of the province declares howevr if there should be a big european offensive launched the election will be postponed as hon mr nixon rightfully wanted every soldier to be able to vote the idea is all right but who is going to tell mr nixon about the offensive lets remove this stigma before another ontario election rolls around we hope the liberal party will remove the great injustice and belittling attitude they took when the tarvia road was built from uxbridge town to goodwood where it ended leaving five miles of dirt road between goodwood and stouffville various reasons were put forth as excuses for not fin ishing the five miles but the main reason was that half of it would pass through riding of north york represent ed by morgan baker mpp and mr hepburn had put a ban on any expenditure being made in north york in this he was backed up by hon mr mcquesten who played the hepburn game loyally this fivemile stretch of road requires heavy machinery being hauled from points thirty miles away because the ontario government has no other dirt road requiring main taining in the fashion this main artery calls for as a result it costs about as much to haul heavy machinery here as it does to do the actual work it is most apparent that the best thing to do would be to finish the short stretch with a tarvia face and eliminate the weekly grading that is now called for with machinery that comes from such a distance action on the part of the government would in the long run save them money and would remove or efface a dirty dea handed the residents of uxbridge township and the village of stouffville and goodwood by the former govern ment still drafting farmers a timely editorial appeared in the financial post last week setting forth the dire plight of the farmer at this time which is steadily growing worse since it has been so keenly aggravated by the lateness of the season looking over the countryside it is right to say that the farmer is really down in the mud scores of them had no seeding done last week and there is a dire shortage of help on almost every farm elderly men are doing their best to keep things going while hun dreds of farmers have depleted their herds and are ranch ing their lands we witnessed a farmer trying to get spray on his fruit trees the other day and the wheels went in to the axle but mie work had to be done otherwise the fruit from- those trees would not be saleable next fall the post alive to the situation surveys the matter most ably thus despite the drastically urgent need for expanded food production from canadian farms there is a continued sap ping of farm manpower through the army draft farmers are still being called from their land in some cases there is no one left to keep the farm going in others the loss of workers must necessarily mean reduced efficiency in army induction centres tfcere are scores of fanners sit ting around waiting for their examinations eves should sunday school lesson lesson for june 6 peter cosiforts persecuted christians golden text for it is better ir the will of god be so that je suffer for well doing thai for eiil doing 1 pet 817 the lesson as a whole it is evident that when peter wrote this first letter persecution of chris tians had begun to asssume a very severe aspect there had been spor adic persecutions at jerusalem acts sl 91 2 somewhat lessened in severity by the conversion of that arch inquisitor saul of tarsus but as the years went by and the gospel of the grace of god won ever great er victories against the powers of darkneis the enmity of the followers of the god of this world became more intense until by the time pe ter wiotein the reign of neroa con certed effort began in most of the provinces of the roman empire to stamp out the new religion by fore ing its adherents to recant or to be treated as persons who were unfit to be tolerated because they were dan gerous adversaries of the accepted religious systems recognized by the state from that time until the death of diocletian about two and a half centuries later the early church passed through one period of intense persecution after another with just occasional lulls but it was ever demonstrated as tertullian declared that the blood of the mar tyrs is the seed of the church ye suffer for well doing than for evil doing this was empfiasized in chapter 2 verses 15 and 19 the natural heart rebels against evil treatment which one feels is on- deserved but it was thus that christ was treated and those who seek to walk as he walked must expect the same chap 12 the fiery trial which is to try you peter looked with pro phetic foresight down through the coming years when all the power of the roman empire was to be util ized in a supreme effort to destroy christianity and to drive the church out of the world this fiery trial was not to be considered strange as though god might be expected to shield his saints from such experi ences rather were they appointed to this 1 thess 33 but he could be depended upon to sustain them in the hour of death if they should be called upon to pay the supreme pen alty for loyalty to his truth verse 13 rejoice inasmuch as ye are partakers of christs suffer ings it is the realization of this that sweetens every bitter cup that the haters of the lord jesus press to the lips of the believer in him to share in ihis rejection is one of the greatest privileges that god has given to man on earth then when his glory shall be revealed the re ward will be such as to make every sorrow endured down here seem as nothing because of the joy in which we shall then participate verse 14 the spirit of glory and of god resteth upon you in stead of suffering being an indica tion that one is under the displeas ure of the lord it is if inflicted for the name of christ but an evidence of the divine approval 2 tim 312 by patient endurance god is glori fied and his truth vindicated verse 15mlet none of you suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as the bray chick does the trick stiver bros stouffville phono 4501 although uncounted thousands werei tortured in the most cruel ways and an evii doer or as a busybody we thousands more weie slain most ma brin tne wratb man down barbarously for every christian p our heads y evil behaviour put out of the way many new con- ths should never be true of the verts sprang forward to take that christian see the company in which ones place it was to comfort those thus ex posed to suffering and death for christs sake that feter wrote this consoling letter in every chapter he refers to suffering in one form or an other and he shows that those who follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth rev 144 need not expect an easy path thiough this world but will be exposed to misunderstanding and to bitter gne and to unmitiga ted persecutionby those who are the enemies of the cross of christ they hated the master and they will hate his followers but god is looking on and he will in due time both recom pense the workers of iniquity with judgment and reward those who have enduied grief suffering wrong fully because of their love for him who has redeemed them verse by verse l pet 3ll3 who is he that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good satans emis sariesmay seek to injure the believ er in christ in every conceivable way but if the christianwalks with god and lives before him in holiness and righteousness even the greatest afflictions will workout for bless ing irom 828 veise 14 if ye suffer for righteousness sake if by follow ing righteousness one brings per secution upon himself from the world of the ungodly this is to be accounted a privilege it means prac tical identification with christ in a world that crucified and still rejects him from this we are not to shrink but are rather to embrace the oppor tunity of bearing shame for his name acts 541 verse 15 sanctify the lord god in your hearts that is give to him the place that is rightfully his to whom allegience is owed as his servants do not shrink from confess ing yourselves as his followers but be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you while not courting persecution need lessly we are to be fearless in ac knowledging our confidence in christ whenever challenged by men of the world and this not with blatant effrontery as though proud ly opposing the present order but with meekness and fear that is in a spirit of humility and reverence verse 16 having a good con science this is all important if one is careful not to trifle with his conscience he will be enabled to meet all false accusations by a life of godliness thus putting to shame his detractors verse 17 it is better that the busybody is found he is linked jwith evildoers of the very worst i type even murderers aud thieves and i lghtly so for the scandal monger will murder another mans i reputation and steal away his good name a loose tongue can work terrible havoc i verse 16 if any man sufferas a christian let him not be ashamed the word christian is found only three times in the new testament it was first applied to believers in antioch of syria acts 11126 its use by the king agrippa acts 26 2s shows that it had by that time become the recognized designation of christs followers this is confirmed here by peter no one should be ashamed of that name if called to suffer because of it he is to glorify god for the privilege of thus honor ing his lord chap 56 humble yourselves that he may exalt you an old negro spiritual says the quickest way up is down you may climb up high and try and try but the quickest way up is down this expresses a great truth the path to true greatness goes through the valley of humiliation verse 7 casting all your care upon him for he careth for you he would have every cause for anxiety turned over to him and in his lovingkindness he will keep the soul in peace phil 46 7 verse 8 your adversary the devil walketh about this is no mere figure of speech or imperson ation of evil as some teach the devil is a real personality a fallen spiritbeing who hates god and so seeks to injure and destroy all that is of god in this world john 844 he constantly dogs the steps of the christian seeking to cause him to fall into sin and so bring reproach upon the worthy name wherewith he has been called verse 9 whom resist steadfast in the faith we are not to fear our cruel malignant foe but to face him in the power of the cross and so overcome him as others have done throughout the years verse 10 after that ye have suffered a while deliverance will come at last the god of all grace is taking note of all that his people are called upon to endure and when his purpose of blessing through trial and affliction has been perfect ed he will intervene for their bless ing and will use their suffering as a means of their establishment and growth in grace watch your c l clip this out and keep available coffee or ton

off his tractor by the rcmp his farm is now left in the hands of his young wife and a 15 months old child while the essentiality of farm work and the shortage of farm labor is recognized in the headlines and through state ments of some prominent public figures the actual truth seems to be that such recognition is being virtually disre garded there is no indication that the draft is giving any consideration to this vital problem there is not a moment to be lost in arriving at a sane policy in this regard every hour that a farmer spends tied up with the draft means that much time lost in preparing his land for production neglect of this paramount consid eration will be spelled ovt in the next few months in term of decreased production less food more rationing less for the war machine
