Paganism Penetrated ll By Power of The Evangelical Alliance Mission stirred not only the imagination, but the prayer life of Calvary Bap- tist Church, Oshawa, through its sentation of its great work in Eouth Africa where it operates in approximately half of the 472,540 uare miles of territory. v. Harold and Js. Johnston, Canadian representatives Mission, presented ihe glaring need of this work in w and film Perhaps the amplificatio of the message was seen through the con- trast of palatial and attractive Dur- ban, that salubrious part of Africa which has, metphorically speak- ing, in its backyard the rankest raw Paganism practised in the foot hills of Natal. Those who saw the film and those of you who read this article may find it hard to believe that all the debauchery and licentiousness of Paganism exists in this sophisticated 1953 in as | glaring a form as it did when f fo ingetone set out to blaze his | trails across Africa and cried out in the face of all the need "any- where provided it is forward." A paganism that has a psuedo civil- ization is a far great menace to the world than a raw paganism since the black man very rea learns the white man's vices rath- | er than his virtues and adds them to his own. : < The breakdown of tribal life in South Africa through the demands | of the gold and diamond mines has created a menacing situation in and around the great industrial centres such as Johannesburg where the natives squat in the most sordid conditions of Nfe in the ut- most debauchery and degration. Modern givilization has failed la- mentably to meet this need as is all too evident with Paganism parked on the doorstep of Johan- nesburg. So, The Evangelical Al- liance Mission started in a little over sixty years ago to penetrate this paganism and at the present fime has one hundred missionaries 'working in seventeen mission sta- tions, with more than fifty elemen- tary schools. Through this means lism is ducted in every section and kraal and the vast lo- cations of Johannesburg and else- where. Africa's open sore is being salted by Communistic agitation among the native labourers and a racial | and national feeling has clashed in | this country and the Communists are using the racial situation to agitate the people and to feed on the chaos that results. Christ alone has the answer, and salvation by faith in a risen Saviour the only power that penetrates the pagan curtain. R. Hunter was a most accept- able guest soloist and Mrs. John- ston played a most enjoyable trum- pet solo. Rev. Doug Percy, Sudan Inter- jor Mission, addressed an enthral- led Men's Meeting in Calvary Bap- tist Church, 3 o'clock Sunday. A well informed and cultured speaker, au fait with the events of today and the trend of the olitical, economic, social and spir- tual life of Nigeria and surround- ing territories, stressed this fact: that men, in our Canadian and American churches are failing tra- cally in the Christian fight. With een insight he analyzed the econ- omic situation in Nigeria and Africa in general, pointing out that Africa is the land of treasure and the land of trouble, containing as it does the largest percentage of minerals and commodities neces- sary to our modern civilization. The focal point of world interest, according to the speaker, was not Europe, -nor the Far East, but this vast continent with its still great untouched tracts of land, its man- power so plentiful and hitherto ex- ploited unmercifully, a land with an economic problem which has been exaggerated because of the lack of sufficient industries to re- gulate its exports and dmports. An dily | by them so the Gospel - aggravation that has become in- creasingly glaring because of a continent without a currency of its own, still being * dependefit upon English, French and Portuguese standards. The social problems have left the people in a state of mental atrophy in a mental va- cuum. Politically, one of the de- te factors was the fact of war training of raw pagans brought .|away from their hill kraals, train- ed in the use of modern weapons, transported in ships the like of which they had never dreamed of, brought into touch with cities such as y had never heard of, and made to fight the white man under a system of war that was fantastic. From a state of penury, they were transported to a condition of plen- ty; from one of subjection to a state of authority. Hav! fought the white man's battles y now feel confident to fight the white man in Nigeria. Nigeria today is determined to be free from British rule and Communism is insidiously working underhand and openly to foster this vision so that the vast re- sources of Nigeria will be at the disposal of this ideology, controlled at no other country can have use of them. The Sudan Interior Mission is attempting by means of the printing of the "Africa Challenge," a West -Afri- can paper, to spread the truth about Communism, and to put in- to the hands of Africa's millions the facts concerning modern trends and Christian truth. This paper is being disseminated from Johannes- burg to the Sahara, but today needs support of every Christian think- ing man and woman, financially and prayerfully, to make this pub- lication possible as a bulwark against the insidious literature of a Communistic regime. On the Ivory Coast alone of West Africa there are one million registered Communists. This remote condi- tion is impinging itself upon us and yet there is no shaking in the hearts of men to meet the awful challenge. A tremendous task is facing the Church of Jesus Christ, since Africa is rising to freedom and it depends on the church what type of freedom that will be, for Christ alone is the key to Africa's future. Today pagan children are aged be- fore the age of puberty because of the devilishness of paganism, and to let millions of them die in this pagan darkness is seemingly a crime that can be laid at the church's door. The Mau Mau among the Kikuyu is the outcome of mental bewilderment and spirit- ual frustration caused through the attempt of the white man to force upon the black man two thousand years of civilization in the space of 50 years. This confusion Communism has fastened on, and is the subversive force asidiously working under- handedly because of the grim al- liance between modern politics and paganism. Only the staunch stand of the Christian Resistance. Move- ment has averted a wholesale in- doctrination of the pagan tribes of East Africa with the virus of Com- munism, and the stand they are taking is mak history. The at» titude the church is adopting to- wards an awakening Africa isa Iso making history and it could be the blackest or the most brilliant, ac- Co! as to how the church re- acts to the challenge of Africa's need. The film "Speed the Light" shown by the Sudan Interior Mis- sion representative, and produced by that Missionary Society, was epic in its presentation of the vast- ness of modern missionary enter- prise and challenging in its revela- tion of the awful darkness of the dark continent, A great Missionary Conference has ended; its results continue, R. Hunter of Hamilton, guest singer, was a host in him- self. Brisk Demand For Holsteins Jos. Darlington, sales agent for the County Holstein Clubs in York, Ontario, and Simcoe Counties, re- rts that there has been a brisk emand for cattle for the past two months, both for the export and lo- cal markets. During that time he has sold more than 250 head of cattle which is as many as he has ever sold during a comparable period of time. According to Mr. Darlington, prices have been good, with ani- mals of better than average qual- ity bringing as good prices as they ever did. Mr. Darlington states that most of the cattle he has handled have been exported to Pennsylvania, but that he has also sent high class lots to other States, including one exceptionally good shipment of 20 hag to Herman Gee, Orland Park, Another good lot of 15 head went to R. A. Cowan, df St. Johns, Nfld. Mr. Cowan had previously pur- chased animals through Mr. Dar- lington, and now has a milk of approximately 40 head. He sup- plies. milk for the St. John's mar- ket at $9.50 a cwt. . COMING EVENTS BINGO AT THE AVALON. KING ST.

It reached a total value of $951,- 000,000 on Aug. 31 and likely will go high er--providing Canadian gold production is maintained. The swelling stockpile represents a shift in government policy: to build up its coffers with more pure gold and fewer United States dol- lars in the official exchange fund which helps to support the strength of the Canadian dollar in the money markets of the world. The policy change, says officials, was decided several years ago, but was ted slowly b the government felt it would be foolish to rush in and buy large amounts of gold to increase its stockpile. The decision was taken that the majority--if not all--of fresh Cana- dian production, offered to the mint at the official price of $35 (US.) a fine ounce, would be stored in. Bank of Canada and other vaults, rather than offered for sale to the world's biggest buyer, the United States. Some of the government's in- tentions became evident in 1951, In 1950, when the official reserves totalled $1,741,500,000, the govern- ment held $2 in U.S. dollars for every $1 in gold. In 1951 when the reserves in- creased to $1,778,600,000, the gov- Gov't Puts Gold Back Underground ernment held almost as much of this in gold as in dollars. Since 1950, holdings of, pure gold have almost doubled, while hold- ings in American dollars have been trimmed sharply. The gold stockpile last August reached $951,000,000, co mpared with $580,000,000 in 1950; the U.S. dollar holdings last August were $813,400,00, compared with $1,161, 5000,000 three years ago. While this shift in emphasis from dollars to gold has been going on quietly, the strength of the reserves has been relatively well maintain- ed. They totalled $1,764,400,000 on Aug. 31, a little higher than the $1,755,700,000 on July 31 and about $100,000,000 below the all-time high of $1,866,800,000 on Jan. 31 last. . While this explains the growth of gold in the reserves, little ex- planation can be obtained for the government's decision to make the shift. "It was felt that perhaps we were not holding enough gold for a country of this si%e" an official said, but declined to go elaborate," The larger its holdings of gold, the better the government's posi- tion would be if the U.S. decided to raise the official price of $35 an ounce. : Officials denied that they had this in mind when they made the policy shift. And the U.S. has made clear time and again that it op- poses a price boost. By ELIZABETH KITSON OSLO (Reuters) -- Newspaper men and other "outsiders' are in- vading Norway's diplomatic field and the career diplomats don't like it. The trouble blew up at the beginning of July when new ap- pointments to four legation posts abroad were announced. One of the. new ministers, ap- pointed to the legation in Helsinki, was Hans Olav, a well-known newspaper man who for several years has been head of the foreign ministry's press and information department. A few years earlier | another newspaper man, who had held the same press officer post, had jumped from there to ambassa- dorial rank, first in New Delhi, and later in Moscow. Together with the new appoint- ments, it was announced that two ministers had been called home and placed on the foreign ministry list of those awaiting assignment. One of these, Carl Marcus Francis Irgens, Norwegian minister in Cairo, at once telegraphed a pro- test to the prime minister. Newspaper Men Become Diplomats He complained that he found it particularly galling that one of the vacant posts, Helsinki, had been filled by "an official whose con- nection with the foreign service has been restricted to work in the press department." At the same time, the career diplomats in the foreign ministry also sent a protest to the foreign minister to '"'express their regret that the post in Helsinki had been filled by a man from outside the regular foreign service." Asked in Parliament what prin- ciples were followed in the matter of diplomatic appointments, the prime minister, Oscar Torp, said that the government's principle was simply: "The right man in the right job." He pointed out that nowadays heads of missions abroad often need specialized knowledge out- side. of that provided by normal diplomatic training and that there- fore it was vitally important that men should be found with the special qualifications which each post requires whether or not they were from the ranks of the regular foreign service. Defenceless Man Shot By Hoodlum WINDSOR, Ont. (CP) -- Ray Brown, a 54-year-old service sta- tion attendant, was shot in the stomach early Sunday by a masked robber who said he shot 'to show that I mean business," Hospital officials said Sunday night his con- dition was fairly good. However, an operation for re- Jioval of the bullet was unsuccess- The bandit escaped with about $200 after threatening two youths who were in the service station office with Brown. Accoring to Kenneth Plumb, 17, a part-time helper in the service station which is owned by his father, the masked man pushed past Brown and then turned and shoved a revolver in his back. Brown made no attempt to re- sist but when he turned to face the man, one shot was fired and the attendant fell. "That was to show that I mean COME TO THE Y.W.CA.

Addressing more than 600 veter- ans, Mr. Croll said: "The low ebb to which commun- ism has fallen in this country is not because of decreased effort on the part of its propagandists, but b we Canadi have gone a long way towards eliminating the discontent upon which the com- munist. ideology thrives.", BIRTHDAYS Congratulations are extend- ed to Ben Corson, 419 King Street West, who is celebrating his birthday today.

A contract has been let to W. B. Bennett Paving Limited of Oshawa, an extension of the contract now held by Bennett for paving of other city streets this year. ORIGINAL PROPOSAL The 44-foot width-is as originally proposed and as authorized by by- law 2945 which has passed one year ago with the approval of The Ontario Municipal Board. Earlier this year, council had decided to reduce the width of the major por- tion of this pavement to 33 feet, leaving the width of the pavement on the bridge over Oshawa Creek and the width of - the pavement from Park Road to Cromwell Av- enue at 44 feet and increasing the width of the pavement from Sim- coe Street to the entrance to High- way 401 to 50 feet. The action tak- en on Friday last restores the 44 feet width throughout. Council's decision resulted from an emergency in which it found itself in cc q of a decisi of The Ontario Municipal Board to hold a public hearing in Oshawa on October 8 next in respect of council's application for approval of its proposed by-law to change the width of the pavement. The contractor is ready to begin work on the pavenant and, in the opin- ion of the City Engineer's Depart- ment, it is essential that such work begin immediately if it is to be finished this year. There would have been a loss of time of at least two weeks if the work had been held up pending the hearing and, in the opinion of the city solicitor and city trea; the board would likely have reserved its final decision so that commence- ment of the work might well have been delayed until late in October. Any such delay plus the uncer- tainty of autumn weather would probably have made it impossible to finish the work this year or, jiigeed, to progress very far with it. TWO DIFFICULTIES The prospect of having 1953 end with the work unfinished left coun- cil faced with 2 cources of troubles. One was the condition in which Bloor Street might be left through- out the winter and early spring. The other, and more important, was the fact that no Department of Highways subsidy would be paid in respect of 1953 expenditures to the extent that the work was un- finished and that the city's 1954 expenditures on hghways might be held down, for subsidy purposes, to the amount expended in 1953. It will be recalled that the De- partment of Highways made a very serious reduction in Oshawa's ap- proved expenditures for 1953, us- mg the actual 1952 expenditures as a basis for such reduction and that Council succeeded in having the major part of such reduction re- stored only after lengthy discus- sions with the Minister of High- ways. The amount restored includ- ed the cost of the Bloor Street pavement. Council recognized the probability that the same situation might occur in 1954 if the Bloor Street work were not finished and the distinct possibility that they might be unable to persuade the minister to restore the amount of any cut a second time. The poten- tial loss of subsidy was estimated at $30,000 for. 1 and at double this amount for 1954. Faced with this situation, coun- cil decided that the potential sav- ing from reducing the width of the pavement, estimated at $18,571.95, was not worth the risks involved and passed d motion rescinding its earlier motions in respect of the pavement width, withdrawing its application to The Ontario Municl- pal Board for approval of the pro- posed amending by-law. This means that there will be noe public hearing on the subject and that the width of the pavement will remain 44 feet. By a further motion, coun- cil authorized the immediate com- mencement of construction of the pavement in accordance with the original by-law. » If unable to wo i not what you earn but what you save that contributes to your future financial security | Every young man and woman should permanently save at least 10% of their incomes (after taxes are deducted).
