Chapman, 'REMEMBERED THE SABBATH When The Oshawa Reformer was established the Sabbath was kept Holy, While in most homes it was regarded as a feast day, the cooking and baking were done on Saturday. Cold suppers were served. The whole family attended church. The men sat on one side of the building, the women and child- ren on the other. The hymns were "lined" out. The congregation was respectful and the minister's ser- | mons were taken as the law and the gospel. The Old Testament was preached from oftener than the New. Reve- lations were made thrilling. No games of any sort were allowed on the Sabbath. It was a long and dreary day for the boys and girls. -- and -- BEVERAGES Two Great Public Choices! . . . % TIMES-GAZETTE "Bottlers Of Coca Cola" Toronto Telegram Ad Manager - Sends Greetings Yor many personal and bus- iness reasons may I con- gratulate you folks on finding it again possible to come back into the daily newspaper fam. ily, As a Past President of the Canadian Dally Newspa- pers Association, I am in a po- sition to know that this will also mean a mutually advan- tageous remarriage.

Memorizing scripture was the sali- ent diversion, e boy or girl who could answer the question in the catechism was regarded as most pro- mising. The old-fashioned "Singing- ing Scheol" would offer an oppor- tunity-to get out in the afternoon and iy grew popular. The organ was not used. The tuning fork gave the pitch, They 'raised" the hymn. Two communities would meet at the school house and have a singing contest. While many families were Puri- tanical in their endeavour for a holy Sabbath, yet its observance was a great teacher of reverence for things sacred. Boys and girls looked upon the church service as a time for quiet listening, and while they sel- dom got anything from the sermon they were taught patience and re- verence. And these early lessons lingered in after years.

"GRANDMA" -- GOD BLESS HER When The Oshawa Reformer was established Grandma's ce in the home was a benediction. She was loved, humored and given re- spectful consideration. She encour- aged her son, counseled and assist- ed her daughter-in-law and spoiled the children, She was the family sician, surgeon and nurse, She new more about old-fashioned stomach ache, mumps, measles, chicken pox, stone bruise, cuts and worms than any doctor in the come munity. She was a great believer ja 3. liniment and home-brewed She had a special chair in a y od cial place. A lace cap covered silvered hair and the needles played until the warm socks were done. She read her Bible wey morning and on Saturday night taught her children their Sunday school les- son. She lived in the past, except when Bobby's buttons and Corrine"s curls and the masculine maraud- ers called her to the actual] present. 8he sat In the "Amen" corner and beamed upon the preacher and she believed every word he sald. When she "spent the day" with a neighbor, something was lacking in the home. No one could define it but all felt it. Except when "poorly" she was chi 1 and sweet-spirited. The fragrance of her devout life was felt by all, and when she was taken by the angels that fragrance lingered and her empty chair,. with a shawl over the back, was touched with tender | hands. EE Er -- PARTIES GREAT EVENTS When The Oshawa Reformer was tablished young people had par- ties. They played games in which all took part. There was no pairing off in dark corners. "Spinning the plate," "Poor Pussy wants a cor- ner," and "dropping the handkers HOSPITALITY PARAMOUNT When The Oshawa Reformer was established the Sabbath was kept tended. People liked other people, trusted and enjoyed them and gave and received invitations. Welcome was a big and meaning word. Hos- pitality was written in every man's heart. Company was prized and en- chief" were the most popular. Char- | joyed ades grew in favor with the young men and ladles, Ice cream was rare and considered a delicacy. Pig-foot gelatine was an acceptable dessert. At the parties the older folk were present and looked on with keen in- terest. "Virginia reel" was the only kind of dance allowed and in this the older people frequently took part. ' Engagements were regarded as sacred and usually resulted in mar- riage. Divorce -was rare. Court- ships were long. Elopements did not - often take place. The young man usually ke to the girl's fa- ther first. Galning his consent, he "popped the question" to the girl, Marriages were notable events. The boys gave the groom a ride on a rall or some other form of chari- vari, which 'must be accepted in good nature. Some kind of a jolli- fication was tipped to the interest- ed parties and refreshments of cake and custard were prepared and served. yed. Sometimes one entire family would "spend the day" with a neighboring family. The children would play, the men would sit in chairs or on benches under the shade and talk crops or politics. The women gossiped of styles, wed- dings, canning fruit and other top- ics dear to the feminine mind. Newspapers were not so numerous as now and nearly everyone had some news to impart. The hostess for the day was not "put out" or embarrassed. If very intimate, the visiting lady would help in prepar- ing the dinner, as fifteen or . twenty young people would go from church to "Grandpa's" and were received joyfully and fed bountifully. And no one enjoyed the day more than "Grandpa." The young people were not invited but were expected. Cards were not offered as visits. Families viea with each other in their invitations to dinner.
