(photo by Dave Sykes) Riddell calls for review of stalemate An open letter to Robert Elgie, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. I am writing to you regarding a matter of urgent importance requiring your im- mediate attention. It concerns the recent decision by the Ontario Racing Commission of December 20th to allow afternoon and night post times for thoroughbred racing on the Ontario Jockey Club circuit in 1985. In view of the stalemate in negotiations on any possible solutions to the Ontario harness racing strike, I request your immediate review of this situation. need not tell you of the serious hardships for a great number of persons and organiza- tions which is created as a result of the stop- page of standardbrect horse racing in the proviunce. The standardbred industry has developed racing operations in every area of the province creating significant invest- ment and employment. Your lack of involvement in helping to tesolve tlAs, situation is, totally unaccep: IVioreUirer, my .attempts to contact you or the Chairman of the Ontario Racing Commission on a number of occasions to help resolve this situation have been futile as my telephone calls have not been return- ed. I hope that your actions on this matter are not an indication of the lack of importance with which you view this situation. If that is the case, I would urge that you ask the Premier to transfer the jurisdiction of the Ontario Racing Commission to the Minister of Agriculture and Food to where it rightly belongs. As you are abundantly aware, racing After dark in this province has traditionally remained. the sole preserve of the standard- 4reCIS Wixf pioneered nightracing inthepro- Vince. The decision of the Ontario Racing Com- mission is a complete reversal of traditional and declared preference by the thoroughbreds for early afternoon racing Until very recently. Moreover, that decision . remains even more baffling m view fact that the Ontario Racing Commission Name and identity is an important issue Dear editor, "Minisier's Study" in your issue of January 9 dealt with the importance of "name and identity". The writer said: "Everyone needs an identity expressed in the name or names.. by which he or she is called." Evidently there is little unity of belief among religious leaders. The Preface of the Revised Standard Version Bible says: "The use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished ... is en- tirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church." However, in the Anglican Theological -Revie* of October 1959 Doctor Walter Lowrie highlighted the need to know God's name. He said: "In hyan relationships it is highly important to know the proper name, the personal name of oneiwe love, to whom we are speaking, or even about whom we speak. Precisely so it is in man's relation to God. A man who does not know God by name does not really know Him as a person, has no speaking acquaintance with ( which is meant by prayer), and he can iiot tial force." or as a part ora mysterious 'trinity'). The King James ( Authorized version) Bi- bje_renders_ God's 41er_sonal.._name_ LORD" has been substituted (sometimes not all capitalized). For ihstance, .at Romans 10:13 we read: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lordshall be saved." And the marginal reference refers the reader. to Joel 2:32, which reads: "... whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD (all capitals) „shall be delivered." The Hebrew -English New Testament published by the TrinitarianBible Society, has at Romans 10:13 the Hebrew Tetragrammaton "HVHJ" which transliterated mak q "JeHoVaH". That is why Paul, at Rol5_10:14 asks: "How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher!' Now, I ask: If the use of any proper name for God "is entirely inappropriate for the faith of the Christian Church" how -can those who depend upon the "Church" for in- struction in worship "call upon the name of JEHOVAH," if, as the World Council of • Churches confesses: "the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Savior according to the Scrip- tures and therefore seek to fulfill their com- .fileisim.owa.onlgasanimpa r- JEHOVAH only a few times; otherwise in the over 7000 tirnes that name appears in the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures the title,"the mon _calling_to_the glory oLthe,one-Godr- Father, Son and Holy Spirit." (1 Corinthians 8:6 R.S.V.). To my mind, this is an important question,, involving. the.
