King George VI
On Saturday, December 12th, at
8.15 a.m., Ontario time, the Duke of
York became King -Emperor, to rule
as George VI over nearly one-fourth
of the world's territory and people.
After ,a reign of ten months, Ed-
ward VIII stepped down : from the
world's greatest throne and the
greatestthrone in history,, to be sue:-
ceeded by his brother and his,
Duchess, as King and Queen.
Thus ended the greatest crisis in
the world's history. A crisis packed
with great possibilities of bitterness.
and dissention among the people .of
the Empire, but which closed swiftly,
peacefully, soberly, which is an am-
azing tribute to the soundness of the
belief in constitutional government
of the British people.
Great as has been the popularity
of Edward, greater perhaps than
that of any other British monarch,
and deeply as he was enshrined in
the hearts of .his subjects, when it
.came to a choice between the King on
the one hand, and Parliament and
the constitution on the other; there
• was no hesitation in the minds of
the people. They chose the side of •
Parliament.
And that their decision was wise,
we believe the years will amply testi-
fy. In King George VI and Queen
Elizabeth, the people of the British
Empire, the world ovler, recognize
tributes of character and habits of
life which coineide with the people's
ideals of reigning sovereigns, and
ideals which must be fulfilled to en-
sure unity, peace and prosperity to
r ••
the Empire.
King . George is eminently fitted
by education and training to honor
the high station to which he has
been chosen and to fulfill with credit
and dignity the onerous duties of
that high office. He has not travelled
as extensively, nor has he been as
prominently before theworld public,
but for years he has played' a large
part and played it willingly and ably
in the public life of Britain, and has
a wide acquaintance in Canada
where he is known and esteemed.
But •although. the duties of Royal-
ty have entailed.extensive travel up-
on the new King, he is known as a
home man and a family man, quali-
ties dear to the heart of his British
subjects, and qualities which so en-
deared'his father and mother at
home and abroad, during the whole
of their long reign as King George
V and Queen Mary.
As the Duke of York he had built
a firm foundation of trust and re-
spect in the opinion of the people of
the British Isles,, and which extend-
ed, lesser, degree, aver the Em-
pire. That he will build upon that
foundation a great, good and pros-
perous reign there is no doubt, just
a great expectation in the hearts of
all his people over his wide domain.
God Save the King.

The Hastings Election
The battle of East Hastings has
been fought and won --by the Conl-
gervative party. Their candidate,
Dr. H. Welsh, was returned on Wed-
nesday of last week, by a majority
of some 1,400 over his Liberal op-
ponent, Dr. H. A. Boyce, after one
of the most bitterly fought by-elec-
tions in Ontario political history.
Premier. Hepburn . and a number
of his Cabinet Ministers spent two or
three weeks in the riding, while the
Provincai Conservative Leader, • 1 ton.

was intense and -'i was bitter. So
bitter, in fact, that many things were
said, and many personalities indulw.
ed in that the record of this by-elec-
tion
-elect-tion will not go down in history as
a model one, nor one that the Prov-
ince would like to see repeated.
The riding of East Hastings is tri...
ditionally Conservative by .a large
majority, and, likewise, . traditional-
ly Orange, which gave the Conserva-
tive candidate a decided edge on his I
Liberal opponent
It was hoped by the Liberals, how-
ever, that the enviable record of the
Hepburn Government would have
some bearing on the result. That
fulfilment of promises, reduction in
taxes and public debt and careful
and economical government, would
be listened to and weighed in the
a rinds of the electors against their
Conservative leanings and against
the record of Conservative govern-
ments in Ontario politics.
'i'he Liberal's hopes; however, turn-
ed out to be merewishes, father to
their thoughts. There was no foun-
dation for them. To the minds of
the East Hastings electors, there
wa s just one issue in the election.
And one only.
That was the Separate School
question. No other i"ssue, whatso-
ever, was given any thought. That
was the question round which the
Conservatives built their campaign.
And it worked. The Government's
record of economic achievement was
wholly disregarded by the electors.
They had ears for only one appeal—
the sectarian appeal.
But, viewed in the light ofpoliti-
cal history, the result of the East
Hastings election is, in no way, a re-
markable one, nor does it assume the
proportions of a great Conservative
victory or any change in the trend
of political thought throughout the
rest of the Province.
In 1923 the Conservative majority
in Hastings was 1,487; in the elec-
tion of 1926 -it was 1,611;, and in the
general election of 1929 the Conserv-
ative candidate was elected by ac-
clamation. In the great Liberal
landslide of 1934; East Hastings was
still Conservative by a majority of
418.
In that year, however, thirty per
cent. of the vote in the riding was
not recorded, which means, that 30
per cent. of the electors, although
strongly Conservative, as they had
always been, refused to vote either
for or against that party.
Viewed in that fight it is only rea-
sonable to believe that it was the re-
turn of that 30 per cent, of the elec-
tors to their old party .allegiance
that brought the Conservative ma-
jority up to its normal of other elec-
tions, in the by-election of last week.

Just One Week
One week from to -day will be
Christmas day. Too late to do your
Christmas shopping then. So better
not put it off any longer.
The weather has been seasonable
and the roads have been good... And
many people have taken advantage
of both. But there are others. A
lot of others, who always put their
Christmas shopping off until the last
moment.
And last moment shopping always
brings disappointments. ' Possibly
you can do all you 'wantto do in one
day. But there are only five more
days left. Hadn't you better . pick
on one of those days now?
And shop at home. It pays!
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
Raising Church Funds
(From the Bowmanville Statesman)
Because we 'have always doubted the wisdom
of church bazaars cooking sales, teas and. enter-
tainments, we guide a check up of local churches
and the unorthodox manner in which they aug-
mented their Sunday givin:gs on the collection
plate. In presenting these figures we would like
to make it clear that they are for Bowmanville
churches only, and that no ..lodges or other or-
ganizations of any kind are included in the list-
ing. We might add, that the list is an underesti-
mate, rather than a complete picture of the sit-
uatibn, for in some instances the affairs were
not advertised in the Statesman, and therefore
we had no check on them. For inetanee, several
churches staged theatre parties, and we brave
only one that was actually advertised., However,
Here's the result of our little investigation. Bow-
pranvflie churches took the following means of
ra1041ng extra money for church purposes from
January 1 up until the present Rime; Plays, •fi;
operetta, 1; jubilee singers, 2; sales of work and

S. S. LESSON. FOR DECEMBER 20
Lesson Topic—The Supreme Gift of
Love (Christmas Lesson).
Lesson Passage—I John 4:7-19.
Golden Text—Luke 2:i4.
"Beloved, let us• Ioye one another;
for love is of God; and every one
that loveth is born of God, and know-
eth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not
God; for God is love.
In. this was manifested the love of
God toward us, because that God
sent His only begotten Son into the
world, that we might 'live through
Him.
Herein, is love, not that we loved
God, but that He loved us, and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for our
sins.
Beloved, if Gott so hived us, we
ought also to love one another.
No man hath seen God at any time.
If we love one another, God `dwelleth
in us, and His 'love is perfect in us.
.Hereby know we that we dwell in
Him, and He ie. us, because He hath
given us of His Spirit.
And we 'have seen and do testify
that the Father sent the Son to be
the saviour of the -world.
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus
is the Son of aod, God dwelleth in
him, and he in ,God.
And we have knjown ,and believed
the love that God hath to us. God is
love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God .in him.
Herein is our love made perfect,
that we may have boldness in the day
of judgment; because as He is, so
are we In this World.
There is no fear in love; but per.
feet love casteth out fear; because
fear hath torment. He that feareth
is not made perfect in love.
We love Him, because He first lov-
ed • us."
