nervation authority held a tour of its watersheds under the leadership of chairman c r purceli ali of the projects sug gested to the authority mem bers were designed to correct mistakes of years ago or to per petuate the glories of the past the authority is responsible for four streams flowing through 30s square miles of countryside oast of toronto the rouge river highland dutfins and petticoat creeks of the four the rouge is the largest duffins creek the most annoying major project offered for the authoritys consideration was a s150co0 scheme to curb dumns creek there are some 60 homes in the flood plain of the river on the west side of pick ering village of these 30 are endangered to greater or lesser desree by spring floods the floods which spill over no 2 highway west of the vil lage are usually caused bv ice jams for stoixm said w a scdtt of kilborn engineering the authority can straighten the channel of the river suffi ciently to rid it of ice for slooobo a more complete job of channel improvement can be carried out obviously if pickering town ship council had had super human foresight years ago there would have been zoning restrictions against the estab lishment of permanent residen ce in the path of duffins creek floods successive councils were merely human and now the problem is in the lap of the authority value of the homes endanger ed by the creek exceeds the cost of channel improvement the province would contribute 3ti percent of channel improve ment costs but the difficult question is should the author ity spend public funds to pro tect those who accepted the risk of establishing themselves with in reach of the floods for 12000 the old milne dam on the rouge in the south east corner of markham village can be replaced there is no flood problem on the rouge in fact conservation branch offi cers are somewhat diffident about recommending flood con- preservation of the bruce bros mill west of stouffvihe may become project of rdh p rouge duffins highland petticoat conservation au thority dam was washed out several years ago- mill left is last one in toronto area with 3n overshot wheel for s1s0o0 the old milne dam right at markham village can be replaced to make a bathing and boating pond trol works on any of the streams but the milne dam site could be converted into a pleasant recreation area the concrete wings of the spillway are still standing reconstruction of the dam would be chiefly a matter of moving enough earth to join the spillway to the banks from unionville through markham to stouffvilie the countryside was settled by the german farmers who came to canada with william von moll berczy advisors on history would have authority to buy some of the old homes and have them preserved in per petuity as museums last week private use of the upper branch of rouge has been im- no price tags could be put on such activities the authority is only two years old throughout last weeks tour of the watershed there was an occasional mention of soil con servation and reclamation but such lip service as was paid the basic practices that are needed lo preserve the rich soil of the valleys for the future was only incidental correction of past errors and preservation of a century and a half of history were given more attention the families who worked the lands along the valley- were conservationists though they would not have recognized the word among themselves they were good fanners their land was productive and they cherished it yet the historians who made the tour with the authority bad nothing to say of their farming methods mr pureell is an energetic and forceful man as chairman of the newest authority in the metropolitan toronto area he has a fine opportunity he can persuade the historians to delve a little deeper into the past and discover how the berczy sett lers and their descendants pro iected and preserved their land aginative and successful pro- stouffvilie road dammed the perty owner on the gormley- stream and established an and he can lead the authority the soil that is now silting the in applying these methods and others of more modern days to i artificial lake home in frc who told you

forth there fore fruits worthy ot repent ance true repentance will be evident in humility and good works rather than in boasting of our religious ancestry verse 15 all men mused of john whether he were the christ or not the pro found impression of johns ministry on the populace arous ed the messianic hope and ex pectancy and doubtless bis rugged and fearless character suggested a national leader equal to the task of national emancipation and recovery verse 16 john answered 1 indeed baptize you with water he shall baptize you with the holy ghost and with fire john reduced the identity of messiah to the type of baptism ministered since his baptism was only that of water sym bolic of repentance he could not be the christ the mightier one would bring the mightier baptism not a symbolic but an cfleetive baptism in the holy spirit and fire as the creek has it verse 17 he will gather the wheat into his garner but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable here is a look to the end christ is the great separator the judge compare christs own parables of the wheat and the tares and the dragnet matt 132130 3610 1750 verse 18 and many other hings preached he unto the people we have only samv pies of johns preaching verse 1 hut llfiod reproved for hcruias his brother philips wife john was no respecter of persons sin in the king was still sin and he reproved it a- faithfully as he did the sin of the hum blest verse 20 he shut up john in prison for the rest of the story see mat 11112 verse 31- jesus also lie- ing baptized and praying the heaven was opened jesus came as one of the people not for sin of his own but because he had come to hear the sins of others only luke mentions jesu praying at the time of baptism verse 22 and the holy chot descended upon him and a voice said thou are my be loved son in thee i am well pleased this was the anoint ing for ministry and the sign m john that this was the one of whom he preached the mean of ihe lcsson john had a mission and he knew it and knew what it wa lie knew in importance and ily which characterized christ his mission had been foretold in the prophets he recognized himself there and so knew his place in the economy of god and the whole scheme of salva tion such knowledge of ones call ing gives one great confidence ad authority these certainly marked johns ministry there was no uncertainty no hesi tancy but a bold and definitive message he was a messenger of righteousness calling men to repentance he would not allow his baptism to degenerate into another religious rite that would aggravate the already too manifest selfrighteousness of the pharisees but demanded evidence of repentance in right eous living huke gives us some of the ethical content of johns preaching applicable to vari ous segment of the populace me had his christology too his preaching centered upon christ all his ethics were but a preparation for christ his baptism in water pointed to a greater baptism not symbolic but effective which would be the mark of the finality of the ministry of christ the bap tism in the holy spirit and fire while his was the authority of a herald christs was that of the final judge mens relation to him would determine final and everlasting destiny such fearless and faithful ministry could not but cut across the deepseated wicked ness of men especially when this wickedness sat in high places john would not wink at sin in the royal palace so ho clashed with herod who was living in adulterous relation ship with his brothers wife herodias that meant prison and finally death i5ut before he was imprisoned john had the rare privilege of baptizing the i6rd jesus him self for whom it was no act of repentance but an act of public committal to the ministry which would be culminated in the deoer baptism ot death a jesus then committed himself to that ministry heaven itself icspondcd with a threefold wit ness the veil between parted and for jesus in that hour heaven and earth became one the holy spirit who certainly filled jesus from birth if he so tilled john huke 115 came upon him in invisible form a a dove and the fathers good pleasure was audibly expressed ilete wa an
