page two the tribune stouffville ont thursday sept 4th 1941 established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pages average circulation 1500 copies subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments likely to curb instalment buying one of the chief forms of curbing unnecessary spend ing according to finance minister ilsley will be the forced reduction of instalment credit mr ilsley addressed the representatives of the canadian weekly newspaper con vention in quebec recently and cited this step as one which should be taken by his department in the near future a dollar down and a dollar a week must be stopped said mr ilsley he stated that people must not mortgage their future earnings when so much money would be needed for months now the government has tried every means at its disposal to urge citizens to curtail their ordinary expenditures in order to invest in victory bonds and war savings certificates buyers have still been urged to purchase on the installment plan and mortgage his anticipated future income for a long period ahead also such liberal terms increase the demand for ordinary goods the production of which require materials needed for war purposes an order by president roosevelt has authorized the reserve board to take necessary steps to curb this spen ding and it now remains for ottawa to take a similar stand farmers must disclose all gasoline used to claim rebate farmers who obtain gasoline rebate for fuel used in tractors engines and other power machinery using such gasoline are required to disclose all the gasoline they used in their motor cars and trucks as well very few do this yet their claims continue to be paid by the ontario dept of highways is is not an easy task for a farmer to demand a receipted bill for every two or three gallons of gasoline he procures for his car many gas stations have no account forms others are too busy to run back to their office from the tank to make out such a bill and would resent having to do so however the declaration form sworn to by the farm er warns that total gasoline purchased must be disclosed and supported by receipted invoices it would do the dept of highways no good to know what a man uses for his car one farmer on ten acres may use 25 gallons a month for his car while a neighbor on 100 acres may drive very little and only consumes five gallons in car use thus the dept could learn little or nothing from this information we cannot see the use of this regulation and the sooner it is discarded as a necessary part of obtaining gaso line rebates the better it is not enforced rigidly and if it were a lot of farmers would be robbed out of their rebate altogether it is almost impossible to obtain total amount of gas used in the average car various members of the family may buy the gas and someone forgets to obtain the receipts thus the claimant for gas rebate could not come forward and truthfully say that all gas was disclosed is gas rationing best policy an important point in considering further restric tions in gasoline consumption will be the effect on govern ment revenue is pointed out by the financial post which says that of the 855 millions canadas nine provinces ex tracted from the motorists last year about two thirds or over 56 millions was provided by the levy on gasoline now with a substantial dominion tax added this proportion and total may be far higher if motorists are rationed to cut gasoline consump tion by 25 or 50 pc then presumably the revenue on this fuel will be proportionately reduced because both revenue and a decrease in gas con sumption are urgently needed it might be advisable to for get all about rationing and simply step up taxes still far ther certainly not many cents would have to be added to the present levy to force curtailment in consumption but up to a point there might be no reduction in total tax revenue another very obvious advantage would be the low cost of such a move any scheme of rationing will mean the installation of complicated and costly machinery whereas the tax could be increased indefinitely without adding one cent to the cost of present collecting new western wheat rolls to elevators deliveries of new crop wheat by farmers in western canada now amount to some 11 million bushels they would have been larger except for widespread rains since grain was ripe which have prevented harvesting and threshing it does not appear that any considerable damage to grain grades has yet occurred from this source although such damage is always a possibility if wet harvest weather per sists long farmers deliveries of wheat are restricted by quota to five bushels per acre of the basic acreage for each farm which is usually 60 pc of that seeded in 1940 already the quota has been increased at a number of individual points to 8 and 10 bushels there will be comparatively little difficulty in accommodating first quota deliveries at most elevator points railway cars for shipment of grain out of country elevators are carefully rationed under regulations imposed by the canadian wheat board and shipments are allowed only from points where room is needed canadas big show canadian business stimulator number one that has become the apt tag applied to the canadian national exhibition by business men in every part of the dominion this worlds largest annual exposition which is now nearing the close is held in torontos exhibition park from august 22nd to september 6th demonstrates in this second year of conflict the value it has for the canadian manufacturer and industrialist following the policy which proved so successful dur ing the grim years of 1914 to 1918 the canadian national exhibition continues to function as a very real part of canadian life serving as a medium through which the empire is reflected to the world and through which valu able foreign exchange is gathered in the dominion and drawing visitors from every part of the dominion as well as from many points in the united states cne atten dance regularly runs between 1500000 and 2000000 and thousands of canadians and americans as well boast of their long and unbroken string of visits this show win dow of the nations as it is often called shows an annual operating profit actual business turnover during the fourteen days run of the exhibition is heavy and includes everything from stoves clothing farm implements cars and office equipment to precision instruments and an enormous variety and quantity of all kinds of canadian manufactured food articles the astute canadian manufacturer realizes that by exhibiting his products at the cne he is enabled to make a direct contact with the consumer a valuable experience for both which could be achieved in no ohier way 4 at the 1941 exhibition industry and agriculture is cooperating with the canadian armed services navy

will give thee a crown of life rev 210 the lesson as a whole the rook of revelation or the apocalypse is the great prophetic book of the new testament and is intimately linked with the old test ament book of daniel it is not it sealed book however rev 2210 as was the earlier apocalyse dan 129 in fact the unsealed itook of revelation breaks the seal on daniel here we have a forecast of things still future hut which must shortly come to pass 11 it readily divid es into three parts according to chapter 119 the first division is chapter onethe things which john had seen the vision of the son of man in the midst of the golden lampstands representing christ as the priestly judge in the midst of his churches on earth the second division the things which are embraces chapters 2 and 3 where under the similitude of seven let ters addressed to seven assemblies or churches where john had labored for years located in the roman proconsular province of asia wo have a remarkable outline picture of the moral and spiritual condition of the professing church from apostolic days to the end of its testmony on earth division three is from chap ter to 22 the tilings which shall be after these things events in heaven and on earth from the rap ture of the church represented by the twentyfour elder priests in heaven rigly on to the bringing in of the new heavens and earth the symbols used are all explained or plainly referred to elsewhere in the scriptures verso by verso rev 21 the angel ot the church an angel is a messenger the letters are addressed to the recognized messengers of the vari ous local churches those who min istered gods word among them he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand the seven stars are the messengers they were directly responsible to and controlled by the lord himself verse 2 thou hast tried them which say they are apostles and are not and hast found them liars these believers tested men who pro fessed to be christs apostles and when they found they did not ring true they refused to accept them as teachers of the word verse 3 for my names sake hast laboured and hast not fainted this church was char icterlzed not only by strict orthodoxy but by earnest laborious service and this for the name of the lord jesus verse 4 thou hast loft thy first love though there was so much to commend there was one fatal de fect which detracted from the value of all the rest for which they were given credit love was lacking note it does not say they had lost but left their first love the heart was estranged from christ himself verse 5 repent and do the first works the lord called for a return to the fervor and devotedness of early days otherwise he would remove the candlestick that is they would not continue long as a witness for him in the scene where they had been so mighty used in days gone by verse 0 the deeds of the nicolaitanes some suppose this to refer to an unknown sect who coupled licentious practices with a christian profession but the more likely supposition is that we should regard nicolaitanes as an untrans lated greek word meaning con querors or rulers over the laity this would suggest that extreme clerical ism which was exhibited in diotre- phes 3 john 9 10 and which was manifested very early in the church es and eventually became an es tablished authoritative system see verse 15 verse 7- to him that overcom- eth the overcomer is one who is born of god 1 john 51 in contrast to those who have but a name to live while spiritually dead rev 3 1 will i give to eat of the tree of life christ himself is

sought to destroy the church was satan him self the inveterate enemy of god and man who sought by moving the secular rulers against the christians to throttle the new movement in its early days but it

by the roman emperors in the first three centuries of the christian era to the faithful was promised a crown of life this is not to be confounded with eternal life which is gods free gift rom g23 but the crown signifies a victors wreath the reward to be given at the judg ment scat of christ for enduring suffering even unto death itself jas 112 verse 11 not be hurt of the second death this is the
