For many centuries they as a nation, alone of all the peoptes of the world kept alive the worship of the living, spiritual God, as distinguish: ed from the dead, material gods of the rest of the world. Eventually this ~ lmowledge passed to other peoples, and by them is being spread over the whole earth. But we must never forget that primarily we owe this to the Jews. Yet the Jews made the mistake which most people make to whom , there is committed any special privil- ege whether spiritual, social or poli- tical, They thought that they had a monopoly of salvation, and that no person could find favor with God un- less he was a Jew or hecame a Jew Doubtless there were always among them men of larger spiritual insight Who realized that God was no respect- er of persons, but men of every race who lived pure, holy lives were ac- cepted by Him. But the majority of the Jewish religious leaders became self-righteous; scorned all other races called them "Gentile dogs" and "sinners of the Gentiles," Jesus was a Jew. But He recogn- ized the great fact that God did not grant His salvation on the hasis of any man's blood or race or descent, nor refuse it to those who were not of the chosen race. To Him a man's nationality or descent, border or breed or birth, counted for nothing What did count was his character, bis endeavor to 'do right and seek the right, his essential relation to God. He laid little stress on the re- ligion a man professed. He laid great stress on the purity of motive. Jew or Gentile worshipper of the true God or earnest seeker after truth groping his way in the half-lights of heathenism. Jesus met all sincere souls with the promise that they should find God. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Nathanael, was a sincere and de- vout Jew, observing all the laws of his religion, and of him Jesus said: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" The centurion at Cap- ernaum was not a Jew; probably he was not cven a convert to Judaism, Yet to him Jesus said 'I have not found so great faith no, not in Is- rael."" Cornellus, the centurian of Caesarea, was not a Jew but an Ita- lian, So imperfect were his ideas of God that he was ready to fall down and worship Peter as a god. He was not a convert to the religion of the Jews. Yet because he was seeing God with a pure heart, the Spirit of God came to him in as full a measure as to_those of the chosen race. and to this half-heathen were granted special evidences of God's love and favor. The Ethiopian eunuh was not a Jew, but a hlack from Africa, proh- ably one of the people of Abyssinia. Nevertheless to this. man of alien race and another color was sent a special" messenger to bring a fuller knowledge of God's will and way, No distinction was made between men of one race and men of another so long as they were sincerely s:ek- ing the truth. Some of the prophets of Israel had great thoughts on the number of jod's unknown there were scattered through the world, altogether out: side of the race and religion of the Jews. Malachi wrote about them: "For from the rising of the sun cven unto the going down of tle same my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered unto my name, and a pure offering, for my name is great gmong the Gen- tiles, said the Lord of hosts." (Unfortunately this gkeat word of the prophet has been obscured in the Authorized Version of the English Bible, by 'being translated in the fu- ture tense instead of the present tense as it is in the Hebrew original.) What a great thought is this! God's Unknown everywhere. In Greece Socraties was living and tea- ching at the same time as Malachi Specials! Specials!

W. PHONE 1151-J Formerly Old Oshawa House among the Jews; in Rome men who loved their fellow-men were freely giving their lives for their oppressed fellow-countrymen; in India a great religious revival was in progress, and multitudes were seeking God, if hap- ly they might find Him. Everywhere the pure in heart seeking God; seck- ing to do His will! God's unknown scattered througliont the whole wide world! What a rebuke is this to our nar- rowness! What a commentary is this on the small conception of God held by many Christians! They think that Cod limits His love to the few who belong to their little com- munion; that he restricts His salva- tion to the few who hold their little creed; that the Heavenly Father will condemn to everlasting destruction all who do net think with their little minds. That is not the Father's way, Out- side of your communion and outside of my communion, outside of any or- ganized Christian communion God has His children who are seeking Him and serving Him with a pure heart, and who shall see his face. These are God's unknown, for whom we have made no provision within the narrow limits of our narrow éreeds, A WOMAN'S IDEAS ON KEEPING UP HER MUSIC AFTER HER MARRIAGE, Not long ago there appeared a very timely article in the Etude which summarized sought to impress the fact that any mother who had the advantage of a musical education possessed an investment of value for at least two generations. This cauggd a Mrs. Helen Cope to write commend- ing the article and further em- phasizipg the need for a woman keep- ing up her music after her marriage for her family's sake. Among other things Mrs. Cope said: "It made me realize that I should be glad that through sixteen years of married life I had kept up, in a measure at least my music, and also regret I had not done more." When the average woman marries and soon allows other duties and interests to crowd out her music, the early years of study, their time and expense, seem almost wasted. In giving up music one really shows ingratitude to the parents who pro- vided the edueation and is unjust to herself, her home and family. The home with music has a different and | more refined atmosphere than that with no music. I cannot hear to think of life without music." Lenine comping that he can't sleep. And yet people have accused | him of having no conscience.--De- troit Free Press. Sometimés a radiophone selection reamyot be heard, but the radiophone enthusiast is generally articulate. Toronto Telegram. No Surplus Skilled Labor in Building Trades in Oshawa There is no surpius of skilled lah or in the hullding trades in Oshawa, according to Supt. C.J. Wilcox, of the Government Employment Bureau, who anticipates a very busy huilding season locally on account of the num- ber of permits being issued. Brick- layers and carpenters will he great- ly in demand. As yet there is no great demand for laborers, although the mines up north are taking quite a few, while others will be required later, when the T. & N.O. Railway extension he- gins. The C.P.R, and G,T.R. are taking on from time to time con- work as yet. Oshawa factories. are taking on from time to time con- siderable skilled help. Experienced farm hands are scarce. The Bureau is a very busy place these days as every morning men turn up from outside places looking for work, --p-- THE WORTH OF MUSIC SCOTTISH SONG In Scot's popular song the predom- inant personality is Robert Burns. He is predominant as musical editor almost as much as song writer, Many of the old songs, whether touched by him or not, are wedded to airs iwhich he discovered or selected; and 'his own lyrics--hie own either by transformation or original creation ----were written for special airs, gen- erally chosen by himself, and thus music and song were wedded hy him in an immortal union. But even apart from Burns and the older unknown bards, Scots' song, except in its more me, Jern vulgarized forms, is distinguished by an exceptionally high level of excellence. Some sue- cessors of Burns--such as Scott, Hogg and Lady Nairne--were par- ticularly felicitous as song writers land, like Burns, they usually wrote {their songs for particular tunes, | Some comparatively modern songs, written for Highland music, are | unsurpassable for fire and spirit, as | Scott's **Pibroch o' Donal Dhu" and !**Macgregor's Gathering," Lady {Nairne's "Hundred Pipers" and Miss |Campbell's "March of the Cameron Men." | Of the actual charm and beauty {of this music, a foreigner is a better | judge than a native, to whom it is | endeared by associations that are other than musical, and. there are imany instances on record of High- [1and and Lowland airs being used by | French and German composers as a foundation or continuation of some { haunting, exquisite melodies. | There's this much to be said at least for the present-day Tlapp@r. -| She dresses for comfort.--Bridge- | port (Conn.)
