It should be admitted that the Hol« linger was a vital factor in the buildâ€" ing of Timmins. At the very start, the Hollinger built a large and modâ€" ern hotel for the new community, pro. vided a big skating rink and a sports field, and gave valuable help, not alâ€" ways recognized, but Timmins was neâ€" ver a "company,. town," and its growth and development were the result of the effort and the spirit of the people themâ€" selyvs. â€" of the hotel was Hugh, Mulheron, @ pionger of Porcupine, and a long-t.fme friend of the first mayor, W. H. Wilâ€" son. The banquet was a full course one, with all the "trimmings," and was so enjoyable that a special vote of thanks was passed to "Mine Host Mulheron and Mrs, Mulheron." Dayton Ostrosser, president of the Timmins Board of Trade, presided at the banquet, In welcoming the fortyâ€" odd guests, the first president of the Timimins Board of Trade, noted that all sections of ithe community were represented at the event. Starting with a meére clearing in the bush by 1917, Timmins had grown to comfortable town of three thouâ€" sand with the essential facilities of modern life either available or on the way. This was a creditable achieveâ€" ment but it was still more to the creâ€" dit of the pioneers that they realized what had been accomplished, and how much they owed to those who had taâ€" ._ken a leading part. ‘There was general appreciation of the mayor and councils of the first five years of the town who had done so much, despite the lack of money, and all the other difficulties and handi. caps naturally encountered. Just think of how silently and Wiindly Simon was led into the place of honour. Hewasnotanativeof fibouapn'u.

We read in the gospel story that they compeled him to bear his cross. And there is the idee we always asgociate with a cross. It is no aomething which we willingly thing that is imâ€" d on‘ had no choice o bear it. And it is so still. No life is without etao! b")‘ hmfr mrfd is a pmtunl crossâ€"bearing. It may be physical, mental or spiritual but mbydaywemmtbearit And this was certainly true of Simâ€" on of Cyrene. When he awoke that morning in that little inn where he had slept most of the last night in the long journey from his native land to Jerusalem, he little expected that he would be one . of»the »chief«actors in that tragic and most wonderful inâ€" cident with which his name would be identified for all time. He simply came out of the country, was at a cerâ€" tain place et a certain time. and beâ€" cause of that his name becomes inâ€" im the gospel narrative will hold the interest of all to whom mfiss;ery is told. oversleptw' that mormng and been a few ndmlte late, He might not have" entered Jemnialem by that certain gate and therefore escaped being in that place where the crowd met him. But he was there at the time when the crowd surging from the city gate was on its way to Calâ€" vary with Jesus in the midst and beâ€" cause of that and beacuse he was a big swarthy man and no doubt they saw he was by his appearance used to loil and accustomed to bear heavy burdens and the Saviour had fainted under the heavy weight of the cross they laid it upon Simon‘s shoulâ€" ders and compelled him to bear it after Jesus. Now there are several things in this incident which may well claim our attention. And the first is this. a Uliko â€"â€"AUGVULL ‘III $wilk DAVYCAA _ 4j UAS J _ \ itself to unc}erstatements. -'» ‘â€" foOf r:s â€"was uid is tze Iooid= : wo ;é the zol- and I “ ugted ;at ; q:m! town. w The _ manager â€" Bon d L Dayton Ostrosser, presldent of the Timmins Boeard of Trade, presided at the banquet.

President Ostrosser and the vanous other speakers paid due tribute to the genérous serv.cés "to "the tUWn of its first mayor. The dlfficultlés ‘he and his ‘councils had to were appreciated.

Would you or I have done the same if we were placed in Simons shoes? I wbnder!

What Jesus said to Simon in that last sacred fellowship I do not know and it is too sacred for us to even cenjecture. But this ‘we do know that when Simon came into the city that mornâ€" ing the name of Jesus meant little or all Jerusalem was ringing, it is probâ€" able that that was the first time he had heard the name. To be sure he could not have refused when in their masterful‘ way the thousand soldiers ordered him ‘to take up the cross unâ€" der which the prisoner was fainting. That â€"was reckoned odious ‘service not ‘asked for of the lowest. and his wide experience in ha’hd.ling men and ~a@ffairs making his ‘services particularly ‘effective.© biv|t Then why d_id he !pt refuse ? did he see in Christ that i The appeal to Simon Avas the eleâ€" mentary human appeal of sorrow of a feMow mortal in distress. But that is the road along which Christ comes to us all. There is no special way cut for the christian appeal. God uses the eclementary human channels. You cannot bar out the human and admit the purely Christian or. the spiritual for they come by the same road. You are on the way to succor Jesus Christ when you help a needy brother by ‘the roadside. And this rings true in.the: experience of all who have come to know their Lord. The cross with its attendant cirâ€" cumstances may at first cause us to shrink back in terror, when we feel its falling weight upon our shoulders, It is not something which we can willingly accept. But the sight of the weary, fainting Christ as He goes up the hard, steep hill to Calvary, takes some of the sting out of it and we accept it because we have come. to realize that He has bourne a heavier cross for us. But.another thing we ‘recalling‘ for: the prophésies: they: held. ‘Cotcilor Chas, Plereeé, for ‘example, insisted that hewould*"live to seeTim. mins a regular city. He. did llye_ to sce the town a real c.t.y in all but name. . * Of course, Dr., Mcnlinis was his usâ€" ual genial, optimistic self. "In the next ten years," he said, "Timmins is going to grow to a prosperoys and hnappy town of 10,000." As Timmins was then only about three thousand, with conditions from the first world war handicapping it in many ways, the truth of the Doctor‘s forecast was not apparent. But anyone who will look up the assessment of the town wil find that in 1926, the popuâ€" lation of the town was given As 11,652,, "At that bé:mquet, the: "darress of, C.j ‘M. Auer,; introduced ‘as the "Mayor o ‘Matiagami ‘He. ghts", was" {consider as outstanding for its timeély‘ wit and ‘humour.‘> Some, however, took® gor jwi and hunour what ‘has© pndvcn be solid truth. For ‘instance, ‘ Mr/ Au sugsested that the ‘day wis‘not too ffar distant‘ : when “Matt,agaml Hclghts” would be as large as bhe ‘wwu of Timmins of that day. _ a woiderfhl difference: ): Didâ€"yon gnd I know at the beginning the crogses that we must begr‘as take out Journey through life, : a ma:fam.wa egould niot standâ€"up to them. ~L‘am afrald}we should‘ faint and fall by the way, e'yen ‘before the cross is laid upon‘us; And isn‘t. it one the gheat: benefits of‘ pnov- idence that the future is Hidden from us?

In 1917, ‘"‘Mat. tagami Heights," was not a part of Timmins. It was simply a townsite owned by Mr. Auer. _ It comprised most of the land between what is now If we knew beforehand dnsap- pointments and> misfortunés 1n llfe, if we knew the dark way which someâ€" times we must tread and think we tread it alone; if we knew not and believed not that every cloud has its silver lining, I‘m afraid that many of us would be deterred from going on. But this ‘we do know that when Simon came into the city that mornâ€" ing the name of Jesus meant little or nothing to him. And when he left it again for his home in far off Cyrene it was with a memory deep in his heart of three crosses set on a hill against a darkened sky. Three crosses on the midmost of: which Jesus had But thank God, yes, thank God, we can see our Saviour going before and where He leads we should not be aâ€" fraid to follow. And I have no doubt but that it was the fact that Jesus was going on before that enabled Simon to bend his back that morning and take upon it that shameful load. SE Eie ue e se "r'-' UE It is quite possible ior ‘us. to iinaâ€" gine that Jesus may ha,ve‘ spol;em. to Simon. We remember ho(v gracio@ly He rewarded Mary, her, gifty of ointment.‘ Would He be likely o nolice He didn‘t know it when that mornâ€" ing he was pressed into service. He simply took up the shameful load, knowing not what he did. He did not know that he was stepping into the very hegart of the greatest scene in the history of the world. Aferwards he did know and gave God thanks. But his moment came to him on silent foot and was gone before he knew it me?
