Thievery and hold-ups have be-.
come so common in New York City
that the officials have called upon the
people to rally and protect themselves
Il Is most remarkable condition Of
affairs that no person Is permitted to
have a revolver in his home unless he
has been specially authorized by the
government. This is in the nature. OF
a joke. The law-abiding citizen is put
at the mercy Of the lawless classes.
This Is caused by sending incompetent
men to the legislative bodies of the
city and State.

MAKE THEM MAKE GOOD

In many parts of the country the
American people have spoken again at
the polls, and II new grist of public
officials are coming into office. If
they keep only small proportion OF
their campaign promises they will
make history as no other officials have
ever done before.
Making promises comes easy to a
candidate 1t is part of the game.
Forgetting them comes quite as easy
to the elected official That. also, is
part of the game. But now that the
elections are over. and new officials
are entering upon their careers, the
public should be as prompt in remind
ing them of their promises rs they
were prolific in making them

USE YOUR BARGAIN EYE

4 merchant doesn't spend money
merely for the purpose Of seeing his
name in print He is too much of a
business man To part with his dollars
unless there is II good prospect of Sc
curing II legitimate return upon his
investment He doesn't advertise goods
that he can not recommend. because
he knows that such an imposition upon
the public in n country town would
soon put him out of business.
He doesn't gouge his customers. be-
cause he knows they would soon go
elsewhere and buy for less money
and that would mean an end TO him.
1t is reasonable to suppose, there

article that article is worth having
and the price is within reason. When
you buy from Il local merchant, that

Holy Spirit the Seal.

The sealing of the Spirit is the act
Of God, Who sets His stamp or seal
upon the lives of His believing people.
The Spirit himself is the seal and his
presence In the life marks the be-
lever as belonging to God. 4 seal

Epistle to Timothy. 2:19. we see that

having this seal, the Lord knoweth
them that are His. and let every one
that nameth the name OF Christ de-
part from iniquity." We may think
of this sealing then as having two In
scriptions, namely, ownership and ho-
illness. Against anything that may
mar or deface this seal, the believer
must carefully and prayerfully guard
himself. The seal Of God distin-
cuisines him fror all others and this
distinction, this mark of separation,
must be jealousy guarded.
Canon Bickersteth says: THE allu-
sion to the seal as pledge of pur-
chase would be peculiarly ineligible
