houo pubfuho us thomas associate ecsto final site chosen after long and careful deliberation the nnal oe- cision has been made on a site for the new swimming pool being so generously donated to stouffville this year by mr arthur latcham the acquisition of a swimming pool for town can be marked down as a milestone in the recreational nistorv of the municipal ity the site chosen for the pool as previously an nounced will be on the site of the present horticul tural gardens it has been gratifying to the horti cultural society and particularly those who spent so much time and effort in beautifying this rather shabby portion of the park that their work is not to be dis regarded as the plants and shrubs are to be moved and another site chosen to establish a new garden the local park ground is situated for the most part in low land and since it is necessary to go into the ground some distance for the pool and buildings the present garden site had to be taken as it apparently afforded the best remaining land over 1000 was expended on establishing the garden site andin our opinion the town itself could well afford to bear any expense involved in moving the bulbs shrubs and other plants to a new garden site and should certainly do so in view of the fact the municipality is to receive this wonderful gift of a swimming pool modern religion a prominent united church evangelist made some significant statements recently when he spoke to the annual meeting of the churchs board of evangelism and social service dr w g berry director of evangelism for the united church stated definitely that the threat of hellfire wont win converts to christianity because even churchgoers no longer believe in heaven and hell no doubt dr berry was speaking primarily about his own church but his statements are probably ap plicable to all established religions he said ministers today should preach the gospel in the context of todays world man he said is not troubled about the future life to any extent he is worried about this life he is not disturbed by thoughts of future punishment as his fathers were there are a few a minority who still go to church and are troubled about the afterlife but the nonchurchgoer and the thousands who sit in pews sunday after sunday are not troubled by thoughts of hell nor inspired by dreams of heaven said the good doctor we cant say we agree wholeheartedly with dr berry but we feel he has contributed greatly in bring ing god to man instead of trying to get man to god how many times do you sit in the sanctuary of your pew and think about heaven and hell not very often probably in the quietness of your church you are more apt to be meditating on ways to meet pay- ments to pay doctor bills you are more likely to be ruminating on the best way you can help out in this present life to make it more abundant for someone else which in turn will make you closer to god modern man is gravely troubled by the world in which he lives he fears it may be destroyed and all that he loves with it we must appeal to modern man on the basis that this world is a world loved by god to accept salvation is to become one of those who are saved in order to save the world says dr berry eradicate the deadwood a stout blast emanated last week from the paris star being the words of dr f h jeffrey when he spoke at a recent federation of agriculture meeting he said the number of timekilling students in the average high school would fill two classrooms he asked why should we pay 1000 to 5000 salaries to teachers to take care of students who are only interested in tormenting their teachers why indeed any secondary school teacher will tell you there is a sprinkling of impudent louts insol ent ruffians lazy bums and plain yahoos with the manners of a baboon and the innate intelligence of a wet kneeriex in every class these frogbrains not only waste the valuable time of the teacher but that of their fellow pupils they are not even as useless as drones but are de finitely harmful why suffer them when the schools are straining at the seams to accommodate pupils who will be of some value to society why not turn them out of the classrooms as we would kick out of our house a dog who bit children and messed the floor book talk by betty bangay the scapegoat by daphne dumaurier writer of worldrenowned novels

is likely to be a goodnatured cheerful man we refuse to believe that a sour man is a wellorganized man in the mind and spirit a wellknown writer tells of an old friend of his whose good nature was irresistible and contageous selfpity was foreign to him and ho could see a bright side when others didnt know it was there he was like the man who lost most of his teeth in an accident and when his friends thought this would end his cheerfulness they were surprised to find he said he had cause for thankfulness just think he said i have only two teeth left and they are opposite each other it is a tact that cheerfulness is a habit and what is important for us it that it can be cultivated early in life a wholesome attitude takes possession of some people and it is a good thing for them and for all who live with them robert l stevenson said that when a cheerful man came into a room it was like lighting another candle if they joined others instantly the conversation took a turn for the better to think well of others was as natural to them as breathing the poet burns said such a man was contented with little and happy with more julia ward howe who wrote the battle hymn of the republic said she had lived ninety happy years and there was still a lot of sugar at the bottom of the cup that was a wise saying of washington irving i like company where the jokes are small and the laughter large the idea sometimes prevails that only superficial people are cheerful that the real thinkers are unhappy i do not know where the idea originated but i am sure it is false there is a levity which is shallow but habitual pessimism is not a healthy frame of mind even when it is sincere christs admonition to his disciples be of good cheer is the outcome of faith in god a firm belief that life is good there is a protest in the bible against harbouring evil thoughts and if evil thoughts can be rejected so can selfpity worry anxiety and all negative attitudes there are instruments used by the government to detect defective coins they are rejected immediately i do not think it can be done by a single act of the will but by persistent effort habits grow and become part of ourselves just as a typist becomes so used to striking the right keys so that it becomes secondnature so positive thinking can be developed to an extent that it also is second nature it has been said that we have no record in the new testament of jesus hesitating we do not read of him asking for time to think things over because he was perfect he did the will of god spontaneously as the apostle peter wrote jesus has left us an example and we have a right to believe that a thoroughly wholesome cheerful attitude to life may be ours by the help of the grace of god years ago i knew a lady who lived to be over a tiundred years of age i never knew her to indulge in negative thinking there was no place in her mind for meanness she saw the best in everybody she moved from toronto to vancouver so i did not meet her during the closing years of her life but those who were with her until the end told me that her attitude did not alter except to grow stronger like the poet coleridge of her it could be said she saw naught but beauty and heard the voice of the almighty one in every breeze that blew or wave that murmured because of her wholfsome attitude to life this lady was supremely happy as she was also deeply religious for it is ever true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder our quotation today is by o s marden habits by changing our thoughts we change our in our mail box toronto march 5 editor
