The school closing of Section No. 8, Llslington school, held last Thursday 'evening was a very pleasant affair, though tinged with regret at the loss =sustained by 1he resignation of Mr. Ball, who had been principal of the, :schoolfor a number of years. At the -close of a very interesting programme arrovided by the scholars he was pre- sented with $25.00' in gold from the ratepayers ot the section, also a Irand- some suit case from his pupils. Mr. Ball made a fitting reply assuring parent and pupil of his sincere appre- ciation of these Tokens of esteem, al- so assuring them that had he con- tinued in the work nothing would have given him greater pleasure than venrainfng as principal of Is- lington school. But he felt the time _ had come fol him to retire. He would always take an interest in :school life and hoped they would al- ways feel free to come to him for any help he could give them even though the relation ot principal and pupil was severed. r,.'c,,)r,' Mar.

"We are told simply that this or that is not possible," said President Woolner. "They are possible to men who try honestly and are willing to appeal to the help of the people." Mr. Woolner was equally sure that the payment of taxes could be made in two install- ments and at points more convenient than that in the City of Toronto, and at better hours than only between 10 Wyn---” -"e'" _ out to fight to the end," he declared, amidst applause.

C GOD'S ,VVONDERFUL REDEMPTION "With the Lord there is mercy, and jwith Him is plenteous redemption."- Psa. 130:7.---Golden Text. The lessons of the past quarter tell us ot God's never failing goodness to the Jews ind show how he uses his power and love to induce men to turn to him in their need, that he may save them from the Consequences ot their Sins. '; God's chosen people had been driv- en from the promised land and were in_captivity in Babylon. Under this affliction they learned, as they had never learned before, that heathen gods were powerless, their worship vain and sinful. and that there was but one true God. It was not until the second generation had grown up in captivity that they became wiser :and better fitted to receive emancipa- itiOn from slavery. From those who participated in this blessing came the Judiasm of later centuries. The courage and devotion which prompted these exiles to travel across the desert, back to the land of their fathers, was followed by periods ot in- difference and backsliding. But through all' the difficulties of recon- struction, God \was revealing Himself as mighty to help those who would permit him to work his divine will re- garding their salvation. _ The quarter's lessons begin with the Psalm of Deliverance of those who by the decree of Cyrus were permitted to return from the land of captivity to Palestine. there to rebuild the temple \Years of poverty and hardship await- ed them, aud their enthusiasm in their mission grew cold. The king» then commissioned Ezra to lead a company and-carry vast treasure on a mission ot help and reform among the people Ezra instituted many social and reJi- gious reforms, reforms that would en- able them to preserve their integrity as a separate race from.the heathen peoples around them. Nehemiah learning that notwith- standing- Ezra's efforts the people were in a deplorable condition, deter- mined that even at a great personal sacrifice he would make a supreme effort fo rebuild the city of the Tem- ple and lead the people back to the worship of the true God. After ob- taining the_kirur's permission he went to Jerusalem, and under great ditti- cylties placed in his way by the ene- mies of the Jews. he fortified Jerusa- lem, revived some of szra’s reforms and instituted others. A man of pray- er» and great faith, in all his difficul- MP. B. Ramsden was chairman MOUNT DENNiS THISTLETO\VN RUSSELL ROAD God does not, force himself into the hearts and lives of men. It they think they can go alone, he lets them try it ifor a while, and what colossal failures _ they have made. But the heart of the Heavenly Father is always tender to- ward the children of men, and when they come back to him repentant, confessing and prayerful, he is always ready to help them. Back to God--- that is the slogan for these days-- back to faith in God, back to the Word of God, back to humble obedi, ence to God, back to, the Christ of God. Then, in spite of every hind- rance, God will bring us to the place where he has chosen to set his name. Discussion Questions (Based on the Golden Texts) 1. What is the connection between 1 sowing in tears and reaping" in joy? In lesson 10 we learn of that great Bible Class held in Jerusalem. The Israelites had at times been given in- struction in the law of Moses, but this was a new movement to explain fully and impress upon the pecple’s minds the teachings ot the law. The progress of civilization and the study of God's word have always gone hand in hand. The higher the standard in all that makes for human welfare and better- ment the more the teachings of the Bible are obeyed and its principles fol- lowed. q After his return to Babylon, INEyhe- miah heard of the desecration of the Sabbath by the Jews. The nobles, men of influence and wealth, the heads of the leading families were desecrating God's day, and the poorer people were trading and selling on the Sabbath, so that the Sabbath was not different from the other days of the week. Ne- hemiah was brave, honest and con- scientious, and he lost no time in go- ing to Jerusalem, where, as the king's officer, he called the nobles to account and established the observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest. ties he called upon Jehovah, and nex ed' called in vain. 2. What great things has God done to fill us with gladness? 3. How can we make best use of our churches? 4. 1irhat is it to have the help of God's hand? 5. Why is it foolish to boast of what you are going to do? B. Who have right to expect answer to their prayers? Who have no right? 7. For what have We the privilege of asking God? 8). How is aethankful heart a great benefit? _ 10. How shall we use the Bible to find it a light? 11. Why and how shall we 1'emem- ber the Sabbath? 12. Who can truly keep Christmas? 13. Why do we need, and how can we have "plenteous redemption?" 9. How can one be freed from fear of man? The Riverside Tennis Club met at the home of Mrs. Hammell last Thurs- day night. Two tables of euchre were played. Mr. Hammell and Mr. Dav- idson won first honors and. Mrs. L J. Canning and Mr. H. Coulter, conso- lation prizes. Next meeting of the club will be held at the home of Miss Irene Campbell, 153 Maria Street, on Thurs- day night, January 3, 1918.
