presses postwar planes mr mackenzie kings wartime government very un popular as may be expected is going to make a tremend ous bid to remain in power after the war as was emphas ized in the premiers final speech before he went to the london conference mr king told parliament that the government intends to pass this season its comprehensive program of legis lation designed to meet postwar problems and assure a high standard of living in the dominion after the war measures to be brought before parliament include a nat ional housing bill a bill to provide a floor under farm prices and a health insurance bill if reasonable agreement can be reached between the provinces- the housing program will include aid for building and improving farm homes and dwellings in villages and towns as well as in the large centres of population the family allowance program federally financed will provide monthly payments to parents according to the number of dependent children of school age in the family and is a direct bid for quebec support we imagine it will be of special assistance to those in the lower income groups the measure to place a floor under farm prices is design ed o keep agricultural prices from falling to unprofitable levels and to assure farm families a proper standaid of living health insurance will guarantee medical and hos pital services for a small annual contribution from those in lower income groups and without charge to those who cannot pay the minimum cost if the health insurance is based on the family income it will maintain a small army of tax collectors checking up everlastingly to determine what bracket even the small wageearner is in so as to assess him for health insurance that will be popular with the thousands of people now holding good jdbs collecting income taxes allinall mr king has a strong program and much good can come out of it for a better world that 44 per cent of our recruits are rejected as unfit for military service indicates the declining physique of the empire and should be a thing to cause sober thought bad habits take their quota and the unfortunate thing is that we see no change for the better in those habits we do not agree that the world is getting worse and worse as some maintain tout we have some towering evils that should be struck down with force the decline will continue in our physical state unless we deal strongly with these matters chief of which is drinking especially among women and cigarette smoking by the mothers the decline in our national standard will continue be cause the children brought into the world by mothers addicted to the cigarette habit are a miserable lot we are taught that the best way to avoid sickness is to lead a wholesome life and the best way to cure sickness is to ob serve a proper way of life even the chinese whom too many look down upon teach their people to shun tobacco and wine especially the women and not to covet money it has always seemed to the writer that instead of sending missionaries to china it should be the other way about much that western civilization has done to the native races in the way of any good is well outbalanced by so many demoralizing things spread among them for which we are responsibile something has to be done to clean up the cigarette puffing habit among women and then if we could remove womens beer parlors at the same time ontario at least would have performed a major operation that would get us back on more decent ground two periods for religion dr j g althouse provincial director of education has announced that ontario public and secondary schools will teach two periods of religious instruction each week which however we understand is optional a lot of people are not disposed very kindly to this step but it is going to be tried out in any event fuher change in the curriculum provide that cadet training and a health program will be introduced by the dept of education cadet training for the boys is good physical training and since we are to have no more wars there should be no opposition to instructing youth how to carry himself properly we have seen so many slouchy lads straightened up through cadet effort religious instruction is feared from some quarters as paving the way for a demand for more r c separate schools which bring on additional headaches and divisions in ontario and for this and other very well defined rea sons all protestants are not by any means as united for re ligious instruction given by teachers in many cases who make no profession of religion and who are not trained or qualified to instruct on such a matter provision is made for those who do not want this in struction to retire from the class room he may be cath olic jew or even protestant or infidel in making his announcement dr althouse paid tribute to the ontario clergy for their voluntary assistance in shaping the course of the proposed religious training to be taught in the schools and the method of teaching he said that little would be left for the individual teacher in hand ling the course both the courses and the method of teach ing will be very clearly defined it stated a text book or manual will shortly be issued when we presume the boards or the trustees will determine whether or not they wish to intioduce it in their school religious instruction in markham township is being given and with general satisfaction since the people of the municipality are very much of one mind on the issue here in stouffville there is a mixture of opinion even with the clergy on the wisdom of teaching religion in the schools there is also the lack of cooperation among the clergy in the past in meeting to form a course of study with the re sult that several ministersvisited the school to give in struction never knowing what the last instructor gave the classes and the consequence was that there was a great lack of continuity in the study given this of course can not happen when a set course is laid down by the depart ment money in old socks i in spite of the fact that 2 billion dollars were paid out for victory bonds in 1943 the chartered banks of can ada are now holding over 2 billion dollars in savings yet the present victory loan is not going over with a bang no not by any means we are speaking of the district around stouffville and in the town itself the objective here of one hundred thousand dollars is very high and will take some hard work on the part of the salesmen and some digging down on the part of the purchasers if the goal is to be l eached while the banks show the money is in their hands much of that money is needed for business operations but not all of it by any means there is however consid erable sums of money no doubt put away m old socks teapots coffee tins and under the mattress more money than ever before is stored in banks and carried around in pockets and pocketbooks all of which is a serious inflat ion threat if persons who hide away sums of 100 or more would only place the money in bonds it would be so much safer for them and just as readily available whenever it was required for spending sunday school lesson lesson for may 14th

companions pressed deeper into the country going on to thessalonica a main highway connected the two cities in this new field of labor they found ready acceptance at first un til certain unbelieving jews became envious of the gentiles who throng ed to hear the new message many of whom received it as the result of a not it was determined that paul and silas had better leave at once so they went on by night to berea where they found a much more open minded class of jews the old home town mthmoci by stanley who gave careful attention to the message and then searched their own scriptures to see whether the words of the apostle were corrobor ated convinced that the preaching and the scriptures were in full agreement many of these became believers the two thessaloman letters are the earliest of pauls inspired epistles they were written short ly after he left them while he abode in corinth the first immed iately after timothy came to him bringing a good report of the in fant church and the second a little later when he received word of certain irregularities that had sprung up false teachings in con nection with the doctrine of the second advent this glorious truth had been preached by paul during the few weeks of his stay in thess alonlca and was laid hold of eager ly by the young converts it is noticeable that there is some refer ence to it in every chapter of both these letters the first epistle deals with it largely from the view point of the rapture which is the hope of the church and the second the appearing in glory which brings judgment on the wicked followed by blessing for the whole earth verse by verse acts 17 1 they came to thess alonica where was a synagogue of the jews to the jew first rom 1 16 was ever pauls motto he felt he owed a debt to his breth ren after the flesh which he must attempt to discharge whatever the cost to himself verse 2 three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures this was the time he was permitted to speak in the synagogue he idid not try to startle much less to amuse his audience by delivering great elo quent and enteraining discourses he was an expository preacher in the truest sense as he opened up the scriptures which these jews already possessed and which they believed to be the word of god verse 3 opening and alleging that christ must needs have suffer ed and risen again and jesus is christ he had but one theme- christ dying and rising again from passage to passage he turned showing how perfectly the prop hetic scriptures in regard to mess iah had been fulfilled in the life death and resurrection of jesus verse 4 some of them believ ed that is some of the jews be came convinced of the truth of the message and trusted in the lord jesus christ for themselves how many we are not told but appa rently more gentiles believed than jews for we read of the devout greeks a great multitude and of the chief women not a few there were many hungryhearted dis illusioned greeks who frequented jewish synagogues seeking what paganism had never given them the knowledge of god and a con science at peace this they found as paul proclaimed the gospel in the power of the holy spirit 1 thess 2 1 our entrance in unto you was not in vain in his letter paul reminds the converts of the way the gospel first came to them verse 2 we were bold in our god to speak unto you the gospel of god with much contention un deterred by the shameful treatment endured at philippi paul and his company proclaimed with earnest ness the same message in thessa lonica even though there were those who opposed bitterly from the first verse 3 our exhortation was not of deceit nor in guile con scious of their own integrity the messengers of chiist declared the message in the fear of the lord with no corrupt motives nor cel- lsh desire simply to create a follow ing which would prove profitable to them verse 4 put in trust with the gospel it is a striking expression the gospel is a sacred trust com mitted to christs ministers in order that they may make it knoivn to the woild let men praise or blame they have no choice but to preach that which is commanded verse 5 neither used we flat tering words nor a cloke of covetousness they made no at tempt to ingratiate themselves with their heaters by preaching smooth things flattering to human vanity neither did they use the gospel as a means of obtaining money or other assistance fiom the world nor even from their own converts verse 6 nor of men sought we glory they endeavored to please him whose servants they were however their message might affect those who listened to it there was no attempt to curry favor with the people for their own advantage verse 7 we are gentle among you even as a nurse chensheth her children they had the true soul- winners instinct they loved those to whom they ministered and sought not to drive them by harsh invective but to win them by the grace of christ and then to care for them afterwaid as babes needing food and tender consideration verse 8 ye were dear unto us this explained their entire demea nor the shepherds heart moved them to imitate the good shepherd who laid down his very life for the sheep so they were ready to give themselves wholly to those for whom they labored verse 9 we would not be chaigeable unto any of you while lecogmzing the principle as he in sists elsewheie that it is perfectly right that the servants of christ should be supported by those to whom they minister paul would forego this right lest evil minds make it seem that he was motivat ed m his gospel work by the desire for gain he would rather work with his own hands than have his motives impugned m this way 2 cor 11 79 veise 10 how hohly and just ly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you preaching that is not backed up by a godly life is worthless but a holy minister is tremendous weapon in the hands of god for the pullmg down of satans strongholds it was the manner of life chap 1 5 of these missionaries that gave such force to their oral testimony veise 11 we exhorteu and comforted you as a father doth his children this is true pastoral service loving care for those who are m trouble or distress and an encouraging word for those who might be ready to falter by the way verse 12 walk worthy of god it was to this they were call ed he who was now their father would have them walk as his children elsewhere we read of walking worthy of the lord col 1 10 and worthy of our calling eph 4 1 business directory dental e s barker lds djw3 honor graduate of royal collect of dental surgeons and
