A, L, Rich- erds in an inspiring sermon at the morning service in the United church, yesterday. Rev, Mr. Rich- ards based his text on Pgalm 18-34, where David states: 'His gentle- ness has made me great," The psalmist he declared attributed his rise to the kingship of Israel not through the power of God, but by His gentleness, The speaker advanced the theory that the world must have been a _ lonely place before the creation of man and that hecause God desired children He regarded men with pity and with love, This gentleness was best illustrated in Jesus who felt that disgraced people had need of him. He became known as the friend of sinners and finally gave His life upon the cross that men might be saved. The pastor affirm- ed that God was still waiting for response from men and that sure- ly this great love knew no limit, Science of Ruin "The Science of Ruin," conclud- ing a series of illuminating talks on Christian psychology formed the subject for the pastor's evening sermon; "Men do not go wrong by acci- dent or. mischance or by a piece of bad luck," the speaker declared. "The workings of the mind bring about the undoing of a good man or the reclamation of a bad man." Rev. Mr. Richards compared the mind at birth to a mental prairie EE. hitby D and news will be received at the Whitby Office, Dundas aily Time: . ind Street, next the Post Office. : { Telephone 434. REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES HOLDEN. devoid of ideas, It was ready for possibilities for good or evil, Ideas were formed and developed into habits which soon largely controll- ed a man's life, No First Offenders The speaker affirmed that seience had shown that men were only slaves to the beasts which they had one time chosen to feed, beasts of passion, envy and selfishness, There was no such thing as a first offence in the case of the prisoner at the dock, the offense was the re- sult of wrong thinking. LJ Rev, Mr, Richards cited the case of King Herod and the beheading of John the Baptist, He had no intention of committing this deed but he had suddenly yielded to a bad impulse which had culminated as a result of harboring envious thoughts. Continuing, he declared that no one need worry about what the morrow might bring if all is kept sweet and Christian within, The world was God's world and 'ruled by love and grace, The much- pledged man was a strong man and similarly he who wished to with. stand temptation could find strength in resolving to do good. Above all there was the liberating power of Christ who came to the world to set men free from the bondage of sin, INTERMEDIATES PLAY BOWMANVILLE TONIGHT (By Staff Reposter) Whitby, Feb, 25, -- Whitby Intermediates will journey to Bowmanville tonight where they will play the return gume with the rubber town boys to decide which team wll continue in the O.H.A, race, Both teams are de- termined to win so a merry battle should result.

Last fall several fine flelds of wheat were to be seen in the town ship the green of the fields being in contrast to the dead vegetation, It is now expected that in many cases the wheat will not flourish as well as it gave promise early in December, tained, however, until gpring, STRERTS STILL, HELD BY ICY COVERING Whitby, Feb, 25. -- The town's main thoroughfares are still snow- covered in spite of the fact that the highways ar clear to the east and west and to the north, This is due to the fact that the govern. ment snow plough ceases activities while passing through the commun. ity and the snow is therefor not scraped away, The hignways are algo more exposed to the wind and places where the road is graded higher than surrounding land are practically swept clean of snow without the ald of the plough, BAND CONCERT SUNDAY Whitby, Feb. 25.--The Whitby Citizens' Band ie presenting the second of a series of concerts in the town hall next Sunday night at 8.15 o'clock.

"The American continents are younger with regard to human occu- gation than the eastern hemisphere," Mr. Weyer told his audience, "The very first immigrants to them, the forerunners of the American Indians, doubtless came from Asia. Thus Alaska, which lies much closer to Asia than any other part of America, was probably the gateway through which passed these early Asiatic im- migrants, The northwestern corner of North America therefore, can be regarded as the first scene of human history in America, "No aborigines of Arctic America, so far as is known, ever used a writs ten language. Consequently the mute relics of material culture are the only source of historical information here, Nevertheless, the buried pre- historic villages of Alaska yield sec- rets to the archaeologist," On the almost inaccessible summit of a precipitous island in the Aleu- tian chain, the expedition discovered a grave containing mumies of un- hauwn age. By reason of their cares ful preparation for burial, the bodies remained in a remarkable state of preservation. This grave afforded the first comprehensive information concerning this type of burial in the Aleutian Islands before the introduc- tion of higher civilization, Later, for six weeks, Mr, Weyer pursued his investigation in the re- gion of Bering Strait, the neck of water fifty miles wide separating Asia and Alaska. Part of this time he passed on the Diomede Islands, where dwell the most primitive Es- kimoes in this section of the Arctic. In connection with his motion pic- tures, which are the only ones ever taken on these islands, he related many interesting customs which these Eskimos practice, BECAME A WRITER WHILE IN PRISON | "ohn Murphy Received $7,- 000 for Stories Written in Penitentiary in 1928 Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 25, -- A man whose identity has been hidden for five years behind a convict's number, : will walk through the gates of Ohio Penitentiary March 1, free to wage a fight to regain his place in society and to follow, if he can, in the foot- steps of O.

PROGRAM New Roads, Branch Lines Will Be Constructed During Three Years Ottawa, Feb, 25.--New construc- tion under the Canadian National three-year branch line program will cost $28,000,000, and roads to be purchased will cost at least as much, making a total of over $50, 000,000 for new mileage during the next three years, Hon, Charles Dunning, in introducing the Cana- dian National branch line bill Fri. day, sald that the amount of new mileage would be 701 miles and would cost approximately $28,000,» 000. Mr, Dunning sald there had heen conflict between the two rail. ways and as there was danger of duplication, the government had urged the railway managements to confer with each other and seek an adjustment. He could announce that all the areas of conflict had narrowed down to one, that between Aberdeen and Melfort, and he hop- ed that further conference would adjust the differences in that area, The proposed C.P.R. line be- tween Aberdeen and Melfort Is to provide transportation facilities be- tween Saskatoon and the Hudson Bay railway, The program calls for an almost parallc]l line and the business interests in Saskatoon have urged on the government that the C.P.R. charter be granted. Any compromise will take the form of joint construction and ownership of this proposed link between Saska- toon and Melfort, Mr. Dunning announced that the Canadian National railways intend- ed to purchase the Quebec, Mont- real and Southern railway, tho lines known as the Gaspe railways and, although negotiations were not complete, the St, John Valley rail- way also, NORTHERN CHATEAU DESTROYED BY FIRE Kirkland Lake, Feb, 26.--~Fire Friday afternoon d.stroyed 'The Chateau," beautiful home of Harry Oakes, President of Lake Shore Mine.

Ministers in Some Cases Are Charged With Soliciting "Business" New York, N.Y, Feb, 25. -- Mar- riage is exploited streetcar cards, through Chamber of Commerce pub- licity, by merchants and amuscment parks and clergymen splitting fecs with taxicab drivers who bring them customers, in fifty-seven towns in twenty-nine states, according to Fred S, Hall, of the staff of the Russell Sage Foundation, who, with the late Mary E. Richmond, completed re- cently a study of marriage law ad- ministration in thirty different states, "Marriage market towns" are ex- plained as communities with marriage rates more than twice as large us those of their states, or drawing more than one-half of their applicants from other marriage license districts, The investigators had "little inclina- tion" to advertise these places and declined to reveal their names. Investigators for the foundation visited fifteen of the marriage mar- kets in eleven states, In one place a justice of the peace proclaimed his business with a bold- faced sign stating "Marriage Parlor," officiated at the service and acted as public relations renresentative, He charged a couple $3 for performing the service and helping them to ob- tain the license, and an additional $3 if they wished the report of the event withheld from the local newspapers, the investigators said, This particular community had runners, similar to ambulance chas- ers, soliciting trade for the justices. Driving through this town a couple who appeared to a runner as pros- pective bride and groom would find him jumping onto the running board of their automobile and urging them to patronize his particular justice of the peace. In this community 79 per cent of the people married there were found to have come from an- other locality, 'wo justices in a town connected + with a large city by street car line advertised with the following card: "Sweetheart; Be ready at 4 o'clock, we'll go to, just a short ride, and Justices ------ will tie the knot." In a community where the annual mar- riage total doubles the number of in- habitants, clergymen, it was Said, Fave been charged with splitting their fees with taxicab drivers, and one 1....:ter was dismissed by his church for this business. 'The license issuer in another town believed in "getting while the getting was good," He said he assumed that his deputies received money from celebrants to whom marriage condi- dates were directed for the ceremony, The leading justice of the town said, "It pays to advertise" In a larger ity the Chamber of Com- merce, in its publicity, indicates the desiring "a legitimate resort marriage business." The report recommends more spe= cific residential requirements to com- bat the marriage market towns, and laws fequiring that application be made several days before the issuance of the license, Members of the " Byrd Antarctic Expedition selected Y FOUND DEPLORABLE advantages of the place for weddings, | I ro puntry, suz shed | , TI "hard pen, a , thi heir fs 111 nof me m rence ) ;
