PACE EIGHT re THE DAILY TIMES.-GCAZETTE SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1948 Ghandi's Long Teaching May Help To Keep Peace By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst With the great Gandhi dead at the hand of an assassin, observers are anxiously seeking the signifi- cance of this shocking event not only to the Indian peninsula's mil- lions but to the world at large-- for what affects that vast sub- continent in a major way must also affect other lands. I was in Atlanta, Ga., when the shocking news 'of the Mahatma's death broke, and for hours news- boys maintained an endless chant in the streets: "Gandhi assassinat- ed! Gandhi assassinated!" There we had a measure of the disaster. Gandhi was dead in Delhi, and half a world away Atlanta was deeply stirred. Our first thought is that the Ma- hatma's murder has created a ter- rible threat to the already-troubled peace of his country, for it comes at a moment when politico-reli- gous feelings are running high. It could precipitate the mest ter- rible fratricidal conflict of history. The fact that it was one of Gan- dhi's own people--a Hindu--who slew him may serve to keep things in hand--but unhappily that doesn't necescorily follow, as wit- ness the killing which already has taken place in Bombay: Bitterness is strong between the Hindus and the Moslems in many areas, and each side is quick to charge misfortunes against the other, 8o while hoping for the best, we mustn't dismiss the possibili- ties of more bloodshed. Still the fact that Gandhi died, as he would have wished to die, while at prayer, will have a strong influence on his followers, 'and apropos of this thought British Prime Minister Attlee says: "I am certain his spirit will con- tinue to animate his fellow coun- trymen- and will plead for peace and concord." That would seem to be a fair ap- praisal. Our chief concern is whe= ther the. grief of his people may overwhelm them in its first fierce rush and cause them to violate the peace to which he devoted his life. Ontario Spotl CENTENARIAN HONORED Niagara Falls, Jan, 31--(CP) -- Mrs. Rachel Ann Fashington, direct descendant of the ancient Kings and Queens of Africa, celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday at a tea party arranged by the prayer bank of the Pentecosal Church here.

When the vote came at 6 p.m. many seats were vacant. Mr, Ahoik said that while the government has not yet touched th, $300,000,000 loan ad on the U.S. Import-Export Bank it may Wish to do so "later this YO do not vent 0 not venture to prophes how long it will be Serr op will be able to build up our reserves to what I would call a satisfactory or comfortable level as the result of the various long-run measures we are jeting to get our economy 0 a better balance with th the United States." th thet of He reiterated that dollar devalu- ation would not help the Canadian situation, The question had been raised about the protectionist feature of the legislation. This was a "neces- sary evil." "Of course, let me say this, that there has been talk here of domi. nation by the United States and some other country, Let me say this, that a nation which loses its exchange reserves loses its inde- pendence. There is no mistake about Yat Mr. Cockeram declared that Mr. Abbott and the rest of the cabinet repeatedly had ignored Progres. sivé Conservative warnings that Canada's U.S. dollar reserves were dwindling. The government could not escape the responsibility for | f "letting the situation become as fi as J now is." r. Ferguson said passage of the Exchange Bill would Ree "terrible chaos" within Canada and charged that the government instead of enlisting the help of the Canadian people in meeting the situation, had kept them in the dark. Mr. Herridge said 'that barred fresh fruits and vegetables were needed for working men. A large section of his riding resented the dovetailing of Canadian policies with American wishes, There was || a sense of insecurity among farm- ers who wished to plan their crops because they didn't know what would come next. Scout Group (Continued from Page 1) Group Committee in relationship to the Local Association and other Groups in Oshawa. "Scouting in the city of Oshawa", he said, "is a very big movement!" He called on all the fathers to lend a hand in making Scouting a worthwhile and progressive asso- ciation. Congratulating the leaders and groups committee on their choice of Camp Samac as a place to hold 'their bansuet, he revealed that this was the first father and son banquet to be held in this Council house. Receives Thank You Badge A sad note was rendered when President Rigg anounced the com- ing departure of Mr, and Mrs. Gerry Stoneberg. He mentioned the great work they had done in bringing the Camp up to Scouting standards, and said. that they would be sadly missed by all. He especially. commended Mrs. Claire Stoneberg on her District work among the Packs in the City. To more clearly show the Local Asso- ciation's sappreciation he called Mrs, Stoneberg forward to present her with the coveted "Thank You Badge". This indeed was the high- light of the evening. District Commissioner J. Harold Batemen spoke next and brought the geod wishes of the Oshawa Scouts and Cubs to the 6th Group. Outlining the job of the commis- sioner's staff he said: "Our primary job is to give the boy everything that it is possible to give him. It should be also the job of every father of every Group in Oshawa to kelp us further this cause." Presents Badges Commissioner for Cubbing, Mrs. Dorothy Alker was asked to present proficiency badges to some of the Cubs. Calling on Ronnie Pierce, Bob Lee, Lloyd Lee, Allan Reading, Kingsley Taylor, Gary Taylor and Murray Glover in turn, she present. ed them with their proficiency bad- ges, Ronnie Pierce, Bob and Lloyd Lee each received their house or- derly badge while Alan Reading was presented with an additional badge, incidentally being the first first aider badge to be earned in the 6th Cub Pack. Bob Lee also reecived his collec- tor's badge, as did Kingsley Taylor, Gary Taylor and Murray Glover, Mrs. W. Corbett was asked to speak next, and she brought to the 6th Group the west wishes of the Mother's Executive Council for Oshawa. Commissioner's Anderson and Knight spoke next in turn, and they both urged the 6th Group to further efforts in 1948. M. Crawford presented the finan- cial report for 1947, which showed an appreciable balance left over. He commended the Scouts and Cubs for their splendid paper drive which netted the Group $53.58. Reviews Year _Scoutmaster Glenford Taylor re- viewed the Scout year, and noted that 41 meetings had been held, several hikes had been executed and that the boys had attended one week-end camp. Referring to the strength of the Group, he in- formed the fathers that of the 22 registered Scouts, 8 were second class, 12 were tenderfoot and two of the boys were recruits. Cubmaster Mollyann Dixson pre- sented her report next. She review. ed the year of Cubbing, mention- ing specifically the weiner roast, Indian night, and a special talent show that the boys had participat- ed in. She urged the fathers for permission to take the pack to Cub. land this spring, and to attend some of her meetings in 1948, Mr. Bramley at this point called on the leaders to come forward. To Cubmaster Dixson, and assistants Claire Stoneberg and Norma Bur- Tow he presented beautiful com- pacts, and to Scoutmaster Glen Taylor; retiring Scoutmaster Gor- don Crawford, and Assistant Scout- masters, Alan Hutcheon, ang Har- Ty Hutcheon he presented fine pens in appreciation ~ of their services nies the past year. oving pictures were shown Jot me. by Mr. Christopher i % : one] DS resenting the National During the intermission between ilms, a very splendid investiture was held, when Akela Dixson wel- comed Bddie Reid info the Pack as a full-fledged Cub.

During another intermission different Scout Patrols as some humorous skits, Mr. Bramley thanked the Moth- ers of the Group for thelr splendid work in serving the banquet and the evening concluded with the singing of "O Canada', LETS ALL GO TO CHURCH REGULARLY The Golden Text By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Lesson on the above topic for February 8' is John 6:35-40, 13:3-17, Colossians 1:9-20, the Memory Verse being John 13:34, "Love one another, even as I have Yoved you.") WHAT DO we know about Jesus --His life while He was on earth, associating with men for a few brief years? We know little of His boyhood, just one or two incidents. Of His manhood we know more and when we think about it, we know Him well because He never changed. He was always doing good, speaking truths fearlessly. Conderning the wrong, upholding the right. He was tender and com- passionate, whether it was with little children, or with sinning hu- man beings, like the rich young ruler or Mary Magdalene. What does He say of Himself? John quotes Him. "I am the bread of life, he that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst." Those words remind us of a recent lesson where He was talking with the Sa- maritan woman at the well. "But I said unto you, that ye also have seen Me, and believe not." To us it seems impossible that those working with Jesus, liv- ing with Him day after day, seeing what He did, hearing what He said, never really knew Him until after His crucifixion and resurrection. When He was gone from them, they probably remembered what He had said, such words as: "This is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day." What He Did in Perea These words Jesus spoke in Ca- pernaum, but those He spoke in John 13, and the scene following took place in Perea, east of the Jordan river. Jesus and His dis- ciples--all of them--were at sup- per on a Thursday night--the Last Supper before He was betrayed by Judas Iscariot. After supper Jesus rose, divested Himself of His outer garments and took a towel "and girded Himself." Then the Lord poured water into a basin and, kneeling before first one and then another of His dis- <iples, He washed their feet and dried them on the towel which was about His waist. Imagine the dis- ciples' amazement! What must they have thought? Yet none protested until Jesus came to Simon Peter, who said, "Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?" Jesus' answer is a little confusing to us, possibly, and to Peter at the moment. "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." Peter said firmly, "Thou shalt never wash my feet," and Jesus answered, "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me." Peter evi- dently thought it was not right for their leader to perform such an humble task, but Jesus wanted to teach them a lesson on this last night He was to spend with them. Peter. protested that if the Lord insisted on washing his feet, he should wash also his hands and his head, but Jesus said that was not necessary, "ye are clean, but not all," He said, knowing that in such a short time Peter would deny he ever knew Him, and all would for- sake Him. Then Jesus made His lesson clear to them. "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. "For T have given you an ex- ample, that ye should do as I have done to you. "Verily, verily 1 say unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord; neither he that is sent greater than He that sent him." "If 'ye know these things, happy are ye. if ye do them." No task should be too lowly for Christ's followers. He came to serve; so should we. Paul Writes. From Prison Tn his last imprisonment in Rome, Paul wrote to the church in Colosse, once an important Greek city in the province of Asia. Paul was worried about these Co- lossians because there a philosophy was being taught that denied the divinity -of Christ, and he was College Hill Sunday School SUNDAY--3 P.M. 3 pm.--Adult Discussion Class, 7 p.m.--Evening Service. 601 Montrave Avenue afraid the Colossians tempted to adopt it. "For this cause," he writes, "we also, since day we heard it, do not cease to pr: ou, and to desire that ye might be ed with the Ried of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understand- ing: "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God." "And, having made peace through the 'ood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things until Himself: by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." Ghandi's Fast By REV. R. BARCLAY WARREN The attention of the world was focussed on Gandhi during his re- cent fast. All gave a sigh of relief on learning that the fast was broken and that the leaders of the factions of India had pledged for peace. Just how real and enduring that peace will be will be seen in the months to come. It was a moving spectacle: an old man with the welfare of India at heart deliberately weakening his health that bloodshed among his countrymen might cease. But there was an event which occurred near- ly 2,000 years ago which was far more moving and had much greater effect upon the whole world. That was the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ. He had the welfare of the world on his heart. Neither were His interests confined to one or two generations. It was for the people of all time that He gave His life. Moreover, there is a real efficacy in the shed blood of Christ. Had Gandhi died, no one would have been saved from sin by trusting in the merits of his death. But Jesus Christ is God's Son. He has procured the atone- ment for sin. By faith in Him we are delivered from the guilt.and power of sin. We are reconciled to God. Again, our ' Saviour lives. Though He died, He rose again. He makes intercession for us at the throne of God. Respect to Gandhi; but love, hon- our and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. SPIRITUALIST CHURCH Pastor -- Rev. Coros LO.F.
