"Ye are the salt of the earth: but it the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men." Our Lord here js speaking not of men generally, but striotly of Christian. bellevers, disciples of the Lord Jesus. The definite implications of this verse are that the world itself fs cor- rupt and corrupting, and that Christlans, as they live here among men, are to exert an Influence re- tarding this corruption, as salt hy #ts distinctive chemical nature re. tards and often prevents. corrup- tion {aking place in meats, and other forms of food to which salt is applied. Point Others To God 14. "Yo are the light of the world. A city set upon a hill can. not be hid, 15. Neither do men" light a Jamp, and put it under the bushel, 'but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Here Christians are the light of the world, the source of spiritual Hght to it as the sun Is of natural light, They are the light by means of which the world, the mass of * mankind, may gee the things of religion, may see the truth about God and His service, The Christian's Obligation 13. "And they send unto him _ certain of the Pharisces and of the Herodlans, that they might cateh him in talk. 14, And when they were come, they say unto him, eacher, wo know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 16. Bhall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing thelr hypocrisy, sald unto then®;, Why make ye trial of me? bring me 4 denarius, that I may see it, 16, And they brought #, Andhe saith unto them, Whose fa this Jmago and supersoription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 17. And Jesus sald unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. And they marvelled greatly at him." The Pharisees asked If they should pay tribute to Caesar, by which they meant, shoul dthey, as Jews, pay taxes to the Roman Government. It was understood among: the Jews that to accept the colnage of any king was to acknowledge hls supremacy--by accepting the deonarius tlierefore aa a current coin they were openly declaring that Caesar was thelr sovereign. Therefore our Lord sald that they were to render unto Caesar the things that were Caes- ar's, but He added the far deeper words--and unto God the things that are God's. To Caesar you owe- the coln which you have ad- mitted as the symbol of his author- ity, but to God you owe yourselves. Duty To Rulers 18. "Be subject to every ord- nance of man, for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme; "14. Oh unto governors, as sent by EE am a = him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to them that do wel. 16. For so' is the will of God, that by well-doing ye shall put to sllénce the ignorance of foolish men." While order is a divine command, all special forms of civil govérnment are mere means of carrying out God's de- slgus for the welfare of society. The Christians were accused of being evildoers. They were to be consvicuous for well-doing, Bondservants of God 16: "As free, and not using: yeur' freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God." They myst not attempt to hide wicked- ness by boasting of their freedom but they must be as God's serve ant. The word "servant" in refer- ence to Ohristians fmplies neither degradation nor Injustice but ex- presses. chiefly the rendering of absolute service. Honor All Men 17. "Honor all men, Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King." Christ honored all men, not simply for what they were In them. selves, He honored them all for what they were to God. The spe- clal love of the brethren does! not shut out other forms and degrees of love, Our Lord's words should be considered in all their full force of obligation. Men are to fear God with the holy reverential awe of sons, They are not to fear man more ahan. God, however great may be the authority with which he is- invested, THE BOOK SHELF LITTLE MAN By G. Herbert Sallans Little Man is an honest and un- flinching account of four amazing decades in the growth of a nation, The scenes move swiftly across Canada and back, to Britain and France and home again. The events are vivid and the charac- ters slendidly alive, for the author describes what ho has seen and known and felt. Little Man is a story that awakens faith in our country and stimulates pride in our traditions - and confidence in our destiny, At the same time it never loses sight of man himself. Without mawkish sentimentality the author cham- pions the little man who never knows what it is to win, but who will never admit defeat, who fills the armies of the world because there are so many of him, and who can never be conquered be- cause there are toc many of him.

Oceans a bit more com- fortable during the winter months, That means that the wolf pelts are doing a worthwhile job'--and after all there is" nothing more laudable than converting a nui- sance to some useful purpose. . * *. Running free in the bush, the Algoma wolf, or for that matter any other Ontario wolf, is a de- structive creature. He won't at- tack man, 1s the fact that the $100 reward offéred by The Star 17 years ago to anyone who could prove that he had been attacked by a wolf in its natural state in Algoma has never been success- fully claimed, has aniply shown. But so far as farm animals, deer and even moose are concerned, the wolf does a great deal of damage. That is why the Ontario Government offers a bounty of $26 on wolves, That is why the Algoma Wolf Club, quite apart from the fact that its members enjoy the chase, has from , time to time set itself the task of clear- ing out the wolves from areas where the farniers have been suf- fering from the animals deprada- tions, . . . These are only palliatives, how- ever. But if, inspired by the edi- tor's fur coat and by the use of wolf pelts to make vests for the sailors, it should become recog. nized that wolfskins have a real commercial value, the remedy might. be found. For if a first class market for wolfskins could be -built up, wolves might soon become even scarcer than beaver threatened to be a few years ago. But in that case someone would come along and want a close sga- son on wolves in order to keep them from extinction -- and then | where would the farmer's live stock come in? .. _ SCOUTING ...
