J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, March 27, 1953 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS WHITBY Pastor Deplores The Sin of Silence When Moral Courage Need The story of the crucifixion of Christ is a story of the harm that good men can do, Rev. Dr. Kenneth Glazier, of Glenview Presbyterian Church, Toronto, said in a Passion Week sermon at St. John's Angli- can Church, Port Whitby, last eve- ning. It was the third of five spe- cial services to mark the sacred season and the approach of East- er under the auspices of the Whitby Ministerial Association, Taking as his text Matthew 23, verse 7, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee . . ." Dr. Glazier said that one of the greatest tragedies of all ages was the harm that good men and women cand do people with good intentions, with a desire to live good lives and to harm no one, people with a good religious back- ground, from whom much good might be expected, but who fail when the testing time comes be- cause of lack of faith and moral courage. Dr. Glazier referred to Judas, who betrayed Christ and later repented and killed himself. He said that Judas, a disciple of Christ, no doubt had good inten- tions when he cast in his lot with the Master, at least there was no evidence to .the contrary. There was no doubt, also, that he was impressed with the teachings and mighty works of the Master, but the allowed temptation to overcome him to the extent that he went of his own accord to the chief priests and scribes and offered to betray Him. Remorse of conscience later prompted him to go to those who fad given him the 30 pieces of sil- wer and admit that he had made a fatal mistake -- but it was too late, he went out into the night and took his life. Dr. Glazier spoke of Calaphas, the high priest, the chief religious leader of the people, a good man, no doubt, having the respect and esteem of the people, but who fail- ed to do anything for the Master when he was brought before him DAY BY DAY Accounts of social events and news items of local interest and names of visitors are apprecia- PHONE 703 PASSION WEEK SERVICE The final of five Passion week services in local churches is to be held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church this evening at eight o'clock. The preacher will be the Rev. Dr. W. M. Mustard, BA, of North Broadview United Church, Toronto, and sent him on his way to be crucified. Of Pilate, the governor under the authority of Rome, Dr. Glazier said that he did not once condemn Christ, but who tried by every con- ceivable means to rid himself of the problem of having to make a decision against Him, a good man, in the eyes of the priests and of the people, against whom, it could be assumed, few complaints had gone to Rome and who apparently was in the favor of the Roman emperor, Yet, when he was told by the crowd that if he let Jesus go he was not Caesar's friend, he capitulated, because he was afraid of his job, and sent Christ on His way to Calvary. Of the people of Jerusalem who demanded Christ's crucifixion, Dr. Glazier suggested that for the most part they too were good people. They lived. in the Holy City, the seat of the Holy temple, and had all the religious advantages of that day. Theirs was an ideal environ- ment and seemed to be the best to mould the lives of the people. ; In the crowd that day a theif was substituted, by demands and choice, for Jesus, to be delivered on the peace day to the people. There were those who heard Christ teach, saw his miracles and who believed in Him, but when the crucial test came they committed the great sin of silence -- they did nothing for Christ. Everyone there that day was responsible for what happened to Christ because of their silence. Dr. Glazier sugcested that this was very prevalent today and good people as a result, did so much harm. Good. intentioned people oftimes lacked moral cour- age when the testing time came to do something for Christ and to wel- come Him into their lives, so great was the harm they could do. Many were guilty of the sin of sil- ence. The service was taken by the rector, Rev. James Harvey, assist- ed by Rev. Gordon Channen, of All Saints' Church, Whitby and Mr. and Mrs. W. 8, Metherel of Raglan attended the wedding of their nephew, Allan Metherel to Helen Mitchell at Beaverton, on Saturday, March 21. Président Robert G. Langford, of the Chamber of Commerce, who was confined to his home with ill- ness for two weeks, has now re- covered and is able to resume his work. Bert Johnston Accident Victim At Port Arthur On his way to Vancouver to visit his seriously ill sister whom he has not seen for some years, Bert Johnston veteran local citi- zen, met with an accident at Port Arthur, and is now 'in the Mac- Kellar hospital in Fort willlam. He will be 85 years of age on May 1, and left here Saturday for the coast city. Information obtained by Cana- dian Pacific railway officials is that while the train was stopped at Port Arthur he either slipped or fell and sustained minor injuries as well as a very severe shock, and was taken to the hospital. En- quiries made by friends yesterday in Whitby by long distance call to the hospital revealed that he fis sitting up in his chair but the ex- tent of his injuries were not known, nor could it be learned when he would be back in Whitby. It was considered unlikely that doctors Address and Film At Home, School Meet The March meeting of the Dun- das Street Home and School As- sbciation took place on Wednesday, - with President, Mrs. Wm. Hewis, in the chair. Mrs. P. N. Spratt sang three charming solos, accompanied by Mr. Robin Nicholson. Mrs. Spratt selected her songs to fit in with the rest of the program. Two of the songs were sung especially for the senior room, which was pres- ent at the meeting, and "Trees" was dedicated to the Department of Lands and Forests, who had brought a film on forest conserva- tion and fire preventionists show to the meeting. Mr. 8. C. Hudson, Public Rela- | tions Officer of the Department of Lands and Forest, first spoke brief- ly on the importance of the pres- ent generations understanding the great need for proper timber man- agement and fish and timber re- placement, The film shown with commentary by John Fisher was most interest- | ing. It showed how forest fires are fought in Temagimi and also it gave a glimpse of the world life of that part of the country. Mr. Ben Smith then cleared up some of the fine points of the film for the listeners and gave an inter- esting resume of the duties of the different marches of the depart- ment and of how the province is divided to handle these duties. Above all, he stressed the wanton 'waste causeq by fires, most of would allow him to continue to the coast. Before he left here he appeared to be in fairly good health and he had looked forward for some time to the trip. Taxi Installs Radio System Whitby's first radio-controlled taxi system is now in operation by the Bell Taxi, it was announced yesterday by the energetic propriet- or, Steve Peleshok.
