THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1933 Churches Using Too Much Ballyhoo and Hocus-Pocus in Raising Money At a recent conference of Anglican Young People in Toronto, tbe therne "Courage and Co-operation for Christ and Cburch" waa carried through several sessions, greatly inspiring the 800 young people who attended the gatbering. There can be no doubt that at no time in the history of any church bas there been such a need for courage and co-operation in facing the task of carrying on the great work o! propagating the gospel in Canada and throughout tbe entire world. There is a deplorable lack 0f sincerity, service and co-operation among many so-called Christians. For these very reaaons. citizens are being pestered ta death with ticket sellera. Church organizations of every denomination have concocted all manner of means to raise f unds to carry on their work. There are church teas, suppers, picture shows, bazaars, raffles, concerts, dramas, card parties, home-made cooking sales, and other commercialized rnoney rais- mng stunts guaranteed to fill your stomach, tbrill and entertain you or give you sometbing for notbing, ail because a. lot o! people have ceased giving their f ree- wlll Sunday offerings ta the cburch, wbiie others thmnk tbey are f ooling the Lord by dropping a big nickel on the collection plate which looks like a quarter of a dollar, but actually is only a Canadian 5C piece. There is no doubt in our mind that if every adher- ent or member of the Bowmanviile churches gave ac- cording to their means and in the good old f ashioned way. or gave even haîf the old Bible stipulation of a "tithe" there would be no need wbatever for church organizations to work their heads o!ff with a lot of ballyhoo and bocus-pocus in an endeavour to keep their beloved and sacred ship upon an even keel. We contend. and have always contended, that any- one who calîs himself a Christian should support bis or her cburch, not only morally and spiritually. but financially. There is a certain type of person, too, wbo neyer attends a church, and 0f ten boasts about it, and yet this same individual ia ready and willing to caîl upon the church for aid when in need. If it is flot forthcoming they belabour the church for its inhumanity. and point to it as a professing Christian organization that makes no attempt to carry out Christs command to do unto o thora as they would be done by. It is tîme that some of these people measured up to, their obligation and realized that it takes money to operate a churcli. It did f rom earliest times and it still does. If the church is to fulfill its mission as the greatest institution in a community it muat have the sYmpathetic and generous support of everyone. Canada Ils No Place for Communis and Their Obnoxious Propaganda Despite the Ibreat off communism and ils endeav- ours 10 upset responsible governmnent n limes that are far from good, il la really refresbing 10 bear Hon. Geo. H. Challies, Provincial Secretary, in bis address bore before the Canadman Club state that there bas been a substantial decrease in crime in Ontario dur- ing the depression. CommuniaIs have always amazed us wth their lack o! balance. We know that if we rented a bouse and the bouse did not satisfy, we would move 10 some bouse that was satisfactory. We suggest that therein lies the best method o! bandling the agitating com- munista wbo wisb to disrupt the established institu- tions of this country with their obnoxious propa- ganda. These soap box orators who attempt 10 disrupt every form off government, who want civil war. wvho wish t0 upset every tradition that bas been tosted through centuries off responsîble British robe, are quit.e apparently fol Canadian by birth. They have adopted the Dominion as their home but immediately start trouble and strife with ideas and ideala that can neyer be accomplisbed. We suggest that mon of Ibis type, who are nol satisfled with Canada. beave the country and go some place wbere they wiîl recemve the Irealmient they wish. If Russia presents the type of commercial lite they desire, why nol go to Russia and lie happy, why even try 10 change a quite apparentl3' satisfied people? Off course there are newspapers wbo want 10 pam- per this type of individual, who suggesl that every agitator who is deported is doomed 10 die in the country 10 î;hicbho is sent. If thîs isý the case our advîce 10 these agitators would bce 10 sttîlo doîvn in Canada and lie content with a goverfiment that will flot doom them 10 die. If thoy cannot be satisffled wilh Canadian iffe, thon lot them depart 10 any country which will take them in, and Canada will be well rid of this undesirable clasa that is doing its ut- most 10 destroy the liberty and peace of Ithe nation. It Was Always Thus-Few Do the Work While Others Take the Credit With a big flourisb and with overy prospect of success ahead an organization of business mon was forrned in Ibis town about lwo years ago. Its first year was an outstanding succes.s. Its lwo Commun- ily Pîcnics were the envy off many towna throughout the province and many othe' off ils activities have dlstinctly beneftted the community. This current Year bas seen the association sponsor a basebaîl teamn and the layîng out off the flnest basebaîl diamond in the Lake Shore League. For these works. the organization known as the Business Men's Association bas recelved the credit. But is the Business Mens Association desorving off this credil? We would answer witboul any hesîta- tion that the Association as a whohe la not deserving o! the credit as an organized group. Rallier is the credit due 10 about a dozon broad-mindod and public spirited business mon wbo bave put their heart and soul into the organlzation's activities, while others have set back. at limes back-biting and criticizîng and at opportune limes bave actually taken credit as Il came along unblushlngly. At a meeting of the Association ast week less than ten members turned out to the meeting. As is usual it was the same group of men who have worked to make the association's activities a success. The others stayed home or were too busy to corne. The time has corne, however. when those merch- ants who call themselves live business men. who are truly interested in their town beyond their own busi- ness must join with the others in saving the Business Mens Association f rom a death of senile decay and lack of interest. To say that the Association has been of value to the towr ist the truth, but to suggest that ail merchants have done their fair share. la far from the truth. If merchants wish to stand alone and do nothing to make conditions better or to attract people to the town, then the Business Men's Association as a work- ing organization might just as well put up the shut- ters and hang out the crepe. But Bowrnanville ia too good a tovrn to do that. Let every business man get bebind the Association in its program 0of activity. In this way only can it be a successful organization and a benefit to the cornmunity. Christmas Spirit Prevaiiing The season of the year brings to mind the great purpose behind the firat Christmnas message. Many years have passed since that great event was herald- ed when il was announced that the prince of peace was born. Since that event there bas been a lot of history written. Peace bas not become a reality. At the present lime there are deela rumbles of war and disturbances. The whole oif the universe is upset be- cause men refuse to recognize their duty to their fel- 10w men. This is the season of the year wben al should strive to uphold the ideal spirit of love. Down ahl sel.ish desires and share with the other f ellow. Bring happinesa and cheer into the home by giving a little fellowship and that loving hand. If everyone would strive to put int practice the spirit of the sea- son there would be a changed world. People can spread the gospel of peace. Communi- ties should do all in their power to bring about btter relationships. Countries should make a sincere ef- fort t0 further a lasting peace. Then there would be a general world wide peace movement started. It would not be a legislation movement but rather ed- ucational. This would unite alI in one great family compact. Nations woutd become helpful and loving to each other. People would live in peace and con- tentment. Why alI this change? Because men would realize that the greateat joy in if e la ta be found in doing something for someone else. If you do not believe this juat try it out and you will bo convinced. It is what is needed in the world today. This is the season of the year to put it into effect. Shop In Comfort People have the idea that they must go out of town to shop. Tboy get into the habit of making them- selves believe that the only place where they can satisfy their needs is in the city stores. This is an absolute falla cy. You can secure, here. locally all you need and get a better service. Consider cost of the trip to the city. Consider the crowded stores and the impossibility of shopping in comfort. Consider the ventilation and air condition to which you are subjected. Consider your own tired being with every sales resistance broken. Consider some of the bad, yes very bad, bargains that you have made in your city shopping. Af ter making these considerations ask yourself if you could flot have done better lo>cally. It is a known fact that you can do your shopping locally much more advantageously if you will only make the effort. There is nothing that you really need generally that cannot be purchased here. The trouble is you have an idea that it can not be done and you just drift out of town. If this community is to be but the people living here must be willing ta support the merchants. The merchants are the backbone of the cornmunity. They psy the big shot of the taxes and lend their efforts toward building the place. Will you not weigh this matter seriously in your mind and do more of your shopping lo>cally. Get to know your local merchants and you wiU find that they are a fine lot. They know your needs and boy to meet your demands. If you will support them they will support you. Buy aIl that you need right here and thus shop in comfort. Editorial Notes It's perfectly possible in the average community to have good government if the people want it and pull together to get it.-Neil M. Clark. The not untimely query has been made as to whether sudden acquisition of wealth or sudden re- versai to penury entails the greater strain on char- acter, says The Estavan Mercury. A needy laborer unexpectedly finds bimself a man of means by grace of a lottery ticket; his wif e may ride in an expensive auto. his children deck out in costly clothing and his neiglibors 100k Oon him with envy. Does dis.sipation duil his wit and sbrivel the right arm that was once his pride, or does he continue to radiate good cheer andi confidence? His neighbor, long used to the sweets and privileges of great material possessions, awakes suddenly to realize that a turn of fortune has ef t him destitute; friends of other days forget him and the shadow of want hangs over bis borne. Does he turn in bitterness and despair to curse his fate. or do memories of past triumphs steady his faith and spur to new effort? Wbat is the subsequent history of these playthings of fortune? It is on their re- action to the whims of fate that the moral fibre of a people may be measured. Up in Simcoe the subject off tbe erection off a new wing 10 the Higb School ia undor discussion and off course there are plenty off cilizena straddling the fonce. somte for and some agamnat. Tho Reformer very aptby suma up the situation by saying: "The chief argument heard against the proposed achool addition ia the old saw. 'What was good enough for my ffatieî' is good enough for me.' And generally the people wlio say this, wear overshoes with zip- pers. dr-ive cars in preference 10 horses, prefor elec- trîcîty 10 coal oul lampa, and neglect the farnily al- bums 10 go to the movies." There are always many who make feeble excuses 10 prevent a natural trend towards better and more modern thinga. Bowman- ville was ffaced wiîh the saine situation when it erect- ed ils nemw high school, and no doubt those who were s0 much opposed 10 Ilie school on the saine grounds as mentioned above would like 10 return to a muddy main street with wooden sidewalks, the drafty and inconvenient outhouse, tlie ml ventilated and stuffy achools off fifty yeara ago. and the ohd hand fire on- gine.
