nolan son publishers notes and comments store hours closing the local stores on wednesday- and again friday night last week didnt go over very we with the general public from reports received in this office the local bank branch in particular brought the ire of many a customer as they closed down at 3 oclock friday afternoon after instituting a system of being open until 6 pm friday quite a number were caught with uncashed pay cheques for the weekend while some stores did remain open wednesday morning there was no formal announcement made the week previous and few knew of the move no doubt the long weekend caused inconvenience to people but it will be some years before new years falls on saturday again so there will be no repetition on that score the boxing day holiday at christmas met with belter favour because it was gen eral over the province the meeting of merchants this week it is hoped will set a firm pattern for store opening throughout 1955 so that stouffville is not accused of having a hitandmiss system the age barrier a team of medical researchers in the united states has come to the conclusion that men and women are confronted by a mysterious invisible barrier at some time between the ages of 60 and 75 if they succeed in breaking through this barrier they have a fairly good chance of living to be 100 the barrier is described as a period in which cer tain biochemical and physical processes seem to reverse themselves and halt aging in some respects those who have passed through the barrier actually begin to grow younger in certain ways just why this happens is not known the researchers who surveyed more than 1000 per sons between the ages of 80 and 100 came to the con clusion that most men and women die when they come to the barrier or when they are trying to pass through it those who succeed in hurdling the barrier have a good chance of being interviewed by reporters on their hundredth birthday and of giving their views on how to live to a ripe old age in this connection it is noteworthy that sir wins- ston churchill celebrated his 80th birthday recently chances are he has passed through the mysterious bar rier and may now look forward to possibly another score of years during which he will grow younger in certain ways this news should be broken gently to the british labor party and to the hopefuls of the conservative party otherwise they may age prematurely from the winnipeg tribune cars that derail trains at beeton cpr crossing described as affording an unrestricted view a motorist drove into a speeding freight and derailed 11 cars the automobile was dragged 200 yards but the driver crawled out the news reportstates announcing im fine well thats just dandy but lives of the train crew were endan gered hying wheels just missed the station agents living quarters and damage to the cars is sooooo the engineer of the cpr dayliner which hits 80 mph sounded warnings in vain to a car approaching a crossing at hornby the driver 82 was fatally injured the train with 70 passengers swayed but kept the rail it would be easy to list numerous instances of the kind including derailment by a truck of a through cnr passenger train east of montreal the company sued for 250000 and a settlement out of court was reached another cartrain collision in quebec resulted in a suit by the cnr for 8117000 damages howard b chase a member of the transport commission and former railway man said recently that one crossing crash in every two or three is the result of a car being driven into a train trains cannot swerve nor stop as quickly as high way vehicles in general the responsibility for care at crossings rests with the operators of motor vehicles a jury award of 40000 damages to car passengers in a thb collision was thrown out by the appeal court indeed the railways sue and collect a sizeable sum an nually over crossing crashes but nothing like full re imbursement one would expect that newspaper pictures of auto mobiles after encounters with trains would deter driv ers from tnking chances crossing accidents point up the desirability of stricter driving tests and of much heavier penalties for drunken and impaired driving toronto telegram mans pedigree copied three monkeys sat on a cocoanut tree discussing things as theyre said to be said one to the others now listen you two theres a certain rumour that cant be true that man descended from our noble race the very idea is sure a disgrace no monkey ever deserted his wife starved her babies and ruined her life and youve never known another monk to leave her babies with others to bunk or pass them on from one to another till they hardly knew which one is their mother and another thing you never will see a monk buiid a fence round a cocoanut tree and let the coooanuts go to waste fprbidding all other monks a taste why if i build a fence around this tree starvation would force you to steal from me and heres something else a monk wont do co out

whirring about on main street and the truck drivers are mak ing almost daily trips to to ronto the inaugural meeting of the 192fi stouffville council was held in the clerks office on monday morning when the new members took the declara tion of office as follows reeve f v silvester councillors f w silversides jos borinsky h v sanders and john clea ver w h brillinger presented the tribune with a fine 15pound cabbage last saturday a fair sample from five carloads that he and his sons shipped out from the local station between wednesday and friday the cabbage market is somewhat improved of late local growers realizing around 9 per ton something to say seems a lit tle strange but a speaker must have something to say which is of vital interest if he is to in terest others he must speak on a subject on which he has made sufficient preparation and done enough thinking that his material will hold the interest of his listeners colourful illus trations which are well chosen and an occasional striking ac curate statistical fact add to a speech a speaker should choose the most interesting and essential pieces of informa tion about a topic and never attempt to say all he knows at one time a dictionary should be consulted in case of doubt about the exact meaning or pro nunciation of a word poise and selfconfidence are two characteristics of a good speaker who is able to forget himself good grooming and suitable clothes are a great asset an audience even a school classroom takes a mo ment or two to- thoroughly ex amine a speakers appearance and decide whether or not the total effect is pleasing psychologists state that the desire to he important is one of the fundamental human py contact by telling a story an audience falls in love with a speaker who can poke a little fun at himself because he seems human and approach able once introductory remarks are over without apology or delay plunge right into the speech state clearly and con cisely what is to be said avoid ing roundabout expressions like it seems to me or annoy ing hesitating er-r-rs- do not worry about an occasional pause likely the audience will be glad of the chance to catch up with the thought most speakers go much too fast be sure that everyone can hear what is being said there is a tendency to pitch ones voice too high in the excite ment of making a speech the middle register is most rest ful with some variety in pitch and in rate of speaking the importance of clear en unciation and distinct articula tion cannot be overstressed mrs macy the famous teacher of helen keller was a much soughtafter speaker she had learned the vital importance of giving each word its full value if a few natural gestures come easily use them but do not use an artificial motion or one gesture over and over the final piece of advice to sit down once the speech is completed may seem foolish but countless good speeches have been ruined by speakers who failed to do just that ev en after they have finished their remarks they have gone on and on past several excel lent stopping places until the audience was weary and bored every speaker should find out the exact length of speech which is wanted by the group to whom he is speaking then keep well within that time lim it it is better to be too brief than to be too long business directory dental this weeks sunday school lesson 1931 january 22

january 9 golden text god is a spirit and thej- that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth john 424 the ikssox as a whole approach to the lesson in one of his dramatic ser mons alexander whyte re minds us of the advice of pat- emus to his son think mag nificently of god one of the greatest weak nesses of our western chris tianity is the inadequacy of our conception of god the hea then have expressed their tho ughts of their gods in images of stone and wood many of them depicting monsters of cruelty and lust we have expressed our thoughts of god by our ir reverence our disobedience our neglect of holy things and our easy attitude to sin hence we do not impress others with the grandeur the majesty the holiness the greatness of god i heard once of an american tourist in egypt to whom an egyptian moslem remarked you christians fmust have a very small god asked for an explanation he continued when we moslems pray to our god we prostrate ourselves before him for he is greater than all but i have seen some of you christians pray to your god leaning against a post with your hands in your pock ets you christians must have a very small god the rebuke is surely deserved by many of us not that physical posture in prayer is of primary import ance but it is frequently in dicative of a general attitude our conduct in big matters and small will quickly reveal whe ther or not we think magnifi cently of god our lesson portions ought to help us to correct our faulty concepts for they present god in a variety of his excellencies and call us to worship him who is over all god blessed forever romans 95 verse by vere psa h iord u mer ciful and gracious slow to i weary in upholding the cause anger and plenteous in mercy of his people we have here a reminder of verse 29 he givth power gods attitude to the people ofto the faint he increaseth his choice he is jehovah the strength not only does his covenant god j strength not fail but he pro- verse 9 he will not vines strength for those who according to our iniquities the reason of this is of course that our sins have been fully dealt with on another our sub stitute my sin deserved eter nal hell but jesus died for me verse 11 for as the heaven is high above the earth his mercy his lovingkindness is not of earths measure but of heavens verse 12 as far as the east is from the west hath he removed our transgressions from us i am glad it does not say as far as the north is from the south for that can be measured by the poles but there are no east and west poles to establish the measure of east from west verse 13 like as a father so the lord pitieth this is no mere sentimental pity but the pity of complete under standing and patience isa 4025 to whom then will ye liken me saith the holy one notice the title of god here tiie holy one a comparison of god with other gods has no basis in reality both in character and in work he stands alone verse 25 who hath cre ated these bringeth out their host calleth them all by names not one fail- cth he has created the heav enly bodies has ordered them has named them all and pre serves them all incidentally men have named a few of the stars for identification while god has named them all as his property verse 27 why sayest thou my way is hid from the lord these are the com plaints of discouragement and unbelief god doesnt see me he has given up raring for ray cause if he ever did have a care- verse 28 the lord fainteth not neither is weary no searching of his under standing but the prophet rings out the truth that it would be contrary to the very nature of god to lack knowl edge of a situation or to grow keep his anger for ever the words his anger are sup plied by the translator and fit the context notice that the verse does not say that god never chides or that he is iver angry but he has found a way of turning away his have none his resources arc- inexhaustible matt 69 our father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name the faint glimmer ings of god as father in the old testament come to full dis play in the new testament anger he has effected a great j especially in christ but the reconciliation in the blood of j intimate term father is join- christ ed to a reminder that tie u verse 10 he hath not dealt isiill the transcendent god in n iruth omit the a before spirit this is stating the very nature of gods being if god is spirit then worship of him must be of our spirit en lightened by the truth as the truth is injesus t 4211 chap 1030 1 ard my fa ther are one put this along side 149b and you have a great climax to the lesson on god not apart from jesus chris can we really know god the heart of the lesson i creation providence and conscience a testify of god they are in the sphere of what theologians call genera reve lation but these are not a sufficient revelation of god to meet the need of men whose minds have been darkened by sin and who are under con demnation of eternal death unless god speaks by some other mean- in a special reve lation we shall be left without hope but god has spoken in time past unto the fathers by the prophets and now at last unto us by his son heb 1 1 2 the record of this speak ing this revelation is the con tent of our bible and our les son gives glimpses of god that must make the heart of every believer glad and ought to stir unbelievers to haste to the ref uge provided the psalmist depicts for us the lovingkindness of god in the great 103rd psalm here in verses 813 we have new tes tament truth declared afore time namely the putting away of sin save that the ultimate means of it the sacrifice of christ is not mentioned see how gods wrath is quieted vs 8 91 so that the stroke due to our sins does not fall on us v 10 but he rather deals with us in mercy v 11 be cause of the complete removal of our sins v 12 now he re ceives us as his dear children assuming fatherly care over us v 13 what a picture of god our saviour- our portion in isaiah 40 2529 presents a very different picture of god here he is issu ing a challenge to the heathen world to produce a god who might stand beside him for comparison but there is none he alone has the attributes of deity as witnessed by the hea vens he created the starry hosts he orders their courses he knows them all by name the unnumbered billions of them and he preserves them he who can do this can care for his people and out of his own inexhaustible power he supplies strength to the weak and the faint such a god who fills all things calls for worship that is more than so much formality he cannot be confined to sac red places nor will formal gen uflections and prostrations and processions and chantings and oblations suffice for worship he is not a man flattered by these external things he is eternal spirit and his worship must consist of the outflowing of the spirit to him in true adoration and submission the wonderful thing is that this great god glorious in pow er and might and worthy of all praise and adoration seeks to be worshiped as father he has made a way whereby he may receive sinners into the adoption of sons having the right to call him father indeed no one can truly wor ship god who has not been brought into the filial relation until we come to christ we are enemies and cannot wor ship him when we come to christ we are made sons and then we can worship in spirit and in truth here then is where we must learn the rare combination of intimacy and reverence of communion and worship how can 1 come to know god that i may so worship him only in christ jesus he who is one with the father has revealed the father and has brought us to the father our search for god ends at the feet of jesus neil c smith lds dds graduate of university of toronto ose oer
