ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 "WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 PITFALLS IN EVANGELISM OUTLINED TO MIN New $450,000 Pickering District High School Opens Doors ISTERS Churchmen Told To Check Methods | Before Campaigns A thivty-five-year-old minister who refused a $1,000-a- week salary to work in his chosen field of evangelism -- because of the amount of wages offered was "immoral", Rev. Charles B. Templeton of Toronto and New York yester- day told 200 United Church ministers and laymen in con- ferences here that modern-day evangelism is having a tre- mendous resurgence, but that those who practise it must be fully acquainted with both its liabilities and possibilities. |§ "In the past there have been many church people who are mot really opposed to evangelism, who disliked its methods so much and recognized the difficulties it might entail, who would rather get along without it at all than become involved in some of the problems it can engender," said Mr. Templeton. "Before an organized church accepts participation in any evangelistic campaign it should insist on certain conditions." "J is one thing to be born again, ® but it is another matter to bring the baby along to successful matur- ity," Mr. Templeton explained. " Financial impropriety has been one of the faults of many evangel- istic campaigns," said the speaker. "It is often too easy to love the Love Offering. The day of the Love Offering has got to go. The evan- gelist has got to realize that he is a minister. He should be on a salary as other ministers. Also, he should CAN'T LIVE IN VACUUM First of these conditions is that evangelism must go beyond pure- ly individual emphasis, said Mr. Templeton. It is not enough to love God with all one's heart. One must love his neighbour as himself. The converted individual is not a dis- embodied spirit. Therefore evan- ministry of Jesus Christ. Secondly, the evangelist must have an understanding of the his- tory and background of the church. Those who are unwilling to work with an church present problems. It has a divisive tenden- ey and must be resolved by being conditioned by an understanding of the Christian eburch-in all its facets, Thus it is important that evangelistic campaigns do not tend to become destructive of the work of the church. be responsible $o his brethern in some shure Cleaniaions, FEAR N( ALID "Evangelism has got to provide ® BALLET eo NATIONAL ® TOE AND TAP TONIGHT at the LADIES' COLLEGE by the HARVEY Dancing Academy Register Mon, Sept. 10 <4 to 6 p.m. a deeper motive than fear and emotion. While it is important that seemliness and propriety be al- ways observed, don't be afraid of emotionalism," said Mr. Tem-| | pleton. "The cardinal sin of the ministry is to be uninteresting. Men can seldom be argued into the Kingdom of God." He went on to say that today men and women don't have enough sense of the urgency of redemption. And finally, Mr. Templeton made the point that evangelism should take care to avoid negative em- phasis because it is a prime point of Christian teaching to demand the positive emphasis in Christian living. Mr. Templeton's whole address was shot with penetrating humor. He said that yesterday he would not discuss methods of evangelism but rather outline what is happen- ing throughout the continent and would take note of things about which to be on guard. That is, the place of evangelism without the excesses which have been commit- ted in the past. "You can almost never win a Canadian or American from sheer paganism through evangelism," said Mr. Templeton. "Almost al- ways he has been touched previ- ously through some normal con- tact of pastoral relations or per- haps Sunday School." FIELD IS SUSPECT Nothing is more suspect than the field of evangelism, he said. And there are good reasons behind most of the current antipathy to evan- gelism. One is that the dollar sign has loomed too large in campaigns, PITFALLS (Continued on Page 5) THE COUNTY BOWL o Sxhubition Match o DANWOOD'S BOWLERS of Toronto Vs.

The Whitby Stokers go to Parham on Saturday night. This the first game of a best of three series for the E astern Ontario Championship. The Stokers have their guns set on a win, This means there will be no game here tonight. So dont be making the regular trip to the local park on Friday night as the Stokers will be rest- ne up for the big game on Satur- ay. This promises to be a real battle as the Stokers will be out to avenge the defeats handed them by the colorful Parham team last year. The Parham team are a plucky bunch of fellows and they know more than just a little about the game. The Stokers will have to be on their toes to get by these fel- lows but we think they have what it takes. BIG OUTPOST Scattered among the Philippine islands is a population of almost 20 million.

The main speaker yesterday, whose remarks are reported elsewhere, was Rev. Chales B. Templeton of New York City and Toronto, representing the Presbyterian Church in the United States. Mr. Templeton was born in To- ronto thirty-six years ago, and was widely known in Canadian sports circles in football, basketball, track and field. After finishing high school, he was a sports cartoonist on the Toronto Globe and Mail, producing a daily cartoon for four | years and later running a syndi- | cated column across Canada under 'the title, "Chuck Templeton's Sportraits." | Following his conversion in 1936 |he spent three years in itinerant |evangelistic work in the United | States and Canada. Following this, { Mr. Templeton organized and was | minister for seven years of Avenue Road Church in Toronto. This Church was begun without any members, but within a space of one and one-half years the seating capacity of 1,200 was inadequate and a gallery was added. A total of 4,500 people attended the three Sunday services each week accord- ing to Maclean's Magazine, and stories of the phenomenal growth of Mr, Templeton's Church were carried in many Canadian publi- cations, including Liberty, New World, Montreal Standard, and Maclean's. In 1048, Mr. Templeton enrolled as a special student in Princeton Theological Seminary where he completed a three-year course of study. During this period he served as interim minister of the Presby- terian Church of the Covenant in Philadelphia, and the First Pres- byterian Church of Ewing in Tren- ton, N.J. In addition he conducted a number of evangelistic campaigns in many important churches, in- cluding Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, of which CONFERENCE (Continued on Page %) A most interesting and valuable document linking the present with the early development days of Ca- nada was recently found in the old Gould residence near Uxbridge, which is being remodelled for use by a benevolent order. It is a large record book, perfectly preserved, containing "Maps, Reports and Esti- mates relating to the improvement of the Navigation of the River St. Lawrence, and a proposed canal connecting' the River St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain."

A committee was set up to make arrangements, and it is expected that it will take the form of a social gathering. Speaker Pays Great Tribute To Rev. Chote An interesting sidelight to the visit of Rev. Charles Templeton of Toronto and New York to Whitby yesterday as speaker at a United Church conference, was his reference to Rev. Arthur Chote of Millbrook, former S¢, John's rector at Port Whitby, Mr. Templeton greeted his old friend Mr. Chote who sat mod- estly at the rear of the room and told the audience that It was Rev. Chote who encouraged him to go to the States for further theological studies which have changed the course of his ministry, OFFER CONGRATULATIONS The members offered their hearty congratulations and good wishes to Secretary Frank Thread- gold, who recently brought honor to the branch by being elected vice-chairman of the Provincial Command.
