IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of George Albert Etherington who died April 25. 1027 The Family PASTOR OF JAMES STREET PREACHES STIRRING SERMON ON “REVERENCE FOB THE UNDERDOG” On Sunday morning Rev. D. Mc­ Tavish, pastor of James Street Unit­ ed Church continued his studies on “The Sermon on the Mount” basing liis remarks on Matthew '5. 21-22. In liis discourse he made an eloquent •plea for the masses of common people who are' now suffering from social and economic ills. The preacher pointed out that the purpose of Jesus was not to destroy '.but to fulfill. Nevertheless’ Jesus .more than any other saw that some­ thing must be destroyed ere His Kingdom could be established on •earth. He therefore contrasted the old with the new testing the old in the light of its effect upon men. Vessels, rites, temples and even places had no special claim as sacred, ■unless they were, contributing toward the development of man’s character. He saw the Gentiles driven from the outer court by oxen, sheep and doves and money changers. Things were taking the place of men. It was be­ coming more important to collect the Temple tax in Jewish currency than it was to save the Gentiles. Thus He drove the money 'changers out. Jesus taught that contempt for the personality of others brought down its own judgment and lighted the fires of its own hell. Is this the hell that has now come upon us? asked the speaker. We have been guilty of social, racial, political and religious snobbery. We have tniilded our institutions and created our machines without any considera- ion fcr the well-being of the masses and now these very institutions have become a burden upon the backs of the common people. Taxation has become intolerable yet we go on vot­ ing millions for the erection of fine •liptels to cater to the whims and fancies of the idle rich and we try to balance the budget by cutting the wages of those who can least afford ‘to hear it. Why not declare a ten per cent, cut in bond indebtedness and let the bond holder take his share” asked the preacher? Are the i)e Luxe hotels of more importance than man, women and children? Are we to frame our policies for the few’ at the top and forget the masses at the bottom of life’s human pyramid Even the church, he averred, had been guilty of ignoring the common people. In the days of war she had given the blessing of the Prince of Peace upon the god of war. She had besought her portion of the wealth gained from the war and reserving it had launched out on an extensive program that under present condi­ tions cannot be maintained. The spoils of war have caused her. The idiosy of her, social neutrality is now painfully apparent. She thought it more important to care for the rich man who could .give her a ten thou­ sand dollar subscription than to min­ ister to ten thousand people who could only give one dollar and now the latter can’t even give that dol­ lar and the rich are standing with their backs against the wall wonder­ ing what to do. The spiritual life of men is strain­ ed in these days, but now is the hour for the church to light and lift up the lamp of hope to distressed Souls; to assure them that while the meek do not as yet inherit the earth ulti­ mately they will. They are the only ones who can be trusted with it. This is the world for which Jesus died, On the day Ho hung upon the Cross, an innocent man suffering because of the iniquity of mankind, there was doubt and darkness. The earth shook, the lightning flashed! the thunder rolled, men turned away in despair. Judas seeing the end of it all went out and took his life. Even the Christ cried out as though for­ saken by His Father in Heaven. That was Good Friday but Easter was only a little way off. “The world is passing through its Good Friday experiences just now. The cause of Christ is nailed again to a cross through the selfishness, greed and inhumanity of man. Foun­ dations shake underneath us. Doubt and misgiving beset us. Men way to despair and cry out that has left us off. But 1-Ie hasn’t, scene on Calvary in the long is the guarantee that God is with us in. this suffering and with us even to the death. He does not die in vain. Eastei’ lies ahead. “Watchman what of the Night?” and the Watchman answers back, “The Morning Dawn- eth. Make way, my friends for the morning.” .So concluded the speaker. Next Sunday morning Mr. McTavish will continue on the subject of “Rev­ erence with.’’ get-togethers have formed, warn friendships. the outskirts of Montreal, are numerous golf courses Mac- Life with, new give God The ago for the fellow we are CROMARTY fine weather of last week out has the inability -of Rev. able to fill his McLellan, wh-o a few days with last Mr. own had Mr. The enabled the farmers to get on land and some have made consider­ able headway during the past few days.

Montreal for a couple of days last week attending the annual con­ vention of the Ontario and Quebec divisions of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association and incident-' ally met some of the big wigs who have been in the public eye of late. This coupled with a visit to the Beauharnois power plant where we were entertained to dinner and shown over the works went a long way toward rejuvenating our spirits after hearing land thinking about depressed conditions till it was just about getting under the skin. We boarded a train in Toronto about midnight Thursday eventing and were soon cuddled up in our berth and being very tired we were off to sleep soon after the train pulled put. We were awakened sev­ eral times during the night and so sleep came in fits and starts. We were up about seven in the morning and found in the men’s dressing­ room several newspaper men that we had met on other occasions. There is a certain fraternity that exists be­ tween newspaper men and these an­ nual many iOn there showing that the wide open spaces have their attractions to the city dweller and that golfitis must foe a common summer complaint. The ap­ proach to Montreal by railroad is through a portion of the city that is not particularly attractive to the eye and confirms the fact that one half of the world does not know how the other half lives. ‘ Our convention was held at ’the Mount Royal Hotel, the largest in the city. We were exchanging greet­ ings with some of the breth­ ren when someone mentioned break­ fast and it dawned on us that we hadn’t had a bite to eat, so off we went for coffee and rolls. Guests of Sun Life at Luncheon At. noon the party-were invitee] by the Sun Life insurance Company to be their guests at luncheon in their handsome new grey-stone building which dominates a city block and fronts one of the leading squares of the city. We should have said which dominates the city as the Sun Life building is the largest office building in the British Empire. At present the Sun Life have a staff of over 2500 at the main office and a noon luncheon is provided for the entire staff in the building which is well equipped- with facilities to pro­ vide comfort and recreation for the emloyees. After luncheon Mr. auley, president of the Sun made a few remarks telling justifiable pride about the building and of some of the machines that do almost incredible work with amazing rapidity. (Members of the Sun staff joined with our party at luncheon following which your humble servant had the honor of meeting the head of the largest in­ surance company in the world. The afternoon was again taken up with business problems one feature of the afternoon being the presen­ tation of an oil painting to Mr. W. E. Riddell, who for years was pub­ licity agent for the C. N. R. at Tor­ onto, but now retired. For the past twelve years Mr. Riddell has not missed a single convention of the C. W. N. A. He is a jolly good-na­ tured individual and seems to think about as much of the boys of pi’ess as the boys do of him. Banquet At six thirty a banquet was in. one of the ball-rooms. This the tuxedo was much in evidence. No, we didn’t take ours with us it smelled .too much of mothballs. Thank goodness we didn’t have to order what was on the menu or we might have ’been asking for an or­ chestra selection. Mr, Arthur W. March, of the Amherstburg Echo, presided and after some community singing foetween courses a half hour entertainment was provided by “The Saugenay Singers” radio artists un­ der the direction of Mr. J. J. iShae and through the courtesy of “La presse” Montreal French Daily. How these boys could sing those French- Canadian folk song dressed in their habitaut garb. They got a great reception, with every number and in turn the boys put everything into their songs. It sure was great. The speaker for the evening was Mr. H. Gratton O’Leary, special editorial writer of the Ottawa Jour­ nal. IM<r. O’Leary had been a mem­ ber of the press gallery at Ottawa for twenty-one years during which time he came closely in contact with the leading politicians of Canada and in his address he spoke of many of the high spots In their parliament­ ary careers and gave some .inside light into their life and activities coupled with many humorous per­ sonal incidents incidents that only a man like Mr. Leary seemed to catch the they couldn’t cease the address.

Work is. goipg on here on such a gi­ gantic scale that it staggers the im­ agination, The work is all in Que­ bec. At lake St, Francis on the St, Lawrence river a canal is being dug for fifteen miles across the country from Valleyfield to Beauharnois. portion of the channel is deep to allow the ocean going vessels, are formed on channel brought plant at in the building which forms a dam across the channel, The stone taken from the channel is crushed and used for the cement work and thousands of tons of cement have been used in building the plant. The first section of the power plant is almost- com­ pleted and the turbines and water wheels are now being installed. The water at the point will have a drop of SO feet. When in operation the water rushes down through large in­ take pipes and turns the wheels which generate the power, sounds easy, but, oh, boy, the work of prep­ aration. Two railway bridges have been built one of which cost a mil­ lion and a half. Another highway bridge has been built, and the high­ way diverted. These at present look peculiar out in the open fields on dry ground. There are about twenty railway engines around the place .and approximately fifty miles of railway trackage. One huge shovel used for excavating stone fills a small railway carriage with two bites. Another hydraulic dredge has a large rotary piece of machinery that tears into the banks of earth loosening it, up and through large turbines forces the earth and water up ’onto the banks to form the dykes. The party were driven for- several miles down the bank of the canal After inspecting the plant the party visited some of the staff bunk houses and as it was just at noon were hos­ pitably received by some of tihe men. At one o’clock luncheon was served at the staff dining-room. I happened to be sitting at the first table with a number of others and across from us were two gentle­ men connected with the plant. A conversation ensued and as these ed­ itors have a‘natural bent for asking questions one of the party asked: “What -kind of a fellow is this man •Sweezey?” who by the way is the head of the corporation and it was an emlbarassing moment to learn that he was the man that was being spoken to. It all passed off with a very hearty laugh and ,Mr. Sweezey proceeded to tell, of one or two other instances where he had been present to ’hear himself discussed. A 27 feet navigation ’ of Large dykes either side of the and the water will, be down to the large power Beauharnois.

Such an institution might well receive gifts to support it from organizations in small towns and rural districts since it is their daughters who benefit by the pro­ tection it affords. This institution is a worthy and patriotic investment, of money, and is “worthy of bequests when wo make our wills, for its motherhood organized to protect the youth.
