T~!U~!SDAY, 3A11. 2Oth, 1955 TH~ CANADIAN STATESMAN. ~OWMANV!LLE, ONTARYO Local Government is Sector' s Sermon To pic nnual Civil Service A good attendance of Baw- "manville Town Council memn- bers, Public School Baard trus- tees and other civic servants at- ýj.jended the fourth annual Civîc !Eâýrvice in canjunction with the rgular service at St. John's Anglican- Church Sunday night. The Rector, Rev. Warren N. Turner, welcomed the civic of- ficiaIs on behaîf of the congre- gation. "It is good for the lead- ers and citizens of the commun- ity ta begin the year's work ta- gether in God's house," he de- 'chared. Mr. Turner stated that he was basing bis sermon on a recent editorial in The Canadian States- man written by Editor George W. James in which he contended that County Councils are ob- solete, wastefui of the taxpay- ers' maney, and unncessary as Bey. Warren N. Turtier an instrument of government. " It is probably true that County Councils are economically oui of date, possibly even an ex- travagant luxury, I am flot pre- pared ta argue the matter," Mr. *Turner assertcd. What does concern me, however, and oughl ta concern you and every thinking Christian, is the ten- dency ta remove government - »--al gavernment and flot just rubber-st a mp government /Ij Upto210%l More HPfor You rTractor M&W Add-POW'R Pistons II mort angine poer. *New higher comprssIo._rutfo$ give smoother tractor performante These larger auminum alloy pistons * give your tractor more erigine dispiace. nient . ..

Plione 31A 3-5689 from the local community ta some central authority possibly many miles away." Concerned With Individuals Mr. Turner held that such re- mate government is impersonal government, whereas -ocal gov- ernments are likely ta be more concerned for the individual citizen. He pointed out, that most citizens know all their representatives on the town council or public and high school boards personally. "What coulicil does Monday night, its members may have ta answer for on Tuesday morning as soon as they hit the street, shop or factary. The law, which must lin its statement be impartial, can often be mitigated in its harshness at this local personal level!" The Rectdt stated that local government stihi has a heart and a sense of humour. "Personal relationships and the individual are still important", he declared. Turning ta the movement ta- ward centralization and con- solidation in aur schools, Mr. Turner stated that while larger units provide better facilities and more qualified teachers, the gains are on the economic and material level and there is often a loss on the personal level. "Every time you weld several small schools inta a larger area schooi, you take out of the local school district a teacher. By training and personality many of these teachers have been able ta make great contributions ta the welfare of the local com- Imunity", he asserted. "The local community is the poorer for the closing ol the local schoolhouse." Interested In Persans Pointing out that his sermon seemed more like a poitical ad- dress, Mr. Turner stated that the question of centralization of government does have Christian significance. "Jesus Christ was, and is, interested in persons trather than systems", he declar- ed. "He practically îgnored the *hated Roman Empire, and the *widespread system of slavery of His time, not because they were tunimportant, but because our Lord and Ris followers knew the individual ta be even mare *important. This concentration ton the individual and personal reiationships is one of the things that made Christianity unique then as now. It is out of this emphasis that democracy, as we know it, grew". The Rector pointed oûît that the great events of life such as birth, baptism, marriage and death are personal, individual matters. "Although God made man in His own image, yet each of us is different, each is an individual, each is unique" "You men ta whom we in Bowmanville have entrusted aur affairs this year bear a great reéjsonsibility", Mr. Turner de- clared. "You are responsible for a cammunity which is more than roads and streets, than public buildings, schools and water mains. More than taxes and government grants you are called ta exercise your offices in a community which is first of ail a society of individuais -, God's children located in this district". Special music during the service included an anthem "God Be In My Head" by the Boys' Choir, and the hymns "Faith of Our Fathers", "The People That in Darkness Sat", and "Take My Life and Let It Be Consecrated". Organist was Mr. John Smart. SALEM Members of the Sunday school held their annual meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. Shack- leton.
