and women who have sinned in some way against society the outcasts no matter what the crime the salvation army has proven itself a ready friend in the 1 past year 1286 prisoners entrusted to the

keep a greater mileage of market roads open this winter than ever before according to an editorial in the daily commercial news- the need what ever may be developing on the battle fronts is more urgent than ever since the pending liberation of europe will bring urgent calls for canadas agricultural products winter road maintenance today is backed by a greater volume of public opinion than ever before those who have had the service will oppose any move to curtail it thoie who havent had their roads kept open will seek to be in cluded allyear roads also are fostering the move towards better educational plant and facilities in rural areas pre- vious opposition to school section consolidation has been based to a large extent on the difficulty of getting children to the schools that would be erected under that policy it is now evident that winter maintenance pays for itself where there is reasonable density of population apart from other benefits conferred which means that primary rural education in the years following this war can at least be raised to a standard approximately that enjoyed in urban centres it may be noted that a bus service is being operated to and from stouffville high school for the second year but on a much larger scale than ever before it is depend ing on a good winter road about the upper part pf markham and the southern reaches of whitchurch other parts of these municipalities are dependant on winter roads in a similar manner in order to reach other high schools bylaws that ought to be enacted bylaws for the village of stouffville which are long overdue include one to regulate the erection of buildingj especially in the residential areas also a bylaw to govern ment the safety of public halls this latter bylaw- of course is only recently made necessary because of the change in the ontario statutes whereby the responsibility is chang ed from the government to the municipalities a bylaw to regulate the erection of houses having in mind their safety not only for the occupants but to other buildings in the proximity should have been enacted years ago it will be a source of satisfaction to learn that only last week the municipal council took initial steps to enact such a bylaw and it is hoped that it will become law ere theyear is out planned economy calls for dictatorship sugar is going to be short in 1945 the us british and canadian governments all agree on that but they do not agree on how to meet the situation the british and canadians want to meet it by clamp ing on severe restrictions now washington does not like this idea the point is that britain has not an election coming up and canada with an election coming up still figures that the public would not resent more restrictions on sugar regarding them as unavoidable the public of the us it is supposed at washington is likely to resent further re- this is the story as we get it from a very reliable strictions on sugar with an election coming up source it illustrates why so many students of public affairs regard a planned economy as impossible it we are to have democracies the planned economy in those democracies must be such as to please the people otherwise the government which makes these plans will lose the electionone of the stories of the advocates of planned economy is that when a boom gets going the gov ernment would sit on it no democratic government sat on the boom which started just before the great depression the plain fact is that a planned economy is possible under a dictatorship but not in any other form of society sunday school v lesson lesson for september 24 golden text the lord shall be nnlo thee an everlasting light and thyfgod thy glory isa 60 19 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson the title of the lesson seems to the present writer to be unfortu nate religion is a muchabused and widely misunderstood term it means literally to bind- back and suggests- the recognition of mans responsibility to god but it is too allinclusive for it covers all forms and ideas of supernaturalism a far better term here would be piety which means reverence for or the fear of god it is this that becomes the strength of any nat ion for the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom pro 910 in thenew testament av we find the word religion used only five timees in- three of these inst ances it refers to the legal system of judaism acts 26 5 gair 1 13 14 in the other two it refers to the behavoir that becomes a follow er of christ jas 126 27 it is never used as a synonym for regen eration- or for godliness or true piety james use of it comes near est to- this i that which david stressed was the importance of giving god his rightfulplace in the kingdom- to further this he brought the ark of the i covenant from the house of abinadab to mount zion though he failed the first time in not going according to the due order but rather copying the philistines by putting if on an oxdrawn cart 1sam 6 7 he was successful whehrhe went by theibook of god andit was carried on the shoulders of the priests so important- is it to act according to that whichls written his desire too to builda house for the lord was recognized by god as good 2 chfori 68 and nathahtheprophet agreed at once that it wouldbean excellent thing todo 1chron 72 but both ihe and david had to learnthat gods thoughts are ofttimes different from- those of the- best and most wellintentioned men david was hot to build the house that was to be the work of his solomon this however did not cool his zeal or cause him tobe less interested in the project he manifested a trulysubject spirit and in his pray- er as he sat before the lord he gave vent to his deep appreciation of the grace god had shown to- ward him verse by verse r 2 sam 717 all theese words and all this vision to under- istand these expressions read care- fully the preceding part of the i chapter i where we are told of jdavids desire to build a house for god in jerusalem and of nathan the i prophets encouragement in this until the lord spoke to him in fa night vision and bade him tell david that instead of the king building a house for jehovah god would build a house for him establishing his throne forever this is being fulfilled in christ the true sonofdavid and heir to the throne verse 18 who am i o lord god and what is my house that thou hast brought me hitherto overwhelmed by nathans declar ation in the l name of the lord david went in probably to his private apartment and sat before the lord there to pour out his soul in- thanksgiving praise and worship as he- contemplated the grace of god unmerited favour extended to one so unworthy as himself his family he felt had no title to such goodtjess as god had bestowed in the past and covenant ed for the future the sure merc ies of david include gods pre servation of his servant of old and the promise of the messiah to come through his lineage isa553 acts 1334 it was the recognition of all this that moved david to adore the god of all grace for his loving- kindness to one so obscure by natural birth and early training as he verse 19 thou hast spoken of- thy servants house for a great while to come by faith david could look down through the ages and see how god was to work out his wondrous plan of blessing for all the earth through the house of his servant who sat in his pres ence that day- the son of david the seed of abraham gen 22 18 and the seed of the woman gen 3 15 are one and hhe same and in him the promise is being fulfilled verse 20 what can david say more unto thee gods sovereign graces beyond human comprehen sion made it impossible for david to express his gratitude as he- de sired to do but he knew god understood he who knew the heart of his servant verse 21 for thy words sake and according to- thine heart hast thou done all these things god has magnified- his word above all his namepsa1382 he will nevergo backon that word to do so would be to be false to himself therefore david knew the astoun dingpromise god had made would be fulfilled to the-letter- he knew there could be no failure to per form what had been promised verse 22 there is none like thee the immeasurable graco of god awed the kings soul and gave him a new and deeper sense of the one who had taken him up in such tenderness and lavished such lov ingkindness upon him happy is it for us ailwhen we respond to the revelation of gods purpose of blessing in christjesus verse 23 what one nation in the earth is like thy people which thou redeemest to thee from egypt the convenanted bless ings were not for david alone but for the nation- as- such that nation israel whom god had re deemed from bondage and brought into the liberty which they enjoy ed under his gracious care while israel stands out preeminently as the nation of gods choice amos 32 yet any other people has similar reasons for thanksgiving and acknowledgment of the- divine intervention on theirbehalf which he has watched over and blessed with the knowledge of his word as in the case of our own america and other favored peoples in the world today how jealously we should guard the privileges bes towed upon us verse 24 thou hast confirm ed to thyself thy people israel to be a people unto thee for ever this is in full accord with the declarat ions of many of the prophets whatever her failures god recog nizes israel as his own and he will eventually restore her to him self inspite of all they have suffer ed they cling to the confession that jehovah their god is one it will not do to spiritualize this and say that by israel is meant the church of the present age the gifts and calling of- god are without repent ance rom 1129 he will not call back his words isa 31 2 and he has declared he will be troth israel unto himself forever hos 2 19 20 verse 25 now o lord do as thou hast said this was faith laying hold of the promise david put his amen to gods declarat ion and counted on him to fulfill all he had spoken verse 26 let thy name be magnified for ever and let the house of thy servant david be established before thee the latter is the natural outcome of the first david understood that gods glory and the establishment of his house were interdependent- how it would be accomplished he could not tell when our lord the son of david and the son of- abraham matt 1 1 returns in manifest power and majesty to sit upon the throne of david- luke 132 he will build again the tabernacle of david acts 15 16 amos 911 and the whole world will own him as king of- kings and lord of lords 1 tim 6 15 verse 27 therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee as david pondered over the entire revelat ion of the counsels of god regard ing himself his house and his nation his heart responded in fervent thanksgiving a part of prayer we ofttimes overlook it is so easy to take gods goodness for granted and while we plead for further evidences of his- consider ation to forget to praise him for what he has done alreadyor what he has promised to do in the future verse 28 thou art god thou hast promised this settled it fordavid he knew god and he knew he could reply- upon his word this exactly what faith is taking gods promises at their face value verse 29 thou o lord god hast spoken it and with thy bless ing let the house of thy servant- be blessed for ever- it was not poss ible for david to understand all that was involved in the covenant god had made with him but he knew it- involved unending bless ing that which had been pledged was to be confirmed in christ him self of whose kingdom there shall be no end the heart of the lesson even selfseeking balaam had to confess out of jacob shall come he that shall have dominion num 24 19 it was in the mind of god from the beginning to set up on earth a nation which should be for the display of his glory and over which the king of his appointing should reign forever this was confirmed to david and his house christ jesus of davids seed through mary is the one in whom the promise is fulfilled so long as israel walked in obedience to god and in the hope of the ful fillment of his word they enjoyed national prosperity and were in vincible in warfare as a typical people they show what god desires to see in any nation to whom his truth is committed true piety is a bulwark against evil from without and delivers from dissension witfr editors mail the tribune dear sir you published a letter from miss mable morton to which i had hoped to read reply from a more able pen than my own- she had theexciting experience of talking with the king and queen a day to remember and then you quote her as saying she finds england a most unusual country backward and blind and proud of both ye gods and little fishes now it is a great pity that some people who suffer from an inferior ity complex are impelled toex- press themselves in the way they do not thinking what their words imply i one man who spoke to me about the letter said it was a pity she did not realize her own blindness be- ing an englishcanadian and proud of it it is not seemly that i should answer so let me quote russel lowell one of the finest ambass adors that the usa ever sent to london on the british people he wrote an essay- on the early eng lish poet chaucer explaining the type and characteristics of the anglo saxon of the 1880 period and i write only a portion because of lack of space you may read his full text by referring to lowells my study windows the scott library edition page 224 here it reads in part he has made the best working institutions among the children of men his genius in his solidity and admirable foundation of national character- he is healthy in no danger of liver complaint with di gestive apparatus of amazing force and precision he is the best grazier and- farmer among men he raises the biggest crops- and the fattest cattle and consumes pro portionate quantities of both then he goes on to say that in the homely nature the idea of god and of a simple and direct relation between the all father and his children is deeply rooted and so i might continue to quote but i urge you to read it all for yourself to his closing words wherein he says of this anglo saxon race he is hard to move his very solidity of nature makes him terrible when once- fairly set agoing he is the man of all others slow to admit the thoughts of revolution but let him once admit it he will carry it through and make it stick a secret hitherto undiscoverable by other races yours truly j h wallwork ballantrae water before feed why should a horse be watered first and fed afterwards the answer js because of the compara tively small size of the horses stomach if
