comments road in dangerous condition the markhamwhhchurch towriline between the 7th and 6th concessions is in a most dangerous con dition both a truck and a car upset on this bad stretch last week and there will be more and possibly a fatality unless repairs are made and soon a short time ago the road was widened and much fill was brought in and believed prepared for a hardtop since that time nothing has been done and the heavy traffic which travels the townline both daily and on weekends has gouged caverns out of the rough surface which could easily result in broken springs high banks of treacherous loose sand are along ihe side and any vehicle getting but a foot from the travelled surface is likely to topple over the road committee of york county is meeting this week and it is hoped that repairs or the re quired hardtop to this dangerous half mile will be a must on their program iz tt could be a reason a prominent high school principal in one of ontarios large collegiates recently made the state ment that much of the overcrowding in our high schools is due to elimination of high school entrance examinations and the lack of job opportunities many children are in high school these days who would have been out earning a living or learning a trade in days gone by this situation is not peculiar to local communities but is a problem that is being grappled with across the nation with fewer jobs available this year many students are staying on at school taking up valuable teachers time space money and at the same time pulling down the standards of the good student who wants to finish high school and perhaps go on to college it is certainly desirable to make education available to all but we must always realize that everyone is not capable of taking a com plete education it should be the responsibility of the parents to realize the limitations of certain children rfnd it is also the responsibility of the community to try to provide jobs for these people to make a worth while contribution to our town k wr k b what happened to the monday holiday movement a couple of years ago there was a strong move ment afoot in this country to have all holidays reli gious holidays excepted observed on a monday so as to make long weekends come at more frequent intervals and cause a minimum of disruption in the workaday week as a result of the movement canadians did enjoy one extra monday holiday in 1953 victoria day but that is as far as it went this year the whole project seems to have collapsed and the monday holiday idea appears to be a thing of the past the apparent withdrawal of interest in the idea is something of a mystery and as in most movements which advance so far and then drop out its advocates do not seem called upon to explain could it be that the more universal adoption of the 5day week has made the idea of a long weekend less attractive or is it that the exponents of the monday holiday scheme have concluded that a day off in the middle of the week is not so bad after all k k police service lacking taxpayers were highly indignant last week and justly so for the lack of police supervision at the school where more than two hundred and fifty kiddies had to cross the busy highway during bible school days stouffviile is paying big money for police pro tection and certainly the municipality is not that busy that wheii the need is urgent service cant be given it would appear that council is not taking enough note of their service to see that police are on hand in these vital situations the school has always had great difficulty in obtaining service and this is one place where taxpayers are definitely paying for it there was no excuse for the situation which ex isted last week during the bible school and we add our

difficult that the study of it is exhausilfesj and the matures saints cry ilord teach us to pray prayer i- the easiest of the christian ordinances using that term in its wider signifi cance we can pray almost without effort on the impulse of the moment yet prayer is trie most demanding the most exhausting the most crucify ing exercise that can occupy the christian there are vast reaches in praper it is like the mighty himalayas most of us never get beyond the lower slopes of the foothills some climb the lesser peaks has anyone beside the lord himself ever sealed the summit of the ml everest of prayer mourns imop praying is a transfiguring experience mos es forty days of prayer gave him such a radiance of counte nance that the israelites could not look upon him till he put a covering over his face see exodus 34835 it is iuke who lolls us that our lords pur pose in going up into the mount was to pray luke 928 29 and as he prayed he was transfigured in the sight of his wondering disciples the favor ed three 1 am sure they could not be quite the same after just witnessing the transfigur ation of their praying master certainly they never forgot it and if we bore the transfigur ing marks of prayer in our lives we should be making more indelible marks for good on the lives of those cho touch us archbishop trench has giv en us this excellent sonnet on prayer lord what a change within us one short hour spent in thy presence will avail to make what heavy burdens from our bosoms take what parched grounds refresh as with a shower we kneel and all around us seems to lower we rise and all the distant and the near stands forth in sunny outline brave and clear we kneel how weak we rise how full of power why therefore should we do ourselves this wrong or others that we are not always strong that we are sometimes over borne with care that we should ever weak or heartless be anxious or troubled when with us is prayer and joy and strength and cour age are with thee verso by verse luke 111 as he was pray ing one of his disciples said lord teach us to pray our lords own praying revealed the master of the holy art and inspired this request for a lesson in prayer here is an interesting sidelight on john the baptist and the training lie gave his followers verse 2 our father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will he doner as in heaven so in earth this model prayer is for those who have a right to call god father notice that the first requests are not for our own needs but concern the fathers name the fathers kingdom and the fathers will god first verse 3 give us day by day our daily bread the physical need are not overlooked in i do not be opened unto you these would seem to represent three degrees of prayer with appro

see john 16 g 7 phil 4 be careful for nothing everything by prayer with thanksgiving made known unto god for careful read anxious prayer coupled with thanksgiv ing which is an evidence of faith is the great antidote for worry verse 7 and the peace of god shall keep your hearts and minds through christ je sus keep signifies guard gods peace is an effectual guard against mental and emo tional disturbances the heart of the lesson no greater indication of the depth and richness of our lords prayer life can be found than the fact that it drew forth the request of the dis ciples lord teach us to pray i wonder how many of us who have preached on prayer did so because our own prayer life challenged our people to ask for instruction in the holy art our lord was a master tea cher and nowhere does his technique show to better ad vantage than here he began the lesson in prayer bypresent ing a model which has come to be generally known as the lords prayer luke gives a somewhat abridged form of it but the essentials are present notice the intimacy of the prayer addressed to god as father the reverence of it hallowed be thy name the expansiveness of it the king dom of god its dealing with universal needs bread and forgiveness here we have prayer at ils simplest and its completest i rather think that every conceivable request would be found to be but a particular aspect of one of the items of the lords prayer after the model comes the illustration in story form the story like the model is utterly simple drawn from life as any oriental knew it the late ar rival of an unexpected

illustration comes the application an exhortation accompanied by assurances ask seek knock and in proportion to your intensity you will obtain to enforce the application our lord adds an argument human fathers will not give hurtful substitutes for the nee ded provision which their chil dren ask no more will the heavenly father what he gives may indeed seem like a stone instead of a loaf or ilke a serpent instead of a fish or like a scorpion instead of an egg but receive what god sends and it will be found to be good and acceptable and perfect despite first appear ances good things he
