CANADA’S 91st BIRTHDAY In this year of British Columbia’s Cen- tennial it is interesting to look back and mar- vel at the slender margin by which the de- cision was made on the Pacific Coast to com- plete the structure of Canada, to make this Dominion truly “From Sea to Sea.” Twice in periods of crisis British Colum- bia came close te joining its neighbour to the south as a part of the United States of America. The first time was during the Gold Rush of 1858 when miners from the gold fields California poured into the wilderness by the thousands, They came into the fur trader's domain, a territory without formal govern- ment, unmapped and unsurveyed. Mining camp committees were elected; a private war was fought with the Indians in Fraser Canyon; there was.strong talk of an- nexation by the United States, Only resolute action by Governor James Douglas, taken on the sketchiest of fegal grounds, impressed British sovereigty upon the gold rush on the Lower Fraser. . The next crisis came 10 years later, after the two coalnies of Vancouver Island and Bri- tish Columbia were united. The new colony was deeply in debt, hard times gripped the country, trade was at a standstill. London was far away and colonial ad- ‘ ministrators had little knowledge of, and apparently cared less about this far-flung outpost of Empire, San Francisco was the metropolis ond the transportation centre through which flow- ed all goods, news, travellers. Through the vision and fiery oratory of a few men, British Columbia was argued, per- suaded, almost driven into Confederation, in 1871. “A Mari Usque Ad Mare.!* As Canada approaches her 91st birth- day, we look back and salute the courage of those pioneers whose vision leaped five moun- tain ranges, across thousands of miles of empty prairie lands and another thousand miles of lakes and trees and wilderness, They looked across an empty continent and decided to join with Canada in the building of a new nation. We look forward on our country's 91st birthday, Forward with confidence in Canada 9s a nation, strong enough to stand on our own two feet and, we hope, wise enough to select and mingle the best of our traditions into a distinctive Canadian way of life, — Cloverdale Surrey Leader. THE PREMIER’S CHALLENGE Premier W. A. C. Bennett has chal- lenged any’ “responsible” Progressive Conser- vative to debate provincial government fin- ances. “We'll meet them anywhere, on a public platform wherever they like,” he said. Local Conservatives would be wise to advise their provincial headquarters to take up the challenge. If they don’t, an awful lot of Conservatives are going to be stuck for a topic of conservation at the coffee club.

TIMELESS TOPICS A WEEKLY MESSAGE FROM THE CASTLEGAR MINISTERIAL , ASSOCIATION , '' MAJOR JOHN MOLL And all that believed were together, and had all things common and sold all ‘their possessions and goods, and parted them to ail men, as every man had need and they con- tinued daily with one accord in the Temple, and breaking Bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and in singleness of heart. Praising God, and having Favor with all people. And the Lord: added to, the church daily, such as should be saved. How many churches were there to be- gin with? Did God have any intent to have it different? Is the christian church of today un- divided? What did Jesus mean when He prayed — John 17:11 — Holy Father, keep thou-thine own name those whom thos hast given me, that they may be one as we are? Are you level-headed? Look through the masses, watch their actions and compare. Weigh their fellowship spirit right among the best and see what you will find. Do you not find the door closed to you whtn it comes to breaking of Bread, or do you clase your own door to that because of ignor- ant prejudice? This applies to other ritual dif- ferences. Is it the doctrine of Christ you follow? Or doctrines — which one? There is but one true intespretation of the scripture, and that is through the Holy Ghost. Does the Holy Spirit rule and reign in your heart? Study yourself versus scripture and ask the Lord to help you to understand “1 AM_THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.” . God bless you!

The record was established by a force of over 7,000 men in- volved in mining, plant and shop work and totals 1,404,576 man- hours, “Because our operations cov- er many fields it is hard to com- pare this achievement with other records,” said J. B. Biker, CM & S safety chief, “However, con- sidering our work, I don’t think there are many groups in Canada who can match this record.” Sunday School — 10 a.m. Morning Worship — 11 am.
