Still f oggp At Ottawa
The situation at Ottawa is still
foggy, and visibility is not likely to
become much clearer until the end of
the session, which, in all probability,
will be the end of June.
Until the House 'prorogues, or a
day or two before that event, it is not
expected that Premier Bennett will
make his pro.nouncement as to whe-
ther he will continue to lead his party
through the coming election.; whether
there will be a national Conservative.
_convention to choose a new leader,
or whether Mr. Bennett will choose
his own suecessor. •
The situation is fraught with many
doubts, and Ottawa continues in a
state of excitement, and is a little be-
wildered as well.
In the meantime legislation is be-
ing brought clown in the House that
might well bewilder any member, no
• matter .how old a hand he may be.
This is because of the fact that much
of this legislation which the House
, is being asked to pass upon and put
upon the statutebooks, has frankly
• been declared by the Minister of Jus-
tice, the Hon. Hugh Guthrie, to be
of doubtful legality.
This legislation has arisen, out of
• the Price Spreads. and Mass Buying
Commission report, . and practically
all of it would appear to be in the
doubtful class. Mr. Guthrie fears it
would not stand in court.
• Still the members are asked to
spend the time of the House and the
money of the country upon it. The
situation is, we believe, unprecedent-
ed in parliamentary history, and to
say the least, not a very creditable
situation for the Government to find
itself in.
The Week End Death Toll
The week -end death toll over the
past week -end stands " at ten. Ap-
palling, is it not? And 'the. summer
season on the highways, on the lakes
and on the rivers is,just commencing.
What can be -done about it? Not
one thing until people learn to stay
at home, or stop going nowhere at
break -neck speed; that water is not
solid ground, or that boats and can-
oes were not meant to be played in
on water.
Whether it is the holiday spirit
that seems t� seize upon people over
the week -end, a spirit of restless ir-
responsibility, that leads to so many
fatalities upon our highways, we do
not know, but we do know, and
statistics will bear out our conten-
tion, that the week -end death toll is
increasing with the years.
Traffic, of course, is very consider-
ably increased on our highways ov-
er the week -end, compared with
other days of the week, but it is not
the intensity of. traffic that is the
root of evil, hoWeVer much it may
dontribute to that end:
Rather is it the car drivers who
move in that traffic and the selfish
disregard of every law of safety,
which too many of them exhibit in
• their driving. r
NO propaganda of newspapers, of
• the Motor League, or of the High -
•s Department seems able to, dis- •

nd the Rain Came
I
Last Week we were speaking of
rain an the need of it—and we said,
Please!
Of course, that may have had
nothing to do with _it—but the rain
came.
And it was a good rain, copious
and warm. And on Monday of this
week we had some more. And per-
haps before this reaches the eyes of
our readers, we will have still more.
And what a difference it has made
in the appearance of this favored
Huron County of ours. To be sure,
the good brown earth is still there but
it is now covered with a thick blanket
of . the greenest green.
And the leaves on the trees are out
in full, and the whole landscape -looks
fresh and green and clean.
And are we satisfied? Why, no!
How can we -be? Didn't he "rain
hold' off to give the wire worm a
start? Didn't the rain last 'week
postpone, for a day or two, the seed-
ing of turnips and mangolds and
some of the corn ? And didn't the
price of hogs go down?
Really something should be done
about it. Or should it? If one con-
cession had the setting of the wea-
ther one week, and another conces-
sion the same privilege another week
and we all had our turn, would
we all be satisfied then.?
We wonder, or rather, on second
thought, we don't. We know we
wouldn't have any paStures, and
grain, and greeness, or any growth.
But still we would like to try it,
wouldn't we?
Nine New, Canadian Knights
The King's birthday honors are
out and with their coming we learn
that Canada has nine new Knights.
Nine—count them: Sir Edward
Wentworth Beattie, Morttreal; Sir
James Howden MacBrien, Ottawa ;
Sir Herbert Meredith Marler, Tokio;
Japan; Sir Arthur George Doughty,
Ottawa; Sir John Cunningham Mc-
Lennan, Toronto; Sir Joseph Amable
Thomas Chapais, Quebec; Sir Ed-
mond Wyly Grier, Toronto; Sir .Ern-
est Campbell MacMillan, Toronto,
and Sir Charles Douglas Roberts,
Toronto.
In addition, Sir Thomas White, of
Toronto, has been promoted to a
knight Grand Cross of the Order of
St. Michael and St. George. '
We do not know them all, neither
do you, and we doubt very much if
King George does either.
But they are all outstanding Cana-
dian citizens, each in his own field or
profession, and as such, congratula-
tions on the honors bestowed upon
them are in order.
For some years there has been a
growing objection among our people
to having titles conferred upon Can-
adian citizens. In fact, we believe
there was an Act of Parliament to
this effect.
But the Act did not stand. Why
should it? Honors are expensive
things. If a Canadian has the money,
is willing to spend it, and can get it,
why shouldn't he tack a Sir to his
name. The money does not come out
of our pockets; why should we Mind?
He is no, bigger, no better with a
Sir than without one, and if he wants
to run the risk of being considered
worse in the minds of his ,fellow citi-
zens, by the acceptance of a title,
isn't that his business and not ours?

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
The Newspaper Gives Results
(Welland Tribune)
During the spring days- when, spurred on by
the .promise of reawakening Nature, the thoughts
of business executives are dominated by promo-
tion ,plans, cOnsideration has been given by of-
4cials of the London Life Insurance Company to
the best method' of carrying on -their advertis-
ing campaigu for the ,present year. The ideas of
distributing their appropriation over several
mediums or concentrating it in one Medium were
accorded serious oonsiderationeand, ie the words
of J. H. Castle Graham, director of field service,
"The newspapers win."
"While acknowledging the value of some other
mediums," says Mr. Graham in a letter ,sent to
publishers of daily newepapers, "we feel that for
our purpose the newspapers situated in the locali-
ties where we maintain branch offices gives us
the West resits. And we hardly need add that
we have been using newspapers eansistenly for
years. The effect of newspaper advertising up-
on our own representatives is more noticeable;
the tie-in with our sales, promotion -work is more
effeetive,, partienlarly with our ,preeent copy; and
the :service which the newspape-rs are able to
petfinen for us in reporting the odd item of news
theonghout the year, have all combined to make
us decide in: fever of newspapers."

"For the first time this 'season the
lacrosse team of ,the Crescent Ath-

attack of the invading twelve. The
winners were the Beavers of Seaforth,

home ,players by a score of 7 goals
to 4. They were also •the victors in
the first half by six goals to 2. It
was an ideal day for a game and
more than four thousand persons
journeyed to Bay Ridge to witness
the contest. They were well repaid,
as the game, barring little for time
on the 'pant of the Canadians; late in
the second half was as pretty as any
of the season. The Canadians turn-
ed out to be a, tag strapping lot 114
fellows, Vito though they; said they
were not in condition, outplayed .and
out-generaled the Crescente in a moist
astonishing way. The attack field
was unusually 'fast. •• Smith -.showed

of the aggregation!, lee:irate; was
Mulcahy, whose game before the net
was in marked contrast to the poor
work of. Rose, the Crescent'goal.
Crescent started the scoring soon af-
ter the whistle. Wall landed the first
goal on a pretty shot, only to have
smith of the visiting teain tie it up
two minutes later. O'Rourke was re-
sponsible for the second goal which
was made after eight minutes of ex-
citing play. Then the .Seaforeli team
coremeneed to play in earnest and
five goals. were tallied by them be•
fore the half closed. Four of these
were made in three minutes, which
gives an idea of the rapidity of the
Canadian, game. These shots were
made 1;:y McKay, T. Johnston, Jack-
son, Smith and 'McKay. In the sec-
ond period, Jackson scored after three
minutes of play. From then on the
Crescents took the aggressive as the
visitors did nothing but kill time. This
style of play proved disastrous as
well, as the visitors scored twice more
efore the game ended."

S. S. LESSON FOR JUNE 9th, 1935
Lesson Topic—The Holy Spirit (Pen-
tecost Lesson).
Lesson Passage—John 16:17-11; Ro-
mans 8:10-17, 26, 27.
Golden Text—Romans 8:14.
In Christ's last, long intimate talk
with His disciples, He said, "It is
expedient for you that I go away."
The departure of our Lord was the
*disciples' gain and it is ours. It is
the gain of His whole church on
earth. Because by His. departure His
local presence was changed into an
universal presence. He had dwelt a-
mong themas man, under the limita-
tions of our humanity; in Galilee and
Jerusalem, on the mountain and in
the upper chamber, they had known
Hiini according to the measures and
laws of our nature. He had thereby
revealed to them His very and true
manhood. They had yet greater
things to learn. They had to learn
His very and true Godhead, His tliv-
ine and infinite majesty. And this
was to be revealed from a higher
sphere and by a mightier revelation
of Himself. The day of sPentecost
*as the enlargement of His presence
from a local and visible shape to an
ihvisible and universal fullness. As
the father dwells in the Son, so the
Son in the Holy Ghost.
sHis departure changed their im-
perfect knowledge into the full illum-
ination of faith. When the Comfor-
ter came all things were broughtback
to their remembrance. A new power
of insight was implanted in their
spiritual being, and a new world rose
up before it; for the spirit of truth
dwelt in them, and the world unseen
was revealed. If He had tarried up-
on earth all had stood still. When
He was upon earth, all was local ex-
terior and imperfect; now all is uni-
versal, inward and Divine. — H. E.
Manning' in The People's Bible.
Romans 8:10-17, 26, 27.
, In verse 8 we read that "they that
are in the flesh cannot please God."
From that on we read of the work of
the Spirit until we come to a sum -
flung up expressed in verse 14, "As
many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God."
An unconverted man may try to
conform himself to the precepts of
his maker, but there is something so
distinct and contrary between that
which is to obey and that witch is to
he obeyed, that the attempt will only
issue in fresh proof of the alleged im-
possibility. If any an be in Christ
Jesus be is a new creature. We are
born 'heirs of wrath, and we must un-
dergo a great , international radical
change before we can (become heirs
of glory. '
Verses 26-27. .•
The spirit is the help to prayer. In
these verses we have the reality of
prayer confirmed. Paul was e' men
of truth and soberness, free from au-
perStition and fanatical weakness. Ble
knew of what he was writing, and he
was sure that the Romans wduld
kno,scit too. It :AMA for no inner cir-
cle of enthusiasts he was writing this
epistle, but for all phat were in Rome
called to 'be saints.
Paul in . the s)reeding twe verses,
writes of ;being saved flay hope. These
unutterable longings have a . Divine
origin and Paul confirnes this origin
when he uses the word "Likewise:"
"Likewise the 'Spirit also heltpeth
srn infir3nities." We need the Spirit

' 1 long ago reach the conclusion that
the old time 'political meeting was a,
$,Ae. It placed far too much; em -
basis on the speaker and fat -too•
little on the audienee. Lt maimed::
that. audiences knew nothing, and
that men who spoke ppon the politi-
cal •platform knew everything; a per-,
fectly ridiculous assumption.It ase•
sumed also, .an equally, prepo'sterous
concept, that there is a definite an-
swer to every epiestion. There is not.
Years ago Lord Morley remarked,
that it was a simple matter to, do
right, it w.e knew what was right -
There are problems before the people'
dtceday in which decision is extremely
difficult. These solutions • can come
only from •careful study and free dis-
cussion. The more we eliminate
partizanship from these discussions,
the better it will be for all concerned.
Lately I have been addressing Meet-
ings in North Huron. Never have If
seen audiences, more willing to discuss
publicissues—more reasonable in
their viewpoint—more filled with the
desire to find the truth, They want
to know the facts—only by reasoning.
from known facts can sound conclu-
sions be reached.
(During these meetings the follow-
ing. sproblems have been . discussed:
Unemployment, Debts, Railways, Mar-
kets. The one most interesting to
the farmer .is markets. Provide
steady Markets for the farmer at
steady prices and the other problen&.
adjust themselves. If this problem
can be solved it will carry with it
the solution to almost every other
Canadian problem.
Annong the questions I have been
asked are the following:
"What has been the average debt
increase during the past five years?"
"How much -has unemployment cost
tfle federal :government since 193C1?"
"How many are unemployed?" '
"What was the deficit of the C.N.R.
during the last three years?",
"Should the railways be amalga-
Meted?" (a frequent questi6n).
"Has increased use of machinery
caused unemployment?"
"What percentage of total Cana-
dian production is exported?"
."Will the tMarketing Act help the
farmer.?"
for all the works we have to do. We
can speak no true, honest, sound word
unless we ask Him to teach us what
we shall say and how we shall say
it.
What are we to do when we feel
as if we could not pray? It is the
Spirit who helps us, not only to
think and to do, but also to Pray—
who draws out our desires towards
God, who speaks more far us and in
us than we know. It is 'very wonder-
ful, but yet it must be so. We could
not pray if God Himself were not
stirring up prayer in us.
(Is it not a blessed thought that the
Spirit is uttering His groans for the
deliverance of this world of ours from
all its sin and slavery and wretched-
ness? 'Should we not rejoice that
God knows what is the mind of the
Spirit, for it is His own mind? And
he that searcheth the hearts know-
eth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he •maketh intercession for
the saints according to the will of
God."
The Sermon Bible. '

WORLD MISSIONS
Sometimes I say an extra prayer
Besides the one for which I kneel.
I stand and look up at the stars,
And tell our Father how I feel.
I do not ask for anything,
I just feel happy hrough and
through;
I let my heart give thanks and sing,
Till all the world seems good and
true.

LITTLE SHADI'S PRAYER
I want to tell you a story about a
little boy's prayer, His name was
Shadi. He lived faraway in India.
He was a little orphan boy, and when
he was just six years old, he wenf
to live with a missionary lady who
was very kind to him and taught him
to love Jesus, and gave him a little
prayer for his own. One night when
he was going to bed his missionary
mother said to him, "Now, Shadi, I
want you to pray a little prayer of
your own." What do you think the
little boy's prayer was? It was very
short, for you know he was only six
years old and it is only old people
who make very long prayers.
This was what he said: "Dear Jes-
us, make me like what you were when
you were six years old." Don't you
think that was a good prayer for a
little six-year-old boy? To be like
Jesus when He was six years old
would 'be the very best thing in all
the world for a little boy who was
just six years old himself.—H. T.

"What about the balance of trade?"
"Can we afford to trade with coun-
tries of lower standards of living?"
"Have the Empire Agreements
helsped the farmer?"
"What proportion of our farm pro-
ducts go to the United Kingdom, the
'United States and other countries?"
."How can we compete with low-
wage countries?"
"How are we to solve the problem
of markets for farm produCts?"
"Will lower tariffs mean lower
wages ?"
"How can we get lower taxation?"
"Why don't we sell our wheat?"
"Do you believe in inflation?"
"Will a central 'bank help financial
conditions?"
"Why did Great Britain abandon
free. trade?"
"Did te Price Spread probe do any
good?"
"Will th Farmers' Debt Arjust-
ment Act help he Canadian farmer?"
"How are w to get lower interest
rates?"
These questions are, I take it, proof
of a keen in rest in public affairs,
an indication f a willingness to in-
quire, a desire to study and under-
stand the fundamental problems be-
fore the Canadian people, and above
ail, proof of the fact that the Cana-
dian people are taking a keener in-
terest than ever before in economic
problems.
