DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for MARCH 10,558 SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1951 1d \ Gideon Sunday Tomorrow is Gideon Sunday in Oshawa. The pulpits of many of the churches of the city will be occupied by representatives of the Canadian Branch of the Gideons' Inter- national movement, an organization 'of Chris- tian business men which is making its influ- ence felt in a striking way throughout the United States and Canada. Thly have a story to tell which should make a deep im- pression on the minds of all who hear them. The story of the Gideons 's that of # move- ment which had a small beginning and which has grown to be a great power for good. It began just over 50 years ago, in 1899, when the Association of Christian Commercial Travellers was organized at Janesville, Wis- consin. The first purpose was to have a copy of the Bible placed in every hotel guest room. Since then it has, however, greatly expand- ed its objectives, and, in addition to its work in the distribution of the Scriptures, it has become a vital force in the winning of men and women for Jesus Christ. The Canadian Branch of the Gideons was formed in 1911, and for forty years it has been working closely with the international organization in spreading the gospel in this country. The original idea of a Bible in ev- ery hotel guest room has grown far beyond that concept of Christian service, and today copies of the Scriptures are made available also in schools, hospitals, in military estab- lishments and penal institutions, not only in English but in several foreign languages to meet the needs of new Canadians. Up to the present, in Canada, the Gideons have distributed 346,630 Bibles and 403,099 copies of the New Testament. The break- down of this distribution is as follows: ho- tels, 150,541; schools, 134,895; hospitals, 42,- 101; military establishments, 10,345; penal institutions, 6,678. Over 19,950 copies have been distributed in foreign languages. One further statistical figure, and it is impres- sive--since its inception, the Gideons In- ternational has distributed 20,700,000 Bibles and testaments. This Bible distribution is, however, only one of the outward expressions of the Chris- tian zeal and desire for service on the part of the Gideons. Its fundamental purpose is to build Christian ideals into the business life of those areas in which it operates. In Oshawa, there is an active camp, under the presidency of Morley Wyman, which is carrying forward its ideals in this commu- nity. The Gideons are earnest, sincere busi- ness men, and they have a vital message to give to those who hear them in Oshawa churches tomorrow. MacArthur's Views The whole world, and particularly the United States, has been waiting eagerly for the address which General Douglas Mac- Arthur was scheduled to make to the United States Congress on his return from the Far East. The speech has been made, and it has told the world very little more than it knew before about the differences between the General and the United States adminis- tration. 'General MacArthur merely reitera- ted the statements which he had made be- fore, and which resulted in his removal from the Far Eastern Command. Put briefly, General MacArthur does not believe that the Korean war can be brought to a successful conclusion unless there are: 1. An economic blockade of China. 2. A naval blockade of the China Coast, 3. Removal of the restrictions on aerial reconnaissance over China. it. A removal of the restrictions on the ground forces of Nationalist China, with logistical support from the United States. Where General MacArthur broke new ground was where he said that these views have been fully shared by practically every military leader, including the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, If that statement is gorrect, it would appear that the views of the United States administration are at var- iance with those of its own Chiefs of Staff. The only difference between their attitude and that of MacArthur would then be that they maintained a rigid silence on their views, while he expressed his quite openly. President Truman has already stated the reasons for his disagreement with the views of General MacArthur. He, and the leaders of other nations, are convinced that if Gen- eral MacArthur's ideas were adopted, it might mean another world war. The General thinks otherwise, but it is the responsibility of the administration, working in concert with the United Nations Organization, to de- cide matters of grand strategy, and for the military leaders to put that strategy into effect. General MacArthur's. speech has revealed nothing new in the controversy which has stirred the United States. It has only strengthened the belief that President Tru- man could not have done otherwise than he did in view of all the circumstances. A Warning Oshawa motorists who make a practice of frequent trips to Toronto will have to be on their guard when travelling on Highway No. 2 from Stop 35 at West Hill to Stop 12 at Scarboro. The petition which was presented to the province recently by the Scarboro township council, asking that certain areas between these two points be designated as 30-mile speed limit zones, has been granted. Signs marking the areas included in the re- duced speed limit zones are now being placed along the highway where necessary. Whether the province has acted wisely or unwisely in acceding to this request, and spotting thirty-mile zones here and there along this stretch of highway, these zones are official, and the speed limit will have te be observed by motorists. We can foresee some serious congestion on Highway No. 2 now that these new zones are in effect. It is going to cause great.confusion on the high- way to have motorists change. their speed from fifty miles to thirty miles and back several times in this stretch of road. And every time the slow down occurs, as it must, traffic will pile up on the road and cause congestion. As was pointed out in these columns recently, it would be far better for the provincial government to establish an intermediate speed limit of forty miles an hour and apply it to the whole of this stretch of highway, rather than have the spotty system which is now being applied. However, the law now says that there are thirty-mile speed limit zones on Highway No. 2, and it becomes the duty of all motor- ists to observe them, no matter what confus- ion and congestion may result.

When I prayerfully look In the precious old Book, Many pleasures and treasures I see; Many tokens of love From the Father above, Who is nearest and dearest to me. This old Book is my guide; Tis a friend by my side, It will lighten and brighten my way; And each promise, I find, Soothes and gladdens the mind As I read it and heed it each day To this Book I will cling, Of its worth I will sing, Though great losses and crosses be mine, ® A Bible Thought e Our audience Is vaster than we think.
