the improvements on the second line are to be continued this winter as a relief work measure by the county council last year a number of the danger ous curves in the road were widened out and greatly improved but the work stopped far short of com pletion this fall a coating of gravel has added to the convenience and comfort of travel but during the summer the upper portion was far from highway travel enjoyment this is a muchtravelled piece of road being the only connection between acton and milton and the south end of the county the wid ening on the north end will help a good deal in main taining winter traffic and perhaps hasten the day when this road will be made a surfaced highway con necting with the pavement from the dundas high way to milton and on to no 7 highway at acton bather handsome returns in following the findings of the mass buying commission it would seem that the actual value of the product had little to do with the ultimate cost to the consumer the producer and the article produc ed figure very little in the final selling price for instance the candies of the laura secord shops were charged to the stores at twentyfive cents per pound and the customer paid just double that or fifty cents a pound for the candies it would appear that the profits and merchandising cost an amount equal to the original value of the item even larger spreads than this are noted in other articled which have come before the attention of the commission while profits have seemingly been high and consumer costs out of proportion to value we sometimes wonder if the general public is not also to a large extent to blame for a part of this the need for expensive store fronts unexcelled and quick service and choice surroundings which undoubtedly cost quite an amount are all items rhich make the cost higher profits of 120 and 114 per cent however do seem to he out of all reason and the- public will await with interest the final solution of these evils exposed to stop their continuance u completing reorganization effective on- saturday december 1st is the gen eral commission of the peace which was issued last week by the attorneygenerals department which will complete the reorganization of the justices of the peace throughout the province mr roebuck when he announced his reorganization of the magis trates in august took umbrage at the existence of 10000 ontario justices of the peace he announced that these would be retired and some 250 appointed for the purpose of taking informations and com plaints and issuing summonses later a list of some 200 new justices was given out at his office officials explained that the issuance of a general commis sion automatically cancels the appointment of all justices of the peace generally appointed as as sociate justices by its issuance the attorneygen eral it is understood has finally legalized the dis missal of some 8000 justices the new commission was reported to include the appointments which he has made since announcing reorganization of the provincial judiciary and a few in addition the new commission does not affect the power of persoqs who are justices of the peace exofficio mayors reeves deputyreeves controllers arid aldermen are included in this category editorial notes the shopping days until christmas are now being regularly announced and its rather aggravating to those whose finances wont

winter fairs and their attractions are drawing attention of many at this time of year the exhibits give a better showingof the finished product of the field than the fall fairs at least an incentive a rule adopted by the o h a at the annual meeting on saturday will be of real assistance to the promotion of hockey in the smaller centres at least this is the proposal to divide the intermediate group into two sections with a championship for each sec tion if the towns of a population of 3000 or under are divided into one class and large centres say up to 5000 or 6000 put in the other group the com petition in hockey would be much keener and the rivalry stronger between towns of the same size the intermediate division has always been a large and unwieldly group to handle and the division will also facilitate the handling of the group towns and villages are just as anxious to have championship teams as are the larger centres but under the ar rangements of the past felt that there was little op portunity of winning when it came to the finals and group honors and not more than two playoffs were the limit the new rule will at least prove a fresh incentive for striving for a championship citizenship duties on friday evening citizens ably did their duty in putting forth a splendid list of candidates to fulfil the municipal offices the candidates have likewise done very well in qualifying for the election the matter is now strictly up to the electors and their duty is clearly before them to choose from the citizens who have offered to serve those whom they feel will do the work most efficiently it is no time for personal prejudices your vote may be mighty important to you but it should be used to put into effect the best administrators you can it would be poor business to use your vote to gain retaliation for personal injury done and then find that the satisfac tion secured has been the means of harming you and the community it large some one has to win while others lose use your vote next monday as you see fit in the best interests of your town if acton is to hold its place and advance the polling booth is not the place to take out a personal grudge the candi dates have offered to do their work as citizens let electors do their duty as citizens and for the interests of acton as a whole monday is the electors day municipal affairs are quite the topic of conversa tion this week its to be hoped that the propaganda will be confined to municipal affairs and that per sonalities will not enter into the subject soon be time for premier hepburn and the stevens investigation to take places off the front page of the dailies to give room for the annual mun icipal squabble of mcbride vs the fieldj the return of tim buck from portsmouth seemed to please a lot of folks who gathered at the union station in toronto meet him therewas also great rejoicing when the prodigal son returned home the individual who drives a vehicle onthe high way at night without a proper light is almost as as thechap who runs his motor car with the garage doors shut if he comes out alive he is just lucky dr shields opinion of premier hepburn isnt very large trot- then perhaps the premiers opinion of t5r shields wouldnt be any bigger most people are however not particularly coacejrned in opinions of individuals but rather the effect of their actions on the general welfare of the world onefourth of any gain in america national in come must go into the pockets of the farmer declares secretary of agriculture henry a wallace the farmer now gets only q p cent of national in come but he should receive 13 per cent if the coun trys economic balance is to be preserved the secre tary says farmers of the northeastern states are faring best because they produce for home consump tion whereas western and southeastern farmers must ship their crops away to market to rhaintain a flow of production in balance with needs of consumption and to live decently without impoverishing the soil these things are named as the farmers fair share canada isnt going to enjoy its full share of prosper ity either until the canadian farmer gets more for his live stock and

you and ye shall to my witnesses both in jerusalem and in all judaea and samaria nd unto the uttermost part of the eaich acta 1 8 lesson text lthes i- 110 time a d 5fj place athens exposition i with equal point and pertinence this lesson might have been entitled the value of personal testimony ortt was by such means and not by group effort or tnass machinery that the good news of the gospel was first spread abroad on the earth and in this letter written from athens the great apostle to the gentile reminds- the members of the church at thessolanica of this fact the power of personal christian testimony is very great indeed it is indispensable the evidence of ten men who have seen felt or heard certain things is worth more than that of a thousand men to wihom no such knowledge has been vouchsafed very few men can come to what they know at first hand we have to rely for our knowledge of past human events upon testimony we detcrminp the credibility of what has taken place in human history a thousand or two thou sand or more years ago by questioning and sifting the evidence in some cases this process of weighing the evidence is not invited but the narrative of the new testament invites the most search ing examination we here find the personal testimony of men who were companions of christ through his min istry and who saw what he did and heard what he said these things were not done in a corner but in one of the most enlightened ages of the world tuiey made such an impression that two of the ablest of roman historians speak of them but more than this the gospel of cnrlst left an indelible impress upon the roman empire it changed its religion manners and customs still more the religion of christ is a present day reality which can be tested ii the gospel was proclaimed through personal witness christ said just before he ascended ye shall be witnesses unto me both in jerusalem and in all judaea and in samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth acts 1 8 no angel was commissioned to do this work but men who had been with christ and who were to tell other men of the good news of a saviour so the word was passed down through the ages the holy spirit bore a large part in giving poer to the witnesses we note that these men were willing witnesses they were ready to tell avhat they had seen and heard they testified through gieat personal incon venience and danger to themselves the commendation of a good witness is that he tells a thing just as he has seen or experienced it not what may shave been expected in the circumstances the expression must equal the impression made and not go beryond it the result oyyitneslng for christ was first of all the thousands converted on the day of pentecost the test of anything is the result that it produces we may say that we ought to get certain results from doing certain things but the only way to know is by trial we are told what the gospel did in new testament times and for a long time afterwards in turn ing mens hearts from sin to righteous ness paul reminds these thfissalonians without fulsome flattery but as a plain statement of fact that they were en- samples to them that believe foi from you sounded out the word of the lord not only in macedonia and achaia but also in every place your faith to godward is shed abroad v 8 in is christian witness stiil a potent force but che practical question after ill is will christian witness prove as effec tual in oui day as on that of the erry church it brought outsiders to christ then on every hand w1jj it do it now try it and see modtr1 revivals and modem mission answer that queslon tnost emphatically in the affirmative let the membership of any church all of it or even a considerable part of it begin strongly to testify of its faith in christ and there is an immediate return to the results obtained from witnessing in the days of the apostles chrltlvi confessions and testimonies have not lost their power in building up the church in fact it is the lack of them that causes a loss of power these testi monies have a twofold influence fitit they confirm christians in their fa th and second they arrest thi attention of those out of christ and hing them to a saving knowledge of christ iv christian witness la the boohe the character oi iamllx life is deeply important upon its integrity and purity many things are dependent it is the stronghold of the state low standards of morals in the family low ideas ot truth tend to reprdduce themselves in exaggerated forms in the social and political life individuals coming out of families where there is no love for the good and no binding force of righteous ness often become a serious threat to their fellow men as derelicts upon the sea of social life no educational system can do very much toward eradicating the harm done to children by an evil family environment we judge men often by their families on the other hand the world is full of examples of men and women trained up in right eousness by their parents who have strictly kept to the path in which they were started the bible makes much of the family and the religious training of the young in genesis 18 1719 we are told that the lord said shall i hide from abraham that thing which i do seeing that abraham shall surely be come a great and mighty nation and all nations of the earth shall be blessed in in him for i know him that he will command his children and his ihouse- hold after him and they shall keep the way of the lord in deuteronomy 6 7 moses leaves this commandment speaking of the laws and precepts and ihou
