WOOPSWORTH ()3y Ken Jackson, B,S.A.,) The life, the ideals and the aspir- ations of the late Mr. 'Woodsworth, who passed away earlier this year, are all too little appreciated by the conservative, complacent people of rural Ontario. Mi•. Bruce Hutchinson, the well known Canadian writer, wrote a very fine tribute to. Mr. Woodsworth,part of which follows: Mr. J. S, Woodsworth was a more important figure in Canadian history than most of his contemporaries realized. He was important for what he represented rather than his actual accomplishment. He was a symbol and a portent of a new day. History will mark him as one of its great milestones in this country.. He was an indifferent politician, 'too scrupulous for political com- promise, which is the essence of democracy, too high-minded for the intimate company of most men, too theoretical for the practical work- ings of parliament. Yet, in a curious way, he was precisely bhe right man in the right place, when he emerged after the great war. ' - Here, in every aspect of his char- acter was the prophet of a new idea. He had been martyred' for his be- liefs in the Winnipeg strike. He had been brutally jailed as I have heard him say with a twinkle of merriment for daring to read publicly a few verses of Deuteronomy in the free democracy of Canada. He had chos- en poverty and laborers' work on the waterfront, this frail and delicate scholar, this minister of God, rather than seek favor from anyone. He was the most 'Christlike man ever seen in parliament and his white beard, his flaming eye, his anger at injustice, his gentleness with every- one .and his deep booming voice of moral protest made him ,appear like a prophet out of the Old Testament." As last Sabbath, Sept. 6, was Canada's national day of prayer, I take great pleasure in presenting to the readers of The Seaforth News a prayer Mr. Woodsworth wrote for "Labor Church", Winnipeg, 1920. "Prayer.—We meet together as brothers and sisters of the one big family. We confess we have not yet learned to live together in love and unity. We have thought too much of our own interests and too little, of the common welfare. We have enjoyed and even sought special privileges. Our own gain has often involved an- other's loss. We are heartily sorry for these, our own misdoings; the memory of them is grievous to us. We acknowledge we are still divided into alien groups separated from one another by barriers of class, creed and custom. May we overcome pre- judice. May we seek to find common -ground. May we recognize beauty in other types than our own. As we claim that our own convictions should be respected, so may we res- pect the convictions of others. May we grow in moral stature until we can join hands over the separating walls. May we enter into the joy of a common fellowship. We have learn- ed how imperfect is our knowledge, how narrow our vision. May we be willing to welcome the truth from whatever source it comes. May we endeavor to follow the truth at whatever cost. We Would remember that the things that are seen are temporal, that the things that are not seen are eternal. May we judge things by their spiritual values. May we estimate success by high stan- dards and, in our own lives reject the temptation of a low aim and easy attainment. We would be wide in our sympa- thies and generous in our living. If we have more than others, may we accept our heavier respondibilities. We would extend to others that in- dulgence which we crave for our- selves. We are grateful for the lives of all the wise and the good who have made this world a better place in which to live. May we enter into their spirit and carry forward their work. We pledge ourselves to unit- ed effort in establishing on the earth an era of justice and love. May our faces be toward the future. May we be children of the brighter and bet tel' day which is now beginning to dawn. May we not impede, but rath- er co-operate with, the great spiritual forces which we believe are impelling the world onward and upward."
