PAGE EIGHT "HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1930 YMCA. BRANCH IN VERDON DEDICATED Canon Shatford Officiates at Servics in Splendid \ Building GIVES INSPIRATION Edifice Contains Gymnasium Library, Theatre, Pool and Other Rooms Montreal, Feb. 11.--In invoking God's blessing on the swimming pool, gyningeium, theatre and Jibrary, a unique service was performed at the dedication of the new Southwestern 'Branch of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association at Verdun, Sunday aftcinoon, Canon A. P. Shatford, sar - "In times pa ce declared, "we have usually reserved dedicatory ser- vices for Churches and buildifgs of that type. We have not thought it either wise or necessary to dedicate a gyviunasiun, a pool and a theatre, "Now, we are claiming for the pur- poses of religion every department oi human life. 'e are endeavoring to spirituaiize all" human activities. No- thing is to be excluded fiom the Go- tain or religion. I submit to you that that is a very unusal thing to 1 Comot know r-my persongl| | do, experience that before. Yet gloricus inspira ways been the it has ever been done seems to me to have ion in it. If has al- dream of mankind that the time would come when all human interests would be dedicated and consec d to God. Wg have lc dedication to certain types of build- ings ; in this ceremony we have made it wide enough to include every in- terest of humanity. The churches are the preat temples of God, but there are also the lesser temples. It is somewhat astoinshing how we have gone on with our division of things into sacred and secular, into spiritual and material, into religious and pro- fane, No Profane Music "We have taken music and divided it into sacred and profane. I never heard any profane music in my life. | have heard music profaned. I have evens heard church choirs do that. The only | profanity of music is in the heart of the singer. "Then, there is the temple of the body. We have sports and games and meals, We know that there is not an appetite of the body which is not holy. We know that the only evil is in the man who uses wrongly the appetites and the Tacultics of the body. So, in the Young Men's Christian Association, we are dedica- ting today the temple of the body. Through the physical we may ex- press the will of Almighty God. "Another lesser temple is the tem- ple of "nowledge. We claim that're- ligion is. to permeate evefy intellec- tual nursuit of mankind. We are not allowing any knowledge to be outside the protection of religion. "And the third lesser that of art for here you are going to have a little theatre. The Theatre was born, in the Church, The first plays were morality plays. The thea- tre became so corrupt that it had to go outside the Church, We are de- claring that there is inspiration and beauty in art, and if you select plays which are wholesome and clean and make tor inspiration and idealism you will have the blessing of God upon your theatrical performances. "And there is the temple of play. Every instinct is surely a divine one.

N Did not God implant in us all a Jove of play. Surcly, the temple of play can he claimed for God Almighty. "We want to redeem business, up- lift politics, refiorn society. We want to spiritualifie secular things. That is what. this ceremony means." Mrs, Bee: "I want a book for an invalid." Librarian: "Something of a reli- gious nature, perhaps, madam?" Mrs. Bee: "Oh, no. He's conval- escent, now. ' Something bright." C. P. R, TIME TABLE 29. 1929, 4 i refused to confine consecration and] i} temple is What seasoned mariners consider to be a remarkable feat was the Cun- arder "Maurentania's" recent fast mid-winter crossing between New York and 'England which was accom- plished in 4 days, 23 hours and 3 minutes, at an average speed of 2542 knots, This time figured from New York to Eddystone lighthouse, Ply- mouth, is only a few hours longer than the "Maurentania's" best time of 4 days, 17 hours and 50 minutes, at an average speed of 27.22 knots registered befween the same points, last August. In view of the severe gales that have been experienced re- Cunard Line Celebrates = | Its 90th Anniversary cntly, which have made even express liners between 2 and 3 days lite, this fast crossing will probably stand®as the most oufstanding on the high seas, this winter. 90th Anniversary It is interesting to note that this year the Cunard Line celebrates its 90th anniversary, which recalls 10 mind the exploits of that great Can- adian, Samuel Cunard, founder of the Cunard Line, the oldest steamship company operating on the trans-At- lantic route. Born at Halifax in 1787 of humble United Empire Loy- alist stock, he dire¢ted his business N abilities at an early age towards ship- ping. Commencing by buying and selling captured enemy prizes and thew 'cargoes and rapidly extending his business, he was, at the age of 27'engaged in the forwarding of mail to Newfoundland. Shortly after- wards he was distributor of Her Ma- jesty's mails in Canada, the United States, Newfoundland and Bermuda, which he transported in his fleet of 10-gun brigs. First Steam Liners In 1831 he became interested in the advent of steam shipping, heading the list of subscribers who built the "Royal William," the first vessel to cross the Atlantic under her own 'steam. ' Fired with the possibilities of the future of steam propulsion, he conceived, the idea of applying this that time 'well known on both sides of the Atlantic as a genius of busi- ness, and a man whose 40 ships pro- vided the Maritimes with one of the chief sources of their activities, left for England in 1838 in response to a missive recetved from the lord com- missioners of the admiralty inviting hith to submit tenders for the con- veydnce of Her Majesty's mails to the North Ainerican continent, After experiencing some little dif- ficulty in raising sufficient capital to embark on his ambitious enterprise he was finally awarded the contract, and gave orders for the construction of four paddle-wheel steamers of the following dimensions: 1154 gross tons, length 207 feet, breadth 34 ft. 2 in, depth 24 ft. 4 in., with a horse power of 740 and a speed of 835 new method of locomotion to his own ships. Samuel Cunard, who was at knots. These vessels were known as | the "Britannia," "Acadia," "Colum- bia" and "Caledonia" and were to be delivered in 1840 to carry on the mail contract awarded to Cunard"s com- pany known at that time as the Bri- tish and North American Royal Mail steam Packet Company, Perhaps the best known and most easily re- membered of these vessels was the famous old "Britannia," 'which was the first Cunarder to Cross the At- lantic under her own steam, Onc of the proudest moments in Cunard's life was on July 4th, 1840, when he set sail from Liverpool on | board the "Britannia" on its inaugu- ral run for Halifax and Boston, the forerunner of the present great fleet of Cunarders, totalling today ncarly a million tons of shipping. After bat- tling with the hazards of the Atlan- tic for 13 days, he triumphantly steamed into Halifax harbour on the | morning of the 17th, finally arriving | in Boston a few_ hours later where | he was acclaimed by the pdpulace for his outstanding achievement, fe. ceiving no less than nearly 2000 din- ner invitations during 'the first day of his arrival in Boston. Samuel Cunard lived to see his" great conception take practical form, and was knighted by the British Gov- ernment for services rendéred dur- ing the Crimean War, Hé died in 1895 at the age of 78, when his son Edward followed in his footsteps.
