THE TIMESâ€"ADVERTISERâ€"Thursday, April 26, 1962â€"Page 2 * Visualize, if you can, the welcome sight of an old land mark, after a Yong tedious drive over the old plank and mud roads travelled by the :Pa-n to Weston standing on the rising land at Church and what is now Weston Road it was the old Savage Residence built in 1846, The Village was the centre of trade in those days with its 965 reâ€" : aidents, its assessments of $250,000 and a levy of $1,400 to carry on the municipal administration, ' As the village recorded its incorporation register, it showed the Church Street and Main Street with its Brewery on the West side and its mills along the river bank, the Savage home was a land mark. Stray Thoughts It is not known definitely when this lovely, outstanding, mansion, perched on the rise of ground at the South East corner of Church and Main Street was built, it is said to be 116 years ago. It was built shortly after the ir Mr. Gracey, who was then owner destroyed the Brewery in 1871. moved away. Dr. Thomas Young Savage secured the property in 1884. From that date this old, imposing, residence has stood out till this week or at the passing of Miss Ethel Savage a few months ago, as a welcomed sign, as a centre of culture. The wreckers have demolished the home and are cutting down the grade to erect a shopping centre with apartâ€" ments over the stores. It will be in keeping with the trend of the times. Dr. Savage was an accomplished medical scholar, a politian, a comâ€" munity builder and gave liberally of his talents for his fellow citizens He was born in Savannah, Georgia, of wealthy parents. His grandâ€" ];:e:m:g; He is assisted };v Glen‘ parents came over on the Mayflower. After his father‘s death, his Rest, | mother with the family moved to Philidelphia and then to Toronto.

Have we not instilled in the hearts and minds of the younger aspirant that they must build better than we have built. It is the plan of the creator of the universe and has been the order from the first day of creation. Therefore let us accept the condition. Let us do our part to leave this universe with foundations for others to build upon, with greater beauty and ‘more and more profound solidity. We all miss the beautiful old Savage landâ€" mark that has stood the test of the years but we look forward to the success of the new venture that will create more business for the ever increasing population of Weston, Wt hsn hnd( 1 uitc 000 uim A Christian Thought In the year 1942 on the peninsula of Bataan, the Japanese were successfully infiltrating the lines of the American‘s by learning the password and posing as friendly Philipinos. On January the 20th the Americans put a stop to this pracâ€" tice by choosing "lallapalooza" as the password. The senâ€" tries who were under order to fire upon anyone who could not say the word found it quite simple to pick out the enemy because the Japanese were unable to pronounce the letter "1". The nearest they could come was "rarraparoosa." ‘There is a password in this Christian life and our interâ€" pretation of it through our lives reveals whether we have the Spirit of Christ or not. It is the word love. The word of God fells us that by their fruits shall ve know them. If we have the Spirit of Christ then love is bound to show forth from our lives. It has come to my notice lately concerning two large families who were bereaved of their mother. One family knew the Lord as their Personal Saviour the other did not. The grandmother who was a Christian stepped in and took care of the children. The other grandmother told the bereaved husband to put the children in a home. woad. The world cried out "Foo!" for the Cross that He e@rtied was not His, the crown of thorns was not His, neither was the burden of sin His own. But the crowning point of love is our ability to love when in return we receive only lovelessness. This is divine love, the type of love that Jesus had when He walked the Calvary The world will also cry out "Foo!" to us also if we dare to love the Calvary Jove in 1962, praying for those who despitefully use us, taking patiently the insults both large and small that come our way. We can only live the Calvary love if we are closs to Him, and if we are close to Him "then the cares of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace." fi(}om\ichnl once pr'nrd that whatever God wished r from her life would He leave the power to love. t us s6ek to dwell in love for if we dwell in love we dwell in God. ifter the incorporation of the Village, for a then owner of the Brewery.
