if the village council want to try it out t t f t the tragedy which took place near london one day last week in which four children were burned to death and the father seriously burn ed should be a warning regarding the use of gasoline a neighbor had just returned a quantity of gasoline which he had borrowed and was contained in a glass jar when the jar was placed in the kitchen the heat caused the jar to crack and the gasoline ran over the floor in a few moments there was a terrific ex plosion and the brick house was im mediately a mass of flames and the rescue of the children was impos sible it cannot be caid that it was a case of carelessness as no person would think of the glass jar break ing under the circumstances as gas oline is used so extensively for house hold purposes the greatest care should be exercised especially if a fire is in the room fumes arise so rapidly from gasoline and if these fumes come in contact with the fire and explosion immediately takes place it may

sir let it be said at the outset that those who seek to set the old testament against the new and paul against jesus christ are not as was reported in your paper last week launching into the deep and turbulent waters of modern thought but are simply rehashing the timeworn theories and criticisms of infidels and agnostics of other ages these charges against the old testament have been heard and uttterly re pudiated long ago there is nothing new nothing modern about any of it if the bible teaches cruelty and if gods ancient people were mis taken about hearing a divine com mand to slay utterly how can we explain the bibles influence to transform cruel cannibals into kind christians wherever it lias gone those who have taken the bible to cruel heathenism and blazed the paths as pioneers have almost altogether been men and women who believed there was no variance between the old and new testaments and no controversy be tween the teaching of jesus christ and pauline theology when darkness falls upon the sacred page and longer instructed of god the old back it is certainly any people should sword but there more appalling than that and it is sin from the bible we learn bow uufathomable were the depths of moral pollution to which these nations bad sunken they had become a moral cancer threaten ing the very life of the entire human race cancer is a cruel thing and to cut it out seems cruel too but in fact the operation that removes it is the greatest kindness surely a holy and omnipotent god lias a right to visit judgment upon individuals and nations sunk in sin the only wonder is that god is so longsuffering and that he does not visit judgment upon individuals and nations sooner why should we question the reality of the divine command or his right to give it he slays and makes alive god holds the breath of all men in his hands and rightly so no sort of misrepresentation is so foolish as that which would array the new testament mercy against the old testament justice the new testament mercy exists because the old testament justice is the mightiest of gods purposes god will yet sweep sin first out of his earth and then out of his universe and in each case the work will be done by the sword of justice the need today is that men have a glimpse of the holiness of god and a deep souse of sin this is the visions that isaiah had which we read about in the sixth chapter of his prophecy remember that the one who said love your enemies spoke again and again of certain retribution on sin lie warned with pleadint tones of the awful judgment it was the kind and loving saviour who said be not afraid of them that kill the body but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell let us rather believe the word of the christ on all these subjects than the word of the critics i still believe the good old book in spite of all the critics say and find it a perennial brook when other streams have passed away i still believe and in believing life receive i still believe and sometimes think believe the more as others doubt for as i see the critics sink and find faiths strong hands lift me out i still believe and in believing help receive rev walter hughes ba miss ada mccarty entertained at bridge on friday of last week mr irwin gray is in charge of the express delivery in town owing to the illness of mr benj

february 19 if the first week of the session is any criterion there is going to be plenty of fire works before the legislature pro rogues the conservatives though few in number made the pace from the start and the government mem bers were nothing loath to gel into action duo to the aggressive tactics of the opposition progress in deal ing with the provincial income tax- measure was slow though the bill secured second reading after a lengthy debate former premier henry who per haps was not exactly sorry that premier hepburn was absent at the walker trial in london strongly attacked the proposed income lax though he admitted he favoured the principle of income tax as generally applied the absence of the premier was clearly felt by the government forces though acting premier ii c nixon and his cabinet colleagues ably stemmed the attack the moving and seconding of the address in reply to the speech from the throne produced two speeches of high calibre st clair gordon liberal member for west kent and j h marceau liberal member fot nipissing mover and seconder re spectively won high praise from all sides of the house for their splendid presentations they set a high standard of oratorical ability for other members to attain these two speeches were free from interruption as is nearly al ways the case but the debate before and after the moving and second ing of the throne speech was differ ent the argument was lively and interesting and the liberals aftei getting over the first hurdle gave as good as they received the opposition particularly mr henry attempted to show that the reason for the provincial income tax was to take care of the cost of relief they did not suggest however that relief costs were too high mr henry said that when he was in office his government gave serious consideration to abolishing the municipal income tax but had no idea of substituting a provincial tax in its place but it is rather well known that at one time the con servative administration gave more than casual thought to a provincial tax to holster up falling revenues medical dr s s ball physician and surgeon office cor obrien and main phone 1 coroner for york county dental d c smith
