When He Spoke Third Time in Col- legiate Auditorium Last Night GREAT SINCERITY GRIPPED HEARERS Simple, Homely Language of Great Christian Work- er Painted 'Beautiful Pic- ture of Christ's'Love -- Over 1000' Attended Interdenominational Meeting Speaking for the third time in Oshawa yesterday Paul Rader, the distinguished evangelist, address- ed an audience of mearly a thou- sand persons in th® Assembly Halli of the Collegiate Institute during the evening, his appeal being a mgst forceful one addressed to the heart rather than to the mind, to the soul rather than to the reason. One time cowboy on the western plaing, boy preacher, heavyweight pugilist, no man or woman who was privileged to hear him but could help being reached, in some . mea¥ure at least, by the earnest- ness of his appeal. His power and sincerity of purpose struck one as something vital and com- pletely compensated - for evers- thing else that at the outset ap- «peared to be lacking but which was never missed when the au- dience once came under his spell. 2s spell it undoubtedly was. His power of description when dealing, for instance, with the love of King Solomon for a simple maiden, or better still with the love of Christ Himself for man. kind, though couched in simple, homely language as used by every day folk, brought the picture that Mr. Rader wished to paint before his audience as no flowery flow of language could ever have succeed- ed in doing without that sincerity which is quite evidently the power behind his message. A Message of Love His evening message was based on the text, taken from "The Song of Solomon." 'He brought me to the banqueting tahle and his ban- ner over me was love." "Everybody ought to have a love story," sald the evangelist who led his audience back with him to a time 25 years ago when he himself first fell in love and giving this incident in his life as scme slight example of the power which love has. "Ah, God is weak on the dove side," said Mr. Rader, "He loves all sinners even you and me. His is a love that cares. I. didn't believe it but I believe it now. "He knocks. 'Behold I stand at the door and knock." He can't knock you down. He can't make a mechanical instrument out of you, He can only stand at the door and (Continued on page 3) LABOR WINS IN BRITISH ELECTION (Canadian Press Despatch) London, June 9.--Labor re- tainéd its seat in the by-election al Gateshead necessitated by the death of Sir James B.

ENTHUSIASM FOR 1931 ROTARY FAR SHOWN BY CLUB Members Are Urged to Put Forth Every Effort to Make This Year's Fair a Success "The Rotary Club has never feiled yet in any of its undertak- ings and we will succeed in 1931 with the goodwill of the citizens." This concluding sentence in a brief -address-by Gordon "D."' Conant, marked the close of a series of short speeches by members of the Oshawa Rotary Club at its lun- cheon yesterday when the great- est enthusiasm for the Rotary Fair on Wednesday and Thurs- day, June 17 and 18, was express- ed. The speakers were D. F. Johnston, the club president, who urged on the members the neces- sity of putting whole-hearted ef- fort into the affair, in order :o keep up the clubs funds for its crippled children's work; Morley Jacobi, W. M. Gilhert, manager of the fair and Gordon, D. Conant. All of the speakers were opti- mistic for the result of the fair. and issued further instructions to the members on such matters as puchasing. publicity and organi- zation. Mr. Gilbert said the en- thusiasm of the members had reached a high point, and he ask- ed that this be maintained until the fair was over. G. D. Conant reviewed the past fairs which had been held by the Rotary Club since thie first one was staged in August, 1927, and said that in every case the club had been successful in raising the funds required for its work. This year greater effort than ever was needed, and pointing to the fact that the Rotary Club had never failed, he set before the members the objective of an even greater success in 1931. SEEN ASSISTANCE WITH BILLETING Legion Appeals for Co- operation in Connection With Housing Delegates at Big Convention The Oshawa Branch of the Can- adian Legion is to-day making an appeal, in another column, to those citizens who are. desirous of billeting delegates to the annual provincial convention which is to be held on August 26, 27 and 28. It is understood, of course, that all delegates will pay the rates fixed for their accommodation.The available hotel accommodation in the eity, it is expected, will take care of only about half of the dele. gates who are coming, as it is now fa certain that between 500 and 600 will be present for the three-day sessions, with many of these making a longer stay in the city. The billeting committee is now starting to compile its lists of available billets, and, coincid- ent with this, a list of the dele- gates is being compiled, so that it will 'be possible to assign every delezate to the place where he is going to stay well in advance of the opening of the convention. Citizens who wish to assist the Legion by taking delegates into their homes for thé shree or four days, are asked to write to "P.0.

The meeting had been arranged by co-operation of 11 city churches, representing five separate denominations, and the audience which crowded the church to the doors was represen- tetive of many different creeds. Fresh from an evangelistic cam- paign in Toronto, the wonderful personality of this great Christian worker, at once captured the at- tention and admiration of his au- dience. One time cow puncher, one time boxer, Paul Rader stood as a commanding figure in the pulpit and the same deep voice, which has thrilled thousands in his city of Chicago, touched the hearts of an Oshawa audience with its sim- ple story of love for Jesus Christ. As he explained it in his own fas. hion, it was the romance of his love for Christ which has led him up and down the world, seeking to save men and women with the old gospel. There was no suggestion of sen- sationalism about the appearance of this noted preacher in Oshawa yesterday. As he said himself, emotional thrills do not constitute ccnversion to Christ and he told the story of his own conversion simply and directly. His appeal for financial assistance for the work of the World-Wide Chris- tian Courjers, an interdenomina- ticnal organization carrying the gospel to out-of-the-way places, was made briefly dnd sincerely. "God is love. He is life and light," Paul Rader declared in the course of his address.

Before this delegation goes to Toronto a very thorough and com- plete registration of all persons who are unemployed in the city will be made by the civic' authorities act- ing through the co-operation of Ma- jor George Hamilton, Superintend- ent of the local Government Em- ployment Bureau, and his staff.

There 1s no provision for creating work | here in the city, however, and we must take up the matter of assist ance with the Provincial Govern- ment, putting the case up to them as strongly as possible and urging that something he done. "We will point out to the Gov= ernment that conditions are not very much better than they were during the fall and winter months and will urge the necessity for giv- ing the city some assistance. It is impossible for us to put the unem- ployed on straight relief and bear the whole cost ourselves. "We have decided that the first thing to be done is for us to make a complete census of all the unem- ployed so that we can go to Tor- onto fully armed with facts and fig- ures as conclusive proof of condi- tions as they exist," said the Chair- man of Finance. Figures given to the Finance Committee by Major Hamilton, re- lating to the registration of unem- ployed in his office, showed that 1.- 274 registrations had been made since the first of this year, 205 of these applicants for employment had not been in the office for four- teen days and were classified auto- matically as "cancelled", 859 were at present carried on the current files from which vacancies were filled.

Demonstration Likely to Take Form of Parade Through City's Streets-- Leaders of Jobless Are Secretive About Their Plans R------ From jnformation given to this paper from many sources, and in many fragments, it is learned that a definite organization is be- ing formulated amongst the ranks of the unemployed in this city, and that following the "mass meeting" held in the Orthodox Hall on Saturday afternoon last plans are being made for a "dem- onstration" or 'monster parade" to be held during this week, pre- sumably on Wednesday evening. Those among the ranks of the unemployed who take the leader- ship in matters relative to their organization are quite emphatic in stating their unwillingness to pass any information regarding their activities to the press, while there is also among the general rank and file a distinct element of secrecy which leads to the be- lef that they are absolutely in earnest in all that they do. It is claiméd by some of those who are présumably in touch with the matter, that the demonstra- tion' planned will take the form of a Mig parade through thé streets of the city for the purpose of drawing attention to the large number of mén who cannot obtain work, one of the unemployed nam- ing the number of men who will take part as '"'over 2,000," al. though, of course, this is consider- ed a great exaggeration as the to- of registered unem- ployed in the city is not more than 700. With the Finance Committee of the City Council having' met last night, and the General Purpose Committee meeting this evening, there is possibility that what has now been done may lead them to discontinue their plans for some kind of demonstration, but unless this is the case it appears that such a show of feeling is bound to take place. Relief Not Legal Right. In connection with this whole unemployed problem a prominent citizen has brought the wttention of The Times to a curious legal fact. As a matter of law the muni- cipality, or the City Council as re presenting the municipality, has no responsibility to the unemploy- ed whatsoever. Under tha Public Health Act men, and women, who are sick and need hospital treatment can ob- tain it in one or other of the pub- lie institutions maintained by pub. lic money, and the municipality to which they belong must foot the bill. On the other hand there is no legal responsibility as regards food, housing, or clothing for able- bodied persons who are not in a position to provide such necessi- ties for themselves through being unable to obtain employment. It would be, of course, consid- ered a most inhuman act to permit any person to starve through lack of action on the part of the muni- cipality in which he lived, and such a thing is not likely to hap- pen in Oshawa, but the fact re- mains that no responsibility in the matter is placed by law on the shoulders of any civic boby. No unemployed person can demand relief as his, or her, legal right although in all civilized communi- ties relief from want is generally accepted as a normal effort per- formed by the governing body of that community in all cases of emergency. Old Schooner Made Last Trip From Home Port Saturday evening the "Julla B, Merrill" finished her last run and diopped anchor shortly after seven o'clock in "Toronto Bay just a little east of the foot of Church sireet. The schooner sailed out of Port Hcpe Harbor shortly after eight o'clock Friday night and made ood time at- first: Gradually alling off. the ship came to an a'most complete standstill some five or six miles southeast of here and lay in almost the same posi- tion until after midnighi when a strong wind rose in a north- east, so that the Merrnl raced forward, reaching Oshawa in short order. Agoin thie wind died and there the ship lay with little puffs of wind coniing first from one cor- ' J ner and then from another direc- tion. It wasn't until afternco: that any very noticeable progress was made. Then a gentle wina came up directly a-stern and Captain Peacock winged hig toresail and wainsail, The wind gradually in creased in volume until it blew quite & gale vy the time the ship bere down upon the Eastern Gap when it was necessary to go over on the port tack.

Finally, it was decided that the Senate of Knox College will first in- vestigate and, if any charges are formulated, turn same . over to a Commission to be appointed by the Assembly: and the suggestion to blend the 'Toronto and Montreal colleges "as an economy measure' failed to win the support of the Assembly.

O'Reilly, gecretary of the company, both charged with forgery arising out of the discharge of two mort. gages, it transpires that the case had its beginning when Crown- Attorney John A. McGibbon, of this city, was transacting the nec- essary business of discharging the mortgages in question, The mortgages were on the home of Terrance E. O'Reilly, sit- uated in Pickering township, and it was when Mr. McGibbon com- municated with Crown - Attorney Armour of Toronto in connection with their discharge that the ques- fon of some malpractice originat. ed. The Toronto lawyer who ar- ranged the papers was interview- ed, and it is alleged that in exécu. ting the discharges he believed that he had in his office on the two occasions the actual person holding the mortgage. Police say the two mortgages were dis- charged and others executed and the money so raised was used in connection with the financing of the Chemical Company. Terrance O'Reilly is alleged to have forged the name of H. Row- sell of Thornhill to a mortgage for $13,600 on the Pickering dwelling. His brother, William H. O'Reilly, is alleged to have forgéd the signature of W. A. Thompson in another mortgage transaction on the same house. The amount named in the charge against William H. O'Reilly is 5,100 Both are charged with forgery arising out of the discharge of the two mortgages on a property in Pickering Township.

CHAUTAUQUA PLAY WAS ENJOYED BY LARGE AUDIENCE Opening of Five Days' Series of Programs in the Big Tent Last Night Canadian Chautauqua opened for a five days' run in Oshawa last evening and a crowded tent witnessed the first performance which was the presentation of the pleasing three act comedy, "Turn to the Right" in which Jean Campbell and Don Arbury co- stared as the mother and the re- pentent son. With these two out- standing players of Canadian fame were a brilliant group of actors who completed the cast: John Beachler as Murgs, the one- time 'thug', George Burch as Sam, the enterprising salesman, and Sally Belland and Della Curry as Betty and Elsie, two very attractive young ladies. The play was staged under the per- sonal direction of Duckworth Allison and it proved most popu- lar with the large audience last evening. Throughout the entire three acts and prologue there is a de- lighftul train of humour but the keynote of it all is the whole- someness. There is a charming love story with attempts at the truly dramatic. The story centres aronnd the return of Joe, to his mother and sister, Betty, Joe has been in prison for a year having been ac- cused of stealing money but on his return to his home decides to make a "turn to the right".

Disney--OId "Y" To Be Torn Down A new, modern theatre, cost- ing between $200,000 and $225,- 000, is planned for Oshawa by a group of local business men who have formed a company known as Syndicate Builders' Ltd. Announcement of plans for this project, which is one of the larg- est contemplated here for some time, was made to the Times to- day. The Syndicate recently pur- chased the old Y.M.C.A. building and property on Simeone street scuth, between the street railway car barns and The Times Build- ing. The theatre, which would be one of the best in Canada, would be erected on this proper- ty. Negotiations for the purch- ase of the property were made by L. V. Disney, local real estate dealer, while through the efiorts of Mr. Disney the company has also secured an option on prop- erty behind the Y.M.C. buiiding, including two frame houses facing or Celina street. If this addi- tional property at 48 and' 54 Celina street is secured tie new theatre would have access ¢) both Simcoe and Celina streets. Preparing Plans This new theatre, to be known as the Metropole, will be one of the finest and best equipped in the whole Dominion, ac:ording to plans for its construction which are now being prepared by C. C. Stenhouse, local architect. The old Y.M.C.A. building, which through lack of repair has bpe- come an unsightly eyesore, will be replaced by a substantial structure of three stories of beau- tiful design and prepossessing ap- pearance. Its handsome front, with wide entrance, flanked on beth sides by a store, would be a distinct improvement to the ap- pearance of the street, A Handsome Front ; The plans which were geen by The Times today call for a fronts age of 78 feet on Simcoe street. The building would be faced with red brick and stone trimming and the entrance leading directly from the street. would be beauti= fully decorated and ornamented.
