J. Chute, in Ad- dress on India, Denies Suppression of Natives --Toronto Pastor Also Speaks Tuesday morning marked the opening of the forty-fourth an- nual meeting of the Whithy- Lindsay Association of Baptist Churches, convening in the First Baptist Church, of this city. After interesting and helpful sessions in the morning and afier- noon, the third meeting was held in the evening, Rev. F. T. Best, of Whitby, the moderator, taking the chair. Rev. Gordon Holmes, of Lind- say, conducted the devotional per- fod last evening. Mr. Joseph Wil- king extended the address of wel- ccme in behalf of thé local con- gregation and Rev. Patterson of Christ Church extended greetings from the Oshawa Ministerial As- sociation. Reply was made by Rey« Holmes in his own inimit- aple way. A 'featurd of this session was a splegdid foreign mission address d.by Rev, E. J. Chute, re- 1 missionary from, India. Mr. Chute, in introducing his subject paid tribute to the mag- nificént work of the British Gov- ernmentd«in-India as he had ob- served it during thirty-six years of service there with his wife, Dector Chute, An increase of thirty million in population 'dur- ing only ten years' time was suf- ficient 'reply to the criticism of Great Britain for alleged suppres- sion there, said Rev. Chute, He dréw the contrast between 'illit- eracy and ignorance among the Indian people, pointing out that whereas the populace as a whole, is illiterate, they are in no way behind 'the western races in in- telligence. We do not, said the speaker, give these peoples their due, in our estimation of them. 'With reference to Miss Mayo's much-discussed book, "Mother In- dia," Mr. Chute claimed that the work is entirely true that it rep- resents only a part of Indian life and that the worst. The gradual change in the na- tion's own attitude to Christian- ity and the work of missionaries, was set forth in Rev. Chute's de- velopment of his address, which included a comprehensive review of: Baptist work in India during .his long term of service there. In concluding the speaker left with his audience an outlook of opti- mism for the future work of the (Continued on page 3) Generous Donations to Gardening Scheme The Women's Welfare League wishes to thank the following for their very generous donations to their Gardening Scheme, Mrs. Allehin paper bags for par- celling seeds; Mr. Cooper, 75 lbs. dutch set onions and also donation on price given on potatoes; Mrs, Mathews, 1 1b. beans and 1 1b. peas, Mrs. Bennett, 2 bags pota- toes; Miss Rowe, 1 basket of po- tatoes and pumpkin seed; Mrs, Hardsand, cabbage plants; Mrs, Danzey, corn and beans; Mrs. Mc- Kay, assorted seeds; Mrs. Leask, 2 bags potatoes and Miss Burns, potatoes. _ There have been 90 applieations accepted and seeds and plants sup- plied to them.

His address was couched in simple casily understood = language inter- spersed with humorous witticisms, and treated in this manner a sub- ject which might easily have lost in- tercst if presented in the "dry" manner usually attributed to the scientist, became one in which the audience was absorbed. According to Dr. Stefansson's de- scription of the territory within the Arctic Circle, it is by no meaus the 'frozen north', that current opinion paints it, but rather a place where ideal weather prevails during the summer months, the thermometer standing often at ninety degrees in the shade, and where mosquitoes are by no means entirely unknown, When speaking of conditions to be found at the top of the earth, the North Pole, and the remaining ter- ritory inside the Arctic Circle one is evidently speaking of two very different things, according to Dr. Stefansson. At the Pole, the tem- perature seldom, if ever, rises above fifty degrees below zero, but outside the immediate vicinity of the Pole, but still inside the Arctic Circle, very different conditions are found to exist. Dr. Stefansson showed a number of most interesting lantern slides illustrating life among the Esqui- maux in the Arctic Circle, bearing out his statements regarding con- ditions and dispelling all the usual illusions regarding life within the Circle itself. Durng his address he touched on the fact that Sir Haobert Wilkins, who is even now on 'a trip in his rebuilt submarine bound for the North Pole, was at onc time the master of one of the ships which formed the speakers expedition while employed in government sur- vey work. Dr. Stefansson expressed cdnfid- ence in' the result of Sit Hubert's venture, stating that the use of sub- marines in such exploration work | was" the logical method since the development of these craft to their present state.

M. Douglas, Harry Gay and J. T. Dalby, past presidents, and A 1{. Power, secretary, who ex- preseed regret that, owing to the condition of his health, the presi- dent of the Oshawa branch was unable tb be present. The speeches were all couched in an enthusiastic vein for the future progress of the Legion. and the Toronto speakers who replied all expressed the greatest confidence in the provincial and dominion commands. An excellent program of enter- tainment was provided, Jimmy Reed, the well-known - Scottish entertainer, taking a prominent part. Bob Gibbie, George Smith 'and George Walsh of the Oshawa branch were also called upon. and their songs were much enjoyed. The fraternal spirit was of the highest order, and it was well af- ter midnight hefore a most en- joyable and profitable gathering broke up.

In Different Position In our opinion Oshawa is in a different position to every city in Ontario, with the exception possibly of Windsor where conditions are something the same, and we think that Oshawa should get special con- sideration. "In the meantime if any person is in rcal need of immediate help go and lay your case before Miss Farn- comb (The City Relief Officer). We are going to sce to it that no per son 1s in actual want for the neces- sities of life."
