Well, why not?" was a chal- feng e issued on Sunday night by Rev. , Maxwell, pastor of St. An- | HR United church, Rev, Mr. Maxwell centred his ser- mon around the incident in Luke's gospel where a centurion came to rist and asked him to heal his slave, - That man was a soldier, he said, in an environment far from wholesome, yet of him Christ said, "I have not seen so great faith, no, not in Israel" Similarly, in many walks of life not thought conducive to moral uprightness, some of the nless we can take our religion into every phase of life, it.is not worth considering," the speaker de- clared, He added that unless 2 man's business was in and of itself sinful, the man might render an acceptable service to God, in any trade or pro- fession. It was high time, he said, that a man be tested by what he was, not by where he lived and what he from licentious Nazareth, and no matter what temptations a city may that was no excuse for anyone to the idea that sin was necessary for prosperity. The fault was not in the city, the school, or the business, but in the man--for no was tempted more than he was ie to ig vy declared Mr. Maxwell, In conclusion, the minister asked for more simple testimony and friend- that people tempted or dis- might be cheered v" the Christian folk folk of the city.

Daily Times Plaintiff Nullified When Poll Shows Three Opposed Mr. Justice Rose Dismissed the Jury and Entered a Verdict of Disagreement in Libel Action Brought By John J. Bell ORIGINAL VERDICT GAVE $25 DAMAGES Case Arose Out of Newspa- per Report of Flooding of the Oshawa Curling Rink on the Night of January 8 : (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar. 12.--A verdict of $25 damages for John J, Bell in a suit against the Oshawa Daily Times for alleged libel arising out of an article which appeared in the issue of The Times on January 9, in connection with the flooding of the sheet of ice on the Curling Rink on the night of January 8, by some person or persons unknown was nullified at the conclusion of the trial this forenoon, when Gore don Conant counsel for the defend~ ants asked for a polling of the jury, and found it had disagreed Although Mr, Justice Rose, the trial judge, in his charge to the jury told the latter to obtain a ma~ jority of ten out of the twelve, it was found that only nine were for the verdict while the other three were against, Jury Dismissed The jury wag dismissed, and a verdict of "disagreement' was en~ tered on the records. Both Mr, Conant and J. P, Mangan counsel for the plaintiff asked for a new trial when the poll of the jury had been completed, but the future course of the case has not yet been decided, Addresses to Jury Considerable time was Yak up with the counsels' addresses to the jury, which was followed by a most complete charge to that body by His Lordship, who stated that from evidence produced, all that Mr, Bell wanted was vindication of the fact that he might have been plac ed under misapprehension by the article in the paper, If then, this was all he desired, there was but one way to acquire it and that through the newspaper, The second article which appeared in the edi- tion of The Times on the tenth of January, seems to have complied with this desire, said His Lordship. Address For Defendant In his address to the jury, Gor- don Conant, the coungel for the Oshawa Daily Times, summed up for the benefit of the court the facts of the case, The words fn the article, said Mr. Conant, in the opinion of Mr. Bell, referred only to him, because he had been the only one let out by the management. Attention was drawn to a certain word In the heading which was pluralized, therefore showing that the susp!- cion was not attached to any one particular person, The article in question was re- ferred to in detail and explained by the counsel, The last paragraph, the one to which Mr, Bell especially objected was, in Mr. Conant's opin- ion merely historical data. Claims Apology Made Attention was drawn to the see- ond article which appeared in the issue of The Times on the day fol- lowing the first story, January 10. This article, gaid Mr. Conant was worth a great deal to 2 man, 2 pub- lic eulogising of a man's character through the press. Mr, Conant's address was follow- ed by J. P. Mangan's discussion of the circumstances in his summing up of affairs. Mr, Mangan stated he was atta~king, not the Oshawa Daily Times in relation to the pub- lishing of general news, but only to the article referred to in the case, before the court.
