PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1948 Toronto Set To Welcome Barbara Ann Toronto, March 13 -- (CP) -- Toe-to-toe curb space was at a premium this morning as mobs of Torontonians bobbed heads and bent their ears to catch the tunes of "I'm Sitting On Top Of The World"--the signal that pert, bub- bling Barbara Ann Scott was being cascaded with ticker tape as she approached city hall. Canada's outstanding athlete of two consecutive years and person- ality-plus-beauty world champion woman figure skater was scheduled to arrive from Ottawa by private plane to receive civic tribute and the Lou E. Marsh Memorial Tro- phy. Barbara Ann's mapped as: A welcome from Mayor Hiram E. McCallum and Charles Ring of Toronto Lions Clubs which will give the Ottawa ice star guest-of- honor-spot at a dinner tonight. A trip by cable ferry from To- ronto Island airport to the main- land, followed by a slow ride in an open car through the heart of the city's financial district. The ride to city hall paced by squads of motorcycle police and led by the 48th Highlanders Brass Band playing--You guessed right --"I'm Sitting On Top of The World." Greetings, again, extended at the city hall steps by Mayor and Mrs. McCallum, and their daughter, Dorothy--and several thousand un- official but noisy greeters. Then a speech by Barbara Ann, saying she's indeed glad to pay a second visit to Toronto. The first was when she received the Lou Marsh Trophy last year for being the outstanding women's athlete of 1946. At the Lion's Club dinner, the same trophy for the same achieve- ment in 1947 will again be pre- sented. Accompanying her during the entire program will be her mother, Mrs. Clyde Scott, and her trainer, Sheldon Galbraith, Benes Weeps (Continued from Page 1) the new government and already started to fulfill this program with- in his sphere of influence," Gott- wald said. Hundreds of thousands of people were gathered under leaden skies for the state and military rites arranged by the Communist gov- ernment. They bought out the flower shops for blossoms to throw at the caisson bearing Masaryk's body from the Foreign Office. They piled wreaths at the bier. "Look at them," said one wom- an, pointing to the Communists. "They do not even have enough decency to stay at home, those hypocrites. They have come to sneer at their victims." Gottwald told the mourners the crisis in Czechoslovakia was en- gineered by the west. "I can prove it myself that from the first days of the government crisis, Jan Masaryk distinctly kept away from those who plotted this crisis," he declared. ; Then he indirectly blamed Ma- saryk's friends in the west for the Foreign Minister's death saying: Cites 'Attacks' "Whoever knew the character of Jan Masaryk knew how sensitive he was toward personal attacks; must understand how difficult it would be for Jan Masaryk to get this concentrated attack on his deepest feelings and his nerves. "To this comes his illness, and taking together these facts, we get the circumstances that drove him to his tragic end." The Communist leader referred to Masaryk by an affectionate nickname, "Monza." "We who are staying have taken a lesson from your bequest that one should always go with the people," Gottwald said. "And we, dear Honza, shall always be with the people and go forward with the people. This is our promise to you." Thirty miles away at Lany, a fresh grave was dug beside the resting place of Masaryk's father, Thomas G. Masaryk, and first President of the Republic, Members of the family and gov- ernment officials gathered at Czer- nin Palace to see the bady trans- ferred from the gun caisson to a hearse for the 30-mile trip to Lany and the family burial plot. Crowds lined the route. A train carrying mourners into the city struck a switch in a yard, and 50 persons were slightly in- Jured. The government's broadcasting network interrupted its continu- ous program of hymns during the day only once, for a brief news broadcast. The radio said more flowers had been received at Ma- saryk's funeral than were received even for his father's rites. i " a He Should Be wn Hallo," said . the neighbor, back from your day's shooting? Have any luck?" "Rather," said Jo * got twelve ducks." Tes pound i His neighbor nodded approving- program was y. "Were they wild?" he asked, "I can't say they were exactly," he replied.

GEORGE MOSS of Toronto Regular Service from 7 to 8 Special Message Service from 8 to 9. Everyone Welcome The Challenge. . Of Jesus By Rev. R. BARCLAY WARREN Jesus Christ never wrote a book, | but innumerable books have been | written of Him, Why is it that He | has challenged the literary genius | of the centuries? A survey of the | incident occurring the only time in! whi¢h we have record of His writ- ing, offers a key to the answer. When the woman taken in adult- ery was brought before Jesus, He said, "He that is without sin among you, let him-' first cast a stone at her." John 8:7. At His presence and His word the men, convicted by their own conscience, went out. Somehow, when we look at Jesus, we behold the sin of our own life. We must efther slink away or face up| to it. To the woman Jesus said, "Neith- er do I condemn thee". Jesus was not making light of her sin. But He saw her heart. Rather than' stoning her to death He extended forgiveness. No one has ever pos- sessed this power to forgive sin save Jesus Christ. » But Jesus Christ does more than forgive. .He gives power to go out and live a new life. To the woman He said, "Go thy way and sin no more". . He gave the woman power to fulfill the command. Jesus convicts of sin, forgives and empowers. No wonder that so many are devoting their lives to telling and writing about Jesus. "There's not a friend like the low- ly Jesus! No, not one! No, not one! None else can heal all our souls' diseases: No, not one! No, not one! Compulsion Gets Farms For Vets Auckland,--(CP)--A warning that | the government intends to make greater use of its power to acquire farm land by compulsion for the settlement of ex-servicemen has been given by Rehabilitation Minis. ter C. PF, Skinner. The minister said that because of the falling-off in the amount of land being offer- ed voluntarily for the settlement of returned men from the Second World War, it would be necessary to take more land under the com- pulsory clauses of the Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act. Departmental reports show that so far 320,257 acres have been pur- chased by the government by volun. tary negotiation for subdivision for the settlement of ex.servicemen. A further 36,767 acres have been ac- quired under compulsory clauses. .1t is estimated that a total of at least 10,000 veterans want rehabil- tation aid to get farms and that 6,500 will be settled by 1949. By March, 1947, the government had settled 3,609. : When land is compulsorily acquir- ed the owner is allowed to retain an economic unit from his holding, including the homestead. The Reason Visitor: "You don't mean to tell me that you, have lived in this | out-of-the-way place for over 30 years?" | Inhabitant: "I'ave." Visitor: "But, really, I cannot | see what you can find to keep you | busy." Inhabitant: "Neither can I -- that's why I like it!" LET'S ALL GO TO CHURCH REGULARLY: The Worth of Christian Character SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1948 (The International Lesson on the above topic for March 21 is Mark 4:26-29; Luke 4:16-22a; 17:20,21; Romans 14:17) By NEWMAN CAMPBELL IN JESUS' time, as until recently in our own, the Jews had no coun- try of their own. They had return- ed to their homeland from exile, it is true, but they were ruled by Ro- man emperors, their dominion hav- ing been established by Pompey the Great in 63 B.C. The country was divided, part under the sons of Herod the Great, Philip and Antipas, both regions be- ing ruled as tetrarchies--under minor governors. Judaea, Samaria and the land south of Judaea were more directly under the Roman pro- curator, Pontius Pilate. The Jews were looking for a Messiah, one who would lead them to victory over their enemies and re-establish the kingdom. This was their great hope in the time of Je- sus. Now, it seems that their dream may be realized. In the struggle now going on they hope to gain a land of their own, there to live as an independent, sovereign' nation. Our lesson_deals not with this earthly country for which the peo- ple of Palestine so longed, but for the kingdom of God, which was Jesus' message to His people. To 'illustrate what He meant by the kingdom of God, Jesus told the following parable while . preaching by the Sea of Galilee: The kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground, and should sleep night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up without his paying much attention to it. Growing in the earth, first the blade would come up, then the ear, and finally the "full corn in the ear." Then the man would reap because the harvest was come. So in men's hearts, first the message is sown by the teacher; where it grows without his knowledge, until it attains full growth, and the man realizes that he has the kingdom of God within him. Some time before this Jesus had made a visit to His native town, | Nazareth. As He always did, Jesus went on the Sabbath into the syna- gogue, and stood up to read. The synagogues which had been set up since the Jews returned from exile in Babylon were rooms one end of which faced toward Jerusalem. The men sat on one side, and the veiled women on the other. The Ark, of painted wood, gener- ally covered with a curtain, and containing the Pentateuch and scrolls of the prophets, was the most sacred object, On one side was the bema or pulpit' for the reader and preacher, and there were chief seats for the synagogue's | ruler and the elders. It was customary to read, the scriptures standing. After someone had read the first lesson, which was from- the Pentateuch, the clerk would hand the roll of parchment containing the book of the prophets which was the second lesson, to someone, and in this case he gave it [to Jesus. We do not know whether | what Jesus read was the lesson for the day or whether He chose it es- ! pecially. What Christ read to these people who had known Him from child hood, was: "The spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me +o heal the bro- ken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." Jesus then closed the book, hand- ed it back to the clerk, and sat down and began to talk. The eyes of all in the synagogue werd, upon Him, and all marvelled at the gra- cious words that came from His lips. "Is not this Joseph's son?" they asked one another. What did Jesus believe was the kingdom of God? When asked by the Pharisees when it would come, He answered, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation, Nei- ther shall they say, Lo here! or, lo, there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Into our hearts it comes, into all men's hearts, before the kingdom is established. When men cease being cruel, selfish, grasping; when they do unto other as they would be done by, then shall the kingdom come. It is not an earthly thing, for, as Paul wrote to the Romans: "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."
