"A great door and cfiectual is opened unto me and these are many adversaries. The adversaries are conspicuous and tireless: Ignor- ance, poverty and disease are ever recurring. In almost every field the missionaries, feel keenly the ap- proach of a reduced staff and .in- adequate support by the church. Beyond these adversaries is the open door, great and effec- tual," declared the preacher in his appeal, Sunday, Many in Destitution He reported that in the dried-ont areas of Southern Saskatchewan repeated crop people in a state of destitution. From 85 to 98 per cent mm tue wis tressed areas were without food, clothing, fuel or fodder, involving not less than 150,000 persons. The government would provide material relief, assisted by its numerous auxiliary agencies. Last year the board had met every case of emer- gent need and was alert to shoulder this year's far heavier burden, ADDRESS GIVEN ON RELIGION IN MODERN WORLD Rev. Dr. T. S. Boyle, Co- bourg, Spoke to Wo- men's Canadian Club That the church would continue to survive--science and religion be- ing not opposed--and that only through the church could man hope to fulfill his duty to God and his fellow men, was the assertion of Rev. Dr. T, Stannage Boyle, of Co- bourg, speaking before the Wo- men's Canadian Club, Bowmanville, Monday afternoon. Mrs. J. H, H, Jury, president, introduced the speaker who dwelt on "Religion in the Modern World;" a searching analysis of the subject through the evolutionary medium, Thought Altered The war had completely altered the mode of thought; time was when religious beliefs were accept- ed without question; were regard- ed as the voice of authority, From: "They say; what say they?--let them say'---the trend of thought had reverted to "What say they?" said the speaker, No longer was there a united voice of finality, It was no longer fashionable to accept the age of the earth as given by carly writers, Even the Bible was subjected to the closest scrutiny. posed Larwinism Though Chas, Darwin's "Origin of Species" was more readible than other evolutionary books, tue church was opposed to Darwin, The speaker cited the memorable debate between Clarence Darrow on the one side, and William Jennings Bryan on the other, which ensued following the banning, by Tennes- see state of teaching of evolution in the schools, +He, for one, believed that man did not attain his present high state of development in one stage; that he was not the most favored of God, But, rather, that he attained to his present state by a natural process of development, The facts: Relationship of man- kind to the quadrumanous mammal of the species, Simiidal (LE. mon- key) which had been scientifically proved; both had a common ances- tor. Whereas the monkey lad deteriorated from pn not oo! ' development, man had gone ahead But, in the face of accipicu an, what, he asked should our attitude 'Ibe? Fortunate, indeed, he declared, were our forebears to be denied this knowledge. " Science and religion were not opposed. To the great scientist, steeped also <in the realm «fr ligion, God was a arene woot! . ticiang the Architect of the unie verse. luce t achieved had been achieved by faith, "Don't imagine tw' scholarship is on the side of un- belief," asserted the speaker. "So long as evolution is a known fact; so long as we can sav this is not so--it is the law of God; the law of truth, God is there in the realm of science just as He is in the realm of religion. And religion is not affectéd by the findings of science, The world is here--how it came to be here is not very im- portant, "Who were our ancestors 10,000 vears ago--~what does it matter? So far from darkening the world, science sheds its illumination; God appears more obvious than before." n conclusion he warned that science was not omnipotent: "Death still broods over the world. There is mystery all around us, Science solves many things; but it leaves others unsolved." MANY COMPLAINTS OF RADIO TROUBLE Not ol Bowmanville citizens are com- plaining erly of severe radio in- terference; and are requesting that the trouble car visit this town as son as possible. It-is practically impossible to listen in to any pro- ai now without hearing static. mplaint is nct confined to any one section of Bowmanville, but appears to be fairly general, Statistics are those authorlta- "1 mere | ES ENR, TE ug! tion to the contrary, LUNBER COMPANY MAKES COMPLAINT (Continued from page 1) was agaiist anything contained in the report but because of his often repeated contention thal the Purchasing Committee, sheuld "recomend to this coun- cil that certain purchases be made," instead of going ahead and making purchases, "I have not voted on any. report of the Purchasing Committee for four or five months," said Ald Hyman, Authority This remark brought for some discussion regarding the status and duties of the purchasing Committee, Alderman Hy. man agreeing with Ald. Sam Jackson, Ald. Boddy, Ald. Mor- ris and the Mayor that in th's, and other instances, the Purch- ssing Committe had authority to go ahead and transact business. Ald. Morris voiced his opinion that the Purchasing Committee should not have gone outside the city in this instance "just to save the paltry little sum of $160," Ald, Knox asked the very per- inent question, "Suppose this council rejected this report of the Purchasing Committee, what can we do about it? The lumber has beer bought and delivered." Was Urgently Needed Ald, MacDonald, chairman of the committee, explained that the lumber was urgently needed, He drew attention to the formal report of the Board of Works presented last night in which the recommendation was made for the purchase of still further sup- plies "There are certain things, smull items, which we do not confine entirely to local firms," valid Ald, MacDonald, "but with \arge amounts involved we must ask prices from outside the city. When you get a difference of five, ten, and fifteen per cent, in prices then I think there is an opportu- nity to save money for the city. Saved City Money Mayor Ernie Marks re-called that the Purchasing Committee had been appointed at the begin- ning of the year and added, *'this committee has saved the city a great deal of money, I would hate to see it done away with in 1932." The discussion ended on this note, with no further action be- ing taken, (Continued from page 1) conditions on this reyuest for prices is that we would, it we were the successful tenderers, be obliged to purchase and carry this stock in our local yard to be delivered as the specifications set out when, where and in such quantities as may from time to time be required, Delivered in Bulk "This order was placed with fessrs. John B, Smith and Sons in bulk, and was delivered by them in bulk, The quotation of Messrs, J, B, Smith and Sons, which we have seen in the Clerk's oftice, is quoted in bulk, Had we been taken sufficiently into the confidence of the purchasing committee, being the lowest ten- derers locally, and told that bulk delivery was satisfactory, our price would have been much low- er than it was. . "The only reason we can see for taking this order outside the city was the desire on the part of the city Purchasing Commit tee to save every dollar possible of the taxpayers' money, But we submit that, had the same pur: chasing committee carried out with our local association of re- tall lumbgr dealers an agree- ment they made with us, whereby we would sit together and dis- cuss the different grades and species to be used for these var- ious purposes, they would have been saving the city considerably more money than they apparently did. Could Have Saved Money If this had been done in this case the writer wishes (0 go on ecord as saying that the pur nasing committee could have ;aved on this particular bill ap- proximately $1,200.00 of the tax- payers' money, The class of white pine ordered is far too good and Loo expensive to he used in sewer work. In that particular work it deteriorates just as fast as lower grades and different species of Jumber deteriorate, Hemlock or apruce, which cost far less, would have done the job just as much as the stock ordered, In fact the City of Oshawa, for the last four years, has heen using, hemlock and spruce in this work, The material and grade specified is only used by contractors for bet- ter classes of work such as win- dow frames, door frames, steps, stairs, ete, igures Quoted "We might say that in the last four years we have paid out in wages in the City of Oshawa ap- proximately $97,000.00, and $6,-, 900.00 in taxes, and durine that period we have received approxi mately $1,600.00 worth of sbusi: ness from the City of Oshawa, In fact, in the year 1920," we re- celved $9.52 worth of business for the whole year. "We would like to know if our competitors from Toronto are contributing anything to the City of Oshawa? Our local merchants and press are boosting te buy in Oshawa and we ask you as Coun- cillors is it good business to buy out of town when the difference in price was so little, or should, we not have beem given the | portunity to meet the outs competition w, hea the purchasing CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS WILL CO-OPERATE ..
