'-what good is there in the stand we in .mp1-pg?" a young Christian asked the other day. 'There are so few of us who believe what we be- 'eve and who live as we live.” any of the practices of the world around them these young people "iefused to follow and did not seem to them that their example was ;..v1ng any effect. Undoubtedly one of the discouraging features at the life of our time is the way n which leaders in society boy- mtt those who refuse to drink or patronize Questionacble indul- gences. St. Paul wrote to I still ;,-nsller minority: "Be not con- -ormed to this world," and this in- uinction is just what these young people are obeying. History records zhe effects of such fidelity. . The answer to this question giv- .-n by prophets and apostles is the doctrine of "The Remnant." It be- gan with Elijah. He had taken a strong stand on Mount Carmel against the idolatry introduced me the life of Northern Israel by Jezebel. the pagan queen. Up, to mat point she had carried the na- -..;,n with her, and when Eiijan took his stand. it was a case of one man in protest against the down- ward tendencies of the whole na- l.lDl'I. But here. ”one with God .l'aS a majority" and the Prophet was vindicated splendidly by the direct act of God. But no such miracle could move Jazebcl. the pegan fanatic. She threatened the prophet's life and he had to flee. H": cornplsiirit to God was this: "They have slain Thy prophets with the sword . . . and I. even l only, am left: and they sack my life to take it away." The LON answered with great patience. di- rected the discouraged prophet what to do in the circumstances. and added: "Yet have I left seven :housand in Israel. all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him." (I Kings 19:10).

Always a Eemrisnt

There are always more DCODIE standing for God and the right than is realized by those in the thick of the tight. They may be over-borne for the moment, but ultimately they cannot but pre- vail. To the superficial view the mass of men seem bent on evil. but there is always something in the depths of their nature which responds to the good and true. In

' the heat of the controversy the

spirit of the mob carries them away, but, when they cool down and reflect. their better nature re- asserts itself and conscience finds its voice and authority. This was so with the movement back to the worship of the God of Israel started by Elijah. Under Elisha and his eucce the nation's faith i.n the God of Israel was re- established. I5IIIth found the na- tion under a. weak king yielding to Assyria in both politics and re- ligion. and his answer was: "A remnant Ihlll return. even the remnant of Jacob. unto the mighty God." (Isaiah l0:2ll. And the Apostle Paul. faced with his peo- ple's rejection of Jesus as their Messiah. recalled Eiijah's experi- ence and consoled himself with the fact: ”So too It the present

- time there is a remnant. chosen by

grace." (Romans 11:5).-

Aa a matter of fact, every move- ment upward started as a despised minority. Modem missions are an example. When Robert Morrison

-went, to China as a pioneer mil-

sionary he was ridiculed for at- tempting something absurdly im-

.nossible. and many who followed

him met the same scorn. Wesley and the Wesleyens were often driven into hiding v.-itli sticks and stones. Farther back, the leaders of the Reformation died by thous- ands for their faith. Farther back still. St. Athanasius cried. "I Athanuius, against the world" as he found opinion i.ri church and state running heavily against his contention for the truth of Christ's Divinity, on which the salvation

the world depended. Back farther still. the Apostles found the learning. the prestige and the power of the time against them as they proclaimed the Gospel, and far behind thorn the prophets. In all these cases, the future was with

r the minority. Pitifully few and

weak as they seemed at first in the eyes of the world, they were majestic in their convictions of the truth and magnificent in their loyalty to it. and the descendants of those who rejected their teati-

" many and persecuted them for giv-

ing it -wrshipped at the altars which they set up to the glory of God.

Never In Vain

No stand taken for God and

-' hteousncaeda ever taken in vain. The number of those who discern

the Divine will i-n their situation and are committed to it Is no mea-

7 sure of the range of their influ- , once.

. ”hhe salt of the earth"--the orc-

Jdul calltd His disciples

Icrvative that keeps the dead world from putrafying. The bulk of the left is very small in comparison with the runs in which it is pack-

? -d. but it is the motor which de-

termine: the future. Believers. who "0 the conscience of the commun- IIV. may be few but they are "Itshty.

outward forms of Christian justice and love. wholly unaware that the orlgin of these principles and ideals was the presence of the living God in the souls of the few.

Need To Take Stand

It is the intensity of the Chris- tian's spiritual convictions and loyalties that decides the depth and extent of his influence in h.ll world. The need of a new passion for Christ and His way of life is very great. Conaid the figures given in the daily papers on the number of arrests for drunken- ness-l3.'788 in Toronto alone in 1950-and then ask if a stand for temperance in private life and public policy is not a prime ne- cessity? The very fount of life is being defiled by the way in which the relations of the sexes is being travestied by many writers and public entertainers for their own gains-a stand for purity is to stand on guard against the enemies of the nation's life. This is not to be pessimistic about our own generation. One is filled with ad- miration at the way in which Christ's laws of life are being obeyed by a large proportion of our young people. But let no one imagine that personal loyalty to Christ in his daily living is fruit-. less; it is a source of all that is good in the nation.

The ear exceeds all other senses in acutenesa of perception. Ears which are well trained can distin- guish between notes which differ less than one-hundredth part of a tone. Notes higher than 4000 vib- ration per second are. however. distinguished with great difficul- . . Why do animals cock their heads to one side when they are in the act of listening? Be- cause changing the position of the head brings certain muscles time

use, making the car more open for sounds. . . In New York's Chinatown. apartments are so

crowded on week-ends that whole families take turns using the same beds. The week-end congestion is due to the arrival of friends from outlying districts. An old Chinese custom still kept up in America's largest city, is sasvlng employees both lunch and supper while on, the job. . . Chinatown has a unique club; the altar of which is embossed in gold. It was brought to N. Y. C. from China, in 1870.

Many villages and small towns in the U. S. A. have large spruce trees growing in their squares, which are used for Christmas trees during the Holy holiday. If this custom was adopted in the Garden of the Gulf. I think it would, add greatly to the beauty of our turesque rural centres. Re- production ls it process only found in organized beings. Stones never reproduce their kind, but organiz- ed bodies have the power to create new beings like themselves; and this is the most wonderful phen- omens of life.

Animals such as birds walk on two legs. Monkeys and various quadrupede have been trained to walk on their hind legs. yet they do not stand erect like man. Why? Because. owing to their anatomi- cal strucuire, the erect position is impossible. But scientific investi- gations have shown that the beast has reason as well as man. . While most of us have 12 ribs on each side of our bodies, occasion- ally there are found 13 instead of in and sometimes only 11. There are '1 true ribs and five false ribs. strange but trust. . A wom- an's pulse beets faster than a man's - 7 to 10 beats faster, to be exact. At birth the normal pulse' rate is l36; from two to seven years, M; fourteen to twenty-one, 70; seventy-seven to eighty-four. '11. The average rate of pulsation in males. from two to eiaht years is '73; that of the opposite sex is 82. Both Napoleon and Wellington had slow pulse bests, not averag-

ing more than fifty beats a min-
