In Ongario, Sunday work, due to the shifrtage of electric power, is be- coping more prevalent. Presbyter- iegsconcerned ought to deal with thi§ new problem wisely and con- suYciively Conveners were also urged by the Department to write to the Minis- ted pf Finance, Hon. Douglas Abbott, K.@, Ottawa, requesting him to in- cregse the taration on beer, wine and spifits. The message from the d reads: "The actual cost of these alcoholic beverages, especial- ly beer, is surprisingly low and the mayggin of profit in all cases is ex- ingly high. We are not sug- geting that the price of these al- cdholic 'beverages be increased to public: Nor is this necessary; byt we believe that some of the wide rgin of profit between cost and retail selling price should find way into the Treasury of the deral Government." ' he Board of Evangelism and So- 1 Service warns conveners in On- io "to be on guard now against extension of the cocktail bar + Do not wait until the liquor de makes its attack, rather or- nize at once and be prepared to ht on the temperance front. ase note that since the cocktail rs were introduced in Ontario, nkenness convictions have in- ased by 10 per cent. Moreover, sale of beer has mounted, such es being at least 18 per cent higher in 1948 than 1947. Much bot- tlgd-beer is sold in cocktail bars. In itish Columbia, liquor interests are determined to establish cocktail bars. A similar move will be made im the near future in some of the other provinces." ntario Preshyteries were urged call upon the provincial govern- nt to shorten the hours of sale all liquor outlets and particular- in cocktail bars and beverage ms. lans were made to observe The k of Prayer in Canada. e Board also is considering plans to mark the 25th Anniversary off the formation of The United Church of Canada which is to be calebrated in 1950, FIRST IN US. e first local society of the Red Cfoss in the United States .was ofganized at a Lutheran church in ville, N.Y, in 1881. . ndon -- (CP) -- Dickie Bird Alan Sparrow, two R.A.F. men, fl§w to Cairo recently in the same okingham, Berkshire, England CP)--A gun in every room is grey squirrels and und his 'home. rabbits NORTH OSHAWA UNITED CHURCH !

BARCLAY WARREN The story of Joseph being sold by his brothers aroused mingled feel- ings as we heard it in childhood. Yes, it was cruel of the brothers, but could they be blamed for dis- liking the one who was so favored by their father? It was partly the father's fault. This, the eldest child of his beloved Rachel, born in later years, was the apple of his eye. Jos- eph's dreams, which seemed to in- dicate a pre-eminence over the brothers, increased their resent- ment. We read, "Joseph brought unto his father their evil report." Gen. 37:2. It wasn't Joseph's fault if Jacob loved him more than all his brethren... Nor could he help it if the seeds of aspiring greatness were evidenced in Divinely given dreams. Of course, he might have kept si- lent about them, but that would be exceptional for a child. But his reporting to his father the evil acts of the older boys was an act of his own will. Certainly it earned him more hatred. Was he a tattler If he told simply to get others into trouble, then it was shameful. But if he told in order to save them from getting into more serious dif- ficulty, then he had a passion for right that is to be commended. It is the task of police to uncover wrong. Newspapers frequently ctu- sade against evils, local and nation- al. The editor would endeavor to correct the evil by bringing it to the attention of the court of public op- inion. The Church's task is to un- cover sin and announce the remedy. We should all remember that "he that covereth his sin shall not pros- per, but whoso confesseth and for- saketh it shall have mercy". Joseph's passion for right develop- ed. 'It is seen in his deportment in, Egypt, when tempted by a wicked woman, in the prison, and in his conduct with his brethren when they came to buy grain. No, Joseph was not an idle tale-bearer. He had a passion for right and was as tact- ful as might be expected of a child. . id High Tide (Continued from Page 11) and produce a worth-while pro- gramme.

Each student is a host and guest all rolled into one--quite a convenient set-up, isn't it? The reports were made out on Wednesday of this week. From all reports, the inventors of "ink-re- mover" deserve a medal. This anonymous sir, saved many students from writer's cramp on Wednesday as he made it possible for them to erase their errors rather than write out an entirely new report. There was a Phraty Investiture Dance held in the upper corridor of the institute last night. This dance was for students who are at- tending the O.C.V.I. for the first time and who have joined one of the five phratries. Unfortunately, the event took place too la\e for us to get full particulars into this week's column, We trust that ev- erybody had a good time. Here's a late report from the sports department. There will be no "B" teams in either of the Jun- could and probably would mean that the phratry teams will be a lot stronger this year. The Junior and Senior squads are holding weekly practices on Wednesday and Tuesday nights, respectively.

Sons and daughters of every coun- try are scattered all over the world. Mothers and fathers write let- ters of affection and advice to their children. Sons and daughters situated in foreign lands send ac- couts of their experiences home to "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are love- ly, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
