Outstanding Speaker for the Evangelistic Campaign Here _ Hailed as one of the most outstandâ€" j ing and forceful speakers ever heard in the pulpits of Weston, Rev. Dr. A. J. Vining, President of the Ontarioâ€"Queâ€" bee Cortvention of Baptist Churches, on Sunday launched a series of evangelisâ€" tic meetings under the auspices of the. various churches of Weston and the disâ€" rict. News of this series had been ide spread, and on Sunday in the resbyterian and Baptist Churches Dr. ining brought messages of great inâ€" ~Spiration and made an eloquent appeal for coâ€"operation and help during the meetings which conclude tonight, Reâ€" sponse to his appeal was splendid, as shown by the large congregations which turned out each evening of the week to hear him. Special musical conâ€" tributions added to the impressiveness of all services. ev. Dr. A. J. Vining, President of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec Convention of Baptist Churches, Brings Stirring Messages to Open Camâ€" ‘ â€" paign Which Concludes Tonightâ€"Spoke in Presbyterian Church Sunday Morning, and Sunday Evening in Baptist Church, Where Westminster Congregation Gathered With BaEfistsâ€"Be at Last Meeting in Westminster Church Tonight at Eight O‘clock. Sunday morning in the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. Vining took as his text Joshua 8: 4â€""Go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready." In his address the speaker dealt with the taking of the City of Ai. A few men, he said, were to go with Joshua and apâ€" proach the city, but the whole armf' of thirty thousand mighty men of valour were needed to take it. The Christian life, he stressed, is a constant warfare against the forces of evil and the fi%ht- ing should not be left to a few. Proâ€"\ fessing Christians must do their bit if the enemy is to be defeated. He made a strong appeal to the congregation for their co-oJ)Pration in the special effort being made this week in Weston to help and strengthen t.hoae1 who are Christâ€" ians and to bring in Those who know not the Gospel. On Sunday evening Dr. Vining spoke in the Baptist Church, where the conâ€" gregations of the Baptist and Westâ€" minster United Churches united to hear him, the service in Westminster Church having been dispensed with. Rev. J. C. Williamson was in charge of the serâ€" vice and was assisted by Rev. G. E. Forbes. WANT ADS Phone 26 words, Dr. Vining said: "To my mind this is one of the most fascinating storâ€" oc in the life of Jeaus Christ. It is a Dr. Vining read first the first five verses of 2nd Mark, which conclude with the words "When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee." Reâ€" peating this beautiful story in his own words, Dr. Vining said: "To my mind ’ies in the life of Jesus Christ. It is a ubject for the poet, the sculpture and the artist. Were I an artist 1 would paint this story in four scenes, first, the sick, helpless man as he lay on his bed; second, the Divine Man, Jesus Christ of Nazareth; third, those four men who carried the palsied man to Him, and, fourth, the scene of the mob around the doorway. _"The nhysical condition of that man moral condition of many today," deâ€" clared the speaker. “Mang believe a new way of salvation has been found. If men were able to save themselves, then why did Jesus Christ die? Isaiah 53 tells us why He diedâ€"because "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned ever{‘one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the inâ€" iquity of us all." I believe in developâ€" ment, which is talked about so much: today, but sometimes there is nothing to develop. Only God can make someâ€" thing out of nothing. Because a drunkâ€" ard out of the gutter has strength enough to pull himself up, keep the temperance pledge and become a reâ€" spectable citizen, that does not make him a Christian. We are born in sin and shapen in iniquity, and except a and shamn in imquity, and except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. m‘"ottfiiiiiféy"fé'iiifi&'iygéfit-the moral condition of many today," deâ€" "Jesus once told the rich man who came to talk to Him by night, ‘There are two births.‘ This truth is shown in the verse, ‘God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not glerish but have everlasting life.‘ So is glorvious promise seeks tb make: simple the message of salvation. This is being born againâ€"when a man realâ€" izes he himself is a sinner and throws himself unreservedly on the atoning love of Jesus Christ. This is regeneraâ€" tion and there is no salvation other than it. Living and preaching for Christ is the greatest job on earth and I wish I coulgrlive to be 200 years oldâ€"that Woodbridge Has Only One Family on Direct Relief Council Accepts Budget for 1935 Prepared by Tremmrerâ€"-Accwn',s Are Passedâ€"Relief Accounts Also Passedâ€"Only One Family on Direct Relief, Though Assistance Has Been Given in Some Cases Where Fuel Was Requiredâ€"Water Works Department Accounts Passed. 4 At a meeting of the Woodbridge Council last Monday night, accounts were authorized for payment and the budget for 1935 pt:(rfned by the Treasurer was aceepted by the Counâ€" cil.

Accounts were authorized for payâ€" ment as follows: Woodbridge Hydro Commission for January lighting, and longer would not be too long to preach His Gospel. "Â¥o do not need to be a minister to preach of Christ," went on Dr. Vining earnestly. "Have you ever had the suâ€" Yreme joy of bringing a soul to Him ? If you haven‘t, you have missed the greatest thing life can hold. I charge you Sunday School teachers to do all in Â¥'our power to bring your scholars to im. Do you, any of you, do anything mbout trying to save your neighbor across the line fence ? If not, it is high time you cqnfessed to Jesus Christ thaIE Li hib Anduth i etnteinn id Chdcet esn ernod y you have been careless in your work and that you want to do everything you can for Him. â€" â€" "Jesus Christ does not need your help or mine but He has decreed that His work will be done through human afients. Before He went to His Father, following His resurrection, He gatherâ€" ed His few followers around Him and ehHarged them to carry His message to the uttermost parts of the earth. You eannot be true to Him, to yourself or. your fellow men if you do not carry His message to othersâ€"His message must come through you. Who brought you first to see His face? In any event, Whether it was your minister, your Sunday School teacher, your mother or father, it was one or more human agents who brought you to the point of becoming His. "There is no one God cannot use if | that person is willing to be used. The four men who brought the sick man to Jesus showed the sincerest coâ€"operaâ€" tion. If we have that nothing can stop blessing coming on our meetings this coming week. I like these four men in the story. They had pluck and deterâ€" mination. They could not get their sick friend in because of the crowd, but that did not stop them. They did not stop unt}} they had gotten him up to the roof top, and from there lowered him into the presence of Jesus Christ. Nothâ€" ing was ever accomplished without deâ€" termination. Do not despair in your Christian work because someone laughs or sneers. Deep down your friends will respect you for taking‘ a.st.-an'd‘fm: Him‘. e esn o o oo td "When Jesus saw their faith, that of‘ the four men, He said unto the sick of the palsy, ‘Son, thy sins be forgiven thee,‘ and straightway he was healed. What a wonderful thing for us to be able to see the faith of others. Let us make ourselves right with God and fifiht with each other or His blessing will not come. He is ready to save you will not come. He is ready to save you if you are ready to be saved. I want your coâ€"operation, your enthusiasm and your prayers. Wily hesitate in taking your stand for Him? Now is the acâ€" cepted time, now is the day of salvaâ€" tion and there is no tomorrow."

Phillips, Clerk and High Chief Constable of York County was the recipient of felicitaâ€" tions this week on the occasion of his. 75th birthday and the completion of 23 years‘ service as aforementioned, it had to be that sgnitfl Reeve, James Cameron, of Weston, who fiiured in ‘the celebration as Dean of the York County Council. $ 0_ It fell to his gart to present Mr. Phillips (on behalf of the Council) with a handsome arm chair. Be it sufficient to say "the deed was done". The debonnaire Westonian with the grace of a spring flower and the dignity whichâ€"becomes his years, was speakerâ€"inâ€"chief on the occasion. It was interesting ‘to hear him reâ€" count now: "umpteéfi" years: agoâ€"â€"he and the veteran Clerk, sat together as colleagues on the Council. Jt Cameron was Reeve of Vaughan Township, while the "Chief" was Deputy Reeve of King Township. This of course was "many long years ago" when the old gray mares were in their prime, . i Weston‘s Reeve was in a real reâ€" miniscent mood, and made a speech that fitted the day ?erfectly. His achievements as a legislator no lo;\iger outshine _his.. prowess as.an . "after dinner" speaker. Mr. Phillips, bashâ€" dinner" speaker. Mr. Phillips, bashâ€" ful as a maiden, made a very fitting acknowledgment. _ His â€" text . was "Darn these birthdays, they come too often." One of his best sermons to be sure, and the outcome of it all, was that it was unanimouslf' resolved "That the said R. W. Phillips is reâ€" newing his youth like the eagle." Five more Â¥ears to be an octogenarâ€" ian and feel like a young man comâ€" ing of age.
