PAGE EICKT Eo) THE DAILY TIMES-GAZ®TTE? 2 » SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 194% Harmony Men Hear Dr. McKay MRS. K. R. FLETCHER Correspondent Harmony, Feb, 13--Harmony Men's Club held its February meeting in the school auditorium Wednesday night, with a good representation of members and visitors present. After the meeting had been called to order by president Art Korry and the minutes and financial report given by secretary Al Rundle, an. nouncement was made of the min. strel show, sponsored by the club, to be presented at the school, Wed- nesday night, Feb. 25; also the pre. sident announced the Club's March meeting would take the form of a euchre party and box social for the members and their wives. In con. nection with the minstrel show, tickets for this event were distri. buted among the members and may be obtained from any club member, The president then introduced the speaker of the evening--Dr. W. G. McKay, who has recently open- ed an office in Oshawa. Dr. McKay first expressed joy at once again living in the home where his fam. ily have lived for years. He express. ed his willingness to do his part in furthering the interests and activi. ties of our community. For the most part, his talk dealt with that part of his service life which took him as a member of an R.CAP. fact-finding mission to the far Fast, to study best conditions for survival in tropical climates. They studied their personal reac. tions to this climate of intense heat, and indeed, became veritable "hu- man guinea pigs". One of their du- ties in this mission was to study the necessities and possibilities of a safe water upply. They arrived at an estimate of the absolute min. fmum of 15 gal. of water per day per person for all purposes in this hot climate. He spoke at some length about Thdia, the seething masses of at least 487 millions of people -- the varied races of which Hindus and Mohammedans were chief both in numbers and influence. He spoke of the ease in which service per. sonnel travelled about this part of the world at that time in aircraft of Transport Command, both Bri. tish and American and Canadian. He told of personal trips to the Taj Mahal, into gorgeous Kashmir province, and of viéwing the almost mythical Shalomar Gardens. At the conclusion of his talk, Dr. McKay displayed several souvenirs he had brought home after his six. months' trip to the Orient--an ex- quisitely decorated house coat, a couple of Ghurka knives, a beauti. ful purse, decorated in peacock de- sign with little beads. Albert Rundle moved a vote of thanks to the speaker for his inter. esting talk. The rest of the even. ing was spent in games and a lunch was served to bring the even. ing to a.close ! For the benefit of those: ladies who were either absent from the last meefyng of the Willing Work- ers, or may have forgotten, "the committee named to look after the program and lunch at the March meeting is as follows: Mrs. N. Price, Mrs. Arthur Korry, Mrs. Albert Rae, Mrs, Stewart MacKlie, .

Congratulations to the school hockey team who came off best in yesterday's game with Thornton's Corners, besting their oppinents with one goal Score was 4-3 in fa- vor of our Boys. Have you paid a visit to the school rink yet? If-not, do so before long, because with the end of Feb. ruary not far off, this popular spot will soon be closed for another year, We spent some time at the rink last night and felt it very worthwhile to see so many child. ren and young people enjoying themselves. There was a group of young people up from HFbenezer with their Sunday School teachers and they were telling us they cer. tainly wished they had a rink like ours. While we're on the subject, just a reminder about the ice carnival being sponsored by the Harmony Welfare Association next Friday night, Peb. 20. Come and enjoy yourselves op one of the smoothest ice surfaces you'll ever have the chance to skate on, and Incidental. ly, win yourself one of those prizes. ' We are indebted to A. E, May. cock for the writeup of the Men's Club Weeung held last Wednesday night. Mr. Maycock will be looking after publicity for the Men's Club and we are pleased at any time to receive anything of this nature, thus contributing to the interest and success of this column. Excuse us for going back to rink talk, but we thought you'd like to know this--At the conclusion of last night's skating period, as soon as "God Save The King" was played, every child stopped dead in his track and stood at attemtiom. This is quite different to i we've had elsewhere. W.M.S. Secretary Here Tomorrow Guest speaker at the evening service in 8t. Andrew's Church on Sunday will Mrs. C. M. Loveys, Home Secretary of the Woman's Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada. Mrs. Loveys knows the far.flung work of the church in Canada as few do. She is an accomplished and interesting speaker. After the evening service, Mrs. Loveys will address a gathering of graduate and undergraduate nurses and their friends in Mclaughlin Po =r The Death Of Gandhi By REV. R. BARCLAY WARREN The manner of Gandhi's passing shocked the world. The man who led in the campaign of passive re- sistance was himself slain by an assassin's bullet. He who had toil ed and suffered for India was murdered by one of his own peo- ple, yea, even one of his own so- cial order and religious faith. The colourful career of a man whose unique ways had baffled states- men came to an untimely end. One commentator said, "He was a Christ-like man". Some may dis. agree, but all will admit that no higher tribute could be paid any individual. Over 1,900 years ago a young man laboured to help his countrymen and their neighbours. In less than four years he did more to relieve suffering and enlighten men as to the happy way of life than any other ten have done in their life time. But the nation's leaders conspired to put him to death. Gentiles, rulers of the great Ro- man Empire of that day, joined hands with the Jews and crucified this man at the age of thirty- three. The influence of amis life will go on and on; t Gandhi himself is dead. He will be raised in the resurrection. But the young man, to the consternation of his enemies, arose from the dead on the third day. He lives and His presence is vivid in the lives of multitudes around the world, The young man was Jesus Christ, the Son of God; He tasted death for every man. Because He lives, we can be raised from the death of sth to walk in newness of life. Gandhi will go down in history ag one of the world's great men. But Jesus. Christ is greater than all the great, Of Him the apostle John heard voices in heaven ac. claiming, "The Kingdoms of this world: are become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever." Rev. 11:15) They Inspiring Theme Of Day of Prayer "One of the most fascinating dreams to capture the imagination is that of a new world", stated Mrs. H. G. Roberts of the Salvation Ar. my, in delivering the message "Thy Kingdom Come" at the World Day of Prayer held yesterday afternoon in Knox Presbyterian Church. The speaker went on to compare the Kingdom of God with that of King Alfred of England and the one of- fered by the German people if they had been victorious in the last war. "What we pray for", she summed up, "is a Kingdom in which every- one will be like the King--doing His will, ang living as He lived and loved." "The speaker pointed out that Kamnoline Sircar of India had dedicated her life to establishing a Christian village but before she could teach this pattern of living to those people in India, she had to know and love it herself. "To live the life as Christ taught it and lived it Himself" declared the speaker, "is a wonderful pro- gram, and with the evample set be- fore us we can all do our part". In closing Mrs. Roberts said that the success of praying depends on the individual effort, At this World Day of Prayer, wo- men of all denominations met to pray and to study the words of the Lord's Prayer, which was its theme and it was sponsored by the Wo- men's Inter-Church Council of Canada. Leaders from various church read explanatory passages about the Lord's Prayer as set down in a program prepared by members of the World Day of Prayer Com. mittee of the United States .of America. Those who took part were: James Cormack, president of the WMS. of Knox Presbyterian Church; Mrs. A. E. Collins, of St. George's Anglican Church; Mrs. T. W. Anderson, and Mrs. Charles Willoughby, president of the W. A. of Holy Trinity Anglican Church; Mrs. George Telford, president, and Mrs. J. C. Fetterly, secretary, of St. Andrew's W.MS.; Mrs. Don Rice, president' of the Kate McLaurin Mission Circle, and Mrs. Ronald Collins, of the First Baptist Church; Mrs. W, P.

LETS ALL GO TO CHURCE REGULARLY The Golden Text The day of Pentecost. By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The international lesson on the above topic for February 22 is Acts 2:37-47, Ephesians 4:1-6, the Me. mory Verse being Psalm 122:1, "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the House of Je- hovah.") ' IS THERE anything more pleas- | | breaking bread urable and stimulating than fellow. ship? In home, in school, in our social life, and especially in our church there is nothing more de- lightful than fellowship. In this lesson we are told of the happy fellowship of the early Christian church, when all shared and shar- ed alike, and lived in harmony, In our last lesson, you remem- ber that Peter and John were put in prison. after Peter had healed a man who had been lame since birth. They were released the next day after appearing before the Sanhedrin, because the priests had seen the result of the miracle, and were afraid to detain them longer. However, they were told not to preach Christ any more, but refus- ed to promise. Peter immediately began to talk to the people, telling them "God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Now these same people, who two months before had been crying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him," felt their consciences pricked, and appealed to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, saying, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Repent of Sins "Then Peter said unto them, Re. pent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Many other things Peter . told the people, begging them to "save yourselves from this untoward gen- eration," Many accepted his in- vitation and were baptized, as many as 3,000 souls. The people continued steadfast. ly in the apostle's doctrine and fel- lowship, and in breaking of bread and prayers." All these people, we are told, sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Jesus and His dis. ciples had lived this sort of com- munal life, having a common purse, It must have been a happy community of these newly con- verted people, happy and -enthus- iastic over their new life. "And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and from house to house, did eat their meal with gladness and singleness of heart. "Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." The Christian Way This is the way all Christian people should live, even if they disagree in certain doctrines. Noth- ing is sadder than discord in a church which bears Christ's name. Just as in tise home family, the best welfare of the children and the greatest happiness to all comes from harmgny-- eating, working, playing, conersing with love and goodwill -- so it is in the church. Differences may arise, but if each and every gre remembers that Jesus advocated love -- to God and then to man --- as the two neces. sary laws to keep, it could be done, Only is the human pody in a heal- thy state when all its parts are functioning smoothly and mnormal- ly, in other words, harmoniously. So it would be with the Christian church if differences were forgot- ten--or kept in the background-- and all members lived together in love, loving God and loving each other.
