â- ^ ?LJ)je fkfs\^ttim 'AWanu. Vol. 58; No. 20 FLESHERTON. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER S, 1938 \V. H. THURSTON & SON, Proprietors Schools Cause Raise Id Artemesia laxes Artemesia Township tax notices are now b«ing delivered by Mr. A. B. Chard, collector,, and most of the ratepayers will find they will be pay- ing more taxes this year than last. An advance in the rate of 4.3 mills has been made throughout the town- ship, while the taxpayers in School Sections three, seven and ten will find an additional raise of 3.4, 2.3 and 4 mills respectively over the 3.4 mills advance aa| stated above, as these sections did not make a levy in 1937 and have to make up for their neglect this year and raise ex- tra money. The tax bill shows that the County rate for high school areas is 8.9 mills, while the rate for non-high school areas is 11.1 mills to take care of the county pupils. Besides the 8.9 mills the high school area is assessed an additional 5.5 mills, a raise of 2.5 mills from 1937. The general school levy is 7.5 mills while in 1937 it was 6.7, due to the fact that the mimimum amount to be raised in each section has advanced from $480 to f540. The general township rate has advanced from three mills in 1937 to five mills this year. This year the township of Artemesia went back to control of roads by a super- all expenditure being made by the Ontario government and were, there- fore, forced to raise the rate by two mills. It will be seeir, therefore, that with the advance of 8.3 mills in taxes in the case of S.S. No. 10, only two mills of that can be mark- ed against the new system, education being responsible for the remainder. 'We have heard considerable com- ment against the raise in taxes throughout the township, many blam- ing the road system for their troubles but such is not ~lhe case. The town- ship council has no control over the expenditures for schools and have to levy for the amounts sent in by the school secretaries. With only a two mill raise in the general rate for road purposes we think that the Council has accomplished a great deal in improving township roads as they have, and at the same time keeping within the limit set for expenditures. LOCAL ATHLETES STARRED AT HANOVER MEET Ptrfect weather greeted young ath- letes from all over South Grey on Friday, October 14, when they as- sembled at Haaover for the annual Interscholastic Field Meet.

Jubilee Services Draw Large Crowds •'What men need to learn is that while they may transgi'ess God's laws, they cannot break t&em" de- clared Rev. Frank Sullivan, Grahams- ville, preaching to a large evening congregation last Sunday at St. Col- umba Church, Priceville, on the third Golden Jubilee Sunday. It was fifty years ago, in 1888, that the white brick church, which is a landmark on the Durham Road, was built and the congregation and friends are celebrat- ing with special services during the month of October. Last Sunday had been designated "as "Former Min- isters' Sunday" and Mr. Sullivan, who was pastor from l928 to 1930, return- ed for the day to be the special speaker. At the morning service he took as his theme Pilate's query to Jesus, "WTiat is Truth?" and the evening message "Thy Word is Truth"' was a development of the former sermon. The speaker declared that Pilate had never been so near the truth as when he stood beside Jesus who was Truth incarnate. "-The peoples of the world must come back to God, give His Wo'-d its rightful place in their lives nine points; D. Smith of Flesherton, ' and base individual, social, political seven points.

Moore of London, Ont, took a trip to the Holy Land a year ago visiting Gibi-alter, Italy, Athens, Egypt and Syria as well as Pales- tine. He has over a hundred beaut- ifully colored slides which he shows along with his lecture. Some Flesh- erton people heard Mr. Moore give his lecture in Toronto and say it is one of the best they ever saw and heard. He is coming under the au- spices of Ceylon United Church and the lecture will be given in St. John's United Church, Flesherton, on Thursday night, October 27, at eight o'clock.

He indicated that all the "isms' that beset mankind today are all an evidence that men have forsaken God's law and put in its place a law of their own imperfect making. He dealt with Communism, Nazism, Fascism, Romanism and Eg- oism, finding them all at fault, and the last named the worst. Concern- ing Russia he said God was never in Russia in the years prior to the Revolution. The church was there, he said, 'but God was not in it. Things are better there now, accord- ing to the speaker, but the best ele- ments in Marxian Socialism are stol- j en directly without acknowledgement frbm the teachings of Jesus. \ The large number at the evening service, w^hen, as ^n the previous Sunday the gallery was thrown open to the congregation, indicated how- much the people of Priceville and vi- cinity were interested in hearing again one of their former ministei-s whose pulpit work is of a high order. A week ago on Jubilee Sunday proper. Rev. C. Sinclair Jones, B.A.. of Watford returned as Jubilee min- ister to the pulpit of St. Columba which he resigned in 1923 after a pastorate of almost five years. His morning subject was "Our duty to the past and future." and in the ev- ening he spoke of "Advertising Chris- tianity," making a very strong ser- mon out of the slogan ".Advertising is telling the right story about the right pi-oduct. in the right way, at the right time." The product, Mr. Jones said, is God, the right story His redeeming love, the right way is through consecrated human lives, and the right time is now. Jubilee Sunday will live long in the minds of those who were priv- ileged to be present, both from far and near. Those who planned the sei-vices enlisted the help of a great man and did their work faithfully, but no one could have foreseen the moving character of the services in which hearts were doeply touched, and lives greatly enriched spiritually. From the first tuneful blast of the Jubilee trumpet in the hands of Mr. Roy Langford. Markdale. on Sunday morning to the rich congregational singing of the Old Hundred Monday evening at the conclusion of the Jub- ilee entertainment, a high standard of worship, fellowship and gratitude to God for his goodness was main- tained. .-Vcccording to one of the officials, •'It is yeai-s, and years, and years since so many pei-sons thronged St. Columba for annivei-sary services, and this one takes second place to none of the fine times in the past.'' .\n interesting feature of the supper was the presence of the doorkeepers of half a century ago. Mr Donald MacMillan, South Line, was in the audienct. while Mr. Malcolm Mclnnis of the Durham Road was chief door- keeper as he was in 1888.
