LENTEN SEASON Lenten season is upon us. The church, ealls tor a self discipline and salf denial in order to produce the highest control and ennovling ideals in people. If .you stop to eonsider the philosopny ot the church teachâ€" ings, you will recognize that this is one of the best practices that any individual can follow. It requires a careful examination of the individuals‘ habits, desires and appetites. It gives the individual an opportunity to look into himself with a view of finding his inâ€" efficiencies. It is a season that calls not only for self examination and self disciplinâ€" ing, but it is inspiring and does develop the physical, mental and spiritual. . Such a situation is not confined, as reâ€" _ Take responsibility on yo!

Stop stewing and start c Physically, the person is better who does control his appetites ; the health of the people would be far better it plain foods were parâ€" taken. lt is a period when individuals are asked to read the better literature and those things that are inspiring to the intellect. As we feed the body for the physical developâ€" ment, so the mind must necessarily be fed, and when we feed the mind on the higher idealism of life, there is bound to be a beter citizenship and intellect. But above all, man does not live on bread and intellect alone; he is a spiritual being which ean not be divorced from the physical; therefore, he must feed the spiritual as well as the physical and mental. This is a season when all individuals are called upon quietly, to feed the spiritual by the attendance at church, through reading of *Book of Books, by general submission of We physical being to the spiritual. At this time there is a definite place for the lenten season to be put into effect by all people. We will be better for having obâ€" served a true lenten season this year. Think uponâ€" these things. The best procedure to use as @ gencral principle is a matter of some contioversy, with arguments that the harsh measures advocated by some tend to embitter young mlo rather than act as a deterrent to her acts of crime. From observations in local courts alone there is a noticeable numâ€" ber of youthful offenders who are brought k repeatedlyâ€"some of them oniv a short » after being released from the custody a former conviction. GAMBLING DETRIMENTAL {- Single copies. o. Church or so \ :-uom -u&.. ;hm luhn || hn ffigher amiyice eoncerts. tertainments. From reports that are published, the talk | that is heard, the interest that is taken, one would be led to believe that gambling isl necessary to the present civilization. More | and more people are becoming imbibed with | the idea that they must raise moneys for | charitable work, must carry on games for | the purpose of an opportunity to make the side bet, increasing their excitement, and | this spirit is being inculcated into the chilâ€" _ dren. Bingoes, horse racing, all sorts of | card games and the various wheels and games | of chance are against the law. It is high | time that the people generally assist the | authorities in stamping out this growing | tendency. Gambling is not new, but all down | through the ages has been a menace to the 1 people. Those in authority require the backâ€" ing of the people in order to stamp it out. If service clubs, and church organizations are going to build character, are going to give the proper leadership, they must learn to raise their monies by legitimate means. Those indiivduals who are in control of these organizations should see to it that they do present to their respective organizations the proper methods of raising money. Gambling gets into the blood and becomes a fever and the individuals are led into difficulties, through what at first was a very innocent pastime. The suggestion should be acted upon. Such & move long has been‘needed. Crime among the younger citizens seems to have shown a marked increase during recent yvears. Auâ€" thorities sav it is largely due to lack of parental and other needed controls during the war years. A The Council of the:Canadian Bar Associaâ€" tion has suggested â€" some â€" farâ€"veaching changes in the Canadian penal structure for consideration at the next meeting of the Dominionâ€"Provincial conference. Centralizaâ€" tion of penal control and administration, and establishment of the Borstal system, where youthful offenders are not grouped with habitual criminals but are given special treatâ€" ment, are being urged in the recommendaâ€" tions.

Munager w JEAN PERKS, News Editor T26 TRAFFIC ISs MOVING During.the past week the traffic movement was tested severely by the heavy snow fall and the general conditions of the streets. Commendation is in order to the police deâ€" partment and the T.T.C, for the efficiency which they displayed in handling conditions. It was very noticeable that there was a big improvement over the continuous flow of traffic. True, there was the congestions, delays and holdups, but these were chiefly caused by individuals who refused to observe the traffic laws and give consideration to those in trouble. It is peculiar.how some individuals in these traffic jams will plow in and make it much worse by blowing their horns and causing a general disturbance; whereas had they used a little foresight they would have turned off and gone.around a block. Other jams caused by individuals stopping for a few minutes, double parking on main thoroughfares while somebody stepped into a store. All these conditions can be overcome by a little forethought and general knowledge of how to avoid traffic jams. It is true there are cases when the individuals can not help conditions, due to unforedeen accidents or mix ups, but these are very rare. While on this matter of traffic, it is certainly an opportune time to say that with the increase in the police force, more attention will be paid to the direction and steady flow of traffic. This move which is costing the citizens money, certainly was badly needed during the war time and will not only keep traffic moving, but will give definite protection to the citizens. The police commissioners who have been fighting for this for years will give a greater efficiency in policing during the year, then we have had for some time. TRYING TOO HARD Older people among us recall fondly the days when the business of living was a gentle, meandering affair that provided time for friendship and kindliness. Time for deâ€" velopment of the inner spirit. Pm oo e se s e Consideration, honesty, plain everyday deâ€" cency, are oldâ€"fashioned code more likely to be greeted, when practised, with sneers than cheers. There is a certain selfish ruthlessness apâ€" parent, particularly among the younger genâ€" eration, who unfortunately seem to have swallowed holusâ€"bolus the superman theory that the prize goes always to the strong. To underline this moral, Aesop would have delighted in the story of the Peterboro strong man who went to Montreal some years ago to compete against a strong man in & weightâ€" lifting contest. _ . Now most of us are so busy trying to roll up our first million that there isn‘t time for just living. Thought to be weakâ€"minded is the person who stops to think of othe}‘s. The Peterboro strong man readily won the contest when he lifted 1,500 pounds. For a special demonstration he added an ektra 100 pounds and lifted the full 1,600 pounds‘. It is said that within an hour or so he was spitting blood. Not long after he died. We like the inscription on his tombstone which reads: "Ye weak, beware, here lies the strong, THE HOLOCAUST OF TORONTO INNOCENTS The lamentable and increasing number of deaths by fire among young children left unattended while their parents are at the movies or elsewhere is creating consternaâ€" tion in Toronto. The holotaust of the innocents threatens to outdo the Herodian massacre. What to do about it, is something agitating the minds of the Queen City‘s citizens. . It is seriously suggested that a law be enacted to punish parents whose children are left at home and suffer harm while the fathers and mothers are abroad on pleasure bent. The suggestion falls far short of meeting a scandalous situation. Any action taken must be preventive as well as puniâ€" tive. A victim of his strength, He lifted 1,600 pounds And here he lies at length !‘ If we may make a suggestion to the Big City, we would urge the flashing on the movie screen, twice or oftener during each performance, of the question: "HAVE YOU LEFT YOUR CHILDREN IN CHARGE OF A RESPONSIBLE PERSON?‘ The psyâ€" chological effect would be tremendous. None but themost callous parents couldâ€" sit through a performance if the question left the slightest doubt in their minds that the children at home were safe. It would also create a wholesome public opinion that would be difficult to defy. Superâ€"sensitive souls will object to any such means of remedving a crying evil, on the grounds that it would arouse uncomfortâ€" able sensations in their gentle breasts at a time when they were seeking relaxation and enjoyment. One of the least admirable sections of society consists of those selfish individuals who strive to close their eyes and ears to any suggestion of pain, sorrow or suffering. They wish to wear roseâ€"coloured glasses and blinkers, seeing and hearing nothing that causes discomfort or dismay. The burning to death of little children through the carelessness of their parents is a calamity that should distress every rightâ€" minded human being to the point where any measure that offers to put a stop to the evil will _ be â€" welcomed. â€"From _ Bowmanville Statesman.

Mayor Tom Dougherty then spoke on the importance of originâ€" ations such as the Miller Athletic Club and maintained they were an integral part of any community. Rev. Currie Creelman‘s. address brought the evening to a successful conclusion with a very humorous and intelligent delivery, outlining that any organization must have a spiritual feeling as well as other activities citing the case of the Hitler youth movement which without spiritual guidance turned into a weapon of death and wanton destruction. Mr.~ Creelman comâ€" mented on the good work done by this organization ‘and added the fact, he marveled at it being strictly a voluntary effort. Mr. Harry Worthington handled the Master of Ceremonies position in a very capable manner, to such an extent the evening‘s program functioned smoothly. Sunday, March 3rd, Mr. Joblin concluded‘ his series of lectures on the spectacular and colorful life of Paul with his execution by the Romans after the great fire of Rome.

Of Paul‘s last day, Sholam Asch says: "Concerning his own life he knew the time had come for an accounting with himself; he looked back steadfastly on the course of the years, and it seemed to him that everything was as it should be. He could leave the world now no man‘s debtor; even himself he owed nothing". How many of us will be able to answer truthfully to ourselves, as Paul did, "even to myself I owe nothâ€" An appetizing buffet lunch was skillfully served by some fifteen young ladies who volunteered their services for the evening.

Have you received some of these tracts yet? We feel that you have. But what is very important, have you read them? Have you gone through them and looked up the Scripture reference. If you have, as we said last week, that you know the way of Salvation. Now you know that Jesus Christ, the Son of God died upon Calvary‘s Cross in order to reâ€" deem your soul from the curse of sin. Remember my friend, All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. For those who know Jesus Christ as their own personal Saviâ€" our it is a precious walk. It is the kind of way that we would not exâ€" change for all the world has to ofâ€" fer. For those who do not know Christ as their own personal Saviâ€" our, the walk that they are upon is not bright, it is not a happy way ‘and worst of all it will end in Hell‘s fire. Do not throw the little tracts away. If you are not interested in your own Soul‘s Salvation why not leave the tracts where other people can pick them up. We are sure that ‘they will be happy to read them. The Men‘s Club had a choir pracâ€" tice on Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. G.
