» FINE ADDRESS AT LAYNEN'S BANQUET About 78 Attend--Speaker is Professor R. O, Joliffe (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Mardh 37.--Pro- fessor R. O. Jolliffe, formerly of Bowmanville and well-known to a great number here, was the speak- er of the evening at the Trinity Laymen's Banquet held tonight in the school room. More than 76 laymen were present and sat down to the sumptuous repast which the Ladles* Ald Society of the Church prepared. W. J. Morrison occupled the chair. Francis Sutton led the community singing. W. B., Couch, an esteemed mem- ber of Trinity Church for many years, was called upon to intro- duce the speaker, He made many interesting remarks concerning his association with the speaker's fa- ther, of whom he was a good friend. To begin his talk, Professor Jol- litte was much affected with the way in which he stated the people here revere the memory of his fa. ther, who was a Methodist minis. ter, He then went into the dis- cussion of the term "Beclesia which was, he stated, the source from which is derived words per taining to the church, such as "ec- clesiastical". To him, the word conveyed the meaning, 'a calling out. More emphasis was layed on the last word in the phrase, "out," "We are 'becoming larger and broader in our views", said the speaker, 'and ave getting truer and more statistical in our philosophy of life, Religion is not aloof, not a thing set apart, hut is a part of every-day life as it is" It was pointed out that early believers in the times of the Greek history, took the word 'Ecclesia' to mean the assembly, a part of their government, It thus came, therefore, that the church was an 'Beelesia" of God, an assembly of people who gathered to worship God, The Kingdom of Heaven is a divine society, and like other so- cieties needs organization. Anar- chy, Bolshevism simply cause an internal strife and these two things are an instance in life today, The church has also its outside dangers which it is all the time working to keep away. Organization, on the other hand, the speaker said, was a means, not an end, but the means to an end. The Church is the human side of a Divine institution. It was stated that Christ said little or nothing on organization in his methods or teachings, The chief quality of these teachings was simplicity, clearness and humble- ness. But there is to be attached some importance to organization, although ritual, and rule were firm- ly avoided in Christ's methods, It was stated that Christ scorn. od the ritual of the Pharisees, and with this as an example, the mo- tive is the thing which counts and not the external views. The church should be exalted above ritual. The emphasis is generally misplaced and carries with it a false idea of what should in reality go on within the hearts of the individuals who make Jesus Christ their divine pu- liftment. "Is the church, on the other hand, to be free from citiclsm?" was the question asked, 'It cer- tainly and most emphatically is not, It ought to be criticised. The real base of the discussion brings the fault back to ourselves who handle the affairs of the church. Then the question takes on an- other face. What is the matter with us?" As a follow-up on this statement, the speaker sald, that everyone, and youngsters especially, should be en- couraged to listen to and talk about the things which go on in church on Sunday. The sermons shoud be the subject of much discussion, not from a too critical standpoint but that this kind of material fur. nishes good conversation from a re- liglous standpoint as well as from a point of principle. Dr, J, 0, Devitt moved a hearty vote of thanks to the speaker for the address, which was ably sec- onded by F, FP, Morris, ATTENDS SUNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCE (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 87.--Rev, R.
