the tribune stouffville out thursday april 6 1950 seventycent hi joseph lister rutledge a few weeks ago many protest ant churches held their annual meetings the figure there made public must have led more than one curious person to do some rapid figuring the results were starting the annual contribution of members for all church pur poses ran from an average of s20 in some instances to upwards of 60 in others but the average was a high of 36 that was for a group of 55 churches of all denominations and all sizes in one average local ity granted that this argument is not broadly based enough to be conclusive granted that many church members gave unstintingly even to and beyond the 10 tithe of holy writ granted that indivi dual churches sometimes stood up nobly in relation to their abilities but the average still stands 70 cents a week for the work of the lord we serve and the assurance of some measure of the kingdom of god on earth one of napoleons maxims was to the effect that an army marches on its stomach recently a lay representative of a great church set himself to applying some such practical maxim to this problem he began by arguing that our very word giving was out of character you dont speak of giving he urged when you pay the landlord for the roof over your head or the doctor for keeping you alive you recognize these as obligations due for benefits receiv ed but when it comes to the church we speak of the payment of our obligations as giving we send our children to sunday school because we believe it important for their future well- being as citizens and christians to that end we provide them with five or ten cents to carry on the work but saturday we cheerfully provide 25 or 35 cents that they may keep company with the lone ranger the young man who spends s5 or 10 on an evening for the girl of his heart would feel a little ostentatious if he put a dollar ion a collection plate while the young lady confident of the worth of a 5 hairdo would be some what less sure of the 25cent con tribution on sunday rut why berate the young their elders who will ultimately provide the elaborate wedding will probably feel that 10 to the clergy man handsomely settles the spirit ual side of the occasion so with our passing the provision in the will for funeral expenses covers the cemetery and the undertaker worthy but profitmaking under takings but it bypasses the church yet it is to her ministers that the dying and the mourners look for comfort and assurance and it is to them that we all turn for a sense of stability in a troubled world perhaps we need to revise values perhaps we must come to recognize that free as salvation may be its human ministers its human agencies still live in a world where the maxims of napo leon hold good that the hands that help are scarcely less blessed than the lips that pray passenger trains in canada could make faster time than they do but schedules are padded to allow for unforeseen delays

kenworthy ave toronto 1 presentation made to ronald marquis by fellowfarmers a gathering of over two hundred representative plowmen of ontario county with their wives assem bled a a banquet held in sunder land last week to do honor to a young ontario county farmer who won the highest honors as a horse plowman in ontario at the interna tional plowing match at burford last fall and who recently returned from the six weeks tour of britain and part of europe won as a re ward for his skill in plowing a straight furrow the guest of hon or of the banquet was ronald mar quis son of mr and mrs lloyd marquis of sunderland who was eulogized by many speakers for the honor he had brought himself and his native county by his achieve ment in the course of the even ing he was presented with a hand some floor trilite lamp as a gift from the plowmens associations of xorth and south ontario and of brock township while his mother basking in the reflected glory of her sons fame received a beauti ful bouquet of red roses alex mckinney brampton alex mckinney bramptonguest speaker in his address reviewed the overseas trip made by the young plowmen and himself and gave some vivid impressions of life and people in the countries visited he said the two young plowmen who had made the trip were splen did representatives of canada and had been splendid ambassadors of goodwill to the plowmen of bri tain one of the chief impressions of britain said mr mckinney was surprise at finding farming there more mechanized in respect to the field work to be done than canada although in handling livestock their buildings and methods were far behind those on canadian farms the land however was very intensively tilled and kept in a splendid condition of fertility and productivity so that while it had been farmed for hundreds of years it produced greater yields per acre than are common in canada food heavily siibsizctl food in britain was ample but monotonous said mr mckinney and while the costs of food were lower- than in canada they did not represent the actual cost because the government last year had paid out 170000000 in subsidies to keep down the cost of living taxation was very heavy and very few peo ple were able to maintain their large estates government con trols were very onerous and pri vate building was almost impossi ble before a barn could be repair ed he said it was necessary
