How Pure Is The Food Wé Buy? 2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, April 9, 1959 ‘Can Canadians trust the food they buy? According to Robert Fulford, writing in a recent issue of The Chatelaine, “food controls in Canada are so vague and so tangled in a web of official lines of authority, that no Canadian can say for sure whether most of our food meets even minimum standards of purity.” Fulford presented two facts: more than 30 per cent of the milk sold in Canada, was unpasteurized and from 10 to 20 per cent of meat was never seen by a government inspector. Since Jack Miner’s death a quiz program was held in the United States over a national radio hook up and by a vote of four to one Jack Miner was voted the greatest naturalist that ever Senator Joseph Bradette. paying tribute to Jack Miner in the Canadian Senate, said, “The European countries gave the world great artists, great sculptors, great philosophers and great musicians, but Canada gave the world one of its great naturalists." On April 17, 1947, some three years after the death of the late Jack Miner. the Canadian Government by an act of Parliament created by a unanimous vote what is known as National Wild Life Week to always fall on the birthday of the late Jack Miner which is April 10. In London, England, Sir Herbert Brent Grotian, Bart D.L., K.C., in pay- ing tribute to Jack Miner, said “If you wish to see Jack Miner’s monument or memgrial, 199k around you.” Little did the parents of the late Jack Miner realize some 98 years ago, April 1, 1865, when Jack Miner, the Canadian naturalist. was born in the suburbs of Cleveland. Ohio, that not on- ly Canada and the United States. but England and the civilized world would honour and pay tribute to the man who for the last 13 years of his life was Canada’s best known citizen whom Ed- die Guest, the Detroit poet, refers to as ‘the best loved Christian in America'. When he died he ranked fifth in fame on the continent. The ones preceding him were Edison, Ford, Lindbergh and Rickenbacker. In view of these facts, he wonder- CONSULT US FOR YOUR . . .

Only two of Canada’s ten provinces had made pasteurization totally compulsory. Elsewhere, consumers were forced to rely on a scattering of local bylaws, which may or may not be carefully en- forced. ed why the Federal Department of Wel- fare should state that Canadians need have no qualms about what they get at their grocery, pharmacy or cosmetic counter.

The trouble is that they exer- cise such a tremendous hold on us. Israel was constantly being challenged by the prophets to topple over their images, and to return to the worship and ser- vice of, the living God. This chal- lenge is still relevant today; We needyto see where our veneration of our false gods is leading us to. It is leading us down a road which can only result in darkness and despair.

We have an inner need for God which is built right into our constitution. No substitute can ever satisfy that need. But so often in our self-sufficiency we fight against that need. We try to make out that we don’t really need God as much as the Church says we do. We are willing to patronize God, by going through the forms of religion, such as church membership, attendance at divine worship, service, giving. But all the while we do not per- mit the hand of God to touch us at the centre of our being. God wants to be at the centre of our lives. He alone can give them meaning. ,He reaches out His hands to touch us and make us His alone. Notice that His hands bear the print of nails. He has gone “all the way" to make it possible for us to find our way 'cannot escape it. Did you ever notice that the Bible contains no proofs for the existence of “a God". Why is this? Simply, because the writers of the Bible knew that ‘proofs’ for the existence of God don’t really matter, if a person has not brought his life under the con- trol of God. The Bible challen- ges us with an inescapable ques- tion. Which God will you serve? The moral god of the universe who demands righteousness from his creatures? The Holy God of the Bible who will by no means clear the guilty? The loving God who has dealt with the sin of the world in the death of His Son? The gracious God who accepts us as we are when we come in re- pentance and faith to Him? This is the true God -â€" the God of the Bible. All other gods are false gods. l of paramount importance. A study of man shows us that he is incurably religious. Men every- where give themselves to the wor- ship of something; It may be a political philosophy as in the case of the,Communists. It may be.a ‘way of life‘ which we think worth holding on to. It may be our money, homes, cars, education. family, it may be ourSelves. But we all worship something and give ourselves to something. We cannot escape it. ‘ I suppose a great many people an reading that article were im- pressed by such a high percent- age of religiosity. But I wonder if we should be? Do you remem- ber how Paul felt when he came to the city of Athens â€" and saw the whole city given over to a worship of its various deities? We read, “Paul’s spin‘t was stirred within him when he saw the whole city given over to idolatry”. Giv- en over to religion! It ls not belief In ‘a’ God which really matters. It is whether we believe in and are committed to the true and living God which ls In the early days of World War 11 one of the leading Canadian magazine conducted a Gallup poll to see how many people in Can- ada had religious beliefs. It was reported that 92 per cent of the Canadian people believed in the existence of God, or some spiri- tual power beyond man.
