Place: The Eplstlo to the Romans wai written to the church at Rome, from the city of Corinth, in Greece. 1. Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers. Those are all the higher officers of the Empire, not only the Emperor, but those repuc- s:^iitiiii; the Emperor throughoui the provinces of the Roman Empire. For there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of Cod. Not only is human government a divine institution, but the form in v/hlch that government exists and thi persons by whom its functions arc crtercised are determined by his providonct". 2. Therefore he that rcsisteth the ro.vcr, v.'ithstundeth the ordinance o! God: and they that withstand sUa'.l receive tv) themselves judg- nu':it. "Judgment" in this verse means the judgment of the govorn- mont resisted, i.s., puni.^hment for d!;;o!;ri!ience t3 the government's ll'.T.:. 3. For rule:3 aro not a terror to the j'ood work, but to the evil. No {•,;)v:;rnn->,-nt, even th:)ugli it is cor- rupt, ever fundame:i'.ally arts to piMiish the good and favor tlie Vvronic. .\nd wouidc^t thou h;\ve no f •â- '.r of the power? do that which is g03d. and thou shalt h:ivj praise frr.i the rame. 1. F.ir he is a minister nf God to thc:^ for good. As much as we may d-:- '..ijrce with the policies of a gov- c:n;iictit, cvm, at times, with our ov.:\ we know that the ultimate ob- jc t, whether it be achieved or not, of govcrmcntal legislation is the wolfiu-o of that government's sub- jc:v3. But if thou do that which is cvi', be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a min- ister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. The sword is here used as a symbol of authority and especially of the right of life mid death in punishment fir doiu.i; evil. Ti. Wherefore yi\ must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wr;ith, but also for conscience' sake. "If the state were only armed with niv-ana of punishing, it would be enough to regard it with fear, but it is the representative of God to as- sert justxe among men and hence it is fro;« a principle of conscience thit submission must be given to it." (â- '. For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of (iod's service, attending continually upon thij very thing. The word here tran- 8l:ited "tribute" refers esiKH-ially to ta::03 upon houres. Iand.~, and per- so:â€"., and particularly to iinr.ual tax- es (:â- :•- Luke 20: 2-2; 23: 2). ?. Render to all their dues: trib- »ut3 t,> whom tribute is due; custom to v/hcm custom. The word "custom" hiw a Krcat many various meanings In the New Tcstanj^nt, but here re- fers especially to "custom duties." "tolls" (see Matt. 17: 25). Fear to who:n fear. "Such as is duo to an "authorized avenger of wrong." Hon- or to whom honor. It is a very bad sign in any country when tho.se who ar.' in authority are spoken of in a light way, and when men "set at nought dominion and rail at digni- ties" (Jude 8: 2 Pet. 2: 10.) 8. Owe no man anything. This, fmidamoiitally, refers to the preced- ing verso, i.e., we are not to owe to men what it is our business to pay- taxes, customs, fear, honor; but, of course, the verse also covers the matter of debts in general as well. Save to love one another: for he • that loveth his neighbor hath ful- filled the law. This ilebt we are al- British Planes For Canada v.-ays owing to men. The ne.\t verso explains th's fundamental principle of life. 9. For this. Thou shalt not com- mit adultery. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in thil Word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love al- ways i.s concerned with the welfare of the one loved. Love can never in- tentionally harm the loved one. 10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the ful- filment of th > law. The la>v here re- ferred to is, of course, that part of law which has to do v.ith the rela- tions between one man and another in this life. If all men sincerely loved each other, thousands of laws on our statute books could be can- celled, for they would be automatic- ally and enthusiastically obeyed. 11. And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep. The sentence simply means that the conditions of the time demand that believers should be alert and at work. For now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed. The salva- tion here referred to is that ultimate consummation of our redemption which will occur on the morning of our resurrection. 12 The night is far spent, and the day is at hand. (See I Thess. 5: 5.) This passage probably refers to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. The Lord's return is ever in the New Testa- ment, not an excuse for indifference or carelessness, but an incentive for an ever-increasing holiness of life (see Heb. 10: 25, 37; I Cor. 7: 29; I Pet. 4: 7). Nova Scotia Coal In 1934 over 3,300,000 net tons of Nova Scotia coal were so'»l in Que- bec and Ontario being the largest amount on record since before 1913. This movement fell to 2.605,242 iiet tons in 1985, but prelin;inafy figures for the first six months of 193G hold promise of an increase even over the liVJI figures.

Thrtiugh the co-operation of the Economics and Dairy Husbandry Departments of the Ontario .Agricul- tural College and the Economics Branch, Dominion Department of Ag- riculture, a research staff is now en- â-º raged in this study. It is planned to learn the cost for every section of Ontario and for ev- ery type of market.

Each co-operator has been supplied with an account book whicii has been carefully preparoii by the Oniailo .A.grieultural College and the Domin- ion Economics Branch, and approved by the joint committee of the milk producers. During the year, repre- sentatives of the Ontario Agricultur- al College and the Domi: ion Econ- omics Branch plan to call on each of the farmer producers to provide any desired assistance in connection with the keeping of the records. For some considerable time the milk producers have felt that the ac- curately <*»termined cost of produc- tion would be of great benefit to them In arriving at a satisfactory sale price. With this data at their command, they are convinced they will be placed in a more favorable positicn. On the other hand, the milk distributor, knowing the most advantageous consuir.er price and al- so his distribution cost as the result of his constant contact with consum- ers, ;s ,n an advantageous position in deali-vr with farmers.
