-ooooooooao-Q

There is an interesting touch in

st. John's first letter that at this nine we ought not to pass by. He is discussing Christian love. and Evidently the thought came to him ma: some might ask: What do mu mean by love? ' Here is the first part. of his an- swer: "By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

John was ivritlng in a period of 1...,-st-cution. The Roman Empire was then committed to the exter- ywnnilon of Christians. and at any ,..nment a believer might be called man to renounce his faith or die ((-2 it. The records of martyrdom fPllI.lII!l many examples of humble men and women who put their, 1:.-es between their loved ones and danger as Jesus did when He was arrested. There is no injunction lvi scripture which has been more wiendidly obeyed than this. Man after man in battle has given his Lie that his comrades might live. F.ve.rv week our newspapers tell ii: of heroic rescues where the res- rrer lmperilled his own life to are ot.hers and often the supreme :::rrIflCe is maria.

But life is not all tragic. and ijlf'il in looking up at the heroic w-gr eyes overlook the necessities ...d opportunities of the common av Hence St. John adds: "But. .. anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet jnscs his heart against him. how mes God's love abide in him? Lit.- np children. let us not love in word or speech, but in deed and iii trllth."

At this moment the bearing of ms on the appeal for the Com- .v-irilty Chest strikes us. Here is me of the most comprehensive plans for practical ministry to actual need that has ever been put brfnre the Christian public. There may not be examples of dramatic sacrifice of life on behalf of thc viiderprlvileged, but there are many, many examples of the far more difficult sacrifice-life-long irlf-giving in tireless ministry to he sufferers and needy of the ili'"II'

we were amazed i.he other day -1 the proportion of the fund that is set apart for children-many of them pathetic little sufferers de- med the activities that children .ve, and others crippled in char- Zrlcr by their circumstances and oi the way to delinquency.

O O I

The forms of service supported or this fund are too numerous to mention. but all of them are led hr trained experts giving them- sclveil to serve their fellows on the highest plane. One is often dis- muraged at the number of persons rho have abundance to spend on their own luxuries but nothing for philanthropy. but this does not lessen the obligation of those who have the heart to help and count ll a privilege and opportunity.

There is an aspect for this call for help more important still-the gift is the symbol of the devotion of the giver. Once St. Paul was rritlng about some poor people r. hose glviiig surpamed his ex- pectations, and added: "And this, not as we expected. but first they rave themselves to the Lord and in us by the will of God."

A contribution to the support of A good cause can never be a sub- :il!f.lII.e for personal service. Christ depends chiefly on persons for thc promotionof I-Iis cause. There is need of' money. but I11 thit- money can do is support persons who give full-time service in the cause of God and humanity. Those leaders are indispensable, but they need followers. The work of Christ's Kingdom must be done chiefly by volunteers.

I 0 C

one cannot look at any of these departments of social or religious ministry without noticing the cry- in need for more helpers. The love of God in human hearts ex- hresscs itself in serving men; it is His will and the promptinga of His spirit that we carry out in

not live in vital union with the Son of God who went about doing good. healing all manner of sick- ness and bearing on his heart men's burdens. without having our own hearts kindled by the flame of His devotion.

The Christian who will by study and experiment equip himself for some form of Christian work and then put himself into it with en- thusiasm and purpose is one of the most valuable assets of the church and Kingdom of God. Now, to give money to a cause and then assume that we are thereby ab- solved from all further responsi- bility is to mistake entirely Christ's will for His followers. He goes forward to the conquest of the world surrounded by those who have caught the spirit which drove Him to the Cross.

In the meantime. here is this appeal to meet a need and pro- vlde for social activities which in- crease with the years. Opportuni- ties so challenging that. they daz- zle the imagination open before our leaders daily. and many doors cannot be entered because of the lack of means. In a time of abounding prosperity T o r o n to should give what is asked. and al- so go far beyond it. In the words of the old song:

"Let's put our shoulders to the

wheel

And do our share of lifting"

MARITIME BUSINESS - The Business Review of the Bank of Montreal for October says: In the Marltimes retail trade gener- ally was about equal to last month and compared fairly well with last year. However, buying resistance is still evident in some lines and there has been no appreciable im- provement in sales of automobiles and electrical appliances during the month. Most. wholesalers report. volume up slightly over a year ago but hardware dealers report a further decline, chiefly in building materials. Collections are fairly well paid. Cotton mills continue to operate on a reduced scale; woollen mills and foundries are operating at capacity. The bar- vesting of potatoes is well under way. The New Brunswick potato ciop is estimated down about 30?; from last year and. with a sub- stantial drop in United States pro- duction, prices have risen sharply during the month to around 33 a barrel as compared with 90 cents a year ago. The Annapolis Valley apple crop is small and little ex- porting is expected. West Indies demand for salt fish continues drm with prices steady. Labour rela- tions in the coal and steel industry are strained although the men have returned to work and slow- downs have eased.

VI-3'5 F-AI-LY. - St. James I-Iall,

Allied occupation personnel scour- ing Germany for Nazi loot during the last five years have been keep- ing an alert eye for some of King George's property. too. Indeed. a handsome reward awaits anyone able to locate certain objects miss- ing from the royal dinner service for about 200 years.

The articles include valuable gold dishes and dish covers taken to Germany by George II, but which disappeared during his visit. Beau- tifully fashloned and exquisitely engraved, they would be valuable additions to the already priceless dinner service used on state occa- sions at Buckingham Palace.

This collection of gold plate is so unique that much of it is never used today, but the most entran- cing pieces are displayed on side- tables at State banquets and oth- er important royal functions. some estimates put the present-day in- trlnsic value of the collection at more than f:10ll,000. but the his- tory and associations of the ob- jects glves them a value which cannot be expressed in cash.

0 I C

. They include not only gold meat 'dishes, tureens, and fruit and cof- fee services, but also wonderful gold vases and candelabra. These last-named alone are worth a small fortune. being nearly 4 feet high and made of solid gold.

The complete dinner service comprises more than 100 dishes and covers. each a superb example of the goldsmltlfs craft, and some of them have had a remarkable history.

A number of the articles date from Tudor times, and graced the table of the nrst Queen Elizabeth. Tradition says that certain others were salvaged from Armada ships wrecked off Britain's shores in 1588.

Almost equally valuable are the ones used by Charles II during his exile, and which were brought back to England at the Restora- tion. There are also splendid pieces of plate hidden for the same mon- arch by Royalist sympathizersdur- ing the Commonwealth, though discovery of such royal property in their homes by the Rouiidlieads would probably have,cost them their lives.

One article of outstanding inter- est. is a huge salt-cellar used by Queen Elizabeth Tudor. Built in two tiers and standing on an orn- ate pedestal, it towers two feet above the table. At the top a richly decorated canopy on three beautifully finished supports adds a final, enchanting touch to an ob- ject totally unlike any other salt- ccllar in the world.

Research promoted by the late King George V established that this immensely valuable article was in regular use before Armada days. It probably graced the royal table when Queen Elizabeth entertained Drake and his fellow "sea dogs" in celebration of their victory over the Spaniards.

Windsor Castle as well as Buck- ingham Palace sometimes sees this unmatched collection of plate. It is occasionally sent there for use or display at dinners. attended by specially honoured guests.

This procedure is a reversal of the one followed in Victorian days. for at that time the royal gold plate was always housed at Wind- sor and brought to London when- ever a banquet or state dinner party was to be held at Bucking- ham Palace. In fact, the collec- tion is still officially known as the Windsor Gold Plate. though it is now kept at the King's London home.

The change was considered ad- visable in order to avoid the risks entailed in transferring the plate to and from the Metropolis, when Buckingham Palace began to sup- plant Windsor Castle as the main centre for State functions. Dur- ing the war. however, the collec- tion was again stored at Windsor in a secret strongroom safe from bombing.

I O I

Its great value necessitates spec- ial precautions to keep it in per- fect. condition. Scratches on such nnely engraved articles would im-
