PAGE m TEE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE. OUTARIO THURSDAY. 3ULY 201h. 1905 Religion for Today On Being Sympathetic A Weekly Talk By 2ev. RILR. Nicholson What the world needs today is not criticism, but sympathy. Ail around us are sad and lone- ly men and women with great sorrows and burdens to bear, and innumerable afflictions to endure. They are yearning for ,sympathy, but it rarely occurs to us that our friends are in need of help. We should have in our land more men like "The 'good gray, poet, Walt Whitman, who neyer saw suffering without himself suffering." During the American Civil War he devoted bis 111e to nursing, comforting and cheering the wounded and dymng soldiers in the military hospitals. He did this great work free of charge to the Un- ited States, and made this ex- traordinary sacrifice because of his vast love for his fellowmen, and his passionate sympathy. IlBefore the war closed he had made about six hundred hospital visits; cared, to a greater or less extent, for near- ly a hundred thousand unfor- tunates, and expended many thousands of dollars. Friends in New York and elsewhere, sup- plied him with money for the work." Of ail available means for carrying on his benevolent work, by far the most valuable asset was his own large heart, r ulsating with immeasurable love and sympathy. What is sympathy? It is en- tering into the lives of others NONET AVÀnI.LIE FOIR MOITGAGES HALPE S. JONES BarrInter and Solcittor £5 Elmco. St. 8. Oshawa RA 5-3525 and sharing with them their feelings, their sufferings their joys and sorrows. Sympathy cheers, comforts, strengthens and inspires. Expectant sympa- thy calis out the very best that is in us. «'Of course I succeed- ed," exclaimed Louis Pasteur, the great scientist, "How could I help it, when from my earli- est boyhood everybody expect- ed that I would succeed?" One Sunday morning after the service, an Old Scotchman approached bis pastor and said: "Minister that was a worth- while sermon." As the man was the greatest critic in the congregation. the minister won- dered what it was that made the sermon worth while ta this theologian of the pew. "«He discovered that it was not the theological element, or the log- ical power, but a note to which the pastor tbought the old man would neyer respond, 'the sym- pathy of Jesus'. There was something in the sermon that met a need in the man's soul, for he bad been tbrough ex- periences which, whiie leaving hîm outwardly unchanged, had made his beart cry out for the living God, and the sermon that day had corne as a message from above." One day I was talking to a group o! women, who were dis- cussing church affairs. One of them suddenlyexclaimed: "«Our minister's greatest weakncss is his lack of sympathy". I asked hier: "How do you know?" She answered quietly: 11 know be- cause bis sermons and prayersý are always cold. They are de- livered without any o! that quality, which is called "the human touch". Ccrtainly tbey do not touch your heart. You feel this especially in the fun- eral services, which he con- ducts. They are cold and for- mal. Yau are not conscious that the preacher has the art of put- ting himself in the lace of the mourners, and that he bas feul- owship with them in their pain and sorrow, and the ineffable feeling of cruel separation and e Fer Besedts..

Ma words and ¶prayers apparently do not corne from a warm heart of sympa-i thy, but mnerely from the pray- er-book or note-book, which he 's reading." Sympathy is sornething thati we ail can cultivate. In the biography of Rev. Dr. R. W. Dale, the famous preacher o!i Birmingham, England, we are, told that he was not sympathe- tic by nature and often gave offence unwittingly. "The fa-1 culty so freely bostowed on1 some, he had te cultivate sedu-1 ously and patiently, as one off the moral virtues. Even when he feit deeply, he found it hard to express his feeling. He wasi conscious of his defect, and set! himiself to overcome it, nlot as a mere infirmity, but as a fault. Ho became symipathetic by 1 sympathizing; and as it not in- frequently happons, the facul- ty se acquired proved the stronger and the richer for the effort and the trouble it had cost in the winning." The Rev. Sidney M. Berry, the distînguished English prea- cher and author, says in one of bis books:- "Sympathy, whether ini aur private relationships or in our public responsibilities, lu the clearest reflection and the surest evidence of the Spirit of Christ in our hearts; it is the attractive force ever at work drawing individual souls to the Master; and in the world at large it is the power which is sloly utsurely building upi Rotarians View Ne Story of St. Lawrenc The regular weekly luncheon meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club was held at "The Flying Dutchmanl' on July 24th with President George Vice presidlng.

In introducing Mr. McCallumi and the film, Rotarian Ross Strike observed that the pro- ject had involved the relocat- ing o! a total of 6,500 persons, the moving o! 125 houses, the creation of several complete new towns, and the building of new stretches of railways and highways. AIl this had been done with an absolute minimum o! inconvenienceta the persons bw Film re Seaway [involved and, most important, at no financial loss to the fam- ilities whose homes, farms and places o! business were relocat- 'ed or replaced. Mr. Strike contrasted this with the story recently brought back from Russia by Dr. Otto Holden o! Ontario Hydro. In the larger bydro-electric pro- jocts of Russia, thousands o! porsons were dispossessed. They were simply told "We are tak- ing your land. Get out!". Fam- ilies were forced to move to new farming districts, often in the wilds, without any compen- sation for their financial or ma- tonial losses. Despite Canada's time-con- suming democratic processes, the St. Lawrence Power Project proceeded with amazing speed. The original plans were brought up to date by a complete re- survey in 1952 and, as soon as agreement with the United States was reached, actual con- struction commenced on Au- ust lOth, 1954. Little more than four years later, the project was compieted and the first electric power !lowed out for the homnes and factories o! oui' rapidly growing province. Resounding ta the credit o! Canadian engineering skill and responsible in large measure for the speed of construction iwas the developrnent by Hydro. pouring concrete even in sub-: zero weather. This permitted ..mntliruous, year-round work on the power house and dam that now bear the name of the1 former Hydro Chairman, the:, late Robert Saunders. President Vice presented Mr. McCallum with a memento o! bis visit and moved a hearty vote of thanks for a splendid program. ~EALLY ~J.
