Mellor The Lions Club at its regular meeting Mon., Sept. 9th, heard a striking address by guest speak- er J. J. Mellor, Orono. Based on ethics in human conduct it was in fact a powerful sermon that embraced compelling illustrations in the nature of engraved stones '~orming the foundations for a ~uperstructure in an - enduring building; the parallel being the fou&tions of human character a d1wonduct. Members listened ihclose attention as the speak- ~r evalued and assessed nine pVoints as foundation for the hu- man superstructure. Joe Mellor needs no introduc- tion to any Durham county aud- ience, said Lion Stu James, but he recapitulated some of the offi- cës held by this self-cônfessed ".chore-boy" of Orono. Mr. Mellor is Clerk of Clarke Township; sec- retary, County Federation of Ag- riculture; secretary local Sehool Area; Scoutmaster .Orono *Cubs and Scouts; veteran of War 1, in Reserve Army 5 1/2 years in War 2, and was employed by War Fin- ance Committee speaking across Ontario in Victory Bond drives, and he fils in as lay-preacher when ministers are on vacation. It was this pulpit pinch-hitting that inspiredMr. Mellor to bring his message to Lions. Two m~in- isters argued with him on ethics of his sermon, but with Welsh persistence he held his ground and now gave Lions opportunity of judging the merits of his dis- course. His conception of pre- OU/R SERVICE MUST BE, because that's a tradition with this company. MUST BE, because that's what you expect when you drive in here. MUST BE, because that 's a condition on which we have hired every member of our service-with-a-smile staff.

Mills after their marriage in the Evan- gelistic Tabernacle, August 24, 1946. The bride is the former, Elizabeth Ann May (Betty) Spen- cer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Spencer. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Mills, Oshawa. After their wedding trip to the north the young couple took up residence in London, On- tario. senting a layman 's view, came from 'correspondence with his sis- ter in the old country, whom he had not seen since 1899. She, having heard of his speaking in public, said: "You have your mo- ther's emotional soul; adhere to I k The Quality Tea ORANGE PEKOE Guided in this he conceived his message which, stated briefly is "Be a Builder." Each should con- sider his responsibilties as a build- er. The course of one's conduct in if e would determine whether it would be one of hope and faith 'or of fear, doubt and despair. How to find joy and success no matter how humble, was suggest- ed in the illustrations aptly pre- sented as foundation stones in- scribed with uplifting resolutions. These were the essential founda- tions: 1. Inscribe on this first stone a resolution to develop a strong body. While this was denied many it was an attribute leading to sound minds and the capacity for helping the less fortunate and was in accord with Biblical teach- ings. 2. Carved on thts stone was the right for everyone to a chance at honorable occupation and its corrollary that everyone should be an honorable employee. This was basic to good citizenship for there was negation and hopeless- ness in standing on street corners looking for work and hoping it coulci not be found. 3. Inscribe here the resolution to take an active part in ail wor- thy community endeavors. De- velop a public conscience. The speaker told how many shied away from these responsibilities through fear of unreasoned pub- lic criticisms. But in ahl ages there was a place for the best men whose leadership was need- ed in the divine scheme of pro- gress. 4. Erect a stone dedicated to dlean mineds. The speaker in- stanced the uselessness of swear- ing. It won nothing but pity and dîsapproval. He could under- stand other lapses against public morals that were made for gain but brought a reward of punish- ment. But dlean minds meant dlean lives. 5. Engrave this stone to re- member the poor. Give to those in need even if the undeserving sometimes benefitted for to miss one in dire need was to fail in the great lesson left by the Son of God. 6. Visit the sick was an inscrip- tion ail too frequently forgotten. Too few sought the causes back of the suffering endured by 50 many in mmnd and body. This. admonition was one outstanding in the example of the Creator. 7. Take care of the aged was the next stone. Venerate and com- fort those who have builded be- fore us for our comfort and hap- piness. Remember them in our strength and in their decline. Here is another lesson from the Bible. 8. Develop a spirit of tolerance. Inscribe on this stone the resolu- tion to respect the opinions ol others even when we diff er in pol*tics, religion, race and social sta tus. Everyone can become an aristocrat in this sphere by realiz- ation of the homely adage: "A man's a man for a' that." 9. Above ail the inscribed stones place this shining one: "Let us Forgive." Mr. Mellor closed with a moving peroration on the - greatness of the qualities of the individual who truly and reso- lutely embraced and applied this divine doctrine of forgiveness. This was a cornerstone in human understanding and ultimate hap- piness. The entire discourse was :based upon Biblical teachings so familiar yet so often forgotten. Thanked by Hap Palmer, the speaker was accorded applause in an unusual degree. President Ross Stevens express- ~ed a welcomne to the only visitor, SRalph Carruthers, New York City. Business included plans for She lping the Community Carnival in Memorial Park, September 25.
