council to pro mote the issue oh no thats wrong if goodwood villagers want street lights they can have them but the ost would be paid by the village the council would never oppose lights in goodwood

who suff er should not expose themselves in unnecessary places particularly at parties or any gatherings where they are confined with other people wo heard a man say the other day that he got his awful cold through piay- iiig cards with soandso who had a terrible cold how inconsiderate it is for anyone with cold germs to spread them in other persons homes with whom they profess to be friends

post age and pay for collecting dog tax licenses dog tags will be issued by the assessor when he is on his rounds and he will be expected to see that everybody pays without exception the assessors pay is the same as last year mr cummings raised a fine point when he said that some people with two dogs are attempting to say one belongs to the man of the house and the other to the woman the idea is to evade the extra tax for keeping second dog one dog is 2 and a second is 4 it was decided that there is no provision in tho statutes for such an evasion and hill icoiiicfl said it was not their duty to

official dominion market re port says about it the poultry market has changed very quickly into one of the firmest experienced in years stocks of poultry in storage on dec 1 were over 1500 000 lbs loss than a year ago with every prospect that the shortage will be increased when january 1 stocks are published storage eggs have now been pretty well used up it has not been unusual in recent years for a rather considerable volume of storago eggs to be left over into december and even into january and this has had a depressing influence on the whole egg market situation this your the situation is ton- crcibtc sounder thats a strong argument isnt it to order kood chicks eg bray chicks early usually early chicks pay best early cockerels usually hit better markets early pullets are fully

section of stouffville is frequently visited by people who make a living and a good oue we imagine from soliciting alms from the store keepers these fellows often are escorted by some one probably to impress the merchants that they are not able to navigate on their own how tho public is preyed upon by the punkest kind of subterfuge was revealed in police court a couple of weeks ago in another town when a 52yearold man describing himself as a weaver in an iron and steel mill at hamilton and apparently as fit as a fiddle was depicted by the police putting on their show the cop explained how the down and out did his soliciting in front of three ladies of the village ho shook like a man in the last stages of palsy nud limped as if his foot was dam aged beyond repair he accompanied the performance by handing the women a printed card a cripples appeal- accidents will happen who can say one may happen to you some day so it is better to have and to give than have to ask in order to live please give what you wish i thank you the man was shown also to have gone limping and begging from store f store on one side of the street while his travelling companion aged g3 whom the crown described as a professional bum who had been here several times also did a limp ing stunt and handed out similar cripples appeal cards in other stores both are said to have got very abusive in certain instances where their appeal for funds went unheed ed addressing the stalwart able- bodied solicitor no 1 the magistrate said you seem to be alright now the prisoner replied in substance that he had been drinking and was under the influence when he faked his cripple act here but you had a big supply of printed cards in your pocket for soliciting alms as a crip ple when picked up by the police so your act must have been rearrang ed and premeditated declared the bench his fat and fussy companion was also said to have hada g oodly supply of a cripples appeal cardboards on him and was alleged to hpve done a lot of spurious limping for the better garnering of the aims solicitor no 1 who declared that he had never been convicted for any- ihing else but drunkenness seemed impatient to get hack to his job but a disgusted court told him and nis more seasoned companion that they would be remanded back to the cells for a week while investigation would he made into their past prior to passing

parable of the great supper is one of the most delightful and vet most solemn of all the gospel pictures siveh us in the new test ament it is delightful because of the way it sets forth the grace that is in the heart of god flowing out to the needy and sinful but it is most rolemn because of the manner in which mans response to the mess age of grace is portrayed there is a difference between this story as fiven in luke and the parable of the marriage feast as given in matthew 22114 here in luke it is the sovereign grace of god that is em phasized there in matthew the emphasis is put upon the divine government this is a great supper to which all are invited that is a marriage feast intended at first for the select few there the servants who carry the royal invitation are the ministers of the word sent forth to say come for all things are now ready here there is only no servant in view the blessed holy spirit and he does what man cannot do he compels men to come in this is beautifully expressed in an old hymn why was i made to hear thy voice and enter while theres room while thousands make a wretched choice and rather starve than come twas the same love that spread the feast that gently forced me in else i had still refused to come and perished in my sin nothing shows out the rigible evil that lurks in the heart of sinful unregenerate man like his readiness to find excuses for not availing himself of the rich provi sion which the grace of god has made for his blessing but nothing tells out more preciously the aboun ding love of god than the way he by the spirit triumphs over our re luctance and woos and wins us to himself verse by verse luke 1415 blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of god jesus had set forth the prin- church ciples of that kingdom in such a way that his mans heart was mov ed to admiration and his rapturous xclamation showed how impressed he had been with our lords instruc tion he thought anyone would esteem it a privilege to be invited to a place in that kingdom in the answer of jesus he showed that no man would ever accept such an in vitation unless compelled by the gracious work of tiie spirit of god verse 10 a certain man made a great supper and bade many it was god who prepared the- gospel feast the first guests hidden were the people of israel the jews verse 17 come for all things are now ready this was the mess age that was sent out while our lord was still upon earth to be re peated after his death and resur rection when the holy spirit de scended on pentecost the feast was spread the guests were summoned but the response was most dis appointing verse is they all with one consent began to make excuse pal- trv excuses they were too and such they are still when men try to give some reason for ignoring tho gos pel call the first man claimed he had to go and inspect a piece of land already purchased in that case it might well wait a more suitable time but he put property boforo obedience to the invitation extend ed to him many are making the same mistake today verso 19 i pray thee have me excused the invitation was polite ly but definitely refused this man had bought five yoke of oxen they meant more to him than a seat at the table of the gracious host who desired his participation in the feast verse 20 i have married a wife and therefore i cannot come there was no polite bogging off here it was either the wife or the feast and he chose the wife with many today it is either tho wife or the gospel or vice versa a husband or christ it is pitiable when marriage gods own ordinance designed for our blessing conies in between the soul and its salvation verse 21 the master of the house being angry the anger of god is directed against those who spurn the grace of the gospel in his indignation he set the leaders of israel to one side and commande j the servant to carry the message t those who were despised and lowly but who could appreciate the kind ncss of god in meeting their dee i eed and ministering to the spiritual distress verse 22 yet there is room the many who responded to the in vitation in israel as on pentecos and after did not exhaust th divine resources nor fill the house verse 23 go out compel that my house may be filled an so the message goes out into all tin world to lost guilty sinners every where telling of bountiful pro vision and a warm welcome to th least of love for everyone who wil accept tho invitation the compell ins power of the holy spirit accom panies the proclamation of th gospel breaks down opposition con vcts of need produces desire foi salvation and holiness and so draw the hungry to the satisfying feast verse 24 none of those me which were bidden shall taste tha is not one who excused himsel will be forced to come in men win decide against christ must be lef where their unhappy determinatioi uts them it was so with the lead ers of israel who despised the de duration of the grace of god it wil be true of all who care more foi
