NY i ve J Depression--Continually Busy Making Fine ~ Products WINGHAM.--Celebrating his sev- enty-fifth year, J. R. Webster of St. Helens in West Wawanosh Town- ship, believes himself to be a "de- pression-beater." Born in Ashfield Township, he worked as a laborer as a young man and worked for a number of years on the famous Joynt estate near Lucknow. Advancing in years when the famous depression came on, he decided to take #p knitting as a hobby that might eventually help out financially. His knitting was confined to socks and soon he began to get a demand for them. Men going up to work in the lumber and pulp camps were hearty in the praise for the "allwool" products of his hands, The demand increased, and so far the past number of years he has been constantly busy simply '"knit- ting socks." Asked if he believes knitting to be a woman's job, he just laughs, "Of course it fsn't. I like knitting, and whoever says it isn't interest- ing . . . well, just let him try keeping threads from getting knot- ted." : Voting Is Oral ~ In The Bahamas No Other Unit of the British Commonwealth Has Retain- ed This Ancient System Voters line up alphabetically at the polls to elect their candidate to office in the Bahamas legislature by the antiquated viva voce (oral) method of voting now, but a-plan to change that is afoot. The Bahamas is the only unit in the British empire that has not re- formed its system of electing rep- resentatives. In the Bahamas, with 90 percent of its population negroes every proposal to introduce the sec- ret ballot has been contested hot- ly on the ground there would be no white legislators. Recently, the gov- ernment announced another pro- posal to change election laws and it would be placed before the fall session of the legislature. Lined Up Alphabetically Voters in the Bahamas mark no ballots. On election day, they go to the polls and are asked for just whom they wish to vote. Their an- swers are entered on a printed form by a recorder. When Harry Oakes, Canadian gold mine operator, defeated Milo Butler, negro grocer, for the legis- lature in the Nassau election sev- eral months ago, the campaign was so well organized that Oakes' sup- porters were lined up alphabetical- ly at the polls. Freedom Comes With Control To Be Responsible Is To Be Self-Controlled "I want to live my own life," is a common cry. Which life is that? We are mem- bers one of another. Your life and mine and the life of all our neigh- bors grow on one stem, writes John Straight in the London Daily Sketch. The creatures that live just their own life on the leaves; they are parasites. "Living your own life" means thinking only of yourself, and how bored you must get! It means gelf- indulgence, and that means for the most disease of the body, for all softening of the brain and harden. ing of the heart. "A Natural Weakness" The lunatic asylums are full of people who would lead their own lives. ¥or madness begins by your thinking yourself all important. A Purpose Beyond Self There's a lot of talk about free. dom nowadays, but few realize that freedom means responsibility, and that you can't be responsible until you have gained self-control. The strange paradox is that you can't gain self-control until you have a purpose outside yourself. Freedom {is not an instinct, but an art. You know that 1s go in music and sports and so on. The sbeolallst with perfect freedom of movement has gained it only by long and painful drudgery. So must you it you want to live a free life. ~~ Prophetic Stone There is said to be a kind of stone in Finland which, like a bar-. , ometer, forecasts the weather, The stone, according to report, turns black or blackish-grey when rain or bad weather is approach- ing, and becomes covered with -amall white spots at the approach of cléar weather, a England reports an Amerieln millionaaire who was so seasick on his first Atlantic crossing that he stayed aboard the rest of his life. Sunday School Lesson E] . LESSON | THE ONE TRUE GOD Exodus 20: 2, 3; Isalah 45:22; Mark 12:28-34; | Corinthians 8:4.6 Golden Text--Thou shalt love Je- hovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--Thg Ten Commandments were given 1498 B.C.; the passage from Isaiah was written about 690 B.C.; the conversation of our Lord with the scribe was on Tuesday, April 4, AD. 30; the First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was writ- ten A.D. 69. Place.--The Ten Commandments were given at Mount Sinai; the con- versation of Jesus with the scribe took place in Jerusalem; the city of Corinth was located in northern Greece. 2. I am Jehovah thy God. The most important and the most in- fluentjal conception that a man can have is his conception of God.sOur thought of God determines our out- 'look on the world. The word "Jehovah" means fun. damentally, One. ) Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bond- age. No Other Gods 3. Thou shalt have no other gods before nie. If God is what he claims to be, then he must be the supreme object of worship. Isa. 45:22. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; - for I am God, and there is none else. In the verse preceding the one assigned to our lesson from Isaiah, God is spoken of as "a Just God and a Saviour," {.e., a God who always does right, whose word is true, whose promises are fulfilled, and a God who is able to save his people from their sins, from wrath, from eternal death, from their ene- mies. Because God is such a God he can extend the invitation that we find in our verse, "Look unto me and be ye saved." There is in this serve a testimony to God's uni- queness, to God's knowledge of the helplessness of man, to God's love for man in his helplessness. Mark -12:28-34. 28. And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all? This conversatici took place on Tuesday of Passion Week, in the city of Jerusalem. The Pharisees, having heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, gather- ed around him. ~The Jews divided the Pentateuch into six hundred and thirteen precepts, three hun- dred and sixty-five prohibitions, as many as there were days in the year, and two hundred and twenty- eight commandments, as many as there were parts in the body. Among the greater commandments they reckoned Sabbath observance, circumcision, rules of sacrifice and offerings, and rules about fringes and phylacteries. The Two Commandments 29. Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: 30. and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. 31. The second {s this, Thou shajt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other com- mandment greater than these. In reply to the scribe's question, the Lord quoted Deut. 6:4, 5 and Lev. 19:18. Though Jesus does not di- rectly quote from the Ten Com- mandments, he does quote a pas- sage which summarizes the teach- ing of all the Commandments, and puts the emphasis first on the char- acter and recognition of God, then upon our utter, absolute love for God, and finally, upon our love for one another. If every living person were just obedient to these two commandments, to love the only true and living God with all one's being, and then truly to love one's neighbour, he would be living the fullest, richest, most satisfying life men can ever attain to. 32. And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well sald that he is one; and there is none other but he: 33, and to love him with all the heart, and with all 'of God. Life Pole "Is Really Fun" Geologist and Wife Found The Far North An Ideal Place To Live EDMONTON.--A life in the Arc- tic with fish and canned food flown in to them by airplane, was de- scribed as "Great Fun" by Mr, and Mrs, A. Lincoln Washburn, of Han- over, NH, . Washburn, a geologist still in his '20's, returned here after a six weeks' study of glacler and geolog- ical formations in the far north. By airplane and schooner he and his wife visited a number of points, in- cluding Yellowknife, Cambridge Bay, Read Island, the Colville Mountains, Victoria Island and th Baillie Island, ' "It was great fun," Mrs. Wash- burn said. "Glad to get back?" No. I'd like to stay up there. The people are simply wonderful. And there wasn't any hardship. The food was good -- fish and canned food that was flown in by airplane, It's the way I like to live." At Read Island in the Arctic Oc- ean, they visited Mrs. Ray Ross, North America's farthest north white woman, Mrs. Ross {s the wife of a Hudson's Bay Company trader. Glass Buttons Provide Safer Night Driving R. M. Smith, Ontario's deputy minister of highways, announced last week his department would ex- tend the use of an experimental safety device which is being tried qut on the middle road. "The device consists of a number of small glass buttons, about the size of a half dollar, placed in sets of three on short posts about 100 feet apart and seven feet from the shoulder of the road. So far they have been tried on a mile and a half stretch of highway just west of Oakville, on the south lane of the middle road. The buttons catch the gleam of the headlights of a car at 100 foot intervals and reflect the light, the deputy-minister explained. They appear to a fast-travelling car like a continuous streak of light that outlines the road clearly and shows up any pedestrian or cyclist, the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices. 34. And when Jesus saw that he an- swered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom And no man after that durst ask him any question. The meaning here is that we should have the same solicitous regard and care for our neighbours which we have for ourselves. It is really an. other form of the Golden Rule. Je- sus, perceiving that the scribe ans- wered intelligently, said, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." Paul Reaffirms It I Cor. 8:4. Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is any- thing in the world, and that there is no God but one. 6. For though there be that 'are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth: as there are gods many, and lords many. There i8 no God, no real Divine Being, but one. As in so many other places in the New Tes- tament, Paul is not content with a negative denial, but now brings forth a positive affirmation--the gods of the heathen are non-exist- ent, but there is a God who is God the Father, from whom all things come, and in whom, through the Lord Jesus Christ, we are. 6. Yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. See John 1:3; Heb. 1: 2, 3; Cok 1:16; Rom, 11:36. Note the contrast be- tween the many gods of the heath- en and the one God of the Chris- tians, The whole passage is a clear acknowledgment on the part of the apostle Paul that the Lord Jesus Christ was external in hig exist- ence. Our God is not a rival of any other .gods. In him is life, and without him there is no lite. "Are You Listening?

Says Film Stars Live The Longest Dr. Lawrence Spangard, a Hol- Ilywood hospital doctor, believes that film stars live longer than most folk. "My study of film stars has led me to believe that practically ev- eryone who gets into the first ranks of players adds 10 years to his life," he says. "It is nothing unusual. Stars take better care of themselves than tne average person because they must be physically attractive as well as mentally alert. "They work hard, which is good for tf. When they rest they get plenty of sunshine and fresh air." "= Oh, well, who wouldn't -- on $1,000 a minute, or whatever it is stars get.

Caesar, 0.A.C.,, Guelph, urg- es low cutting of corn this fall as a help in the control of the borer and a means of avoiding the un. pleasant task of hand-picking stub- ble in the spring. Professor Caesar writes as follows: "There is a large crop of corn al- most all over the province this fall and as a result many persons will be tempted to cut it high. To do so would be a mistake because the borer is decidedly more abundant this year in most counties than usual and extra eare will have to be taken to hold it in control. The long stubble means that several times as many borers will be left in the fields after removing the stalks as there would be if the corn had been cut low. Moreover, it is very much more difficult to plow long stubble under completely and not drag it up again in the spring when working the field; hence far- mers wishing to avoid the neces- sity of hand-picking their fields for next winter should cut their corn as low as practicable."
