Calling ln Address bo Rotary Spiritual, practical and sa- tisfying were the words used by Captain Norman Coles Of the Bowmanville Saivation Army ta describe his vocation ta the Bowmanville Rotary Club Fni- day. The occasion was his classifi- cation talk which every Rotar- jan is required ta give shortly after joinîng Rotary. Captaîn Coles came inta the Bowman- ville club last fall. Captain Cales was born in Canada but moved ta England with his parents at the age af six where he remained for 18 years. He returned ta bis na- tive land in 1951. Following his first post at Saint John, New Brunswick. he was trans- ferred ta Whitby and then Bow- manville. He and his wife both hoid the rank of Captain in the Salvation Armny. In explaining why he decid- ed ta devate full time ta the work of the Salvation Army Captain Cales pointed out that his parents and grandparents were Salvationists. "However there was na coercion in any of the decisions I had ta make, but rather they werc barn af an inner spiritual urge." *'I arn confident that 1 have been called bv God. because that inner urge has stoad the test of time.

"Once the actual response was made, ail doubts began ta Vaniish andu I had a peaceful and contented heart." Captain Cales went on to re- late how thé Salvation Army evolved ta its present worid Capt. Norman Coles renawn status starting with the founder Rev. William Booth, a former minister o! the aid Wesleyan Methodist Church, who wanted ta become a ful time evangelist. From its humble beginning in the east-end slums of Lon- don, England helpîng the poor and wretched af that district the Salvation Army spread ta 82 cauntries. Originally called "The Chris- tian Mission" William Booth feit that the name Salvation Army mare adequately des- cribed the movement. From then on it assumed a quasi-mul- itary flavour which brought about rank, unifarms, etc., for its members. The Army also bas its rules and regulations which carry the title "Orders and Regulations" although "Salvationism" would be a better titie, Captain Cales said. "The book teaches that the Salvationjst is expectcd to order his household with simplicity and decarum. His speech must be free from ail that is low. profane and unclean. He is called upon ta support the sal- vation war against sin ta the utmost of bis ability. The Sal- vationist must be a staunch ap- panent ta the use af alcoholic liquor, and if in a position a! authority, he can flot use ta- bacco." "The Salvatianist must use bis talents that they do not lead him inta a path which could lessen his lave and loyalty for Christ. Sa the injunctians run, covering every aspect af lufe. Sa complete a discipline holds him ta a narrow but a happy way." In addition the Salvationist is furnished with the Army's "Handbook af Doctrine" which h Want the job donc right? and fast?

"The ArmSr has cleven lead- ing doctrines. and broadly speaking, its doctrinal position is almast identical with that af the Protestant churches of Eu- rope and Amnerîca." Captain Cales ekplained ta tle- flôtarians that he obtaincd a deep satisfaction from "bcing able ta bring the ligfit of the glariaus Gospel message to thei spirituaily needy. ta yisit boy- eis which are cailed homes, ta bring comfort ta the distress- ed." "A Salvationist is a social workcr because be is primar- iiy a spiritual crusader. When ail is said and donc by the psy- chologist, wbase skiil and aid is respected and valued very much, the 51st Psalm is the key ta many a disorderly per- sonality: 'Against Thee, Tbe oniy, have I sinned, and donc this cvil in Thy sight. Create in me a dlean heart, 0 God, and~ ,rencw a right spirit wt me. "Whether we be Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian, United Church, Salvationist or any other denomination, we preach Jesus Christ because He is life ta us." "Througb Hlm aur lives be- came spiritual, practical and sa- tisfying," Captain Cales con-1 cluded. Captain Cales was introduc- ed by Rcv. T. A. Morgan and thanked by Ken Morris.

The building will be as fine as nioney, art and science can build. The exterior walls will be of time defying Bedford Stone and marble, the Inner walls of hardest reinforced concrete. AU metal work will be of copper and bronze. Since the first mausoleum was buiît i.n 353 B.C., which stili exists, for King Mausohus (froni whence we get the word mausoleum) such improvement in building materials has been made, that a double walled structure such as this is almost indestructible. It is of such strength that after a fewr hundred years when present cemetries are obscure and present grave markers are hast, leaning or fallen, this building will stand aut littie if any the worse for the time it has stood, as stane bQcDrAc 3 barder with time. PROGRESSIVENESS A growing demand for the Community Mausoleum is shown by the fact that so many such structures have been and are being built. While this particuhar section of the country have a few at the present time, in many sections of Canada they are predominant. In the past the excessive cost has made this type of burial out of reach af the average man but now it is actually cheaper than the average ground burial. OUR DUTY TO THE LIVING Sincc the beginning of tume it has been man's customn ta reverence bis dead and it becomes a comforting thought in any age ta know that one bas donc ahi passible and bas given his loved anc the most suitable resting place which the present time bas ta offer. This building provides a place wherc famihies rnay lie side by side in snow white compartments, high and dry, where neither water, dampness nom cold can enter. Embalming has reached such a high state of perfection that if a body is kept dry it wihl retain its present condition for centuries ta came. This was truc in Egyptian burials because they buried where water and dampness wvas non-existent, however water or mois- ture quickly nuIlifies ahi of this. Ta make provisions for a final restlng place, which wil be secure, ready, and anc which cannot be molested, is not only a duty owcd ta aur dead but is evidence ta the living of aur desire for their weli being bath now and for always. To put off ar- rangements until the time arrives is no better business than omittîng ather business transactions until the hast moment. In the case af death the grief is s0 great and decisions so nuni- emous that many regrettable and unchangeable mistakes are made. THERE 19 A BETTER WAY Froni time immemnorial it bas been customary in Europe for faniies ta select a final rcsting place for their members in advance ai actual needs. This sensible practice bas flow become the customn in Canada among thinking men and wamen. Death is no respector of persan or persans, and soaner or later evemy family must face bereavement. The average death follaws a period af heavy expenses, often accompanied by loss of incarne. The insurance that was intended for the care af the loved ones or the education of the chihdren is depleted and the famnily left in debt. A final resting place must be selected within a limited time, regardless of finances, weather, mental anguish or per- sonal inconvenience. Frcquently the chaice bas necessarily been left ta a disinterested outsider and toa aiten have such hasty arrangements been the cause af everlasting regrets. It is aiten truc that these sad but absolutely necessary arrangements are hampered by lack a! adequate funds or lack ai time and mental poise for the exercise ai ane's best judgment. We consign the inortal xemains ta a shallow earthly grave over which we have scant control at present and probably none in the future. A drive through a cemnetery which is no longer in use will show how quickly earthly burial is bhotted out, the grave and stone obliterated. OnIy'when the rtiind is undisturbed by gni(-f or financial uncertainty, can this important duty be disposed of calmly and mittee stated the tope were ready for finlshing through the kindness of Messrs. K. Ashby, H. Darke, H. Reeve, H. Best and A. Austin. A quilting bec, to, be an al day affair, was planned for the following Wcdnesday in the church basement. Refreshments were served by the hostess and her group and a vote of thanks extended ta them by vice-pre- sident. Mrs. Clarence Nicholis. About 12 members of the choir wcnt to Cobourg on Fni- day evening to entertain the folk at the county home. Instru- mental and vocal solos and duets besides numbers by the -whole group were much appre- ciated as were the cookies and candies given ta those who were able ta attend the concert and those who were confinedi ta bcd. Sunday morning was a slop- py time but nat very cold an.d there was a good attendance at Sunday School and church. Tujs Theysmeyer read the morning Scripture and Muriel Austin providcd the music for church service in the absence a! Mrs. Reeve. Mr. Theysmeyer sang "Ave Verum", "The Church" was the text ai Rev. Harding's sermon, and the fiowers for the service were a contrast-a de- licate shade af pink violet and a very dark chrysanthemurn. Mr. and Mrs. Don McColl of Western Ontario spent the weekend with the latter's par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Reeve. HIGHLY STYLED MODERATELY PRICED LADIES' WEAR La Vogue ga cq i/ne Cor. Athol & Celins. Oshawa 4 - fntelligently. Every famly deserves the iprotection which the ownership of Mausoleum space offers. REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SECURE SPACE Because: The same business judgment demands it, that prompts yau ta save maney, to carry lifé insurance and ta make your wihl. Now in the calm of heahth yau can consider and choose that which you think is best, an almost impossibilit)r when a death accurs and the famihy's mind and judgment is racked with despair. Because: Mausoleuni entombmcnt is a scientifie and civilized, as well as a sentimental mode of caring for the dead. The only way ta keep a body perfectly preserved after it bas been embalmed is by keeping moisture and dampness away from it. Because: At present the cost 15 no more and in most cases flot as much as ground burial when a lot, monument, steel vauU and other cemetery expenses are considered. The Build- ing is the monument, far surpassing ini size and beauty any other form of monument or memorial. Because: This mode of entombmcnt Is bath reasonable and scriptural. Our Lard was laid in a rock hewn crypt and early Christians followed this custom. The wealthier class of people have used this type of burial almost exclusivcly for many centuries and most of our national heroes have been buried in stane tombs or mausoleums. Modern mausoleums now make this type of burial in reach of almost everyone. Because: When you place the familiar form of any of your loved ones in this memorial, it wil1 be a great comfart ta know that they are at rest in a clean, dry, place free from the disagreeable features of ground brial. 13ecause: Preparation is wisdom's cure for worry - the only cure. Insuring the bouse does not prepare it ta burn, but prepares us ta live without worry as ta the ever present possib- ity of it burning. Providing for mausoleum protection is not prepaning ta die, it is preparatian ta live without worry as te the ever present possibility of loved ones dying and being placed in damp cold graves. #Because: It is an investment. It cannot be damaged or destroycd and wilh be worth more in later years than it is ria*w. Due ta the fact that when a Community Mausoleum is bulît in a town this size, all space is contracted for before it is built; therefore space is limited ta those who have baught. and cannot be used except by those, unless one of the owners desires ta seli bis or her interests. THE INEVITABLE - FOR WHICH WE SHOULD PREPARE If you desire ta be prepared and assure yourself and family a permanent and dlean restîng place, you should inquire for particulars about the mausoleum to be erected in your town. The cost naw is in mast cases nat as much as ground burial when ail expenses are consîdered. Reservations should be made early because the amount of space is limited. In the event af death between the time of securing space and the completion af the Mausoleum, the expense of renting a receiving vault will be borne by the company. In the event anyone has relatives aI- ready buricd in the ground and desires them sp e, arrangements can be made for the transfer.V WHERE WILL YOU PLACE YOUR LOVED ONES You have the chaice af only three modes of burial. Ground bunial which means a cold. black, damp grave. Crema- tion in which lire biots out name, form and memory. Burial in a mausoiuem with its dry snow white compartmcnts af stone and marbie. Which shall it be? Eventually you must decide. This project is being financed and supervised by Victor R. Toakey, Toronto.
