the best off farmer farmers who have kept up their wood lots who have kept dobbin and nell and their equipment in good shape who have kept a flock of sheep and a good outfit of hens are in real luck these times farmers who do not allow themselves to become dependent upon the overrefinements of conveniences still are the most independent people in the world as long as the farmer keeps the major necessities of life under its own control such necessities as food water shelter and clothing are not subject to the lightning changes that are bound to come with the certainty of the season now that coal is difficult of transportation we are informed the farmer is well off who has a good woodlot in any case the overrefinements of living are costly and may prove sources of serious inconvenience progress does not always consist in possessing the latest ginger bread equip ment rse sii ja justly proud of our givings if ever there wasan occasion for the people of stouffville and the southern part of whitchurch township to feel proud of their patriotic givings it is now total collections for the red cross in the village alone ran close to 3000 with an additional sum of 800 from a section of whitchurch look over the individual givings and you will see that folks did fine practically every one of them measured with neighboring towns it is more than double the donations gathered in markham village or in the town of uxbridge with a much larger population to have given twice as much as either of our neighbors is due partly to the fact that we have a perfect working organization under president f l buttonkc and a people receptive to the needs of the hour always having in mind the boys who are prisoners of war in german and other enemy countries and who are dependent on the red cross for parcels from home in the first drive over a year ago for the red cross stouffville was given an objective of 1200 which was on a per capita basis this drive set at 3000 was based on what we actually paid in last time on both occasions more than the amount asked was forthcoming old fashioned money the strong public support for the governments price control policies indicates that most people in canada have oldfashioned views about money they want their dollars of today and tomorrow to bear as close a resemblance as pos sible to the dollars of yesterday price control gives john doe confidence in the continued value of the dollar and so he and mrs doe hope price control succeeds this should be an object lesson to politicians more canadians are putting away savings than ever before it will be harder for politicians of the far lefthand side of the house of commons to convince them that it would be beneficial to impair the value of their savings by introducing a new order based on glimmering innovations wed like to know more about it information men tell us that there is an unlimited supply of oil out there in the mackenzie river valley why is not more of that oil made available for canadians this hour oil from the usual sources is difficult to secure re sulting in serious loss and grave inconvenience with threat ened hardship this winter to tens of thousands in this em ergency why is not the oil within our own borders placed at our disposal further we are told that oil refining yields a byproduct valuable in the making of synthetic rubber fur ther still we are told that wheat offers a source of supply for making synthetic rubber and our canadian bins are stuffed to the roof with wheat with another heavy crop al ready in sight w are not the powersthatbe using the oil and the wheat two sources from which the needs of the hour for oil and rubber may be supplied are we to pass through another period of dillydallying farm living cost sharply higher

suffering ii christs words on the cross golden text he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruis ed for our iniquities the chas tisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed isa 535 the ldessox as a whole as we meditate upon our blessed lords sufferings on the cross we may well be subdued and hum bled as we remember that it was because of our sins he endured that awful agony we ourselves are the very why of calvary all his long life the lord jesus looked forward to this hour when he was to be immolated as the great sin offering fulfilling all the sacrificial types of the old dispensation hi one offering was to settle the sin question forever it was not poss ible that the animal sacrifices offer ed under the law should put away sin heb 104 there was not the intrinsic value in such blood to pay the debt of sin but because of the infinite value of the person of christ he could by his one offer ing make an available propitiation for the sins of the world so that upon the basis of his finished work god could proclaim remission of sins acts 133839 to all who be lieve in considering the sufferings of our lord on the cross it is im portant to remember that the six hours during which he hung upon ihe cross were divided into two partsfrom the third hour 6 am to the sixth hour noon the sun was shining down upon the scene during these hours the emphasis is put upon his sufferings at the hands of sinful men nothing that man could do to or against him had anything to do with making atone ment for sin but from the sixth to the ninth hour 3 pm darkness enshrouded the scene and the sop of man was hidden from the eyes of the throngs gathered about the cross while god was dealing with him about our sins then he was made sin for us 2 cor 521 then the bitter cup was pressed to his lips and he drained it to the dregs his awful cry of agony and aban donment my god my god why hast thou forsaken me tells us as nothing else could something of what is meant for him the holy one to stand before god as our surety and to bear the judgment which our sins deserved the historical setting whether the crucifixion was actually on friday as church tradi tion declares or whether on an earlier day as many students of the word believe is a question that may never be satisfactorily settled until we see his face but the great thing to realize is that when his hour was come he gave him self up to the death of the cross and there suffered that we might be saved it was on passover day a d 30 that this great event took place verse by verse mark 1533 when the sixth hour was come this was high noon and for the following three hours was darkness over the whole land this was during the last half of the period of the cruci fixion the darkness was super natural it was not an ecliipse as nothing of that sort could occur at passover time god was drawing a veil over the scene as his holy son was bearing the sins of the world verse 34 bloi eloi lama sabachfhani the words ujsed by our saviour to express the anguish of his soul are aramaic probably the language of his childhood as it was the bpeech of the common people generally after the return from babylon the interpretation is given my god my god why hast thou foisaken me it was not simply that jesus imagined him self forsaken he was actually in the sinners place enduring divine judgment against sin elizabeth barret browning with keen spirit ual insight has called this imman- uels orphaned cry he was for saken that we might know the aw- fulness of being abandoned by god in eternal judgment luke 2333 the place which is called calvary it was an incon spicuous hill skullshaped outside the city wall hut from the time of the crucifixion of our lord the most widelyknown hill in all the world even though its actual site has been a matter of controversy for centur ies calvary means a skull there they crucified him in this account by luke we are carried back to the beginning of the suffer ings of the lord jesus christ on the cross verse 34 father forgive them for they know not what they do this was our blessed lords way of lifting from the jews the fearful malediction of their own leaders his blood be on us and on our children matt 2725 he put them on the ground of manslaugh ter rather than murder and so opened for them a city of refuge num 3511 where all might find shelter who will flee to him in repentance and faith heb 6 1719 verse 35 he saved others let himself if he be christ the chosen of this was exactly what he could not do he had to die as the substitute for the sinners or none could be saved at all himself he could not save he on the cross must die or mercy could not come to ruined sinners nigh yes christ flie son of god must bleed if sinners would from sin be freed verse 36 the soldiers also mocked ita offering him vinegar this as john tells us was in answer to his agonized cry i thirst john 1928 29 had queens locket sergtpllot gordon pinder cush- ing who was killed in action recent ly once was given a locket by queen mary last december while walking along an english country road cushing was offered a lift in an automobile in which queen mary was riding the queen mother presented him with a locket bear ing her crest and coat of arms which he sent home the 27yearold airman was educated at st cathar ines ont in switzerland and montreal verse 37 if thou be the king of the jews to the soldier this was but a grim jest they could not not conceive of this bleeding an guished of grief as a king yet he was in very truth the true king of the jews and some day will be manifested as king of kings and lord of lords rev 1916 verse 35 greek and latin and hebrew pilates superscrip tion was written in greek the language of culture hebrew the language of religion and latin the language of woildly power all were united in the rejection of jesus as king verse 39 one of the malefac tors railed on him at first both joined in thus ridiculing and blas pheming him matt 2744 but as the hours dragged slowly on a change came over one of them verse 40 the other answer ing rebuked him one of the two hardened wretches was moved to repentance as he considered the holy sufferer on that central cross he realized that this was the one of whom the prophets had spoken who was yet to reign in right eousness though now in the same condemnation with sinners verse 41 this man hath done nothing amiss he confessed jhef justness of the sentence against himself and his impentitent com panion but he recognized the pur ity and holiness of jesus christ it was a wonderful declaration com ing at such a time and from such a source faith always justifies god and condemns self verse 42 lord remember me when thou comest into thy king dom it was wonderful faith that enabled this man to look beyond death to a coming kingdom where jesus was to reign he was divine ly taught otherwise he would never have identified that thorn- crowned man of grief as gods anointed king whose authority death itself could not void verse 43 to day shalt thou be with me in paradise in this an swer jesus tells him as it were you will not have to wait till i re turn to set up my kingdom in order to be remembered by me you will share with me from today on you shall be with me as one of my chos en my redeemed in paradise and he was for before that day ended at sunset the lord himself and the penitent malefactor the first tro phy of the work of the cross were together in the paradise of god verse 44 a darkness over all the earth now luke carries us on to the last half of the sixhour period during which jesus christ hung upon the cross we have considered this already as pre sen ted by mark verse 45 the veil of the tern pie was rent in the midst it was the hand of god that tore the veil in two from top to bottom matt 2751 in order to show that the legal dispensation was now at an end god was no longer hidden he could come out to man and man could go in to him heb 101922 verse 4 6 jesus cried with a loud voice it waf not the voice of one who was dying of ex haustion jesus laid down his own life when all was finished but this was a cry of trust and confidence as he committed his human spirit to the fathers care just before he dis missed it from its physical tenement the expression he gave up the ghost means literally he dis missed his spirit our
