THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 6, 1931 PAGE THREE Bowmanuille Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 53 McGill Memorial Gates Are Opened At Bowmanville Impressive Ceremony Took Place at Bowmanville Cemetery--First Decor- ation Day in 30 Years Is Held With an attendance estimated at close to three thousand peo- ple, the McGill Memorial Gates, at the Bowmanville Cemetery, were formally opened at an im- pressive ceremony yesterday. In conjunction with the official open- ing of these gates, the first dec- oration day at Bowmanville Cem- etery in thirty years was also held, Forming at the public school at two o'clock, a procession over a quarter of a mile long, headed by the Canadian Legion and the Drum and Fife Bands paraded to the cemetery. Leaving the school grounds the procession made its way to the Cenotaph in the town park where on behalf of the town, Mayor Milton J. Elliott, placed a wreath on the monument in mem- ory of the fallen. President R. M. Cotton, of the Canadian ILe- gion, also placed a wreath at the bese on behalf of that organiz- ation. The huge crowd stood bareheaded while the bugler sounded 'Last Post" and '"Re- veille." + The parade then wended its way, headed by traffic officer J. H. Hinchliffe, to the cemetery. On arrival at the gates, Major A, H. Bounsall, the builder of the gates, handed them over to Mayor El- liott and the latter formally de- * clared them open. The "veteran town clerk, John Lyle. aver §0 vears of age then cut the ribbon that stretched across the- gates and ex-Mayor M. A. James, who was mayor at the time the MeGill hequest was made, openel the latch, It is to Ex-Mayor James that the credit is given for inter- esting Mr. McGill sufficiently in his native town to will his prop- erty valued at $300,000, to the town on his death in 1906, Mr. James was mayor at that time and was a close friend of Mr. Mec- Gi. "The vast crowd then proceed- ed to the middle of the cemetery where a platform had been built and the service of dedication was held. This service was conduct- ww ed by Rev. C. R. Spencer. rector | of St. John's Church and Rev, W J. Todd, minister of St. Andrev Presbyterian Church. ation day service followed and was conducted Rev. E. F. Armstrong, pastor of Trinity United Church: Capt Bursey of the Salvation Army and Rev. Geo. Mason. The music fm the hymns was played by the €an- | adian Legion Band under band- master R. Lowens. At the conclusion of this ser- vice the decoration of graves was carried out. All the war dead were remembered by the Legion Branth here and the remtery was a blaze of flowers, Bowman- ville's first decoration day in thir- ty vears was a wonderful success and great credit goes to T. H. Leckhart who originated the idea and who supervised arranze- ments and to Major Wilbur Hoar who marshalled the parade per- fectly. The McGill Memorial Gates are in memory of James H. McCll, who was born on Church street, Bowmanville and who amassed a small fortune as an archi'ect in Wushington D.C. Previous to his death he acquainted M. A, James with the fact that he would will his entire property to the town of Bowmanville. When his will was made public on his death in 1906 #t read in part. "I give, devise and hequeath to my wife. Jane I. McGill, the usa. Sor all my real estate to be used and enjoyed by her during the na- The decor- | immediately | bv | tural term of her life, and I give and bequeath all my real estate to the Corporation of the Town of Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. but this bequest to the Corpora- tion of Bowmanville is not to be effective until after the decease of my wife, Jane I, M:Gill."" Mrs. McGill died two years lai-- er and the property belonged to Bowmanville according to the terms of the will, Relatives, however, decided to contest the will and later when the District of Columbia disputed the will on tke grounds that an alien muni- cipality could not hold property in the District of Columbia. a sct- tlement on the basis of 59 pur cent fo r Bowmanville and 41 per cent between the other two rela- tives was made and the two fac- tions joined to fight the District of Columbia. Then for a period of more than 20 years the case was before the United ' States Courts, the late D- B. Simpson, K.C., of Bowmanville handling tho case for some years. later Mr. D. I. McCarthy K.C., of Toronto, taking it over. In 1929 came the news that the District of Colum- bin could not prevent Bowman- ville taking this property hut a stipulation was made that the property should be sold. An en- deavor to sell it is now being made, Up till the present time, the town of Bowmanville has re- ceived about $16,000 from the es- tate in profits and will get in the neighborhood of $180.000 should a sale be made. It was to the memory of this benefactor that these gates were dedicated on Sunday. Council to Meet The regular monthly meeting of the town council will he held in the council room tonight.

CAMP MEETING OF ADVENTISTS HAS COME T0 A CLOSE (Continued from page 1) whose grounds the meetings are held, and over $500 was contri- buted for the completion of a new water system, The Oshawa Missionary Gol- lege has trained scores of young people who today are laboring in the home and mission fields cn- gaged in the various lines of church activity. In spite of the financial stringency, it is planned to carry forward a stronger work this year at the college than ever before. : One of the most interesting ser- vices of the entire encampment was held when fourteen candi- dates were baptised in a mearhy creek by Elder M. V. Campbell. Ten of those baptized were the result of the revival services con- ducted by Mr. Nathan Wager in the Seventh-day Adventist church on Albert Street this winter. It was reported that during 1930 more members were added to the Seventh-day Adventist church in Ontario than in anv past year and already during 1931 more new members have heen taken in than during any previ- ous year. Tt is believed that this is due in part to the growing feeling that the conditions that are developing in the earth indi- cate the nearness of the second coming of Christ as the only hope of the world.

John Lindsay Gives | Fine Address to Whitby | Orangemen In one of the most largely-at- tended annual church services that the local 1.0.1. and 1.0.B.A. lodges have ever had, St. An- drew's Preshyterian Church was filled almost to capacity on Sun- day evening Besides represen- tatives of the local lodges there were also visiting members from Oshawa who worshipped with their brethren. Rev. John Lind-| gay, pastor of the church, who delivered the address, emphasiz ed the fact that the order which they represented stood back of the Bible and its truths and urged that all organizations to he a | success must stand back of the church and the principles for | which it stands. Rev. Lindsay took as his text the thirty-first and thirty-seventh verses of the eighth chapter of ft, John. These fwo passages pointed out two alternatives for the human race, namely, that those who believe in Him are His direiples, while those who seek to kill Him have no place in life, My Lindsay complimented thé on der on the fact that they had always stood for the truths that are to be found in the Bible and urged that they give it an inside place in their lives not only for the evening but. for all time and also urged that they follow in the high principles that man so much needs in time of stress, so that the Bible may have its right- ful place in our thoughts. The principles set forth in the Rible should have a place in the inner conscience, Mr. Lindsay as- gerted, In such trying conditions as are to be found in the country today there is no more nople thing to do than to say, "I may he poor, but T am a gentleman. 1 may not have work to de but I have not done a dishonorable act or defamed my friends." The Bible should Le given a place of trust and a place of love in the lives of everyone, asserted Mr. Lindsay. He urged that his audience make it their guide for life and consult it often in time of need, using it as a guide to un- derstanG God's wishes, Mr. Lind- say insisted that if men heeded the teachings to be found in the Bible that Canada would be a | better country to live in, | | home of her daughter, Mrs. A.
