CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
294 DUNDAS ST. -LONDON, ONT,
The last time I visited Eng
land I spent a day in Hexham,
a very old town, near the border
of Scotland. Hexham is one of
the most historic spots in Brit
ain; a place of habitation when
David reigned over Israel. Not
many miles away, is the remains
of "Hadrain’s wall, built in the
year 120 A.D. The Roman Emp
eror built that wall to keep the
Scotch out. One ..wonders why
any man would want to shut
out the Scotch!
While in Hexham, I' remem
bered that it was the birthplace
of the great Doctor Joseph Park
er. He built the City Temple and
was its minister for thirty-four
years and exercised a ministry
remarkable for its spiritual and
intellectual qualities. . He was
also the author of forty volumes;

every one of them thoughtful
and stimulating. Yet when Park
er was a lad, running around
the streets of Hexham, he was
considered below average in '‘in
telligence. He played with boys
younger than himself and was
dull and. slow to learn. The only
thing he appears to have ex
celled in was playing marbles.
Then, during the revival of
religion which swept over the
border country, Joseph Parker
became an enthusiastic Christ
ian, and this apparently dull lad
woke up. He began to teach in
the local Sunday School, to dis
tribute tracts from door to door.
But that which aroused interest
in all who knew him, was his
intellectual awakening. He was
no longer slow and' backward.
Speaking of this period of his
life, Henry Ward Beecher said:
"When religion came to Joseph
Parker, every bell in his belfry
began to ring.”
It seemed as if every faculty
in the boy had been sleeping and
now
ion,
was
boy
buy
very early age, but by dint of
hard study made up for it. He
taught himself shorthand; a
rare accomplishment in those
days. He cut pieces out of news
papers, pinned them to his bed
room wall 'send, committed them
to memory.
No one who knew him as a
boy, would think it possible that
the apparently dull lad would
develop Into one of the , most
forceful personalities of his gen
eration, or that for thirty years,
he would -conduct a vnoon-day
service each Thursday with an
attendance, seldom less than a
thousand, and often twice
large. It was not unusual
find twenty m embers of
House of Commons present
these services.
Followers of Karl .Marx
frequently refer to religion
an "opiate”, that their propa
ganda has led some to think
that religion .has only a restrain
ing influence upon its followers.
It is true that it restrains people
from evil; from that which
would injure them, but to think
of religion primarily as restraint
is to put the cart before the
horse. Religion stimulates and
inspires as it did in the case of
young Parker.
Those who regard religion as
a "wet blauket” or “A skeleton
at ,t h e ifeast of life,” have ac
cepted what is really a travesty;
a caricature of religion. Jesus
said, “'I am come that they
might have life and that they
might have it more abundantly.”
True religion makes a man, but
more of a man, as one leader
puts it; “It means not the push
ing in of the organ stops and
shutting off the music, but the
drawing of every stop that the
music may swell forth in all its
rich and full-voiced harmonies.”
God calls Upon men and
women to deny themselves but
that is only that they may enter
into a larger, fuller, richer life.
As I think of the thousands of
young Canadians in our schools
and colleges, I know that relig
ion can bring to them, as
brought to Joseph Parker,
more abundant life.
Our quotation to-day is by
Charles Kingsley: "What I want
is, not to possess religion, but
to have a religion that shall
possess me.”

Pardon our pointing... with pride.
But it’s an event when the number of bank workers
passes the 40,000 mark—as it did last year.
That’s 65% more than before the war.
It’s an event, first, because it shows the increased use
of Canadian bank services ...
More deposit accounts: now over seven million*
More funds: customers’ deposits now reach nearly seven
billion dollars. More services: to farmers; to personal and
small-business borrowers; to war pensioners; to
people receiving Family Allowances.
It’s an event, too, because of the kind of men and
women who have joined Our ranks. Eager to get ahead,
they are finding in banking an interesting job, a
challenging career. They can tell you how important
privacy in banking is to the Canadian way of doing things.
