drews suggestion of training shock forces in canada is being discussed in official quarters p where are the old rifles where are the old rifles those which turned back the huns in the great war and thus became partly wrecked in the struggle everybody seems to have forgotten them they have been retired pensioned so to speak left in arm ories and other odd storage places throughout the country but the government like the elephant has a long mem ory it knew where they were rifles are hard to get de livery is slow so these veterans have been called in for fur ther service they are now in an ontario town thousands of them undergoing renovation fifty men are in the plant doing nothing else but turning old rifles into new if they could only speak what tales these battered veterans could tell they were in every conflict in the great war in every advance in every retreat they witnessed magnificent courage much tragedy some comedy such is life to a rifle on active service some of them carry stories on their faces the initials of the men who held them the initials of the girls they left behind them sometimes they carry the names of battles the grim notches filed in the barrels are records between the lines of foes slain in battle some are worn beyond hope of repair but they have salvage value it is always possible to take some parts from one and some from another also worn and now useless and by adding the parts together and supplying some which can be made in the plant provide a new rifle at least as service able as if it were what parts wear out first it may be the handguards quite often it is the barrel or the forends the wooden section under the back part of the banel the barrels pass through some rather trying experiences sometimes as is natural in a gun which has served in war it has failed to receive proper attention it may be left out partly buried and for some time uncleaned the inner surface of the barrel starts to corrode the rifling is destroyed and it is no longer an effective weapon the influence of the newspaper this past week has been marked as national news paper week a week when the canadian weekly news papers have been calling attention to themselves and their place in the community 1 it is unlikely that the vast influence of the news paper on the life of the community in which it is publish is felt by any great unmber of its readers they look to it for the news of the community they consult it for dates and hours of meetings of all kinds church business fraternal organizations college lectures school entertainments agri cultural developments and all gatherings they depend upon it to keep them informed of special bargains in the mercantile establishments they also expect it to give them entertainment and take their minds off the sordid news of the wars subscribers may criticize some of the features of their newspapers when they forget that it is printed for the entire public and not for this group or that and that its purpose is to give all elements in the community a feel ing that it is their newspaper and interested in all of them or they may laud its broad principles and the services it renders their town or city but they seldom take time in a busy world to realize fully the enormous influence the news paper exerts in the lives and on the opinions of its readers who make up the greater part of the population of the re gion in which it is published the newspaper touches all phases of the life of the people in and out of the home by its frank publications of local news of all kinds not whitewashing unpleasant facts but stating them clearly that readers rray familiarize themselves with them and use the weight of their individual and collective influence in voicing lisapproval and effecting reform it has an untold thovgh often unrecognized part in such reform the newspaper up holds all religious and educational causes by giving them much publicity in its columns

he was determined not to miss what might have been his only opportunity to see him of whom such wondrous things were said verse 5 when jesus came to the place he knew well all that had transpired and all that was going on in the heart of this publication no man ever sought to see jesus unless jesus had first thought of him the saviour stopped looked up and called the man by namezacchaeus he exclaimed make tiaste and come down it is thus he speaks to all who fancy that by climbing to with the long evenings at hand farmers who have occasion to fre quent the highways with horse- drawn

the kings highway traffic officers state that many farmers in these days of early twi light apparently delayed in reaching the home corral with team and wagon travel along the highway with no light whatever and some minor accidents have occurred the farmer who thus frequents the roadways places the onus on himself should any serious accident occur and he would be held responsible for damage done

greatest and readto be a guest in the home of this one whom the people had abhorred but whom he had come to save verse 6 he made haste and came down and received him joy fully note the three things men tioned there was no delay with eager haste the needy sinner obeyed the word he came down and so in to the very presence of the son of god who had become son of man in order to save such as he he re ceived christ with joy and the out ward act was the evidence of inward faith zacehaeus great moment had arrived and he responded in fullest measure verse 10 the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost zacchaeus was lost and jesus had come to jericho to seek him out and to save him this is ever his mission men by nature and practice are lost it is not merely that they are in danger of being lost in the day of judgment they are lost now and they need a saviour an example will not do jesus did not come to show men how they ought to behave in order to save them selves he recognized their lost estate and came to seek them out in the devious paths of sin and to save them by his grace the lord jesus christ is not mere ly a helper lie is the saviour he does not offer to assist those who are are endeavoring to deliver them selves he comes to have them it is a mistake to think of him as a crutch or a makeweight who in some way will mako up for mans failures providing the sinner endeavors to do his best he must do it all a little irish boy exclaimed once when the glory of the gospel burst upon his soul i always knew that jesus was necessary but i never knew before that he was enough this is the lesson god would have us all learn then wo can sing with repoicing jesus paid it all all to him i owe sin had left a crimson stain he washed it white as snow iness to serve is a mark of superior ity verse 27 whosoever will be chief among you it is not that one who sets out with the determination to become an acknowledged leader but he who takes the servants place who will be recognized by god and by all who are spiritually minded as in the path that leads to greatness see the case of epaph- roditus in philippians 229 30 verse 28 the son of man came to give his life a ransome for many as the servant of the god head he came from the gloriss of heaven to the manger at bethlehem and the carpenter shop of nazareth to take the servants place but this was not enough to put away sin he went to the cross and gave himself lor us a sacrifice on our behalf that he might redeem us to god by his own blood luke 191 jesus entered and passed through jericho jericho was the city of the curse josh 626 it is a fitting type of this poor world lying under the judgment of god into this scene jesus entered in grace as he passed through lie manifested his saving power to all who trusted him verse 2 zacchaeus chief among the publicans and he was rich as a representative of the hated roman government engaged in farming the taxes and so impover ished his own countrymen zacchaeus was an object of derision and detest ation to the jews all his wealth could not bring him within the pale of respectable society he was a lone lyhearted outcast though reveling in riches money cannot buy happi ness verse 3 ho sought to see jesus was it only curiosity or was it a sense of personal need that moved this man to determine to see the prophet from galilee of whom he

local or provincial or national political happenings society notes information on homemaking and housekeeping agricultural news or whatever one paper is scarcely enough for a family of eager readers
