Letter to the Editor 838 Wilton Crescent Woodstock, Ontario Oct. 17, 1973. Dear Sirs: I am trying to find inform- ation about my grandfather. His name w.'.as Reuben Carroll Grant. I have been informed that in 1866 or 1867 he owned or was editor of the Bowmanville Statesman in partnership with John Wesley Fletcher. Could you verify this for me or send any information you have about R. C. Grant and J. C. Fletcher at that period. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Sincerely, (Mrs. L.C.) Lillian M. Harvey 76 Elgin Street, Bowmanville, Ontario October 21, 1973. Dear Editor: I am constrained to write another letter. I an asked why I pick on the churches and ministers. For one reason only. They are the avowed champions and pro- moters of Christianity and maybe they have fallen asleep. Consider alcoholism. Some sixty-five years ago the tem- perance people of Bowman- ville won local option. A great victory! But where are we today? There are a number of liquor outlets and possibly more to come. What are the churches doing? Some church officials may even own brew- ery shares. Consider observance of the Sabbath. In Ex. 20 verse 8 the command is "Keep the Sab- bath Holy". The Israelites in the wilderness had only two things they could do, either work or rest. Verses 9 to 11 were written for them. People splitting hairs have Stripus d Sooner or later, what goes up must come down. The dry strippables from Sunworthy come down with one smooth, easy pull. Not that you'il want them down for years.

Now we have all kinds of sports on Sunday. The motor age opened gas stations on Sundays. Restaurants are open. Where will it end?
