page two the tribune stouffville ontario thursday jan 11th 1940 established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to ten pages average circulation 1375 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 5200 in usa s2g0 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment turnip waxing industry when some smart person thought of waxing tur nips so that they would be sealed with all the natural juices he started something- that has grown into a large industry observes the walkerton heraldtimes several thousand dollars worth of turnips are wax ed in stouffville every winter at the drevery plant although r e brown ships by truck and railways 35 or 45 car loads every season unwaxed walkerton and mildmay jn the northern district have waxing plants and since they have started the freight business from that town has increased by leaps and bounds blackwater too ship 50 cars a season over fifty carloads from walkerton have been shipped so far this fall some go ing as far as texas the freight on one of these cars to texas is 400 sothat when the middleman gets his share for handling the lowly turnip becomes a caviar of vege tables of course down south they call turnips rutabag as a name unknown to our oxford dictionary and if they call it that they deserve to paymore for it pass up and have another helping of turnips the vegetable with the vitamins street committee have a job to do business places along main street and indeed motorists and farmers who do business in stouffville will hope that the municipal council of the village will find some way to solve the snow problem should it come down in great quantity like last winter when the business section became so blocked it was risky to drive we suppose half a dozen drivers from the village alone received dinted fen ders which cost them two or three dollars all because ruts got so deep the problem is not as easy to solve as some think only a reasonable sum of money should be spent other wise perhaps the business section might be specially taxed however it is suggested that we have to pay for the county snow plow and when they came through and pile up the snow on either side of the street it would not be an expensive matter to have a team or truck with a few men rush it away or the worst of it so that traffic will not be congested even if the intersecteions were well cleared of snow it would help a lot with the gener critisism of last winter the road committee of the council will probably endeavour to deal with the situation before the snow had to be dug out with picks dogs at large menace to sheep many sheep breeders in canada are of the opinion that it is practically impossible to raise sheep profitably on account of the large number of dogs which are allowed to run at large this they consider is serious in a country that uses more wool per capita than any other country and which in war time finds itself under the necessity of importing large quantities of wool for war contracts and for general use one farmer in ontario reports losing 16 head of sheep killed by dogs in one night another 11 head and oth ers smaller numbers both whitchurch and markham have paid claims around and over 1000 in one year although in 1939 their combined outlay was under 500 as a result of the menace from dogs there has been a reduction of 75 per cent in the number of sheep raised in one district in which sheep are regarded as the best paying class of live stock a similar statement might be made by groups of farmers in many sections or districts of the dominion unless something is done to lessen the danger from dogs it is certain less sheep will be raised such a condition might not be regarded as serious in normal peace time but with a war on when wool is one of the most important agricultural commodities used exclusively for soldiers clothing it is very dangerous then there are possibiities of lamb being required much more extensively in canada to replace either bacon or beef sheep raisers throughout canada are urging that legislation to deal with the menace to be considered as a war time necessity by the provincial legislatures so that more sheep and wool may be produced get ready for the war loan preparations are under way for canadas first war loan now scheduled to make its appearance during the first quarter of 1940 comes as good news inasmuch as it will provide the rank and file of canadians with an oppor tunity to make their first direct contribution to canadas war effort the backbone of canadas participation in this war will be financial because of the vast amount of food stuffs materials and military supplies that will be required from this country true much of these materials will be paid for by the allies but some of the british purchases in this country will have to be financed by canada and can adas own program will be extensive it seems probable that at least 40 per cent of the national income will be required in the next year to meet the cost of war and the other ex penditures of all governments in canada and to finance british purchases here it is indicted that the forthcoming war loan will have bonds as low as 5000 in denomination sunday school lesson ice boatins popular on wilcox lake in whitchurch township lesson for january 14 the pkobiiem of fougivexkss coldin text forgive u8 our debts as we forgive ourdebtors the lessox as a whoue in these two chapters we have far more than the question of forgive ness brought before us in chapter 19 we have our lords teaching on marriage and divorce gods care for llttlec liildren searching teaching as to the right use of riches and reward for present dcvotedness to christ when at last he returns to reign it is in chapter ls1535 that jesus deals particularly with forgiveness inseveral different phases for the christian the whole prob lem is easily solved we are to torsive as god in christ has for given us kph 432 col 313 from the kingdom standpoint how ever forgiveness is based upon re pentance of the offender christs disciples are to maintain an attit- tude of forgiveness at all times and toward all men but they are t obe- stow that forgiveness upon tht one who says i repent luke 173 4 to fail to do this will bring the unforgiving one himself under the chastening hand of god in govern ment as seen in the parable of the obdurate servant who refused the plea of his fellow debtor for mercy this principle abides even in the dispensation of the grace of god for grace and government go on to gether no one is more responsible to show grace to others than he who is himself the object of grace mock of the chastening that we as chris tians have p undergo can be traced to our hard and oftentimes relent less attitude toward those who have offended us we would save our selves much sorrow in the way of disciplinary dealing on the part of our father heb 12611 if we were more careful and considerate of others the historical setting having announced that he was about to build the church upon the truth of his divine sonship our lord instructed his disciples as to the discipline of that church and the spirit that makes for fellowship he was still in the region north of the sea of galilee tt was probably the year a d 29 verse by verse matthew 1321 how oft shall i forgive him peter had not risen to the true conception of grace which god had shown toward him and which he was to manifest to ward a brother verse 22 until seventy times seven seven is the perfect number our lord raises this as it were to its highest power our forgiveness is to be like that which god has given to us verse 23 a certain king which would take account of his servants in this parable the disciple is view ed as a subject of the kingdom un der the government of god who though he is our father exercises corrective discipline over his people 1 pet 117 verse 24 one which owed him ten thousand talents this was an immense sum whether the tal ents were of gold or only of silver it suggests one who has leen guilty of great offenses against the divine government verse 25 he had not to pay the offender is morally bankrupt no man can ever make up to god for the wrong he has done his lord commanded him to be sold accord ing to tne law then prevailing the insolvent debtor could be sold into slavery verse 26 have patience with me and i will pay thee all while no man could meet the full demands of gods holy law yet the attitude of this debtor is one of penitence and repentance verse 27 the lord of that ser vant loosed him and forgave him the debt even so does god deal with his erring servants when they face their sins in his presence and own the claims of his righteous government observe it is not the case of the forgiveness of an un saved man that is here before us but a servant of god who has grievously failed verse 28 one of his fellow- servants owed him an hun dred pence it was a very trivial sum as compared with his own great debt no one can possibly off end any of us to anything like the extent that our sins have offended a holy godpay me that thou owest to demand full satisfaction of n brother who has wronged me when god has dealt so graciously with my rreater offense is to act in consistently with the principle of grace verse 29 his fellowservant be sought him he takes the sam attitude toward his creditor that tho other had taken toward his lord and he should have had tho same consideration verse 30 he would not but went and cast him into prison the creditor was obdurate and not only refused forgiveness but cast his felow servant into the debtors pris- eighty miles an hour in a lattenrigged sail boat is the thrill sportsmen get on the icy surface of lake wilcox onj windy days members of the toronto ice yacht club can go faster than most express trains and they have to take sharp turns on oneskate or less be cause the lake isnt a mile long in most places eight yachts are already in service on the lake and the girls are taking to the sport just as eagerly as the men in fact they enjoy a spill as much as a race two of them went skimming over the ice after their boat turned over but they were back in the boat and sailing away in a couple of minutes but we frown on spills just the same said commodore bob mcleod good sailors are sup posed to keep their yachts up right and there is no risk in a well sailed yacht its fun and its a test of real skill the commodore has just com pleted a new craft that gives a new slant to the sport before a high wind it travels on just one skate but it has wings which carry other skates on both sides which hit the ice when the boat heels over only a few years ago yachts men used to skim over the frozen surface of toronto bay but the efficient little icebreak ing tugs have ruined the sport there commodore mcleod ex plained now he sails in the water at toronto in summer time but heads north in the win ter it takes real enthusiasm to go sailing on days when the mer cury is hovering near zero but theres a warm cozy club house right on the shore with lots of hot coffee and refreshments the girls enjoy a social half hour there and a half hour on ihe lake in alternate shifts all afternoon and the nice thing about ice boat sailing is that you dont fall into the water you just keep on skimming over the sur face when you and the boat part company said one of the girls who sailed away in the big red boat that carries the big golden name stan judge oconnell is leaving bench daniel oconnell judge of the

by those who were aware of the facis of the case verse 32 o thou wicked ser vant the indignation of the master was stirred by the perfidious con duct of the one toward whom he had extended such

consideration be cause of his inconsistency after ward observe that it is not that eternal forgiveness which god be stows upon tho believing sinner that is hero in view but tho forgiveness of one
