reepec'tive commun-
ities. They give their readers an intelligent
cross-section. of news and comm'en't on. what is
going be in' the world in general. They provide
their readers with a home paper. a journal el-
eomed by every family. They attempt, through
their editorial colnrmms, to give eonstructiive crit-
i.oism and active leaderrehip in, tsom:munity affairs.
They carry tike advertsing messages of the merch-
ants of the co:rrtmanipity to the Consumers in the
•do'gical trading area; and form a eonn'eoting link
between the retatileir and consumer which could '
not 'be 'achieved by any 'other means. The week-
Jies.arnclos'e'nai-weeclres acre proud of the pant they
play in every-diay life. They l'oo'k up to the small

S. S. LESSON FOR APRIL 21, 1935
Lesson Topic—The Future Life (Eas-
ter Lesson).
Lesson Passage—Luke 24:1-12; John
14:1-6.
Golden Text—John 11:25. -
St. Luke in recording the meeting
of the Women with the angels and
later on the meeting between the wo-
men and the disciples sets forth the
different impressions made by the
information imparted. In the case of
the women when they found not the
body of Jesus, 'he states that they
were much :perplexed thereat. But
when they heard the angels sa,r, "He
is not here, but is risen," they re-
membered His words and immediate-
ly went and told the news to the elev-
en, -and' to all the rest. How did the
disciples receive it? Luke says `.`their
words seemed to them as idle tales,
and they believed them not." There
was one, however, who did not rest
there. Peter in his impulsive way
set off to investigate. Putting to-
gether what he saw only made him
to wonder within his own mind what
it could all mean. Some arrive at
conclusions more easily than others
as in the case o£ the women. Again
others hear and see, but do not com-
prehend as Peter but it all lead on to
the great awakening—the real Eas-
ter morn .of the soul.
John 14:1-6.
Let not your 'heart be troubled: ye
believe in God, belie.v:e also in me. In
my Father's house are many man-
sions; if it were hot so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place
for you.
And if I go and prepare a place
for you, 1 will come again, and re-
ceive you unto myself; that where I
am, there ye may be also. And whi-
therknow.I go ye know, and the way ye
Thomas saith unto him: Lord, we
know not whither thou guest; and
how can we know the way? Jesus
saith unto him: "I am the way, the
truth and the life; no man cometh
unto 'the Father, ,but by me."
(Dean Alford writing on "I go to
prepare a place for you" says—"The
ascension of our Lord should draw
our present thoughts and affections
to the place whither he is gone be-
fore. If we really love our Saviour,
if his glorified humanity is to us the
spring of our joys, and the centre of
our interests, the world may catch
bur fleeting thoughts and empty our
less earnest attentions, but he will
have all 'oar serious determinations,
all our deepest affections; the world
may be our tabernacle, but the place
where he is will be our home."
"In my Father's house are many
mansions."
Our Lord teaches us to donned
with heaven the thought of perman-
ence. It is, a place of mansions.
Our • Lord teaches us to connect
with heaven the thought of extent
and 'variety. It has many mansions.
O'itr Lord further teaches us to con-
nect with the heavenly world the
thought of unity, at is a house of
many mantioris. Our Lord teaches us
to carry to the thought of 'heaven a
filial heart. 1-t is the Father's house,
a paternal 'home. •
Our Lord has tati'ght us to connect
heaven with the thought of Himself
--r"My" Father's house. "No man
cometh unto the Father but by me."
—From Rev. J. Ker's sermons.
"That where I am, there ye may
be also."
This whole passage is beautifully
calculated to place in their right pro -
,portions that hope which every one
feels of meeting again in heaven
those that are gone before' us, and
the one all -satisfying anticipation of
being with Christ. Are we not to
know all things --to know even as we
are known, and if all things, then
certainly one another?
"Jesus saith unto Him, I am the
Way, and the Truth and the Life."
If it he asked where this way be-
gins, and whither it goes, the answer
is evident. It begins in the cold,
dark, desolate region into which sin
has thrown every living man. And it
goes along a course of ever -nearing
communion with God—through many
stages of prayer, and devout thought
and humiliation and assimilation to
the character of God up to the many
mansions of the Father's house.
There were three difficulties which
had to be overcome in the return of
a guilty creature to his God. (1) A
road must be made clear before the
love of God could travel without tres-
passing on God's justice. (2) The
false and alien mind of man must be
willing to occupy the road ''hen it
was made. (3) The returning man
must be fit for the happiness to which
he is restored. To remove the • first
obstacle, Jesus, in His own person,
and by His own vile death, harmoniz-
ed the attributes of God. To do a-
way with the second, the command-
ing spirit works in His sovereignty,
which makes willing in the day of
His power. To destroy the third, the
mediatorial throne is planted on the
way, to shed beauty and glory on
everyhing which passes by it, and
which acknowledges its efficacy. But
over each barrier, , raised to the.
ground, Christ's banner floats: "I am
the Way."—From Sermons by J.
Vaughan.

WORLD MISSIONS
The Church As God's Kingdom
Jesus "founded a community which
came to be called the Christian
Church, as the nucleus for a world-
wide Kingdom of God."
Anyone who studies the history of
the first century is faced with two
butstandintg facts: the life of Jesus
of Nazareth—and the birth of the
Christian church, the most influen-
tial and far-reaching religious move-
ment in human history.
In the one hand he sees Jessie' brief
ministry, His failure to win His,na-
tion, His tragic death on the cross
surrounded by a few followers be-
¶vildered and wavering in their loy-
alty to Him. On the other hand, he
sees a body of people drawn together
in passionate loyalty to their Risen
Lord, a powerful, vital group uncon-
quered by persecution, growing in°
numbers in spite of difficulty and op-
position, each member kindling a fire
of enthusiasm for the new faith
wherever be goes; a group which
draws into itself men and women of
every class and of every race, which
before the end of the first century
has become a church established in
every large centre in the lands bor-
dering on the Mediterranean, a church
destined to encircle the world.
The Church of Jesus Christ has as
its task the realization off the dreams
of the great prophets of Israel, the
achievement of the purpose to which
Jesus dedicated His life, namely, the
establishment of God's Kingdom.
What .Jesus 'Ahegam to do," His cihurrgh
is called to carry one -Prom The

Reciprocal Trade
(Chatham News')
Many people may have been mere-
ly amrused when they read dis'patch'es
stating that former rum runners have
taken to sntksggling onions across the
Detroit River. But .theses is an im-
portant economic principle underly-
ing these activities.
The 'bootleggers are "running" on-
ions primarily because Detroit is a
better market for their product. On-
ion's axe higher in the States because
of the demand. They need Canadian
onions. The price is lower here be-
cause we have plenty of anions and
in fact have supplies that we can sell
elsewhere.
A41 of which groes to slhoiw that it
would be in the i,iliterestts of the Unit-
ed States to have recilpro'eal trade
ag't-eeinents with regard to CSanadian
onions; and in that meet 'there would
1* a 'bigger mtamket for the Canadian
product.
