Whitby W. ©. Reinke, Representative, Phones 22) and 342 (By Staff R ) Whitby, Sept. 12--Negotiations be- tween a special committee of the County Council and a similar body of the Oshawa Board of Education res garding fees to be paid for county pu- al attending the Oshawa Collegiate mstitute have broken down, and it is expected that the matter will result © Gf the County being definitely asked te pay 100 per cent of the pro rata 'maintenance costs and 80 per cent. of debenture charges or make other ar- rangements. The County sought to compromise the matter on a straight 80 per cent. basis on a five year con- tract. This was refusea. The position taken by the County is that urban centers such as Oshawa 'provide. educational facilities in the way of buildings and equipment which the County, if acting on its own be- half, would not support by money grants. They feel, therefore, that they should not be charged for educational luxuries that, however necessary they may be gonsidered hy city hoards of education, seem extravagant to rural taxpayers, Oshawa trustees, however, have inted out that the argument regard- ing facilities ' provided hy them is a niatter of opinion merely and that the County must present something more tangible before the Oshawa Board can abandon its position that County pu- pils fees, paid by the County Council, should cover the whole cost of their education, Pointing out, at the same time, that the city 1s prepared to concede 20 per gent. of the pro rata share of deben- ture costs, thereby charging the Coun- ty only 80 per cent. of thejr pupils' per capita 0 My Oshawa trustees also point out that with lower tax rates in the county, the tendency of the very families who do send their ¢hildren through high school' is to establish suburban resi- dence.' They feel that the situation can he equitably met only by charg= ing pupils from the County their full St. Catharines, , Sept. 11.-- Two stickup men, Jiu to have come, from Niagara Falls, N.Y., but knowing the local layout perfectly, secured well aver $1,000 at an early hour here Saturday morning from the patrons of the International 'Club on James street. One wore a black mask and the other a hand- kerchief over the lower part of the |, face. One shot, which glanced off a billiard table and went through the shirt sleeve of one of those present. was 'sufficient to ensure an instant response to orders to line up. Cov- ered by one of the intruders with two revolvers, several men were. re- lieved of various sums. Howard Flack, one of the club « attendants, lost over $300, The bandits made a quick getaway in a motor car before the police werd notified. It is believed that they had been present in the rooms on previous occasions, PARALYSIS OLAIMS SIXTEENTH VIOTIM Winnipeg, Sept. 11.--Infantile paralysis, which has raged in Ed- monton, Alta.,, and several small towns in Western British Columba, claimed another vietim during the night, bringing the death toll to 16 since the disease first manifested itself three weeks ago. The latest victim was §-year-old Audrey Ogerman of Edmonton, who contracted" the disease three days ago. Eleven children ranging in age from a few months to 20 years have succumbed to the dread seourge in Edmonton to date, while mare than 'fifty cases are at pres- ent in quarantine: !

He aveht hava EB ind your fp . = have = heen id put more Outside the pages of the New Testa- ment, this is ptebably the earliest Christian hymn. It was written by Clement of Alexandria, who was ohe of the great figures of the Chureh at the close of the Second Century. For this reason alone it is of very great interest. It reveals the spirit of the Church in those far-off times. In a letter written by the Roman lawyer, Pliny, to the Emperor Tragan, he mentions the fact that the Christians used to sing: "hymns to Christ as to a god." No doubt during these times of bitter persecution, the Christians sang many hymns of which there is now no trace whatever. This one alone survives, Of Clement himself, not a great deal is know. He appears to have been of good birth and social position. Pre- vious to his conversion to Christianity, he was a heathen philosopher. Bager for light, restless in his search for i truth, he came into touch with Chris- tianity in the city of Alexandria, and there his wanderings ceased. He be- came an enthusiastic believer, and when the head of the Catechtical School in that city left it to become a missionary, Clement was appointed to the position. There he remained until he was driven away by persecu- tion in 202 A.D. Among his pupils at that time was the illustrous Origen. After that very little is known of his movements, He is referred to later as having been in Jerusalem and in Antioeh, It is thought he died about the year 220 A.D. Clement was evidently a man of much culture, He wrote a number of books, one of which was called The Tutor, It is a very carefully written treatise on manners and morals, It explains, with much eloquence and force, what was believed about Jesus Christ, and at the end of the hook is | this hymn, written of course in | Greek, The hymn, then, is a little more. than seventeen centuries old, | and if for no other reason .than that, it reflects Century, mus rit of the Second ays be regarded as Aof very great value. It was not until 1846, that a Con- gregational minister of New Hamp- shire, Rev. Henry Martyn Dexter, un- dertook to translate the. hyma. It was not an easy task as some of the figures employed by Clement did not easily lend themselves to translation. First Dr. Dexter turned the poem in- to prose, and then turned his prose translation, or as much of it as was possible, into poetry. The result is that although most of the figures of speech used by Clement are retained, as well as its fervent spirit, the trans- lation is not strietly accurate. In the hymn Christ is set forth under many figures: Shepherd, King, High Priest, and Guide. "There is a charm in this enthusiastic and cumulative adoration and the hymn is now widely used and has a place of honor in most hymnals of .the Chureh. (Copyright) A certain famous actor sometimes shows interest in the lesser lights about him. One day he was convers- ing with one of his stage hands. "And what, my man, is your vocation?" que- ried the condescending matinee idol. "I'm a Baptist," was the reply. "No, no good fellow, that is your be- lief. I want to know your vocation. For example, I am an actor." Said the scene shifter: "Naw, that's your belief." "Well, not exactly. . I have to pieces to see how it worked?"
