PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1948 Mrs. Wallace Is Guest Speaker Columbus W.A. MARY M. DYER Correspondent Columbus, Feb. 26--The Wom- |: an's Association met in the church on Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Naglor, president, in - the chair. e meeting opened with singing of a hymn, Mrs, Wilson took charge of the devotional period reading the Scripture after which Mrs. Searle gave the explanatory read- ing and the prayer. Another hymn was sung and Mrs. Wilson read a poem to close the worship service. The' roll call was answered by "A good book I have read and its author. After the business had been dealt with, Mrs. W. Scott favored with a piano solo. Mrs. R. A. Wallace, Oshawa, was the guest speaker and was very ably intro- duced by Mrs. Ray Scott. Mrs. Wallace chose as her topic, "Cana- dian Poets," reading some of their poems after giving some of their characteristics. Mrs, Wallace gave her paper in a very pleasing man- ner and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. A vote of thanks was iven by Mrs. Pereman to Mrs. allace for having brought her message to the ladies of our W.A, The meeting closed with the Miz- pah benediction. The committee in eharge served lunch in the Sunday School room and a social hour was spent. The Women's ' Association have sent two parcels to a needy family in England. This' family consists of three girls, 14, 12 and 9 years of age, and two boys, 6 and 3 years of age. I am sure that our Associ- ation is very happy to know that in some small way we have brought joy to someone across the sea. The following is a portion of the second letter we haye received: Dear Mrs. Miller and Ladies of the C.U.C.W.A.: I am pleased to let you know we received your par- cel on Thursday, Feb. 19, and for which I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot put into words my feelings, but I am sure you will understand. I do not think you realize the enormous good you are doing, for there are some things you have sent us again that we have not seen for years. Well, ladies, the children have their photos taken at school, in the summer time, and I am going to send you one as soon as they have them taken. I do not know when it will be but I am making you this promise. Well, Mrs. Miller, the new cloth you put around the parcel I am making into a table cloth; if it had been a shade bigger I should have made two dresses for Gladys and Marjorie, but I dare not make one because it would only come to trouble in some shape or form, We are getting a bit more margarine now and a small amount of sugar, 80 I think things are looking up a bit in the Old Country. Ladies, I asked you in my last letter, if there was anything I could do in return, believe me I will do anything in my power because you cannot realize these good deeds till they come your way. If I could only express my feelings in words it would give me some satisfaction but I cannot, so I am leaving it to you Mrs, Miller, to do so because I am sure a lady doing the work that you and the other ladies are doing will understand. , Well I will close for now, thank- ing you once again for your good- ness, I remain, "your indebted friend, Gladys Merrit, Mr. and Mrs, Catherwood awd family visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Russel Lane, Scout Dinner (Continued from Page 1) Games with the Jerry Winters Memorial Trophy for the outstand. ing scout of the year in the 1st Osh. awa Scout Troop, which was a great surprise to Russell, zbut which had the support of all the scouts. At this point in the evening Rev. H. 1). Cleverdon gave a short story which told of the suffering of the European children, where he asked all the hove, su their parents that were present to give their support to the drive, : The entertainment for the even. ing was presented by the 4th Scout Troop of Bowmanville who put on a very good show. "Spike" Jones came into his own in some of the num. bers that were put on, and this went over big with the audience. "Oscar", the trained flea, went through his routine in great form, performing back flips and such, but when he landed on one of the cubs heads by mistake, the boy thought the entertainment was going too far. However after very careful search "Oscar" was found and things ended up safely. The evening closed with a vote of thanks by Mr. Wotten the chair. man of the Scout Committee, which was replied to by the 8/M of the Bowmanville troop. Mr. Daniels then led the group In the Lords nrayer which was followed by scout ~lence. Pop Concert (Continued from Page 1) "Where'er You Walk." Clear dic- tion and tones of purity faded slightly on the lower notes but the boy's upper register was certainly inspiring to hear. He sang the Welsh folk song "Cyfri'r Geifr" with color, and "The Sunshine of Your Smile" with feeling intense for such a youth. Unlike numerous children attempting the fete of singing With expression, Bruce possessed that quality which comes from the heart, giving his selec- tions 'a realness. "Will You Remember?" by Rom- berg, "When Irish Eyes are Smil- ing" by Ball and May H. Drake's "Bless This House" brought tre- mendous applause from the audi- ence who heard: for 'the guest ar- tist's encore, the tuneful "Clorin- da." Mr. Gouldburn's accompani- ment was occasionally ignored by Bruce whose breathing may have been the cause. but his presenta- tion was extremely pleasing. 4 Leads Building Drive REV. A, W. WHIERESD Pastor of Calvary Baptist hurch, which is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with a campaign for funds for a mew bulding. . Ancient Building Recalls Pioneers Of Upper Canada By DENIS CASE Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto--(CP)--1It's a safe bet that many York County residents don't know that within the shadow of their county administration build- ing in downtown Toronto men have been hanged for treason, and that up the worn front steps county re- presentatives have attended sessions for more than 100 years. Those 51 members of the York County Council, representing the six towns, eight villages and 12 townships of York, who go between the grey stone pillars thrice yearly for sessions, are members of a gov- ernment tha thas undergone many changes in its 156 years of exist- e. Containing the Dominfon's second largest city and the heart of Can- ada's economic life, York County has built up a population of 963,173 --more than four times as large as any other Ontario county. The council is the second largest and second oldest municipal government in Canada. The country was .proclaimed by John Graves Simcoe, first lieuten- ant-governor of Upper Canada, in 1792, and since has been governed by three separate bodies as its boundaries were reduced from an area now covering about 17 coun- ties to its present size, The hall, where council holds its sessions and police court is held day, is in keeping with the coun- ty's tradition. Last remaining build. ing in the large area once owned by. the county, it~houses the first cir- cular staircase built in Ontario. Hidden at the back of the three- storey building, the deeply-hollowed steps of the staircase lead to. the top floor where once the Ontario Assizeg were held. Legend has it that a prisoner, on receiving the death sentence, leaped from the railing as he was led from court, 2 fell to his death two storeys be- ow. Not far from the hall there are the remains of another structure, the county jail. County officials are not sure whether it is the first: or second county jall--what there is left of it. The city has grown around the building and now all that is left are the walls surround- ing the courtyard where Lount and Matthews, supporters of Willlam Lyon Mackenzie, were hanged for their part in the Upper Canada Re- bellion -of 1837. Across from the hall on the other side of the street is the only other county stronghold--police head- quarters. The county constabulary dates back to 1788 when its duties were to police the district of Nas- sau, now the county itself. At that time the districts of Nassau, Hesse, Luneberg--also known as Lunen- berg--and Meckleberg, formed Up- per Canada, Later, in 1794, the dis- tricts were re-named East, West, Central and Home and the Nassau police took the name of Home Dis- trict Constabulary. When the United Counties were formed in 1851, the United Coun- ties constabulary was named and policed the present area of Peel, York, Simcoe, Ontario, Durham and Northumberland counties -- the peak of its authority. Since 1851 municipalities have formed their own police forces and the duties of the county police have been reduced until now there is a staff of only 12 men and one wo- man to supervise the one-and-two- man stations north to Lake Simcoe.

It you do not quite remember tfe apostle Philip, he is one of the seven in the early Christian church in Jerusalem to supervise the distribu. tion of alms to the widows of the congregation. He was a very devout man and seems to have been held in great esteem by the apostles cf the church in Jerusalem, for the entire eighth chapter of Acts is devoted to his ministry. Philip received a visit from an angel of the Lord, who told him to go "toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem un- to Gaza: the same is desert." Gaza was an ancient Philistine city, made famous in the story of Samson. It was a strong fortress two miles from the sea, at the southernmost end of Palestine, toward the Egyptian bor- er. Philip wasted no time after get- ting the message, but started at once for this distant place over rough roads, no doubt, and desert. Now as he walked along a man came by in a chariot, and as he rode he read from the prophet Isaiah. This man was a eunuch, an Ethl opian returning from Jerusalem where he had been to worship. He was a man "of great authority," it is written, who held a position of great trust under Candace, queen of Ethiopia, "Who has charge of all her treasure." Candace, we are told, was not the queen's name, but her title, like governor, tetrarch or pharaoh. Philip Approaches Chariot Prompted. by the inner spirit, Philip approached the chariot and heard the eunuch read part of the scripture. He asked the eunuch if he understood what he read. The eunuch said, "How can I, except, some man should guide me?" and he asked Philip to get in th ~ riot beside him. Philip did so, and this was the scripture which he read: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 'In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall de. clare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth;" Isaiah's prophecy of<the coming Christ and His trial and death, The eunuch asked who this re. ferred to, the prophet or some other man? "Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus." Probably the Ethiopian had never heard of Jesus, but eagerly listened to what Philip had to say, and believed in his message. So eager was this man to become a Christian that, as they rode along and came to some water (some think it was Philip's Fountain, so- called), he said, "See, here is wa. ter; what doth hinder me to be bap- tized?" Philip answered him, "IIf thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." He commanded the chariot to stand still, and both went down to the water, Philip and the eunuch, and Philip baptized him. After the baptism, Philip was miraculously snatched away and the eunuch "saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing." We know no more about this Ethiopian. He is never mentioned again, and we also hear no more of Christianity in Ethiopia until the fourth century when Christian lay- men started a mission there. Ethiopia was much in the news in recent years as the country attack. ed by the Italians before World War 11, and conquered by them in the late Mussolini's mad ambition to enlarge the Roman empire. The Italian armies, with modern weap. ons of war, conquered the country, but the occupation was short. Haile Selassie, king of Ethiopia, fought with his armies until the cause was hopeless, then went to the League of Nations for help. Not getting it, he retired to England, and after the defeat of the Italians by the Brit- ish, Haile Selassie was restored to his throne. How did the eunuch happen to be "worshipping in Jerusalem?" He was the queen's treasurer, and as such might easily have met Jews through business and financial transactions. He was what was called a "proselyte of the gate." He could not enter into the inner temple because of be- ing an eunuch, but his devotjon to the Jewish religion is proved by his journey of some 200 miles to wor- ship in the holy city. What's Your Hurry? (By Rev. R. Barclay Warren) We don't hear the question, "What's your hurray?" so often now because--well, just ancut everybody is in a hurray. It is especially evi- dent in the city with its speedy as- sembly lines, its streaming traffic, and the generally higher tempo. Just where 1s this hurry taking us? Excessive speed Is an element in the majority of highway acci- dents 111" g thousands and injur- ing mau, more. The nerves of some are becoming frayed leading to irritability, particularly in the home. Others are developing heart conditions inviting an early death. But even at death the hurry is not over. A minister came from a pas- torate in a small town to a large city, He was surprised when asked by the undertaker to limit the ser- vice to twemty minutes, The parlors had to be cleared and prepared for another funeral to follow. But still another surprise awaited him. In the community where he had been, a funeral was something of an event In fine weather the people lingered lony, conversing and reviv- ing memories of friends who had departed. But here, the benediction pronounced, the minister was hur- ried to a waiting car and it moved on to make way for another proces- sion coming up to a grave in an ad- joining plot. Yes, we are hurried. But for all our hurry, have we more time to read the Bible and meditate and' pray? Are wa running ourselves ragged and missing the most im- portant factor in happy living? "Wait on the Lord: be of. good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I gay on the Lord." Ps. 27:14, The Golden Text The student Christian.
