France needs workmen to fill the depleted ranks of her industrial workers and the North Africans make very excellent material for And the years these nen spend in France inevitably af- fool very greatly thelr whole atti. They begin to desive better homes and an escape fram the stagnation which marked thelr existence in their homelands And the French people have. very little color prejudice and that helps mwattors very. niuch. The North African invasion of Friynce seems 'on the whole to be a had thing nei. 'for France nor for North The Church World Wide| * The report of the "Institute of Social and Religious Besearch," of which Dr. John R, Mott is chair- man, has been published, It points out that in the United States there are 212 religious denominations, It explains, however, that 24 of them contain 91 per cent. of the total adult membership, That fs, there are 188 denomination which have an average membership of 7,000 each, If a young nation like the American Republic bds been busy multiplying sects, it is also true that sire has devoted immense sums of money for religious pur- poses, The above mentioned states that the buildings now in use by these denominations are valued at seven thousand millon dollars, The running expenses of these churches are annually eight hun- dred and forty million dollars, The country, as a whole, fs put In & fairly good light, when it is found that "every other person belongs to some church." Oregon and Montana are reported as having the poorest rate of membership aceording to population, whereas states lke New York, Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Louis- inna and Texas are high, * Ld Ld The Wesleyan Meihodist of Eng. land have just given a farewell to missionaries who are returning to their fields, and to 40 new re- cruits, They are described as being of the finest types of manhood and womanhood, fit for either football or tennis, and carrying many scholastic degrées which are hard to get. There was, to begin with, a very happy reunion at the Mission House, Lendon, followed by Holy Communion in the Mem- orinl Chapel, A mass meeting fol lowed at Kinsgway Hall, the great West London chureh, of which Rev. G, Goldhawk is pastor, Dr, Workham, president of the con- ference, gave the address, which was full of good cheer and affec- tion, On his right hand were seat- ed the young men and women who were koing out for the first time, and on his left were veterans and tested missionaries, A scene never fo be forgotten occurred when one of them, Rev. Henry Gulliford, with a record of more than B50 years in India, was greeted with love and honor by the vast as sembly. Three spoke for those re- turning, one of whom asked, "You won't let us down, will you?" Each of the recruits was given one minute, which was used to pronounce the name of the person and the field. Rev, A, McCrao of Belfast told them that *"mission- aries become either great saints or great failures." » id LJ The City of Rome, Italy, has in- creased very greatly in population since. the war. To provide for re ligious' needs of the new districts upwards of 25 new churches will be erected with the latest facili. ties for the development of parish life. To take charge of this work, Pope Pius XI, has appointed Car- dinal BSelvagglani, who for many Years was counected with the Apostolic" Delegation in Wash- ington, The Sixth National Eucharistic Congress has just been held In Omaha, Nebr, About 100,000 visitors were present, Including 32 leading prelates of the Catholle Church, The Apostolic Delegate, Rev. P, Fumasoni-Blond!, was at the head of the ecclesiastics, Al. though the 31st International Eucharistic Congress to be held in Dublin, Ireland, will not meet for over a year, the plans for it are being rapidly made, Every parish in that city and neighborhood is heing canvassed for billets, and funds are coming in from dona. tions by various societies and pub- lie institutions, Reservations have been requested for 5,000 visitors from the United States and 200 from Canada, besides great num- bers from Great Britain and the continent, . LJ . In the "Loss and Gain account" of the United Church of Canada, the death of Rev, Wm. T, Gunn must be entered. It is a heavy loss, which is felt by all the churches. Whether one looked at his manly, shining countenance, listened to his cheery voice and came under the spel! of his hope- ful ideas, or read the glowing words which sprang from his pen, there was one feeling, namely, that his winning: way was ever kaining new ground. A fine ex- ample of it was In St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Toronto, when a few months ago he was Present at the centenary celebra- tion, There was no visible evidence then of frailty about his body, and he had just gone slightly past 60 years, But such a burning soul, in a world with its great enthusiasms and burdens, wore down the bod to dust and ashes. His name wil live, Its fragrance will linger, His day's work was well done, He brought to the United Chureh of Canada a precious contribution of spirit from the former Gongrega- tional Church. Moreover, he gave to his Church a splendid Canadian impress, Ontario' specially: owned him, He was known as "David Gunn's boy" at Kenne. J] -. LJ + In Toronto there are two theo. logical colleges! in connection with the Church of England, The older Is Trinity University, which ocoy- bles large and beautiful grounds on Queen street west, The other 'is Whyelitfo 'College, associateq so long with Toronto University, and its students and ministers tu close touch with all the evangelical ohurches, Now they are situated in the region known as the college quarter, and on a street opposite THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1930 the Cit Churches Alcohol Field Secretary, Roya! and Character BY A, H, LYLW; Templars of Temperance When Horace Greeley was on his death bed, he summed up the most valuable thing in Jife thus, "Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings, those who cheer today will curse tomorrow, only one thing endures--character!' The World Within James Russell Lowell tells us that "after all, the kind of world one carries about in one's self is the important thing, and the world outside takes all its grace, color and value from that." Character building is the su- preme aim of the church, and every worthwhile educator labors to in- culeate into the minds of bis pupils the thoughts that the buflding of a noble character is the most worth- while achievement in life, ns The Soul Alcohol, through its narcotic ef- fect on the brain and nervous sys- tem, has done more to ruin charac- ter than any other one agency known to humanity. Moral and Booze is Not a Character Builder to each other. Time has not only spiritual progress is next to impos. sible so long as, & man is addicted to drink. Nothing more certainly deadens the soul and all higher and holler purposes in life. Sir James Crichton Browne, in "What we owe to Aleohol" says, "that it blurs the moral twinges," Undermines Integrity Dr. Courtney C. Weeks in his new book 'Alcohol and Human Life' points out that "Alcohol al- Hes itself only too easy with all things which undermine the moral and physical integrity of national life. It is still responsible for a vast amount of broken life, which can never be stated in any statisti cal form, Modern science is con. stantly revealing the danger of even small doses of alcohol--the. so-call ed physiological. dose, Is there really such a thing? For many of us the evidence accumu. Intes, until we hesitate to say that it is ever physiologically harmless," First Contact The social customs of today seem to call for the serving of alcoholic beverages such as wine, cocktails, and the like at many social funec- tions, Many hostesses feel that their tea or dance cannot be a success without these. We see our young people coming in contact with al- cohol for the first time at these functions, and not having the mora) courage to decline, are constantly becoming fits victims, Here is a young man, a fine, clean living fellow, who, under the enervating atmosphere of the ball- room fs persuaded to have (wo or three glasses of wine. He did not desire it, but others were drinking and be did not want to appear a prude, The effect of the sicobol 1s noticeable in his changed mental sttitude in a very short time, Nor- mally he was quite talkative and boisterous. He begins to chatter about things that he would never have mentioned otherwise, f Reduces Self-Control The dulling effect of the alcohol upon the higher nerve centers of hig brain reduces his self-control, and he is ready to fraternize with his worst enemy. In short, the a) cohol has put to sleep his higher faculties and thereby given full rein to his baser instincts and pro- bably before the night is over, he has fallen for some temptation that will have a blighting effect upon his whole future, filling his soul with regrets that will be a nightmare as long as he lives, You say the plc- ture is overdrawn! Not at all! Look around you and learn the truth for yourself, The Danger Period * What does the future hold for many like the young man referred to? Remorse---~discouragement-- more drink, Speaking of social drinking among the young, Sir J. Crichton Browne, M.D, F.RS, says, "Then it is, when so many ha- bits are formed, that the habit of some degree of dependence on al cohol may be contracted, and it is 2 noteworthy fact that in nearly ninety per cent. of cases of con firmed inebriety, the addiction to drink began between 12 and 25 years of age. 'This is the danger period. Nature And Nurture Character has been defined as the Joint product of nature and nur ture, Nature has given us the raw materials, and from these we must bufld the super-structurs, Home training, education, the church, our contact with men of high mora) caliber all these point the way to attain pleasure, happiness and sat- isfaction in life. Each of us must fashion his own character, If we avoid the well-known stumbling blocks, if we allow conscience to dictate our course, if we Aavold strong drink, which the Good Book says, "Is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby, is not wise," we will certainly build & character that will carry us high in the esteem of our fellows and will open the way for a life full of blessing to those whom we influence, and of lasting Joy and satisfaction to ourselves. A Moral Issue After all, the drink problem is a moral isue, and must be considered from that standpoint, The attri. butes that stand out in the life of any great man or woman are honor, integrity, truth and love. Has drink ever helped any man to cultivate these? Hillis says, "By his inner aspirations, man lives and builds The vision of conscience re- veals new possibilities of character, and these give duty .,.,., Thus unto man slowly building up his character comes the supreme ideal, when Jesus Christ stands forth ful. ly revealed in all His splendor." With this vision before our eyes, we pass on to you the opinion of Dr. Charles A, Marsh, "What is wanted is education of the public, showing not only that it is possible to do without alcohol, but that one is better without it, Better physi- cally and morally, Better able to face the strain of life, to shoulder life's burden and enjoy its true pleasures." * brought the bulldings almost to- gother but is bringing the sister institutions in ever closer fellow- ship, Recently the Alumni of Trin. ity attended two lectures in Wy cliffe, and their president, Rev. Dr, Blagrave, occupied the chair, In return, there was also a joint meeting in Trinity, when Rev. A. R. Beverley, president of Wy clifte's Alunfni, presided. The lec- turer on all these occasions was Bishop Seager of the Diocese of Ontario, whose subject was, "An Interpretation of the Recent Lam- beth Conference." LJ Nj LJ The Federal Council of Free Churches of England has just met at Baptist Church House London. It was a notable session because It had in mind another great con- ference which met in the same city, namely, the Anglicar Bishops at Lambeth, Dr. Charles Brown, the moderator, one of the ablest Baptist pastors of London, spoke for the majority of the council when he expressed disappointment over the decisions of the bishops and doubt about any hope of the successful negotiations between Anglicans and Free Churchmen over Church Union, It was buntly Stated that the sald bishops were more eager to welcome to thelr fold Orthodox Greek Church than great churches which are sharing with the Established Church in the religious and social life of the same homeland, It was stated that the membership of the Free Churches is now more than two million communicants, The other question discussed was the gen- oral subject, namely, "The Alleged Revival of Paganism in Thought and Morals." On the one side it was stated that "Ifere and now" seems to be the main thing, with neither belief in a fhatsona) God nor personal immortality, Dr, Loft. house, who was recently in Can- ada, questioned whether there was Any more paganiem in - England today than in Butler. .
