Only the privileged few had access to libraries in those days, and young John had a difficult time to find books just to teach himself to read and write. The small boy started to work in a cotton mill under labor conditions akin to slavery. But in his heart was a dream: â€" THAT SOMEDAY THERE WOULD BE A FREE LIBRARY WITH BOOKS FOR THE POOR AS WELL AS THE RICH â€"â€" BOOKS FOR THE MER- CHANT, FARMER, LABORER, AND THE PROFES- SIONAL MAN. m 1 y UJVL‘ Ll“ Ava-.. John Hallam sailed across the sea to Canada and settled in Toronto. Over the years he worked hard until he had saved enough money to start his own wool busi- ness. As he became prosperous he began to turn his dream of a free library into reality, and championed the free library movement in Toronto. It is seventy-five years since this Father of the Toronto Public Library championed the by-law for the establishment of the free library. “Jugs-La 0 Today our Library on Wright Street in Richmond Hill is part of this public library system. The only key you need is your registration card, which you receive when you walk into the library and say the magic words, “I wish to become a member.” Your wish comes true in seconds. Books of every‘ variety are on the shelves, and grouped together according ‘to their content for your convenience. If you are looking for a good mystery you will find books of this type in one section. Or perhaps you like to read of faraway places, then you’ll go to the section marked “Travel” in large letters. A tidy-minded man named Melvil Dewey is resâ€" ponsible for ths systematic order, called the Dewey Decâ€" mal System. The result is that people can go from one library to another and be reasonably certain of finding the same work listed under the' same heading. Dewey divided the things people are interested in â€" those topics authors write about â€"- into ten classes â€" general works, philosophy, religion. social sciences, language, pure science. technology, the arts. literature, and his- tory. And these ten classes are divided into tens again: for example. under history there‘s geography, travel, biography. and so on. â€"--¢_ “(â€"3, A card catalogue, similar to a filing cabinet in a business office. is in the library for your convenience.

The thick and map riddled Metropolitan planning report was available for the trustees to look over and it is interesting to try to visualize the use of our familiar land twenty years hence.

Dr. Ridge strongly advocates a pattern of buying sites for schools Well in advance of need so that land can be secured before it is develop- ed and the price is high. After pointing out how the. probable provincial grant for each school can be worked out, Mr. Hallman had the trustees go into two groups. Most of the smaller boards worked on their budgets and the graded boards went to the. municipal chambers for a lively discussion on salar- ies. gifted children. and senior schools. ‘ Trustee John; Honsberger of Markham led the discussion on what is needed to enrich the ed- ucation of a fast learner.

"l‘he rufa] areas indicated their favouring retention of the by-Ia_w. It is interesting to note the marked division of opinion be- tween these groups.

A Weekly Comment On Christian Life and Action -_- By Calvin H. Chambers - The Letter of Paul to the Christians in Galatia, has been termed “The Magna Carta of Christian Freedom." In this book of six chapters, Pay] sets forth in absolute terms the exclusive- ness of the Christian Gospel. Why was this letter necessary? isn‘t this the kind of faith you would expect to find in any Christian Church? It is import- ant to keep in mind that the great mass of early Christian be- lievers came from the Jewish synagogue. In fact, whenever Paul went out on missionary work, and came to a new city, the first place he preached was in the synagogue. There he declared that the Messiah of Old Testaé ment prophecy had come. and that Jesus Christ was His Name. There was always a response to his preaching. People became Christian and the Church was started. This is what happened in Gal- atia. quevcr, the influence of Judaism was still strong. In the Church there was a party called the Judaizers, who claimed that belief in Jesus was not enough to make a person a Christian. It was also necessary to keep the law of Moses, to be circumcised. With out these things Christian faith was inadequate_and immature: It was to refute this position, that Paul penned his great letter of Christian freedom. He stated in terms no one could misunder- stand, that Jesus .Christ was all sufficient for the salvation of anyone who trusted in Him. This being so, it was necessary to add plus signs to Christ, be it in the form of the law of Moses, circumcision, or any other relig- ious custom. In fact, by adding these things to faith in Christ, you actually minimized the im- portance of «all that He has ac- complished for His people. A Christian is one who trusts in Christ alone. Acceptance by God does not depend on law Keeping or ethical and moral conduct. Man cannot keep the law. nor live acceptably to God on his own. He must look to Christ as ,a divine Saviour from sin. and in so doing he will be given a new basis for righteous living. Not duty, but_love. ‘1" .. Paul’s letter to the Galatians is still needed today in the Church. Many professing Christ- ians add their own plus signs to Christ. It may not be the law of Moses or circumcision. But what about such things as bap- tism. confirmation, church mem- bership. good works, giving up certain so called worldly pleas- ures. There are people who im- agine that unless these things are taken into consideration that a person cannot be a Christian Paul would heartily disagree. If your faith and trust in Christ are real and sincere, if a man looks to Him for divine forgiveness, and a place in the Kingdom of God, these other things have no bearing on salvation. It is Christ who redeems and changes a man's life, not religious customs. techniques. or any other device. They must have a place in the life of a Christi-an. but they do ‘not form,the basis of his ac- ceptance by God. Faith and faith alone justifies.
