The visitors fought" back gamely but seemed to be overcome by the smooth passing of the local squad. lt was also noted that the local team are guarding their own net with more proficiency, so that. no one is left loose around the net. The greatest improvement, how- ever. was that elusive finesse a- round the opponents goal by which scores are made. The coach. Mr. Doug MacGowan, is to be com- mended in making such a vast improvement in his squad. and the local fans are hoping to see the coveted Taylor's Trophy in Mont- ague this year. Although the lea- gue got underway at a late date. the teams hope to be able to play two sections before the playoffs. Summary: l-‘irst. Period 1—Montague, E. Carver, (l-I. Power) 2—Montague. P. (H.

Indians, who have hoard rumors of the establish- ment of a floor price for ranch mink, are against it. Such a price would permit the ranchers to sell any amount with- out loss and the sales would ad- versely affect the wild fur market, the Indians claim. Their stand was announced at a recent meeting of Indian chiefs, representing tribes at. The Pas, Moose Lake, Cedar Lake, Nelson House and Pukatawagaan, with representatives of the Indian Af- fairs Branch. ‘ The meeting followed the l-‘ur Advisory Board meeting here at which the Manitoba Government reviewed the annual fur program and plans for the ecming year. The board meeting was told that wild mink are on the upswing af- ter a bad cycle and trapper-s antici- pate a good crop this yearn Last year. 958 mink were taken in the muskrat marshes around The Pas for an average price of $28 First indication that Canadian wild mink were making a. comeback was seen last spring in the York fact- ory Shumattawe areas of Northern Manitoba.

Landry, Albert Altkell. "I'l- Bflfitl Following is the text of a time- ly sermon delivered on Sunday last by Rev. William T. Mercer, pastor of Mt. Stewart and Bristol United Churches: Malt. II: 1-24. Mark 6: ll, “It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorr- .hB, in the day of judgment than for that city." Matt. II: 23, 2i, “And. i110“. Capernaum, which are exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom. it. would have remained until this day. “But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judg- ment, than for thee." Subject: “What does Sodom and Gomorrha Mean To Us?" No historian, other than the Biblical writer, can tell us any- thing about the supposed ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrha. It is thought they lie buried beneath the water of the Dead Sea — their remains buried by the lllld and debris brought by the Jordon river from its banks and from the Sea of Galilee, and their secrets pre- served in the thick brine. Who knows, the Jews may some day drain the Dead Sea. to liberate an inheritance of well-preserved information. It is thought that the Phoenic- ian people were the descendants of those who fled from parts sur- rounding Sodom and Gomorrha when these cities were destroyed. The Phoenlcians were skilled peo- ple in the arts and shipbuilding, and are regarded as having been the inventors of alphabetic writ- ing which might have been due to their experiences brought from Sodom and Gomorrha. It seems probable that the people of Sodom and Gomorrha were progressive, successful and highly civilized peo- ple until the time of their doom. In our Bible there are many references to these cities, and it would appear that they were sit- uated with five other cities at the North end of the Dead Sea, and were in existence when Abram lived 1n Canaan about 2061 B. C. Sodom and Gomorrha are de- scribed as being wicked, According to Genesis 18:20 and Romans 9:29, bolh were types of impiety and wickedness. Tlheir wickedness be- came proverbial and we find re- ferences to them in Deut 32: 3'1, Isaiah I: fr, l0, Jeremiah 23: l4. These two cities, let us say, at the northern extremity of the Dead sea, formed the metropolis, or centre of trade, for the sur- rounding places and people. You will remember that Lot decided to make his hcme there, to his fu- turc sorrow. Indeed anyone who pil/olics his tent. in a Sodom of conniving and dissipation will ‘sooner or later meet. sorrow. l Warnings Unhceded There were no churches in those cities, but instead there were temples, In some of them worship was mere formality. a matter of ritual or the repetition of mem- orized Plcayers. People went to them because it was generally re- gardecl as the correct thing to do. Some of the priests were sincere, but had little chance to help the people overcome the prevaleht evils. They had no Christian laws W hell) them. but they had a sense of right and wrong; but the abettors of evil and some of the aristocrats paid no attention to the kill-joy persons. The cities had their gambling ‘houses and palaces for playing .games where they sipped beer. ‘There were located at the rivet- cnd of the Street. of the Bazaars. gLater when the area. became s. Iplace of ill-repute they moved to 1a more respectable part of the ‘street. The operators were respegt. able men: for they contributed to the charities and helped g1. notice city programs. The priest and some business people observed that many activi- ties were debasing the character of the people and objected, but they were overruled by those who pointed out that it was the only means to get money to keep things 801118. 'I‘hc better people question- ed the kambling and drinking, and the traffic in connection with houses of ill-fame, but-even some of those were led to believe that if it was good for business there could be nothing very wrong with it. The economy of the society led to many questionable entangle- ments. ft was noted that if men drank enough beer they were inclined to spend money recklessly; therefore "It? encouraged the sale of beer as a worthy enterprise. Ithts made for a lot of unwanted prob- lems including immoral acts. but after all it was the price one had to pay for increased business. Things became very bad and the Temple priests began preach- ing against the evils. but. the gamblers told the solicitors that they could not finance sport and Rive to charity if their occupations were jeopardized by preachers. and the preachers were asked i-o resign, or they were made very uncomfortable; however, people outside the cities discovered that conditions were bad, and they avoided the gltleg g p99; mm” for business and a. bed environ. merit for their children. The authorities, possibly the Chamber of Commerce. covered up the evils without removing theta until one evening strange visitors came to Lot's home.

The first film was a Eye Witness, it was followed by a film about how to gct rid of rats, the next was about Atoms. and how it is tested to cure cancer. followed by one on a day's journey with two canoemen, which was very entertaining, and the last film was on hometown paper, how it is edited and printed. All the films were very interesting. but they did nothing to offset the evils. The soul of a. community, city, province and nation is deter- mined by the active citizenship. Comparisons are sometimes 0d. ious; so, I leave it with you to make your own. Christ's Words We note, however, that Jesus speaking to a group of citizens of his day. said: "It would be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the judgment than for Capernaumg" for the people of Sodom and Gomorrha.did no‘. have l-Iim and the great message of love which l-fe revealed, but the people of Capernaum were offered this blessed help. I wonder how conditions of our own place and day would appear in the sight of Jesus. Would it be more tolerable for the people of Oapernaum than for us? You see, the people of Caper- naum knew only the dawn of the morning twilight compared with our illumination, They hm some dubious ideas about Jesus being a divine messenger, but. at the time they knew nothing about His Cross, Death, Resurrection and Ascension. They stood in the morning twilight, but you and I stand in the noonday blaze. It is not necessary for me to go into the details of gambling, the use of alcoholic beverages. social diseases and the questionable means of making gain. It ls suf- ficient to say that these things destroy character and lead to dis- tress. We want pleasure not. distress. and we want it for our children. If that is so, what are our activi- ties in the community? Are we setting good examples? Do we in our work and our leisure endeav- our to build good character by our examples? or, are we main- taining and abetting the river end of the Street of the Bazaars?
