eightto twelve pages weekly circulation 1850 copies subscription kates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a y nolan son publishers notes and comments bright hopes for future business f this is the final issue of the tribune this year so that next week we look forward to entering upon the biggest year in the fiftyfour yet lived by your home town paper we commence 1943 with the largest circulation the paper ever claimed not even when it sold for 1 per year and later at 150 per year could a circulation have been shown such as we have at present we are now turning out almost nineteen hundred copies each week and we never have a dozen papers left over our yearly subscribers consume all but about 150 of these copies and at the two dollar per year rate as compared with other years in the long ago when the paper com manded a smaller subscription rate few weekly papers in towns the sizeof stouffville supply its readers with anything like the photographic news given by the tribune we spend several hundred dollars a year in pictures which you enjoy local and other wise in scope and they are usually printed on a standard that would compare favorably with the average daily with a circulation that bids fair to reach two thousand copies a week which means a reader interest of five or six thousand people the publishers and staff have a right to enter the new year with hope and pride may the hope and pride of all our friends and readers be as ambitious and as well founded as our own tely calls it piffle premier conant has spoken of the appointment of the first woman coroner in ontario as though it were a step up on the ladder by which womanhood has climbed from her former dependent and subservient state with the grow- ing importance of women in our social economic and in dustrial structure he has said it is fitting that there should be a lady cottar that we submit is piffle he might better have said that it is fitting we should have a lady premier why not how milk and eggs are shipped a recent news item in the london times weekly states that prior to the war great britain brought in with her food imports no less than 3000000 tons of water a year now a number of imported food commodities says the times come in dried form thus saving an immense amount in shipping sprtce for example a quart of milk when fresh weighs some 41 ounces and has a volume of 69 cubic inches as a powder it weighs 53 ounces with a volume of only 156 cubic inches if the power is compressed into a block the volume is further reduced to 77 cubic inches this discovery says the item makes it possible for richspring and early summer milk to be preserved for winter use it is estimated that during 1943 great britain will im port 100000 tons of dried egg the equivalent importation as egg in shell would be more than five or six times as much in bulk already says the times samples of dried meat have reached great britain from new zealand australia argentina and the united states this is literally meat minus moisture not only are dried meat and egg economical of shipping space but they do not require refrigeration for transport or storing when the moisture is restored the same nutritive value and palatability as before is present looking to the future one of the k dreams which modern research is bringing steadily closer to realization is the capturing of energy directly from the suns rays the tapping of even a small part of the tremendous qualities of solar energy which flood the earth every day and its harnessing to mans industrial and domestic needs would effect a complete transformation in the life of every nation no country would be more profoundly affected than can ada with its highly developed industrial activities and with its huge resources of both developed and undevelop- ed- water power the dominion has a vital interest in such new sources of energy our rivers arid waterfalls rank second only to those of the united states in the amount of energy which they generate and our ultilizationof hydro electric energy on a per capita basis is the third highest in the world our tremendous national investment in dams and power stations and transmission lines might be render ed valueless scientists have already built on an experimental basis solar engines which effectively utilize the f power in the rays of- the sunj though so far they have been unable to solve the practical problem of making this power available at the low co which would make it a servant of daily life when andjfthatday comes it will be a revolutionary change in our present method of releasing stored up solar energy through the burning of coal and oil these fuels are formed as a result of a- natural process which through millionsof years transforms the sunlight originally stored up through the action of chlorophyll the green stuff in leaves and vegetation science is attacking the mysteries of chlorophyll in the hope that some day man may be able to duplicate natures action and thus produce fuel syn- thetically from chemicals sia h he can take it i sitti6s4 3uiday school less on lesson for january 3 the glory op the sox ok god the lesson as a whole the gospel o john was written to unfold the glories of the only be gotten son of the father in incar nation it was written in the latter part of the first christian century long after the synoptic cospels had been produced in these we see our lord portrayed respectively as the king of israel by matthew the per fect servant and prophet of jehovah by mark and the perfect sinless man the seeking saviour by luke to complete the picture it was giv en to john the disciple whom jesus loved to set him forth as the son of god in manhood that all might believe and find life eternal in him we arc told definitely that tis gospel was written for this very purpose that ye might believe that jesus is the christ the son of god and that believing ye might have life through his name 20 31 christianity is centered in a person and that person is the son of god we see him set forth in this gospel as the eternal word the lamb of god who taketi away the sin of the world the source of all life and blessing for time and eternity in the first twelve chap ters the appeal is particularly to the unsaved to them the lord jesus is presented in every possible aspect as the one suited to meet men iust where they are and to save them by his grace in the other nine chap ters the appeal is to those who have already trusted iiimand to them he is presented in every aspect suited to the circumstances jn which they pass through this scene on to their destined home in the fathers house verso by verse john 11 in the beginning was the word the word is the ex pression of the thought the revela tion of the mind of god christ is that word in him god has re vealed himself when everything that ever had ijeginning began ho the word was he had no be ning he was one with the father and tlie holy spirit i sill eternity this clause sets forth his eternal existence the word was with god this declares the distinct per sonality of the word the word was god it is his full deity that is insisted on he was in no sense inferior to the other perons of the godhead ve 2 the sumo was in the beginning witfi god there was no change in his relationship he re mains thesame forever verse 3 all things were made by him full creatorial glory is here attributed to him wore all things created col 110 he was the direct agent of the godhead in the creation of the universe verse 4 in hint was life ho is the source of all communicated life because he with the father has underived life in- himself 5 26 this life seen in all its perfection in kim while he was here on earth is in itself the light of men in christ men are given a rovolatlori of all they need to know in order to illumine their hears and minds and guide them through this dark world verse 5 the darkness compre hended it not so blinded have men become by the love of sinning that their minds are in an impenetrable fog which even the light thatshlnes from the face of christ cannot pierce so long as they persistently refuse to heed the words of god verse 6 a nian sent from god whose name was john the minis try of john the baptist was prepar atory ho was sent to call men to repentance in order that they might face the light and learn to know him who came as a light into the world 1246 verse 7 to bear witness of the light what a commentary on mans utterly lost condition and his sinblinded heart that anyone should be required to bear witness of light verse 8 he was not that light there is an immeasurable distance between the greatest of christs servants and he who is both saviour and lord verse 9 the true light which iighteth every man that is the perfect life of jesus casts light on all other menshowing up their sins and failures in contrast to his holi ness and perfection it is not that as some have supposed there is a spark of the divine in every man a gleam which if obeyed will result in final salvation men are lost in the darkness the light shines upon them exposes their sins illumines the darkness about them and re veals the saviour god has provided verse 10 the world knew him not when he who had brought all things into existence came into his own world he was unrecog nized and walked through this scene as a heavenly stranger verse 11 he came unto his own and his own reecived him not the first his own is in the neuter he came unto his own things that is his own world his own land his own temple the second is per sonal his own people israel re ceived him not they who were sup posed to be waiting for him did not know him when he came and they refused to own his authority verse 12 as many as received him a few there were who opened their hearts to receive him to these he gave the right or title to be called children of god it is not ex actly sons but children those born into the family all who believe on his name are born from above and so made members of the house hold of faith verse 13 born not of blood salvation or eternal life is not in herited because one is born into a family of believers he is not him self a possessor of divine lire nor of the will of the flesh no one becomes a child of god by self- effort reformation or turning over a new leaf as men say is not the same as being born again nor of the will of man no religious dignitary or ecclesiastical author ity can produce the new life by any sacramental observances but of god new birth is of god alone it is he who gives eternal life to all who believe in his son verse 14 the word became flesh rv the revised version is clearer here than the authorized version strictly speaking the eternal word was not made any thing he voluntarily became became flesh that is he stooped in grace to take our humanity into union with his deity that he might reconcile us to god and become the mediator between god and man he dwelt among us it is literally tabernacled among us of old the tabernacle was the sanctuary in which the glory of god was hidden so the humanity of jesus was the temple in which deity was en shrined as to his personal glory he was the only begotten of tho father unbelieving men did not see this glory those who knew him did in him they saw the fullness of grace and truth all that god is

mission city bc dec 20th 1942 a v nolan son publishers of the tribune stouffville ontario to my many dear friends of stouffville just a few lines to let you all know that 1 arrived in mission city b c yesterday saturday morning at 1045 am i had a very enjoyable trip and my health was good all the way left toronto at 1130 pm on tuesday saw very little snow until we reached the eastern slope of the rocky range the most noticeable feature across the prairie provinces was the sub zero weather in many places the grain was still standing in the stooks owing to the labour situa tion and unfavourable weather con ditions our train was delayed about three hours before wo left moose jaw leaving calgary we entered the foothill mountains and from there on the scenery was interesting and beautiful one thing that impressed me the most- was the seemingly natural rightofway between the two huge mountain ranges this appeared to be an unusual forma tion of the whole rocky range at the height of the range it was snowing and very cold cora and charlie boothby were at the station in mission city to meet me when i arrived yesterday morning they have a very comfort able home with all modern con veniences situated on a southern slope about three blocks from the main business section of the town mission is a nice town of about twentytwo hundred population built along the north shore of the fraser river about forty miles from vancouver so far the weather has been cloudy but very mild and they tell me that in clear weather mount baker which is a permanently snowcapped mountain about sixty miles from here in the state of washington can be clearly seen mission city is just ten miles north of the international border at sum- as washington last evening i went for a couple of drives out into the country with charlie on taxi trips this morning cora charlie and ethel their oldest daughter and i attended the christmas service in st andrews united church a welltrained junior choir of about twentylive voices sang three selec tions of seasonal music these children ranged in age from eight years to about sixteen all uniformly dressed in white gowns another interesting feature of this mornings service was the white gift dona tions which will be sent to the united church girls home in van couver i am looking forward to attending tonights service will add a bit more on this after this evenings service later the services were conduct ed by the regular minister of this congregation rev fielding shaw the music was led by the senior choir which also rendered the hallelujah chorus in a very credit- ablemanner a male quartette of which charlie boothby is the first tenor sang an arrangement of silent night i am sure i am going to enjoy my stay here and will say good- night by
