a half times greater than canadas discrimination against towns and villages the dept of highways reimburses all townships in ontario to the extent of 50 per cent on expenditures made on- roads whether for new construction bridges gravel or oil but towns and villages receive no help this may seem a strange situation but it remains a fact no one has any quarrel with the dept for the aid they give the townships but we have a complaint to offer in the case of stouffville and all other villages and towns because it is the belief of many that they too are entitled to some help with their road construction 1 stouffville council did the right thing when they en dorseda petition sent from goderich praying the dept to give towns and villages some consideration in the way of a subsidy on road work done andthus remove what appears a discrimination against towns and villages- ethics raffles give concern the june issue of kin the official magazine of the association of kinsmen clubs takes a courageous stand editorially with respect to the raising of money by raffles x editorial says in part of these events where is it going to end it will end by either one of two methods firstby a demand from religious groups and others who strongly resent their existence for legisla tion against them or it will end voluntarily on the part of those who conduct them should we as an association of some facts to face on social security and taxes clear thinking and a realistic appraisal of the tax- paying capacity of the canadian people is needed in the government at this time when proposals are being made for the establishment of such expensive social services as national health insurance and contributory old age pensions- we concur with the view of the toronto evening telegram when it says that benefits these public- services would pro vide cannot be disputed but it would be foolish to ignore their cost to the mass of the people it is necessary to re mind ourselves that in these matters it is not possible to have our cake and eat it too if there are to be more social services the reduction in taxes which the public is expect ing will not be possible the answer to this by people who have no clear com prehension of economics or the major sources of national revenue may be that the benefits from health insurance and old age pensions will balance their cost and that in any event the rich should pay such an argument if it be made would fail to take account of facts it was only a few days ago that income tax collection figures were quoted in these columns which showed that 43per cent of the total income of individuals earning more than 5000 a year isaken by the tax collector but the whole amount collected from this class of people does not make up 50 per cent of what the finance minister feels he must get from personal earnings in other words during the war mr ilsley has had to rely on earnings below 5000 a year and niost of it from earnings below 3000 a year for the major part of his income tax revenue the fact of the matter is that government expendi tures have become so great that soaking the rich is no longer sufficient the small wage earner is compelled to pay a very substantial share too so we say that in any discus sion of more social security it should be remembered the masses of the people breadwinners earning 1500 2000 or 2500 a year will be called upon to pay the major shareof the cost of these new measures estimated cost of national health insurance has been placed at 250000000 annually the proposal is that part of it be raised by a dollar a month levy on every adult in the countryand the remainder by a tax on income irrespective of the methods used to raise the fund the people generally would pay the bulk of it the cost of a contributory old age pension scheme has never been estimated but it would prob ably require an amount equivalent to the national health insurance and family allowances a quarter of a billion dollars annually these three funds baby bonus national health in surance and contributory old age pensions would take threequarters of a million dollars from the people of canada msiimssibsm- box office opens daily

the ijcssoii as a whole when god chose abraham he was known as abram and was a member- of an idolatrous family living in the city of the moon god dess ur of the chaldees josh 24 215to this youth the eternal one revealed himself as the only true andliving god and called abram out from his kindred and his country that he might become not only the father of a great nation gen 177 8 through whom this truth might be declared throughout the whole world but that he might be the progenitor of the promised saviour in whom all the earth should be- blessed gen 2218 actingupon the promise andtaking god at his word abram was de- clared righteous gen 156 and he became the pattern man of faith the father of all who believe whether lineally descended from him or not not only israel but many nations sprang from this man gen 17 4 5 whose understanding of god marked him out as unique in his and through all the centuries since as the outstanding witness to j the truth revealed to him we need to remember that it was i as haran after bis death abram while he was still a gentile after the flesh that enlightenment came to him it was not until he had re ceived and believed the promise that he and his household were circumcised gen 17 1014 and so separated unto god this was the sign of the dovenant already made to him and it marks the beginning of the hebrew pepple paul em phasizes this in- discussing the great truth of the imputation of righteousness to all who believe rom 4912 the grace extended to abram as a gentile and con firmed to him later as a separated man is the same grace that flows out to all men through him is the promised seed the son of abraham matt 1 ik dispensations have changed but gods promise of grace abides through all- ages verse by verse gen 121 the lord had said unto abram note that the call did not come to him for the first time after the death of terah hisfather as recorded in chapter 1132 step hen tells us in acts 7 2 that the god of glory appeared unto our father abraham when he was in mesopotamia- before he dwelt in charran or haran at that time god called upon him to leave both country and kindred but evidently terah the father took the lead in the emigration from chaldea and with all the household went as far the old hometown w t fr etn by stanley s i i4 moved on to canaan verse 2 i will make of thee a great nation and make thy name great when moses penned this record there seemed little like lihood that israel would ever be come a great nation but in due time gods word was fulfilled in the millennia since abraham has through his seed become a blessing to the whole world verse 3 i will bless them that bless thee and curse himthat curseth thee it is impossible to have a sound philosophy of history without taking these words into account the prosperity oradvers ity of most of the outstanding nations that have appeared upon the stage of history for the last three thousand years has depended very largely upon their attitude to ward the jews the natural seed of abraham when god said in thee shall all families of the earth b blessed he meant the covenant to be understood literally it was his children who gave us under god the bible and of israel christ was born the worlds debt to the child ren of abraham is beyond all pos sibility of reckoning no other man has so affected the nations through his descendants as this one who is called- the friend of god 2 chrorf 207isa 418 jas 223 j verse 4 so abram departed and lot went with him freed at last from human ties abram obeyed god and left haran to go on to the land of which the lord had spoken in the beginning lot his nephew went with him lot is called a righteous man 2 pet 27 8 but he was easily led for he was a man of weak will when he was with his uncle all went well when he separated from him he soon got into grave difficulty see chaps 13 and 19 verse 5 they went forth to go into the land of canaan and into the land of canaan they came when at last abram left haran his retainers although the canaa- nite was then in the land these people were the bitter foesof israel in later years- but they seem to have permitted abram to settle peaceably among them verse 7 the lord said unto thy seed will i give this land this was part of gods covenant with abraham renewed later on gen 178 god has never changed his word as to this palestine be longs bydivine gift to the jews the children of abraham and some day their title will be acknowledged by all isa 614 in recognition of gods goodness abram built an altar unto the lord who appeared unto him the altar speaks of wor ship wherever the patriarch dwelt he raised an altar for sacrifice to jehovah yerse 8 he removed and pitched his tent having bethel on the west and hai on the eastthe tent speaks of pilgrimage abraham never builba house in canaan but dwelt in tents as a stranger and a pilgrim because he looked for a city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is god heb 1110 verse 9 abram journeyed go ing on still toward the south froin place to place he went walking through the land knowing it should some day belong to his descendants but content to remain in it as a sojourner because gods lime ho take possession of it had not yet come the heart of the lesson god ever finds delight in the manifestation of implicit faith on the part of his children it was this that was so precious inthe charac ter of abraham although it took him some little time to venture out fully on the word of god and there were occasional lapses afterward when he acted according to nature rather thanin obedience to god yet the trend of his life was that of confidence in god and obedience to his word even when that word seemed to be contrary to all human sb wf a universal picture und a- darnell jack
