r1fyrr page two the stouffville tribune thursday february 26th 1942 1 v r ljp ouff mile uribmu 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 iir canada 200 in usa 250 5 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments invest for freedom the people of- canada are given an opportunity through the dominions second victory loan to help finance the countrys growing war effort and there is every reason to believe that they will respond fully and promptly in every call so far made the people have realized the need and have subscribed nobly indications are that they are prepared to bear a greater burden they know that there are only two ways the government can raise the money to carry on the war by taxation and by borrowing as be tween taxes collected without any return to the taxed and money loaned at a fair rate of interest the choice naturally must be in favor of the investment plan there is no safer investment than victory bonds and when the security is considered they are quite profit able savings accounts in the banks give a return of 1 per pent interest the same money in victory bonds brings as high as 3 per cent and they are marketable at any time to invest in victory bonds is a duty we owe to our- selves and to our country we must do our part as individ uals and as a people who desire to retain their freedom community hospitalization there is a strong movement afoot to introduce a sys tem of municipal doctors and community hospitalization in ontario already it is working out to good advantage in some sections of the province and is in wide use in western canada health authorities and governments- should take aggressive steps in this direction many people hesitate to go to the doctor or the hospital because of the costs health and hospital insurance should talte precedence over live in surance and should include every person in the community lincoln pierced the gloom reading the other day about the puzzling attitude of lincoln at the time his armies were being pressed backward they had lost several strategic places famous of them be ing bull run and gettysburg the union army was truly fighting a losing battle as the allied armies are doing today records show that lincoln was puzzled as to why god per mitted the war he was among millions who that evil couldeminate from the source of all good millions still suppose that but millions more are beginning to learn that war crime evil of all sorts will manifest themselves only as long as they persist in human consciousness trying to reason it out lincoln wrote v the will of god prevails in great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of god both may be and one must be wrong god cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time in the present civil war it is quite possible that gods purpose is something different from the purpose of either party the will of god prevails lincoln clung to that truth throughout he never affiliated with an organized church yet he often went to his knees in prayer or walked the floor at night talking with god seeking guidance thousands of union boys were falling in battle and the cries of bereaved families rang in his ears he was beset by an organized movement of the isolationists and fifth- columnists of that day yet he did not waver through all the clouds of gloom through all the smoke of defeat and black depression lincoln saw that there could be only one outcome he was convinced of gods omnipotence and of his justice therefore he had faith that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom farm implement quotas are here in recent weeks we have witnessed used farm imple ments on the farms about stouffville selling at auction sales for prices that the owner paid for them 25 and 20 years ago one reason for this may be the knowledge that parts for worn implements are going to be hard to get and serious holdups may be caused where a part breaks and cannot be replaced for weeks limitation of production is promised by the farm implement class which is being placed on a quota farmers who are wise will check over their machinery and see that implements are in running order dealers in implements are required to place their order for stock and it must be a lean order too they will not be permitted to stock up- according to the financial post all retail sales must be on a down payment of at least 40 per cent of the selling price and the balance shall not be spread over more than 24 months to ontario farmers who go out and pay spot cash for implements at auction sales where a turnover of tliree or four hours will total 2000 and 3000 this would appear to make little difference production of all types of farm implements for the period of nov 1 1941 to oct 31 1942 says the post has been put on a quota basis expressed as a percentage of pro duction in 1940 quotas run all the way from 50 pc for potato planters to 200 pc for cream separators and milk ing machines attachments and repairs are on a 140 pc quota basis sun lesson lesson for march 1 thk parables by the sea golden text never man spake like this inuul john 746 tin- lesmm as a whole in these parables our lord set forth the condition which he saw the kingdom would take on earth as a result of his rejection this ivas all foreknown to god and provided for christ refused by the leaders of tin nation of israel by his sacrificial death upon the cross made propitia tion for sin acts 2231 john 410 and then as the rejected man left this scene ascending to heaven where he sits exalted at gods right hand the kingdom of the prophets is in abeyance until his promised re turn to build again the tabernacle of david which is tallen down acts 1516 but during his personal absence the holy spirit has comein a new way as the comforter to en able his servants to preach the word in convicting power john 16711 whereever thegbspel is carried it is the seed of the kingdom luke 811 as a result we see in the world today great body of people who recognize in the lord jesus earths rightful king and give him heart allegiance verso by verse matt 1344 the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field from of old israel was gods special treasure exod 195 the lord himself is represented by the man who found and hid this treasure at calvary he sold all that he had and bought the field which is the world matt 133sat present the treasure remains hidden when israel turns to the lord they will be- manifested as jehovahs peculiar treasure mai 317 rv and through them blessing will come to all the gentile nations verse 45 like unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls again the seeker is christ who came from the throne of- glory to this poor world seeking for jewels to adorn his crown forever verse 46 one pearl of great price this is the church which is of supreme value in his eyes for which he gave himself at the cross he sold all that he had and boughtit there he literally im poverished himself to purchase the church as his own choice pearl eph 525 2 cor 89 many think of salvation as the pearl and thesin- ner as the merchantman but that is to invert completely the message of the gospel verse 47 the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net it is liter ally a dragnet this well illustrates the present work of the professing church when vast numbers of both saved and lost are gathered in from the waters of the nations rev 1715 and are numbered among the professors of faith in christ it will also have its counterpart in the far- reaching ministry of the remnant of israel in the days of the great tribu lation verse 4s gathered the good into vessels but cast the bad away when the dragnet is full it is drawn to shore and the good and bad fish es are separated from each other this depicts what will transpire at the end of the age verse 49 so shall it he at the end of the age margin it is not the end of- the world that is in view but the consummation of present ago of grace immediately preceding the ushering in of the age of the king dom in full manifestation verse 50 wailing and gnashing of teeth the last expression shows that judgment does not necessarily produce repentance when the final separation takes place the false pro fessors will he cast away in judgment which results in wailing because of the suffering but gnashing of teeth because of their hatred against god and his christ psa 3c16 lam 2 16 mark 426 so is the kingdom of god as if a man should cast seed into the ground this is the first figure used by the lord in matthew 133 and again in verso 24 of that chapter it sets forth the work of the lord and his servants in sowing the good seed of the gospel as they pro claim his message to mankind verse 27 the seed should spring and grow up he knoweth not how the process of fructification and grvwth must be ever a mystery to the human mind and so with the work of the spirit in the heart of a man as he uses the word to produce the new life verse 28 first the made then the car after that the full corn in the ear no one can explain natures mysterious process nor can anyone understand just pox- spiritual growth when the word is received in the heart he who has begun the good work will perfect it unto the day of and development take place but christ phil 16 verse 29 when the fruit is brought forth the harvest is come he who caused the seed to produce will garner the harvest when the
