Obituary FUNERAL OF JAMES 8S. CORMACK Friends and acquaintances, ga- theréd to pay their last tribute to the Christian character and many finé qualities of the late James Sutherland Cormack, almost filled Knox Presbyterian Church to capa: city for the funeral service yester- day afternoon. The service was conducted by Rev. H. F. Davidson, M.A., minister of the church, who was assisted by Rev. William McRoberts, minister of Cooke's Presbyterian Church, Toronto, a former minister of Knox Church. ..In his address Mr. Davidson re. ferred to the leadership given by the deceased to the church he loved so well. Mr. Davidson also pointed out that the acceptance of God's truths and the placing of our trust in Him is the way to salvation. The many floral tributes, which banked the front of the church dur- ing the service, bore mute evidence 'of the high esteem in which the de- ceased was held throughout the community. : The pallbearers were: Fred Rob- erts, George Hunking, R.

The knowledge that in case of an emergency, the United States would co-operate with Colombia in _evacuating up to 250 persons daily to Panama. The problem of remaining is com- plicated because the capitol build. ing, where the conference convened, was one of the structures looted by the rioters. Conference records were torn and burned. Furniture was destroyed and typewriters thrown from the windows. Bogota still is paralyzed. Banks and stores are closed. There is no transportation and some places are without lights. There still are a number of rebel snipers loose. Wide- spread shooting broke out again yesterday in the charred capital. The city's 400,000 population faces a serious health problem. Hospitals crowded with wounded have sent out appeals for serum. Corpses still litter the streets. . Damage rung into millions of dol. lars. Since Friday, roving mobs have smashed at least 1,000 stores, set afire to 40° major buildings and ruined many of the city's churches. The new government of Liberals and Conservatives, established in the 'midst of the rioting, is enforc- ing martial law. Planes hover over the city, apparently trying to spot looters.

Chemist Analyzes Ancient Remains To Chart Columbus, Ohio -- (AP) -- A pro. fessor at Ohio State University is using detective methods to help find out how people in "lost civilizations" lived. . | Dr. Earle R. Caley does it with "archaeological chemis try." By learning the chemical composition of sremains found in prehistoric market places and tombs, the chem- istry professor helps the archaeol. ogist to identify materidls, recon- struct trade routes and detect hist- orica] forgeries. For instance, uranium, essential to the atom bomb, was not new to the Romans. Dr, Caley says research has uni red evid the Rom used 's uranium mineral soon after the beginning of the Christian era. It was found in a glass mosaic mural on the eastern side of the Galola Hill near Rome. Dr. Caley said chemical tests showed the meen galss contained about 15 per cent 'uranium. Archaeologists at first concluded its use was acciden- tal; apparently something a glass maker just picked up. Chemical research, however, es. tablished the Romans sought out uranium as something special. Dr. Caley, who was staff chemist for excavations at Agora, the an- cient market place of Athens, Gree. ce, fingered a test tube of white powder. "This was taken from a woman's grave of the fourth century B.C." be said. 4) w EAR) Aon History 1t was white lead, evidently used as a cosmetic by Greek beauties. In using it, they apparently risked death, for the lead was poisonous. Accurate identification of antient materials is important to the archa- eologist trying to make up a true picture of anciént civilization. "For example," Dr. Caley said, "it might not seem important to deter- mine whether a given object is com- posed of brass or bronze. But a very wrong conclusion as to time of manufacture could be reached by a failuré to appreciate the significance of the distinction. "Brass was first made about the middle of the first century B.C. Bronze was used some 20 centuries earlier." Here is how archaeological chem- istry is used to detect old trade routes. Dr. Caley said copper ore was found in prehistoric mounds in Ohio. Yet there are no copper deposits in that state. Chemical tests showed the copper was from the Lake, Superior region same 700 miles away. Obviously it was brought here by traders. Chemical researchers delving into prehistoric European trade routes discoveted that amber found in many places along the Maediter. ranean was dug from the shores of the Baltic, about 800 miles distant. This showed that early European traders got around more than little, Dr, Caley reasoned. - Fine Lecture Heard By B.LF. ~ Group Sunday Mrs. O. Boake, of Victoria, B.C, addressed a meeting of the Osh- awa Branch British Israel F edera- tion on Sunday, April 11. Her lecture "Britain In Crisis," was one of the finest we have heard. The Scripture lesson was Micah. 7, 16 to 20. "Egypt, symbolical Egypt, represents the day when God's people Israel will again be in bondage," she said. "Britain today is in that position. She is working for others. Everything is 'made for expgrt. She is ra- tioned severely, "and has been brought very low.. In order to "understand these things we must look to the roots in Genesis, snd the fruits in Revelation. In Gene- sis 3-15, we find enmity in the earth between good and evil. It must continue until evil is elimi- nated. It is dividing the world, and we cannot bridge it, as we are trying to do today. a God's plan contained definite material promises to Abraham. His covenant with Abraham was sealed with blood (Gen. 16). It could not be broken. The cove- nant at Sinai was not sealed with blood. That covenant was broken. Israel did not obey. That which went before is a type of what is happening today. e must re- member that the golden calf wus set up in Israel. It is influencing our lives today. When Christ came to earth He was very poor. He had to be. He could not ac- cept any benefits under that sys- tem prevailing then and now, for He would have been. partaking of something contrary to the King- dom of God. Christ made a new covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah only. It was sealed with His blood. By the same act, He made atonement for everyone, of every race, creed or color. The new covenant has not yet come. into operation, for He pro- mised to write His laws upon our hearts. He took up the Cross, which led to crucifixion, and said, "He that will follow Me, must take up his Cross." The new covenant must come into operation through His people Israel. Where are we today? Think of Christ before His crucifixion. He was humiliated to the dust, spat upon, mocked in royal robes. Britain is being: humiliated today. The rest of Israel have to follow. When God considers her crucifixion com- plete, she will rise again. The Marshall Plan is right and proper to feed and clothe the liun- gry and needy (58 Isa. 7) and the U.S.A. (Manasseh) has the wealth to do it. 'But she will not go that way into the Kingdom. She has the Golden Calf in her midst, buried and guarded. It has come to ap-end. . It must be ground to powder and blown away. She must come to. deep humiliation before God ean use her. He will not allow the Kingdom of God to function under pride and arrogane.. There will be crisis after crisis until they realize there is no hope in goid, no hope in man, but only in God! When she comes to that point,.she will be ready for the Resurrection. God has likéned the Gentile em- pires to "wild beasts," who go out to devour. Mrs. Blake showed how differently and how macvel- lously the British Empire was ac- quired about 1600 A.D. The fiag was planted 'on - Newfoundland, without any fighting. In 1607 Virginia was acquired and in 11 years had a representative ~as- #mbly for government. The seeds of self-government were sown. In 1763 Canada (Quebec). When the Frefich arid Spanish acquired ter- ritory they compelled every settler to be a Roman Catholic. Britain allowed them to keep their own language and religion. How ofien we followed the French and "took over." God's Empire was not to be dominated by the Papacy. Australia, New Zealand, India, ete. Territory acquired, contrary to the wishes of the home govein- ment, who wanted trade. It was not taken over by great military forces. "British taxpayers' money was spent for roads, irrigation, ete, in India. Cape Colony was bought for six million pounds. In 1772 the British Navy was sent out on the high seas to stop slavery at an estimated cost of 50 million pounds. She bought the freedom "| of every slave in the British Em- pire at a cost of 20 million pounds. After the South African war, the British taxpayers' money was sent to South Africa to replenish and build up the country. Her treat- ment turned enémies into friends. Loyal men such as General Smuts, who knows: how Britain deals with those she takes over. It is a sacred trust. Gibraltar, Malta, etc.,, were strategic points, or gates, which were needed when the Gentile em- pires came against Israel. God was building up an Empire. Wherever the flag goes, the faith of Jesus goes too. It is the flag of the Covenant--the banner of God's Empire, the Stone Kingdom. What of today! Satan is gath- ering and concentrating his evil forces all aver the world, in every organization. He knows that the time for the setting up of Christ': Kingdom is near. We are living in the most solemn days in the history of the world, when Satan is making his last effort to domi- nate this éarth. Let us pray earn- estly, always, that God will bring into operation that New Covenant, sealed by thé blood of~His son.

Jobless Find Helping Hand In Old Hall Toronto, -- (CP) -- Gay spring crowds which surged throuzh stores and into cocktail bars left two Maritimers unconvinced that Can- ada is riding a time of prosperity. The two young men from Cape Breton, tired after nights of hitch- nd riding freights, app- wrence Hall. They and mounted the building elite enter- tainment centre during the 1800s. Now, after years of disuse, the hall has been renovated by an anonymous Toronto financier as temporary quarters for 'respect- able" unemployed men -- such as the young Maritimers who roamed Toronto streets looking for "any kind of work." They took little con- solation from a government an- nouncement that figursg had dropped. The two passed the sign telling them to "Stop! This is not a public flop house. It is' a tostel for men." They went up to the first landing and read: "Good news! A bath to- day." On the main floor berind a | long counter they were told "You are what you think." The youths, 21 and 23, were not well dressed. At the neck of the windbreaker one wore could be seen - striped flannelette ° which might have been the top of pyjam- as.

Some of the men had ridden freights or hitch-hiked, Others had spent their last dollar. on ° train fare. : Met In Toronto "Please don't put our names' in any article," one asked-when inter- viewed. "My family think I'm get- ting along fine."" A The youths met in "Toronto by accident, and since they knew each other in their home town, they de- cided to team up. The younger, a robust-looking fellow, had been away from home for the last two years. He blamed arrival of displaced persons from Europe when his job in Timmins "folded up." The other said he had been un- employed since 1944, when he quit his casting job because it was too hard on his health. When he tried to join the army in Halifax, he failed to pass the medical examin- ation. Unable to get a steady job he hitch-hiked to Toronto. The men were welcomed as guests at the St. Lawrence hostel after they were "looked over" by a round- faced social worker, Others of the "wrong type" were quickly and quietly shown out. The hostel re- fuses entrance to anyone swearing, smoking, playing cards, smelling of alcohol or lazy, Before the hostel was opened last January, free 35-cent meal tickets were handed out to the line sometimes half a block long. How- ever, this practice ceased when it was discovered some recipients sold their tickets. Now meal tickets are issued only to regular guests -- a ticket for breakfast and dinner. During the day the men are ex- pected to lock for job. If unsuccessful, they wander back to the hostel, and slip into one of the 150 double decker beds in the hall where.

Bluey Is Dead After Operation Toronto, April 13 (CP).--Bluey, the world's most-publicized kan- garoo, is. dead. The little blue-grey animal was flown here for the newspaper By- Line Ball in June, 1947, succumbed to sinus trouble, He had béen treated with penicillin for months at the Riverdale Zoo and under- went one operation to relieve the condition, Death came to Bluey today, 6 hours after his engagement was scheduled to have been announced at Saturday night's By-Line Ball Amana, his bride-to-be which was' flown from Australia this month, made her ball appearance alone. When it was disclosed that they planned to become engaged the North Bay old home week eom- mittee invited Bluey and Amana to spend their honeymoon in that northland resort centre next August.
