Most Crime Due To Dope Fiends Pea! Drug addicts and dope fiends are responsible for a great many present-day crimes, Deputy-Sher- iff George Smith, of Port Huron, told the Sarnia Lions Club. _ Modern police methods are un- covering facts not previously re- cognized and it is being learned that drugs are at the back of most of the sex murders, bank holdups, and other major crimes in North America, Mr. Smith continued. "We are now realizing how widespread and serious the drug habit has become," the deputy- sheriff said. “So far we have beam unable to cope adequately with the situation, especially in the case of marihuana." The traffk in marihuana has not yet got into the hands of any one drug ring. he stated, and this fact makes police methods inadequate to fight it. A dope gang is some- thing concrete for the police to work against, but when the drug ttnf:ic is in the hands of independ- ent pedlars it is not so easy to lit-zit, Mr. Smith said. "Girls are effected more than men by marihuana," the speaker stated. "UrAer the int1uenee of this drug women have no control of themselves. They will obey any commends given to them, and no matter what they are ordered to do, they will do it." Elections Act Habit Has Become Very widespread-ttme In Mar- ihuana Largely Responsible. The statute which was approved at the last session of Parliament consolidating the Franchise and Dominion Elections Acts will come into force on March 1, says a pro- clamation published in the current issue of the Canada Gazette. Many alterations were made in the existing statutes, among them abolition of the position of Domi- nion franchise commissioner and of the basic list of voters. The whole system was carefully comb- ed and the Act now being pro- claimed was characterised by sev- eral committee members as “the best it was humanly possible to produce." - "“4 nan-entauon and produce."

M, and it was therefore in that year that the preaching of Philip in Samaria took place. - Piaee.-The city of Samaria is located in the midst of the pro- Vince of Samaria, in which we might call central Palestine. - - . .. al --_- -.t.- we... -.... --_.___t Instead of quieting those who were bitterly persecuting the early church in Jerusalem the martyr- dom of Stephen seemed to have fanned into n hotter flame their hatred for the new faith. After the burial of Stephen there arose the greatest of all the persecu- tors of the apostolic church, Saul of Tarsus, who later was to be the greatest of ttll the defenders of the faith. So often revivals are the cause of sharp words, of unjust criti- cism, and sometimes of public aenouncements. This great work of Philip of Samaria had not pro- eceded many days before one ap- peared in these revival circles who, if allowed his way, would have wrought great havoc in the cause of the Christian faith in cause of the Christian faith in that city. From the Mother Church It. Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Sa.. maria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. This verse shows that the church at Jerusalem was re- garded as the mother church. 15. Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: 16. for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been bap- tized into the name of the Lord 1......“ Thu gnomes did not come Sunday Shool Lesson tized into the name of the Lord Jesus. The apostles did not come down to collect money; they did not come down especially to cate- chize; they did not come down to make proselytes, but they did seek the spiritual enrichment of the lives of these young Christians. 17. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. This experience of the Samaritans was exceptional, and was intended to teach that, as mi- raculous gifts might be withheld for a time from true converts. so in the future, as at the present day. conversion might be quite as real even though attended by no miracles or signs. , 18. Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apos- tles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19. saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsocver I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy l Spirit. Simon's attitude is that of a pro- fessional wizard convinced that strangers have at command magic- al powers of wonderful strength. l He fancied that he could by money be instructed how to acquire, use. i and impart, all in the way of " --__ LL:- auu "op'""' .u. _-_ - trade, these powers. From this act of Simon's comes our word "simony," the crime of buying, selling, or bargaining for spiritual functions. The sin of Simon is virtually repeated when a man gets himself appointed to office in the church, not that he may do God's work, but that he may make a living or gratify his ambition. Buying God's Gift 20. But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, be- cause thou hast thought to ob- tain the gift of God with money. 21. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God. Worldly power can be possessed, and often is-the power of a great intel- lect, the power of ruling great multitudes, power for winning bat- tles, power for making money,-- by those who are not right with Cod U00. 22. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. - -‘ " AL-.. at l., tha - v~ -v_v, 23.

They therefore, when they had testifted and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem and preached the pope! to many villages of the Samaritan.

For some years the provision ot better meals tor tourists and other visitors has been part of Govern- mental activity in such provinces as Quebec and Nova Scotia, where it is realized that the way to a tour- ist's heart is as much through his food as through anything else. Classes in cookery, particularly tor the tourist trade, have been started and emphasis has been placed up- on the preparation of what might be considered native dishes. on. taria could afford to do likewise.

In the first place, they "testificul," which is the translation of a Greek word meaning to give solemn testimony to some great fact, to cause it to be believed. The second phrase "spoke the word of the Lord," would certainly indicate that they believed that they were proclaim- ing divine truth, a message given to them by the Lord Ind concern- ing the Lord. The last phrase, "preaehed the gospel," comes from the word "evamrelize," and so this last phrase could read, "evangelir ed in many villages of the Samari- tans." rd Benes, former president of Czecho- Benes as they arrived in New York. visiting professor to the University of credits, said that nation's only chance of defeating the Japanese was to wear them out by creating a virtually new China in what was once the Hinterland.
