The Church Page It is the aim of The Times to devote this page every Sat- urday to matters concerning the churches and the religious life of the community. In this effort we invite the co-op- leaders of the city. Articles and news of a religious or semi-religious nature, as voluntary contributions to this page will be welcomed, in the hope that it may be made a source of helpful inspiration to the people of Oshawa and district. These contributions, of course, should be distinctly non- controversial, but should rather be inspirational in charac- ter. They should be addressed to The Church Page, Oshawa churth workers and religious The Bible and Its Effect on Its Students "I'll tell you what's the matter with you Christians,"--a high-caste Hindu | gentleman was talking with the mis- sionary. -- "you are not as good as your Book!" Rather a startling charge, isn't it? But scrutinize your own life careful- ly under the light of sacred precept before you venture to deny its truth. If only we were all as good as our Book, what a different place this world would be! For the Book is powerful. One writer declares that it has dynamite in it, so wonderful is the way in which it speaks to the hearts of men. Once, when Dr. John Chamberlain had read to the natives of an East Indian city the first chapter of the epistle to the Romans, an intelligent Brahman said to him: "Sir, that chapter was written by one of you missionaries about us Hindus. It de- scribes us exactly." But we know that those inspired" words were writ- ten by the apostle Paul almost two thousand years before the first mis- sionary went to India. A learned Chinese student was em- ployed to translate the New Testa- ment into his native language. At first he worked stolidly, but after a few weeks he came to the missionary greatly agitated. "What a wonderful Book this is!" he exclaimed. "Why so?" questioned his employ- er. . "Because," the Chinese replied, "it tells me so exactly about myself. It knows all that is in me. The One who made this Book must be the One who made me." . An Armenian patient in a Chris- tian hospital in Turkey was given a copy of the Book, and carried it home with him to his native village. Very proudly he exhibited his new possession, but the priest, when he saw it was a Bible, snatched it from his hand, tore it in pieces, and flung it into the street. There it lay until a grocer, coming by, picked it up to use as wrapping paper in his shop. Thus the poorer villagers took home bits of the Word wrapped around a bit of cheese, a few olives, or a can-' dle. And in this strange way that one Bible was scattered all through the countryside. Soon the grocers customers began to ask if he had any more leaves. They had read the torn pages and wanted to know more of the Book. The grocer, of course, knew nothing about the Bible, and could not help them find another. But the leaves were treasured and read over and over again. . A change came into the lives of these simple people as they tried to follow 'this new guide., And then one day a missionary colportenr, on his round through the Turkish provin- ces, reached this obscure village. To his great amazement, a hundred per- sons came demanding Bibles or parts of the Bible, when his errand was known. No Christian preacher had been at work, but the scattered leaves had proclaimed their own mes- sage of light and life, proving once more the power of God's Word tb transform hearts, If only the scattered words and ac- tions which go to make the volume of our daily living all reflected the Christ, then we would indeed be liv- ing epistles, worthy to be "known and read of all men." Oh, if we were only as good as our Book, what a different place this world would be! i IF WE HAD KNOWN "Things I wish I-had known be- fore I was twenty-one," was the subject of three addresses deliver- ed at the Y. M. C. A, Cleveland, recently. G. Lg Fels, the first speaker, read a list of answers given. He had canvassed the mem- bership, and these were among the answers received: I wish I had known-- 1.

HERE TOMORROW nt ------ REV. DR. 8. D. CHOWN One of the outstanding leaders of the United Church of Canada * * LJ At the services in the Albert Street United Church tomorrow, the pulpit will be occupied by the Rev. Dr. 8. D. Chown, former moderator of the United Church ot Canada, and one of its outstanding leaders. Dr. Chown was to have niversary service. preached here during the dedicat- ory services of the new Albert Street United Church, but was prevented from doing so by illness. He is coming tomorrow to fulfil the engagement he had to cancel at that time. The evening service at Albert Street Church will be of a some- what unusual nature in that it will be attended by Mayor Miwcaen, the members of the city council and the board of education, who uave accepted an invitation extended to them by the Rev. R. A. Whattam, pastor of the church. UNVEIL PORTRAIT OF FORMER BIBLE SOCIETY OFFICIAL Memory of Late Rev. Dr. W. B. Cooper Honored by Colleagues Last Wednesday afternoon, at the Bible House, 16 College St., Toronto, before a group of friends representing all sections of Canada, Mr. Sidney T. Smith, a prominent bank director and business man of Winnipeg unveiled a portrait of the late W. B. Cooper, M.A., D.D., who for 20 years had been the efficient and greatly beloved General Sec- retary of the Canadian' Bible So- ciety. This organization is a branch of the great British and Foreign Bible Society. At the same time a Mural Tablet briefly recording the chief facts and an estimate of the value of the career of the late sec- retary was unveiled. Drs. Pidgeon, Inkster, Little, McLennan and oth- ers spoke impressively, and appro- priately. "Some men," said one of the speakers, 'were Christiang but not gentlemeh, others were gentle- men but not Christians, Dr. Cooper was both." At eight o'cloc Wednesday even- ing Massey Hall, Toronto was well filled to celebrate the 25th anni- versary of the Canadian and the 125th anniversary of the British and Foreign Bible Society. It was an inspiration to look at that throng of earnest men and women assem- the Lieutenant-Governor of On-| tario, gracefully and with evident cordiality occupied the chair. The addresses were worthy of the audience and the occasion, and the singing of the Metropolitan: Church choir was probably the best ever heard by the writer at a religious meeting. ° Dr. Lynn Harold Hough, now .of Montreal, was the principal speak- er. With fine energy and brilliance he sketched the marvellous mould- ing power of the Bible on indivi- duals and nations. Who could compute the effect on mankind of such great sayings as "Do justly love mercy and walk humbly with they God," or that other summary of pure religion and undefiled by James, the practical, "Visit the fa therless and widows in their afflic- tion and keep thyself unspotted from the world." With these and many other life giving words of the Bible it is the aim of the Brit- ish and Foreign Bible Society to familiarize all mankind. Who would not aid such a beneficient under- taking? M.A, bled to honor our Bible. His Honor [' Rev. R., B. Patterson, Messrs. C. A. Kinnear, J. H. R. ity In City Churches SPECIAL MUSIC AT SIMCOE ST.

LENTEN HYMN During the Lenten season Jesus, we humbly own That we have ample reason To bow before Thy throne, And hail Thee as the Lord of of Lords, Yet history Thy sad death records. The world's. woe on: Thee 'rested In dark Gethsemane; Thy love was manifested For man on Calvary,-- "Father, forgive them!" was Thy cry : Whén Thou didst for all mortals die. O Lamb of God, Thy dying For sinners such as we, Should cause us to be crying For grace and mercy free No other name but Thine is given To fit our guilty souls for heaven. No other friend but Jesus Can save us from our guilt, Yet from all sin He frees us By His own blood once spilt; Thru' living faith by grace applied His blood is our sin-cleansing tide. 'Let us make full confession: Of all our sins to God, And pray. with intercession, That He withhold the rod, Saying,, like Christ to one of yore, "Go uncondemned, 'and sin no "more." IT WILL WORK 'To teach is a good way \fo get an education. If you want to ow all about a subject, write a book on it, a wise man has said. If you wish to know all things, start in and teach them to others. Luke, and J. D. Mackay of Oshawa were present at 'this successful an- niversary service.

A Cordial Welcome Always to Knox Church THE POWER OF KINDNESS (From "The Christian Science ) Kindness holds peoples and na- tions together in the bonds of friend- ship; indeed, it may be said to be a universal language, for while an individual may not understand an- other's speech,.an act of kindness is always understood. In its true mean- ing, kindness is love expressed as courtsey, brotherliness, thoughtful- ness and consideration for others, all of which qualities express the spint of the Golden Rule given by Christ Jesus: "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them like- wise." The spirit of brotherly love, or kindness, is being "shed abroad in our hearts," and there is in the uni- versal thought a divine influence tending to draw and hold together nations. and individuals in a closer bond of union. When many are work- ing together toward a common pur- pose, each one helping the other, the high goal is more easily atjy@ined. Heads of business concernsWand their employees are beginning to realize that a_ prosperous and har- monious organization 'is the resultof obedience to the rule of kindness and that the organization they: build: is more nearly perfect when pervaded by that spirit of loving co-operation depicted by Isaiah: "They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother. Be of good courage. So the carpenter encour- aged the goldsmith and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil" { Make the Test Speaking out of a ripe experience, one of old said: "O,. taste and see that the Lord.is. blessed is the man that trusteth in Him." Christ- ianity is nothing if it' is not experi- mental. A moment's experience will mean more to the individual soul than a month's explanation. You tell me that you would like to be able to believe, but that you are all the time being troubled with doubt; that, in view of much of the criticism that is abroad, you are not sure whether, the Bible is inspired, whether. the teaching of Jesus is true! To you I will say just what Jesus said: "If any man will do His will he shall know whether the doctrine comes from God."
