with it theyre too small or if theyre too big- theyre beyond the reach of an ordinary mortals pockethook oldtime threestorey houses may have been a headache to the busy housewife they may have cost a princely sum to heat and a kings ransom to paint but at least you could hie away to the attic to get away from it all in the modern house theres no place to hie and no place to hide nowadays living rooms are full of television sets bedrooms are scarcely big enough for a bed and a chest of drawers kitchens are designed so the housewife can lean over from the stove to the sink to the kitchen table modern bathrooms are hardly big enough to read in and dining rooms went out with the advent of the new era of prosperity theres a lot of talk these days about gracious living what wed like to see for a change is a little spacious living wingham advance be careful when using power mower watch out for small stones pieces of glass and bits of metal on the lawn when you are mowing it with a power mower there is some risk in the handling of this laborsaving device rotary blades turning at high speed hurl objects with terrific force recently a little fort william girl was badly cut on the head by a flying piece of rock from a power lawn mower a tiverton ri woman standing on a street corner near where a man was using a rotary mower suffered a serious leg injury when the blade hit a loose stone manufacturers of these devices are taking note of some of the hazards and some of them have made changes minimizing the risk of injury for example tsfcire closing some of the side or front ports in tht casing the reason is apparent users who have hit even small stones report that the whirling blade propelled these stones through these ports with tremendous velocity in one instance the blade pulverized a stone a piece of it struck a nearby garage and made a dent an inch deep in the garages outer surface obviously this kind of thing may happen only rarely and it is no reason to abandon use of the rotary mower but it does suggest that you watch what you are doing when using the mower if the machine is being used on rough ground raise the blade so you are not so apt to hit obstructions good advice to save the blade incidentally if there are loose stones on the lawn rake them up before mowing too busy for responsibility of recent weeks an effort has been made by several local girls to organize a tennis club in stouff ville once quite a flourishing pastime in the town park the gals have not had much success in their venture and find everyone too busy to help to take any respon sibility or even time to recreate this summer stouffville missed both their horse show and the lions club summer carnival there is an obvious lack of interest in the organizing of recrea tional events as well as entertaining projects few- there are who if approached seem to have time for anything life has become such a dizzy whirl that we just dont seem to have time to help with or take part in those things which a few years back were looked forward to as big events of the year its regrettable that such is the case stouffville like some of the neighboring communities is being drawn ever closer into the toronto orbit an orbit which smothers all community identity the events which are mentioned above as well as the clubs and organiza tions of the town are part of the community life which help to maintain that communitys name to advertise it keep its nicenoss that sets it apart from the big city little by little as these things slip into disregard as we become ever too busy to keep them going we find ourselves swallowed up by this great urban area ever growing around us those of us who have spent a lifetime in the community should not shirk any effort which will stem this trend and help to keep stouffville well advertised as a real community centre and a fine place in which to live whats the law if a release is signed by the injured person shortly after an accident does that prevent him from suing later for further damage from the accident not in every case but the gen eral rule is that once a settle ment has been reached after ne gotiations such a settlement is final not long ago in toronto a woman hurt her knee when try ing to alight from a bus the bus company was negligent and therefore liable for what injury she suffered a little more than a week after the accident she discussed her inqury with an adjuster for the bus company she did not consider the injury to be serious enough to see her doctor about after discuss ing it with the adjuster she will- ingly signed the usual release of all her claims arising out of the accident in return for sio her husband wasnt pres ent at this discussion and did not sign the release not long after this she took a daughter to the doctor and white waiting in b office noned that her knee was bouv for parents only neighbours by xancjr cleatei the sunday school lesson there doesnt seem time any again in the spotlight more to do the little things that we are filled with admiration make a good neighbour a for the spirit of mutual help- mother of several children said fulness which is the core ot teal 1 wistf ullv she was calling to neighbourliness the other night i sav goodbve to our family we we watched a gang of men and uvere moving over a thousand older boys filling sand bags 1 miles away to

later i dont know how i ever would have managed if 1 hadnt had such marvellous near than a brother cring her it turned out that as a result of the accident she had suffered a sharp nervous break down for which she had to go to hospital she and her husband sued the bus company for this injury that appeared later and for the medical and hospital accounts ithe court held that she could not recover because she had i signed the release the fact that she had not been aware at the time of the extent of her injury made no difference how ever since the husband had not signed the release he could re cover the sums he had paid for hospital and medical bills but if it is clear that the in- juicd person intended to give a nlcase for only part of his claim then his signature on even a general release will not bar him from recovering further damages so where a hamilton man en- j dorsed a cheque which was also a form of release to pay the garage bill for damage to his j car he later recovered about 7000 for his personal injuries the court held that by signing the release form on the back of the cheque all he intended was to accept that sum in payment of t damage to his car nothing rrore a few months ago a man died who stands out as one of the most interesting men i have known he came to canada from neighbours better is a neigh england through one of the agencies which places boys on farms hour that i early in the nineres oi the last century he was taken to a newly developed part of northern ontario the people with whom he lived were themselves poor they went where land was cheap and the work of clearing bush difficult he remained there the greater part of his life many miles behind the railway working hard although always in delicate health his chikf characteristic was his complete devotion to the teaching of jesus christ his humility and selfeffacement was such as i have seldom ever known although not well educated he was intelligent and deeply religious i have known many prominent churchmen in whom there was little humility men vocal in the councils of churches but whose gifts and responsibil ities had made them selfwilled occasionally domineering i am not writing this critically 1 know leaders have to be clear and emphatic and the church needs men who have strong opinions and convictions but no one would say humility was a characteristic of our age this backwoods farmer was different there was in him a deep strain of something which made others think of jesus after our removal to toronto my wife and i decided to ask him to visit us during the national exhibition he had never seen even a town and we felt sure he would be thrilled at the crowds and the exhibits it would be a highlight in his experience he came and in his first visit to the fair he lost two hundred dollars which he had in his hippocket characteristically he blamed it on his own carelessness he refused to think he had been robbed it has just fallen out two hundred dollars in those days and to a man trying to eke out a living on a stoney backwoods farm was a lot of money my wife and i were quite distressed but his own attitude to the incident was something i have remembered over the years he said if the man or woman who found that money needs it more than i do its all right with me there was no bitterness or resentment not even a trace of selfpity just a hope that some unfortunate person had been benefitted what kind of a worio would it be if it were made up of men like that i do not dare to hazard an opinion in any case it would be only a guess a great newspaper man wrote a book a few years ago in which lie spoke scornfully of those who allowed others to push them aside in lifes keen competition stand up for your rights he urged and dont let others get in your way he wouldnt have thought much of my friend from the north he would have called him a fool the two men were poles asunder when saint paul was writing to the corinthian christians nineteen centuries ago ne set forth the christian ideal he wrote love seeketh not ficr own if he had said that love does not seek that which belongs to others we could understand him better but he insisted that love does not say ill have my own nobody will put anything over me ill have my rights perhaps mv northern- friend wasnt such a fool after all i j this gateway to tlutwest anyway he

that is set before us heb 131 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson the prophet habakkuk long before the new testament was written enunciated the great new testament principle the just shall live by his faith we might be tempted to say that he lived before his time except for this that this new testament principle wich has determined mans relationship with god from the beginning the intro duction of the law did not alter this principle neither did the ancient ordinances but back of both law and ordinances there is this unchanging fact of faith but this motto took on new meaning with the inauguration of the new testament so that the apostle paul set it up as a banner it is central to his teach ing in the great epistle to the romans it is his battle cry in his letter to the galatians and if he is indeed the writer of the epistle to the hebrews he makes it his trumpet call here also heb i03s the epistle to the hebrews was written for the very purpose of renewing the flagging faith of the hebrew christians doctrine and precept mingle in this mighty document culminating in the reiteration of this great truth now the just shall live by faith but if any man draw back my soul shall have no pleasure in him what would be more normal than to fol low this witli a reminder that their fathers were men of stead fast faith this he does in the eleventh chapter which certain ly contains the honor roll of faith and leads to that rousing exhortation in the twelfth chap ter where faith has its vision fixed upon jesus our lesson takes up the latter portion of the great faith chap ter with its rapid summing up of the achievements of faith j verse by verse heb 1132 and what shall i more say of gideon barak samson jeph- thae david samuel the prophets after expatiating more fully on the accomplish ments of faith among the an cients the sacred writer lists some of the notable characters in their national history they are not in chronological order five of the six are from the tur bulent days of the judges only one of their kings is mentioned though others were men of faith verse 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms stopped the mouths of lions now be gins a list of the accomplish ments of faith the subduing of kingdoms refers to the con quest of canaan and the sur rounding territories samson and daniel will come to mind in connection with the lions verse 34 quenched the vio lence of fire the fire re minds us of the three hebrew youths in babylon david es caped from the sword of 5aul samson was made tung even after being redued to utter weakness the other phries

promise of redemption verse 10 better thing for us that they without us should not be made perfect the bet ter thing is the accomplished work of christ toward which all the promises pointed the conclusion to which we come is that the old testamen saints and the new testament saints are perfected together in christ chap 121 so great a cloud of witnesses lay aside every weight run with patience the race that is set be fore us the witnesses are the saints of the past who testify to the faithfulness of god and so encourage us who are now in the race every weight carries its own potential of sin getting rid of weights is a good way to avoid sin verse 2 looking unto je sus the author and finisher of our faith jesus is the ulti mate example of a winner in the lace of faith but
