Power Contracts Cancelled
The expected, for once, has hap-
pened. Premier Mitchell Hepburn
has cancelled the power contracts
entered into by the late Ferguson
and Henry Governments with sev-
fral strong power companies.
Perhaps we should not say the ex-
pected, because we do not believe for
amoment that these big power com-
panies expected Premier Hepburn
would do any such thing.
But Premier Hepburn is a hard
man to bluff. The power companies
relied on the "repudiation," the "de-
struction of Ontario credit" cries to
see them through.
They did not believe that Mr. Hep-
burn would dare to do the thing he
has done. They did not believe him
when he said it was either a question
of revision or cancellation. And they
made no effort to reach adjustments
or even to consult their bondholders
on the question.
But Mr. Hepburn was not bluffing.
Neither was he greatly daring. He
knew the Hydro system, great as it
is, could not survive under the bur-
den of a debt of $300,000,000 imposed
upon it by these contracts for power
which it could not use.
And Premier Hepburn knew that
if the power companies did not show
themselves amenable to common
sense and reason, that the country
would be behind his action in cancel-
ling the contracts.
The end, perhaps, is not yet, but
certainly as far as the engagement
has gone, no one can say that Mr.
Hepburn has had the worst of it.
Neither do we believe that by the ac-
tion of the Premier, the bonders will
suffer much, nor that the credit of
the Province, at home or abroad, will
suffer at all.

The Provincial Conference
at Ottawal
The conference of Canadian Pro-
vincial Premiers and their advisers
with the Canadian Prime Minister
and has Cabinet opened in Ottawa
on Monday.
This long looked for conference is
confidently expected to iron out
many difficulties that heretofore
have existed between the, separate
Provinces as well as between the
Provinces and the Dominion authori-
ties—and it may.
That, however, depends very large-
ly on the attitude the several Prov-
inces themselves take towards the
Dominion. With the exception of
one Province, Alberta, which has a
Social Credit Government, the other
Provinces are all of one' political
faith, which is the same political
faith held by the Dominion Govern-
ment.
Under these circumstances one
would think that there would be a
certain amount of unanimity, plenty
at least, to allow for a real get-to-
gether conference which would re-
sult in benefit to all and not prefer-
ence to a few or any.
That is what the people in all the
Provinces expect and hope for from
this conference. Will the Provincial
Premiers measure up to these hopes
and expectations?
If the Provincial Premiers go to
Ottawa as representatives of single
Provinces alone, rather than as re-
presentative units of the whole Do-
minion, go prepared to take and
not to give, there is little prospect ok
any lasting good arising from the
conference.
On the other hand, if the Provincial
Proniers are big enough men and
far_ sightd enough to see beyond
thetr own boundaries—to give for
("(
)).
)•
the benefit of all as well as to take
for the benefit of themselves, the
COpferdnce of Provincial Premiers
at Ottawa will go down in history as
the time and place where the Domin-
ion of Canada led the other nations
of the world out of depression and
back to better times.

The Burden of Unemployment
During the past five years the
Dominion of Canada has spent mil-
lions upon millions of dollars upon
unemployment relief, in one form or
another, and still unemployment is
with us.
In fact, unemployment is not only
an unsolved problem, but the relief
of it has become a burden upon the
shoulders of the taxpayers that they
are no longer able to bear.
Perhaps the city taxpayer carries
the brunt of the burden, but not all.
It is true the city dweller sees more
of unemployment and pays more for
it, aside from what he contributes to
the Provincial and Dominion ex-
chequers, but the monies expended
on relief by the Province and Domin-
ion comes out of the pockets of the
country dweller just the same as out
of thekity pockets, only more so, be-
cause there are more of them.
In fact, unemployment relief, com-
ing on top of restricted markets and
low prices for agricultural products,
has completely emptied the country
pocket.
And still there seems to be no re-
lief in sight. It is true that uneni-
ployment has decreased to a certain
extent, but with an unemployed pop-
ulation said to be a million, it would
not appear that any real progress, if
any 'progress at all, had been made
in solving this vexed question.
There is a limit to what either the
Province or Dominion can spend, and
as far as the country is concerned,
that limit has been reached now.
Unemployment will probably be on
the agenda of the Provincial Confer-
ence. If not, it should be, and one of
the first to be considered at that. The
country can no longer go on spend-
ing millions of dollars every year,
without getting any place.
That has been the whole trouble
with this question. Governments
seem to have thought that if they
only spent. money enough the ques-
tion would settle itself. There has
been, perhaps, much organization,
but little investigation, and still less
supervision of the money that has
been spent.
Much of the money spent, in fact,
has been a pure waste, as -far as the
unemployed a r e concerned. Too
much of it has gone into the pockets
of contractors, interested parties and
professional organizers, and far too
little has reached the .unemployed.
Provincial and Dominion Govern-
ments are not the only ones that are
feeling the pinch of this question.
Municipal governments, all over the
country, down to the smallest ham-
let, are feeling the pinch too.
Something will have to be done
about unemployment and that some-
thing soon. Canada is well able to
provide the necessities of life to all
her unemployed, and willing to do it
too. What Canada is neither able
nor willing to do is to spend her tax
money to provide a fat living for
those who will not work.
We have bungled, and that bung-
ling has resulted in the creation of
a race of professional unemployed
that is simply bleeding the country,
and we can no longer afford to main-
tain that race.
The burden of unemployment re-
lief has reached the limit. Municipal,
Provincial and Dominion Govern-
ments have got to meet this situation
and the sooner they make a start the
better.

Class "A" Weeklies Chosen
Modern advertising performs a
particularly useful function when us-
ed educationally. . Sixteen years ago,
life insurance companies operating
in Canada, alive to the value of such
publicity, launched what has become
a unique example of institutional ad-
vertising on this continent.
Year after year these companies
have used the public press to empha-
size the importance of life insurance; "
to promote the sale of new, and the
conservation of old, business; and,
above all, to place before policyhold-
ers and the public at large the demo -

method, developed by Dir. L. Hendrik-
son, of the eldfunttington Library at
San Marine, Gui., prints 40 to 50 re-

S. S. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 15
Lesson . Topic—Ezra Teaching the
Law of God.
Lesson Passage—Ezra 7:10; Nehe-
miah 8:1-3, 5, 6, 8-12.
Golden Text—Psalm 119:11.
"For Ezra had prepared his heart
to, seek the law of the Lord, and to
db it, and to teach in Israel statutes
and judgments." Ezra came up out
of Babylon thirteen years before Ne-
hemiah came, yet we have recorded
in to -day's lesson a piece vof good
work which he did, that might have
been done before but was not, till
Nehemiah came, who, though he was
not such a scholar, nor such a divine,
as Ezra, nom such a scribe.in the law
lof his God, yet was a man of mere
lively active spirit. His zeal set
Ezra's learning to work, and then
great things were dene—"And aril the
people gathered themselves together
as one man into the street that was
before the water -gate; and they
,spake unto Ezra the scribe, to bring
the book of the law of Moses, which
the Lord had aomlmanded to Israel.
And Ezra the airiest brought the law
before ehe Congregation, both of men
and women, and all that could hear
with understanding, upon the first
day of the ,zevienth month. And
weary; ethers that several ministers
were reading and expoundingeat some
distance from each ()there. T he
(people gave willing attention to who-
ever was reading—"the ears of all
he people were unto the book of the
Iaw." The word of God commands
attentible and deserves it. If through
carelessness we let much slip in hear-
ing, there is danger that through for-
getfullness we shall let all slip after
hearing.
The (effect that the reading and expounding of ,the law had on the peo-
ple is seen in verses 9-12. They were
troubled; they wept to think how they
had offended God. Then the min-
isters, and Neh•emial is mentioned as
being amiong them, 'endeavored to pa-
cify and comfort them by telling
them the day was holy, and there-
fore was /to be celebrated with joy
and praise, not as if it were day on
which to afflict their souls. "This
clay is holy ,unto the Lord your God;
mourn not, nor weep." They com-
manded them "to put on the gar-
ments of praise, instead of the spir-
it of heaviness." They encouraged
them to manifest their joy by feast -
ring; but With charity towards the
poor. God's bounty should make us
beunitiful. It must net be a carnal
sensual Joy, but .h•only and spiritual.
"The liberal cleviseth liberal things;
and by liberal things shall he stand"
(jsaie,h 32:8).
The assembly gave good heed to
the directions given. them. After
they had wept, they rejoiced; holy
mourning makes way for holy antirth;
"they that sow in tears, shall reap
in joy." They made mirth, not be-
cause they had the fat rto eat, and
the sweet to drink, and much. good
company, but because of the ttean'h-
read therein. And Ezra the scribe' 'ng and because they understood the
stood upon a pulpit of wood."
We have here an account of a, sol-
emn religious a.seembay, and the •good
work that was deme, in that assemb-
ly, to the honor of God, and the edi-
fication of the church. It was on
that day that the altar was set up,
and they began to offer their burnt -
offerings after their return out of
captivity. Drivine favors' had rested
upon them and they voluntarily as-
sembled together to 'aeknowledge
Glod's goodness. Whole families were
there. Men, women and children al
have soulIs to save and require to ac
quaint themselves with the word of
God, and attend on the means of
knowledge and grace. All who can
hear With underetanding must be
trained up in the exercises of relig-
i011.
The people invited Ezra to be their
minister. His call was very clear.
God gave him ability and authiority,
and then the people gave him oppor-
tunity and invitation. We read in
connection with Christ's appearance
in the synagogue at Nazareth that
"He closed the book, and he gave it
again to the minister, and sat
down. And the eyes orf all them that
were in the synagogue were fastened
ori him" (Luke 4:20). So in the case
of Ezra, he steed (upon a pulpit of
wood that the eyes of the hearers
might be upon him and thus the bet-
ter engaged their attention,. He read
from morning until mid-day. "And
Ezra opened the 'book hi the sight of
all the people; and when he opened
it all the people stood up." Here we
.see how both minister and people
conducted themselves. In Ecclesi-
astes 5:1, 2 we read: "Keep thy foot
when thou vest to the house of God,
and 'be more ready to hear, than to
give the .sacrifice of fools; for they
consider not that they do evil. Be
rot rash with thy mouth, and' let not
thine heart be hasty to utter any-
thing before God: for God:. is in
heaven, and thou upon earth: there-
fore let thy words be few." So here
wc have Ezra leading the people in
reverent worship. Hie blessed (the
Lord as the great Go,c1, gave honor to
Him, by praising His perfection, and
praying for His laver; and the peo-
ple, in token of their eoncurrence With
him, 'both in prayers and in praises,
said, "Amen, Amen," and lifted up
their hands, in token of their desire
being toward God, and all their ex-
pectation from •Him; they alsb bow-
ed their heads, in token iof theietrev-
erence of Him and subjectlion to Him.
AtI of which is an example for us so
that we too may adore God, and ad-
drese ourselves to Hine
The law was not only read; it was
expounded ale that the people had a
sense of fits true meaning and appli-
cation to their Own, lives, They were
edified, "So they read in the book, in
the law of God, distinctly, and gave
the sense and -caused them to under-
stand the reading." It was a large
assembly and so 'Ezra had thirteen
associates. rSorne think that he
pointed them to read when he was
words spoken to therm Bibles and
ministers are the joy of God's Israel.
The better we understand the Word
of God, the more comfort we shall
find in it; for the darkness of trou-
ble arises from the darkness of ignor-
ance. ---(Henry's Bible ) .

WORLD MISSIONS
The Bible in Scottish Education
A well-known preacher expressed
the opinion recently that in our fev-
ered country most people would be
_llable to pass respectably an examina-
tion on the personality and teachings
of our Lord. He would' have been
right, I thought, if his remark had
applied to Scotland in the eighteenth
antury. In Garcia Oman's new novel,
''Over the Water," Flora Macdonald,
wh.a saved the young Chevalier, is
presented as a lover of the Bible.
That was the only book in Flora's
basket as she set out en her journey
from Skye to Edinburgh. As she
waited on the Glasgow quayside for
the Edinburgh diligence "she heart-
ened herself by doing something
which had been done in Scotland since
the first Bibles were put into Scot-
tish hands. It was called 'searching
for light.' She opened the Bible at
randoen, dabbed her forefinger on to
a page, and read: 'If I perish, I per-
ish,: which, if not exactly soothing,
was certainly an Opposite message.
The words are from the Book of
Esther, and it can scarcely have sheen
by mere chance that Flera's Word of
Light was found in the Old Testa-
ment. In m'y own first school, the
head of which was a Welsh lady with
astonishing gifts as a teacher, the
pupils were e'xpected to commit .to
memory Whole chapters from the
Bible as part of the ero•rmial religious
instructi on. The principal Psalms
were lear-neci by beef% though none
of us 'shared the fate of David Liv-
ingetone, who at the age of' nine was
required to memorize and repeat the
119th Psalm. It was ne small feat
for the boy to Jearn 176 •diffl,cult vers-
es, He recited the Psalm to his Sun-
day school teacher on two succesive
evenings with only five errors. The
prize was a New Testament. '
I have never met anyone who in
after life regretted the time spent
either in reading or in meaniorezing
the Seriptures. The :British, nation
deserves to be called the ,People of
the Bc>ok. The 119th Psalm includes
a verse, Which in all centuries might
have expressed .the ideals of 'our
race: "Thy testimonies have I claim-
ed as mine heritage for ever; for
why, they are the very joy :of mine
heart." --Lorna in The British Week-
