KEPLER OF SHANGHAI ADDRESSED LARGE CONGREGATION Says China of Today is] Faced With Three Alter- atives --, Communism, Militarism or Christian- ity FUTURE TASK IS DIFFICULT ONE Large Part Which Young People of China Are Playing In Development of Their Country Is Stressed "China to-day is faced with three alternatives -- Communism, Militar- ism and Christianity," said Rev. A. R. Kepler, D.D., of Shanghai, China, who preached at the morning ser- vice in Simcoe Street United Church on Sunday, in describing the achievements and tasks of the Church of Christ in China. . Dealing with the achievements of the church in the foreign field, the preacher asserted that the loyalties and beliefs of the Chinese people were such that denominationalism was disconcerting and unnecessary in their minds. With some one hundred and thirty missionary societies from three continents working among the people each in its own denominational manner Christianity could never be at its best and would never be accepted by the Chinese nation as a whole, as the Christian Church must be truly Chinese in which the leader- ship was merged. This was the only manner in which the crisis facing | the church could be met as a multi- tude of names would injure the work being done and not tend to invite the confidence of the people. The youth of the country, it was stated, would have a great deal to do with the future development of the country, for the young men and women were enthused with their own knowledge and were making every effort to advise their elders of the course which they should follow. . It was only by reaching these young people through the medium of religion that the future of China for Christianity could be assured, Christianity must be such that it will appeal to the young and be somethirig in which they could nd the principles and ideals for which they are seeking and which would influence their lives. An evi- dence that the chinese student is finding what he wants 'in religion, is seen in the large number who are accepting Jesus as their Saviour (Continued o on n page 4) * STILL SEARCHING FOR BANDITS WHO SHOT CONSTABLE (By Canadian Press) Beaverton, Ont., Oct. 17--Provin- cial Constables, local police and citizens today are searching for the man who shot at and wounded Pro vincial Constable Cecil Taylor in Cannington last Wednesday.

REDUCTION IN PRICE OF COKE 1S NOT GENERAL -- RYE Only One Dealer Makes Announcement--Others The annuncement made in the ad- vertising colons of this paper on Saturday by H. Mallett, Albert Street, SiR his reduction in price to the consumer of coke down to $9.50 a ton has created a great deal of interest, while future de- velopments will be closely watched. Other dealers in the city, 'accord- ing to opinions expressed to The Times this morning, have no inten- tion of immediately following the lead set by Mr. Mallett and ex- pressed their surprise that such a drastic reduction could be consider- ed possible. Some of the opinions expressed by other local dealers were "coke cannot be sold for that in Oshawa. He mav have oue car-load on his hands but that is as far as it wih go'. He cannot po sibly car I at that price. "He is the only lo- cal dealer that has considered such a drastic reduction, it simply cannot be done." At any rate the other dealers are unanimous that a fair measure of profit is quite impossible under a price of $9.50 to the con- sumer, In the meantime coke orders are being received by Mr, Mallett at the greatly redluced price, while, according to his announcement on Saturday, he is also refunding $1.50 to all of his customers who pur- chased coke for $11.00 per ton since July 1 of this year.

E. Harston Was Speaker at Sunday Af. ternoon Service "True brotherhood is impossible without Christ's faith and Christ's outlook, and without a recognition of the fatherhood of God." This was the theme of an impressive address by Capt. the Rev. Ernest Harston at the Sunday afternoon meeting of the Christian Social Brotherhood held in the New Mar- tin Theatre yesterday. The attend- ance 'was the largest since the brotherood was started, and Mr. Harston's message was received with rapt attention. T. S. Aikman, president, occupied the chair, and the musical feature was the singing of a beautiful vocal duct by Mrs. Carkeek and Mrs. F. Williams, Touching on the ralse idea that brotherhood might be founded on a common humanity Captain Hars- ton said that the war has smashca the former ideals of humanitarian- ism which relegated God to second place, and that the materialistic philosophy which had sprung up since the war had also failed, The great need was to recognize God as the Father, and to bring brother- hood under His fatherhood. Making Brotherhood Real "Nothing else," he said, "can keep us practising it during these difficuit days. When Paul saw in Christ the possibility of making brotherhood a real thing, he was not talking theory, but talking facts. The things which make life a hell for so many people are pride, bitter- ness, jealousy and hatred, and the only way in which these can be rooted out of the lives of men is by Jesus Christ. He alone can do it." Parable as Illustration Using the parable of the Good Samaritan as an illustration, Mr. Harston said there were four atti- (Continued on page 4) EVENING COURSED START TOMORROW List of Subjects To Be Taught This Season Is Announced With a reduced number of courses, including only those who have a direct practical value, the evening classes of the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute will be opened for the season tomorrow evening at 7.30, when Principal O'Neill will be at the school to take registrations and organize the classes.

ARMSTRONG Whose appointment as manager of the Oshawa Arena has becn announced 1oday, municipalities In the administra- tion of relief through the Public Welfare Board arises out of the policy lald down by the Ontario Government to the effect that food costs may properly amount per cent. of the total in municipal relief statements of expenditures, while other than food supplies shall not consti- tute more than forty per cent, of the total expended for relief. According. to recent figures published in this paper the cost of food, Issued from the City Relief Depot in this city, is ap- proximately $3.09 for an ave family per week. The total cost per month would, therefore, be something under $15.00 at a maximum, With. the sum of $15.00 form- ing sixty per cent. of the total for the average family in any month the other forty per cent. would, there- fore, In accordance with the Gov- ernment's regulations, amount to a maximum of $10 A literal interpretation of the regulations leaves 810, as the amount which mav he expended by the city and Public Welfare Board in providing shelter or rent, water, light, fuel, clothing, medical services and supplies, To supply these necessaries to an average family for the sum of $10 is, quite evidently, an Im- nossibility, and it will probably be discussed by the Public Wel- fare Board at its meeting to- morrow night. rage TAX COLLECTOR WAS KEPT BUSY Saturday Was Last Day For Payment of Taxes Without Penalty Saturday was the last day for taxpayers of this city to pay their taxes for 1932 provided they wished to escape the penalty of five per cent, to be added under the civie by-law.

"While the number of lives saved has been tripled," said Dr. Martin, "the average days' stay of a patient in a hospital has been cut in two.
