THE
STERLING TRUSTS
The Wingham and District Council
of Churches met at the home of Rev.
and Mrs. Glen Eagle, Clinton, on Mon
day, April 4th, 1955.
The paeeting opened with a brief
devotional period conducted by Revs.
D. J. Lane and A, Lane.
With Rev. H, L. Parker in the chair,
the meeting adopted the minutes as
read by Rev, D. J, MacRae.
It was decided to accept an invita
tion received from Ft. Lieut. B. Gar
rett to hold the next meeting at the
the R.C.A.F. Station, Clinton.
Rev. J. E. Ostrom introduced the
speaker for the afternoon, Rev. Dr. T.
McDormand, general secretary, of the
Baptist Convention of Ontario and
Quebec.
Rev. Dr. McDormand then address
ed the meeting on the subject,
“What's New About Christianity?”
The speaker pointed out that such
religions as Buddhism and Moham
medanism, in addition to Communism
are all trying to win the minds and
souls of men and to elbow Christianity
aside. Even in Canada Christianity
isn't as strong as it should be.
Men have tried various kinds of
religion, the speaker said. Men have
held religion based on a worship of
themselves as expressed in the state
as in Naziism and Communism. Or
men have held a religion of imagined
gods with human characteristics and
human failings and lacking in loving
concern for the welfare of their fellow
men. Such a religion was known’ to
the Greeks. Still other men, the Heb
rews, held a purer faith but one based
on a God far removed from men, sit
ting in Judgment and demanding
complete obedience to Divine Laws.
With the birth of Christ and the
founding of the Christian Religion
there came a new view of God as. one
drawing near to men. Men through
Jesus Christ have come to see the
very heart of a winsome approachable
fatherlike God, even though most
holy and righteous. We see God
through Christ as one willing to be
found of man and one who actually
seeks to know men in fellowship
Divine. Men seeing God through
Christ have seen one who is vitally
concerned for their true welfare and
one to whom individuals, possessing
something of divine nature, are of
great worth.
Through Christ’s life; death and
Resurrection ‘men have seen God as
one who is not only Lord over life
but over death.
In the Cross, God has been seen as
reconciling the world unto Himself,
making more plain than ever before,
His willingness to forgive, help and
bless all who in true repentance for
sin and in trust and loving obedience
desire to enter His fellowship and to
know life eternal even in the midst
of the passing days.
Following some interesting and
thought provoking discussion Rev. D.
J. McRae thanked the speaker for
his scholarly address and presented
him with a small token of apprecia
tion.
Rev. Glen Eagle closed the meeting
with prayer. Following the meeting
a delicious lunch Was served. Rev.
A. Watson thanked the hostesses Mrs.
G. Eagle and her assistants, Mrs. D.
J. Lane and Mrs. J. Lavis.
SUNDAY IN ELWELL, MICH..
One might have a difficult time to
find Elwell on any map of Michigan.
It is a village of some two hundred
residents near the centre of the state.
My wife and I had gone on a
month’s holiday to relatives in the
city of Alma, a place of some 14,000
population, and from there to a branch
of the family at Elwell for a few days,
which included Sunday. Hence this*
little story.
A church building had been practi
cally rebuilt and enlarged, of the
Episcopal Methodist denomination.
This particular 'Sunday marked the re
opening of the sacred edifice. The
minister in charge was no less a per
son than the Moderator of that dis
trict. He was a Canadian by birth
and one of the most eloquent speakers
it has ever been my privilege to hear.
The year was; 1919 and it was not
strange that the speaker should make
reference to the world war so recent
ly concluded^ In all the addresses I
have heard . commendatory of the
Canadian forces throughout the'war,
I never heard such a brilliant, lauda
tory, praiseworthy acclaim of -the
Canadians.
A feature of the day’s proceedings
was the effort of the speaker to raise
money to pay off the indebtedness in
curred and the system adopted was
out of the ordinary. A large cross
had been made, which had been laid
out in squares, each square repre
senting a certain sum of money. These
squares were being sold by auction,
and up to a certain stage had been
most advantageously sold. Then,
suddenly, as at any auction sale, the
bids eased up and no amount of coax
ing seemed to make any appeal to
the large congregation. The preach
er had to resort to some other tactics
to start a fresh burst of enthusiasm.
He addressed h'imself to a number
“Souls in Conflict”
To be Shown Here
“SOULS IN CONFLICT,'f the fourth
motion picture released by Evangelist
Billy Graham, this one filmed against
the backdrop of his highly successful
-London Crusade, will be shown in

torium. All seats are free.
“SOULS IN CONFLICT” is a tri
logy, a full-length production in color

led before audiences numbering as
many as 12,000 persons in vast Wem
bley Stadium.
Since his first major campaign in
America, in Los Angeles, California,
In 1950, Graham has supplemented his
ministry with the coast-to-coast radio
broadcast, the “Hour of Decision,”
over ABC carried by 300 stations
here in America and approximately 50
foreign stations.
In 1952 increased use of religious
films brought about the formation of
Billy Graham Evangelistic Films,
Inc. “Mid-Century Crusade,” a docu
mentary of Graham’s Portland, Ore
gon Campaign, was the first produc
tion for this new organization. “Mr.
Texas,” the world’s first Christian
Western, which saw 25,000 persons
crowd Holywood Bowl for its prem
iere, followed. “Oiltown U, S. A.” a
story Of the message of" evangelism
in millionaire circles in Houston, Tex
as, was the third such film.
Inasmuch as the now historic Lon
don Crusade was Graham’s most am
bitious endeavor, “Souls in Conflict,”
is his most important picture. Feat
ured in the cast are Joan Winmill,
star of the British TV thriller, “Epi
taph for a. Spy,” Eric Micklewood and
Charles Leno. Mis Winmill was one of
those who "came forward” in Har-
ringay Arena, later io receive counsel
in the interview room from none other
than Mrs. Billy Graham.
Donn Moomaw, six-foot-four, 222-
pound All-American linebacker from
UCLA, who turned down a most lucra
tive offer to play professional football
to follow the dictates of his heart in
the field of evangelism, is also promi
nently featured, as is Colleen Towns
end Evans, ex-Warner-Brothers and
20th Century-Fox player.
“Souls in Conflict” was produced for
Billy Graham by Great Commission
Films, Hollywood, in association with
Anglo-Scottish' Pictures, London. Dick
Ross wrote, and directed the picture
assisted by Leonard Reeve. The spec
ial music score was composed and
conducted by Ralph Carmichael.

“Say, you boys at the back of the
church, answer me this question: If
you see a man scratching his head,
what time is it?”
No replies were forthcoming, so
the questioner had to answer his
own riddle.
“Why, it’s five after one,” he said.
This appealed to me as being some
what lacking in dignity, but the sale
was resumed, with somewhat renew
ed alacrity. It on the whole was one
church service that remains , vividly
in my memory. Service started at
11 a.m. and it was 2.30 p.m. before the
benediction was pronounced.
