McLean, Former Pastor, Gave In- spiring Messages * Fifty-three years ago Whitby Bap- tist Church - <3 organized, with the late' Rev. John Craig, for over forty years .a missionary in India, as its pastor. The event was suitably mark- on Sunday when at both anniversary services, large 'congregations were in attendance. The Rev. George A. McLean, of Danforth Avenue Baptist Church, a former pastor of the local church for six years, was the special preacher for 'the day, and he brought to his former congregation two inspiring messages as well as congratulations on past achievements of the church and good wishes for the future. Not ofily was the day specially observed in the church, bu: 'also in the Sun- day 'School which assembled in open session prior to the morning service to listen to a Rally Day address by Mr. A. W. Bealle. The Sunday School scholars, teachers and parents were out in large numbers, ; Speaking at the morning service Rev. Mr. McLean recalled that it was nineteen years ago that he first preached in Whitby Baptist Church --a church in which he had spent six happy years of his ministry, and one whose progress he had followed year after year. ™e paid a tribute to the present pastor, Rev. T. F. Best, who had been for many years in the Mas- ter's. service in various fields, and whose ministry had been attended with great spiritual and temporal success, Rev. McLean stated that he was pleased to hear that the church was in a good financial condition, The morning message was based on the Apostle John's revelation of the seven churches of Asia, and of the sevén golden candlesticks. By way of explanation the minister stated that the figure seven in this case was used because it was the perfect number, because as a matter of fact there were more than seven churches in Asia at that time. John's vision, and the message given to him by the angel, applied to all churches of that time, and also to the chur- ches to today. It was a message of the need of spiritual awakening, for the holding fast of the good works of charity, service, faith and patience which they possessed, and for a great er zeal for Christ's cause everywhere. The successful church was the spir- itual church--the church where the members were true Christians and whose zeal led them to undertake cheerfully and willingly tasks for the be ived at the Telephone i The seven golden and re- splendent candlesticks with Christ the First and the Last, in the midst, in John's yision on the Island of Pat- most were symbolic of what the church of that time and of today might become. A church with Christ in the mi¥st was a powerful, spiritual church, . ; The Evening Service Character was te theme of the sermon preached at the evening ser- vice by the Rev. Mr, McLean. In choosing the most perfect character of the Bible, otitside of Jesus Chris! Rev. McLean cla'med that Joseph had the characteristics which made him a perfect man in his estimation, Briefly the speaker outlined the his- tory of Joseph's life from the time of his childhood until he became a ruler of Egypt and Pharoah's right hand man. In enquiring into' the reasons for Joseph's outstanding character, Rev. MacLean claimed that he was not the result of Evolution, environ- ment, intellectual ability or a freak of nature, but that it was because the spirit of God had entered into' his soul, To prove this the speaker re- minded the congregation of the words of Joseph before he interpret ed the dreams, when he stated that it was not he himself but through 'God's grace. In concluding 'the speaker impressed upon the congre- gation the fact that if any man were to possess good character he must open up his heart and let he. Spirit of God enter in. Special Music The services of the evening were featured by special music by the church choir who sang two splendid anthems in the morning and two more at night. Mrs. Fischer of Osh- awa, a talented soprano soloist, ren- dered the Prodigal Son at the even- ing service. Rev. McLean was loud in his praise of the music of the day and expressed great pleasure at meet- ing many of the members who had, been in attendance during the time which he had ministered at the local church, a ---- R.

BOWMANVILLE WON FIRST RUGBY GAME Defeated Port Hope by 10 to 2 on the Latter's Ground Bowmanville High school won their first game in the Intercollegiate Rugs by League against Port Hope in the Town park at the latter place on Saturday afternoon. The large mar- gin by which they were the victors showed the possibilities of the home team winning the league again this 8 | having scored all ten points. Comrades' Sniart, Anderson and Wil-.|- gear, The "score was 10 to 2, with unc Williams, the big yerformer, e Bowmanyille line wag exceptionally strong but until the middle of the second period there was no score when Williams made a touch down. The third period, though the most exciting of the game, was also score- ess, In the fourth Williams again show- cd his mettle and added five more to the count, Bowmanville had the better of the game throughout, but Port Hope made a great effort with out avail. The latter's back field showed great style and but for that department they would have received a much bigger beating, A fair crowd watched the game and were well re- paid for their support. Alan Camp- bell, of Bowmanville, was the refer- ce. The Bowmanville line up was as follows: Mitchel, Butler, Morris, J. Vanstone, J. Minore, K. Osborne, Ingram, H. Slemon, H. Colmer, D. Williams, L.

SOCCER TITLE IS DECIDED AT LAST Bowmanville Defeated Enni- skillen by Only Goal of Game Bowmanville beat Enniskillen at Leskard on Saturday by a score of one to nothing in the finals of the Darlington Football League. The game was one of the most keenly contested that has been seen for a considerable time and there was a large representation of supporters from both Bowmanville and Ennis- killen, This was the fourth time that the final had been played, the three times previous being no score. Bowmanville won the toss and chose to kick to the north. The first few minutes the ball went from one end of he field to the other and at the end of twenty minutes real snap- py play Williams of Bowmanville, scored from a pass sent from the left wing by Simpson. Enniskillen then redoubled their efforts and for the remaining ten minutes of the first half they had the game in their hands but failed to score Their shooting was wide but their forward line work showed some fine combination which kept the ball in the proximity of the Bowmanville goal mouth till the whistle sounded the half time. The second half started slow with Enniskillen having a little the bet- ter of the play and not ull a fine save by Hockett the Bowmanville goal tender causgd some anxiety to Bowmanville suppdrters did the game take on a faster gait. Enniskillen then became very determined to score and the game got faster as the final whistle drew nearer. The ball was in front of the Bowmanville goal mouth most of the time but the. strength of he latter's defence prevented an score by Enniskillen, In the last three minutes Bowman- ville raced the ball to the other end but failed to score and the final whistle blew with both teams going strong in the centre of the field. ST. JOHN'S CHURG HARVEST FESTIVAL The Harvest Thanksgiving services at St. John's Anglican church yes- terday were attended by large con- cregations at both services, The church was decorated with innumer- able varieties of fruits and vegetables and at the entrance to each pew a bouquet of flowers added to the beauty of the general scheme. In all the - windows products of. .ihe farm and garden were tastefully arranged and sheaves of corn and ers of fall blooms surrounded the altar, Spe- cial music was used in both' servi- ces with Mrs. John Gunn at the organ and the choir in the chancel full. At thc evening devotion the choir sang with great feeling the anthem "Ye Shall Dwell jn the Lord." Hymns appropriate for the occasion were also sang. The rector, the Rev. R. J, Shires, | preached at all services and in; the evening gave a very inspiring ad- dress from the text "While - the earth remaineth seed time and har- vest shall not cease." "This state- ment," he said, "was a glimpse at the anture of God" He marveled at the faith that people in general had in the divine person and told of how long before history was recorded and before the Bible was brought. fo its present state the faith of a man who had survived the flood had made the statement that he had chosen for his text. His listeners were remind. ed of what the speaker called the rule of life, "That which ye sow that shall ye also reap" 'and the truth of this maxim had been established throughout the centuries, He stress- ed the lack of gratefullness and thanks for the spiritual favors re- ceived in life and thought that the present generation took too much for granted. People were. ready enough to give thanks for material gifts but the ' spiritual 'favors seemed to be forgotten; "I beg you to. make your thanksgiving real," and spend miore labor on the spiritual side of life and a little less on profits and pleasure, In conclusion he exhorted his bear- ers to remember that "True thanks- giving was thank-living."

The speaker first dealt with the schools which were being conductea by the church and told of the gro- gres being made in educating many of the native children. One school had been visited where over a thousands girls received instruc. tion in a room no larger than the body of the church. With regard to the hospitals, Mrs. Armstrong claimed that many had been established by the church and that a tremendous work was being carried on. Native doctors were being trained while hundreds of natives were being cured of vari- ous ills: and diseases and went home to their friends to tell them of the white man's miracles and his God. The speaker said that al- though the work being accomplish- ed was extensive there was still a tremendous need for many more doctors, nurses, teachers and build- ings. In dealing with the mission work being carried on Mrs, Armstrong informed the people that although a fine task was being accomplish ed many millions of people still re- mained to be evangelized, while a vast territory remained untouched. The speaker referred to the defence of Lucknow and the sacrifice of 'he British soldiers and inhabitants during the seige.
