iraha vv the tribune stouffville ont thursday- nov 2b 194 qjij lmiffmu gjribmip established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pages weekly circulation 1750 copies subscription kates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 9250 a v nolan scs publishers notes and comments a touch of color the colors of cotton sewingthread were simplified on august 18 by administrators order no a346 processors of thread have been restricted to only 50 colors when the thread is to be resold to ultimate consumers and to 37 colors where the thread is to be sold to manufacturers of consumer goods the allowances seem reasonable enough but reading the lists of permitted colors raises a doubt as to whether the order is enforceable among the colors which con sumers are now allowed to buy are such shades as pirate green mother goose and monkey skin is there any agree ment among manufacturers consumers or even among pirates on the particular shade of green suitable for piracy any- one of several shades of brown could be chosen as representing the pigmentation of a monkey and who is the final authority on the color of mother goose it is also to be noted that most of the colors allotted to garment manufacturers are forbidden to consumers a manufacturer may use goldenbrown when he sews a but ton on a coat but when the consumer wears the coat and the button comes off as it invariably does he can obtain no goldenbrown thread to sew it on again he can buy tortoise shell or singalee or chinese earth whatever they may be but he will look in vain for goldenbrown nominations next friday evening next friday evening the ratepayers of stouffville are entitled to hear an accounting from the members of their municipal council members of the school board and if needs be the cemetery coirfmission it is the occasion of the annual nomination meeting which is being held earlier this year to escape the rush of the christmas season if you have any complaint to offer or want enlighten ment on something the council has done this is your opportunity to come out and question the men to whom you have entrusted this business of civic government furthermore from 730 to 830 you may nominate men to fill the office of councillor and reeve for the ensuing year and if you fail to actatthis time there is no other opportunity for twelve months not prepared for peace after this war we may expect a period of years in which no conclusion of hostilities is legally recognized a period of policing by the united nations there may never be an other armistice day perhaps that is just as well for if the forces of the en- were suddenly to crack wide open and the opportunity for making peace emerged over night would the peace we are prepared for be worthy of the sacrifices that preceded it the answer to that is disquieting we are not prepared for peace of course there are plans of a tentative sorlbut they do not represent preparedness for peace there are always plans in the files of war departments and war offices detailed plans at that which can be put into operation the montent war breaks out but these do not constitute preparation for war they aie a small part of it prepara tion for war includes the education of millions of people to stand against evil forces menacing order- preparation enough early enough would actually discourage the attack but preparation for the stand of free countries against the axis took ten years and was achieved too late to save the peace the creamery truck in farm lanes government officials attending the ontario creamery- mens convention in toronto last week asked the butter makers to offer suggestions on methods of savinggasoline and- rubber by curtailing the work of the creamery trucks the proprietor of the stouffville creamery suggested forthwith that creamery trucks be forbidden to enter farmers lanes which of course meant that farmers be required to deliver their cream cans to the highway much can be said in favor of the proposal although government- officials rather frowned on it they were afraid of farnvreaction according to the creameries a third of their truck expense for gathering cream is consumed in running in and out of lanes many of which are very poor and in the winter scarcely fit for travel by motor vehicle having to bid the time of day at the farm house also consumes time of the truck driver if it would lead to the farmer obtaining the saving in cream collections farmers would surely go for the change but the government doubted that the farmer could be sure he would get the saving one thing the saving in rubber and gasoline so neces sary at this time would be a benefit to the war effort the should be workable during the winter months at least that is the time lanes are least unfit for travel and it is a time when the farmer would have more to leave the cream can at the highway it is only once a week after all in winter there would be less chance of detcriora- cfrom excessive heat and so the ideal time to try out is right away say from december to april sunday schodl lesson the mission of the church golden text as uiy father hath sent uie even o end i you john 2021 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson the church is not an end in it self it is designed to be the in strument in the hand of the lord for the accomplishment of an end- and that end is the evangelization of the world so long as the present- dispensation of the grace of god is entrusted to redeemed men and women our responsibility as mem bers of the church is to make known the gospel message of re conciliation to all mankind in so speaking we are thinking of the church in its outward aspectas the body of believers in the lord jesus christ who meet together in local groups seeking to maintain a wit ness for god in a world that is in rebellion against im the moment the church ceases to be testimony to the saving power of christ it fails in the very purpose for which it exists to settle down compla cently in the realization that we are ourselves justified from our sins and so forget the great masses of unsaved people all around and about us is to dishonor the one we pro fess to serve it is our business to be contantly engaged- in winning others to him who- has redeemed us remembering that he died for all and that the same grace that met us in our deep need will avail for all who call upon him but here the old questions arise how then shall they call on him in whom they have not tielieved and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard and how shall they hear without a preacher solemn questions these surely no real lover of the saviour would desire to avoid them it should be considered our joyous privilege to carry to those still sitting in darkness and the shadow of death the knowledge of him who was the lightof the world while he was here in his humiliation but who now has com mitted the message of reconciliation to us and who says to those who believe in him ye are the light of the world when a local church ceases to shine for him he takes away the candlestick and refuses to acknowledge it as one of his assemblies verse by verse matt 1815 if thy brother shall trespass against thee here we shall have the earliest instruct ion regarding church discipline in chapter 1618 we get the first mention of the church here we see it as a group of followers of christ responsible to endeavor to maintain a standard of holy living and true christian fellowship evil arising within is to be reproved and the evildoer recovered if possible through faithful testimony verse 16 if he willnot hear thee then take with thee one or two more charges are not to be made recklessly an impitent offends er is to be given every opportunity to repent the one or two more are for competent testimony and it is their province to seek to res tore the wrongdoer verse 17 tell it unto the church this is the last resort and is only to be carried out of pre vious efforts have failed then when the church passes on the case and there is no acknowledgement of his sin the offender is to considered unfit for further christian fellow ship in this way the church of god is to ibe kept clean that it may be a suitable vessel of testimony to the world acts 18 ye shall receive pow er after that the holy ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses at pentecost the holy spirit came his work was twofold believers were baptized into one body and they were empowered for service all true witnessbearing must be in the energy of the holy spirit the disciples were to begin that testimony in jerusalem then throughout judea on into samaria and spread out to the uttermost parts or the earth the book of acts traces the stream of grqce from jerusalem to rome and the farthest limits of the known world chap 242 they continued steadfastly those who received the testimony of the apostles prov ed to be genuinely converted they wont on persevering and were soon distinguished from the surrounding mass as a separated calledout com pany who persisted in four things the teaching of the apostles the fellowship of saints the obser vance of the christian feast the breaking of bread and in prayer as they mot together to wait upon god in these things they became a pattern to those who were to follow after chap 61 when the number of the disciples was multiplied there arose a murmuring it is often so still with increasing numhers there arise- new problems here tho trou ble was caused by jealousy and it is interesting- and profitable to sec how it was met verse 2 it is not reason that we should leave the word of god and serve tables the lord never meant his ministers to be fretted and distressed by having to care for the temporal affairs of the church they have a higher calling namely ministering the word of god bnt temporal matters most not be ne- on 2ayd oj yvte from

to be cared for verse 3 look ye out seven men of honest report full of the holy ghost and wisdom such were the men who were chosen as the deacons or servants of the church in temporal things what a pity all deacons are not men of this cal iber it is as necessary ithat we be filled with the spirit in order to handle the distribution of funds and to care for the needy aright as h is to be enalbled ito preach the gos pel in power to the unsaved and to minister the word to the edification of believers verse 4 prayer and to the min istry of the word these are two things which god has joined to gether and which should never be be put asunder no one is fit to give out the truth of god publicly who does not have to do with god ii prayer secretly a prayerless prea cher is but a cumberer of the ground chap 1127 prophets from jerusalem unto antioch these local churches constituted one holy fellowship the prophets from jer usalem found a welcome at the church in antioch for they were all members of one body verse 28 agtabus signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world god thereby warned his people of trying times soon to ibe faced which should test their love one for another in a very special way verse 29 every man according to his ability these christians in antioch counted it a privilege to assist their hebrew christian bre thren it- was evidently a spontan eous outburst of brotherly love they gave gladly as they went en abled by god verse 30 they sent it to the elders by the hands ofbarna- bus and saul these devoted lab orers were thus permitted to con firm the love of the brethren among the gentiles toward those in judea chap 131 there were in the church that was at antioch certain tirophets and teachers five are listed here it was he who had raised up these gifted men to minis ter to edification verse- 2 the holy ghost said separate me barnabus and saul the time had come for a forward movement- the spirit of god de signated the servants whom he had fitted to go forth on a wider miss ion verse 3 when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them and sent them away this was not the ordination of barnabiis and saul to the gospel ministry both were already accredited ser vants of god but in this way the church expressed their fellowship of his church those who know christ for themselves go forth to make him known to others in or der that- they- too may enjoy the knowledge of his grace and- thus have communion with them the heart of the lesson the church is the divinely ral- scdup
