CONGREGATION GOT
SOME TIMELY ADVICE

Rev. Kerr Recommended Burying
the Past—Hopes New Minis-
ter Will Be a Live One

As published yesterday, Rey.
R. W. Kerr has decided to leave
the Prince Rupert pastorate,
making the announcement Sun-
day evening.

Instead of preaching a regular
sermon, Mr. Kerr said he would
take the opportuntiy to. give
them a heart to heart talk. He
went at some length into the
many trials of a minister, who
because of his work having to do
with the personal things of life
was more sensitive to criticism
than other people.

He also took the occasion to
give them some good wholesome
advice with regard to their new
pastor. “There will be some of
you,” said he, “who will rush to
him with your criticism of the
past, and while he may be smil-
ing at you he will be just then
forming his opinion of you.” Let
the past lie dead and turn your
faces with enthusiasm toward
the future.

Another telling phrase was
this: “I hope you will not get a

spick - and - span-afiernoon-tea-

drinking tinister He hoped
the new minister would be a fa-
miliar figure around the = dry
dock, the G. T. P. shops and the
union labor halls.

But a minister must be first

of all a student, and only as such

can he be a great preacher.

“Every Friday and Saturday
night,” said the speaker, 7
rolled up my sleeves and went
into my books, often till twelve
and one o'clock, in order that I
might have something fresh and
interesting, and ‘after all that
only a paltry few turned out on
Sunday morning to hear what T
had to say If you want the hest
out of your own minister turn
out on Sunday mornings and en-
courage him.

He was very pleased that he

for

was given credit

he thought. He did not believe
in the “dearly beloved brethren”
type of sermon. What is often

called *' a plain Gospel sermon”
was usually a flow of platitudes
and was a travesty on the name
Gospel, He hoped the new min-
ister would be one who would
deal with live issues as he had
tried to do

Mr. Kerr
ing seid it was the
decision he ever made. He would
feel worse leaving Prince Rupert
now than he did when leaving his

when seen this morn-
most difficult

old home. Mrs, Kerr, too, had
the same attachment toward the
place and people. The only
thing that could tear him away
was his belief that the change

would be good for both parties.

He has asked the presbytery to
defer his transfer until the last
of February. Within that time
he hopes that a new man can be
located.

BIG SOUTH AFRICAN STRIKE
MAY BE CALLED ANY HOUR

INCOMING BALLOTS FROM ALL ‘TRADES UNIONS FAVOR THE
STRIKE—20,000 MILITIA MOBILIZED FOR MARTIAL LAW

(Special to The Daily News.

Capetown, Jan. 13.Quiet pre-
vails throughout South Africa,
but it may be the lull before the
storm. The incoming ballots
from various cenirés make prac-
tically certain strike will be
voted. Ballots from miners along
the Reef favor a-strike.

Various trades, including shop
assistants and warehouse clerks
in Johannesburg voted similar-
ly. The feeling is growing that
the Johannesburg situation is
becoming more serious. Cape-
town harbor workers were Of-
ficially called out by union bal-

 

lot. The typographical union,
Johannesbuhg branch, resulted
in a large majority favoring a
strike.

The most hopeful feature of
the situation is the extraordinary
success of the m®bilizaiiou of the
troops. It is estimated that 20,-
000 men are on hand. It is a
most prepared campaign and is
like those which made the Boers
so long despair of British
generals. A miner who was
accused of causing a native up-
rising at Jagersfointein Saturday
by kicking a native to death, has
been remanded for trial.

Betting Favors Pattullo

Considerable money is stand-
ing in some of the local broker-
age offices to bet on Pattullo.
One opposition shouter claimed
to have $3,000 io piace on New-
ton. When cornered he reduced
it to a $5 wager, and had to bor-
row the five at that.

As the mayor says, get into
the cart of progress with him

and help to build up the city. Do

not stick in the mud.

It is time that those who will
sacrifice the whole city in order
to satisfy a personal! spite should
be downed for all time.

A man who will deliberately
injure the city in order to satisfy
a personal spite is no fit man for
the office of chief magiStrate.

While a considerable number
of cities in Canada had their
cheques refused on current ac-
count this year, the city of
Prince Rupert has money in the
savings bank.

eS ae

There is no city in the prov-
ince in better financial shape
than the city of Prince Rupert,
thanks to the policy of conserv-
ing the resources of the city

only are they thoroughly safe but
also progressive.

The poliéy which the mayor
has outlined is a constructive
one, along lines which will build
up the city. The policy of the
opposition is purely destructive,
and spells nothing more or less
than stagnation and ruination.

Two new nominations for ald-
ermen were made yesterday, be-
ing that of J. E. Dyer and Thos.
McClymont. With these addi-
tions it ought to be possible to
secure a_ splendid council to
assist Mayor Pattullo in his pro-
gressive programme for this
year.

Do not forget that there ‘s a
million dollar note to be met next
year Better return to office a
man who knows somethiag of
financial affairs, rather than:the
man who was foolish enough to
issue the note, who left a deficit
of $30,000, and who never knew
at any time just how the city did
stand.
