HERREN SÄGER
människobarn, säg till dem. Du är ett land, som icke liver renat, icke varder sköljt ■v regn på vredens dag.
De profeter, sorn där finnas, hava sammansvurit sig och blivit såsom rytande, rovgiriga lejon,; de äta upp själar, de riva till sig gods och dyrbarheter och ^göra många till änkor därinne.
Prästerna där våldföra min lag och ohelga mina heliga ting; de göra ingen åtskillnad mellan heligt och oheligt och undervisa icke om skillnaden mellan rent och orent. De tillsluta sina ögon för mina sabbater, och så bliver jag ohelgad mitt ibland dem.
Furstarna därinne äro såsom rovgiriga vargar; de utgjuta blpd och förgöra själar för att skaffa sig vinning.
De profeter, som de hava, tjäna dem såsom vitmenare; de skåda åt dem falska profetsyner och spå åt dem lögnaktiga spådomar; de säga': "Så säger Herren, Herren,” och det fastän Herren icke har talat.

A Visit to Saskatchewan
By
Rev. Nels H. Norbeck, Pastor of the First Swedish Lutheran Church, Vancouver, and Immanuel Lutheran, New Westminster
"How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood". That, my dear frien ds, expresses my sentiments, ex en though I could not sing it for you to save my life. Of me, alas, the words of Charles Lamb are pathetically true; "Sen-timentally I am disposed to har-mony; but organically I am in-capable of a tune. Come with me to the Goat Ranch some time and hear me try to sing “When you and 1 were Young Maggie ”, and you will unreservedly grant me the right to the last part of that statement!
1 just returned from the twen-tieth visit to my parental home
• since I left it twenty pears ago. i The familiar scenes have if any-
; thing become dearer with the pas-• sing years. In the centre of those scenes stands my mother.
Brother John and a nephew, Clarence Pearson met me at the station in Broadview. In a short while we had traversed the eighl miles to mother‘s home. We
youth 1 attended Sunday School and was confirmed. Many of the original settlers still remain, and occupied special places of honor during the celebration. Dr. C. E. Hoffsten from the Zion Lutheran Church in Winnipeg gave the fes-tive address. It was a blessed ex-peiience. My fancy took wings. I saw the temple in which we met take shape. 1 saw those hardy pioneers, even before they had adequate shelters for themselves, laborously hauling logs up the steep hills of the QuAppelle. cut in the valley below. Across the trackless miles they are hauled and then shaped into the sanctu-ary that has served the commu-nity these forty-five years. And 1 asked myself, "what made them do that?” The question was an-swered in my own mind at that service as the words of Jesus were read, "1 will build my Church". From the human angle the ques-

bed-side of one of those pioneers . who had participated in the con-struction of that church, but now 1
about 96 years old, bed-ridden | and nearly blind, was not able to attend. In his presence 1 bowed my head in prayer. 1 thanked God that it was given us His children here below to lift our eyes from earth to heaven, and the old pioneer interjected, "Yes, God be thanked! That is what we need!”
Then, too, 1 had the pleasure of preaching in the churches of Stockholm and Dubuc, where Rev. Herman Anderson is doing a splendid and feithful work. Much could be said about that, i and about the many old-timers 1 was priviliged to see again, but my letter is already too long. Let it suffice to say, that these scenes of my childhood, coupled with the usual fishing trips to Round Lake, nestling in the beautiful QuAppelle Valley, has added

ascend the hill on which the house stands, and swing around the cor-ner of the house and the car comes to a stop behind the kitch-en door. My eyes tum involun-j tarily toward the door, and lo, ! the old familiar scene is enacted i again. The door swings slowly i inward, and through the opening mother appears, greyer, more i stooped than the last time, but it is mother with the same welcom-ing smile. And she says trem-blingly, "1 am so glad to see you. It would have seemed so stränge if you had not come this year as you always do. 1 chide her something like this:	Oh, mo-
ther, you know that you have so many sons and grandchildren living right around you, that you wouldn’t miss me." Tears well up in her eyes, and she answers: "You are all just as dear to me.

children, and yet there is room in his heart for everyone. 1 hear the voice of God speaking through my mother, "You are all just as dear to me." "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. And there is joy among the ängels of God over every single soul that responds to that love.
On the very day of my arrival 1 was privileged to attend the church community picnic. The church-minded and eommunity-minded are there, and that in-cludes almost all. Only a few are too busy to come out and shake hands with their neighbors and help a good cause along. Pastor Solomonson is there. His face beams upon his flock. He has shepherded them for twelve years —he is acquainted with their joys and sorrows. Upon the arms of ! prayer he has brought them singly and collectively before the throne | of grace. It makes him happy to see his people happy.
There were games and races for all, and nearly all participated. j Win or lose matters not so much. Their chief concern is to be good sports, and by seeking the other s happiness they multiply their own. The very ice eream, which was served in such abundance , typifies the spirit that prevails,— made from the eream pooled from their own cows, and their sugar rations as well, and hours i of labor contributed towards its
Arbetsgivare och postkontor ha ombetts att på framträdande plats uppsätta den officiella tabel-1 e n på skatteavdrag (Table of Tax Deduc-tions).
Formulären TD-I kunna fås av Er arbetsgivare, på postkontor eller det lokala skattekontoret (ln-come Tax Office).
Under krigets fjärde år kommer Canada att behöva nära fyra billioner dollar. Detta motsvarar nästan $350 från varje man, kvinna och barn i landet.
Även med den högsta inkomstskatt i historien kommer endast 52% av de pengar Canada behöver att uppbringas genom beskattning. Ä tc/stoden måste upplånas genom krigssparmärken-, certifikat och krigs-obligationer (Victory Bonds). ■
Med början under första avlöningsperioden i september, representerande allenast löner för september, Är Eder arbetsgivare skyldig enligt lag att avdraga Er inkomstskatt från Eder avlöning och punktligt sanda det txll guvemementet Var och en betalar sin del alltefter som tiden går.
Det kommer att bli hårt.. • men inte för hårt! Här är några goda sidor:
1.	Ni kommer att betala alltefter som Ni förtjänar och slipper sålunda att betala en stor engångssumma nästa år.
2.	Försvarsskatten (National Öefence Tax).
•vilken redan avdragits löningarna under de första åtta månaderna av året, har tagits med i tabellen på skatteavdrag (Table of Tax De-duetions).
3.	Ehuru inkomstskatten visar en stark ökning över förra året, är en avsevärd del av denna ökning i verkligheten en besparing, som återbetalas till Er med ränta efter kriget.
4.	De pengar Ni betalar i livförsäkringspremier, annuiteter, avbetalningar å Ert hem. eller till pensionsfond kunna avdragas (upptill ett visst maximum) från den del av inkomstskatten som utgör den obligatoriska besparingen.
Med mindre Ni är ogift, utan beroende, och icke gör några sådana betalningar som åberopats i paragraf 4 härovan skulle Ni ifylla Form TD-I och inlämna hos Er arbetsgivare. 1 annat fall kan det hända att Ni icke tiDer-kännes de avdrag vartill Ni är berättigad. DRÖJ ICKE. Inlämna Form TD-1 has Er arbetsgivare genast, så Ni får full avräkning från början.
