After the luncheon there will be ihe usual toast list, His Majesty the King, "Our Alma Mater" and the Graduating Class heing honored.

The playlet "Sir Peter and Lady Teazle," was staged by Miss Edna McLeod and Miss Velva Brooks. On Saturday evening the reci- tal of the graduates was held. Individual numbers were given by Kayo Barr Flora MacDonald, Hana Fukuda, the Japanese stu- dent, while those taking part in the dramatic number, "Jean Val- jean and the Bishop," were Beatrice Kerr, who read the prologue, Mary McMullen, Dor- othy Bass, Agnes Benson and Dora Funnel.

CHRISTIANS MUST EXPERIENCE GOD'S LOVE THEMSELVES (Continued from page 1) and said that it. would be an elm. He made that metal and said it would be gold." The speaker told of his experi- ence 19 years ago. He had had doubts which troubled him greatly and he decided that he had not been "playing fair" with Jesus. At once he determined to read the Bibfe for there he could come face to face with God's own word. "I turned the pages of my Bible and the fiirst thing that struck me were the words, "Jesus wept,' he stated. I recalled the story from my boyhood. Jesus was com- ng to the tomb of Lazarus and he be just been informed of his feath. The family with whom He and his disciples had spent so any happy, intimate minutes, ad been bereaved by death. And ary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus, 'were telling Him that it he had been present Lazarus would not have died. Jesus wept out of pure sympathy for them." "This brief sentence," the speaker continued, "mae me feel the great love which Jesus had for all of us. That feeling grew strong within me and although I cannot explain my experience I felt subject to God. Every page of the Biple was filled full of wonder for me and I was filled with new spiritual intelligenzc. T* changed my whole life so that my one great aim: was to tell God's love to others." It was only natural, Paul Rad- er declared, that people had doubts about religious things. They had a right to ask questions, to ask why the church conforms to this form, that doctrine, why there has to be worship every Sunday, why" insistence ypon certain codes of morals. Illustrating his remarks with the humorous story of a sentry he had met in London, who was on guard . over a certain historic building but could not tell the reason why, the speaker declared that too often when members of the younger generation ask for an explanation . concerning mat- ters pertaining to the church the answer is "On Guard, Hands off." These beautiful forms of wor- ship, cathedrals, anthems were the ernal objective things in- herited from generations who had experienced within themselves the love, the life and the light of God. Ag such they were splendid, but f this experience was lacking mong church members, then they ey Fi 5 Phone 1082wW DAY OR NIGHT 'Oshawa Burial Co. M. F> Armstrong & Son. .

E. Thompson presiding. With about forty applications for naturalization to come be- fore the Court, it will be wel] on to the afternoon before the crim- inal business will be proceeded with. The criminal docket in- cludes theft from the mails, se- duction, theft from a bank and false pretences, It is understood that one of the cases may not go before a jury, the accused having elected speedy trial, be- fore a judge without jury. Unless they have cars, jurors will find it more difficult to reach Whitby from the north this time owing to the change in the north train service. The only al- ternative they have now is to come down in the early morning and stay all day. The Court is expected to last the greater part of the week. Government Tightens Dumpiug Provisions of Customs 1ariff Ottawa, June 9.--Dumping provisions of the customs tariff are being tightened up to make more effective the safeguards against unloading in this country of United States goods at slaught- ered prices. Canada was described by the Minister National Revenue as "the prize dumping-ground of the world," and the steps which he took 'at the emergency session of Parliament last September proved inadequate. Highly or- ganized United States concerns with branches in, the Dominion were able to evade the provisions of the act by shipping goods to their subsidiary companies in Canada, paying the normal duty, and then unloading their stocks at prices which were far below the fair market value and which Canadian competitors could not possibly meet. Not a day passed, it is said, but some effort was made to beat the Canadian law, and the commodities which it was sought to unload ran the whole gamut of manufactured products.Some of the most glar- ing examples were iron and steel products, building materials Lr 3 furniture. By the terms of the proposed amendment, imported goods may not be sold in Canada at a price less than the duty-paid value, plus all costs or charges subse- quent to their shipment from the place of origin.. These charges must include freight, sales, dis- tribution and advertising costs. In other words, the Canadian consumer will pay for the goods the same as the American con- sumer would have to pay for the same type'of goods, whereas un- der the old dumping clause Cana- dian subsidiaries of United States companies could import goods manufactured in the United States companies could import goods manufactured in the United States and sell them at prices much lower than the fair mar- ket price in the United States without the dumping duty being applied. The Minister of National Rev- enue will have ample authority to collect up to 50 per cent, of the fair market value of the goods if they are sold in Canada under dumping conditions, Singing of gospel hymns was ac- companied on the organ by H. C. Treneer, organist of the church, During the service, an offering was taken for the work eof the Worldwide Christian Couriers. OSHAWA FAVORED BY VISIT FROM NOTED PREACHER became but hollow meaningless forms. ¢ "Paul tells us," Mr. Rader con- tinued, "that Jesus is the logos of God. By that he means Jesus is all that God ever was, is and will be. All of God's plans for countless generations are wrapped up in Him. If we would only read God's word, read the sayings and teach- ings of Jesus and the testimony of the men who slept with Him and ate with Him, then we would re- ceive this great personal experi- ence of God. Thrills and unusual emotional demonstrations are not a part of this experience. Rather we would have a growing consci- ousness of God's love and new spiritual intelligence. Our young people are facing changed condi- tions in a changing world. Instead of insisting that they do this or that, conform to this ritual or creed, Jet us encourage them to read the Bible and lead them ¢n toward this personal experience." Christians are doing the same thing with the Orient as they are attempting to do with young men and young women, the preacher declared. Too much effort is being made to introduce the external things of Christianity into these countries with the resuit that new converts to Christ are confused and worried. First these heathen peoples should be led to the point where they experience the pre- sence of God in their own lives, Then by His grace, they will of themselves replace inferior cus- toms and social forms by the bea- tiful externals of Christianity. In an interesting manner, the evangelist recounted the work of the Worldwide Christian Couriers in various foreign fields. They were not insisting on the intro- duction of western institutions or customs, but rather were simply attempting to lead these heathen peoples to Christ. The Couriers were aiding the missionary work of several different demoninations. "My only regret is that I can not do more," the evangelist de- clared. "When one thinks of the millions who have never heard of the gospel it makes one's heart heavy." Although two of his daughters are now engaged in Christian work in India, Paul Rader stated that he had come back from the East heart-broken because so lit- tle had been dome for the. cause of Christ while there remained so much to do. "If we would only subject our selves to God," he said, "how much more we would do. Oa {hat day when you experience the love of God in your life, you will know the truth of Jesus' saying, 'I am in the Father and the Father is in me and I in you." You shall have an- intelligent, matchless revela- tion which shall transform your whole ife." . : In conclusion 'Paul Rader de- clared he could do without the ex- ternals -of. Christianity "but give me Jesus. I can not do without him." . With Mr. Rader on the platform during the service were Rey. Os- wald J. Smith, pastor of the Tor- onto Gospel Tabernacle and Dr. E. Ralph Hooper, assistant pastor. COMING EVENTS 8 Cents per word each dn. OLD TIME DANCE IN GENE'S Hall, Courtice, Tuesday even- ing. Special music. Admission 25¢.

He can't make machines out of us, all He ¢an do is whisper, send messages to us, hymns, Sure- ly you cannot do anything less than open up to Him, "He can't challenge our intel- lect. He cannot even argue with us and yet there are men who want to argue about the love of God. What would these men who want youito rationalize with them about God do with the world? Christianity is not character; it is when Jesus enters in and becomes part and parcel of your life. It is a miracle that God performs and gives you eternal life. "What is eternal life? All life that we know is created life. God is Uncreated Life. Jesus was Un- created Life. He said 'Before Ab- raham was I am." He did not come to set a standard or creato laws but to offer life. Unereated life. 'I give eternal life,' A gift to any man or woman who opens their heart to receive it," said Mr. Rader. "Joint heirs," was his expres. sion in explaining the position of one who accepted Christ, using, with others, the simile of the twig grafted to an old tree. "After a year you go back and ask the twig how old it is. 'One year' is the answer, but you say no, 301 years. You are drawing sap from a tree 301 years old. The twig is a joint heir with the tree, and you, Scrip- ture tells vou that vou are bap- tized into the Body of Christ. "A wonderful Gospel. All you heve to do is open your heart to it; when that door opens Carist comes in. We that have let Him in know that He is in. We are not talking of doctrine, we know. 'He that hath the Son hath the wit- nes in himself.' You do not need a church, or a sect, or preacher, or a priest. You don't have to go to them, go to Christ." "God's Great Romance." Mr. Rader was most compelling in his words dealing with The Bible as God's Word, "Do you be- lieve that God made the Bible? I do. Do you believe that The Bible was written by men guided by the Holy Ghost? I do. Do you believe that everything we need is to be found between the pages of this book? I do. I believe that trees and wood are made from dirt rais- ed by the power of the sun. Take the elm tree. It says now give me elm wood, no resin now, none of the poplar chap's stuff. Just pure elm is what I want, and up comes an elm, raised by the sun. "The Word of God is without a single scientific mistake. If you can find one write to me and tell me about it in Chicago and I will gend yon a thousand dollars that I have had in the bank there for sixteen years. Men wrote it, why are there no mistakes? Because the Holy Ghost told them what to write. Was it written by men in a hypnotic trance or something like that then. No, by men with their eyes open who wrote as the Holy 'Ghost moved them to write, and a curious thing is they all saw the same plans and wrote to the same purpose, and ahead of time too. ' "We think it is wonderful to preserve the past. We keep a phonograph record of somebody's voice, or a photograph of some persont who has passed onward, pbut God preserves the future for thousands of years. The 22nd psalm says 'and they pierced my hands and my feet," and yet death by crucifiction was not heard of when that psalm was written. £ . "If any book should be easy to kill it ought to be this ome it is go spread ont, but tonight, thank God, she's still up-to-date and go. ing strong. God's great romance is in this book. If you examine this book you will find root, stem, branch, blossom and fruit. Thank God for a country like Great Bri- tain whose queen had her picture taken with thig book in her hand. We need to take it down, dust it off, read it." He told the story of King Solo- mon disguising himself as a shep- berd boy, "Commandeering" his chothes and his sheep, and follow- ing this story, stated "Don't think it was any trouble for God to change His clothes and wrap Him- self jn the human body. Arn't we. fools we educated fools. God '8:20018 We efuca.ed 109 is God. He can change His clothes. Solomon could change his clothes and commandeer a few sheep and cannot God?" asking this ques- tion having in mind the incarna- tion. Mr. Rader's stirring address proved very conclusively this great evangelist to be a great lov= er of horses. Speaking of the pomp surrounding King Solomon he lin- gered, probably quite unintention- ally, in his descriptions of horses and chariots. King Solomon's horse purchases are quite evident- ly something very real to this thorough preacher and it is when dealing with matters in which he feels a physical as well as a spir- itual interest that he becomes most clear and lucid in his ex- pression, He dealt almost at length with the fact that Solomon could,' and would, go to no end of trouble to match a pair of horses, stating '"he could buy horses like we buy bananas." "Go and Tell Them." In conclusion Mr, Rader stated "There is only one command that comes down to us through the ages unto the uttermost part of the world and tell them, and we haven't. Go and tell them and 'I am with you even unto the end of the world." There are only two- thirds of the people in this world who know anything of Christ and we have known of Him for 2000 years. Oh, it isn't fair, it fsy't square, Love doesn't do things like that," said the speaker in making an inspired appeal for missionary work in foreign fields as carried out by many denomina- tions. Before the meeting closed Rev. Oswald J. Smith, of the Gospel Tabernacle, Toronto, who was as- sociated with Mr. Rader during his visit to Oshawa, expressed the pleasure that Mr, Rader and him. self felt at being in tho cify and thanked all those responsihe for the invitation extended to them. "We owe our thanks to Mr. Alloway, to every minister, and to the Mayor for the invitation ex- tended to us," said Mr. Smith. "Mr. Alloway, supported hy the ministers of the different church- es, did everything possible to bring Mr. Rader here and we want to thank him and them publicly for what they have done," Mr. Smith said while Mr. Rader him- self also added his warm apprecia- tion of the invitation extended. $225,000 THEATRE PLANNED FOR THE CITY OF OSHAWA (Continued from page 1) ceed that of any other auditor- ium, theatre, or hall in the city.

There is a very happy ending with wholesome laughter and true sentiment, Opening Ceremonies Miss Rowles, director of the Oshawa Chautauqua, spoke for a few moments after being intro- duced to the audience by Mr. Stephen Saywell. Miss Rowels has a very charming manner and gave a mort hearty welcome to Oshawa people to the Chautau- qua programmes this season. During the evening Mrs, J. M. Erickson, wife of the president of Canadian Chautauquas was intro- duced to the Oshawa audience and took several moments to tell some interesting facts about the Chautauqua. Mrs. Erickson is di- recting the Eastern Ontario cir- cuit and is in Oshawa for a few days, : CITY WILL ASK GOVT. FOR AID (Continued from page 1) "I have no way of actually finding out the total, definite number of unemployed persons in the city," and placing the probable increase in, numbers under the registration to be undertaken by the civic authori- ties as "possibly 400." The opinion was expressed that there are, for instance, a large num- ber of single girls who are finding it impossible to obtain employment and who have been struggling along as best they can without obtaining actual relief. The matter of single men who have net received relief, was also gone into by the commit- tee at last night's meeting, and all these people will receive considera- tion under the registration scheme being put into effect. Registration Begins Tomorrow Actual registration of the unem- ployed is to commence in the Gov- eriment Employment Bureau first thing on Wednesday morning, All unemployed men, women, and girls, no matter what their normal occupation may be, are urged by the civic authorities to co-operate in this matter and have their registra- tion properly carried out. In connection with this registra- tion one of the points which it is hoped to obtain definite informa- tion upon is the number of foreign- born residents who' have not taken out naturalization papers, and also the number of unemployed who are not bona frde residents of Oshawa. Both men and women will be asked to give their nationality, place of birth, whether married or single, us- ual occupation, length of residence in Oshawa, last place of residence. where last employed, and similar information of which us¢ can be made when discussing the whole problem with representatives of the Provincial Government. Actual registration will be carried out during the whole of the next three days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and up until noon on Saturday by 'ehich time it is sup- posed that this task will be accom- plished. With the information thus obtained it is hoped that statisiical evidence can then be adduced in a short time which should enable the civic deputation to go to Toronto on Tuesday of next week. Appeal to Unemployed Following a brief conference this morning, at which the Mayor, Ald, Macdonald, Ald, Boddy and Major Hamilton perfected the registration scheme, the Mayor and Ald. Mac- donald issued a joint statement in which they expressed the hope that the unemployed men of the city would appreciate the efforts being put forward by" City Council, and not make any demonstration ct parade. "The City Council feels that at this time, inthe face of what we are trying to do, and in view of the fact that we are sending a deputa- tion to wait on the Provincial Gov- ernment in the interests of the unem ployed of this city, that any useless demonstration or parade will not help the situation. Such a show '| these CITY NEWS HEARING ADJOURNED The application for an order to wind up the affairs of the Vitamin Milling Company, which was to have been heard at Osgoode Hall last Friday, was adjourned until June 16. The Vitamin Milling Company is the concern which came here last fall with a propo- sal to establish a flour mill here, but nothing came of the proposal. COURT DATES Dateg for the fall sittings of the supreme court for Ontario County, have been announced. The jury session at Whitby will be opened on September 28, with Mr. Justice Raney presiding, and the non-jury session will be con- vened on November 30, with Mr. Justice Garrow on the bench. as that which we understand is con- templated may possibly cause oniy aggravation, "We hope, therefore, that plans for any demonstration which may' be made will be at least postponed until we have an opportunity of proving that we are doing all in our power to remedy the situation", said elected representatives of Oshawa's citizens.

Mortlock, Driver of Car Which Fatally Injur- ed Young Underhill Boy, Is on Bail of $5,000 -- Charge Enlarged From Criminal Negligence to Manslaughter B. H. Mortlock, lacal newspa- per man. who is charged with manslaughter arising from the death of Jack Underhill, aged 10, near the Boys' Training School on Monday June 1st, was remand. ed until June 25th when he ap- peared before Magistrate Alan Campbell in Police Court yester- day afternoon. Bail was renew- ed in the sum of $5000, with two local business men acting as sure- ties. The case was held over ow- ing to the inability of the defense council to be present. J. C. Me- Ruer, K.C., of Toronto, is acting for the accused. Mortlock was charged with cri- minal negligence when Underhill succumbed almost instantly after the accident last week. Mort. lock was on his way to attend the cadet inspection and prize giving at the Training School when the accident occurred. Turning out to pass a car driven by Dr. V. H. Storey he saw several women and children on the road ahead. Be- lieving that he could not get past he pulled back behind Dr. Sto- rey's car which had now come to a standstill to pick up the Under- hill boy. Seeing that he was un- able to stop without hitting the doctor's car he turned for the ditch when the young boy turned and mistaking his intentions also jumped for the ditch right in the path of the car. He was almost instantly killed. Bail was set in the first place at $2000 but when the charge was enlarged to manslaughter by At- torney-General Price the bail was raised to $5000. The reason giv- en for the enlarging of the charge was that in future all accidents in which death occurs, criminal neg- ligence charges will not be en- countered, the Attorney - General ordering that manslaughter must be charged in these instances. J. C. McRuer, .C., who is acting for Mortlock, will be present at the resumed hearing on June 25th, when the preliminary trial will be held. HIGH SCHOOL BOYS T00 MUCH FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL Junior Students Trounced 15-2 in Bowmanville Softball Game Leaving the Public School stu- dents far behind the High School scholars won their second victory of the season from their juniors in a scheduled game at the school grounds last night. It was one of these games that one does not care to watch very often owing to its one-sidedness. High School was the better team from start to finish and never showed any signs of breaking down. Colmer pitch- ing for the seniors, played one of his best games of the season al- though his record of strike outs was not impressive. He, how- ever, made the other boys hit up or made them hit so that they sel- dom got as far as first base. Ths team behind him gave him plenty of support and fielded well, very much idfferent to a recent game they played. On the other hand Dave Os- borne, who started the season so auspiciously, while he pitched a very fair game, did nothing spec- tacular, His team was poor at the plate and made plenty of er- rors in the field. They batted first but were unable to score. In the second they scored one and another in the 8th the only two they managed to squeeze by with, High School gainc? *=9 in the first frame, added 5 in the second, 7 in the 5th and one in the 8th. The final score was 15 to 2. Osborne's record was one strike out, one walk and two ho- mers of his offerings while Col- mer also got one walk antl one strike out but no homers. Bag- nell and Slemon for the High School scored consecutive homers in the 5th inning. The teams were: High School-- H. Colmer, ». Adams c. D. Williams 1b. H. Slemon 2h, K. Osborne 3b. E. Bagnell s.s.

Oshawa, June 8, 1931, Editor Oshawa Daily Times, Oshawa, <4 Dear Mr. Editor:-- 3 Kindly allow me sufficient space in your valuable 'paper to register a strong protest against the recent action of the Public Utilities Commission in regard to shutting off of water in homes where water accounts are unpaid, As a tdxpayer and businessman, being an old citizen, with the welfare of our citizens at heart, L believe I am within my juris- diction when I state that it would be an unwarranted tragedy to take such inhuman and drastic action. Those who are so unfor- tunate as to feel this depres- sion to the extent that they are unable to meet their water bills (and who is there amongst us who are not feeling the depres- sion to a greater or lesser de- rree?) deserve at least the kind- ly Christian sympathy and as- sistance of those who occupy "the seats of the mighty," It js my privilege to commend Commis- sioner George C. Allchin and Dr. McKay for their stand in thié matter, and I feel that Mr. John Stacey, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, Mr. Frank Mason, commissioner of the P.U. C., also Mayor Ernie Marks, with his kindly Irish heart and his broad sympathies, also the City Council, would not allow a water shut-off in Oshawa for one mo- ment, I believe Commissioner Alichin stated that the unpaid water ac- counts amounted to only 2 per cent. I would like to state that any business, in these difficult times, finding its accounts re- ceivable only 2 per cent. of its gross sales, such business is in a very healthy financial condition indeed. I notice, Mr. Editor, by a re- cent issue of your paper and also the Toronto press, that the idea of a water shut-off originated in the fertile (?) brain of the re- cently appointed member of the Public Utilities Commission, who, when he was Mayor of Oshawa, during the years 1926, 1927, 1928 and Alderman in 1929, al- ways professed to be the "work- ing man's friend." Why the change in his atti tude? May I ask, Mr. Editor, if his water rates are all paid and, if not, will his water supply be cut off? I would also like to ask if nis taxes are all paid, with no arrears, and if not, how the said Commissioner could qualify as a member of the Public Utilities Commission? Municipal Law dis- tinctly states that to oceupy a seat on City Council or Public Utilities Commission, 'Taxes must be paid in full," The conclusion from the above is obvious and the citizens will, I feel, agree with me when I state, that the man who made tha me- tion to shut off water where ac- counts are unpaid, should have been the last man in Oshawa to suggest such unkindly action to- wards citizens, who would be on- iy too glad and willing to pay their indebtedness were work forthcoming to enable them to do so. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, I am, Respectfully yours, "01d Citizen." Little Willie, aged five, had gone to bring in the new kittens, His mother, hearing a shrill miaowing, called out, "Don't hurt the kittens, Willie." "Oh, no," said Willie, "I'm carry- ing them very carefully by the stems. Possibly the. reason Texas Guin« an's show was thrown out of Eng- land was that it revived memories of "Legs" Diamond.
