Pay men a high enough salary or promise them a erful position and they‘ll take reâ€" M But bribing men to be responâ€" There to be but the third alternative. So long as the Bible continues to exert the influence in the life of our communities that it has previously done, democracy will neither wilt nor wane. Democracy‘s grand superstructure has Been erected upon the sure foundation of Holy Scriptures. The twin pripciples of British justice and U.S. equality of man have their roots deep in the teachings of the Bible. That these two democracies, the British global emâ€" pire and the United States continental emâ€" pire, have forged to a place of leadership in the family of nations is in no small degree due to the happy position of the Bible in their midst. It is not a mere coincidence, either, that, among the nations, those whoseâ€"citizens enjoy the largest measure of prosperity and the greatest degree of personal freedom are the countries in which the Bible circulates freely. Among such, Canada enjoys an enâ€" viable position and scarcely less progressive are the other members of the empire and those nations that have close ties with it, Norâ€" way, Sweden and Denmark. In all these counâ€" tries, though they have their lawless eleâ€" ments, by the majority the Bible is respected an@ revered. It is the people‘s Book, found in every home, and its influence is mighty. DEMOCRACIES‘ FOUNDATION For as the people are swayed and as they go, so goes the nation. The Scriptures illusâ€" trate this point as they take the reader behind the scenes in Israelitish history to reveal the hand of the Almighty prospering or reproving the nation as it moves toward righteousness or idolatry. A more modern example is Gerâ€" many. Once mighty in championing a return to a pure, unadulterated faith in God‘s Word, German leaders since led their people to emâ€" bgace a Godless philosophy, which gave birth to the master race ideology and brought about the nation‘s doom. When their country is in danger men still volunteer to take responsibility for it. But we don‘t want to start another war to make deâ€" mocracy work. In these are fair warnings to persons who would listen to advice to exchange our faith in the old message of divine love and redeemâ€" ing grace for other newâ€"fangled ideas. As James Russell Lowell, the American poet, says: ‘"When the sceptic has found a place on this planet, ten miles square, where a decent man can live in decency, comfort and security, supporting and educating his children, unâ€" spoiled and unpollutedâ€"a place where age is reverenced, infancy respected, womanhood honored and human life held in due regardâ€" when the sceptic can find such a place, ten miles square on this globe, where the gospel of Christ has not gone and cleared the way, and laid the foundations and made decency and security possible, it will be time enough to consider his substitute and think of exâ€" changing the old faith for the new." Only three things rouse this willingness and fan it into anything like eagerness. One is a common danger. The second is the promâ€" ise of reward in money, power or position. The third is love of God, There was once a time when we thought freedom was all we needed for democracy. Then we decided we needed freedom plus an education. And then freedom, plus an educaâ€" tion, plus some pretty stiff antiâ€"trust laws. Today, in England, they‘ve decided they also need nationalization of basic industries. What can we do next to make democracy workable â€"and still keep democracy ? There never was a time in the history of the world when the simple message of the love of God in Jesus Christ was more needed than today. The world is sick and every nosâ€" trum under the sun has been tried in a vain endeavor to meet its needs. Let those who know the power of the gospel push its propaâ€" gation as commerce pushes into every corner of the globe in search of business. So shall we benefit the world spiritually, even as we lead it politically. The truth is that, with freedom, more and more people tend to take less and less responâ€" sibility for their country. Under these condiâ€" tions democracy can‘t work. What we need is people willing to take more and more responâ€" sibility for their country. And this willingâ€" ness is something that education, law and nationalization do not seem to supply.

No matter how many are bought it will be small return for the splendid service givcg here in T.B. clinics entirely free of charge. Altogether 7,500 Xâ€"ray examinations were given. A number of inci})ient cases of T.B. were revealed with beneficial results, while thousands of others had the satisfaction of knowing that they were free from any sympâ€" toms of the dread disease.

One of the most serious problems in the fighting of tuberculogis lies in early discovâ€" ery of the disease. the first stages, when T.B. is almost always curable a person may look and feel perfegtly well. The Xâ€"ray is the only way of finding the disease in its lie- ginning, and with the use of miniature film such as that used today, large groups of the population can be examined at small cost. Many thousands of these seals are bought to give a Yuletide touch to letters, gifts and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS Apathy is evidenced not only all through the year when only a small percentage of electors follow the activitiee of council through attending meetings or otherwise, but above all at election timé. _ Last December many ratepayers‘ meetings in the district turned into semiiâ€"wakes with only a few sad individuals on hand to view the remains. Naturally a candidate cannot give a fighting, inspired speech to empty chairs. As a result, many addresses are hurâ€" ried, illâ€"prepared and fail to present a clearâ€" cut picture of the candidate%'qfip‘)]atf orm. Most serious of all is the dearth of interest on election day. The record)for indifference again went to Toronto las Zanuary when 82% of the voters< yawned And stayed at home.

Some shortages, notably sugar, shortening, soap, butter, bacon, continue to darken the more favourable overall picture. In the postâ€"war scramble for foreign trade, one of Canada‘s great advantages is that this country‘s products, where they are known in the markets of other countries, are usually held in high repute. An example of this is the Dominion‘s wheat and flour. People who have eaten bread made from Canadian flour tend to remember it as the best bread they have eaten. This high reputation of our breadâ€" flour helps to sell our wheat. And the comâ€" bined reputations of the wheat and flour serve to make the way easier in sales abroad for many other of Canada‘s products. According to the Canadian Executives‘ Digest competent construction observers reâ€" Digest competent constru port that around 3608 ht port that around 3,500 "nonâ€"essential" conâ€" struction projeets valued at close to $90 milâ€" lion are now under way across Canada. There is a definite trend away from residential conâ€" struction, and little channeling of construcâ€" tion capacity fnto the housing field. The trade and public, accustomed to accept any kind of food item during wartime, are becoming more selective. It‘s not how much you make that makes you but how much you give. NEXT YEAR‘S GROCERIES In a nutshell, The Financial Post sums up Canada‘s 1947 food prospects as follows: Food prices both inside and outside the WPTB index are pressing upward, accelerâ€" ated by higher labor, material and repair costs and discontinuance of Dominion subsiâ€" dies on many foods.
