Next Monday the people of Canada have the responsibility of electing a gov- ernment. Thisis a great privilege as well as a. responsibility, and the proper exer- ‘cise of free elections is the very founda- tion of our system of democracy. I It is the duty of every citizen to vote. .We hope the people of Canada next Mon- thty‘will show their appreciation of demo- mby going to the polls in large num- bers. We are confident that whatever happens in the rest of Canada there will be a large and representative vote in York County. The matter of choosing a government is important business and especially im- portant is the business of electing a nat- ional government which will have the res- ponsibility of dealing with the nations of the world in international affairs. World affairs are in a state of- tension and wise leadership is needed. The great objective of all Canadians is to establish a firm and a lasting peace so that our sons and daughters may never again face the horrors of a world war. Whatever their political views or affiliations Canadians in thisiflelection must give the most serious consideration to international affairs in the election of a government.

We suggest that every citizen think long and well before casting a vote which would deprive Canada and the world 0f the services of these two outstanding world statesmen. v ' The issues of the campaign have been presented to the people by the various pol- itical parties. Now the decision rests with the people. We urge that every citi- zen exercise calm and reasoned care in making a decision. We think the matter at this time is far too important to be in- fluenced by prejudice or partisanship. We do not think that any one party is all good, and another all had. We do not claim that one party is always right, and another always wrong. We suggest every voter carefully consider the record and performance of the parties and candi- dates seeking public support. As the 1953 election campaign comes to a close a calm and reasoned conclusion is that in this election. at this time the safe and sound vote is one for a return of the present government. Prime Minister St. Laurent is a lead- er of outstanding character and great sin- cerity. His government has a good rec- ord of clean, honest administration. The country is enjoying an era of unm'ecedent- ed prosperity and full employment. _ Go to the polls next Monday and vote. We think it is just sound abuse and good business to vote for a return of the gov- ernment under which we have prospered and done so well. Xi'VERiqA SMITH, Associate Editor /M!fllli‘ UDIT :UIIM .MICUL I By Dr. Archer Wallace | Translator’s Patience India is a land of many langu- ages, and the missionary, William Carey. soon saw that if many peo- ple were to be reached the Scrip- tures must be translated into the native tongues. Fortunately he had a perfect genius for learning languages. When he was cobbling shoes he learned six languages. When he first saw the curious- iooking Greek letters he walked six miles to ask a man in another village what language this might be. He walked to and fro to this village in order to learn this languâ€" age. He began to master first one Indian language. then another. unâ€" til ihe natives were amazed at his fluency. l-ie translated parts of the Scriptures into the natiVe tongues. This meant an amazing amount of work. In some cases he spent years before he succeeded in making a translation that satisfied him. Often he joined little children as they played in the streets, and as he listened to them he caught new words. Sometimes he went into the village schools and paid close attention as the little folk were being taught. After many years he had actually translated parts of the Bible into the follow- ing languages of India, Bengali. Oriya. Hindi. Sanscrit, Maghadi. Khasi, Brujbhasa. Kamouji. Kosali. Manipurl. Ooderjeypuri. Bhugetei, Mariwarl. Bikaneri. Bhatti. Har- aoti,Palpa, Kumanoi. Gurwhali. Nepalese. Marathi, Baluchi. Tel~ egu. Dorgri. Kashmuri, Mooltani, Sinah, Panjnlu, Konknni, Goor- jarati. Here are no less than thirty-four strange languages into which this painstaking man trans- lated the Scriptures in whole or in part. Often these Scriptures found their way into villages where no missionary has ever been, and yet the good seed was sown and the way prepared for the coming of the Gospel. Seventeen years after the first copy of the Bible in Bengali had left the press some christian missionaries arrived at a village far inland. They knew no mission- ary had ever been there before yet after the first service was over a native‘said: “This is not a new teaching for us. Not far from here there are villages where they have had the good news for a long time. They have given up their idols and they never lie, for they say it is against what their Book teaches. Come and see. “This man led the way and the missionaries followed to another village where the elders showed them a much-worn Bible kept in a wooden box. It was one of Carey’s first translations al- though how it got to that village no one remembered. Thus was the way prepared for the mission- aries. Carey needed all his patience and courage. for a disaster soon occurred which would have crush- ed the hope out of an ordinary man. A printingpress had’ been brought from England, and in spite of great difficulties. type for the various languages had been made. One day the building in which the printing-press and type foundry and where the type-setting and binding were done, caught fire. There was valuable stores of paper in the building and all manner of precious manuscripts in the type- Setting office. Carey was not in the building at the time, but the manager ordered the doors and windows closed so that there should not be any current of air. He climbed onto the roof and with the help of others began to pour water on the flames below until they seemed to be dying down. Then someone carelessly opened a door at the other end of the building and the fire burst forth and completely destroyed the building and everything in it. From across the river at Calcutta, Carey saw the destructive fire and as the lurid flames lit up the dark sky his heart sank when he thought of how the work of so many months was apparently in vain. However. it was not his way to remain long discouraged and so he set to Work again, and in a short time his printing-press was busier than ever. For more than twenty years after this Carey continued to send translations of the Scrip- tures all over India. He was a man of extraordinary patience.
