Present plans by the secessionists envisage a direct appeal to the Privy Council to have the area, both in Alberta and in the British Columbia block, made into a separate district, governed by its own council. The area affected comprises about 500 square miles of rich agricultural country from Smith (Alberta), about 100 miles north of Edmonton, to a square section of Peace River land jutting into British Columbia.

The district was carved from the Northwest Territories in 1905 when the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were Now public meetings are being held Seemingly symbolic of man's destiny labor and the protection of J1J3 possessions this impressive scene shows a steelworker hanging precariously from a girder of the partially completed Goldea Gate Bridge, while a majestic U. S. dreadnaught steams slowly by the lofty bridge span across San Francisco Bay. rpiIE council at Jerusalem de- cided that it was not necessary that the Gentile converts should be circumcised. All that was required of them was that they should fulfill the moral law.

The momentous nature of this decision can hardly be overemphasized. It meant that, in the first great issue that faced the church, the decision was for reality and not for form. It meant that the new religion was to be as broad as humanity in its scope, and not merely a new sect of Judaism. IT would be well if the church had always met similar issues with the same sanity of vision, and with the same largeness of view. Again and again through less wise decisions of churches and church leaders, things "too grievous to be borne" have been imposed upon new converts, things that had little to do with the fundamental matter of true character and loyalty to Christ Christians learn slowly to put first things first The history of the church is a history of elevating creeds, forms, practices, and sometimes prejudices to the place that only Christ should have in the Christian heart and mind and in the Christian fellowship.

International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Sept 13. Text: Acts Galatiana 1 COME of the gravest problems of the early church came with the first Gentile converts. These problems, apparently simple of solution, were difficult because the Jews had brought with them into their new faith in Jesus the faith and forms of Judaism. Paul did not think of himself as less a Jew because he was a follower of Jesus. On the contrary, he believed that, in accepting Jesus as the Messiah, ha was following out the teachings and prophecies of the religion in -which he had been trained.

he said that he worshiped the God of his Fathers, though it was In the way that his former associates called heresy. The most acute problem that confronted the church concerned the matter of circumcision. This was a rite that occupied much the same place in Judaism that baptism has occupied in the Christian church; and if we think of the Jewish converts as narrowminded and attaching undue importance to forms in asserting that the Gentile converts to Christianity should be circumcised, we need only imagine what would happen even today if someone proposed that baptism should not be insisted upon. gNo Bum Steer Here He's Tops' throughout the Peace Rivre district and a five-man committee is at pres ent studying autonomy plans.

"I want to here categorically as a thing I know for a fact that our British respirator is one hundred per cent protection against any gas that can be used in war." That the gas topic came up at the annual medical conclave shows how far the fear of horrible gas massacres in the next war has penetrated into the consciousness of this country. The medical men had before them a resolution calling on the medical professions of all countries to cooperate in obtaining the prohibition of the manufacture of gas.
