PAGE TWO THE CANADIAN 8TATESPLAN. BOWMANVLLLE. THURSDAY, APRIL gth, 1931 ORATORY OR MEMORY TEST?' The teachers of the Public Sehools. the members of the Home and School Club and the contestants i the annual Oratorical CantesL an April lsL arc ta be heartiiy commen- ded f or their eff orts and f or the f ine evening's entertainent. Everyane wba took part ,without any excep- tions, did their part well and werc a credit, not only ta their scbool and teachers but to, the own. The enun- clation was good, the grammar Uike- wise, and the speeches were deliver- d i a style worthy of students much aIder than those taking part. However while we bave no besi- tation in congratulating thase taking part and those responsible for the contest we are stiUl of the opinion that this style of oratorY is not i the best interests of the pupii. At the High Scboal contcst on March 3rd anc o! the judges remarked that the style of contest where the con- testant wrote Uis or ber speech and thon mcmarlzed it was nat really good oratory. Oratory i iLs truc sense is a knowhedge of a subi cct and the abilty La deliver iLi the f orm o! an oration witb or withouL the use of notes. The very best orators are flot men wha memorize a written speech but men wbo are able ta speak fhuently on a given subject. The learning ai a speech by bcart doms not give the speaker the op- portunity that is given a reai orator, o! injectig humor and making bis speech applicable ta anythig that might bappen n hiUs audience or migbt have happened since that speech was last delivered. The type of oratory used in ast Wednesday's cantest aithough teach- ing the pupils the art of seli-expres- sion and of good enunciation was never-tbe-less mare of a memary test than an oratorical effort an the part o! the student. QIETTING OUT A PAPER ît is a common fauht of men te tblnk that if Lbcy tackled the job th.e ather feilow 15 ding tbey cauhd niake a mucli better success of iL ths.n the anc who makes that par- ticular job Uhi e business. Haven't you often heard some anc say, "Now, if I wcre doing i, etc." Yes but if yau actually wcre, would the result be any better? Thcre's the point. Speaking a! a busiess witb wbicb we ame conversant, we bave seen an article which reccntIy appeared i Linotype News rcproduced by paper atter paper which makc the state- ment that on many occasions theyl have heard the opinion exprcssed that il they were given the opportun- ity tbcy could put out a paper that wouid be an improvement on any paper put out i their town. Couid they for instance, asks the Linotype News do as suggested belaw: "Oetting out a newspaper is a fas- cinatig task, but aiso a diificuit ane." says the Linotype News, ad- ding, "No ather job that cornes to mi.nd is quite so taxing, sa hurried. or demands greater pains.

This is not truc unless hey bave gone through the mili. "Were iL nat for the peculiar f as- cination associated with newspaper wark there would be no newspapers for there is ne greater task-master and money alone would be far to scant compensation." VETERANS' MEMORIAL Faurteen years ago today, Aprîl 9tb, the men of Canada jumped out of their assembly trenches and starmed the heights of Vimy Ridge ta win anc of the mast gloriaus Can- adian victories of the Great War. Attacking together for the flrst time as a uniitcd Canadian corps the four Canadian divisions made the name af Canada ring throughaut the civ- ilized world. It was a great victory but won at a tremendaus cost. for wben the smoke of battie bad clear- cd away, housands af the galant sons of the Dominion lay on the baLtlc fields neyer ta risc again. From coast La Coast ta-day the sacrifices of these galant men are beig remembcred with gratitude. They gave al lbtey had ta give and died i defence of their country and Empire and the dear ones they bad lcf t at home . They are remembered with pride for tbey gave a new meaning to the word Canadian and to-day hey are honaurcd with rev- erence by the comrades who were witb hem on that day and who werc spared Lo came back. Memoriais, beyond number, have been raised ta their memory but none have been quite so effective or so striking as the memoriai which bas been creatd i their han- or by their returned camrades.

JOHN WESLEY AND BIS WOK IL could hardiy be expected that a great spiritual work such as was bs couid be carried on wlthotlin drance and insult. When bis moral 1 character was slandered by f lerce lopponents, bis faith rose intoý sub- limity, as lie said, "Brother. when I gave to God my life, my Lime, my ail,1 I did not leave my reputation out." Some one wrote a scurrilous article concerning him, and he was asked if he were flot gomng to reply to, it he said, No, you cannot wrestle with a chimney sweep without becoming smutted." When Whitfield was preaching an the commons they threw dead caLs at him, but he shouted, "Throw more dead cats; they will only enrich the soil upon which we mean to raise great bar- vests for our God." Some of Mr. Weslcy's character- istics. in addition ta the one noticed -bis indefatigable industry-were benevolence-he said. "I have two silver spoons in London and two in Bristol, and I shail not buy any more while so many around me want bread." His charity led him not to, suspect evil in others, and iL was difficult La make hlm thlnk that any intended ta deceive him. His moder- ation in argument was so remarkable that one of bis unfi endly crltlcs re- marked, "He kcpt his temper and bis graund." His gits were large and frecjuent and in bis wlU be sald, "I adjure my executors that I be car- ried ta my grave by six poor men and let this be my epitaph: "Here lieth the body of John Wesley, a brand plucked f rom the burning, who died of consumptian, leaving af- Ler bis funeral expenses were paid, not ten paunds." In hbis eighty-seventh year he said, "I arn now an aid man, but blessed be God, I can write and preach yet." andi he continued La preach f rom two ta four sermons a day. Ai ter preach- mng on February l7th, 1791, he took cold. continued with difficulty ta preach until Wednesday following, when lie preached bis last sermon. On March 2nd.,1781, at the age of eighty-eight years-having spent sixty-five years in the ministry-he passcd away, exclaiming, "The best of al, God is with us." There were two doctrines Mr. Wes- ley neyer Lired of prcaching. One of tbem was the universality of the a- tonement. as voiced i one of Charles Wesley's .hymns: "Sent by my Lord on yau I cal The invitation is toaal, Corne ail the world, came sinner thau, Al lhings in Christ are ready naw.' Nor vas he less earnest in declar- ing that salvatian is a present deliv- erance from guilt and dominion of sin, attested to the heart by the di- rect witness of the Spirit, and de- monstrated ta the world by the over- powering evidence of a new if e. These doctrines and the athers that were grauped about them, he publisbed nat only Lhrougb the in- strumentality of spaken sermons and printed tracts and books, but aisa through the medium of fervent and joyeus hymns. Thaugli Charles Wes- ley surpassed ail men as a writer of sacred poetry, John alsa was richly cndawed in the same direction. The two brathers set the Gospel ta music, and put their converts ta singing like traops of angels. Rev. Dr. Cuyler said that "Methodism was builded rapidly but the walls wauld nat bave gone up sa fast bad they nat been 'bult ta music.' " and Rev. Dr. TaI- mage stated that "ane great char- arteristic of the Methodist Chuch was that iL had been a smnging chur- c h. Their Lhraats are different or their hearts are different. They sang Stheir way all over England and the hawling of persecutian cauid nat si- lence them." His long and active life was ab- solutely given Up ta the glary of Qed and the service of bis fellow men. Nor was ho taken away withaut being permitted ta see the fruit of his labor. For many years befare bis departure, he was the recognized and venerated leader of large and com- pact religiaus organizatians on bath sides of the Atlantic. In the differ- ent quarters of the globe there are ;omething more than thirty-twa mil- ions of the people called Methodists. How well does Charles Wesley de- scribe the pragress of the gaod work in his immartal bymn: "Sce haw great a flame aspires. Kindled by a spark of grace! Jesus' love the nations f ires Able histarians have written vol- umes to more fuliy record bis work. This is necessarily a very meàgre .ccaunt of the man and bis almast uper-human labars. and these facts are flot mentianed ta boast af tbem. but tbey are nevertheless f acts that munst be accaunted for in some way.

Each branch was to be a "community bank", to serve first in the interests of the district, and, secondly, to place its customers in contact with a nation- wide and world-wide service. This modern, far-reaching banking service is of the utmost value to every progressive farmer.
