Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association When I was in grade nine writing was a thrilling experience that captivated my mind and lifted me far above the routine of school. I was like the boy in the poem by Turner whose heart had been stolen by the magic names of mountains, "I walked in a great, gold dream â€" to and fro from school â€" Shining Popoâ€" catapet! â€" The dusty streets did rule." But I have found through the years that inâ€" spiration does not always burn in one‘s mind, leaving no doubt about what one should write. There are times when one feels no inspiration whatsoever. Last night was one of those times for me,. 1 sat, mentally fagged, rgading symbols that carried no Teaning. I . RE + uo y wirs ns AOe NHe ORRIN Oe S ce | The means through which in times past I have reâ€" ceived inspiration, my Bible, prayer, devotional poetry were all seemingly dull and meaningless.

I thought that there must be something wrong with me. â€" Why did I not FEEL some enthusiasm? Then very quietly came the thought, "God is." Yes, christian, no matter how you feel, "God Is." He never changes. â€" You are in Christ. In fact before he made the world he looked ahead and saw you and chose you to be in Christ, Then at Calvary he acted as theugh you were actually there in his son, and because you had done wrong he punished his son in your place. Then beâ€" cause he wanted you to be able to live free from wrong doing he acted as though you actually died when Jesus died. When a doctor immunizes against a disease he injects the dead virus of the disease into our veins. Christ in us is our immunization. 7.30 a.m 10.00 a.m 8.00 p.m St. Phillips Rd. (off Malton Rd.)

The night was dark and the Falls were brilâ€" liantly illuminated. A young man placed a flash bulb in his camera and took a picture of the Falls. How he would expect a tiny flash bulb to carry across the black width of the river and add to an already brilliantly illuminated Falls is more than I can underâ€" stand. I am afraid that we make the same mistake spiritually when we expect the good that we have done to get us to heaven. Our little flashes of goodâ€" ness add nothing toward our forgiveness. The cross is already illuminated with the intense love of God when he punished his beloved Son in our place. Our entrance into heaven is assured as we believe personâ€" ally in that forgiveness.

Ward nto 14, Ontario Weston and District Church News ST. DAVID‘S ANGLICAN St. David‘s came out with an attractive quarterly magâ€" azine the other day. In it Rev. Hope W. Surâ€" divall bids goodbye to his parishioners and thanks them for their loyalty and friendâ€" ship. "It has been a joy and a great privilege to have been your first rector and I pray that you will strengthen the hands of your new rector by giving the loyal support that I have enjoyed for nine years," the reverend writes. He also points out the imâ€" portance of lay people in any church since they make up 99 per cent of its membership. Mr. Surdivall was asked by the bishop to take over the parish of St. Luke‘s, East Toâ€" ronto. Approximately 50 members of St. David‘s were present at the induction service for Mr. Surdivall at St. Luke‘s Church. During the reception afterâ€" wards a visiting clergyman was heard to remark that "from now on St. David‘s would be Hopeâ€"less." April 7, 1910 WESTONâ€"We suggest to the Council the adâ€" visability of having the names of the streets in the Village put up on the corners of said streets, espeâ€" cinll{ as a large number of City people are looking for locations. Very few of our own people can. tell just where many of the new streets such as Grattan, Gray, Robert, Pine, etc., are located.

SILENCE IS HORRIFYING Sir: In the storm of protest sweeping the world over the disasters which occurred reâ€" cently in South Africa where police fired on â€" unarmed Negro men, women and chilâ€" dren, killing and wounding hundreds, Canada‘s official silence is horrifying. so YEARS Ado in To what depths of deâ€" gradation are we as a nation prepared to let the South African government go beâ€" fore we are prepared to open our mouths in remonstraâ€" tion ? My own views are firm. I believe, like the prime minister of Malaya, in whose country I had the privilege of serving for many years, that this _ situation _ should . be brought up at the Prime Ministers‘ _ Conference _ in May. In line with Tunku Abul Rahman I deplore the inhuman brutality of the South African police and I concur with the Tunku‘s words: "This is absolutely against the principle of human rights, justice and â€" decency . and should never have occurred in a Commonwealth country." However, _ realizing | that my background with its inâ€" timate association with those people who constitute the vast majority of the world‘s populationâ€"the people with colored skinsâ€"is very diffiâ€" cult from the average Canâ€" adian‘s I do not expect Canâ€" ada as a whole to take the stand I would like to see her take on this vitally imporâ€" tant occasion, an occasion which has the appearance of qualifying for the term ("a turning point in world hisâ€" tory."

The _ following _ children were baptized at the mornâ€" ing service last Sunday at Westminster United: ‘ Claire Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Bull, 275 Bedword Park; Robert Dixon, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.

Sir Anyone who has studied taxaâ€" tion will recognize the disastrous effect that most forms of it have upon a free éenterprise system. The deeper he goes into the matter the more he becomes aware of one kind of tax which not only has no harmful effect upon productive activityâ€"but acâ€" tually has a beneficial effect. At the same service the first communicants who have been under instruction were confirmed: â€" James _ Ronald Blanche, 4 Patika avenue; Murray _ Allen Death, 60 Kingdom _ street; _ William Frank Durtnall, 14 Cardell avenue; Laurie James Garâ€" red, 27 Ellis avenue; Willow Gwendolynne Holland, 57 St. Johns road west; _ Robert Howard Lord, 93 Macdonald avenue; Joan Martin, 26 St. Johns road west; Murray Douglas Pearson, 31 Riverlea drive; _ Marilyn _ Margaret Reynolds, 57 Boyd avenue; Douglas Read Smith and Ross Fields Smith, 55 George Anderson drive; Susan Snidâ€" er and Ruth Snider, 15 Elm street; Linda Mary Taylor, 185 King street.

Such â€" action _ from _ the senior dominion of the Comâ€" monwealth backing up the U.K. might well save thousâ€" ands of more lives, not only within _ South Africa but throughout that vast continâ€" ent. I can only finish on one note. If this is not a turning point in the world‘s history, what bloodâ€"letting will have to occur due to apartheid beâ€" fore a turning point does occur? This is every Canaâ€" dian‘s problem to the extent of expressing his disgust at inhumanity on a vast scale within the Commonwealth. My stand is clear and I call on all Canadians to make theirs clear too by writing to their M.P.‘s or the newsâ€" papers. i THE SINGLE TAX Cvril Bell During this season many Christians myemn)'wm:h for the gift of the Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. For each year on Saturday of Holy Week the faithful participate in the Ceremony of Light when the Orthodox Patriarch enters the Tomb of Christ, and a fire is passed from Heaven lighting his torch, thus symbolizing the victory of the Cross. What then is more logical than for each community to recover as much of this publicly created value as possible, thus making it | unnecessary to levy taxes on Lprivatvly created values such as ‘homes, factories, machinery, earnâ€" ‘ed income and all the wealth \produced by those not on the | public payroll ? Several years ago at an anâ€" nual meeting of the American Economic Association the subâ€" ject of land value tax was thorâ€" oughly discussed and an overâ€" whelming majority of those presâ€" ent agreed on these points: (1) The site value of land is a creaâ€" tion of the community, not a creation of the landowner. (2) A tax levied on the site value of land cannot be shifted or recovâ€" ered from the tenant by raising the rent. (3) A tax levied on the site value of land is burdenless. The community in taxing site value is merely recovering the value it has created. Recently, Dr. Glenn Hoover, a former president of the Pacific Coast _ Economic _ Association, stated that most economists today would agree an these points. A Holy Week service will take place in Westminster on Tuesday, April 12, at 8 Opponents of land value taxaâ€" tion will say that securing as much public revenue as possible from the publicly created land values is confiscatory. But obâ€" viously this can be said of all taxation. The type of confiscaâ€" tion we should abhor is the conâ€" fiscation of privately created values that ought to zemain in private hands as a spur to the creation of more wealth. The only way we can really protect privateâ€" ly created values is to confine taxation to the publicly created lvnlun of the land.

On Mofiday evening the ladies of St. Philip‘s parish welcomed visitors from other churches in the district to their "open house." A _ film _ entitled "New Ideals for Old" gave a vivid portrayal of the life and problems in Africa, . Work displayed by the various groups reflected the many hours spent by the ladies in sewing, mending and knitâ€" ting. The handiwork is sent to the Missionary Centre, Beverley Lodge, Downtown Church Workers, Ingles House, and Strachan House. ST. PHILIP‘S ANGLICAN the Womâ€" will meet o‘clock at , W. Herod, New memâ€" uncontrollable because of the inâ€" fluence of lobbies favoring public works ‘ that will benefit certain land holdings at the expense of those who pay income, sales and other taxes. Slums grow as a reâ€" sult of undertaxing valuable land while overtaxing the owners who improve their land. The writer, in conjunction with the School of Economic Science in Toronto, has undertaken in the past to sponsor short courses in basic economics in the Woodâ€" bridge area with some little sucâ€" cess. The courses are taught free. The only charge being barely enough to cover the cost of books, class materials and room fee. It is sad to note, however, that citizens generally do not much care why they are being taxed or whether nor not there is a fairer way of gathering this tax. If there is anything that anyâ€" one would like to know regarding land value taxation or the basic classes in economics 1 would only be too glad to help. Perhaps the time is. ripe for a class in the Woodbridge and Vaughan area in view of the impending raise in the mill rate. f A table of curios from Africa was greatly admired. Visitors were fascinated by the Altar Guild display of linens, silver and literature. Several of the silver pieces are almost 150 years old. St. Philip‘s also owns a bible and prayer book published in 1840. If the economic value of the land were taken in taxation home owners would find their taxes drop and there would be more than enough money collected to balance the budget. Farmers would benefit also by lower taxaâ€" tion since their land only becomes very valuable because of the acâ€" tion of speculators. On Tuesday evening the congregation ‘welcomed the Suffragan Bishop H. R. Hunt and his chaplain, Rev. Owen Pritchard, to the service of confirmation. _ The bishop also dedicated beautiful superfrontals for the sanctuary placed t_hgre i'firme;nory of Herbert John and Mabel Constance Church. Under a land value tnxntion" very little farm land would be | needed for housing, industrial and commercial use because only | the valuable land immediately ; adjacent to old: developed areas would be used and farm land would only be used for other purâ€" poses as it is needed. The service of dedication was followed by a reception in the parish hall. | Those _ confirmed _ were: John Cole Bowden, James Robert Down, William James Sheppard â€" Elliott, William.
