Sask Flour Mills Manager Talks on Elevator Grievances
G A Austin of the Saskatchewan Flour Mills testified before the Saskatchewan Elevator Commission. He defended elevator practices, questioned grounds for farmer charges about weighting and dockage, and argued competition keeps rates fair.

It Was a Time of Expectation Verses and Miracles
A sermon on Matthew chapter fourteen describes Jesus withdrawing to speak with the Father while the disciples toil at sea. It reflects on expectations of Elijah or the Messiah, Jesus’s authority over nature, Peter’s doubt and rescue, and the healing of the sick as crowds seek contact with Him. The piece ties earthly trials to heavenly deliverance and urges faith without fear.
