pointed out at the stouffville nomination meet ing on friday night only one department of the village of stouffville shows up in the red on the years operation that of the water works department in order to meet its obligations the water department negotiated a loan of 300 to meet its obligations of course it should not be forgotten that the water system has 5000 invested in bonds as a contingency fund the interest of which is placed in the working account and spent each year the principal would stand us in good stead if a major break in the system occurred any time a great deal of new mains have been laid the past few years and there is still more of this work to be done some of which may be pressing any time if certain pipes give out despite this seemingly poor showing last year the system is a valuable town asset our water rates are less than half any other town in york county so that if we do have to add an extra dollar to the tap rates as the council thought they would have to do last year water in stouffville would still be sold at a rate unequalled in cheapness in any town in ontario s they are doing reports from company executives indicate the women agents are doing a good job for themselves and for the companies they represent j in some areas it is estimated the number- of women agents licensed by the provincial governments has increased almost 200 per cent for example in his report on the 1943 business h g garrett superintendent of insurance for british columbia states the number of women life insurance agents licensed in that province in 1943 was 64 against 23 in 1941 it is believed this is fairly representative the same situation prevails in the united states- no sabotage cases amazing man man is still the worlds most miraculous mechanism in

appendix and bladder he can dispense with one kidney two quarts of blood onehalf his brain and all his teeth and still live and when he dies the brain survives ten minutes ears one hour blood molecules eighteen hours bones three days and skin five days it is gratifying to learn from the annual report of the royal canadian mounted police that they have yet to find evidence of any enemydirected act of sabotage in canada the force during the year ending march 31 last investigated 219 suspected sabotage cases and from our knowledge of the thoroughness with which these investigations are conducted we would say that there is no room for doubt but that the slate is clean as far as sabotage is concerned in canada while the publicity accorded members of the rcmp is to a large degree confined to its activities in the far north it has nevertheless carried out a wide variety of duties throughout the rest of the dominion members of the force have jurisdiction over the enforcement of federal laws and for that reason the large number of ordersincouncil which have been passed since the opening of the war have com plicated their activities to a marked degree the force has also been confronted to some degree with a manpower shortage brought about by enlistments in the armed forces and the fact that a considerable body of the force is serving overseas as members of the provost corps in this particular job they have set a fine example and done a remarkable job to fill the ranks a number of special of ficers have been sworn in and while some of them have not had the opportunity for the intensive training required of other members of the force they have filled in capably and well aurora and community war memorial- fund at a meeting of the aurora board of trade

the financial post points out oldtime prejudices against the women agents have dis appeared and been succeeded by enthusiasm for the work anyone who travels the rural districts of the dominion cannot fail but notice the great need there is for paint on farm residences and buildings remarks hardware and metal in many cases property looks as though it had never seen paint and in others lack of attention for a few years has resulted in a rundown appearance to many farms the magazine notes that for some years now farmers have been improving their finances higher produce prices have prevailed and farm income has been steadily on the upgrade agriculture in canada is on a more solid financial basis than for many years hardware and metal figures that under those circum stances the time has come for a general paintup in rural canada when one considers the type of residence and build ings which stand on farm property the article says it is not surprising that the agricultural industry was search ing before the war for means of keeping the younger generation interested in remaining on the land paint can do much to make farming more appealing buildings well painted are not drab and unattractive they verse 13 by one spirit are we all baptized into one body this is the church of the new dispensat ion the revelation of which was given to the apostle paul as he tells us in ephesians 3 and coloss- ians 1 all believers have been bap tized by or in one spirit into this one body the heart of the iicsson more and more christians are yearning for unity but many fail to realize that union and unity are very different a union of all sects and denominations would not an swer to the fellowship of gods son 1 cor 1 9 god has estab lished a unity consisting of all who are born of the spirit and through his baptism made members of christ and of one another the recognition of this makes for real fellowship among all who know and love christ directory dental e si barker lds dja honor

for these alonci but for them also which shall believe on me through their word that they all may be one john 1720 21 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson christian fellowship is something far deeper and more precious than mere companionship of like-mind- ed persons or a confederation of local assemblies it is a spiritual reality that is manifested by com munion with the redeemed of the lord every where the communion of the holy ghost 2 cor 1314 elsewhere it is called the com muhionof the body of the christ 1 cor 10 16 and the fellowship of his that is gods son 1 cor 19 into this fellowship all be lievers are introduced by the spirits baptism which makes them members of that mystical body of which the exalted christ is the head eph 530 the recognition of this unity of all christians not as denomin- ations but as individual members of- christ results in practical fel lowship and love for all saints it destroys narrow sectarian pre judices and enables us to recognize everyone redeemed by the pfec- ious blood of christ as being one with us in him he prayed that we all might be one john 17 21 it is sometimes said that it is a pity this prayer has never been answer ed but that is a mistake however much outward schisms have rent the professing church the glorious fact remains- that there is one body and one spirit even as ye are called in one hope of your call ing eph 44 the more our souls enter into this the greater will be the power of our testimony to the world manifested unity is the strength of the church of god and strikes terror to the forces of evil phil 1 27 28 verse by verse john 1718 as thou hast sent me i also- sent- them into the world- throughout this great highpriestly prayer of our blessed j lord he identifies believers with himself in family relationship and service as he was about to return ftoheavenbywayof jhe cross and ithe tomb he commissioned his own to carry on for htm in this scene as a people separated to himself they were to be in the woridbut not of it verse 19 i sanctify myself that they also might be sanctified to be sanctified is to be set apart he the captain of our salvation heb 2 10 set himself apart in devoted services for us and to glorify the father in order that we who are set apart by god in him may be practically separated from all that is unclean and unholy as we walk in obedience to the truth see v 17 verse 20 neither pray i for these alone that is for those who had accompanied him on earth whom he was now about to leave but for them also which shall be lieve on me through their word this includes all who to the end of time believe in him because of the testimony given in the word bythosewho first received it thus emphasizing the unity of all who put their trust in him verse 21 that they all may be one it is not here a question of what might be called the unity of churches or assemblies of profess ed christians that our lord prays for but rather for that unity of life and fellowship the unity that necessarily results from the bless ed fact that all beievers constitute ondgreat redeemed family we are of course responsible to manifest this unity not necessarily by church federations or councils but by personal interest in and love for all who belong to this great com pany all who are born of god as this unity is thus displayed the world will believe that our mess age is of god whereas our strifes and divisions give them occasion to ridicule and blaspheme that worthy name whereby we are called verse 22 the glory which gavest me i have given them there is a difference between chrises essential glory as the son of the father from eternity v 5 and his acquired glory the latter he obtained from the father as the obedient man this glory he shares with us in view of it he again speaks of unity that they may jjc one even as we are one this unity will be displayed when we are associated with him- in glory at his return verse 23 that the world may know if will not then be merely a matter of believing but of actual knowledge when we shall appear as one in the same glory with christ himself then god will show that he has loved us even as he loves his blessed son 1 cor 11 paul an apostle through the will of god paul was no selfappointed laborer in the vineyard of the lord he had been awakened by the vision of the glorified christ saved by his grace and commissioned by the lord himself to go forth in his name as his- ambassador to the nations proclaiming forgiveness of sins and justification- from all things for all who trusted the sav- iour acts 1338 39 verse 2 the church of god at corinth with all that in every place call upon the name of jesus christ our lord assemblies of christians in apostolic days con stituted one fellowship wherever they might be located individually all held the same precious faith all proclaimed the same blessed gospel and each was recognized as the expression of the body of christ in the particular place where he was found many divis ions have come in since and many unsaved ones have come into vari ous churches but true believers still constitute one holy fellowship as the sanctified in christ jesus verse 3 grace be unto you and peace it is not here the grace that saves but the grace that sus tains nor is it peace with god rom 5 1 that is here in view but the peace of god phil 4 6 7 which garrisons the heart against discouragement and enables one to press on in spite of adversity chap 12 4 diversities of gifts but the same spirit whatever may be the distinctions as to gift and ability all are alike given by the one indwelling holy spirit who fits each one for service if he is permitted to have his way in the life verse 5 differences of admin istrations but the same lord ah are stewards and each one has his own special responsibility to the one lord jesus christ the head of the body verse 6 diversities of operat ions but it is the same god which worketh all in all here it isgod the father that is in view who judgeth according to the works of each 1 pet 117 so in these three verses we see the entire trinity of the godhead all concerned about me duilding up and equipment of the members ofthe of christ for service and testimony verse 7 the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man to profit withal each member of the body of christ has some gift which he is responsible to use for the edification of the whole fellow ship verse 12 as the body is one so also is christ paul here uses the human body as an illustration though composed of many mem bers it is one whole so also is the christ the definite article really belongs here the christ includes our glorified head and all his members stouffville floral roses wedding bouquets funeral designs cut flowers milt smith prop
