CANADA FIRST
DEMOBILIZE
WINNIPEfJ. Canada, Lee. in. Plans
[ for the demobilization of Canada's
2X6,304 overseas troops tinder a sys
i tern intended to meet economic and in
| dustrial conditions have been com
! pleted and will be put into operation
when withdrawal of the forces is con
sented to by the high command.
After considering available shipping
facilities and rolling stock in Canada,
the imperial ministry of shipping and
the Canadian war board have con
clud that the rate of return can ap
proximate 20,001b men each month.
Close study of the military and econ
omic phases of demobilization re
sulted in a decision to first return men
whose trade classification showed im
mediate use for them in industry.
Preference is to lie given married men.
the order to return to be determined
by the length of time in overseas ser
vice. Then single men will be re
turned along tlie same general lines
Classification of Qie troops into oc
cupational groups by the Militin de
partment was deemed advisable to
meet the requirements of the labor
market in the various districts. To
return the men regardless of their
occupation in civil life and demands
of the labor market in tln-ir respective
districts would work a hardship upon
them as well as upon industry, the
officials decided.
Latest figures list 2X6,304 as the
number of Canadian troops overseas.
| An estimate of how these men will
tie distributed among the various prov
inces. based on the ratio of enlist
ment in each province, follows:
Ontario. 121.50(1; Quebec, .39.500;
New Brunswick. 12,500; Nova Scotia,
and Prince Edward Island. 15.500;
Manitoba, 33,500; Saskatchewan, IX,
500; Alfierta. 21.500; British Columbia,
25.500.
The problem of bringing back from
England tin- wives and families of
Canadian soldiers, estimated at 35,000
persons, has been placed with the do
I partment of immigration. They will
be returned to Canada as quickly as
I possible, as the government desires to
have the soldiers' homes re-established
before their arrival

"There ain't goln' to he no more

The soldiers, mopping the beads of

I His First Coming *
Preached by Rev. A. (1. Shrlver. pas
tor of the Presbyterian church. Cor
dovn. Excerpts from the first sermon
in the series on "His Second Coming."
Throughout Christendom laymen
and ministers are studying and preach
ing the second coming of Christ This
study of prophecy makes your Bible
a new bonk and your life happier !(
is our purpose to present sulTieient
scripture references to dispel any
doubts you may have in your mind
regat ling llis llrst coming If the
prophets foretold His llrst advent with
such marvelous accuracy they will
bring us word of llis second advent
with the same assurance of Its truth
fttliiess
The first hint we have of His coming
so planned by God In the distant eter
nities of the past is found in Gen.
3:15 - "And I will put enmity between;
thee and woman and between thy
seed and her seed; he shall bruise thv ^
head and thou shall bruise his heel."
Enmity between God gnd Satan with
Christ final victor. The manner nt
llis i oming is told in Isa 7.11 A
virgin shall conceive and bear a so

He enter Jerusalem its prophesied
Zeeh 9:9 "Rejoice. () daughter ot
Zion, behold thy king cometh unto
thee!" Was not He betrayed by t;
friend? Ps. 41:9 "Yea. mine own
familiar friend in whom I trusted, who
ate my bread, hath lifted his head,
against me.” (Judas.I His disciples
and friends forsook Him in the crisis j

22 16 IS "Tin y pierced his hands an '
his feet They parteil my garment
among them and on my vestments they j
cast lots."
We have selected a few of the ref j
en tices which clearly point out hov
'rue every prophecy foretold hundred?
and thousands of years before C.i.'i-i
came to earth was fulfilled in Hi * lit* j
while here to proclaim the plan of
salvation, the will and the plan ot
God for man. Each one was fulfilled
to the letter concerning His llrst com
ing, why should we doubt those pro. h
erics spoken regarding Ills second
coming? Pew men question the slate
menta of profane history, why doubt
Blbical history? Acts 1:11 "This
same Jesus, which is taken up from
you into heaven, shall so come in Ilk*
manner." Can we doubt the credibil
ity of the Scriptures, which speak of
His life from birth to ascension? It
depleted every step of the rejected,
suffering, crucified, risen and ascended
Savior. The hour He cometh no
man or angel knows hut we must so
live with Christ, as to be ready when
He returns for us. Phi. 14 19—"And
my God shall supply every need of
yours according to His riches in glory
