Beland didn‘t dress Wallace, however, and who could blame him as it was Hamilton‘s duty to dress him if he wanted to catch a glimpse of him. ... Paul Oliver, a Black Hawk who sat out the game to give four fellows from North Bay a chance to show their wares to Hamilton, is the sonâ€"of Appas Tappas, author of a horse racing column in the Toronto Globe and Mail. Although Pete Conacher didn‘t look too impressive in the early stages of the game the other night the big leftâ€"winger for the Hawks came through with a couple goals in the final minutes.. He has plenty between the ears and should go a long way in hockey. ... It was some coincidence the other night when they announced the N.H.L. scored over the P.A. system at the Mac and the first score was Chicago 3, Canadiens 1. At the same time Galt, a Chicago farm club were leading Comâ€" bines, a Montreal club, by the same 3â€"1 margin. ... Fans were a bit disappointed on Saturday night not to see Ron Wallace of the Schumacher Lions in action for either Galt or Comâ€" bines. Friday Sr. Hockey 5 HOLLINGER vs, COMBINES They might have really been hot on Saturday, as they scmetimes are, and it could have been a real credit to the Comâ€" bines to come up with a tide, en the dther hand if Galt got a bad game out of their systems, it doesn‘t look too bright for the locals. So, the ‘How good are the Combines‘ question will have to remain unanswered ‘till they meet the South. As far as trying to figure out the calibre of this year‘s edition of the Combines from the game against Galt, it is next to impossible. If Galt were a consistent élub you could get a gcod idea of the way the wind blows but anyone who hasn‘t seen the Black Hawks play before can‘t say whether or not the Hawks played a good game on Saturday. The Combines had by far the majority of the play but lack of polish around the opposition net kept the score down. The locals were in Galt territory for minutes at a time but couldn‘t capitalize on their opportunities. The Hawks can on the other hand make the most of their chance and. showed superior ability around the net. # Iroquois Falls and Ansonville A month or so ago they met and defeated the Ottawa St.â€" Pats College and on Saturday night they were held to a tie by the Black Hawks. ~ The locals held the lead on three different occasions in the game and at one stage with only a couple of minutes to go they boasted a 6â€"4 lead, but blew it when the Hawks pumped home two markers to knot the game at six all. . The local Combines had their second taste of Jr. A. comâ€" petition of the year at the Mac the othér night and once again they _stood up to opposition in favourable style.

In front of the orchestra was a pile 0. snow (imitation) about eight ftet long and two feet high. At the base of this snow was the sign Henry Kelneck and His Polar Bears. (Which some ingenious soul later changed to Polar Bars by blocking out the "e". Quite an idea and certainly in keeping w‘th the atmosphere of the snowball. Each window was draped with a a banner bearing one letter which when put together spelled out Snow Ball. These banners were finished by draping streamers which blew in the cold air. The staze was boxed in with white frost covered trees against a dark blue curtain. The I‘ghting caued the trees to sparkle throughout the evening and thus provided quite an original effect.

Fiecting Time . God asks, in James 4:14, "What is your life?" and then "proceeds to ansâ€" wer that it is a vapour that appearâ€" eth for a little time, and toen vanistâ€" | eth away. How true! We are here such a shora time, that our lives appear, as we consider them in the l\ight of eternity, to be as the soonâ€" passing steam ‘that issues from the boiling kettle, or the smoke that comes from the chimney. QOur jourâ€" ney is a short one here! Such do well to realise that God has placed signs of every description along the great Highway to Eternity to guide us safely. Hebids us to, Stop! Loock! Listen! that we may think upon our way, and make sure we are where we ought to be. He marks the dangerâ€"spots, curves, bridges, crofsings, and hills, and gives us, in His Word, the only sure Jirections for arriving safely in heaven, our deâ€" sired destination. ° It seems, though, that many people are living lives that resemble such an aimless traveller; seeking to folâ€" low every road leading from the main highway of purpose, and just getting nowhere. By REV. E. C. WOOD First Baptist Church, Timmins. Our modern highways are well marked so that by heeding the signs the average driver, under normal conâ€" ditions, can ijdurney in safety and enjoyment. Special signs are erected at danger spots so that life and limb need not be endangered unnecesâ€" sarily, and frequently one meets with such signs as, Stop! Look! Listen! Good advice,â€"for it is much better to be safe than sorry. Lifé is much like a journey along a highway. Thereé certainly is much to be segen and enjoyed, and so very much to be learned. Many roads lead off in different directionsâ€"some mere winding tracks into the bush, or wasteland:; others, wellâ€"kept country roads leading to towns, villages, or summer resorts, while main roads, here and there, mark the way to some large industrizcl area or city. Meanderings However, the traveller on a jourâ€" ney to a definite destination cannot possibly ursne easch track and road to its individual end (and then exâ€" plore each avenue leading from them, aco), and hope to reach his journey‘s end on time. Indeed it is doubtful if he ever would arrive, as his meanâ€" derings ‘would take him ever farther from his goal.

YOU The only way we can be sure we, are on the right road to heaven, and the only way by which our lives can be made strong for good is to receive Christ into our hearts that he may cleanse, control, and guide us. The °criptures are very plain in telling each of us of our need of a saviour as they reveal to us our sinful.nature, and condemn our evil deeds. Our inability to make ourselves right with God is also shown, and we are bidden to marvel at the grace of the Father in so loving us that He gave His Son to bear the penalty for our sin, and thus make it possible for Him to be perfectly just in forgiving sinners who will come to Him through that Sonâ€" because the full price has been paid by our Saviour‘s death on the cross. Personal Faith Personal faith in (which means an acceptance of) Jesus Christ as Savâ€" iour and Lord brings eternal life into repentant hearts. Thus we can be sure salvation, and thus we can experience life in all its fulness, the abundant life of God, as we journey along. Apart from the Saviour there is no hope! No hope of reaching heaven. No hope ofâ€"a life of victory over sin‘ No hope for aâ€" life that This reminds, tco, that we journey along the in company with others, (the highway is much travelâ€" led), and we may be led astray, or involved in disaster through our folâ€" lowing after, or our contacts, with others. What company do you keep? Where do you follow them? h 5 Your Influence? In like manner we affect those with whom we travel. What is your inâ€" fluence? Our lives are as a vapour, but steam, rightly directed, can be a mighty power for good as it drives the locomotive, or factory engine, or warms the building. Just so, a Christâ€" directed life can be a vapour used by God for good!! Escaping steam, though, will scald, or ‘when out of contrcl may destroy much property and life. What is your life? How do YOU affect your fellowâ€"travellers? Is your influgnce for God or the devil? That is why God says, "What is your life?" Will you take stock ot your life to date, and see if you have honestly tried to find out the way you ought to go? Are you satisfied with yourself, or do you realize that you have committed sin and are under condemnation, as well as being on the wrong road? Have you underâ€" stood that only faith in the atoneâ€" ing death of Jesus Christ brings salâ€" vation to the repentent heart? The wrecks we see are tragic eviâ€" dence of the dangers of the jourâ€" ney, and should make us realize our need of a saviour to guide us aright. and to keep us by His mighty power. heaven entirely and speruling an eterâ€" nity without God and without hope. will prove a blessing in Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts. 16.31).
