PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Rusiness Office: Miss G. Macpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, All Departments Religion Seen As Essential Part Of Education "Parents of today are robbing children of their profound- est need when they do not teach them the dogmatic truths of religion," Dr. Willard Brewing of Toronto said last night in a sermon oy) the occasion of the induction of Dr. S. L. Osborne into the principalship of the Ontario Ladies' College. 1 a searching analysis of the part religion should play in eduga- tion today Dr. Brewing said that the truly enlightened ma is the man who knows God and whose soul is illuminated with God's spirit. Like Shining Light Y Few would agree with this defini- tion of edueation, he said, but clear- ly religion is not merely something for the chapel--it should permeate every area of living. He preached from the text "If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light." Giving point to the remark that "a little learning is a dangerous thing," Dr. Brewing noted that to- day many people learn to read be- fore learning, what type of material to read. The world has outgrown the evangelistic stage of religious culture and now finds itself in a somewhat confused position. Today children are given university edu- cation as freely as their fathers were given a primary education. This brings its complications. To- day the quality of education has been diluted whether we like it or not. The church must redeem that dilution and bring it back to ils better consistency. "The trend of higher education is to speculation," Dr. Brewing said. "The tendency is for schools to teach all the branches of educa- tion but few of its roots. Schools are created to make specifically doc- tors or engineers whereas Christian ity's educational aspect is toward the making of men." The fact that Christ has been left out of some cultural biographies is significant that the young people of today are being robbed of know- ledge of His power and of Chris- tian ideals, Christian moral and social aspirations. Scores Practice Dr, Brewing scored the practice of legislative bodies bringing in a minister to open perfunctorily with a five minute prayer and then sup- posing that they have made 'heir legislature safe for democracy. "That is not- nearly enough," he said. "Unless you can get Christian- ity into all activities of life you will never capture the minds of men and women." Divinity must be studied from all angles. It is like the light which is of little use hidden under the bushel. Christianity makes life sig- nificant and we must see that the Church through education brings back that significance which has been lost, said Dr, Brewing. "Huw narrow is the life that only studies the things of this world." "For fear of indoctrinating chil- dren with some incorrect view of God, parents are giving them no view at all. It is as dogmatic to shut them off in unfaith as to foist an unthinking dogmatism upon them", the speaker said. "What foliy to demand of religion a scientific postulate when there are the grea: authoritative truths of religion to be taught!" The Induction The actual induction of Dr. Os- borne was performed by Dr. Harold Young, secretary of the Board of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the United Church and was as fol- lows: 'The Presiding Minister: Beloved in the Lord, In the name of God, and in the presence of this Congregation, we purpose now to institute and induct to the Princi- palship of the Ontario Ladies' Col- Clean Pipes Or Risk Fire Chief Says Though it may not seem like it today, the fact is that very soon there will be chilly morn~ ings when citizens will have to light up the first real hot fires of the season. Every fall a certain number of serious fires have been caused simply be- cause pipes and chimneys have not been cleaned out. Accumu- lations of soot are very hazar- dous. Fire Chief William Heard has asked The Times-Gazette to call this important matter to public attention. Simply check those pipes now to see they are clear, sound, and in good shape. lege, 'our brother in Christ, Stanley Llewellyn Osborne, here present. My brother, seeing that the grace cf God and the choice of the Church have called you to the high office of Principal of this College, and 'that this congregation of Christ may understand your mind and will in this thing, we ask of you, in sincere charity, whether you be will- ing to take upon you so sacred and grave a charge. Answer: T am willing, the Lord being my helper, Will you then, give your faithful diligence always to administer Lhe affairs and direct the life of this College to the profit of its students and to the upbuilding of the Church of Christ? Answer: I will do so, by the help of the Lord. Wil} you, in the "strength of the Lord Jesus Christ, wal: worthy of our calling and discharge faithful. y the duties of your office? Angwer: I will endeavour to do 50, God helping me. Do you promise to seek the unity and peace of the Church, and 10 yield yourself to the authority of them to whom the Church has com- mitted the direction of your work? Answer: I do so promise, God helping me. Almighty God, who hath given you the will to do all these things: Grant also unto you strength and power to perform the same; that He may accomplish His work which He hath begun in you, through Jesus Christ our Lord . , . Amen. Jn the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King, and Head of' the Church, and by the authority of the General Council through the Board of Colleges and Secondary Schools, I institute and induct you as Prin- cipal and Governor of the Ontario Ladies' College. : Choir Assists The choir of the church was. pres- ent under the direction of Mrs. Vernon Rowe.

Juniors In Dark Yet On 0.B.A. Ruling Officials of Whitby's Junior "B" baseball club nearly were out the rule book yesterday thumbing it over in an attempt to decide whe- ther or not they were Eastern On- tario Champions: - Gananoque had intimated they are going to pro- test the game last Saturday when Whitby won 3-2 on the grounds that Don McGregor of Oshawa was in- eligible because he lives in a town over 7,500 population. McGregor had special permission to play in the lakeshore .league. Searching for support, Whitby sup- porters found that the rule book stated that copy of a protest must be received within 24 hours. They also found that if the protesting team had prior knowledge of the basis of its protest, yet said no. thing, it was just as guilty as the offenders. The Whitby officials smiled and prepared to shove on to Simcoe for wider honors. Then they phoned W. J. Snyder, O.B.A. secretary in Hamilton. Just what Mr. Snyder said is not all revealed but the smiles were wiped away. Late yesterday afternoon it still all remained to be seen. Whit- by supporters were indignant that the losers had taken advantage of a technical point of which Whit- by had been totally unaware, to deprive them ¢! a hard-fought game. Frankly, they said, it was awfully. poor sportsmanship. They also pointed out that while Mec- Gregor is a good average player he did nothing in the last' two games to make or break the Whitby team. About all Whitby could do . was wait for an O.B.A. decision; fight for their own rights, and pray.

Hydro Truck Burns On 2A Yesterday A truck belonging to the Hy- dro Electric Power Commission of Ontario caught fire at 10.45 yesterday morning while pass- ing through Whitby on High- way 2A. Probably a short cir- .cuit caused the tool box to catch fire before driver Jack Prosser was aware anything wrong. Two passing truckers lent their fire extinguishers but these were insufficient to douse the blaze entirely. Whitby fire department was. called and could not respond because it was believed the fire was out of the municipality. When Prosser was told this he at- tempted to drive his smoulder- ing vehicle up to the fire hall but close to the Brock Street bridge it burst into flame. Again the fire department was called and this time they put out the fire located on the provincial highway. By this time the gasoline had begun to burn and the damage was very extensive.
