th editors column keep up thetlood work in georgetown this year fire loss has been far- below average mostly becausecrf a wet summer and the cooperation of citizens in avoiding fire hazards next week october 5th to 1 1 th we are particularly asked to direct our minds along fire prevention lines durincr fire prevention week so proclaimed by royal proclamation the need for such thought is shown in the fact that in canada in 1946 408 people lost their lives through fire and nearly fifty million dollars in property damage occurred georgetown as we have said has been fortu nate this year and our local fire brigade has not had any thing big to cope with but the danger is always present and in order to make their work lighter they particularly ask that furnace pipes be checked the wet summer and heavy humidity have been hard on pipes and preventive action now can save you dol lars later on two recent fires one of which could easily have been serious have both been traced to chil dren playing with matches every parent can help avoid this by telling their children of the serious con sequences which might jesuit and by keeping matches nway from the smaller members of the family such cooperation will give georgetown a proud record of fire control in 1 947 and do our bit to make canadas fire loss a minimum a board of education mayor gibbons with the unanimous approval of counril has fulfilled an election pledge of last year and at this years municipal elections voters will be asked if they favour a board of education elected an nually such a board would replace the present sys tem whereby two boards one elected and one appoin ted administer affairs for primary and secondary schoos in order that voters may be familiar with the system which it is proposed to replace we might brief ly review the present school board setup the public school is administered by a sixmember board compri sing two elected representatives from each of george towns three voting wards each serves a twoyear term and one member is elected annually from each ward present members of the board are ward t mrs perc cleave miss annie ryan ward z j d kelly harry shortill ward 3 e v maccormack chairman dr j b milne voting interest in the public school board has never been very strong and mr shortill is the first member of the board to obtain his seat by other than acclamation in more than twen ty years the high school board is also a sixman board which is appointed rather than elected three mem bers are appointed by the town and three by the coun ty each serves a threeyear term and one appoint ment is made annually by each of the town and county councils board members at present are town rep resentatives dr f r watson dr a mcallister bruce mackenzie county representatives h m moyer chairman archdeacon w g o thompson john bingham while no criticism of either of the preserit boards is implied the mayor and his colleagues in council believe that school affairs taking as they do over thirty per cent of the tax money are too impor tant an item to go unnoticed by the ratepayers and too much responsibility to place on the shoulders of ap pointed men they further believe that one school board administering education from six years old to high school leaving could better administer the system and coordinate facilities conservation is important reeve maclaren at the last town council mee ting introduced a subject which should not be allowed to go by the boards and yet one which has so many ramifications that it is really too big a matter for a mu nicipal council to deal with he pointed out the seri ous effects which can eventually result if attention is not paid to soil conservation in the crectit river valley and fuggested that action be taken to conserve soil which now is being washed down the credit with ev ery storm and spring flood soil conservation entails among other things proper reforestation and instruction to farmers indivi dually and collectively in proper plowing methods it is a slow process but one which over the years will pay dividends for this section of the country and for can ada reeve maclaren is to be congratulated on his encouragement of conservation action a logical dev elopment of his idea would be to have a meeting called of representatives of municipalities and farm groups in die credit valley area to discuss the problem and see l action is warranted sunday school lesson the better revelation by rev r c todd lesson hebs j 14 21386li we begin lhis we a series or lessons that deal with letters writ ten by early leaders of the christian i church which circulated among cer tain or the congregations for their edification and instruction in the faith these letters ificludintf he brews james 1 and 2 peter jude 1 2 and 3 john and revelation all reflect a background of persecution and trial during which the christ ians found themselves contending for their faith against pagan idol atry and the rudhless might of the roman empire the christians like the adherents of the various pagan religions found that they could not maintain their faith and accommodate their consciences to the official policies of rome the hebrews to whom the epis tle under consideration this week is addressed were those orthodox and quite conservative and strict jews scattered throughout the roman empire who had clung to the forms of their ancient religion the letter is written in an effort to set forth the christian position as an out growth of the covenant made by god with the ancient israelites first the writer deals with gods revelation of himself heb i 14 he revealed himself at many times and in many ways through the old tes- tent prophets but in the writers time through his son who is decla red to be jesus of nazareth who was crucified and resurrected the ear thly life of this jesus is seen against the background of an eternal exis tence both before and after his days among men these things the wri ter says about him 1 he is gods son 2 it was by him that god created the worlds not world here is full agreement with the writer of the gospel according to john by htm were all tfhings made and with out him was nothing made that was made john l 3 3 he effected an atonement for human sin 4 he now shares in the moral government of the universe which must finally de termine the outcome of history he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high he upholds all things by the word of his power 1 3 for some years there has been a tendency among qhrltians to look upon nature and history as media of gods revelation of himself thls is not unnatural since faith does see indications ol gods wihdom powvr and creative activity in the works of his creation and h is onl natural too that christians of uxliiy who have seen the overthrow ol lortes uf evil that once wemed secure lmm assault and who faces a future thai ii still menaced by continuing loins of evil in all nations will feci that history presents its ovn letoid ol the sovereignty and justice of god but it is unly indication uit m i- and a record that they observe and it is only because they have known god in jesus christ and uiq jr phets that they are able to discern hun in nalujc and histuij lnuitd nature and hiitory both contain many dark and dlsiui blng in which faith finds it hard to dis cern ood for the chi istmns there was only one final velatlon of god unto us hath be spoken b his faon out ixtmc as surance comes from christ himself he that hath seen me hath seen the father in the second passage of the les son text i hub 2 13 1 the v i iter re lates his theology to life and states that since christ shares with god the moral government of the verse men ought to give earnest heed to the teachings of jesus of nazareth how shall we escape he declares it we neglect the salva tlon which is offered to us and oil world in jesus christ later in the jetter he says our god u a consu ming fire because god is truth no sham or hypocrisy can hope to stand before him because he it love no hate can overcome him because he is just no injustice can stand before him when men build for themselves a house ol nes as they have built or themselves in every nation of the world today then god is the hand which tears it down about their ears wlien they wrap themselves up in some elabor ate deception to cover up their dis obedience of his commandments god is the wind lhal strips them bare and naked and all this he does not because he is anger but because he is truth and love in the last pasagc of the lesson text the writer of hebrews contrasts the old covenant established with moses on mount sinai with the new covenant established in christ the old was sealed with the blood of sac rificial animals the new with the blood of god s own son who gave himself as a living sacrifice the old could never accomplish its pur pose as the sacrifices made for sin were always externa to the worship per and the animal could be slain without any corresponding change in the worshippers life for it i was provided by the sinful worshipper and identified with himself but the sacrifice of c hrlst was a sacrifice provided by ood which alone could make it worthy and is of such a na- 1 tore to chance the heart of any- j one who beholds it in faith i whereas the old covenant was written on tablets of stone and was an external authority the new as jeremiah whom the writer quotes in heb 810 foresaw would be written on human tiearts- the writer speaks as we mentioned earlier of christ being the complete revelation of ood this does not mean merely that jesus taught certain truths and facts about ood it means that in christ in his life his teachings his atonement his resurreotloilj we are confronted by god it is a per sonal encounter wihlch demands of us a moraf and spiritual decision revelation is not merely an intellec tual matter god stands before us in christ behold i stand at the door and knock if he comes in life
