THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1940 PAGE THREBR St. Andrew's Church' Marks Its 108th Anniversary * &- "-~ SELFISHNESS DENOUNCED 'AS DESTROYER OF HOMES, SOCIETY AND THE NATION Rev. J. E. Todd, of Toronto, Guest Preacher, Predicts Peace Will Come With a Crown of Victory; Says Germans Have Germs of Disentegration Principles laid down by Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago in His Ser- mon on the Mount will put this world on the right track, and noth- ing else can, Rev. J. E. Todd, pastor of St. Clair Avenue United Church, declared Sunday evening at St. An- drew's United Church in this city. Rev. Mr. Todd was special preacher morning and evening for services marking the 108th anniversary of St. Andrew's Church. In the eve- ning, the congregation of Simcoe Street United Church, headed by the Rev. A. D. Cornett, M.A, OBE, the minister, joined their neighbor church in worship and thanksgiv- ing. "Think of the power for good in- vested in the wonderful country of Germany," Mr. Todd proceeded from his text, 'Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled' in Matt. V, 6, but which is made of no effect because the | whole land is on the wrong track. | "Consider all the power which we are concentrating on war today and think what it would have meant if it had been made effective 10 to 12 years ago. You remember those years when men were going around the country just begging and pleading for a job. Things are different now. I don't know where the money is coming from, but there seems to be plenty of it. True, I am no economist or financler. I just wonder what closed the minds or the hearts of statesmen 10 or 12 years ago. Easier Ways "I wonder, sometimes, a! the Di- | vine strength of the words Jesus used. He blessed those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. How much easier it would have been for you and I if He had said 'Blessed | is the man who would like to be | righteous.' I might have qualified | under that sort of a beattitude. But | how many of us know what hunger | and thirst really mean? "To understand Christ's meaning, | note how men get an appetite for | making money. | "Babies are fiot born with a pas- | sion for wealth. But as the infant grows up, he sees what money does for a person in the way of comfor: | and satisfaction, and resolves to get | some of it. That's how the passion begins. Yet how rarely does pos- | session of wealth confer the ex- pected happiness. Instead, it breeds much unhappiness which is experienced 'by people who, at the | end, don't know how to handle the | wealth they have accumulated. "The madness of this undiscip- lined age is that we care for many | fine things but we don't care quite enough. We care for righteousness, but we set bounds upon our desire. "What does righteousness mean? | It means right relationships among men, and that starts with right attitudes within men themselves. "Someone expressed alarm, lately, that people are thinking too much. My reply to that is that I am not afraid of thought, but I am dread- fully afraid of a world in which | men refuse: to .think, | "If we will only learn how to think, we'll come out all right. Too Much Character "Te emphssise my point, straight thinking, let me ask you if you be- lieve that too much character in | the world is the cause of its | troubles? "Tell me, is the up and down swing of unemploymént due to too much character? I am talking about righteousness and right rela- tionships among men, remember. Is it because of too much character that men can act so damnably selfishly? "Therefore, if you have reasoned this out with me, if it is lack of character that is wrong with the world, then character is what the world needs more than anything else. "I say to you that selfishness is the most disintegrating force in the world today. Go into any home where selfishness reigns, and it is no longer worth calling a home. Selfishness in a home turns a little bit of heaven into a great big piece of hell, "But some tell me that experi- ence teaches them otherwise. "They tell me that the man who is out for himself is the man who makes good. But I will no more argue on the point of the utility of selfishness than I will argue with a man who contends that two twos, make five. So far as I am concerned, in such an argument, one of us would be crazy. "Selfishness is what's wrong with our homes. with our nations, poli- tics and our churches. "Selfishness is like a cancer. You can't see it working until its ravage has spread too far, perhaps. "S0 1 see self-interest as a can- cer working into the heart of so- cletr, "T wonder if we can't come. as individuals to a place where we may develop a huneer and thirst for de- cency and ticht relationships. ¥inseifishness In London "On thic very day the highest splendor of unselfishness 1s being pressed by Rev. | "By Babylon's Rivers", shown by the youth of our race in the air over England and old Lon- don, on land, on the sea and under the sea. We are praying for peace, a victorious peace, and I question . if we gare going to be worthy of it. "For®we are going to win this war. I know this because Hitler and the Germans have within them the germs of disintegration, indiv- idual and national. Such have never won and they will never win. "Peace will come with a crown of victory for the high ideals for which so many brave lives are being gladly offered. "But will we care enough for decency and democracy when this war is over, and find that hunger and thirst for righteousness which God Himself shall fill?" Rev. George Telford, M.A, min- ister of' St. Andrew's United Church, welcomed worshippers from Simcoe United Church and expressed special pleasure in hav- ing Rev. Mr. Cornett, their pastor, in the pulpit at St. Andrew's Church for the first time. Special congratulations church on its anniversary Mr. Todd his sermon at the union to the was ex- prior to evening service. "I want to say how much I have appreciated being with you today," | the St. Clair Avenue United Church pastor stated. "There is something so spontaneous about the spirit of | this entire congregation. The sing- | | ing has been an inspiration, and I | want to thank your choir sl and choir members." "I do believe," Mr. Todd siintetd out, "that I have met more Scots folk here in this church than I had | believed were to be found in Osh- awa." Special music featured and evening services at St United Church under C. morning Andrew's J.

RECEIVESNEW | POSTAGE STAMP Inventor of Used on New Issue, Sent to Oshawa Collector Claim that Alexander Graham | Bell invented the telephone at Bos- ton has just made a matter of | philatelic celebration in the United States. A special United States | postage stamp showing a semi-full face view of Bell has been issued | and a first cover, stating Boston's claim on the enveloped, has been received by E. M. Ostler, 136 Glad- stone Avenue. Being Canadian, Mr, Ostler regards this first cover as a curiosity in the field of inaccurate history. Brantford, Canada's Tele- phone City, has established its priority as the scene of Bell's ex- perime.ts leading to the perfection of vocal communication by means of wired electric current. Mr. Ostler has a most interest- ing collection of special covers. One issued on May 6, 1940 com- memorates the first century or penny postage. Another cover from the Royal Train on which Their Mapestier toured Canada in 1939 is highly prized by the owner. Along with it is a Coronation cover from Ottawa cancelled on May 10, 1937, the day on which King George VI and Queen Eliza- beth were crowned at Westminster Abbey. BIG INCREASE Never before has the Canadian heg industry witnessed such a tre- mendous expansion in the space of one year as it has in 1940 This is amply illustrated by figures com- piled by the Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. Deliveries to public stock yards and direct to packing plants in the Dominion during the first forty- two weeks of 1940 amounted to 3,- 792,000 hogs, an increase of no-less than 45 per cent over the corres- ponding period of 1939. As a matter of fact, marketings for the forty- two weeks referred to very closely approach the figure for the whole of the calendar year of 1937 a year when Canadian hog raisers created Telephone, | cepted by lo for Canada her crew picked up | glad the | all the Germans we have run into | Tromsoe. | was a few days ago in Buffalo," he an all-time production record.

Nov. 4--Pleading guilty to a charge of drunken driving be- fore Magistrate O. A, Langley, K.C., in police court, William Elliott, of Smith Township, was sentenced to a term of seven days in jail. His auto was impounded for three. months. Elliott was stated to have run into a parked car; owned by Edward Moher, of Peterboro, on George street, last week. Sentence was suspended in the case of James Neck, of Smith Town- ship, who pleaded guilty to break- ing and entering the premises of the Peterboro Canoe Co., Ltd., and stealing three pairs of skis, with harness, and two pairs of ski-poles. Suspended sentence was meted out also to an 11-year-old boy who pleaded guilty to the theft of several bicycles in recent weeks. Three other juveniles, all aged 12, made tl: ir appearance on a charge of breaking and entering St. Paul's Presbyterian Church 'last Sunday.

Mr. Moore spoke on a CBC net- work at the invitation of the Joint Committee of the Senate, which has arranged several such talks. He referred to a recent statement by Maj.-Gen. H. D. G. Crerar, Chief of the General Staff, which stressed the importance of this flow of mu- nitions and supplies. "This being so, it is just as im- portant to maintain the health and morale of the industrial worker as that of the army," said Mr. Moore, "The need to keep an army well fed and contented has long been recognized, and human nature be- ing what it is--the same consider- ation is essential for workers if production is to be Talsed to its highest point." Where opportunity for voluntary co-operation was offered there need be no doubt as to a willing and en- thusiastic response on the part of the workers. The other way of ap- proaching the question was the old paternalistic -. and often autocratic method of telling the workers what they must do and what is good for them. Mr. Moore termed voluntary co- operation "the sounder and more British metheod," adding: "In fact, failure to adopt this voluntary common causes of labor unrest." Canada was a united nation and must remain so and Mr. Moore hela it was no doubt a recognition of this | fact, so far as industrial relations | were concerned, that brought the Order-in-Council of June declaring principles for the regulation of labor conditions during the war. "One of our needs now is that all concerned--workers, employers and Government alike--should refresh their memories and seek to give practical effect to both the letter and spirit of the principles enun- | | ciated in the Order." himself to missions | the Royal | The Order called for fair and | reasonable standards of wages and working conditions; that hours of | work should not be unduly extend- ed, but so far as practical increased | output should be obtained by adop- tion of additional shifts. "Recently," added Mr. Moore, "there has been a gratifying reduc. | tion in unemployment figures and considerable has been done in fitting workers for jobs through youth training and similar schemes." There remained, however, a press- ing need for more training facilities, not only for youth, but also for those older men who only require refresh- er courses to restore their skill par- tially lost through long years of un- employment. "The need of the hour is to per- sist with tolerance and patience to get smooth teamwork between or- ganized labor, employers and Gov- ernment so that all can pull the load equally," he said. Christian now express wonder and admiration for the spirit of self- sacrifice which animates the mis- sionary representatives of Christian churches. Special reference was made to the sincerity of Field Marshal Chiang-kai-Chek, generalissimo of the Chinese Republic who, Dr, Gil- bert sald, is a devoted Christian Despite the war in which this Empire and Canada are involved, Dr. Gilbert urged the greatest pos- sible measure of support for the missions in China where an entire nation may easily be moved into the path of Christian life and Christian zal. Special attention was called by Rev. Mr. Rose to the fact that St. George's Men's Fellowship will hold its first November meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday, in the parish hal. At that time M. F. Kirkland, mem- ber of the staff of the Oshawa Col- legiate and Vocational Institute, will be the special speaker. Men in general, Anglican or otherwise, are invited to attend. Don Crothers is president of the Men's fellowship. J. L. Lovell is secretary. Mrs. Gilbert, who shares Dr. Gil- bert's work in China, accompanied Lim to Oshawa from their furlough home in Toronto.

If humanity is | to be saved from soclal suicide, then | what has been before in the matter of missions must be increased by every power of zeal and 'sacrifice. "Here it is well to be clear on principles. Christian missicas do not involve doing away with any fundamental racial differences. It is not part of missionary effort to destroy the sentiment of patriotism. But what it can do is to bring the larger vision of God's Fatherhood, man's brotherhood, and the brother- hood's corrolary that any individual, as a child of God, is of infinite value. "We do not support Christian missions to rescue brands from the burning. and those who quote a Scripture to support that view may find that the injunction as phrased lacks historical accuracy. We do not engage in Christian missions for self-protection, although this modern world has grown so small that it is no longer sane or possible to indulge in the luxury of isola- tion. "No missionary zeal is the genius of the Christian religion. We know that the hope of the world, for in- dividuals and masses, is in the Gospel of our Lord." Doors of opportunity are swing- ing wide in many parts of the | Dutton, world, in China and India pare ticularly, the speaker declared. "And if we don't enter," he said, "then another figure may go in to srread hatred and destruction." Concluding, Rev. Mr. Corneté stated that the special objective of the Crusade in the Oshawa Prese bytery was to inspire a new resolve in the people of the United Church in this district to surrender mong completely to the will of God.
